121 | How was Joshua born? | Josh 24:15 | Ken hepting | 92201 | ||
How am I wrong, Hank? Surely He had a mother and a father. His father's name, no doubt, was NUN. Now how do you get I don't understand that, because I made joke out of it by twisting to mean NONE? Are you all that sensitive that the most obvious needs to be explained beyond what is reasonable. Good grief! | ||||||

[When Jesus was here he had no doubt. He said he knew the father was always with him. He never had that little doubt. He did always the things that please the Father. But you do not. Sometimes you do not know whether you do or not. That's the truth. Please don’t say it’s because Jesus was or is God. Please read on] Jesus was alone in the wilderness and when on the cross. No presence of God "felt" here. He was totally alone with just the assurance of the written word and His own faith the father would perform all He purposed. Your post is very insightful and deserves thought by everyone who seeks intimacy with Father. The examples you site are kingdom of God experiences. |

[To answer the second half of your question once Adam and Eve ate of the forbidden fruit God gave us freedom to make or own choices. He wants us to choose Him but instead we turn away and do what we want.] Are you saying here that Adam didn't have the freedom to choose before he chose? |

[If there was no grace and mercy in those days, what was the purpose of the sacrificial system? Was that not a visible demonstration of God's grace? I also think that David spoke enough about God's efficacious, "steadfast love" in the Psalms to eliminate any doubt of God's grace in the OT.] And many unregenerated, depraved souls made use of it. :) |

[In Revelation 1-3 Jesus declares that churches that dishonor his name will be removed or even spit out of his mouth.] I thought once saved, always saved. What happened here? |

128 | Why don't you know for sure? | Eccl 11:6 | Ken hepting | 100156 | ||
[I hope that these verses help in letting you know that God never leaves us alone] Oh but He does in sense that His presence ins't "felt" that brings warmth and confidence. It is at these times when, as Jesus did, one stands on the scriptural ground, fights the good fight of faith and shoews his/her allegiance to the Father. This is what Jesus did and we must also if we seek to become "sons brought into glory". Romans 8:19 (NASB-U) For the anxious longing of the creation waits eagerly for the revealing of the sons of God. ........not just a bunch saved people. Can you see the challenge here? |

I believe you both need to have a deeper understanding of what Paul was speaking of when using the word "edify". Here are some verses to ponder: Romans 14:19 (NASB-U) So then we pursue the things which make for peace and the building up of one another. 1 Cor. 10:23 (NASB-U) All things are lawful, but not all things are profitable. All things are lawful, but not all things edify. 1 Cor. 14:4 (NASB-U) One who speaks in a tongue edifies himself; but one who prophesies edifies the church. 1 Thes. 5:11 (NASB-U) Therefore encourage one another and build up one another, just as you also are doing. 1 Corth 14 is indespensable in the matter of edifying because there is where the mind of the Lord is generated within us. So when we read the scriptures it's like making deposits to our spiritual bank account which He draws upon at the appointed times in our lives. How's that except we have His mind and His word built up in us. It is not our mind and His word because the letter of the word 'can' kill but the Spirit of God brings life when the word is spoken from Him and it will be the word He desires you to speak because you have His Mind. Make sense? |

Point is, you don't believe based on "gut" feelings. With that in mind can't you see that alot of opinion is just that and when mixed with an agenda, becomes a dogma [doctrine?]? | ||||||

[But can you explain how building up one another helps us to know the mind of God. Is it by getting stronger that we get closer to God? And are you quite sure about that?] Quite contrary here. the closer you get to God the stronger you get. Philip. 2:5 (KJV) Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:.........the man. What "mind" did He have? He had His Father's.. John 5:19 (NASB-U) Therefore Jesus answered and was saying to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, unless it is something He sees the Father doing; for whatever the Father does, these things the Son also does in like manner. Now when Paul speaks this.... Romans 8:11 (NASB-U) "But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you." We can see the possibilities if we apply ourselves to "becoming a son". Once we are saved and justified we [are called to] move on to sonhip by the possess of Sanctification and that by abandoning our lives [flesh] at the cross and walking away from them. Jesus did that...as a Son. If we consider ourselves sons and daughters, should we expect less as a requirement from OUR Father. |

