161 | Bible references to child molestation?? | Matt 18:6 | GeorJoy | 92619 | ||
You will find nothing in the bible specifically naming many of lifes sins. However, there are many answers to your question in the word. (KJV) Mat 18:6 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea. Mat 22:39 ... Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. If you follow Mat 22:39 you will harm no one, least of all, a defensive child. George |

162 | Hell not created for man? | Matt 25:41 | GeorJoy | 89787 | ||
Yea, but (how) have you come to this conclusion? Can you back it up with scripture? If not, you may be right, but you could also be wrong. Are you just throwing the dice, or playing with a full house. What if there is a Flush out there? Actually searching333, you have hit the nail on the head. What I am trying to say is; don't trust others to provide (all) your spiritusl nourishment. You could eventually wind up with a bellie ache if you do. Tilling and planting ones own garden is a very rewarding experience. The harvest is so much more desirable than anything anyone else can provide. the more you do it, the better you become. In Love in Christ George |

163 | Hell not created for man? | Matt 25:41 | GeorJoy | 89815 | ||
The Lord (is) the only one who fully knows everything! Some things He has given us to know. Others He has witheld. Still others, He intends for us to seek out. I simply contend that the safest place is "The Word." There is nothing wrong with asking and listening. For; Rom 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. But remember the times in which you live, for; Mat 7:15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. God Bless George |

164 | one pc of silver/one talbet | Matt 26:15 | GeorJoy | 89513 | ||
I don't recall the denomination of the pieces of silver ever having been mentioned, but depending on what they may have been, each was worth about 5 weeks of wages or more. If my math is correct, it would total about 3 years wages. I wonder what he is thinking about those wages right now. Judas'betrayal was part of the devine plan. The Lord knew before creation what Judas would do. Still, my carnal mind can not comprehend how, having known, been taught by and in the very presence of our Lord, Judas could have carried it out. The love of money is the root of all evil! How can anyone today not see this truth!?!?! Seeing, they do not see.... George |

165 | Did John the Baptist eat fruit or bugs? | Mark 1:6 | GeorJoy | 101104 | ||
Lotus' and honey are all that are spoken of in the Word. Beyond that, if I were him, I'd have tried to snare a bird, squirrel, rabbit, billie goat, mule, ass, sheep, camel, anything to get just a little more variety, and some meat in my diet. George |

166 | doubts | Mark 9:24 | GeorJoy | 94878 | ||
I always had doubts concerning my salvation until I read Romans 7:15 for the dozenth time over a period of 30 years. Rom 7:15 For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I. Doubts represent a lack of faith. Knowing the word will strengthen your faith. Rom 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Personally, I was so confused by "hearing" what others had to say about the word that I could have been lost, if I hadn't gotten in to the word for myself. We all have doubts (weak points in faith) Read my profile. God Bless George |

167 | Did Jesus teach hate? | Luke 14:26 | GeorJoy | 101197 | ||
It is all in the translation. Dear soul, if you are really seaking for truth, then keep this great truth in mind. Though diverse passages in scripture may at times seem a contridiction to our unlearned mind, the Holy Bible IS THE WORD OF GOD. It does not contradict itself. THOUGH MANY WILL DISSAGREE, THERE ARE NO ERRORS THEREIN! THE ONLY ERRORS WHERE THE (KJV)BIBLE IS CONCERNED, RESIDE BETWEEN THE EARS OF THOSE WHO DISAGREE. The way we understand a particular passage may make it seem it does err, but it does not. In the passage you quote the word "hate" simply means "to love less." The bible also says to honor thy father and mother, yet there is a passage that states "And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven." I would lovingly suggest that if you are sincere where your screen name is concerned, and that if you never, ever do anything else in your entire life that is worthwile, you do this one thing... (see 2Ti 2:15.) For if you follow this simple instruction, I promice that you will one day be richer than you can now imagine. There are those who seek, but never find. There are those who seek, and due to a lack of knowledge are led to the slaughter. Jesus said, "I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me." Mat 7:7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: What more can be said? In Christ George |

