Thank you for clarifying that. Now to your post. One of the most puzzling questions for a lot of Christians is how are we to understand 1st Peter 3:18 where it says that by Christ's death and his resurrection (being made alive), He went and preached unto the spirits in prison. There are many who theorize unrighteously that these verses speak of a purgatory, or some spirit-world of the imprisoned lost. This is totally contrary to all that scripture declares. The Bible is perfectly clear that whatever spiritual condition a person dies in, whether Saved or unsaved, is the condition that he will stand before God in judgement. There is no possibility for a second chance at redemption after death. Hebrews 9:27 "And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:" Once man dies, his chance for redemption is over. We are judged for what we do in this world, and we receive Salvation by Christ in this world, not the next. In the Parable of Lazarus, Jesus makes it clear that there is a great gulf fixed (luke 16:26) where one cannot pass from one side to the other. If we die unsaved, that is the condition which we will remain in. In this brief study we will take a careful look at these verses and let the Holy Spirit of God reveal his truth to us. For in all honesty, no one else can. 1st Peter 3:18-20 "For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but made alive by the Spirit: by which also He went and preached unto the saints in prison; which sometimes were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the Ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water." These are indeed difficult passages, but we can begin to come to an understanding of what they mean when we follow what it says "in the light of the rest of scripture," with no preconceived ideas about it. Remember, the Bible was not of any private interpretation of the Saints of old, nor is it subject to our private interpretation today. 2nd Peter 1:20-21 "Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. "For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost." Every Word is inspired of God, and thus cannot be subject to man's personal interpretation by what seems right in his own eyes. God's Word is it's own interpreter. It cannot be led or guided, it must be followed and received. Only through the Holy Spirit and the careful comparing of (and study in) scriptures, will we ever come to the true understanding of what it truly says. I believe that if we do this, we will find that what it says in this chapter is that that by Christ's death in the flesh and being made alive in the Spirit, He went and preached to the spirits in prison. With these humble beginnings, it is now a matter of defining "biblical terms". As you see there is no short answer. Let me know if this is what you are seeking. God bless |

Raidoman2, You judge and attack men of God and then you push your recommended web site? I went to Kenneth Copeland's web site and this is his mission statement: The mission of Kenneth Copeland Ministries and Eagle Mountain International Church is to teach Christians worldwide who they are in Christ Jesus and how to live a victorious life in their covenant rights and privileges. The fulfillment of that mission takes place when those believers become rooted and grounded enough in God's Word to reach out and teach others these same principles. We are called to lead people, primarily born-again believers, to the place where they operate proficiently in the biblical principles of faith, love, healing, prosperity, redemption and righteousness, and to the place where they can share those principles with others. We are called to assist believers in becoming rooted, grounded and established in the Word of God by teaching them to give God's Word first place in their lives (Colossians 1:23, Psalm 112). We are called to reveal the mysteries, the victorious revelations of God's Word, that have been hidden from the ages (Colossians 1:25-28). We are called to build an army of mature believers, bringing them from milk to meat, from religion to reality. We are called to train them to become skillful in the word of righteousness, to stand firm in the spiritual warfare against the kingdom of darkness (Hebrews 5:12-14, Ephesians 6:10-18). We are called to proclaim that "Jesus Is Lord" from the top of the world to the bottom and all the way around.The vision is being accomplished through the ministry efforts of Kenneth Copeland Ministries, Eagle Mountain International Church and staff on a worldwide scale through the local church and the use of television, campaigns, conventions, books, tapes, recordings and personal correspondence and is multiplied through the financial support of other ministries of like purpose. Before you continue your campaign to discourage others, why not read what Kenneth has to say, here is his site; http://www.kcm.org/ God bless |

Hank-- I was out of town for ten days and I come back to this thread. Can you believe what has happened here? So let me sum this up, you don't love Kenneth Copeland! (to put it mildly), Oh well, it still doesn't change the fact that Kenneth is a brother, he has Christ in his life and the blood of Christ has set him free, just as Christ has set you and me free. Since this thread has been restricted, I'll look forward to interact with you, in a Christian spirit, with respect and grace at another time. I look forward to the day when these ridiculous attacks and with lies, half-truths, misrepresentations and insults being used as the primary weapons will cease. When the body of Christ can come together on one accord we will then be able to collectively defeat our common enemy, Satan. God bless 1 Corinthians 2:5 |

graceful, Thank you for your reply. 1 John 4:1 says that we are not to believe every spirit, but to test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world, it amaze me that other members on this forum (I'll get a lot of feed back on this one) don't know how to test every spirit. In the next verse (2) says how to test the spirits, "This is how you can recongnize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God"...you and I acknowledge Jesus in our lives, don't they recongnize this, so what's up with that? Just because they don't love us, doesn't mean we don't love them, amen! I believe in ALL the promises of God, they are "YES" in Christ. And so through him the "Amen" is spoken by us to the glory of God. Now it is God who makes both us and you stand firm in Christ. He anointed us, set His seal of ownership on us and put His Spirit in our hearts as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come. 2Cor.1:20-22. Graceful, thank you again, it's a pleasure. I close with 1 Cor. 15:57-58 "But thanks be to God! He give us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my dear bothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that you labor in the Lord is not in vain." God bless |

