121 | How do we know that we are truly saved? | 1 John 3:24 | kw5kw | 141742 | ||
The "warm-fuzzies" that I speak of is the Holy Ghost inside me, making me feel all warm inside and He's hugging me from within. It's a hard feeling to describe other than "warm-fuzzies." If you don't know "warm-fuzzies" personally, maybe you should try to get a bit closer yourself. And, yes, It's VERY personal, my relationship with God! As far as some verses: Act 18:25 This man was instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in the spirit, he spake and taught diligently the things of the Lord, knowing only the baptism of John. Rom 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. Rom 8:4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. Rom 8:5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. Rom 8:9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. Rom 8:10 And if Christ [be] in you, the body [is] dead because of sin; but the Spirit [is] life because of righteousness. Rom 8:13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. Rom 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. Rom 8:15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. Rom 8:16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: Rom 8:27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what [is] the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to [the will of] God. 1Cr 2:11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. 1Cr 2:12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. 1Cr 3:16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and [that] the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? Rom 8:27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what [is] the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to [the will of] God. Rom 11:8 (According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day. Rom 12:11 Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord; Rom 15:19 Through mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God; so that from Jerusalem, and round about unto Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of Christ. Rom 15:30 Now I beseech you, brethren, for the Lord Jesus Christ's sake, and for the love of the Spirit, that ye strive together with me in [your] prayers to God for me; 1Cr 2:4 And my speech and my preaching [was] not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: 1Cr 2:10 But God hath revealed [them] unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. 1Cr 2:11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. 1Cr 2:12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. 1Cr 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know [them], because they are spiritually discerned. 1Cr 3:16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and [that] the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? 1Cr 4:21 What will ye? shall I come unto you with a rod, or in love, and [in] the spirit of meekness? 1Cr 5:3 For I verily, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged already, as though I were present, [concerning] him that hath so done this deed, 1Cr 5:4 In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, to be continued... |

122 | How do we know that we are truly saved? | 1 John 3:24 | kw5kw | 141740 | ||
I've got them, do you? I know God's in me, Do you? you want a verse, here's a couple: John 5:36 "But I have a testimony greater than that from John. For the deeds that the Father has assigned me to complete--the deeds I am now doing--testify about me that the Father has sent me. 5:37 And the Father who sent me has himself testified about me. You people have never heard his voice nor seen his form at any time, 5:38 nor do you have his word residing in you, because you do not believe the one whom he sent. 5:39 You study the scriptures thoroughly because you think in them you possess eternal life, and it is these same scriptures that testify about me, 5:40 but you are not willing to come to me so that you may have life. |

123 | How do we know that we are truly saved? | 1 John 3:24 | kw5kw | 141652 | ||
There have been answers that actually point to scriptures, as the second part of the question referred to, and there have been answers that have taken 30 minutes of reading and re-reading to almost comphrend. I'm taking a simple answer. You KNOW you're saved when two things happen: 1) When you no longer have any guilty conscience from sinning. If you don't sin, you don't have a guilty conscience. This happens when you are following ALL of God's Commandments. 2) You have the "warm fuzzies" that the Holy Ghost, that is now living inside you, gives to you. I am trying my absolute best to "bounce my eyes" to avoid any sin that comes in through the # 1 portal of sin. It's hard, but it works! Avoiding any television show that has a hint of immorality... ie "Desprate Housewifes" all soaps, etc. Looking away during beer commercials (bikini twins). By doing these things I am trying my best to live in the 21st century and keep impure thoughts out of my life. (I was there, NO LONGER!) THANK GOD AND JESUS!!! Next, remove impure thoughts from your life. Don't just open a door for a woman so you can follow her 'wiggle'. Open to be courtious, not to oggle her rear. The eyes and mind are the two most important inputs of our body. Train them to do God's work and you can begin to live as God wants you to. Once you do this, the 'warm-fuzzies' become a part of your life, and you know you're saved. Personal experience has taught me this. Your friend with Christ. Russ |

