You must be 18 years of age to be posting here, please remove yourself from this site or you will be asked to leave. God bless! | ||||||
202 | Believing in the Bible | Bible general Archive 1 | inmyheart | 65063 | ||
Greetings What you should understand is when you are speaking to other people is that you are planting seeds into their lives. Meaning, that the Word of God will not go back void to God. They may not believe right now, but so did we when we were unbelivers! Let your life be the bible (2Corinthians 3:2) and demonstrate that God is alive in your life. Don't forget, the Word of God says in 1 Corinthians 1:18, that the preaching of the cross is foolishness to them who are perishing, or spiritually dead. Finally, continual to pray for you friends, or anytime you enter into witnessing. Remember the devil is a liar, and will use your friends to discourage you, but don't fall for that scheme. I leave you with this verse for you to read; 1 Corinthians 15:57-58. God bless you, "with God all things are possible!" |

204 | Never defend myself or others ag. evil? | Matt 5:39 | inmyheart | 64686 | ||
Jesus presents the fullness of this law: the non-resistance of evil. This is a radical command, but not an absolute one: Jesus Himself resisted evil when He turned tables in the temple. This principle is also relevant to personal relationships, and not to the proper functions of government in restraining evil (Romans 13:1-4); I must turn my cheek when I am personally insulted (the cultural meaning of a slap on the cheek), but the government has a responsibility to restrain the evil man from physical assault. Jesus also displayed the principle behind the law in His trials before the Sanhedrin and Pilate: we are to let God defend our case, not ourselves. Positively, we are told to take command of evil impositions by making a deliberate choice to give more than we are required. Roman law commanded Jews (in their Judean occupation) to carry the pack of any Roman soldier, but only for one mile; Jesus is saying "go beyond the one mile required by law and give another mile out of a free choice of love." This is how we change someone's attempt to manipulate us into our free act of love. The only limit to this kind of sacrifice is the limit that love itself will impose; it isn't love to give into someone's manipulation without our transforming it into a free act of love; it isn't always love to give or to not resist. Jesus clearly says that "we are not to resist the evil person;" we are to "resist evil itself" at every opportunity. God Bless |

205 | "Every rhema ?" | Matt 4:4 | inmyheart | 64475 | ||
Jesus lays out a system of priorities that challenges us: "Every word that proceeds from the mouth of God," is to be more precious to us than food itself. "By relying on the power and truth of God's Word," Jesus was willing to fight this battle as a man; He could have easily rebuked Satan into another galaxy, but resisted Him in a way that we can imitate and identify with. God bless |

206 | Only church members can be baptized? | Mark | inmyheart | 64395 | ||
Many people go to be baptized, but they have so little knowledge of the Bible and of Jesus that they cannot understand or believe on Jesus with all their heart. In some countries, people may gather in great numbers to be baptized; yet when each one is questioned, "Who is Jesus?", many do not know Who He really is. To many, He is nothing more than a name and a person they sing about. They have no saving knowledge or faith. They are not ready for baptism. Mk 16:16-HE THAT BELIEVETH AND IS BAPTIZED SHALL BE SAVED; BUT HE THAT BELIEVETH NOT SHALL BE DAMNED. Note, "BELIEVING" must be in place before water baptism is done; and "believing" is to be WITH ALL THINE HEART. A person cannot believe on or be baptized into One in whom they know nothing about. Many preachers and elders wrongly baptize these people without ever discerning if they believe on Jesus and understand who He is, and what He did. You become a member when you enter into the family of God. God bless |

207 | Elders anointing sick with oil. | James 5:14 | inmyheart | 63724 | ||
Exhortations for Christian care for one another 1. (James 5:13-14) How to meet needs arising among Christians. a. The suffering need to pray; the cheerful should sing psalms of praise to God, and the sick should call for the elders of the church, asking them to pray for their need. i. James has the same advice for both the one suffering and the one doing well: take it all to the Lord. In fact, the two commands could be reversed: sufferers should sing also, and the cheerful should also pray. ii. James clearly puts the initiative on the person in need (let 'him' call); the hesitancy of people to ask for or to seek prayer from the leadership of the church in such circumstances is a true mystery. b. James also says that the elders of the church, as they pray, should anoint the sick person with oil in the name of the Lord; this anointing with oil has been interpreted as either seeking the best medical attention possible for the afflicted (oil massages were considered medicinal), or as an emblem of the Holy Spirit's presence and power. i. Anointing the sick with oil is also mentioned in Mark 6:13; Luke 10:24 mentions the application of oil in a medicinal sense. c. The Roman Catholic church mutated the command to anoint the sick into the "sacrament" of Extreme Unction, administered to someone to prepare them for death - something intended to heal was made into a preparation for death! from www.blueletterbible.org |

