121 | John 9:31 is it a true spiritual fact. | John 9:31 | GeorJoy | 94079 | ||
You have misinterpreted my response. I simply answered the question, which was “Is this statement: We know that God does not hear sinners, a true spiritually fact since it was not said by God or Jesus but by the man who was made to see.” Is that you EdB? This forum is so confusing that I can’t keep up with, to whom I am responding. I should like to think that even though we hardly know one another, you would know me better than that. I agree wholeheartedly with your statement posted on Sat 08/23/03, 1:04pm concerning the question. George |

Good thought. "God heareth not sinners." George |

123 | John 9:31 is it a true spiritual fact. | John 9:31 | GeorJoy | 94257 | ||
I would agree, but have to disagree, for scripture says "God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a ----- worshipper of God,------- and doeth his will, him he heareth," not God heareth not sinners when they pray concerning "healing and other works of the spirit." Why can't we simply accept scripture in it's simplicity, and leave what we don't understand to the fact that there is a lot that we will never understand while in this fleshly state, rather than rationalizing and trying to make others believe what "we think" the word means... God (simply) heareth not sinners. The Word says it. The entire context of Christ's teaching supports it supports it and I believe it. Anyone who insists on adding to the word might be wise to consider the warnings in the last few verses of the book of Revelations. George |

It would appear that we all agree. We are simply trying to iron out the ruffles... George |

128 | What scripture quotes name of "beloved d | John 21:20 | GeorJoy | 91547 | ||
No. It dosen't really answer my question, for it does not state who, or which desciple "had leaned back on His breast at the supper." However, I have found the answer. It is not dirrectly addressed in scripture, and I am sure it is one that many will not understand. Consider the fact that in his gospel, "John" looks on himself as a third party. Keeping this in mind, one will find the answer therein. George |

Ok. Many times, I have read what you have quoted. I see not an answer to my question therein. In my blissful ignorance, which is not due to any lack of biblical study, just a lack of study on this particular topic; I have determined that what I refer to is an additional gift such as is "wisdom, prophecy, toungs and the gift of interpritation." I know that there is a doctrinal issue here. I address this question only to those who are aware of and have experienced the utterance of toungs. Let me rephrase my question by replacing the word "spirit" with "ghost." Once again, I will reveal my ignorance by stating that although currently I have no biblical foundation for the following statement, I believe there is one. I (think) they, the Holy Spirit and The Holy Ghost are two completely different things. Correct me with scripture, if you will. Remove the splinter from my eye, (I AM NOT SAYING THAT ANYONE DOES, but) only if you have no mote in yours, please. Thanks George. |

Thanks for your response Morgah. It is not my intention to spark a debate the subject as to whether or not the Holy Ghost and the Holy Spirit are one in the same, for it is completely out of line with my question. However, based on my studies after having corrected my original wording of the question; not that it matters, but I would have to disagree with you, or rather, say that I feel that the word 'pneuma' may have simply been used metaphorically. In the KJV "Holy Ghost" is mentioned 89 times in the NT. O (zero) times in the OT. Whereas, "Holy spirit" is mentioned 4 times in the NT and 3 in the OT. Quoting from the KJV, John 7:39 says (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.) Yes, the NIV replaces "Ghost with spirit." If one READS what it says in KJV, they will see that in Jn 7:39, it calls the Holy Ghost the spirit. The spirit which the believers were to receive, which hadn’t yet been given was the Holy Ghost. Considering the fact that the “Holy Ghost” had not been given yet, I can understand why it wouldn’t be mentioned in the OT. But, I believe it was mentioned therein, just not described as such. I think that if one will do as I have, (and do a “phrase” search on the two, and then study the verses they have searched out) they can but come to the same conclusion; That the Holy Ghost and The Holy Spirit are two completely different entities. Wouldn’t you consider that the word 'pneuma' could have been used metaphorically? Either way, this is beside the point, for I am convinced, and not here to debate that point. My question was, and is as follows; Can one have received the Holy GHOST and not know? I have yet to come to a conclusion based on scripture. George |

Thank you Tim Have you ever spoken in toungs as did those to whom these words were originally spoken? George |

Thanks for your response. I am now in the process of studying the book of Acts, I am well on my way to a definitive answer of my own. If one didn't know whether or not they had the Holy Ghost after what Acts 2 depicts. They would have to have a much harder head than I admittedly have. Holy Spirit, Holy Ghost; I feel they arw meatiphors, for there are 3 in the Godhead; the Father; the Son and the Holy Gost (spirit). As is spoken, "the spirit of man;" There is also the spirit of God, the spirit of Jesus and the spirit of the Holy Ghost as was previously noted herein. George |

I had things more than a little mixed up. Like some often do, I opened my mouth before I had engaged my brain. Although having read, I did not see. "with the evidence of speaking." Thanks George |

