142 | Quench the Spirit until extinguish? | Gal 5:17 | TheCurtMan | 116493 | ||
Ray, I'm writting this post to you, Flinkywood, New Creature and everyone else who have taken the time to be of assistence. I've read Adam Clark's Commentary, and spoken to some people, and althought I still do not have a clear picture on your use of spirit and Spirit, I have enough of it to see that my perspective was in error. So thanks to everyone who has taken the time to point me in the right direction. The CurtMan |

143 | What can we learn from Christ? | Gal 5:22 | TheCurtMan | 96021 | ||
Brother Hank, Unbeknown to you, you played a small part in helping me to maintain my part-time job, and my integrity. Thank-you. Today I ran into a certain set of circumstances that ruffled my feathers to no end. I had gotten to the point where I was ready to walk off my job. My sudden departure would have left my supervisor in a real sticky situation. I would have been terminated on Monday for Job Abandonment. I had just about made up my mind on my course of action when I suddenly remembered, of all things, this question of yours and my reply. That started a chain reaction in my thinking process. I started thinking more in detail about ‘longsuffering' and ‘patience'. I then started quoting my memory verses, some of which includes; I Cor. 13:1-13, I Cor. 15:57-58, and Col. 3:12-14. By the time I was finished I was able to see more clearly. What I saw was that I allowed the adversary to get me so hot under the collar, I almost jeopardized my part-time job and my christian integrity. God could have used any avenue of things to get my thinking process on the right track, what He decided to use was a question posted by you. The CurtMan |

144 | Justification for non-Christian Living?? | Gal 5:24 | TheCurtMan | 87441 | ||
Thanks for your reply Prazn, Very simply put. I find that alot of times Christians like to use terminology that is only known to us. For those who isn't familar with our terminology, they tend to loose focus of the point. How would you respond to the christian that makes light of this struggle do to the fact that we are suppose to have the Holy Spirit living within us?? Ever encountered the type?? |

145 | Can you be married without love? | Eph 5:22 | TheCurtMan | 87662 | ||
I find that alot of times when people are talking about love in a relationship, they are picturing love from an emotional view-point. Love, true love is more an action then it is an emotion, "Love suffereth long, and is kind. Love envieth not. Love vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, thinketh no evil. Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth. Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. LOVE NEVER FAILETH." I Cor. 13:1-11 A lesson that I've learned from King David is that emotions can be ruled, and trained. A lesson that I've learned from Paul is that before he commanded the women to submitt to the husband in Eph. 5:22, he commanded the couple to submitt to one another in v.21. And the lesson that I've learned from Christian Society is that alot of men tend to overlook the part telling them to submitt to their wives. The sin isn't being married without love, the sin is BEING without love The CurtMan |

146 | Can you divorce a non-christian spouse? | Eph 5:22 | TheCurtMan | 87668 | ||
Hey Jim, Judging from your last three questions, it seems that you need prayer and a shoulder to lean on. If this is true, contact me at TheCurtMan000@AOL.Com. or 202 610-0423. Let's talk. I believe that we should bear one another's burden. The CurtMan |

147 | can a women preach and teach men | 1 Tim 2:12 | TheCurtMan | 85750 | ||
The CurtMan again, There is one other point that I'd like to mention. I've taken this discussion up with women pastors and I find that the overall majority of the time they tell me that what Paul wrote was for that particular time. To me that makes no sense. That tells me that my God is incapable of writing His word in a fashion that crosses the boarders of Culture and Time, plus there is a verse in the bible that indicates that our God is the same today as He was yesterday, and He'll be that way tomorrow and forever. I'll try to get the address on this one for you later. |

