182 | Can I divorce my wife for her neglect? | 1 Cor 7:3 | inmyheart | 66459 | ||
NO! What God has joined together let no man put asunder, Matthew 19:6. What you must understand is that God has a plan for your lives, and for you to interup that, God hates, (God hates divorce). With God, all things are possible, He can change your situation around. You are to love your wife as Christ loved the church, to the point of laying your life down for her. This is going to take some work on your part, just like God worked on your life! I suggest that you seek counsel from your pastor and get involved with other Christian couples or a marriage builders group. Let me add, I'll be agreeing with you in prayer for your marriage, this is what the family of God is for. Let's give glory to God for the things He has done and will continue to do in our lives. God bless. |

184 | Accountable for every commandment? | NT general Archive 1 | inmyheart | 66425 | ||
Greetings Charis, And as you probably know, words have meanings. You stated; "As you probably know, "I think" that every believer should be baptized." I don't want to assume anything, so do you "think" or do you "know" that every believer should be baptized! Because, if you "know" then you know that santification follow salvation. You know that there is no perfect Christian, but through all things God builds our character, to reflect that of Christ. Let me know if you "think" or do you "know", and this is not a play on words, this way I can answer you more direct. Thanks, and God bless |

186 | Is baptism a work? | NT general Archive 1 | inmyheart | 66383 | ||
It is written, GOD IS NOT THE AUTHOR OF CONFUSION-1 Cor 14:33. There are many religions and traditions that contradict God’s Word. It was the same in the days of Jesus. Do not place your hope in a religion, but place it in the Bible. Do not follow stories that some people tell, which may cause you to err from the truth. Some say that you do not have to be baptized, because the prisoner that hung on the cross next to Jesus was not baptized. We note the command to be baptized, given in Mk 16:16 and Acts 2:38 and others, came after Jesus rose from the dead. The prisoner died before Jesus rose from the grave. How could he have been baptized into the death and resurrection of Jesus, when Jesus had not yet been buried or risen from the dead? He also died before the Holy Ghost was given. It is written: THE HOLY GHOST WAS NOT YET GIVEN-Jn 7:39; ref 20:22. Some say that Paul was not sent to baptize, and this is true; but his followers did the baptizing. Some might say because Mk 16:16 does not repeat the word baptize in the second part of the verse that it means it is not mandatory. Let’s read Mk 16:16-HE THAT BELIEVETH AND IS BAPTIZED SHALL BE SAVED; BUT HE THAT BELIEVETH NOT SHALL BE DAMNED. Some have asked why Jesus did not say, "He that believeth not and is baptized not?" The answer is, because we are baptized into the death and resurrection of Jesus. You cannot be baptized into One in whom you do not believe. Thus, to say HE THAT BELIEVETH NOT, "and is baptized not" would be incorrect. For if you do not believe on Jesus, it is not possible to be baptized into His death and resurrection. Therefore, if a person does not believe, no biblical baptism exists. Some would say that water baptism is symbolic only; thus, it is not necessary. It is far more than symbolic as the Scriptures are showing us. This is why Satan fights so hard against baptism. This is why Satan tries to cause so much confusion about water baptism and is succeeding. Some say that water baptism is not necessary as it is a form of works. Satan is a liar. Do not let him deceive you. Obey God’s Word. God bless - need more info, let me know. Blessed be the Name of our Lord. |

187 | 1 Tim 6:17 | 3 John 1:2 | inmyheart | 66295 | ||
Come on now! You get that man of God who is in the will of God and who is prospering financally, with that house on a hill and all that goes with it, and you switch him with that man who is in the will of God, serving God in the third world country, living day by day with his pockets empty and living in a shack, I guarrantee that both of them will still magnify the One true God. We are of royality, we don't seek things of value, we put value in things! We don't need something to be somebody, we are somebody with out something. What does Jeremiah 29:11 say - I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, "plans to PROSPER you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future"... Are we not going to live to fullfill our destiny? Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the House of the Lord forever. God bless. |

