141 | Explain the Holy Trinity-verysimple form | Numbers | khuck | 103688 | ||
I wholeheartedly agree with you, that The One God is three separate yet united personalities. All in All. I also admit that my example given still falls short of His Being. It is just my most simplistic example of 3 in one :) Good to see you as always, -Kathy |

142 | Question on Matthew 16:28 | Mark 9:1 | khuck | 103685 | ||
***Coffman -Verse 28 Verily I say unto you, There are some of them that stand here, who shall in no wise taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom. Mark's account of this statement is, "Verily I say unto you, there are some here of them that stand by, who shall in no wise taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God come with power" (Mark 9:1). Both the Herald and Christ preached the kingdom as "at hand." The passage here supplemented that information by making it certain to appear during the lives of "some" of the apostles. Why not merely "during their lives?" that is, the lives of all of them? That was because both Judas and Christ would die before the kingdom came. Thus, the words are circumstantially accurate and precise. Incidental to the assertion here, but inherent in it due to the terminology used, is the revelation that the kingdom would not be set up during the personal ministry of Christ, but afterwards. The kingdom did appear on the day of Pentecost, during the lives of "some" of them, just as Jesus had said. The reference to the kingdom in the passage here makes its establishment in the future; but after the day of Pentecost, all references to God's kingdom are in the present tense, speaking of it as a reality, or in the past tense, making it already in existence. See Colossians 1:13; Hebrews 12:28; Revelation 1:9 for examples of this. Remember that the church and the kingdom are one. This chapter brings us to the heart of Matthew's gospel. Christ's deity was recognized and confessed. Satan's effort to thwart the crucifixion was countermanded (even though suggested by Peter), and the cross of Jesus was made central in his holy religion. The outline of the passion and resurrection, as well as a revealing glimpse of the day of judgment, are given by Christ in this portion of his word. This chapter has been called the hub of the gospel of Matthew. *** ***Gil - till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom; which is not to be understood of his personal coming in his kingdom in the last day, when he will judge quick and dead; for it cannot be thought, that any then present should live to that time, but all tasted of death long before, as they have done; for the story of John's being alive, and to live till then, is fabulous, and grounded on a mistake which John himself has rectified at the close of his Gospel: nor of the glorious transfiguration of Christ, the account of which immediately follows; when he was seen by Peter, James, and John, persons now present; for that, at most, was but an emblem and a pledge of his future glory: rather, of the appearance of his kingdom, in greater glory and power, upon his resurrection from the dead, and his ascension to heaven; when the Spirit was poured down in an extraordinary manner, and the Gospel was preached all over the world; was confirmed by signs and wonders, and made effectual to the conversion and salvation of many souls; which many then present lived to see, and were concerned in: though it seems chiefly to have regard to his coming, to show his regal power and authority in the destruction of the Jews; when those his enemies that would not he should reign over them, were ordered to be brought and slain before him; and this the Apostle John, for one, lived to be a witness of. *** -khuck |

143 | Do you seek God, for Guidance | Prov 3:6 | khuck | 103682 | ||
REPOST I asked recently a question that was not meant to be taken as an accusation nor was it facetious, it was meant in all seriousness and to be thought provoking. I actually sought an answer. 1. This post is biblically based and whenever possible, I have included Bible references to support it. 2. This post is not intended as a personal attack on the authority of the Bible or on other users of this forum. 3. This post is not submitted as an effort to foster divisiveness, ill-will, dissension or other disruptions to this forum. 4. I have carefully proofread my post and believe it represents my best efforts. (I include the above forum rules to refute any suspicion that this is a question outside of the guidlelines) Therefore let me rephrase and ask again? Q. Are there any posters who are answering questions on this forum that acknowledge God (not just the resources that we all research) But actually go to Him to seek His wisdom and guidance in the content that you post when giving answers? I really want to know, -khuck |