148 | can a women preach and teach men | 1 Tim 2:12 | TheCurtMan | 85819 | ||
A person has the ability to choose what he or she believes. There is an ULTIMATE sense of right and wrong. How do we determine what this ULTIMATE since of right and wrong is?? Through the Word of God. The Word of God tends to give a difference between Pastoring and Teaching. The bible does not prohibit a woman from teaching in arenas other than the Pulpit, and difinitly progibits a woman from Pastoring. If you choose to believe a principle contary to Biblical Principles, that is your choice. However; I have read some of the comments to your question and for the most part they all seem to have a common thread, which is, answers based on Biblical Principles. And as far as a Husband and Wife Pastoring Team is concerned, although that woman do have her covering, she is STILL in violation of scripture, and the husband is in violation for allowing it. But just out of curiosity, the word Bishop in 1 Tim. 3 can be translated as Elder; Sheppard; Overseer or Pastor, these are men roles. According to Eph. 4:11, Pastoring is a Spiritual Gift. If the will of the Father is for a Pastor to be a male role, they why would the Holy Spirit give this gift to a women?? |

149 | Pt.1 Female Overseer | 1 Tim 2:12 | TheCurtMan | 86231 | ||
Actually I think that if there are issues with the Word of God, then it should be taken up the The Author, don't you think?? Or at least His Holy Spirit. The bible doesn't mention a womans' authority over a man in the work force, just in the household and in the House of the Lord?? Maybe you should ask The Author why He didn't elaborate a little about the workforce. And please get back with me when you get your answer, because I really do need to know. |

150 | Pt.1 Female Overseer | 1 Tim 2:12 | TheCurtMan | 86341 | ||
First of all I think it is unbiblical to take a 'conditional biblical principle and aply it across the board. One can not say that a woman can never have authority over a man, because like I said, our Father never elaborated on this in the areana of the work field, therefore one can not say it aplies. He was specific in the areana of the household, and Sunday Morning Service. Also, there is a difference between being a Pastor, and being a Teacher, and scripture tells women that they should teach. It implies that they should not teach a man is all. Have you notice that young women today don't know how to be a young woman?? Why is that?? Because they haven't been taught properly that's why. Man isn't the only one in the world that needs to be taught. Teaching for the Woman of God is a commandment. So why get upset over what we can't do and focus on what truely needs to be done. Christians all over this world is falling short of our Heavenly Father's Expectations because our focus is not where it should be, and I'm no exception |

152 | True of False Prophet?? | 2 Timothy | TheCurtMan | 87654 | ||
Now I'm really confused. You're telling me that you are intentionally, with full knowledge, following a False Prophet, just because they teach a doctrine that tickles your fancy?? Then you're going to take this garbage and spread it, not caring who you might infect with it on this website?! Back in the day, you could've gotten stoned to death for spreading unsound doctrine. However; I don't think that you're that thick in the head. I think that you're on joke time with the word of God, in essance, trying to be funny. I think that you're well aware of the fact that the Watchtower is a False Prophet, which is why you're probably not a Witness. But you were at one time wasn't you Truthfinder?? |

153 | Are we ready? | 2 Tim 4:2 | TheCurtMan | 98243 | ||
How might we recognize a comfort zone? Could it be found in our tolerance of sin in our midst? Perhaps complacency? How about routine in our worship or devotional life - might this obscure the small still voice calling us to another place? For me I believe that a Comfort Zone is the inability to be bothered with something that is going to add extra inconveniences and stress to our daily routine. No one really likes to be inconvenienced. Yes; I believe that it can be found in our tolerance of sin. We as Christians are so bombarded by sin on a daily basis, that it nolonger affect us to the degree that it should. Whenever I turn on the news, I listen about the death of someone. At one time where I might have been sadden by the incident, now unless it’s someone I know, it nolonger phases me. I know it’s not right but that’s the way it is. And yes I believe that it can also be through complacency as well as through routine in worship. But I also believe that we are beyond the point of pondering it, we are at the point of taking action, collectively, as one body. Unfortunately this is easier said than done. The CurtMan |

154 | the angels that sinned | 2 Pet 2:4 | TheCurtMan | 96821 | ||
Greetings Makarios, I was wondering if you'd explain something to me, this is a line in your post, "If you are wondering whether God's angels can still "fall" today, the answer is no. Following the massive angelic revolt, God "elected" or permanently confirmed the holiness of the angels who chose to remain loyal to Him (1 Timothy 5:21)." Is this an indication that angles today do not have the freedom of choice that Lucifer and other angles had at one time?? The CurtMan |