210 | women should keep silent in church | 1 Cor 14:34 | inmyheart | 63258 | ||
Women's shouldn't be judging prophecy or disrupting meetings. Paul has already assumed the right of women to pray or prophecy publicly (1Cor.11:1-16); here he probably is emphasizing the right of women to judge prophecy, something restricted to the male leadership of the church. As well, women (or men for that matter) shouldn't be disrupting meetings with questions or chatter. God bless |

Hbr 9:27 And inasmuch as it is appointed for men to die once and after this comes judgment, Hbr 9:28 so Christ also, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time for salvation without reference to sin, to those who eagerly await Him.

212 | I won"t be saved if I don't tithe | 2 Corinthians | inmyheart | 63204 | ||
From 2Cor.9:7 Giving should come from a right heart. a. Our giving reveals the purpose of our heart; where our treasure is, our heart will be also. b. God doesn't want our grudging gifts; He looks for cheerful (the Greek uses the word from which we get our word hilarious) giving! c. True giving also gives us a happy heart. i. The poet Carlyle said that when he was a boy, a beggar came to the door when his parents were gone. On a youthful impulse, he rushed to his room, broke his piggy-bank and gave the beggar all the money. He said that never before or since had he known such sheer happiness as came to him in that moment. ii. Ananias and Sapphira: examples of giving for the wrong reasons, not out of a cheerful heart. d. Remember that God's giving of His grace is the complete opposite of grudging and forced; He delights to give His love to us i. "It is not difficult to suggest why God delights in the cheerful giver. He himself is such a giver and desires to see this characteristic restored among those who were created in his image." (Kruse)(from blueletterbible) On the other hand, what would happen if you lost all of your wages? Are we looking to our Father in heaven to meet our provisions, or we trusting in ourselves? You are saved by God's Grace(Rom.3:24). As the commentary above says, God is developing our characteristics. "Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poure into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you." Luke 6:37-38 (NIV). God bless |

214 | Scriptures on testing? | James 1:13 | inmyheart | 62987 | ||
Hello Prayon, Greetings and blessings to you. Here is some info on James 1:2-4 on trial/tests. B. Trials and wisdom 1. (2-4) Patient endurance in trials a. James regards trials as inevitable (when, not if you fall into trials), yet as occasions for joy, not discouraged resignation; they are used to produce patience i. Patience (hupomone) is not a passive waiting, but an active endurance, such as the quality needed to endure through a long race ii. Hupomone comes from hupo (under) and meno (to stay, abide, remain); it has the picture of being under a heavy load and resolutely staying there instead of trying to escape; the philosopher Philo called hupomone "the queen of virtues" b. Faith is tested through trials, not produced by them; trials reveal what faith we do have, not because God doesn't know (He is omniscient, knowing all), but to make our faith evident to ourselves - and those around us i. It is easy to talk about our faith in God when things are easy, but our faith is really shown in the midst of trial c. Yet, when trials come, patience is not produced as an inevitable result; if difficulties are received in unbelief and grumbling, they can be the source of bitterness and discouragement; this is why James implores us to count it all joy i. "It is occasionally asserted that James asks his readers to enjoy their trials. . . He did not say that they must feel it all joy, or that trials are all joy" (Hiebert) ii. In trials, God wants to be our first resource, not our last resort d. The work of patient endurance comes slowly, and must be allowed to have full bloom; and this virtue is a mark of the person who is perfect and complete, lacking nothing. God bless you in all of your endeavors! |