144 | are we allowed to drink alcohol. | Bible general Archive 2 | khuck | 103675 | ||
There is no prohibition in real terms but many warnings: But one should never be a drunkard. Ephesians 5:18 Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit. 1 Timothy 5:23 Stop drinking only water, and use a little wine because of your stomach and your frequent illnesses. 1 Timothy 3:8 Deacons, likewise, are to be men worthy of respect, sincere, not indulging in much wine, and not pursuing dishonest gain. Proverbs 20:1 Wine is a mocker and beer a brawler; whoever is led astray by them is not wise. Proverbs 31:4 "It is not for kings, O Lemuel- not for kings to drink wine, not for rulers to crave beer, Titus 2:3 Likewise, teach the older women to be reverent in the way they live, not to be slanderers or addicted to much wine, but to teach what is good. Romans 14:1 Accept him whose faith is weak, without passing judgment on disputable matters. 2 One man's faith allows him to eat everything, but another man, whose faith is weak, eats only vegetables. 3 The man who eats everything must not look down on him who does not, and the man who does not eat everything must not condemn the man who does, for God has accepted him. 5 One man considers one day more sacred than another; another man considers every day alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind. 6 He who regards one day as special, does so to the Lord. He who eats meat, eats to the Lord, for he gives thanks to God; and he who abstains, does so to the Lord and gives thanks to God. 19 Let us therefore make every effort to do what leads to peace and to mutual edification. 20 Do not destroy the work of God for the sake of food. All food is clean, but it is wrong for a man to eat anything that causes someone else to stumble. 21 It is better not to eat meat or drink wine or to do anything else that will cause your brother to fall. 22 So whatever you believe about these things keep between yourself and God. Blessed is the man who does not condemn himself by what he approves. 23 But the man who has doubts is condemned if he eats, because his eating is not from faith; and everything that does not come from faith is sin. |

145 | is headcovering valid now? | Bible general Archive 2 | khuck | 103674 | ||
I have always been taught and believe that Paul is referring to the practice of the Corinthian prostitues, who wore their hair very short, and a Christian woman behaving in this same manner would bring shame upon her husband who is also her head. (This is a historical reference.) I have posted this excerpt from the Coffman Commentaries to substantiate my belief. ***With her head unveiled ... The word here rendered "unveiled" is [Greek: akatakaluptos]. "There is no intrinsic meaning in this word which suggests either the covering material or the object covered; it is simply a general word." [Katakaluptos] means covered completely. [Akatakaluptos] means not completely covered. Thus again, the passage falls short of mentioning any kind of garment. To suppose that Paul here meant "mantle" or "veil" or any such thing is to import into this text what is not in it. We have seen that he was speaking of "hair" in 1 Cor. 11:4; and that is exactly what he is speaking of here. "Not completely covered" would then refer to the disgraceful conduct of the Corinthian women in cropping their hair, after the manner of the notorious Corinthian prostitutes; which, if they did it, was exactly the same kind of disgrace as if they had shaved their heads. It is crystal clear that Paul is not speaking of any kind of garment; because he said in 1 Cor. 11:15, below, "For her hair is given her instead of a covering." Only in 1 Cor. 11:15 does Paul mention any kind of garment ([Greek: peribolaion]) and even there he stated that the woman's hair took the place of it. Dishonoreth her head ... Understanding the "unveiled" in the preceding clause as a reference to cropping her hair explains this. Any man's wife adopting the style of the notorious "priestesses" on the Acro Corinthus would bring shame and dishonor upon her "head," that is, her husband, who would thus be scandalized in the conduct of his wife. Also, from this, it is clear that in 1 Cor. 11:4, man's "head," which is Christ, is the one dishonored there. Thus the thing which concerned Paul here was the arrogant adoption of the hairstyle (by women) of the shameless priestesses of Aphrodite. Is there any lesson for modern Christians in this? Indeed there is. Any time that Christian men or women adopt styles, whether of clothing or hair, which are widely accepted as immoral, anti-social, anti-establishment, or in any manner degrading, such actions constitute a violation of what is taught here (by Paul). *** -khuck |

146 | Who should I pray to most--God or Jesus? | Phil 2:10 | khuck | 103673 | ||
Jesus gave the example of how we should pray in Matt 6:9-15. "This, then, is how you should pray: " 'Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins. I personal pray to God The Father, for the above reasons. As I pray I keep in mind that the Lord Jesus said that we ask our petitions in His (Jesus') Name. Yet on the otherhand I believe that it is not wrong to ask things of the Lord Jesus is prayer either: John 14:10-14 Don't you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you are not just my own. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work. Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the miracles themselves. I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it. -khuck |

147 | Explain the Holy Trinity-verysimple form | Numbers | khuck | 103671 | ||
Hi Ms Daisy:) The simplest way that I have ever attempted to explained the Triune God to a new convert is to compare it to myself. I am Kathy the Mother, Daughter and the Niece. I am not my Mother's mother yet I am a mother, I am not my Aunt's daughter but I am a daughter, nor am I my daughter's niece. But I am all of these persons in one being. Each having it's function. That is my most simplistic effort. God bless and keep you in the vineyards, -Kathy |

148 | Are we supposed to observe the Sabbath? | Bible general Archive 2 | khuck | 103670 | ||
Searcher... I stand by my post. And I disagree with you. I have no desire to correct your thinking and I wonder how can you possibly undertake correcting mine? That is a rather arrogant statement. My original intention was to explain why, "I, me, Kathy Huck), choose to worship on Sunday. I used commentary and articles that substantiate my behavior. I will not say that any of these are the final authority, nor will I say that you are. I never mentioned passive active or medium voices. And I have made it clear and now I ask you with every bit of humility within me, let His Peace abide with us. I truly tire of this and I hope you will not think me to be rude if I not respond to anymore comments from you to me regarding this subject. God Bless you, -khuck |