168 | I'm skeptical | Luke 14:26 | GeorJoy | 101365 | ||
Perhaps dear soul, you should consider changing your name. For from the tone of your note, you’re not seeking anything. You are stating! If you are serious, you should consider a "bible teaching" church. "Seek, and ye shall find. State, and you may reveal your ignorance." Ignorance may cause one to wind up in Hades, but in and of itself, ignorance is not a sin, and will not “send” anyone to Hell. Refusal of knowledge; now that’s a different story all together. All are ignorant in many ways. Is it a sin for one to refuse knowledge? No. Is it smart? You have correctly labeled some Christians, for as yourself, where the Word is concerned, many Christians are utterly ignorant with the exception of a few verses they have picked up here and there or, perhaps a passage or two they have half heartedly read or heard someone ignorantly quote. Are those people "ultimately" responsible for the condition of your immortal soul or anyone’s, other than their own? Is it possible that you may have read the verse I suggested? If so, what did it say? I believe it said something about the word “study.” How much of the Word have you “studied?” You may struggle with what “(YOU CALL,) the fact that the Bible cannot be taken at face-value (it doesn't mean what it says).” But, DEAR SOUL, I have got news for you, and anyone else who displays their ignorance by making such a statement; THE Word SAYS WHAT THE LORD MEANS AND MEANS EXACTLY WHAT IT SAYS. Our ignorance of that fact and inability to interpret and apply Gods Word in its (entirety,) is not going to be an excuse when we stand before the judgment seat. Hos 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, Dear soul, do you have any idea where the bible originated, what language or languages it was written in. Do you know anything concerning the interpretation of those languages? It would be a trivial task for even a young child who has regularly attended Sunday school to thoroughly explain the topics you have pointed out. I pray that you are not as you have portrayed in your note, for if you are, you would not listen. Yet there is still hope… For “all have sinned and come short of the Glory of God, and He is not will in that anyone should parish." You; not I nor anyone else, are ultimately responsible for the eternal condition or your immortal soul. seeking4truth, my words may not be easy to swallow. They may stir your anger and wrath. But as medicine and treatment for the mortal body is often painful, so is truth. I’m not investing my time to tell you what you want to hear, or what you may agree with. Through my blessings, I am attempting to bring to light what you say you are seeking. It is now up to you. My prayer for you seeking4truth is that when truth is in front of you, you will recognize it. May His Grace allow your eyes to see, and heart to hear, and may He open your heart to take these strong words in the mending context they are intended. Exhorting In Christ George |

169 | I'm skeptical | Luke 14:26 | GeorJoy | 101370 | ||
Per Matthew Henrys Commentary concerning Mat7:13, Mat7:14. Observe here, 1. The account that is given of the bad way of sin, and the good way of holiness. There are but two ways, right and wrong, good and evil; the way to heaven, and the way to hell; in the one of which we are all of us walking: no middle place hereafter, no middle way now: the distinction of the children of men into saints and sinners, godly and ungodly, will swallow up all to eternity.

170 | George, do you believe? | Luke 14:26 | GeorJoy | 101387 | ||
Tell me friend where the Word says "ALL believers" shall do these things? I have faith. I have yet to cast a mountain into the sea though. But I am not going to let this send my soul to hell! There are many things that scripture speaks of that I personally do not understand. Do you, my friend “have” to understand the Word of God before you can accept it? If so, I should think that you are a very smart person, for I can’t say that I fully understand how the internet works or how voice or pictures are transmitted through wires and the air. I am fairly proficient when it comes to computers, but when it comes to the mechanics thereof, I am ignorant. I am very proficient when it comes to refrigeration. Are you? Do you know how your refrigerator produces cold to maintain your foods and beverages? For that matter, can you tell me how it is that cold keeps food from spoiling or how it is that this computer does what it does? My point is that if understanding came before acceptance, the human race would accept very little…. Then where would the internet be? Where would society itself be? What is the difference? When it comes to the eternal existence of our immortal souls, why are we so stubborn? So foolish? So down right HARD HEADED and utterly STUPID! I don’t claim to know all the answers when it comes to the LIVING Word! What I do know is that it is THE LIVING Word of God! There is no doubt in my mind that it is true! This, my dear friend is called “faith.” Through faith, I have received many answers to questions that I have not even formulated in my mind. Through lifes experiences and some limited biblical study, I have received answers to questions that I asked a lifetime ago. There are many scriptures that I do not understand, but I will tell you this; my Lord has never let me down when it comes to providing an answer to those questions that were the deepest in my heart and soul. Those answers were not always as speedily received as I would have liked them to be, but they always came. You seem to be expecting perfection. For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men. For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: 1Co 1:27 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; When it comes to eternity, one day many will look back and marvel that they were so down right stupid, BUT it is not too late… Give up your stubbornness and read and heed the first verse I recommended. Meanwhile dear soul, look up Websters definition of the word “reprobate” and pray for all who are given over to it. Exhorting in Christ George |

I thank you for your gentle rebuke. However... Dear Brother, if you call this less than gentle, then you don't know harsh, for how can one be a believer if he does not believe in the word of Him whom he profess' belief. This is to call our Savior a liar and to fool ones self. I wonder how many who witnessed Christ speaking to the Scribes and Pharisees thought his statements less than gentle. "But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites... Woe unto you, ye blind guides, which say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets. But woe unto you, Pharisees! Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are as graves which appear not, and the men that walk over them are not aware of them." How many in this forum would come down heavy on another who used such language as this? I make no appologies for striving to live by, witness by, and boldly state the Word in its unleavened form. My prayer is that by His will, grace and guidance we should all strive to thus. Exhorting in Christ George |