216 | needed surgery verses elective | Bible general Archive 1 | inmyheart | 62893 | ||
Disease of life, we were born with it. we are never satisfied with who we are and what we are. We never have enough money, never look good enough. This is called the dis - ease of life. When we come to know our Lord and Savior, we discover who we are. That God designed each one with a purpose, our looks, our talents, our skin color even our parents were planned by God, we had no choice in the creation of ourselves. Now you have a choice, be saitisfied how God created you (He makes no mistakes), or you can use the reasons you stated to satisfied your needs. Will God love you less? No, but I can't speak for your husband. You want to be more intimate with each other, be more intimate with God. Read Ephesians 5:22-33 and all of Proverbs 31. God bless you, you really are precious in the eyes of God. |

217 | So what is going on here? | 2 Cor 7:8 | inmyheart | 62513 | ||
This is a commentary on the question you ask. God's blessings. Paul didn't relish the thought of making the Corinthians feel bad (though they deserved it!); but he was happy for the effect it had on them (repentance) Notice how Paul separates sorrow from repentance: they aren't the same things! i. "Repentance is not sorrow only. It may be unaccompanied by sorrow . . . at the time, but sorrow will always follow, sorrow for the past; but this change of mind is the great thing." (Morgan) ii. "Sorrow alone accomplishes nothing. Peter was sorry he denied Christ, and he repented. Judas was sorry he betrayed Christ but, instead of repenting, he killed himself." (Smith) Repentance "is not the ground of our salvation; but it is a part of it and necessary condition of it. Those who repent are saved; the impenitent perish. Repentance is therefore unto salvation." (Hodge) i. Godly sorrow will acknowledge sin, not merely a shortcoming, a wrong, a mistake, but sin before God ii. We don't have to question weather our sorrow is deep enough; only if it has led us to repent and cast ourselves on Christ Though this sorrow ultimately had a good effect on the Corinthians, not all sorrow does; when it is borne in a worldly way, it has the deadly effect of producing resentment or bitterness i. What makes suffering good for us is not the mere experience of suffering, but our reaction to it; a godly, positive reaction brings blessing, a worldly, negative reaction causes harm i. The repentance of the Corinthians was shown by their actions, as described in verse 11 When Paul says in this matter in verse 11, he is using godly discretion by not bringing up the whole affair again from the beginning i. Again, Paul's purpose in sending the severe letter was not to condemn, but to demonstrate his concern. |

Rom 10:17 So then faith [cometh] by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. (KJV) Hello lialia 1212, what you are looking for is called growing and maturing in the Lord. We are to seek God daily through the reading of His Word. God will take the "hard for me to understand," to easy. "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is EASY and my burden is light." Matt.11:28-30. Let me encourage you to be a student of His Word 2Tim.2:15 God bless |

christian7, Greetings to you my christian friend. Let God take you through this point of your growth. I quote from these two scriptures; "But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who believe and are saved" Hebrews 10:39 (NIV). "But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my dear brothers, 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." 1Corinthians 15:57-58 (NIV). The majority, (I pray), are your brothers and sisters here on the forum. At times we bump heads, as we have, and will, but this is still good training ground for us all. Can you see the fight in the dark world that we face daily, but glory to God we have the victory, we know our savior Jesus. This forum in no way compares to the people of the world. Remember what 1Cor.1:18 says, that the preaching of the cross to them who are perishing is foolishness, but to US who are saved, it's the POWER of God. I'm here to say that the devil is a liar, your best days and your blessed days are still ahead of you, so stay and be a blessing to others. God loves you and so do I! God Bless P.S. God didn't call to be the victim of your circumstances. but to be the victor over your circumstances. |

220 | What is the Crown of Life | James 1:12 | inmyheart | 62280 | ||
A blessing for those who endure temptation a. This sounds like one of Jesus' Beatitudes; there are at least fifteen allusions to the Sermon on the Mount in James; it comes from a man who knew the teaching of Jesus and took it seriously. b. Temptation is one of the various trials (1:2) we face; as we persevere through temptation, we are proved (tested), and will be rewarded as the work of God in us is evident through our resistance of temptation. c. "The crown of life" promised by the Lord reminds us that it really is worth it to endure under the temptations we face; our steadfastness will be rewarded as we demonstrate our love for Jesus by resisting temptation. God bless |