Hi, and Thanks for your response josiebible. There is no noubt in my mind, according to my understanding obtained through diligent bible studies, that considering what you have stated, you have correctly answered my question. My lack of "understanding" for so long could have easily sent me to hell. If it had not been for the Grace of God, and a GOOD God fearing woman whos patience is only exceeded by that of our Lord Humself, I might have never accepted the fact that I just needed to "accept" through faith what the word had promised, and that understanding would eventually eventually come, according to His will. Hang on to, and learn to use that POWER for the GLORY of HIM whom it is from. May God richly bless you and yours. George |

Why do we "think?" Why can't we "Know?" Please don't take this as a personal attack Justme, but I see the terms "I think that," "I believe that" so much lately on this forum that it leads me to believe that these people have no bibles. If they did, they wouldn’t have to “think or believe,” they would KNOW. I believe in what I believe because “faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God, (Rom 10:17 KJV)” "And I have not only heard, but I have seen the word of God. So I don’t have to “just think or just believe that…,” I know. I could look up every verse it would take to answer your numerous questions. However, who would that benefit? Sure, it would give me the additional experience, but I believe, and, know that "rather than being continuously given the fish, a person should LEARN HOW TO FISH FOR ONESLEF, thus, I would recommend Tim LaHayes book, "How To Study the Bible." When I first saw it on the bookshelf, my first thought was "Ha! Any Idiot knows how to STUDY THE BIBLE." Well, the spirit led me to buy it. It cost about 10.00. Well I barely got into that book before I learned that I wasn't just "any idiot." That book has been a wealth of information and inspiration to me. Coupled with your NIV, NASB and perhaps one or two of Tim LaHaye's recommended commentaries and "Bible" dictionaries, you will fine Justme, that Tim's book will be a welcome help to your learning the word in depths that you may not currently realize exist. There is so much in the word that does not meet the eye of even the strongest believer. Salvation is the greatest. We will enjoy that in it’s fullest in due season, but meantime, Grace has so much to offer that is mostly overlooked, misunderstood, contradicted and totally missed I'd say that, rather than we being like a battery, we are more like a high powered automobile, observing the speed limits set by society (the flesh.) We don’t really know what power we posses (the spirit,) neither do we know what powers are available (the gifts and promises in Gods Word,), even though it is there in the owners manual, because we don’t necessarily understand that manual; have been lied to, misinformed, and or simply don’t read it… And NO... Speaking in toungs doesn’t come naturally, nor can it be TAUGHT by MAN. Read Paul’s first letter to the Corinthians. Then re-read it. Then read it again and study it this time. Don't be afraid to make notes, underline or highlight verses in your bible. It's a book. Books are made for learning. You won't defile the word. God Bless George |

Thank you, my brother. It is funny in an odd sort of a way how one can read something so many times and get so much more each time. Yet, I still haven't the fullness of these scriptures you quote within. Read josiebible’s response posted Fri 08/1/03, 11:49pm if you will. There is meaning therein that is as yet indiscernible to this meager beggar. Your comments thereon will be welcomed. George |

You are so welcome my sister, and Thank you. However, be prepared when speaking out such truth as you as you have just stated, on such sights as this, for although there are many who are sincere, there are just as many who will slither in there and try to get you into a debate, which, if you are not exceptionally well versed in scripture, will scramble your brain. Yours was the most humble and purest of all the responses I received. I have no doubt you have it. My studies of the WORD itself tell me that it is a special power. A power that, I think the majority who receive it, don't know how to use because of their ignorance and seeking of signs. I, in my ignorance have been seeking a sign, as I have been taught. When I get over my ignorance, perhaps I too will have that power. In His Abundance God Has blessed us. How can we recognize these blessings if, in our ignorance we don’t accept them? Blessed (meaning joyful) is the one who is not only into the word, but has the word in him (or her.) George |

Thanks for your response. Joann said it all. No amount of discussion could say it better. Where the speaking of toungs “in church” is concerned, I do not simply "believe," I know what Paul said about speaking of toungs in church. Please do not take offence, for I mean none, but as I have said many times on this sight; I really don't want to know what anyone else "believes" or "thinks." It is my desire that I should back up my belief by scripture. Likewise, when I ask a question, I ask for scriptural foundation to the answer. This will make a wise man think, and hopefully get him into scripture to find the answer; even if he knows, or thinks he knows it, myself included. It also brings out the "thinkers" and those who simply believe what they have been programmed to believe, as well as those who use the "Hunt And Peck" method for their scriptural belief. When I receive an answer as “pure” as that of Joann, the discernment that God has blessed me with desires no more. I don’t even need any of the “so called” details of what she said. It is the analization and dissection of such that scrambles the brain of the analyst and dissector, and often destroys the one who is analyzed or dissected as well. Thus, the Enemy has accomplished his goal…I perfer DISCERNMENT. Once again. Thanks for your response George |

Thanks Radioman2. Although I can see the truth in your quote, I prefer milk before I go on to steak. I will, however, print your post and do some chewing on it, for it's a delicious looking meal! George |
