201 | Having yet not knowing one has | Romans | GeorJoy | 90081 | ||
Ok. Many times, I have read what you have quoted. I see not an answer to my question therein. In my blissful ignorance, which is not due to any lack of biblical study, just a lack of study on this particular topic; I have determined that what I refer to is an additional gift such as is "wisdom, prophecy, toungs and the gift of interpritation." I know that there is a doctrinal issue here. I address this question only to those who are aware of and have experienced the utterance of toungs. Let me rephrase my question by replacing the word "spirit" with "ghost." Once again, I will reveal my ignorance by stating that although currently I have no biblical foundation for the following statement, I believe there is one. I (think) they, the Holy Spirit and The Holy Ghost are two completely different things. Correct me with scripture, if you will. Remove the splinter from my eye, (I AM NOT SAYING THAT ANYONE DOES, but) only if you have no mote in yours, please. Thanks George. |

Thank you again Smythe! For you have sparked an inferno of study on my part. You have effectively shut my mouth for a time... George |

204 | Is Your Modern Translation Corrupt? | 2 Tim 3:16 | GeorJoy | 90003 | ||
My goodness! I wonder if the Pharisees did not have this same discussion? I would ask. "What is the second greatest commandment"? What is there beyond ones fulfillment of this commandment that is worthy of study? Is it likely that it was misinterpreted? When I get this one perfected, I may consider seeking the perfection of another of my shortcomings; Comparitively; Not the least of which is the "mote" in the eye of those who would waste thought on such things as these. By the way; On a seemingly contradictory note, I like the NIV for obvious reasons. The Lord showed it to me shortly after its first full printing when, not knowing there was even another version in existence, I informed him that I couldn’t understand the KJV, and that there must be something out there that I could understand. He promptly satisfied my sincere desire. I also like the KJV “for obvious reasons;” Probably, primarily the same as others who were raised with it. Also because it helps to clarify questions I may have with specific scripture or thought in the NIV. I also like, and occasionally use for clarification purposes “The Interlinear Bible, Hebrew, Greek, English,” with the KJ2 version along the sideline, which anyone who is familiar with will know the obvious reason. I’d say that the KJV has stood the “test of time,” and that faith means more than all the words of all the so called scholars… George |

205 | how to interpret scripture? | 2 Tim 3:16 | GeorJoy | 89998 | ||
One can quote all the fairy tales they wish. If they don't understand Gods word, they can come up with excuses that could nearly convince the elect. I never heard or read a fary tale that stated such as is in 2Ti 2:15, Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. I would suggest that rather than the fairy tales of others, one should consider the word of God. If one seriously does so, it would be no accident if he stumbled across sthe truth. Mar 4:11 And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables: Mar 4:12 That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them. "If they don't want to see, or hear, They desirve NOT the truth." Carefull now! George |

Again, If I weren't to accept your apology, then I couldn't ask you to accept mine, which I do. Some want not to show their own ignorance by not "discussing anything with you" Schmythe. Others simply haven't the patience. Still, as with myself, others are offended by your method of discussion. Learn by what you see in the experiences of others. Try not to make the same mistakes they did and do. There is a Gold mine of learning along this line in this thread alone. Look at some of my posts. I haven't always worded them right, and thus came across saying something I didn't intend to say. Other times, what I wrote wasn't read correctly, and thus came across as an offence to the reader. Someone noted on this sight, in this thread , I think, something to the affect that "Christians don't come together to discuss scripture in the spirit of love because...." I wish I could remember who wrote it, and where that note was! For I simply don't believe that there is a true Christian alive who wishes to disagree with another Christian. Why CAN'T we agree? (I've got to do some serious studying!) It was as such in the early days of the church, and is as such today. BUT WHY? (Scriptural quotes please.) George |

208 | Scriptural reference to Book of Jasper? | 1 Thess 4:17 | GeorJoy | 89904 | ||
Dosen't bother me. That's what I said about the "Apocro-whatever." It is interesting to know though. Ed, I'd bet you've forgotten more than most of us herein will ever know... Personally, I have enough to learn as it is, without having to worry about one someone didn't figure was important enough to mention more than twice in the other 66. One could question and speculate all night. In the end, they wouldn't be any closer to the truth than in the beginning. What a waste of time that one could have used to study what is inportant. Thanks George |

I sincerely appologize to all if I have been coming across in the manner you suggest. When one states a point concerning scripture as it were fact, I tend to rebut in what some would consider an overly stressful manor. I am trying to gain control of this spirit. Who is to say that Enoch and Eliga have escaped the curse? (Now, please don't take this statement as it appears. Take it spiritually.) Who is to say their curse is not yet to come in the end days? This of course is a fleeting thought on my part and as I am not an authority on Revelations, I have nothing other than a theory. George |

We have so far to go. So much to do, and so little time to do it in. We should all just give up on ourselves and follow Jesus! Why can't we do that? There is no me; no you; only Him, in which we are all one. Oh what a day that will be! Thank you Rich George |