188 | Why doesn’t God just show himself to tho | Mark 11:22 | inmyheart | 66265 | ||
God has shown Himself to the world through His Son Jesus! These are a couple of verses that Christians know that are right. 2Timothy2:15, Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who "correctly" handles the word of truth. Romans 12:2, Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then "YOU" will be able to test and approve what God's will is--his good, pleasing and perfect will. jmartin, 1 Corinthians 1:18 says, and I'm paraphrasing, that if your not saved, then the Word of God is nonsense, but if your are saved it's powerful. You are not here by accident, and you are not a mistake, God has a purpose for your life. You were created for God's pleasure, for God's family, to become like Christ, to serve God and made for a mission. John 3:16 and Roman 10:9-10, will lead you God. Why not do it now. God bless |

189 | Are some sins greater than others? | Romans | inmyheart | 65853 | ||
The law was a comprehensive whole made up of civil, moral, and ceremonial requirements. To break it at one point was to break it in its totality. Since man cannot measure up to the law's lofty demands, it brings him face to face with his sin. In marked contrast to the law, grace is God's unmerited favor. Through Christ, God provides for man what he could not provide for himself. Jesus came to pay a debt He didn't owe because man owed a debt he couldn't pay. Whether it was the Old Testament of law or the New Testament of grace, God has spoken. That in itself is an astounding and humbling reality. God was not obligated to speak. He was not our debtor. Man surely did not deserve a word from heaven. After all, we were sinful, disobedient, and at enmity with God. God has spoken with finality through His Son. It is a completed and perfect message. Nothing has to be added and nothing has to be changed. It simply has to be understood and obeyed. Matthew 22:36-40, "Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law? "Jesus replied: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.'This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments." |

190 | Did God create "EVIL"? | Rom 5:12 | inmyheart | 65847 | ||
zerotheory God had existed in eternity; time itself has been created by him. This means that before the creation of the universe, God had existed alone. And since Scripture teaches that there is no evil in God, the question arises as to "the source and origin of evil." We cannot say that God himself, although there is no evil in him, committed evil; Scripture denies this possibility. James 1:16-17 tells us, "Don't be deceived, my dear brothers. Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows." If God is the source of "every good and perfect gift, "and gift,"does not change," it means that he does not perform anything other than that which is good. An answer consistent with the biblical data would be that God had created creatures with the ability to choose, although he possessed complete control over even their wills, and that it was good for him to have done so. But these creatures by God's good sovereign decree, decided to make choices that were contrary to the goodness of God and therefore resulted in evil. We must insist, contrary to the "free will" of humanism, that God did not merely "permit" evil, but he decreed it; otherwise, it could not have originated. Now, the Bible says that if there is no moral law, there would be no sin. Therefore, sin is a transgression of the moral law. Since the moral law states that which is good, evil is thus a deviation from objective goodness, and is therefore not really a thing in itself.What follows from this is that goodness can exist without evil, but evil cannot exist without objective goodness. If evil, as it seems,is an "ought not," then it cannot exist without an "ought." It is possible for there to be an objective standard of goodness without any deviation from it, but it is not possible for there to be a deviation from goodness if the goodness itself is undefined or non-existent. For example, it is conceivable to have a speed limit without anyone violating it, but it is impossible to violate the speed limit if there is no such thing. Likewise, it is only possible for there to be evil if there is good, but it is possible for there to be good without the existence of evil. God does not need Satan to define him. Evil indeed exists, but not as a thing in itself; rather, it is a deviation from the good. This does not mean that evil is an illusion, as some non-Christian systems of thought assert,but that it does not have independent and objective existence, as is the case with goodness. In brief, goodness is defined by the word of God, and evil is in turn defined by (the deviation from) goodness. What God says is good, is good; what deviates or contradicts what he says is evil. Did this help you? God bless! P.S. My first post is from my files, and was not fitted to this window, let's see if this second post will fit, if not, you get the message. Praise God. |

192 | helping someone to believe? | John 3:16 | inmyheart | 65704 | ||
You pray for them. You've heard that some sow, some water, and some harvest? Only God knows how He wants to use you in winning this person to the Lord. For myself, when I was in the world the preaching of the cross was foolishness ( maybe you can agree with this also), as it is written in 1 Corinthians 1:18, but now that I'm a believer, it's the power of God, amen! One thing is certain, that God wants to demonstrate His Love through you to this lost and dying world. God Bless |

