121 | Why can't I speak in tongues yet ? | Bible general Archive 4 | stjohn | 204265 | ||
Dear Joann: Doc has given you very good advice. If I may I'd just like to add that Scripture does not teach that everyone gets the same gifts. " Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit. And there are varieties of ministries, and the same Lord. There are varieties of effects, but the same God who works all things in all persons. But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. For to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, and to another the word of knowledge according to the same Spirit; to another faith by the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit, and to another the effecting of miracles, and to another prophecy, and to another the distinguishing of spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, and to another the interpretation of tongues. But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually just as He wills. 1Cor 12:4-11 You see, we don't get to chose who gets what, God does. And Scripture makes it clear that not everyone gets them all. Now you are Christ's body, and individually members of it. And God has appointed in the church, first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, various kinds of tongues. All are not apostles, are they? All are not prophets, are they? All are not teachers, are they? All are not workers of miracles, are they? All do not have gifts of healings, do they? All do not speak with tongues, do they? All do not interpret, do they? 1 Cor 12:27-30 These question's are not expressly answered but (No) can certainly be implied as the answer to them all. I hope this helps you. Shalom and God bless John |

Dear Joann: Just a word about pryer. God doesn't care so much about long flowery speeches, "When you pray, you are not to be like the hypocrites; for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and on the street corners so that they may be seen by men. Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full. But you, when you pray, go into your inner room, close your door and pray to your Father who is in secret, and your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you."Matt 6:5-6 What he desires is a contrite and penitent heart, and He knows your heart well my dear; so pray to Him, Just as you do, and don't worry about having so many words. He loves to hear from you, by the way. God bless John |

123 | what does kingdom mean in the bible | Bible general Archive 4 | stjohn | 204298 | ||
Hi mbsmith: Welcome to the forum! This is taken from, Easton's Bible Dictionary Kingdom Of God (Matthew 6:33; Mark 1:14, 15; Luke 4:43) "kingdom of Christ" (Matthew 13:41; 20:21) "kingdom of Christ and of God" (Ephesians 5:5) "kingdom of David" (Mark 11:10) "the kingdom" (Matthew 8:12; 13:19) "kingdom of heaven" (Matthew 3:2; 4:17; 13:41), all denote the same thing under different aspects, viz.: (1) Christ's mediatorial authority, or his rule on the earth; (2) the blessings and advantages of all kinds that flow from this rule; (3) the subjects of this kingdom taken collectively, or the Church. God bless John |

125 | How do these accounts reconcile? | Bible general Archive 4 | stjohn | 204368 | ||
Dear Tam: I do hope this doesn't offend you, but I'm really not interested at all in a speculative discussion on this, or any other part of Scripture. First of all it's not what I said, please note that it was from gotquestions.org What I am concerned with is, the overall message of the Gospel. Jesus Christ was born, He lived a sinless life, He was crucified and died for our sins, He has risen from the dead, He commanded us, as believers, to go and preach His massage of salvation to the lost world, and He now sits at the Fathers right hand in glory. Speculation plus whatever else you put next to it adds up to nothing. Sola Scriptura! 1 Cor 2:2 For I determined to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and Him crucified. Shalom and God bless John |

126 | How do these accounts reconcile? | Bible general Archive 4 | stjohn | 204398 | ||
Thanks for the lesson,... Tam. But I thought we were focussed on a specific part of Scripture, and was mostly referring to that. Although what I posted is the underling message of the Bible; Your question was about particular Scriptures in the 4 Gospels, and my answer by sending you an excerpt from gotquestions.org was in hope that it would put your questions about reconciling them to rest. And, what I subsequently posted, also is what I feel "very strongly" is "important" about the 4 Gospel accounts of His death and resurrection, in hope that it would help you focus on that, and not on superfluous details like the unbelievers do. Sheech! Shalom and God bless John |

129 | Why did Jesus not want the evil spirits | Bible general Archive 4 | stjohn | 204945 | ||
Hi SBG: Welcome to the forum! That is a good question, and one that Scripture doesn't give a clear answer. Of course their are some wags that will try to explain it, but speculation will not clear up the ambiguity of this part of Scripture. Here are some other verses that you can read contextually and see for your-self. Jesus tells others the same thing, followers, and Apostles, alike, and I've chewed on this a bit, as have many, many others, and I've never come across a clear explanation nor in MHO has anyone else. One of those, Dut 29:29 things. The secret things of God, belong to God. Matt 9:30, Matt 12:16, Mark 8:30, Luke 9:21 Shalom and God bless John |

Tam: I agree that does seem to be a good explanation, but, (Is 55:8-9) Though I would be hard put indeed, to argue with explanation. Just a thought :-) Shalom and God bless John |

131 | Why did satan dispute over moses body | Bible general Archive 4 | stjohn | 205301 | ||
Hi dscott: Welcome to the forum! Now that, is a very good question. I have no idea. and I don't think Scripture tells us. There is a great deal of speculation about this but SBF is a Scripture based bible study and we hold to the doctrine of Sola Scriptura which means that if something is not supported in Scripture we usually just poo poo it. Sorry for my crudeness, I mean no harm. maybe someone else will have an idea though. God bless John |

132 | Why did satan dispute over moses body | Bible general Archive 4 | stjohn | 205309 | ||
Hi Searcher: That is an interesting thread, and I believe a pretty good explanation, plus the example shown in Zechariah 3:1-3, and, Jude 1:9 in how not to act by ranting or railing, and 2 Kin 18:4 seems to make a connection as well. Thanks, Searcher, that was one explanation that makes a lot of sense. I've heard some pretty weird and wild explanations for this, including one that satin wanted to re-animate the body of Moses like some kind of zombie! God bless John |

135 | laying out fleece vs divining | Bible general Archive 4 | stjohn | 205700 | ||
Hi believer: Good question, and I don't question your sincerity, but, let me ask you this question. How many dousers, or diviners, have you ever known, or heard of, that were ever given instructions by GOD and were running around with a stick, or looking into a crystal ball, trying to find out, and make sure, whether it was really GOD that was talking to them-?? Shalom John |

140 | Was one of the Apostles boiled in oil? | Bible general Archive 4 | stjohn | 206188 | ||
Hi MickysMom... Welcome to the forum! Some scholars believe that John was boiled in oil and survived, but we cant really say for sure, it's not mentioned in The Bible. You can go to this address though and do a search, by putting your question in the search box. http://www.ccel.org/search You'll see a lot of references to this event and others, though you may have to do some reading, to find what you are looking for, but I'm sure you can find plenty to ponder. God bless John |