I was going to ignore your last such request. However, I am truly saddened that you are so personally offended. I will not argue the point. This is twice now you have suggested I leave this sight. If you are so filled with guilt by the word of truth that you have taken so much that I have quoted from the word as a (personal) attack (when it was not intended as such,) that you should scorn me with such blasphemies, I would respectfully request that you neither read nor respond to my posts. I don’t claim to be perfect. What I state is biblical and not up for anyones interpretation. I would also inform you that, unless this sight belongs to you personally, I have just as much right to it as yourself. End of discussion. Respectfully George |

213 | Are we Stupid or Lazy? Our Soul at stak | Rom 14:12 | GeorJoy | 89880 | ||
Reworded thoughts... I really mis-worded my thoughts in this post. My thanks to Smythe for pointing it out. I claim responsibility for any confusion. My intent was that all should "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.. 2Ti 2:15 Rom 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. So, no I did not intend to say we were to leave people to fend for themselves. What I meant to say was that not only should one consider Rom 10:17, but they should also consider 2Ti 2:15 , for (2Pe 2:1) there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.

You are right Schmythe. The way I worded it, this post does contradict itself. I really mis-worded my thoughts therein. I claim responsibility for any confusion. My intent was that all should "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.. 2Ti 2:15 Rom 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. So, no I did not intend to say we were to leave people to fend for themselves. What I meant to say was that not only should one consider Rom 10:17, but they should also consider 2Ti 2:15 , for (2Pe 2:1) there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. I hope I have clarified my Error. George |

You are correct 100 percent. I am wrong! However, we each have our own gift. We each are more mature in various gifts than others. In this and other matters, I am still growing. There is no doubt in my mind that if the Lord intends me to fan the flame, He will use me to do just that. Thanks George |

216 | Judgement or Discernment? | Rom 14:12 | GeorJoy | 89877 | ||
I really don't care whether anyone agrees with me or not. You have a right to your words. WE, myself included have a right; even a responsibility to spread "THE WORD." If it offends you, or you can't reconize it. So be it. Who's fault is that? If you had understood what I was saying, you would have understood what I said. I would suggest, Schmythe that you concern yourself more with your own prayer life and direction, rather than that of others. I will be held responsible for me. Likewise, you yourself. It would be to your benifit as well, if you were to concern yourself about the argumentative spirit you exuded in your note. We all have such a spirit. The wise control it. Fools let it control them. (I'm not calling you a fool.) I perfer wisdom. I'm sure you do too. Forgive me, there are times that test my control of that, spirit as well. I say this not to offend, for it is the fool who hates rebuke. (KJV)Pro 1:22 How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge? God Bless George |

Very interesting. But what about Moses, whos contenance was such that no one could look on him, and he literally had to cover his face after his visit with the Lord. And then there is Jacob, who "wrestled with the Lord. There was someone else who said, " I have seen thy face and lived. It is only icing on top of the cake. Brothers with differing opinions are still brothers. George |

219 | 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 |

You stated, "Since it says the only way to the Father is through Jesus, this may have allowed him to take them up. I would be interested to know what you think in regards to this. Also I have read other posts by you and I must say you do seem to speek with a spiritual knowledge. I pray that what you pass on brings others closer to God. God bless." IF ONE NEVER REMENBERS ANY OTHER WORD I SAY, I PRAY THAT THEY WILL REMEMBER THIS... IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT I OR ANYONE ELSE "THINKS" WHERE THE (WORD OF GOD) IS CONCERNED. IT ONLY MATTERS (WHAT) THE WORD OF GOD IS, AND WHETHER OR NOT IT IS IN THE HEART. FOR (YOU) AND (YOU) ALONE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR ETERNAL SOUL. I AM ONLY A MESSENGER. I GIVE THANKS AND PRAISE TO HE WHO ORIGINATED THAT WHICH I SO HUMBLY DELIVER, THE GOD OF GODS; FATHER OF MY SAVIOR, FOR ALL WHO WOULD RECIEVE. Actually, you misinterpret the fact that “the only way to the Father is through Jesus.” Jesus Christ died for our sins. If we know Him, we know the Father. If we know not the Son, likewise we know not the Father. The only way to the to the Father is through the Son. In other words. We must not only believe in Jesus (for Satan himself believes in him,) but we must also believe what He said and strive to live according to His teachings. The greatest of which is “to love your neighbor as yourself.” Jesus himself said this. (BNB) Mat 22:39 The second most important commandment is like it: 'Love your neighbor as you love yourself.' If this is the second most important commandment, I wonder what the first one was…. So… I seriously doubt that Enoch and Elijah were taken up by Jesus, for He hadn’t even been born yet. Thus, this occurrence is irrelevant to the fact that “says the only way to the Father is through Jesus.” I hope my feeble explination is adequate to solve your curiosity, but I would challenge you to get into the word and verify what I have said. (KJV) 2Ti 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 16 But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness. George |