mmmsm, If You Have Already Gone Too Far, Why Stop? God is forgiving. 1 John 1:9 tells us that God is faithful and just to forgive our sins if we confess them. You can start fresh with God anytime you want to. God is holy. His word tells us that sexual sin is wrong, and He knows what is best. God is caring. God knows that going too far before marriage tends to break up couples and leads to less happy marriages. He knows that most guys do not want to marry a girl who has been intimate with someone else.

170 | John 5:24-25, Verily, Verily I say unto | Bible general Archive 1 | inmyheart | 83236 | ||
mallen, It is a sad, sad shame that Jesus isn’t recognized enough in the world that He could just say, "Verily," and everybody would listen. But when the Lord wants our attention, He is willing to become like a nobody in order to try to grab hold of our minds, so He says, "Verily, verily…." Back in the Old Testament when God wanted Abraham to do something, He said, "Abraham, Abraham." When God wanted Jacob, He said, "Jacob, Jacob." In the book of I Samuel, chapter 3, the Lord spoke to little Samuel: "Samuel, Samuel." When He spoke to Saul on the road to Damascus, He said, "Saul, Saul." When He spoke to Simon Peter in Luke 22, He said, "Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: But I have prayed for thee." When Jesus hung on the cross of Calvary, He cried out, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" He says to us, "Verily, verily: What I am about to say is doubly important." He is trying to get our attention, like blowing a horn or tapping on a glass. You have noticed that over public address systems at some places, like hospitals, any announcement is always repeated.

171 | Where is eden located? | Bible general Archive 1 | inmyheart | 83301 | ||
Alan0229, Over the years, many have claimed the Garden of Eden has been found. Of course the location of each "discovery" is in a different location. The Bible describes the area around the Garden in Genesis 2, even using recognizable place names such as Ethiopia. It mentions a spring in the Garden which parts into four major rivers, including the Euphrates. This has led many, including Bible scholars, to conclude that the Garden of Eden was somewhere in the middle eastern area known today as the Tigris-Euphrates River Valley, with its remains long ago vanishing. It is also true that this area (the "fertile crescent") was the location of the ancient Tower of Babel and the patriarch Abraham's home in the city of Ur. Without a doubt, the Tigris-Euphrates River Valley plays a unique role in Biblical history, but was it the location of the Garden of Eden? I think not. First, let's examine the Biblical information. While the Tigres and Euphrates both have their headwaters in the area surrounding Mt. Ararat, they do not flow from a source like the spokes on a wheel, filling the land as mentioned. Nor are the other two rivers present and none go to Ethiopia. Furthermore, the mineral deposits mentioned bear no resemblance to those in this area. In short, the geography and descriptions don't match. The key is in recognizing that through the Flood of Noah's day, "the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished" (II Peter 3:6). As described in Genesis 6-9, the Flood would have totally restructured the surface of the globe. It would have done what major floods do—erode the land surface in one area and redeposit those sediments elsewhere. Biblically, the Flood covered the planet with processes operating at rates, scales, and intensities far beyond those possible today. No place on Earth could have survived untouched. These sediments would have been full of organic debris, which over time would either fossilize or metamorphose into oil and gas. The sediments would harden into sedimentary rock, in places bending into mountains or breaking along fault systems. Today, the Tigris-Euphrates River Valley contains sediments over two miles thick, from which are pumped enormous quantities of oil and gas. The sediments, now rock, are dramatically bent into modern mountains as well as subsurface mountains, and brutally broken by major fault systems. They deeply cover and obscure any possible pre-flood locations. Furthermore, the basement rock, if indeed it was present before the Flood, would have likely undergone erosion also. No present topography or underground surface could possibly bear any resemblance to the pre-flood world. That world is gone! Noah and his family would have encountered the present-day Tigris and Euphrates Rivers soon after leaving the Ark. As their descendants migrated, they would give familiar names to the new rivers and places. God placed an angel at the entrance to the Garden to keep pre-flood men from returning. The Flood made even that precaution unnecessary. by John D. Morris, Ph.D. © Copyright 2002 Institute for Creation Research. All Rights Reserved. God Bless |

