141 | Is Bankruptcy Stealing? | Ps 15:1 | gracefull | 78329 | ||
I was there once and God taught me this way. The lesson was very painful, but the reward of obedience has been very great. I found joy and liberty and peace through obedience and personal honesty. Psalm 15 Adonai, who can rest in Your tent? Who can live on Your holy mountain? Those who live a blameless life, who behave uprightly, who speak the truth in their hearts and keep their tongues from slander; who never do harm to others or seek to discredit neighbors; who look with scorn on the vile, but honour those who fear Adonai;WHO HOLD AN OATH, NO MATTER WHAT THE COST; who refuse usury when they lend money and refuse a bribe to damage the innocent. THOSE WHO DO THESE THINGS WIL NEVER BE MOVED. And as you said: Romans 13:8 Owe no man but to love him. Two major lessons can be found in your delima.. 1. A very important eternal spiritual truth is to be learned here. We will never trust the faithfulness of God until we overcome our human nature which is to be unfaithful. 2. Blaming others for our bad choices is a sure way to remain in trouble..IE "This particular credit card creditor charged an unreasonable and unfair amount of interest..".No one forced you to accept or use the card and creditors are required by law to reveal their interest rates up front. the time to make the decision that the rates were to high was BEFORE you committed. The verse in Psalms says the person who swears an oath (your word, signature is an oath) to his own hurt but does not back away learns the price of faithfulness and the reward. I suggest you take all your debt, (actual bills or a list of everything) and place them on the alter (humble yourself before God and repent for you poor stewardship of His provision, and comit to honour your oaths no matter what the cost..second job, third job, self sacrifice. Ask Him for wisdom on how to do this and for the strength to carry you to the end of your committments. If your heart is sincere, God will give you joy and peace as you pay off your debt. The joy wil come from the Holy Spirit. Thus the promise of Psalm 15 You will rest in His tent, find rest on His holy mountain and you will not be moved. You wil become faithful and solid and the enemy will not have any place. If you take the unloving way out, you will find yourself facing more situations of unfaithfulness. Now is a real good time to put your hand to the plow and do what is right. P.S. There are several good nonprofit organizations that will help you by working with the creditors to lower their rates, but the best way would be to just buckle down and handle it. Anything that eases the pain tends to weaken the lesson, and increase thr posibility that you will do it again. God bless! |

142 | Jesus' Physical Description | Rev 1:12 | gracefull | 77983 | ||

143 | Divorce | 1 Thess 4:3 | gracefull | 77487 | ||
Searcher is correct. Scripture requires you stay married, But I suggest you look beyond the requirements. Jesus taught on numerous occasions that the highest form of love is to give ones self for another. Look beyond what is 'required' because if one is married outwardly but rebellious or resentful in the heart, God will have much difficulty in reaching the spouse, (and indeed the believing spouse is in sin as well). One is not submitted to God who obeys outwardly but when one obeys from a heart of love and trust. He desires to reach the spouse, to demonstrate His love through the believing spouse. (sanctified by the wife) We as believers should submit to the LOVE of God while walking in the commands of God. In this can the miraculous working power of the Holy Spirit produce a Godly marriage, rather than a marriage of suffering. God bless P.S. I do not suggest one stays in a physically abusive situation, but in seperating, continue to believe God to turn the spouse around. |

144 | Why couldn't Herod have Herodias? | Mark 6:18 | gracefull | 77483 | ||
Sister-in-law. He was in an adulterous (thus unlawful0 relationship and John called them on it. Herodias was so convicted that she wanted to silence the voice she thought was bringing the conviction. God bless |

145 | Praying in tongues? | 1 Cor 14:1 | gracefull | 76811 | ||
Hi Sarah, Yes indeed and this seems to be the pitfall of most discussions. Many can't recognize the difference and try to group both under gift and then state that 'all do not have the gift'. Tongues os a supernatural manifestaion of the Holy Spirit in the life of the believer (who accepts by faith)in which the Holy Spirit prays for and through the believer. Paul said 'I pray with the Spirit and I pray with the understanding. I sing with the Spirit and I sing with the understanding also.'(available to all) But he also speaks of speaking in the congregation aloud, the GIFT, and having the GIFT of interpretation. This is the Holy Spirit speaking to the body for it's edification.(given at administered at the discretion fo the Holy Spirit) Does this help? God bless |

146 | John15:18-25 | 1 Pet 3:15 | gracefull | 76774 | ||
Since the goal is to draw them from the authority of Satan, we should be examples of God's grace. We need to show them the way out, not go in with them. We are 'scattering seed' God gives the increase. What seed? the truth of God's Word in both our words and our actions. God is searching for those who want out of the world's bondage. This does not mean isolating ourselves, because we could not be a witness that way, but we are not to conform to their way of thinking and acting. We are to demonstrate Jesus in all our affairs. God bless |

147 | Does red calf born 3-02 have any meaning | 2 Thess 1:1 | gracefull | 76352 | ||
www.templeinstitue.com has an article. Apparently this is a kosher acceptible sacrifice. There are Orthodox Jews who have been accumilating all the various artivacts necessary to use in the new temple when it is built. The birth of a acceptable sacrifice 'could' point more to end of time prophesy regarding the rebuilding of this temple where the antichrist will stand up and proclaim himself to be God. Pre Trib believers believe this will take place in mid tribulation and that the temple will be built in the first 3 and 1/2 years of the tribulation. Go into Yahoo and type 'red heifer' in keyword..there is an abundance of info out there. A Jewish teacher at visiting our church said it was not actually born in Israel, but I do not have facts for this. God bless |

