141 | Elders anointing sick with oil. | James 5:14 | Pastor Glenn | 63699 | ||
justme, I think the anointing with oil is an act of faith as in the following scriptures: Acts 5:15 so that they brought the sick out into the streets and laid them on beds and couches, that at least the shadow of Peter passing by might fall on some of them. Mark 6:56 Wherever He entered, into villages, cities, or the country, they laid the sick in the marketplaces, and begged Him that they might just touch the hem of His garment. And as many as touched Him were made well. I think some pastors may feel that it is not right to get peoples hopes up and their loved ones should die anyway. Well, I feel that we should come to God in faith and leave it up to Him to heal or not: Jonah 3:8But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily to God; yes, let every one turn from his evil way and from the violence that is in his hands. 9Who can tell if God will turn and relent, and turn away from His fierce anger, so that we may not perish?

142 | Does sin cause sickness? | James 5:14 | Pastor Glenn | 145679 | ||
Hello Newoldstock, Mark 2:9 Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and take up thy bed, and walk? Jesus Christ is the remedy for both sin , as well as, for sickness. "How come 5:15 links sins to sickness?" No, it does not. "Does sin cause sickness?" Sometimes. "Does healing sickness also heal sin and visa versa?" No. "And why would James say "if" when all have sinned and continue to sin?" If the sickness was a consequence of sin, then it would be forgiven. Joh 9:1 And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth. Joh 9:2 And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind? Joh 9:3 Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him. Pastor Glenn |

143 | What is a Zionist? | 1 Pet 2:6 | Pastor Glenn | 137851 | ||
jbbound, "A Jewish movement that arose in the late 19th century in response to growing anti-Semitism and sought to reestablish a Jewish homeland in Palestine. Modern Zionism is concerned with the support and development of the state of Israel." http://dictionary.reference.com/ Pastor Glenn |

144 | Is Zionism biblical? | 1 Pet 2:6 | Pastor Glenn | 137857 | ||
Hello jdbound! This is part of what I said in post ID 137828 "Remember too, that before Israel even became a nation during WW II, the Nazis searched them out and destroyed 6 million Jews. This makes the scriptures perfectly clear. Satan hates Jews and Christians. Look at what is happening around the world and compare to Rev chapter 12: Rev 12:12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time. Rev 12:13 And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child. Rev 12:14 And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent. Rev 12:15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood. Rev 12:16 And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth. Rev 12:17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. Notice that Satan hates both the "woman" (Israel), as well as, her seed (Christians). Please check out a video called "Former Muslims Testify About Islam" by going to the following link: http://www.johnankerberg.org/TV/ankjasrm-islam-wmv.html#IPR1 This is a real eye opener. Islam is a Satanic religion that hates Jews and Christians just as Nazism wanted to destroy Jews and Christians before. Even now Christian are being killed in Sudan, Africa! This is the spirit of Anti-Christ: 1John 2:18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time."

145 | wife submitting to ungodly husband | 1 Pet 3:1 | Pastor Glenn | 74918 | ||
coltonjunior, You asked "... Are there any passages that tell a woman what to do or how to act torward her husband, when he is not a godly or christlike man ? " 1 Peter 3 1 Wives, likewise, be submissive to your own husbands, that even if some do not obey the word, they, without a word, may be won by the conduct of their wives, 2when they observe your chaste conduct accompanied by fear. 3Do not let your adornment be merely outward--arranging the hair, wearing gold, or putting on fine apparel-- 4rather let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God. 5For in this manner, in former times, the holy women who trusted in God also adorned themselves, being submissive to their own husbands, 6as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord, whose daughters you are if you do good and are not afraid with any terror. 1 Corinthians 7 10 Now to the married I command, yet not I but the Lord: A wife is not to depart from her husband. 11But even if she does depart, let her remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband. And a husband is not to divorce his wife. 12But to the rest I, not the Lord, say: If any brother has a wife who does not believe, and she is willing to live with him, let him not divorce her. 13And a woman who has a husband who does not believe, if he is willing to live with her, let her not divorce him. 14For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband; otherwise your children would be unclean, but now they are holy. 15But if the unbeliever departs, let him depart; a brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases. But God has called us to peace. 16For how do you know, O wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, O husband, whether you will save your wife? |

146 | Can homosexuals receive salvation? | 1 John 1:9 | Pastor Glenn | 103811 | ||
1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Of course he can still receive God's forgiveness. This is not the unforgivable sin. You should also read the entire Psalm 51. |