124 | Which book in the Bible do I commence | Bible general Archive 2 | kw5kw | 141388 | ||
It might not be the book of the Bible that you’re having trouble with as much as the language of the interpretation that you’re using. The King James Version used the language of the time of the translation, i.e. 1611. To me it is hard to understand at first. Although, it’s what I grew up with in church. It’s probably the reason I could never read the Bible. I’d read it on Sundays, and put it down through the rest of the week. I could never get past all the thee’s, thou’s, shaltnot’s and wherefore’s.” We were given a paraphrased Living Bible when we were married by my mother-in-law. I never could read it either. It just wasn’t the Bible to me. Then came the NIV. They put the Bible into today’s language and I could understand it. I picked it up and haven’t put it down since. Now, I have 2 different study Bibles in NIV. One different reference bible in NIV. A 'standard' Holy Bible in KJV, a reference Bible in KJV. A copy of the Net Bible with it's study notes. I also have the Living Letters translation that puts still a different light on the words as well. I use the web, currently, to access the other translations that I don't have in print form. So, you might try a different version of the Bible. Try on the web. NASB is here on this site. http://www.blueletterbible.org/ is another site that offers a more 'literal' version such as KJV or NASB. The English Standard Version can be found here: http://www.gnpcb.org/esv/browse/ . The Net Bible, an entirely different translation, can be found here: http://www.bible.org/default.asp . This site has a bunch of study materials just like the blueletterbible.org site. The Net Bible is very close to the NIV, but still a bit different. For beginning Bible readers, I would right now highly recommend the Daily Study Bible from Zondervan publishing. Either in the NIV (recommended for readability in today's English ( you can see it at: http://www.zondervanbibles.com/0310919797.htm )) or the KJV. Personally, I feel that you can't have too many translations. What one doesn't make clear, a slightly different viewpoint, or wording of a passage might bring the passage into the light and make it clear for you to understand. I hope this helps. Russ |

125 | The things concerning this Child. | Luke 2:16 | kw5kw | 141297 | ||
"2) The Scriptures "in the original languages" do not capitalize any pronouns. If the original manuscripts did not capitalize pronouns, then WHY does anyone today feel that pronouns referring to the Deity MUST be capitalized? Why, because I think it gives the ultimate respect which is due the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. |

126 | Why God allows such tragedy | Bible general Archive 2 | kw5kw | 140844 | ||
God does not give us the answer to every question, although you can be shure he has a purpose in (reason for) everything that happens, either good or bad. Look at Job. Prosperous he was, he had all that he could want. He had large loving family, property, posessions. When Satin took it ALL away (with God's permission), did he curse God? No, he continued with praises. God was so pleased with Job, that he gave Job twice all that he had taken away. Job 42:10-17. So, I cannot answer why, no one can. But, you can be sure, there is ultimately a very devine reason. |

127 | Scriptural support? | Bible general Archive 2 | kw5kw | 140813 | ||
Brother Tim, Of course, statues are all over. Idols are objects of worship. You can have a statue of Jesus, if you don't worship the statue then it's ok. But, once you start worshiping the statue, it becomes an idol. You worship Jesus our Lord the Christ, not the statue of Jesus. It can't do anything for you. Russ |

128 | is the archangel bad? | Jude 1:9 | kw5kw | 140755 | ||
Am I mistaken in thinking the archangel is bad? In Jude 1:9 "But Michael the archangel, when he disputed with the devil and argued about the body of Moses, did not dare pronounce against him a railing judgment, but said, "The Lord rebuke you!"" I was always under the assumption that the archangel was like the devil. Please help me on this |

129 | Scriptural support? | Bible general Archive 2 | kw5kw | 140740 | ||
A symbol that shows your belief in God and Jesus, I feel, is ok. You are not worshiping the symbol. The symbol, wither it a cross or a fish, is just allowing others to assertain that you are indeed a Christian, and that you beleive strongly enough that you want others to know. After all, all Christian demoninations have been using the cross as a symbol for 2000 years now. Statues, however, should be advoided at all costs. Acts 17:16 - 34. I'm still unsure about pictures (of God or Jesus) in the home, ok to look at in museums I guess. Movies such as 'the 10 Commandments', ok to watch, not to worship the movie. Art (pictues and movies) can be a wonderful teaching tool if used correctly. My humble opinion, for what it's worth. Russ |

