141 | Should a divorced person remarry? | Matt 5:31 | GeorJoy | 93007 | ||
Thanks for what I will consider a compliment, for personally, I like onions. They come in various varietys. Some strong, some weak. They tend to add flavor to the stew, and often highlight the dish. Some can't stomach them. Others know just how to take them. Unlike Onions however, figs tend to churn up the stomach and often cause a digestive movement that tends to create a seriously bad smell. With a real rose comes thorns. When one is afraid of getting pricked and removes the thorns, he no longer has a rose bush, and it eventually dies. I see too many "thornless rose gardens." They tend to create the same stinch as does the final movement caused by the fig. Take care George |

Under the circumstances......... And considering previous discussions...... Who knows and who is to say. It almost sounds erie though. I quit trying to figure such things a long time ago. There is no common sense approach to things any more. I sometimes think that my greatest mistakes are in having thought that I was mistaken. "JUST JOKING. I once heard "The Fonze" say that on Happy Days. George |

None interprited. There were no insinuations intended in my response. I simply felt that it rightly discribed what is the general state of mind today. I'm not speaking of the Christian in general. Simply the mind set of many who call themselves Christians and many who are sucked into believing that salvation is without repentance, giving them a "free to sin ticket," and thus the word is deluted to a state of stinch.

Since I was just about to enter my teens. I am nearly over the hill now. The answer to your second questions depends on what you mean by active. I am an active church goer. I strive to let His light shine through me where ever I go and what ever I do. Although I currently attend a Penticostal Church Of God, I consider myself "non denominational." If they preach the Holy Bible, what difference does denomination make? I am an active bible student and have been since my late teens. You have read my profile, haven't you? It is a concise picture of my way of thinking, along with a smidgen of personal history. I am in the process of completing a degree in theology. I have a goal to be in full service of our Lord before I get "over the hill." As I recall, you said you went "over the hill" about 8 years ago. I'm looking forward to seeing if the grass is really greener on the other side. "I'm using the over the hill thing in jest." George |

My friend, you can play your word games all you want. I am not interested in a debate with anyone who, in a botched attempt to display intelligence, pens such a flowery, meaningless use of words, and twisting of scripture, as what is displayed in your post. Eph 5:6 Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. Where scripture is concerned, I know many facts, and one is that your tactics are described therein as well as others I have noted. Col 2:8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, “after the tradition of men,” after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. 1Ti 6:3 If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness; 1Ti 6:4 He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, 1Ti 6:5 Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself. As I have stated in previous posts; “even Satan can quote scripture, when it appears to serve his purpose, and desire.” I thus withdraw myself from any further debate on this particular topic, for I have presented the truth of the word. If anyone will accept it, Praise the Lord, otherwise, Lord forgive them, for they know not what they do. With respectful prayers toward all who have participated and, or read these notes on the topic of a “33 year old ongoing sin” of adultery; “is it justified or no?” Scripture says NO. Scripturally, the marriage was never recognised in the eyes of God from the first day, and though the sinners may have been forgiven, they have by no means been granted a “free to continue in sin” ticket. Like it or not; IT IS THE WORD…. IT IS CALL ED (REPENTANCE,) PEOPLE! REPENTANCE… Once again, per Mr. Webster it means intransitive senses 1 : to "turn from sin" and dedicate oneself to the amendment of one's life 2 a : to feel regret or contrition b : to change one's mind transitive senses 1 : to cause to feel regret or contrition 2 : to feel sorrow, regret, or contrition for –repenter noun R E P E N T A N C E… George |

justme. I am so thankfull you are just you and I am me. Please do not respond to any more of my notes. I will do likewise. Should you choose to ignore this request again, you can expect more of what seems to insult you so much, "undeluted Word." Charlie, my quotes are dirrectly from scripture. My paraphrases are based thereon as well. You have every right to disagree with me, but when I quote scripture dirrectly, and you or anyone disagrees, it is not my place to argue the point. I may attempt to clarify, but some have no desire for clarification. They only desire justification. If I am harsh, forgive me. If I am quoting dirrect scripture and being attacked for doing so, I am going to put it like it is, whether it offends or not. God Bless George |