147 | Is the "new man" sinless? | 1 John 3:9 | Pastor Glenn | 144310 | ||
Hello MJ Head, "my question is, how could that which is born of God be even capable of sin? " 1 John 3:9 No one who is born of God practices sin, because His seed abides in him; and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. That which is born of God is "spirit". The new man consists only of the spirit of the three part man. We are "spirit", "soul", and physical "body". The natural physical body will sin. It has selfish carnal beastly desires. It cannot be saved. The "soul" must choose daily to walk after the "spirit" because the spirit cannot sin since it has been born of the Holy Spirit. Whenever the soul chooses to walk after the flesh, we sin. On the other hand, whenever the soul chooses to walk after the spirit, we cannot sin. I liken this to choosing to drive one of 2 cars that we may own. The fleshly vehicle will lead to death and destruction. But, the spiritual vehicle (putting on the new man Eph 4:24) leads to life everlasting. Again, this is a daily choice by the believer. I included the scriptures that you cited: 1Jo 1:8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 1Jo 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1Jo 1:10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us. 1Pe 1:23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. Eph 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. Eph 4:24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. Your brother in Christ, Pastor Glenn |

149 | Why this is not taught? | 1 John 3:9 | Pastor Glenn | 144981 | ||
Hello MJH, "The topic of the two natures has been discussed on this forum so much that most don’t want to rehash it again. Type in, (old sin nature) or (new nature), in the search box and click search: you can spend hours reading what the folks on this form understand about the two natures. " CDBJ MJH, I see a lot of posts come up from entering "old sin nature". Have you tried it? I am not sure that, as you say, "nearly all commentators and most pasters do not teach this aspect of the new birth". Your brother in Christ, Pastor Glenn |

150 | Pray Please for Her Soul - Diana | 1 John 4:2 | Pastor Glenn | 156980 | ||
Hello happyandfree, If you haven't already, You should ask your friend why the Jahovah's Witnesses do not focus on this scripture at 1 John 4:2. The name Jehovah is what they like to use to differentiate themselves from other Christians. And because of that, they are not really Christians. Please see my question at ID# 92778. Aren't "Jahovah's" Witnesses anti-Christ or else they would be called "Jesus Christ" Witnesses? Also, since they say that a God of "Love" will not bring everlasting punishment that makes them false prophets: Jer 14 15Therefore thus says the LORD concerning the prophets who prophesy in My name, whom I did not send, and who say, "Sword and famine shall not be in this land'--"By sword and famine those prophets shall be consumed! The focus of the Watchtower and Tract Society on the name "Jehovah" is totally misplaced emphasis. The scriptures already have the emphasis on the name of the Son! Acts 4:12 Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved." The great conspiracy of Satan is really the "spirit of anti-Christ", not "anti-Jehovah". Scripture emphasizes a conspiracy against the Son (Anti-Christ)? 1 John 4 2By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, 3and every spirit that does not confess that[1] Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world. How does the NWT render the above scripture? Also ask her if she agrees that the doctrine of the trinity "does not" teach that God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit are "one person"? However, they are "one God", but also three eternally distinct persons. The bible is clear that there is no other name given among men by which we must be saved. John 3 18"He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. Ask her if she believes that you can be saved by the name Jehovah or by the name of Jesus Christ? Your brother in Christ, Pastor Glenn |

