141 | TATTOOS....yea or nay?? | Bible general Archive 1 | inmyheart | 74242 | ||
EdB, Ed, I don't have the time right now, but I will get back to you. In the mean time, I'm still praying for you and I would appreciate it if you would come in agreement with me in prayer, that The Lord will open the doors, as I go witness to the alcoholics and drug addicts and gang members of the inner city, that there will be those who will respond to The Good News of the Gospel, and recieve Jesus into their lives. See you soon. Grace and Love God bless |

EdB, No matter how lighter your bible may be getting, I'm not saying what you are stating in your post. Debate all you want, but those who want tattoos are gonna get them no matter what. And those who don't want them will most likely always think the idea is too extreme. But, if we’re gonna concern ourselves this much with a topic and exert so much energy let's be most concerned with the Word of God being tattooed on their heart and whether or not their names are tattooed in the Lamb's Book of Life. Anything beyond that just isn’t worth arguing over. And Thank you for your prayer. About three hours on the streets, one young man recieved Jesus into his heart, Rom. 10:9-10. Praise God. God bless |

EdB, My final words again: "One, "man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart." (1 Samuel 16:7, NKJV) Two, the basis of our covenant relationship to God in Christ is based, not upon rules and regulations or dress codes, but upon God's grace, which is received by faith (Ephesians 2:8f.; Titus 3:4-5)." God bless |

gracefull, Thank you for your well written response. Mat 15:8 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with [their] lips; but their heart is far from me. Mat 15:9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching [for] doctrines the commandments of men. Mat 15:10 And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand: Mat 15:11 Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man. God bless |

RIGHT GIVING IS A PART OF RIGHT LIVING. THE LIVING IS NOT RIGHT WHEN THE GIVING IS WRONG. THE GIVING IS WRONG WHEN WE STEAL GOD'S PORTION TO SPEND ON OURSELVES. |

149 | Why pride is the number one sin? | Bible general Archive 1 | inmyheart | 75703 | ||
popo, Here is a long answer to your short question. It was pride that reached out the hand in the Garden to take of the forbidden fruit. It was pride which formed the foundation of the infamous Tower, and pride that laid its every stone, one upon the other. It was pride that moved David to number his troops and to trust in the sword and the chariot rather than in his God. Pride kept the Israelites in the wilderness for forty years. Pride drove Nebuchadnezzar from his throne and deprived him of his sanity. Pride brought the Apostle Peter low. Pride ate the heart of Pilate with worms. Pride crucified the Lord of Glory and brought destruction upon Jerusalem. Rightly does the Scripture declare, "Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall" (Proverbs 16:18). Beware of this consuming cancer; check its spread before it overruns your whole person. Never entertain the thought that perchance you are immune from such a dread disease. Pride is at first a shadow that seeks to elude our notice; it feeds upon ignorance and draws strength from blindness. "[You] do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked" (Revelation 3:17), was the chastisement of Christ against the prideful Laodiceans. Yet, once discovered, pride becomes a roaring beast that will fight its eradication with tooth and claw. Fervent prayer and sweat and tears will prove this adversary not unconquerable. However, neither begin to speculate that, once discovered and strived against, that it has gone into remission and cannot assault you afresh. "...[B]eware of the leaven of the Pharisees...." (Matthew 16:11) "Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith" (2 Corinthians 13:5). Further, examine the standard by which you examine yourself. Is it by the infallible Word of God, or is it by your own sentiments and your own self-love that you judge yourself.? Do not even stop there; examine also your interpretation of the standard of the Word. Is it according to truth, or is it according to your own depravity? Always remain suspicious of yourself, of your own righteous deeds and of your knowledge, yea, of your own humility- too easily you may begin to find your righteousness and knowledge grounds for praise, and your humility itself a source of pride. Maintain a constant mistrust regarding yourself, and never rest upon anything but the mercy of the Father and the Blood of His Son for your justification. Therein lies your only source of hope and assurance. Heed also the words of Jesus Christ: "... [W]hy do you look at the speck in your brother's eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, 'Let me remove the speck from your eye'; and look, a plank is in your own eye? Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye." (Matthew 7:3-5). The intent of our Lord in this passage was not to distinguish between sins or to class them by degrees or magnitude, this one a plank, and that one but a speck. Rather, His exhortation was to make us mindful first of the sin that dwells nearest unto us before we notice that which is afar. What business have you in rebuking your brother and making known his shortcomings, when so great and numerous are your own? The sin that putrefies our own home is to seem to us of more import and ever more odious than that which putrefies our neighbor's home. Though our nostrils, having grown accustomed to the stench in which we ourselves dwell, may often be more sensitive to that to which we are temporarily exposed, we are instructed by Christ to search diligently to find the sin within ourselves before that which is in others. And when we have so discovered one sin, there is yet another that eludes our gaze and must be rooted out. So endless is this task and so consuming this duty, that scarcely have we time to assist our brother in his own search. Pride is quick to see the faults of others but slow to focus upon the faults of the very heart in which it has taken residence. In reading this article, notice how quickly your mind has envisioned someone other than yourself to which these descriptions apply. Notice the exultation that you have begun to feel rise up within your heart in knowing that the prideful man has at last been discovered and exposed publicly. Indeed he has been; he is you: "... [A]ll of you be submissive to one another., and be clothed with humility, for 'God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.' Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time...." (1 Peter 5:5-6) God bless |