149 | Searching for the truth | Heb 1:2 | gracefull | 76190 | ||
Hebrews 7:22 Also this shows a better covenant of which Yeshua has become guarantor. Hebrews 8:6 But now the work Yeshua has been given to do is far superior to theirs, just as the covenant He mediates is better. Hebrews 10 16 " 'This is the covenant which I will make with them after those days,' says ADONAI: 'I will put my Torah(law) on their hearts, and write it on their minds...'" God is not mad at us, He did everything in the Old Covenant to bring about this better New Covenant. What the Old Testament saints would have given to have the Spirit of God in them leading them personally! God has not taken away what is better, but has provided what is better. Ask Him to show you this in your spirit. |

150 | Searching for the truth | Heb 2:4 | gracefull | 76009 | ||
Robert, there are those with other gifts, prophetic, discernment, healing, word of knowledge, etc. however since they are not as 'noticeable' believers, media, critics, don't pay them much attention. Tongues is very visable and receives the most criticism. When the Holy Spirit gives a word of knowledge it is usually between the gifted person and an individual. Example...Someone I know was at a restaurant when the Holy Spirit told this person to go to a complete stranger at another table and tell them the intense prayer of their heart was about to be fulfilled, and to not lose hope. A few weeks later we were all invited to a 'singing' by a visitor to our church so we went. While we were there a lady came hurrying up to us and told her husband.."This is the lady from the restaurant! The one who told me God was going to answer my prayer." Then she turned to my friend and said that God had indeed answered her prayer for a lost uncle she had been interceeding for. Did the world see? Was the church involved? No, but the gift was present. Though many speak in tongues, not that many have the Gift of tongues. But all can have the prayer language which is really what most are seeking. AGAIN the GIFT of tongues for the edification of the body is different from the personal prayer language available to every believer. One MUST seperate the two. 1 Corinthians 12:10 Gift for the edification of the body 1 Corinthians 14:12-14 Prayer language also, the Holy Spirit chooses who receives what gifts, and places it on the heart of the believer. If I desire a gift for personal glory, God did not place that desire in my heart and will not give me the gift. He choose who receives what gifts and When He wants them to manifest. God bless |

151 | What is the sign of the prophet Jonah? | Matt 12:39 | gracefull | 75567 | ||
Hi Malspa The resurrection took place after Jesus was 3 days in the heart of the earth as Jonah was 3 days in the whale. Jesus was dead 3 days then raised from the dead by God confirming Him as the righteous saviour and confirming Him as God. Also see Ephesians 4:8-10 Does that help? God bless |

153 | Why do people fast? | Judg 20:26 | gracefull | 75460 | ||
Isaiah 58 is an excellent discourse on fasting. One can fast anything. To fast something that is hindering your walk, TV, sports, whatever we love that needs to be disciplined in our life, and to bring our flesh into submission, and that time should be spent with the Lord in prayer and the Word. Isaiah 58 explains what God considers an acceptable fast and also states the benefits of such a fast. God bless |

154 | Does this include holding fast to His | Heb 4:14 | gracefull | 75439 | ||
Since healing was provided in and through the atonement, our confession of faith in Jesus finished work, slavation, healing, deliverance mean holding to the truth of the word of God through faith in Jesus finished work. He was wounded for our transgressions, bruised for our iniquities, the chastisement needful to obtain our peace was upon Him and by His stripes we were healed. Read on through verse 15 and 16. Because we have this High Priest, let us fearlessly and boldly approach the throne of grace...As God Meditate in the truth of the word, and stand fast! God bless |

155 | Why does Psalm 82:6 say we are gods? | John 10:34 | gracefull | 75350 | ||
Man is the only created being created in the image and likeness of God. God is a Spirit and we are spirit beings. We are . We are triune beings. Spirit, with a soul and live in a body. Now from the Mormon perspective I may be wrong but I believe they think they are 'evolving?' due to their 'good works?'Purhaps someone else here is more knowledgeable on that religion. Gd bless, |

156 | Why seek healing for this flesh? | Phil 1:2 | gracefull | 75306 | ||
But to remain in the fleshnis nore necessary for you. Since I am convinced of this, I know that I will remain and continue with all of you for your progress and joy in faith. With joyfull expectation we desire to be with the Lord. But if your work is not done love will restrain you to stay. Love will restrain you to be healed to continue your work. I am convinced that we have a choice and your post seems to indicate that you too belive there is a choice. I suggest you ask the Lord is there more work to do. Something I frimly believe, we all must go by way of the grave unless the rapture takes place, but I personally do not believe it has to be through sickness. I believe NO sickness or disease is from God. God bless you, If it is time and your work is done, I ENVY YOU in a Godly manner! |

158 | The "DIVINE ORDER" ? | 1 Cor 1:1 | gracefull | 75121 | ||
Actually it is Christ over all, man over household, including children. Unfortunately in our culture women are the primary disciplinarians. Women should 'enforce' but the children should know the father is the final authority. There can only be one HEAD in a household and in the kingdom of God. 1 Corinthians 11:3 1 Timothy 3:4 Ephesians 5:23 Mark 3:25 |

159 | not sober, people | Ps 3:1 | gracefull | 75057 | ||
There are probably millions of Christians who are still in bondage to something. You must remember that we are saved through faith in Jesus Christ as savior, not works. Also keep in mind that our ONLY righteousness is Jesus' righteousness provided as a free gift. We as humans are not in a position to judge another's salvation. I suggest if you know someone that you pray for them that if they are not saved, God would convict and bring them to repentance. And if they are saved, that God would reveal to them that He has provided deliverance for the addictions. Worrying about the salvation of another (or worrying about anything for that matter) is fruitless. Prayer is powerful! I hope I answerd your question. The fact is noone can give you assurance of the salvation of anyone! When in doubt PRAY! If you love them PRAY! Prayer is powerful! God bless |
