121 | How did God use circumstances.... | Acts 16:27 | Glory Bound | 134151 | ||
If the jailer had killed himself, he could have never known the saving grace of God. It is quiet likely that the fact that all the prisoners were still present, was a strong indication of the truth of Christianity to the jailer. A positive, and powerful influence. GB |

122 | Was Paul speaking a believer or not one | Rom 7:15 | Glory Bound | 133912 | ||
This is my favorite passage in Romans. Paul was most assuredly speaking as a believer. He was pointing out the battle that goes on in most believers. The battle between the sinful flesh, the lusts thereof, and the Godly desire for righteousness in the mind and soul of the believer. Eph 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. These rulers are not only external, but only too often they are internal. GB |

124 | Praying for someone | Rom 8:28 | Glory Bound | 131137 | ||
The question is not Why? The Question is "How." How much faith do you have when you pray for someone? How much faith does that person have in the Word of God? Are you praying in accordance to Gods will; His word? Is it His will that your prayers be answered in accordance with your will, or His? Rom 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. "All things work together for good... " "All things work together for good... " "All things work together for good... " If you meet this qualification; one who LOVES God; rest assured, you may think things are worse; they may be worse, but "ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER.... ALL THINGS..... ALL THINGS..... If you are a born again Christian, you are among "the called according to his purpose." I sincerely hope this helps. GB |

125 | a more revealing light. | Rom 8:32 | Glory Bound | 132621 | ||
We all have our ups and downs, our spiritually strong and weak moments. Scripture tells us that we are to judge ourselves. When I do this I can imagine nothing other than what it is I know I deserve. And that, most assuredly isn’t what I desire. Though I know without a doubt that my Savior died on the cross to pay the penalty for my sins, I also know, that for every promise in scripture, there is a requirement. There are two sides to every covenant. Try as I may, I cannot uphold my side. My spirit indeed is willing, but my flesh is weak. I do not succumb to the temptation of believing that the only requirement for salvation is to believe, for I know that one must also repent, and that even the demons themselves believe and tremble. Though I am very familiar with scripture, it is when I am weakest that I learn the most. Often I am put in mind of a very familiar passage in a more revealing light. Where do you go when in doubt concerning your salvation? GB |

Thanks folks. It appears that somehow I may have posted my original post twice. I appreciate your responses. It took little more than for me to open my bible, for me to remember the following. I do not understand my own actions. For I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate. Now if I do what I do not want, I agree that the law is good. So then it is no longer I that do it, but sin which dwells within me. For I know that nothing good dwells within me, that is, in my flesh. I can will what is right, but I cannot do it. For I do not do the good I want, but the evil I do not want is what I do. Now if I do what I do not want, it is no longer I that do it, but sin which dwells within me. So I find it to be a law that when I want to do right, evil lies close at hand. For I delight in the law of God, in my inmost self, but I see in my members another law at war with the law of my mind and making me captive to the law of sin which dwells in my members. Wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death? Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I of myself serve the law of God with my mind, but with my flesh I serve the law of sin. Romans 7:15-25.NIV I pray this passage will be as strenthtening to others as it, and your posts are to me. May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. GB |

128 | why evangalise if God has already chosen | Rom 10:14 | Glory Bound | 130685 | ||
God knew before time who would and who would not accept his son. Thus, those He knew would, he called the chosen ones, or the elect. Do you know who is and who is not among the elect? Could it be that someone may not be among those chosen by God because you did not tell that someone about Jesus Christ, the son of God? GB |

129 | License To Marry? | Rom 13:1 | Glory Bound | 130584 | ||
I never really thought of it before, and I really don't recall any mentions thereof in scripture, but If Moses gave a "writing of divorcement," and scripture makes at least 11 mentions thereof, might there not have been some sort of "writting of marriage"? I can understand the licensing of marriage today. IF IT WERE ACCORDING TO A REASON. Unfortunantly though, there seems to be little rational reasoning this day and time, concerning marriage, or much of anything else for that matter. GB |

130 | License To Marry? | Rom 13:1 | Glory Bound | 130670 | ||
I'm not familiar with the statistics, but I would ask. how many marriage licenses "between a man and a woman" are regularly refused? Gods word doesn't say "THAT THERE NEEDS TO BE A LICENSE TO MARRY", but it does tell us to adhere to the laws of the land. Whether you, or I like or understand the law or not, is of no consequence. You state: "It just says that whoever God so joins let no man put asunder. Asunder means to not allow any person to have authority over you in the matters of God and the heart--except for God. " I would suggest you look up the word "asunder" before you make any more statements concerning its meaning. Word for word, a simple dictionary will cover a ton of ignorance. Concerning scripture one must keep in mind that "precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little", that they may join "them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts" If you do not understand my statement and quotations from scripture, you would be well advised to invest in a good dictionary.