Hello again Searcher. The post was attributed to you and it was sent to me... it only consisted of the rules for posting and no answer to my question. So I assumed you were the sender, since it has your username and does not say Lockman. Are you Lockman? Why was this sent to me via your user ID. I am confused. |

150 | Are we supposed to observe the Sabbath? | Bible general Archive 2 | khuck | 103665 | ||
Dearest Searcher; There is nothing that I have against you, if I did, I would have said as much. My intention was to disprove any notion that because we see a verse or belief differently, does not put YOU or I against our Lord the Christ Jesus, nor does such a circumstance require that we be labelled anti-christ. I would be remiss to let you apologize for something so untrue. You owe me no apology for the reason you submit. Now... let the Peace that surpasses "ALL" understanding abide with you and me. I promise you, I am in Him, _Kathy |

Makarios, With Christ's Love to you, My Dear brother you are preaching to the choir here. I agree that to argue this is a moot point. Your post therefore may be better served to my critics. I answered a question responding, as to why "I" worship on Sundays, and I was labelled to be against Christ. I say worship Him at all times! May we walk in His Peace, -Kathy |

I am here and would never allow you to quit participating in this forum because of my error (a misconception pointed out to me by Aixen) Honestly, there is much good in a forum such as this, and it matters not whether I am here or not. But I have been persuaded to stay and I certainly will, and I sincerely hope you will do the same. God is so VERY Good! -Kathy |

Dearest Joel, Though your apology is very much indeed a beautiful thing to behold, it is not necessary, you did nothing for me to take any heat. I just jumped into the fire feet first (grin) and it is nobody's bad. I would very much like to discuss more with you on this topic Joel. And I think you are correct it is wisest to speak outside this forum (at least for me) I got your email addy from your profile and I will contact you soon. (I have MSN messenger also. Thank you for your patience, Kathy |

I am so very sorry Ed, It is hilarious to me when I am labelled to be against Christ. And I sincerely apologize to anyone who is offended by my assertion. There was no LOL in my original posts (re: Stigmata or Sabbath), I answered the questions and posted commentary, history and articles backing why "I believe as I do", along with my personal beliefs. One of the respondents chose to call me anti christ, and in the stigmata post... neither have bothered to tell me where my post was incorrect, or refute my personal belief. Nor have they conceded that they misread my response, regarding stigmata. Therefore no disrespect to you a loving brother in the Lord, but I personally found it to be ironic and hilarious. If this offended you... I ask again that you will please forgive me and in the future, I will keep my humor to myself. It is NOT my intention to be offensive, and arguementative. God's Peace be upon us -Kathy |

Wow Noble... You have cleared up so much in your post. With the demand put upon me to submit to the 2 posters.. I was under the impression that they were the Moderators and in fact possibly owners of this forum. Sincerely believing this to be true, I figured it would be best to leave the forum without further offending them or other brothers and sisters in Christ. I do not want to come off as if I am compelling anyone to do or say as I do, or to believe as I do. But mostly I do not like to see strife between all of us who share in the Gift of God! Please forgive my misconception as to how this site was run. your friend and sister in Christ, Kathy |

159 | Are we supposed to observe the Sabbath? | Bible general Archive 2 | khuck | 103642 | ||
Examine yourself Searcher, when you call me an anti-christ because I refuse to interpret something as you do. I confess Christ as my Lord and Savior, I preach Christ to inner city teens and young adults as a Youth Minister at Ambassadors for Christ Christian Church, and I am also a founding member and the web designer for Northbound Community Church in Thousand Oaks, CA (see our beliefs and mission at northboundcc.org) In light of these facts if you will say that I am against Christ or anti Christ... then in light of the following verse are you also against Him? Whoever Is Not Against Us Is for Us Mark 9:38 "Teacher," said John, "we saw a man driving out demons in your name and we told him to stop, because he was not one of us." "Do not stop him," Jesus said. "No one who does a miracle in my name can in the next moment say anything bad about me, for whoever is not against us is for us. I tell you the truth, anyone who gives you a cup of water in my name because you belong to Christ will certainly not lose his reward. -khuck |

Dear Hank, Thank you that was food for thought and soul! -Kathy P.S. I know that my responses have not been forth coming. But it is not because I did not heed the advice of those who encourage my participation here. I have actually been on vacation in Oceanside this week (TALK ABOUT FUN!) and have had limited access to the computers available at the resort. God's traveling grace was with me and I have returned home, safe and secure. I'm back :) |