155 | the angels that sinned | 2 Pet 2:4 | TheCurtMan | 97368 | ||
Makarios, Good Morning. Sorry it took me so long to respond to you but I’ve had a very interesting weekend. A friend of mind gave me a Dell. V.D.T; C.P.U; Printer, the whole nine yards. I took the system home and sat it in the middle of my Living Room until I was ready for it. Two hours later my ceiling wrapped itself around it. It came down like a ton of bricks. Missed me by maybe four or five inches. I looked at my system, looked in the mirror, then looked at my wife and told her better the computer than me. Praise God I’m able to walk around and joke about it. So now I’m back to square one, systemless. I’ve read the scriptures provided by you to New Creature and I fail to see the basis for this belief, what am I missing?? I’ve always been under the impression that God did not want mindless followers, but those who followed Him by choice, is that not a principle that can be seen in John 3:16 and 18?? Didn’t Isaiah say something like, “choose this day whom you will follow”?? The Lords Prayer in Matt. 6:10 indicate that God’s will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. If His will in Heaven is to strip the angles of their freedom of choice, then why do I wrestle with sin?? This is how I see it. If I’m wrong, you mind showing me my error?? The CurtMan |

156 | the angels that sinned | 2 Pet 2:4 | TheCurtMan | 97449 | ||
Greetings Makarios, I will mediate on the things you've said. Thanks I just can't help but to feel that at one time they had this "Freedom of Choice", misused it, and then had it stripped from them. It's not like God didn't know what was going to happen. That in itself leaves me with a dozen of other questions, like for one: Why give it to them in the first place?? Did all this take place before God called everything in the garden 'good'?? I realize that God's ways are as high above our ways as the Heavens are above the Earth, but that doesn't stop me from having a number of questions. Nevertheless, thanks again. The CurtMan |

157 | were angels saved by works? | 2 Pet 2:4 | TheCurtMan | 97459 | ||
I have a hard time grasping the idea that a third of the heavenly host was inherently liable to rebel while the rest were inherently loyal. (of course I have a similar problem with fallen man). Greetings John, This statement put into words a problem that I had and could not put into words. Thanks. I totally agree with you on this one. The CurtMan |

160 | once save always saved? | Revelation | TheCurtMan | 96594 | ||
Hey Fran1946, Got a question for you. Actually I have a few questions. Is it possible to know the Word of God without it having any perminate effects in our lives?? “You searched the scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; it is these that testify about Me; 40. And you are unwilling to come to Me so that you may have life.” John 5:39-40. Now here’s a group of people that thought that they had eternal life through bible study, but Jesus let them know that was not the case. So is it possible to be aware of the Word of God and it not have a perminate effect in our lives?? If this is possible, then I believe that 2 Peter 2:20-22 is referring to this same type of person. I believe that Peter is speaking of a person who has learned about Christ and how to be saved and has quite possibly been positively influenced by christians. This person has then rejected the truth and returned to his or her sinful state. According to v.21, they are worst of then before, because they have rejected the ONLY way out of sin. How do you interpret John 10:27-29?? “My sheep hear My voice and I know them, and they follow Me; 28 and I give eternal life to them, and they WILL NEVER PERISH; and NO ONE will snatch them out of My hand. 29. My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand.” Now if I’m interpreting your understanding correctly to imply that salvation can be lost, then does it not appear that Jesus has spoken incorrectly in this verse. If we can lose our salvation, the some of us WILL PERISH, and someone HAS plucked us out of the hands of the Father, the individual themselves. It also appears that Romans 8:1, “Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus”, is incorrect. I personally do not believe all this, but if losing one’s salvation is a possibility, then there are a number of scriptures that tends to give misleading indications. What’s your take on all of this?? The CurtMan |
