181 | are we free? | Rev 3:16 | glory777 | 7803 | ||
First I would want to know what that vision is? Is it in accordance with God's word? Everything has to be judged according to that. If it is, then I would have to say there are always going to be people that try to take the joy of the Lord from you. Jesus wants us to be fanatical about Him. In Rev. 2:4, Jesus is rebuking a church because it had left it's "first love." Too many "Christians" have never felt the excitement and desire of a "first love" for Christ or they have become so "mature" that they think it should be tempered. Christ also says of those who are lukewarm "I will spew (vomit) you out of my mouth" in Rev. 3:16. Keep the excitement for the Lord. We are to be a people called apart and there will be those who try to mold us to what THEY expect. Keep studying the Word and remember, we follow what God says, and not man. Freedom is not an excuse for doing anything WE want, but for doing what God wants. | ||||||
182 | Who was Gamaliel? | Acts 5:34 | glory777 | 7400 | ||
I would say he was not an ally, but a Jew who heard a word from God. God will even use unbelievers to accomplish His will. | ||||||
183 | How far can Christians go in sinning? | Heb 12:8 | glory777 | 7310 | ||
What do you mean? Before what? I don't know if that is a question about the unforgivable sin, or if you mean justifiable sin(?). Am I missing something? | ||||||
184 | Examine yourselves! | 2 Cor 13:5 | glory777 | 7308 | ||
The biggest thing for me is that I find I am able to see others more in the light of how God sees them. And it is not that I succeed, but that I know I have to try. Forgiving was the hard one for me. But I find, that the more I forgive, the more I am able to forgive. Just having the Holy Spirit there, pricking my spirit, is something that I never had before I came to Jesus. | ||||||
185 | Babies and young children a distraction? | Bible general Archive 1 | glory777 | 7307 | ||
Nolan (and others)- I was raised in a church where the children had to sit quietly for over an hour or were threatened and taken out. Church was sober and very, very serious. I do not know of one child that grew up to enjoy being in church. It was a duty. I now belong to a church that welcomes and makes a place for the children. When church first starts we have faster praise music. The children enjoy singing their praises to the Lord. Babies are kept with their parents unless they are fussing and then we have a soundproof nursery in the back with viewing and sound. When the worship and teaching begins, along with the slower music, the young children go to children's church (4-10 years or so) and the toddlers and infants (if the parents want) go to toddlers church. The children see how much the adults love to worship and they learn that praising and worshipping God is something to look forward to.In their "church", they find learning about Jesus is something that is fun. I know it is not a distraction when small children sing praise songs and we are blessed by having conscientious parents of babies. |

186 | Sketch/profile on Joseph (Jacob's son)? | Genesis | glory777 | 7209 | ||
I read an excellent book by Chuck Swindoll titled "Joseph". It gives a lot of insight and is not a hard read. I think you would enjoy it. | ||||||
187 | Is there a Heaven? | 2 Cor 5:6 | glory777 | 7147 | ||
My heart goes out to you, and I cry for your hurt. But I can't cry for the children. They are with the Lord, they were not of an age to consciously choose to do what they knew was against Him. As to the others who were older...Were they born again? That is the crucial question. If they weren't, the Bible says in John 3:3 that you have to be to go to Heaven. What is even harder, is if you don't know. I lost my mother a few years ago, and I to this day do not know if she ever came to the saving heart knowledge of Jesus Christ. I gave her the knowledge, but I never knew if she made a decision. I pray she did. And I have to ask God still to give me peace about this. And He does. I think the problem with us, is we see death through mortal eyes and not God's eyes. Our lives seem to go on and are so special to us. This world is not good, we have crime, sickness, pain and death. Actually, death is a blessing because it is taking us to be with God to be truly changed and to be all we were meant to be. Our time here is to be used serving the Lord and rejoicing in Him until He calls us to Him. If there really is a God, and we know there is, then we know that God is truth and His word is true. God says there is a Heaven, so there is. Stick close to your Bible. I found the Psalms so helpful and keep praise and worship music around you. It is so hard to rejoice at a time like this, but I found the verse Neh. 8:10 to be so helpful and the song that I had to keep playing and really worshipping to was "Shout to the Lord" by Darlene Zcheck (sp). I hope they help you. |

188 | Is 'match making' Biblical? | Bible general Archive 1 | glory777 | 7143 | ||
I don't think there is anything wrong with this. I don't recall any precedent set in the Bible for the social situation we are in today. I do know that the Bible says not to be unevenly yoked, and if that means the only way you can meet someone of the opposite sex who is Christian, than go for it. Good friends are valuable. I think about the only types of matchmaking in the Bible were those done by the parents for their children, or for nations to cement their relationships (kings marrying their daughters to other kings). |

189 | Are we done? | 1 Pet 1:3 | glory777 | 7070 | ||
Charis- I am not an expert, but I believe that, as physical birth is at a moment in time, and the birth itself is complete, so is being born again. It happens at a deffinite moment. When Jesus says, "I stand at the door and knock" in Rev. 3:20 it is also implying a moment in time. I think at the time you admit you are a sinner, that you are so far below a perfect God and can never attain righteousness on your own, you are glimpsing the perfectness of the kingdom of heaven. As physical birth is a process of growing, so is spiritual birth. You are born, just not adult. |
