162 | EXPLAIN VERSE 10 IN MARK CHP:5 | Luke 4:34 | prayon | 171834 | ||
Greetings Romanz and welcome to the forum! There are different views as to what this verse means. One view is that they did not want to go back to perdiction from where they came from but that would not be sending them to another country. I believe that the word country should be taken literally. The area that they were in was Gadarenes which was a heathen country where the people did not know God.They wanted to stay in that country because they knew the dispositions and tempers of the people in the area. Their authority and power were great here and they could act with less restraint. They did not want to go to a new place that might of been full of Christians where they would not of had the same authority. prayon | ||||||

Hi Hank - In reading the scenario I think the church was in the wrong. First, it says the "church had a vote and decided that they had to move". Why did it take the church to vote? The preacher should of dealt with the situation. He knew about the situation, Shouldn't he of gone to see both of them on his own without the church forcing him (and to me that seems like what happened) and at least tried to council them instead of saying that their "sin was the number one sin greater even than murder." Where does the bible even say this? Second - "The church did not pray for this couple" - why not? That should of been one of the first things they did - before even contacting him. Third - "no one from the church came to invite the young lady to church". Why not? Possibly because they felt she was not worth it? The preacher did ask the young man to come back to church "but he no longer feels welcome". Why not? Something must of made him feel that way. I just thank God that he didn't do like some would and leave the church but instead found a church that he felt comfortable in. I am not saying that the couple were right - they weren't. Pure and simple they were living in sin. prayon By the way would you please call the rain back over to your side of the country? It is getting ridiculous over here..... |

164 | What do you think? | Luke 6:42 | prayon | 144887 | ||
The thing is that we are to condemn the sin - not the sinner. I think that it is possible to judge that a person is sinning and approach them in a loving manner and still not condemn the person at the same time. Too many times we judge the person as being evil and unworthy because of the sin that they are doing or in. That is why so many people refuse to go to church, etc. In confronting the person I think that it is very important to remember that God loves the person and Jesus gave His life for this person. What else is important to remember is that Satan is a deceiver and this person is being deceived by Satan into believing that he is not commiting a sin. The couple was definitely in the wrong and was living in sin without a doubt. I just have a problem with the way they approached him (read my reply to Hank). prayon |

Greetings EdB, Hank and Searcher sorta said the same thing you did - please read my replies to them. I agree that forgiveness was available to them from God although I have a hunch that it was not available from the church. The "church had not pray for this couple and noone from the church came to invite the young lady to church". How do you welcome someone in the church when you don't even invite them to come? prayon |

Greetings Ed, np using my post - I don't mind. Your statement "Sure people get hurt, and that is a shame but to use it as excuse to justify being out of relationship with God is without support" I don't agree with you 100 percent - 90 percent yes but not 100 percent. I know of someone who loved church - who was raised in the church and loved God. They went to a church and got extremely hurt and offended by the pastor. This pastor (a male) who claimed to be so righteous but yet made a pass at the person I know who is also a male. He felt so violated by this pastor that he did not trust any pastor anymore - which is a shame. It has taken years for this person to go back to church but the whole time he kept up his relationship with God by prayer, Christian music and occationally a bible study that was not a church along with associating with other Christians. It is a horrible fact but there are a few rotten pastors heading churches that are giving most pastors a very bad image. Agape, prayon |

Greetings, I would appreciate it if you would speed up the process of taking the rain. Peopel drive in rain here like southeners drive in the snow - without the common sence God gave them! Last storm they tell me that there were over 300 wrecks! And by the way - since you agreed to take the rain would you mind taking the twisters too? ;o) prayon | ||||||
171 | Who wet Jesus feet with her tears? | Luke 7:44 | prayon | 4038 | ||
Thanks Phil for your input. However the woman can not be Mary, sister of Lazarus. Both incidents did happen in the house of Simon the Pharisee, if Simon the leper and Simon the Pharisee are indeed the same person, but the woman in Luke was a sinner whom the diciples believed was not worthy of touching the feet of Jesus. Mary would never fit into that description. Also Luke says that the women poured a jar of ointment on His feet whereas Mary poured a jar of perfume on Jesus head. One was done early in Jesus' ministry and the other done during the Passover time. | ||||||

I agree. I was the same way. Wouldn't it be nice if we could go back and change some of the things we blew? My grandchildren also come first in my life now, (along with my daughter who is the only one left at home now). Wonder if that is why we are such better grandma's than we are mom's? prayon | ||||||
174 | Can a christian forgive sins? | Luke 11:4 | prayon | 73532 | ||
Greetings, just a note.... We must remember that we can forgive a person for "wronging" us. That releases us from unforgiveness but we can not forgive them for commiting the sin. The only one who can forgive is God and the sinner must go to God himself. We can not do this for him. prayon |

Greetings Pemican, You keep referring to Paul as the writer of Hebrews. Although it is a possibility that Paul did write Hebrews it is doubtful. The epistle itself does not support this claim. The style, vocabulary, and literary characteristics differ from the other books that Paul wrote. In addition, the writer of Hebrews includes himself among those who had received confirmation of Christ's message from others (2:3). Paul states in Galations 1:12 that he received his confirmation directly from God and not from men. Luke is also a possibility, however, Hebrews does not follow his style either. Other possibilities include Barnabas, Silas, Apollos, Phillip, Pricilla, Aquilla, and Clement of Rome. Whoever it was does refer to Timothy as "brother". prayon | ||||||
176 | Destroy Jesus? Why? | Luke 19:47 | prayon | 4017 | ||
Also: The religious leaders were the best known, most powerful, and most respected of all leaders. If you look through out the gospels you will note that Jesus repeatedly rebuked these leaders and made fools of them in front of many. They were unable to ask Him a question that He did not have an answer for that was undebateable. Jesus, also, spoke of them in parables. In the parable of the 2 sons the Jewish leaders are the son who professed to serve but refused to obey. In the parable of the wicked tenants Jesus held them responsible for the nation's fruitlessness before God. In the parable of the King's wedding feast they are condemned because they refuse to honor the King's Son with a responce to His invitation. In Matthew 23:1-8 Jesus warn His followers to do whatever they teach you and follow it but do not do as they do. After exposing their worthless works and base motives He addressed them personally with the 8 woes. Jesus was unmistakenly in their way and they had to be rid of Him. | ||||||

179 | Jesus couldn't of gone up to heaven. | Luke 23:43 | prayon | 64179 | ||
Greetings Ed, I believe that those who have never heard the name Jesus will also go to Abrahams busom. We know that no one can enter the kingdom without first our Lord and Savior. Those who have not heard of Jesus can not be responsible for what they do not know. So I think that these people will be waiting in Abraham's bosum for Jesus to let them know who He is. prayon | ||||||
180 | Jesus couldn't of gone up to heaven. | Luke 23:43 | prayon | 64247 | ||
If I understand you correctly you are saying that there is no one who does not know Jesus? The verse says that God holds all men responsible for what he has shown of himself in creation. These men have had an opportunity to see the clear witness about the character and existance of God through divine revelation. There are a lot of people who know this but have not accepted Jesus, they don't even know there is a Jesus. Those who have accepted the revelation but have not heard the gospel are the ones who will be in Abrahams busom. They will hear of Jesus in Abraham's busom and will then have an opportunity to accept Him at that time. John 14:6 "No one come to the Father except through me". Those who have never heard the gospel have to hear of Jesus or they can't get to the Father. prayon |