150 | Consequences leading by pride. | Bible general Archive 1 | inmyheart | 75973 | ||
There are three ways to destroy Pride, and they must all be taken together: 1) Be grateful to anyone and everyone. Treat even the things people are expected to do as great gifts. Be grateful for your food, your change at Burger King, rain, life itself. Thank everyone. 2) Beg forgiveness of God for the sin of Pride. Go before Him in prayer every day or every few hours and implore His mercy. The more this offends you, the more Pride you have. 3) Ask God for a spirit of Humility and Gratitude. Read Philippians 2:3-11 and imitate it. Understand that without God's Grace, we will never cast away our illusions. Ask God to break your pride and vanity using whatever it takes: illness, loss of friends, loss of family, public humiliation. This is unbelievably difficult to request, and every fiber of our being fights it. We protest it is not fair, or "God doesn't work that way." My friend, what good is health, friends, family, a good reputation, if you have no real love for God, but only a hollow illusion? In the end, all but true love for God is lost, so count all else but God as loss now. For continued reading, the following are a few good books: "Mere Christianity," by C.S. Lewis "New Seeds of Contemplation," by Thomas Merton "The Cost of Discipleship," by Dietrich Bonhoeffer God bless |

152 | Is it wrong to like our bad past? | Bible general Archive 1 | inmyheart | 76433 | ||
Ruth77, Pro 15:21 Folly is joy to him who lacks sense, But a man of understanding walks straight. My testimony was being rebellious, meaning Partying, drinking and using drugs. At the time I was having fun, but now looking back, all I was doing was hurting myself and everyone connected to my life. But thank God for His Grace, I repented of my sins (Rom 3:23). Now the bible says... the thief comes but for to steal, kill and destroy, but Jesus has come that we might have life, and that we might have it more abundantly (John 10:10). I come to find that there was no good in me (Rom.7:18) and the only good that was to come out of me, is what God has put in me (Eph. 2:10)so now I want to please God by doing and knowing His will (Rom. 12:2). One last thought, because I am also learning more and more of God..."Brethern, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, "forgetting those things which are behind", and reaching forth unto those things which are before. Phil.3:13(KJV). God bless you, you have made the best decision of your life. Put all of your life into God's hands, He'll never let you down :) |

153 | When was genesis written? and by who? | Bible general Archive 1 | inmyheart | 76600 | ||
Phil, Actually, there is no clear cut answer to this. Liberal scholars would point to a time about 800 BC, citing stylistic differences and differences in the terms used to refer to God (YHWH vs Elohim), and say that it is actually a compilation by 3 or more individuals. Conservative scholars support the traditional assertion that it was compiled by Moses, citing his level of education, the witness of tradition, and a number of other factors. As for the date of Moses, two different dates have been proposed. One is c. 1200-1400 BC, based, I believe, on the chronology found in the Masoretic text (the Hebrew text edited/assembled by the council of Jamnia c.AD 90?). The other date places him c. 2000 BC based on the chronology found in the Septuagint text (the translation of the Hebrew scriptures into Greek done c. 100 BC). Personally, I would tend to agree with those who hold to a Mosaic authorship. As to the dating, however, I haven't sufficiently researched the matter to form an opinion. I don't believe that the Church has made a definitive statement either way. God bless |

154 | odds of Christ fulfilling every prophecy | Bible general Archive 1 | inmyheart | 79715 | ||
What Are the Odds? "Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me." Words of Christ, John 14:1 NKJV. The below web site will give the answers you are looking for! A number of years ago, Peter W. Stoner and Robert C. Newman wrote a book entitled Science Speaks. The book was based on the science of probability and vouched for by the American Scientific Affiliation. It set out the odds of any one man in all of history fulfilling even only eight of the 60 major prophecies (and 270 ramifications) fulfilled by the life of Christ. The probability that Jesus of Nazareth could have fulfilled even eight such prophecies would be only 1 in 1017. That's 1 in 100, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000. Stoner claims that that many silver dollars would be enough to cover the face of the entire state of Texas two feet deep. Now I've been to Texas. I've driven for days to get across Texas. Texas is a very big state. Who in his right mind would suppose that a blindfolded man, heading out of Dallas by foot in any direction, would be able, on his very first attempt, to pick up one specifically marked silver dollar out of 100, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000? :) http://members.aol.com/_ht_a/walliancec/theodds.htm God Bless |

156 | where does sickness come from | Bible general Archive 1 | inmyheart | 81231 | ||
biblehappy, Gen 1:26 "Then God said, 'Let us make man in our image, in our likeness.'" God created us on the sixth day of creation. He created us in his image, giving us dominion of this whole planet. If we believe that God gave us sickness as well, then He is subject to it too, as we are created to His image! Gen 1:31 "God saw all that he had made, and it was very good." Notice the words "very good". Some teach that God wants people to have sicknesses, depression and pain in order to them some spiritual truths. If this is true, why did God not give this teaching tool to Adam and Eve? Fair is fair! Instead we notice that they were created "very good". He even goes further by giving them directions what to eat in order to stay healthy. Gen 1:29-30 "Then God said, 'I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food.'" No, disease and sicknesses was not God's plan for humanity at creation! If you are burdened by a sickness or you have a loved one who is suffering, look up to and trust in the Lord. There will be an end to this. This is not God's design! Let us join the apostle John and say Rev 22:20 "Amen. Come, Lord Jesus." God Bless |
