161 | A Private Hot Line to God? | Ps 119:105 | gracefull | 89152 | ||
Tim, you too have been a blessing to me since you joined the forum. Let me encourage you to continue if if the Lord so leads. Although it can be very trying at times, as Essaus once reminded me, "Be not weary in well doing." Let love rule your heart and remember we can only post what we know in our spirit to be true, scatter seed, but the Holy Spirit is the 'revealer'. Continue in prayer for the forum members as well as speaking the truth in love! God bless |

162 | A Private Hot Line to God? | Ps 119:105 | gracefull | 89195 | ||
Ray, that is correct. You have blessed me. The Holy Spirit will lead us in what we say and do, teach, or preach if we are relying on Him to do so. We are not to place our faith in carnal wisdom or other men's teaching alone, otherwise Jesus would not have said what He did in John 14 and 15. I am going away, indeed it is EXPEDIENT Tthat I go because if I do not god, the Comforter wil not come. I will pray the Father and He will send the Holy Spirit to lead you into all truth. Paul states often the what he writes is from God. What he speaks is at the leadership and direction of the Holy Spirit. The teachings of men should be what the Holy Spirit has given them. Otherwise it is most likely mans' interpretation of the Word and not God's actual heart. God bless God bless |

163 | A Private Hot Line to God? | Ps 119:105 | gracefull | 89196 | ||
"Paul's charge to Timothy was to preach the word of God, not what Timothy may have thought he knew in his spirit to be true. The human spirit never has been a reliable guide to religious faith and practice, but the word of God always has been and always will be. --Hank" Hank this is true, thus my point that without spirit to Spirit (Holy Spirit) communication which is the Biblical term 'LIGHT' or revelation of Jesus Christ. SPIRITUALLY DISCERNED is the 'special revelation' being spoken of here. 1 Corinthians 2:13-15 13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 14 But the natural man (carnal, mental dependancy apart from the Holy Spirit)receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he KNOW them, because they are spiritually discerned. 15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.

165 | Touching ok? | Prov 5:19 | gracefull | 79129 | ||
Although I agree that discussions must be kept in context of scripture and one should not be deliberately trying to cause dissension or disruptions on the forum, I must question whether a legitimate discussion of God's commands due to marital relations presented in a discreet context should be an acceptable topic. Now if radioman has the intention of creating chaos here, yes he should be repremanded. However, if he is seeking a sincere discussion of the Biblically sound subject af husband and wife relations, his post does not fit #3 I do realize that the subject of marital relations is extremely sensitive, but as long as the discussion is kept in scriptural context, and modest verbage, this is an excelent place to discuss it. Let's be honest, ANY subject can be offensive to someone and anyone can take any subject and apply #3. If noone is comfortable replying to a question of this sensitive nature, and it did sem that that was the case, then the subject will go dormant. Which is my intention. God bless |

166 | The rod of correction, could it also mea | Prov 20:30 | gracefull | 92343 | ||
Radioman2, Can external discipline truly cleanse the heart? No...so is this speaking of will and actions or thought processes? One might believe that our physical discipline can cleans our sin nature but we know only the new birth enables us to be developed into the divine likeness of Christ from the heart. 2 Peter 1:3-5 3 According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: 4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. 5 And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; What do you think Proverbs means by innermost being? God bless |

167 | The rod of correction, could it also mea | Prov 20:30 | gracefull | 92736 | ||
Radioman2 Thank you for your response. Ypu said.... What do I think Proverbs means by innermost being? I would go with the NLT which translates "innermost being" as "the heart". (heart 5 : "one's innermost character, feelings, or inclinations (knew it in his heart) (a man after my own heart)" [http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary]) I agree. Often I listen for the 'carnal' interpretation people may place on 'spiritual' truths and 'spiritual' truths some place on carnal. in this verse some might interpret it to say physical punishment or discipline can 'save the soul'...some legalists have actually imposed that thinking on their children and the result was child abuse followed by hatred for the God that these children perceive as the 'cause of' their abuse...This is why I felt the need to elaborate on the fact that physical discilpline can correct a child's behaviour..and correct behaviour can lead a child to understanding of good and evil, right and wrong. Correcting the heart does not save the soul, but should lead ont to the place of recognizing and receiving. Matthew 12:34-35 34 O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. 35 A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things. Jesus distinguished between those who could not 'hear' as of their father the devil and those who 'hear' as those of His Father God. It was all a matter of the heart..those who loved God, recognized Jesus, those who despised God, could not recognize Jesus. God bless |

Hello again RJJ, "It is a fact of historic record that man abuses the gifts of God,..." They were doing that at Corinth which prompted Paul to write his letter to 'teach' them concerning the gifts of the Holy Spirit. They were no less true then than now despite Satan's efforts to discredit them, and our immature handling of them. God bless God bless |

172 | Satan can't read minds | Jeremiah | gracefull | 67195 | ||
Hi searcher, I tend to agree that Satan cannot read our minds, but is there scripture somewhere that says he can speak to us? The first thing that comes to mind is Jesus on the mount of temptation. How did Satan communicate with Jesus? Just a thought. On the Holy Spirit putting thoughts in our minds, these scriptures come to mind. Read them and tell me what you think. Mark 13:10-12 And the gospel must first be preached to all nations. But when they arrest you and deliver you up, do not worry beforehand, or premeditate what you will speak. But whatever is given you in that hour, speak that; for it is not you who speak, but the Holy Spirit. John 14:25-27 These things have I spoken to you while being present with you. But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your rememberance all things that I have said to you. In Jesus |