147 | adultrus marriage, a "marriage" in Gods | Matt 5:31 | GeorJoy | 93114 | ||
Thank you DAIRYLEADER5, but please be careful stating such truths herein. You will become "fair game." Your words will be twisted, even though they may be direct quotes from scripture. Would you say "scripturally" that an adultrus marriage falls in the category of a "marriage" in Gods eyes? George George |

148 | adultrus marriage, a "marriage" in Gods | Matt 5:31 | GeorJoy | 93196 | ||
Thanks Mommapbs for your mature response on this topic. I only reciently discovered the truth of your statement “if the immoral partner chose not to repent I would say that divorce is justified in the word." I can’t remember where it is, but as best I can, I will paraphrase what I can remember of the scripture. “If the unbelieving partner chooses to leave, the believer is not bound.” “(deeply loved, completely forgiven, totally approved, accepted and reconciled as a new creature in Jesus,)” is a fact. However, I will admit that I may be wrong, but it is my stern belief is that “repentance” is an absolute necessity, not an optional choice. And how can one have "repented" if they are cintinuing in the sin? Forgiveness is for past and present sins, not a free ticket to continue in sin or a changing of the fact that a particular sin is a sin. Your note makes me ponder my belief deeply. You asked, “Don't you think that some might use this notion (not a marriage in God's eyes) as an excuse to dishonor the very relationship that God created and affirmed in the Garden?” I don’t know where the relationship that God created and affirmed in the Garden comes into play concerning my statement, for there most assuredly was no adultery therein, however I don’t doubt that not some, but many would use my notion, as they would any other biblical notion, to dishonor anything that God created, particularly His living word. I know that many do it through ignorance, but there is a point where ignorance has to either take the path of knowledge, or remain in their ignorance. I will not bend to their play of words and insistence on spreading their ignorance. Would God reconise a marriage between two men? I am sure there are just as many who will argue that point, for I was also flamed for my notes on homosexuality. If I am not mistaken the major flamer on this post, had some flames to throw therein as well. What is the difference between a homosexual and an adulterer? Are they not both sins against the flesh? As to Hosea 3:1. That took place during the 1st covenant. Christ, you will remember, stated in Mat 5:31 It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement: 32 But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: -----and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.---- As I said in my very first note concerning this subject, “Dear friend, I can not answer your question. Nor can any other man. Many will voice their thoughts, including myself.” It is with deep sorrow and pity that I read the blasphemy and insults heaped upon myself for having quoted scripture and voiced my thoughts on this subject. Perhaps I myself have been overly blunt, but what I have stated is biblical and I therefore make absolutely no apologies. If what I say offends anyone, and it seems that there is at least one in this forum that everything I say offends, I can only say that if I have stated anything that I can not back up with scripture, then I am a liar, otherwise it might be wise of those who disagree to either do some deeper study of the word or simply keep the insinuations to themselves, for though I pray constantly about it, even I am not immune to anger and an occasional improper response. Can’t we agree to disagree? Thanks for your mature response on the point my friend. God Bless George |

Praise the Lord. Thank you newoldstock for your final response. I wish that others could read as well as yourself, for it is evident that you have read and understood my original note which has sparked an inferno of misinterpritations, insinuations, and downright childishness on the part of many respondants. God Bless, and thanks for the study of the word that that your note has generated where I am concerned. George |

I never made such a statement. However, does 2 pluss 2 equal 4? Add it up. ....... If one is living in sin. (pluss) one is forgiven of sin (equals) one does not continue in sins of the past. Forgiveness clenses one of sin. Continued sin dirties. Forgiveness does not come without repentance. Forgiveness does not change the fact that sin is sin. God Bless George |