Justme You stated to Imf, "I believe God wants me to be a wise steward, and live simply. We strive to be simple and with that there is a joy and an abundance of all we need. I keep saying this but it bares repeating, there is a big difference in needs and wants." Simply saying, it not about striving to be simple, so that we can have joy and abundance of all we need, how about the needs of others? If we are going to extend our hands to others in need, don't you agree we need more than enough? I'm not speaking of being greedy, we need the wisdom of God to handle the wealth of God! My point is, God has His people in the valley's and at the top of the hill, but we all have a higher standard of living, than those of the world. "Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen. Eph.3:20-21 (NIV) |

174 | How do I answer my children? | Bible general Archive 1 | inmyheart | 84072 | ||
Greetings You stated "If a person believes that Jesus is our Savior but is obnoxious do they go to heaven, but a person who takes great care of family and little children and does good works all day long for the school, library and comunity but does not believe....is going to hell? How must I answer my children? They say that penicillin is a wonder drug, a great antibiotic, but if you have cancer, it is worthless! You can be the best person in the community, but without Jesus, His sacrifice and shedding of His blood, that person is a lost soul. However, that drunk or that drug addicted person who ripped and robbed everyone they met and were the scum of the earth, when that person responded to the call of the Lord and recieved Jesus as Lord and Savior...their sins, though many...are forgiven and their names are written in the book of life! Also John 3:5-7 How must I answer my children you say...how about through your actions, your testimony, your love and prayers for them, that's one way of doing it. "For the unbelieving husband has been sanctified through his wife, and the unbelieving wife has been sanctified through her believing husband. Otherwise your childre would be unclean, but as it is, the are holy." 1 Corinthians 7:14 God bless you, He really loves you and He will be faithful to your prayers. You do what you can and He will do what you can't do. God bless |

Matthew 15:1:1 "Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man." Matthew 15:17-20: "Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught? 18 But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man. 19 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies: 20 These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man." Jesus taught in the Bible that when a man curses or uses profanity it is a sign of evil that was in that man's heart. It is popular today for both men and women to curse. They never think of it as an evil condition in their heart, but rather a small thing that everyone does. These small words of cursing the Bible says, will defile the whole man if they are not repented of and stopped. Cussing and using the name of the Lord in vain causes one to become defiled. Colosians 3:8 But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth. 9 Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds; 10 And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him." Matthew 5:37: "But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil." If swearing and cursing have been a problem in your life ask the Lord to forgive you and deliver you so that your words may be good and loving words full of grace and truth. He will help you overcome this problem through His power. Matthew 12:34-36: "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. 36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment." Psalm 19:14: "Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer." God Bless |

Debbie, Thank you for your comments. I believe the majority of us have struggled with this and Romans 12:2 refers to renewing our minds, but as our minds are being renewed this is what we are to think on: Phl. 4:8, Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things [are] honest, whatsoever things [are] just, whatsoever things [are] pure, whatsoever things [are] lovely, whatsoever things [are] of good report; if [there be] any virtue, and if [there be] any praise, think on these things. God bless you |

177 | Functions of the Body of Christ | Bible general Archive 1 | inmyheart | 87074 | ||
The Bible describes discipleship as much broader and deeper than the "discipleship" that is often practiced today. Jesus specified in Matthew 28:19-20 that His disciples were to "… go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded." Jesus made it clear that, in addition to presenting the Gospel, making disciples includes teaching believers to observe all that He taught about how to live victoriously. The command to disciple includes all aspects of personal ministry to others. As described and practiced by the writers of Scripture, biblical discipleship involves evangelizing, baptizing, teaching, admonishing, instructing, comforting, encouraging, restoring, strengthening, reproving, rebuking, and exhorting others to follow a biblical pattern of life (based on Matthew 28:19-20; Romans 15:14; II Corinthians 1:4; Galatians 6:1; I Thessalonians 3:2; II Timothy 4:2; Hebrews 10:24). Helping someone to face, deal with, and endure even the most serious of problems or circumstances in a manner that pleases God is not a complicated or mysterious process. It is merely a matter of helping him to walk by the Holy Spirit. The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Galatians 5:16-25). When a person is walking by the Holy Spirit, he has complete victory in dealing with and enduring the tests and trials of life. God bless |

180 | Can I request for cassettes from tithes | OT general | inmyheart | 48236 | ||
Hi Sam, am I missing something here. I mean are we to look to God for our healing or to man? Does it matter if God uses Benny Hinn (I only use his name here because its posted), or let's say, 2nd Samuel 22:29, for healing. I don't believe Benny or anyone for that matter, can heal a flea :), only God. Your last statement (Rev.13:14), Do you think Benny is encouraging people to make an image to the beast? My line of thought here is (remember I'm not siding w/Benny) can we make statements, or is it even safe to proclaim a person to be a false prophet? "Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God" 1John 4:2. I have listened to Benny Hinn, and he has confessed Jesus as Lord and Savior. I would really like to know what is behind the scenes here concerning Benny Hinn, If this will cause any strife or bitterness, I'll understand if you don't reply, ok. Thank you Sam, God Blessings |