173 | Satan can't read minds | Jeremiah | gracefull | 67271 | ||
I tend to agree that Satan himself is not omnipresent, but I also know from scripture that he has many helpers. I also believe we can't blame every bad thought on demonic forces. John 8:43-44 Why do you not understand My speech? (Jesus speaking) Because you are not able to listen to My word. You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it. Observation-In order for a liar to be a liar he has to have someone to hear his lies. There are numerous scriptures that indicate we are in a war and that we have an actual enemy Satan who (as in the parable of the sower) comes to steal the truth when it is sown. I think it is wise to understand this truth so we can be concious of his deceiving lying self. If we atribute all thoughts to our own reasoning we are less likely to recognize it and bring those thoughts into captivity, but are more likely to sit and reason with them reasoning away the truth sown. Matthew 13:19 If we are not aware to the tactics of our enemy, we are more susceptible to be entraped by him. Do you believe that we are spirit, soul, and body. And that the spiritual rhelm is where our battles are fought? Ephesians 6:11-13 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, agains spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. But we have no reason to fear because He that is in us is greater than he that is in the world. But we must not be ignorant of his devices. 2 Corinthians 2:11 (this is speaking of forgiveness but the word 'devices' tells us there are more than one. Our mind is merely a processor for information. So words spoken to us or impressions from satan that enter the mind are powerless. It is when the are held and enter the heart that they become sin. The mind must be disciplined. Matthew 5:21-30 Sin is a heart matter. The same is true of the Holy Spirit. He speaks to us but if we do not take it to heart (believe) we will not be changed or obey. (From the abundance of the HEART the mouth speaks.) We do not need to fear satan (demons)speaking to us but rather be aware of their deceptive strategies so we do not fall prey to them in ignorance. Becoming familiar with the voice of the Holy spirit's 'voice' will make us more keenly aware of the the devil's 'voice', like black and white. Feed back? God bless! This is what I believe and why. In the love of Jesus, |

174 | A bit of racism; a lot of sarcasm. | Jer 13:23 | gracefull | 82877 | ||
Hi Fred, I disagree on your conclusion here and would like to take a few moments and share why. "Judging by the context of this sentence, the sentences immediately preceding and following this, this is an extremely sarcastic comment." I do not perceive sarcasm...but God rather giving an example of impossibility to compare with man's inability to change his sin nature. We know it is sin nature because one can change sin 'habits' or 'actions' but one cannot change his own heart. "Yes, even a Biblical prophet living 500 years before the birth of Christ showed a hint of racism." I refer you to 2 Timothy 3:16 "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:" Jeremiah 13:12 "Therefore you shall speak to them this word: Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: Every bottle and jar should be filled with wine. [The people] will say to you, Do we not certainly know that every bottle and jar should be filled with wine?..." According to Jeremiah 13:12 the Lord is speaking, not the prophet...so if you are to atribute racism to someone here, it would have to be the author, God. God's intention is clearly stated and I do not believe there was any communication of racism. Galatians 3: 27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise." Although these are New Covenant scriptures, I believe they convey the message that God does not see our culture, our gender or our race, so God could not have made a racist statement. God bless |

janjon...I think we do see where you are coming from with the myouryour thing, but is is not necessary. Jesus is MY Lord and saviour but that does not in any way mean I am saying He is any less yours. Our realationship with Him in the Holy spirit is both personal and general. I do not believe anyone would be offended if you said 'Our'or 'My'. We do see where your heart is, but the excess wording does make the post more difficult to read. God bless God bless |

177 | What does God asks from us ? | Mic 6:8 | gracefull | 93063 | ||
Hank, Wow! We agree on something! It was bound to happen. All joking aside, this truly is the 'missing' link' in believers today, memorizing what others teach and quoting it without the revelation of the Truth in their heart. These 'lessons' lack the annointing and passion of conviction the starving world is looking for. It is not the 'lessons' or 'devotions' that transform us, but the entrance of God's Word that brings light. Psalm 119:130 God bless |

178 | Divine Healing? | Matthew | gracefull | 72423 | ||
Hi Jestified, You are not alone... I had this same conversation with all the same arguments just in the last month on another thread. I almost joined here yesterday but after reading the discussions I realized the same arguments were coming at you that came at me. I will look up that thread # because there was two particular posts that caused me to close the discussion. One post questioned the statement that Isaiah 53 1Peter 2:24 being for both physical healing as well as spiritual. I will not state the response without the exact quote, but it closed the debate for me.(Not because I agreed, but because it conveyed the message that the debate was futile) You have had this same argument. I went back to a simple word study and found the Greek word translated Healed in 1 Peter is the same Greek word as James 5:16 (call for the elders...)and Mark 5:29(the woman healed from the issue of blood) and 1Peter is cross referenced to Isaiah...and the Hebrew word healed in Isaiah 53 means 'to be made whole'.Since we are spirit, soul and body, all three must be healed to be made whole. I too believe that healing was provided through the atonement. God bless |

Hank, Where were you on #64974? So you aree that Jesus went into hell and not just "Paradise" which is the common doctrinal teaching? While I agree he did not have to 'fight it out' I do believe that until He was raised from the fact of total victory was not finalized. 1 Corinthians 15:16-18 God bless |