151 | Is it mt 26:60-61 happening today? | 1 John 4:2 | Pastor Glenn | 157143 | ||
Hello deep input, You asked Is Mat 26:60-61 happening today? Yes it is happenning by Anti-Christ groups like the Jehovahs witnesses. I will try to explain. You wrote: “Hello Brother Glenn, I m not currently a member of the Jehovah Witnesses. I have study with them. I have studied with the Mormons. I was baptised as a baptist. I spent many years in a non-denominational church. There are many people who are like the false witnesses spoken of in mt 26:60-61. They say thing about the Jehovah Witnesses that they really dont know any thing about. And, I will say that in all my searching, they are walking closer to the bible than any other group.” Deep impact, please pay close attention to 1 John 4. It tells us who are closer to the bible ways. Ask yourself why it speaks of those that confess that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. Ask yourself why the Son of Man could forgive sins. Ask why He was Lord of the Sabbath. Why would He be allowed to wear the title of “King of Kings and Lord of Lords“. Mat 26:60 But found none: yea, though many false witnesses came, yet found they none. At the last came two false witnesses, Mat 26:61 And said, This fellow said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days. 1. They deny the deity of Christ. The false witnesses of Mat 26:60 are of anti-Christ spirit. The Jehovah’s witnesses are anti-Christ also for the same reason that is spoken of in 1John 4, as well as, 1Cor 12:3. 1Corinthians 12:3 Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost. 2. They also deny the personhood of the Holy Ghost. Why would blasphemy against the Holy Ghost be unpardonable if He is not a person. 3. They deny everlasting punishment of the wicked. “You talked of Jacob seeing God. I read this too. What does John 1:18 mean? Joh 1:18 No man hath seen God at any time, the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him. “…and in acts 7:30 Stephen says that an Angel of the Lord appeared to Moses. Is God also an Angel?” Hebrews 1:5 For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son? Hebrews 1:13 But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool? “Haggar talked with the Angel of the Lord. This Angel had the authority to multiply her descendants exceedingly. (gen 16:7-13) God is spirit John 4:24. As far having eternal security, phil 2:12 tells me to work out my salvation with fear and trembling. If all of our sins past, present and future have already been forgiven, why would we need to confess them has 1 John 1:9 states.” Gen 16:10 And the angel of the LORD said unto her, I will multiply thy seed exceedingly, that it shall not be numbered for multitude. “I believe that the council of Nicea is a major heresy (leaven) that has corrupted the church. Also please see the notes on this web site concerning 1 John 5:7. That teaching comes from the council of nicea and has levened the whole loaf to the point of this verse being added to the Bible and worse people saying it is ok because it is the truth. Is it?” Well, aren’t we commanded to baptize in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost? Do you consider that command a heresy too? Brother Glenn |

153 | How do you find the Lord?? | 1 John 4:7 | Pastor Glenn | 86587 | ||
Redbone, You repent of your sins and ask Jesus Christ into you heart. Then confess Christ with your mouth. Be baptised as part of your public confession in obedience to Christs command. Rom 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Rom 10:14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? Rom 10:15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things! Rom 10:16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report? Rom 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. You will know that you have found Him if you have love for others. He will change you from the inside out. 1Jo 3:14 We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death. 1Jo 3:15 Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him. 1Jo 3:16 Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. 1Jo 3:17 But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him? 1Jo 3:18 My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth. 1Jo 3:19 And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him. 1Jo 3:20 For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things. 1Jo 3:21 Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God. 1Jo 3:22 And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight. 1Jo 3:23 And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment. 1Jo 3:24 And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us. Hope this helps, Pastor Glenn |

154 | Where did evil come from? | 1 John 5:19 | Pastor Glenn | 110812 | ||
wordsmith1970, I wanted to add to the excellent answers that you have already recieved. This is a good question that has been delt with many times on this forum. God could have chosen to make angels and man without choice, but then we would not be able to make any decisions. We would be robots that follow strict preprogrammed instructions. Man has made space vehicles with a small amount of decision making capability. The probes sent to Mars are examples of this. Since remote control is too slow (it takes about 10 minutes for the radio signals to reach Mars) NASA has provided them with programming that allows them to roam the surface and navigate around obstacles. I think that we can learn the importance of free will by looking at our own creations in this way. We will always feel an emptiness until we turn and begin to fulfill our purpose for our existance. Please read the book of Ecclesiastes to learn of the vanity of life. Here is how the book ends: Ecc 12:13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. Ecc 12:14 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil. Pastor Glenn |

156 | Middle East and America in Prophesy | Rev 12:14 | Pastor Glenn | 63221 | ||
Welcome to the forum Chinwe, Rev 12:13 Now when the dragon saw that he had been cast to the earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male Child. 14But the woman was given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness to her place, where she is nourished for a time and times and half a time, from the presence of the serpent. 15So the serpent spewed water out of his mouth like a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away by the flood. 16But the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed up the flood which the dragon had spewed out of his mouth. 17And the dragon was enraged with the woman, and he went to make war with the rest of her offspring, who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.[2] The "...the woman was given two wings of a great eagle..." (verse 14) could represent the USA, since the Eagle is the national symbol. The USA also help Israel become a nation again in their own land after the dragon tried to destroy all Jews in the holocaust. Gen 25:22But the children struggled together within her; and she said, "If all is well, why am I like this?" So she went to inquire of the LORD. 23And the LORD said to her: "Two nations are in your womb, Two peoples shall be separated from your body; One people shall be stronger than the other, And the older shall serve the younger." Some Arabs are descended from Esau, while others are descended from Ishmael. Genesis 17:20 And as for Ishmael, I have heard you. Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly. He shall beget twelve princes, and I will make him a great nation. Hope this helps, Pastor Glenn |