131 | License To Marry? | Rom 13:1 | Glory Bound | 130675 | ||
If you didn't get a marriage license, is your pastor a revolutionary too? Was there a Pastor? It is for sure that you were not married by a Justice of the peace. Was there an actual marriage? Or as many, have you simply made a bunch of vows and thus consider yourselves married in the eyes of God? Surely not! GB |

132 | Can a Christian be a Democrat? | 1 Cor 1:10 | Glory Bound | 134017 | ||
I think it is what the Democrats stand for today that this person is addressing. The so-called "Democratic" party advocate abortion, same sex marriage, etc, etc, and it seems, everything that scripture teaches against. A person who knows scripture and truly loves the Lord [will not] vote for one, no matter the political party, who advocates the opposite of what scripture, teaches. Many who profess to be Christians will, for whatever reason (and whatever reason it is, it is a DEMONIC deception), say that they can support those who advocate such as what the Democratic Party does today, but I have news for them... One, who supports another who murders, or makes it "legal" to murder, will be just as guilty on judgment day as the very doctor who removed the cranial matter (brains) from that partially born infant. There is ABSOLUTELY no medical reason for a partial birth abortion! And the fact of the matter is that fewer abortions are performed with the health of the mother in mind, than simply because the child is not wanted for whatever reason. If you do not believe me, check the stats for yourself. Scripture addresses no specific person or political party concerning such matters. It does however, address specific actions which individuals or political parties may practise. We cannot judge anyone, but for heavens sake people! We have the authority to judge their actions. That authority is called The Word… Scripture… When will we learn to use that authority? GB |

133 | Can a Christian be a Democrat? | 1 Cor 1:10 | Glory Bound | 134022 | ||
God knows. He knew. And He is. We who know His word, and in whom is His word, know too. It is rather tiring, wouldn't you say, trying to open the eyes of those who claim to see. So sadly do we see their blindness. So proudly do they reveal their ignorance. We will admit that we too, see through glass darkly. but then face to face: now we know in part; but then shall we shall know even as also we are known. I have often wanted to take on the same "don't care" attitude you profess, dear soul, but there is something inside which tells me that this is not why I am here. This is not why our Savior lived and died. PLEASE, as Christians, lets not advocate a "don't care" attitude. Neither with politics, nor the salvation of others. For if we can save one aborted child with our vote; prevent one same sex marriage, there will be one more soul who may lead someone else to Christ, one less perverted househole in America, and we will have done at least one usefull thing in life. Don't let the enemy fool you. God Knows, but this does not mean that He does not care. For it is not His will that any should perrish, but that all should know his Son. "Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish. Mat 18:14" Were you to get involved, could you possiably save even one of His little ones? In christ GB |

Point 1: There are biblical attributes to this person’s question. If such a discussion is inappropriate for this forum, perhaps this forum is not the forum it appears to be, a biblical discussion forum. Point 2: Being a Christian is not only believing in Christ, but living in Him, and teaching others to do the same. Being a Christian is much more than what you, dear soul, have denoted. Point 3: We cannot pass judgment on anyone, but it is by the authority of the Living Word that we ARE to judge on the ACTIONS of others. Point 4: Perhaps this person’s terminology could have been better chosen, but who are we to judge his heart, and what he is trying to say? Can we not simply correct the terminology? Are we not all “saved sinners,” or are there some among us who have no sin? Can you Hank, vote for one who is a murderer by association? Or are we, because we are Christians, not to vote, or advocate what it is we are to live by, the Word? If I were to knowingly vote for one who advocates abortion, would I not be just as guilty of killing that innocent infant as would be the doctor who sucked out the cranial matter (brains) from that tiny, helpless, living body? Some Christians desire just to sit on the sidelines and watch. I do not believe this is what Christ taught or why He lived, died and rose again. We are told not to be conformed to the world. We are not told to keep our mouth shut and just sit by and watch while the world is conformed to the enemy. GB |

137 | Can a Christian be a Democrat? | 1 Cor 1:10 | Glory Bound | 134038 | ||
Thank you, dear soul for putting it like it is, without the "political correctness" demanded by so many who profess, yet know not what it is that they profess. Might I add concerning "the party of the Homosexuals, Abortionists (Murderers) and Generations of Welfare recipients", that "Anyone who condones these acts is (not just spiritually blind,) but spiritually DEAD," for we can not serve two masters. Nor can we serve one master while advocating the actions of the other. Those who think otherwise should reevaluate their position in Christ. Sadly, many are into the Word, but it is through their actions and words, that the evidence surfaces, that the Word has yet to make its way into them. GB |

Will do. Thank you mommapbs, but I stand by statements concerning the posts to which they are attached. I appologize if I appeared to be critical of Hank. Though we often dissagree, I love that fella. I also respect him very much. GB |

140 | Still waiting.... | 1 Cor 8:5 | Glory Bound | 130814 | ||
Whomever one serves, figuratively is their god. Many worship money. They would not give up their god any more than I would give up my God. Exo 20:3 states, "You shall have no other gods before Me." This is not saying that there are any gods other than He. What it is saying is "YOU SHALL HAVE NO OTHER". Please note that when the word god is capitalized, also look at the word “Me”. the capitalization denotes a reference to the one and only (G)od. Keep in mind also, that one can’t expect to fully understand scripture without reading the whole, or at least, a great majority of it. Please indulge me. I would like to quote a story I read in a book by Tim Lahaye. There was an individual who used the “hunt and peck method” of studying scripture. This method, employed by many is simply a random opening of the Bible in hopes that they will find something of value. This individual opened his Bible to Matthew 27:5 “…And he (Judas) went and hanged himself. He then opened to another passage, Luk 10:37, and discovered, “ Go and do likewise. “ Still a third peck produced the passage, John 13:27 “What thou doest, do quickly. “ Sincerely, many do not know how close the above comes to describing their Bible study methods. I would highly recommend Tim LaHayes book “How to Study The Bible” to any who are sincere in the study of scripture, even to those who are best at the art. In its entirety, scripture is self explanatory, but as with anything else: to determine the facts, one must have familiarized themselves with ALL the pertinent and relevant information, Hope this helps.