[If I had to "keep" my salvation through works. I would mess that up soo bad. Praise God I don't.] Salvation isn't the issue after you are saved. Becoming a son, is. Entering into the kingdom of God to be Sanctified and made into a "friend" of Christ is a calling few hear. Few are taught that that is what Jesus came to show us aside from His paying the penalty for our sin [s] thus clearing the way for entering into His kingdom. Do a Biblical search on the Kingdom of God and see what comes up. Be open. |

I understand what do you are driving at. My reasoning has to do with Jesus, as a man, being tested...Not unlike Job to some extent and certainly not unlike Adam who failed. If He is our example then it stands to reason we will encounter much the same kind of testing that we be approved unto God, faithful true and able trusted. When we fail at that endeavor we have an advocate with the Father who contunually makes intercession for us in our behalf. If it can be seen in that light you will experience joy and not sorrow when things seem to go wrong in life. A learning proccess to be sure. 1 John 5:4 (NASB-U) For whatever is born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith. Faith carries with it JOY. |

[Do you think that seeking that type of relationship would help us to more clearly discern the will of God? Is it that we need to have a closer walk with him?] I thank you for your kind remarks and yes to your question because it is the will of God that you become. He wants genuine sons and daughters to share His kingdom and not a bunch kids who need to be bottle fed ...continually. Have ever heard of Oswald Chambers? He's the author of "My Utmost for His Highest", the most popular daily devotional read today? Here's an excerpt: http://www.myutmost.org/index.html AFTER OBEDIENCE - WHAT? And straightway He constrained His disciples to get into the ship, and to go to the other side. . . ." Mark 6:45-52 We are apt to imagine that if Jesus Christ constrains us, and we obey Him, He will lead us to great success. We must never put our dreams of success as God's purpose for us; His purpose may be exactly the opposite. We have an idea that God is leading us to a particular end, a desired goal; He is not. The question of getting to a particular end is a mere incident. What we call the process, God calls the end. What is my dream of God's purpose? His purpose is that I depend on Him and on His power now. If I can stay in the middle of the turmoil calm and unperplexed, that is the end of the purpose of God. God is not working towards a particular finish; His end is the process - that I see Him walking on the waves, no shore in sight, no success, no goal, just the absolute certainty that it is all right because I see Him walking on the sea. It is the process, not the end, which is glorifying to God. God's training is for now, not presently. His purpose is for this minute, not for something in the future. We have nothing to do with the afterwards of obedience; we get wrong when we think of the afterwards. What men call training and preparation, God calls the end. God's end is to enable me to see that He can walk on the chaos of my life just now. If we have a further end in view, we do not pay sufficient attention to the immediate present: if we realize that obedience is the end, then each moment as it comes is precious. Hope this helps. |

137 | Stripping the Bible of Virgin | Is 7:14 | Ken hepting | 93850 | ||
I would say that the writers of the Gospels were also familiar with what the word "almah" meant and how it was beening used by Isaiah. Ergo, "virgin" was what they wrote. Luke 1:34 (KJV) Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I KNOW NOT A MAN? What do you think Mary meant be that? |
||||||
138 | Stripping the Bible of Virgin | Is 7:14 | Ken hepting | 93881 | ||
I don't meant o be nit-picky but I wouldn't have a problem with it..and don't because, as I stated, the writers of the Gospels didn't have the problem. They understood "almah" to mean more than just "young maiden". Obviously the word must mean more than "young maiden" because of Mary's virginity, no? Stripping virginity from "almah" is an attempt to strip away the virgin birth. Critics do that sort of thing. | ||||||
139 | What is the Hebrew word for "Know?' | Jer 31:34 | Ken hepting | 91456 | ||
"To know" is to have intimate knowledge of, as in intercourse. Gen 38.26 Judah recognized them and said, "She is more righteous than I, since I wouldn't give her to my son Shelah." And he did not sleep with her again...NIV 26 And Judah acknowledged them, and said, She hath been more righteous than I; because that I gave her not to Shelah my son. And he knew her again no more....KJV |

140 | How does the Lord do evil? | Jer 36:3 | Ken hepting | 99837 | ||
It doesn't originate in Him however it is used by Him to sometimes bring about the completion of His purposes. A permiting of Satan or his legions to smite man/men for his/their disobedience. | ||||||
