141 | why does god spouse to commit adultry | Bible general Archive 4 | stjohn | 215741 | ||
Dear Hoppy, Brother, it's a privilege and honor to bring our prayers and supplications to the feet of The Most High God. Hoppy, It indeed is an honor to join you in your prayers. May our gracious Lord keep you in His loving hand, and bring you comfort in your trouble my friend! And may the peace that truly surpasses all human understanding, fill your heart and give you strength to keep the faith in the one who is all sufficient. "Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? Just as it is written, "FOR YOUR SAKE WE ARE BEING PUT TO DEATH ALL DAY LONG; WE WERE CONSIDERED AS SHEEP TO BE SLAUGHTERED." But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 8:35-39 God bless John |

MJH, Yes, I've often found the good folk's at gotquestions.org to be a very reliable source of biblical answers. Just imagine, the beauty we now see in His creation is only a mere shadow of that which will be when He returns to put it aright again. Not to mention the awesomely beautiful sight of, Him that created it! "Our Father who is in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done, On earth as it is in heaven." Matt 6:9b-10 John |

144 | Two literal Bibles, what's different? | Bible general Archive 4 | stjohn | 216158 | ||
Very good info Brother, Makarios. Thanks! I'm happy to know I've got my library in good order. :-) I've also recently got the on-line version of the ESV Study Bible, and I use it just about every day. I've got it in another browser so I open it and have it available to do research while I'm doing study on my main browser. It's got some really great features (including an audio reading of Scripture, so I can listen while I'm working on other stuff) and It's been a wonderful asset, I really like it a lot! John |

146 | The league must be broken | Bible general Archive 4 | stjohn | 216481 | ||
"The Gospel leaves men, unless upon extraordinary occasions, their names, their reputations, their wealth and honors, if lawfully obtained and possessed; but the league that is between the mind and these things in all natural men must be broken. They must be no longer looked upon as the chiefest good or in the place thereof." John Owen |

Dear Makarios, First of all, thanks for the encouragement! It is ironic isn't it? Festus took that which was a positive and good thing, (i.e. Paul's great education) -and though 'we believers' are not to hold these things up as idols- then he (Festus) tried to spin it into something negative. Like so many non-believers today, and indeed, just like I was, they will use some of the most inane logic to make the case for unbelief. Thanks for the great verses too! Very befitting to the subject my friend. John |

149 | How do you know when GOD is talking to y | Bible general Archive 4 | stjohn | 216706 | ||
Dear lionheart, I know you're right, of course. God speaks to us through His Word, "The Bible" but the thrust of this particular question, was: "lots of people will say listen to that quiet voice. But how can you detect that quiet voice, or are you just listening to your own thoughts?" So thats why I answered as I did and not just direct them to God's Word. But, I should probably have made that point as well, because His Word really is the only way we can be, 'one hundred percent sure' that it's God speaking to us. :-) John |

Amen, Azure! That's an excellent and very true point! We must be very careful indeed! Most, if not all charlatans and promulgators of heresy use the Word of God out of context, and twist it to fit their false doctrines. :-( John |

151 | Giving one's life | Bible general Archive 4 | stjohn | 217174 | ||
Dear Doc, Well said, sir, Romans 12:1 at first glance got me to thinking though; that it might not really fit well because it says to offer our bodies as a 'living' sacrifice, and our organs can hardly be physically donated while we are still alive. But on further reflection -if we consider that, by our living promise to donate an organ we extend the life of another, then- it is reasonable. This seems very reasonable indeed. After all, we couldn't make the decision to donate an organ, after we are dead. Which brings me around once again to reflection, and a memory of an old Bible teacher who once said he especially liked the King James version of this verse, because he always thought of God as being so very reasonable. "I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, [which is] your reasonable service." Romans 12:1 KJV John |

Amen, Brother Doc! You make yourself very clear to me most all of the time. Though I'm a bit dense at times, that one didn't get past me either. I wasn't contradicting, or thinking in a different area. Keeping His prepossess in mind, I was simply reasoning in my way, taking a different road and -I'm not talking about the 'narrow road' but metaphorically- coming to the same place. Then just expanding a bit. I guess I didn't make myself very clear. Sorry, I was rambling a bit, and sometimes I think people know what I'm thinking without completely explaining myself. This line of thinking makes me wonder though, just how much we sometimes think we can further His purpose, when He, ultimately, is sovereign. I'm not saying of course, we shouldn't do anything, on the contrary, we should do all we can, and then some. Some things about His mysteries will always just amaze me. John |

Vintage... It's pretty plane to see that this is for all ages. The word of God is active and present in the Scriptures today, just as much as it was alive to those who heard Him speak the words in person two thousand years ago but were spiritually blind and deaf. Plenty of folks today can read the same word of God and not see though they see and not hear though we can read it to them. The Scriptures do not say it was only for that generation, but I think common sense would dictate only that it applied to them at that time. Most of the world at large is spiritually blind and deaf to God's word as we speak... Are you sure you don't want that book? John |

158 | Born under the law of Moses | Bible general Archive 4 | stjohn | 218013 | ||
Hi Alex, You wrote: "Loving God is not exclusive from obeying God. In fact, love is not even first on the list of what the Father expects from His redeemed people, it's in the middle, kind of like a cementing agent for the other 4 "duties" of a saved person." Loving God most certainly is at the top of the list! Please read, Matthew 22:37-38; Mark 12:28-30; and, Luke 10:25-28. John |

Hi Alex, I agree, you are absolutely correct in saying that, but, to say that loving God is not our first and foremost commandment and somewhere in the middle or that; "it is not even first on the list of what the Father expects from His redeemed people" (sic) goes against what Scripture teaches. According to the Scriptures, it cant be either or, or somewhere in the middle. Loving God IS the greatest, first, and foremost commandment. Matthew 22:36-38; "Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?" And He said to him, 'YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND.' This is the great and foremost commandment." Mark 12:28-31; "One of the scribes came and heard them arguing, and recognizing that He had answered them well, asked Him, "What commandment is the foremost of all?" Jesus answered, "The foremost is, 'HEAR, O ISRAEL! THE LORD OUR GOD IS ONE LORD; AND YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND, AND WITH ALL YOUR STRENGTH.' The second is this, 'YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.' There is no other commandment greater than these." And again, Luke 10:25-28; "And a lawyer stood up and put Him to the test, saying, "Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?" And He said to him, "What is written in the Law? How does it read to you?" And he answered, "YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR STRENGTH, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND; AND YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF." And He said to him, "You have answered correctly; DO THIS AND YOU WILL LIVE." John |