153 | adultrus marriage, a "marriage" in Gods | Matt 5:31 | GeorJoy | 93208 | ||
Oh Praise His MIGHTY name! And give thanks for those such as yourself. What a testimony! "What GOD hath joined together." I will say that, God has never joined an adulturer together. "man reminds us all the days of our lives." So true. So true. It is our responsibility to spread the Word in it's UNLEAVENED purity. I love the faxcimially thought. I admire you DAIRYLEADER5. Please read my notes concerning this matter and give me your thoughts thereon. My eMail is geobro@pngusa.net Post them if you like, email if you wish. I have been flamed, blasphemen and insulted, yet I hold fast to what I have stated. My only remorse concerning my notes is in the nagging questions below; 1) have I gone too far in standing firm on the Word? 2)Should I have refrained from responding to the one and only one, who simply could not, or would not comprehend the very Word that I quoted?" As it turns out, the originator of this particular topic, (newoldstock)fell in to the category of my 1st note and all is well where he is concerned. But my notes seem to touch the very nerve of one certin individual. I can not for the life of me understand why. I know that I am often blunt. I also know that where the Word is concerned, I can not and will not be swayed. DAIRYLEADER5, your response and comments concerning your observation of my notes in this thread will be very much appreciated. In Christ George |

155 | Spiritual Maturity and Marriage | Matt 6:33 | GeorJoy | 93669 | ||
If they have researched their duties as husband and wife, and they sincerely desire to live and walk in the Spirit, all else will, without a doubt come naturally. They can only strengthen and uplift one another. 1Co 7:3 Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband. The more mature female will, if by example alone, strengthen and guide the male. If she sees where he is failing, and they are mature in Christ, they will be able to discuss such matters. They will also learn to agree to disagree in a Godly fashion. Mat 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. God bless George |

156 | hoping to turn christian soon | Matt 7:14 | GeorJoy | 89261 | ||
There is NOIF; Jesus did die for our sins! Sin remains because many have not accepted His sacrifice. Even those who have accepted still sin because they are mortal and weakin the flesh. (KJV) Mat 26:41 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. "The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak." (GNB)Heb 9:28 In the same manner Christ also was offered in sacrifice once to take away the sins of many. He will appear a second time, not to deal with sin, but to save those who are waiting for him. Save them from what? The tribulation period. (GNB)Gal 3:22 But the scripture says that the whole world is under the power of sin; and so the gift which is promised on the basis of faith in Jesus Christ is given to those who believe. Sin will rein in this worldtill the devil is bound. God will eventually eliminate all sin. UNTIL THAT DAY, OUR ONLY HOPE FOR SALVATION IS HIS SON WHO PAID THE PRICE FOR SIN WHICH IS DEATH...!!!...

158 | Are we to be aware of the "Pharisees and | Matt 16:6 | GeorJoy | 90958 | ||
The Pharisees and Sadducees could commonly be refered to as False Prophets. As to who they are. If they are not teaching the word according "to the letter of the gospel," then that is who they are. Your best defense against them is your personal study of the word, and a "God Ordained" church and Pastor. KJV 2Ti 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. There is a fine line between discernment and judgement. Discernment in my humble opinion is spiritual. Judgement, by man is carnal. If one listens to that "inner voice," gut feeling or whatever they choose to call it; chances are, they won't go wrong. God is not pleased with anyone who does not teach the word in it's purest form. However, as to those individuals, "If anyone should cause one of these little ones to lose his faith in me, it would be better for that person to have a large millstone tied around his neck and be drowned in the deep sea GNB Mat 18:6. By that I do not say that it is not right to paraphrase, or to put in ones own words. As long as the meaning is the same. George |

159 | What is the leaven? | Matt 16:6 | GeorJoy | 90960 | ||
Unleavened bread, (bread without yeast) represents the word of God in it's purest form. Leaven is what man has to add to it. There are many tell tale signs that you ask of. One I consider is when the pastor feels he has to ask for money 3 or 4 times each meeting. Sure it is his job to remind the congrigation of their duty to tythe and give offerings; we occasionally tend to want to forget, but I feel that, if the church is truly doing the Lords work, He will provide for them without them having to beg or make the congrigation feel bad for not having more to give. Stay with the word straight from the bible or the mouth of a man of God, and you won't go wrong. George |