130 | Is Gambling Wrong? | Bible general Archive 2 | kw5kw | 140730 | ||
Lot’s, as gambling was called in the Bible, is mentioned 24 times using a Strong’s Search at Blueletterbible.org. Without listing all of them, but here are but a few: Lev 16:8 And Aaron shall cast lots upon the two goats; one lot for the LORD, and the other lot for the scapegoat. Jos 18:6 Ye shall therefore describe the land [into] seven parts, and bring [the description] hither to me, that I may cast lots for you here before the LORD our God. Neh 10:34 And we cast the lots among the priests, the Levites, and the people, for the wood offering, to bring [it] into the house of our God, after the houses of our fathers, at times appointed year by year, to burn upon the altar of the LORD our God, as [it is] written in the law: Psa 22:18 They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture. Mat 27:35 And they crucified him, and parted his garments, casting lots: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, They parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture did they cast lots. Mar 15:24 And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments, casting lots upon them, what every man should take. Luk 23:34 Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots. Jhn 19:24 They said therefore among themselves, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, They parted my raiment among them, and for my vesture they did cast lots. These things therefore the soldiers did. and finally the deciples cast their own lots to decide who the replacement for Judas was to be: Act 1:26 And they gave forth their lots; and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles. The casting of lots is indeed Biblical, and not frowned upon by God. Habitual gambling however, is, as it can come between you and your Lord. Even I enjoy playing a game of cards myself here and there, but, I do not put playing a game above my Lord. Any game, chess, checkers, cards, dice, doesn't matter, if you don't know the outcome beforehand is essentially a gamble after all. My original thoughts. Russ |

131 | NIV bible | Bible general Archive 2 | kw5kw | 140132 | ||
I missed up... For Paraphrased I meant the New Living Letters, for conventional I meant the NASB. I mistyped and mis-proofread. I knew what I wanted to say, It just didn't come out that way. I humbly appologize. My God bless. Russ |

132 | NIV bible | Bible general Archive 2 | kw5kw | 140073 | ||
Thanks for the welcome. I, personally, do read the NIV, now. It helps me understand in today's language, without getting lost in the language structure of the early 17th century. However, I do miss the KJV(AV) and all of the "shall not's, Thou's, wherefore's", etc. I read and compare between the NIV, KJV(AV), and the paraphrased NASB. I'm looking forward to getting another version (a real book, not off of the web) and reading it thru. Reading a different version each year might be a really good ambition for some people. Hmmm, I think I'll bring that up in my Sunday School Class this comming week. We're going to try and get a group together to read it in a year, and a different translation might add some extra insite not already gained. I might add, that unless you understand the original language that the particular book was written in, they're all translations. Each and every one of them! I don't understand Greek, or Hebrew, or any language other than English. I do feel however that God's hand has guided the pens (minds) of the translators, all of them. Each version does it's own good and will reach a group of people to be saved. Amen. Russ |

133 | NIV bible | Bible general Archive 2 | kw5kw | 139857 | ||
To me it's much easier to read and understand than the KJV (AV). As an example here are two completely random verses, I just opened my KJV and this is what I saw: Luke X:8 (KJV) "And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you: Here is the corresponding NIV version: Luke X:8 (NIV) " When you enter a town and are welcomed, eat what is set before you. The NIV is just easier to read. It has been translated into "modern" English, and not the "Kings English" of the early 17th century. Phrases such as: "Verily, Verily I say unto you..." and puts them into the modern: "I tell you the truth..." Hope this helps Russ |

It is written: 2Ti 3:16 All scripture [is] given by inspiration of God, and [is] profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: To me that means that anything and everything in the Holy Bible may be considered as true. |

135 | Can a man be with another man | Bible general Archive 2 | kw5kw | 122784 | ||
Leviticus 18:22 You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination. Leviticus 20:13 If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon them. And Romans 1: 18 to end -- paying attenion to v27 God's Wrath on Unrighteousness 18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. 19 For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. 20 For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. 21 For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Claiming to be wise, they became fools, 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles. 24 Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, 25 because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen. 26 For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; 27 and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error. 28 And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done. 29 They were filled with all manner of unrighteousness, evil, covetousness, malice. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, haters of God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, 31 foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless. 32 Though they know God's decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they not only do them but give approval to those who practice them. |