Searcher. I do not answer to you. As yourself, I answer to a higher power. Should Lockman agree with you, I am sure they will take appropriate action. Otherwise any who do not want to hear truth should avoid my posts. Prove me wrong with scripture and I will admit fault and cease stating the Word. Otherwise, you might want to consider my words of exortation. "Spare the rod and spoil the child." Are there not a bunch of spoiled brats who have grown to spoiled adults in this generation?

Aixen7z4, yours is a truly a tender and heart warming profile, but compared to yourself; I am as the beggar at the gate. You have the upbringing. I only have the meager necessities. It is my desire to spread what little I have, for like yourself, what I have is greater than the greatest of worldly riches. Yours appears to be a gift of eloquence. Mine is a simple gift of exhortation. One I am still in the process of perfecting. Once perfected, I am sure all will admire my gift as they do yours. The only problem is that by that time neither of our gifts will be necessary, for the race will have been run and our team will have crossed the finish line in Glory. Until then, all I have is what I have. And though I will continue to strive for perfection, I will be content, for I know that He is still working on me. Lovingly in Christ George |

Lord Forgive him! For his words have finally labeled him... Till having read this post, I was not aware of the full extent of truth contained in my previous post to you, dear sole. I reference the note in which I used the word "REPROBATE." Per Mr Webster 1 : to condemn strongly as unworthy, unacceptable, or evil *reprobating the laxity of the age* 2 : to foreordain to damnation 3 : to refuse to accept : REJECT synonyms see CRITICIZE –reprobative \*re-pr*-*b*-tiv\ adjective –reprobatory \-b*-*t*r-*, -*t*r-\ adjective After having read this admission from this individual who desecrate the words "seeking4truth;" any who would now say that I have "crossed the line" should consider where their line lies. For what I have said and quoted to this person, I make no appologies. For the post which contains the words to which I apply this note, does not "seek4truth." It admittedly seeks to twist and distort truth. To those who would feed his flames, I would say; open your eyes. and consider closing your mouth. I will follow my own advise . I ask that all who read would join me in prayer for this poor soul. No profound amount of truth dirrected at such an individual will do anything other than confuse and confound the dirrector. Words dirrected in prayer will accomplish what we can not. It is apparent that what this person calls humility is pure arrogence in a poor disguise! No doubt this will fool many. Exortating in its fullest and in Christ. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. George |

178 | Hebrew idioms? | Luke 14:26 | GeorJoy | 101461 | ||
Please forgive me, my dear friend, but you make it appear as though you are searching for something God alone can provide. Without at least a minute amount of faith, you are not going to see that something when you run head long into it. We Christians are far from perfect. Some are further than others. Still yet, some are so far away that they are only "called" Christians, for lack of calling them what they really are, hypocrites. If you are really searching for truth, don’t depend on others. You can learn from others, but don’t depend on anything but the Spirit for truth, for “all man are liars.” In a confounded way, you remind me of myself many years ago. Perhaps this is why I have come down so hard on you. Every time I have ever reached out to anyone, I have been let down, disgraced and discouraged. I finally realized that there is no one I can depend on other than the Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit. One has to believe in something before he can believe in anything… I noted what you consider the discrepancies in the bible very early in my “pre Christian” life. Even then, I knew that there was much that I did not know. I did not allow those “doubts” to mature. From your posts, you seem to be feeding and nurturing your doubts. Again, I will have to tell you that there MUST be at least a grain of faith before there is a chance. Yet, HE can do anything, and perhaps your time simply hasn’t come yet. Wait patiently. Don’t be discouraged. It took nearly 49 years for me to call myself a Christian, for I knew myself and I refused to become a hypocrite such as those of whom you make note. . READ MY PROFILE.” “poor in spirit” is not what you depicted, and most assuredly not what I was referring to. Wicked and evil would be better suited. Just a thought you may want to consider. The post that I responded to, made it appear as though you were simply looking for fuel for a fire. I am sure you have heard of "the wolf in sheep’s clothing." In Christ George |

Please elaborate Searcher. The post you attach your note to seems to be the post that finally got the point across. Don't hold back my dear brother. Say it like you feel it. But... Please say it with a biblical foundation. For, as is in all my posts, that is the foundation on which I will respond. As to the line you speak of. If I am to be "digitally martyred" in this forum for stating the Word in it's unleavened purity, then I will continue to praise His name, and pray for those who were, and are too blind to see.