193 | Is believing the same as knowing? | Acts 15:11 | inmyheart | 65703 | ||
Romans 10:9-10 That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that "God raised him from the dead," you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. Greetings, we confess the Word of God, that Jesus did die for our sins and God raised Him back from the dead, and because He is not dead, He lives. Jesus did not just die and now is living. God sent His only Son to be that ultimate sacrifice, to redeem us from our sin, He paid the debt that He did not owe, becauce we had a debt that we could not pay. In short, we must speak the whole truth, never compromise His Word. |

194 | Should I resign from the Forum? | 2 Thess 1:3 | inmyheart | 65702 | ||
mommpabs, Greetings! I'm thinking of you with the following verses. Hebrews 10:39 But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who believe and are saved. 1 Corinthians 15:58 Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain. 2 Corinthians 7:12-13, So even though I wrote to you, it was not on account of the one who did the wrong or of the injured party, but rather that before God you could see for yourselves how devoted to us you are. By all this we are ENCOURAGED. God bless you my friend!!! |

196 | How does Satan influence us? | John 13:27 | inmyheart | 65570 | ||
Rom 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, [which is] your reasonable service. Rom 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what [is] that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. And be not conformed to this world, meaning don't be squeezed or pressured into the mold of this world. We are to be transformed, or changed. And the way to be changed is to renew our mind. For us to get to our destiny and purpose in life, we have to transformed. The born-again experience has elevated us to a higher standard, and once we are elevated to that higher standard of living we are to renew our mind, and "bring our minds" up to that higher standard, so we can operate effectively. We want to make it to our destiny, one of the things we found out is that the enemy (satan) is after our souls. Our souls consist of our mind, will and emotions. In Matthew 6:25, we are not to worry, well one the the ways the enemy will attack you in through your mind, he will send a thought, and we are to cast those those thoughts down or out of our minds. In fact the bible instructs us on what to think about in Philippians 4:8-9. Well, this can go into a study, so I'll stop here. I pray that this has given you some information. Don't forget Jesus, is the author and finisher of our faith, we have the victory! God bless. P.S. Yes, to all of your ? |

197 | How does Satan communicate with us? | John 13:27 | inmyheart | 65557 | ||
Cheryl, Satan is the father of lies, he will use every situation to attack you. Here are a few verses to help you recognize some areas that liar uses. When these areas arise, we are to cast them down, or reject them, or not entertain them. 2Cr 10:4 (For the weapons of our warfare [are] not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) 2Cr 10:5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; 2Cr 10:6 And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.

198 | love...as himself (if no self-love?) | Eph 5:33 | inmyheart | 65467 | ||
How husbands walk in the light: loving their wives. The model for the husband's love is nothing less that the totally self-giving love of Jesus; "husbands are to set aside their natural selfishness" and care for their own wives as their would themselves. Self-love is found in Christ Jesus, when we surrender all. We are to lose our lives(no matter how good we thought we were), so we can find our life in Jesus. The paradox: finding life by losing it a. Jesus asks us to look beyond immediate gratification, because the immediate loss is worth the ultimate gain, even though the loss is completely repulsive to our flesh. b. This ultimate gain is given on that day when He will reward each according to his works; if we live life blind to this truth, we really will lose our own soul.(Matthew 16:25-27) |

200 | tithing | Acts 13:39 | inmyheart | 65223 | ||
In the churches of Corinth and of Galatia, when on a certain occasion money was needed for the saints' (that is, apparently, the poor of the church of Jerusalem), the apostle Paul, with a founder's authority, directed or gave order: "Upon the first day of the week let each one of you lay by him in store, as he may prosper," I Corinthians 16:2. Here four things may be noticed about this method of raising a charitable fund: 1. It seems to be assumed that every one would give. 2. Givings were to be stored beforehand. 3. Giving was to have reference to prosperity. 4. Giving, or laying by, was to be exercised every Lord's day. And it should be observed that sometimes collections, enjoined by the apostle, were on behalf of Christians outside the churches in which the contributions were made. Other instructions upon giving, taught by Paul to his Galatian converts, seem to occur in connection with their support of the ministry, for he says: "Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things. Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap," Galatians 6:6-7 Give to your local body of believers, your church. God will lead you to the right one. God Bless |
