201 | 3 main miracles performed | NT general | Tamara Brewington | 204307 | ||
I am seeing four; Release from demon possession: Mathew 12:22,23 Luke 11:14 - salvation makes you holy. Resurrection from the dead: Luke 7:11-17, John 11:1-45 - salvation gives eternal life. Release from physical infirmity: Mathew 9:27-31, luke 17:11-21, John 5:1-9 - salvation cures the incurable, restores spiritual sight, restores one's spiritual abilities. Prophecy: Mathew 24:4-14,Mark 10:32-34, Mark 14:27-31 - salvation restores man to a right relationship with God. I like Sunday School Bible quizzes, they make me work, don't stop posting them please.

202 | Define wine, please? | Rev 17:2 | Tamara Brewington | 204305 | ||
Oh Yeah geez louise... My Pastor is another one... My Pastor made me go take Greek, said, you are ready go do it... My school has a couple prerequisites, had to take Greek Foundations 1,2, before taking NT Greek, haven't taken the NT yet... That stuff is no joke, believe me the demons come out when you go to learn this stuff, they do not want anyone to learn the truth! I am terrible at it though, it is very, very difficult to learn to read a language in different letters... I am in awe of folks that have deicated their lives to learning the original languages, it makes a great big difference when it comes to expository preaching and teaching, sure does... I told my Pastor about this site in the hopes he might find the time while on vacation this summer to teach on line, there is another gem set in pure gold, God blessed our church while we were searching for a pastor. I was glad and surprised when Pastor Moran put his title in his stats and his email too... I Timothy 3:16,17 God Bless the hat lady... |

Dear Tim, I am intrigued... Pray tell, which recources.. Like an idiot I glanced at the concordance and did not look closely enough to see that there was more than the most prominent number for wine... If you were using another resource, pray do tell what it was, I love to collect and use new Bible tools in my endeavor to be learning more. I haven't had the time until today but I am definitely going to go to your stats and spend the time to learn a few new things... God Bless, Tamara |

204 | Why can't I speak in tongues yet ? | Acts | Tamara Brewington | 204301 | ||
Oh My John, so very patient with me, forgive me as I chatter a bit here. LOL. I just thought of the scripture that keeps floating back to me in here I Corinthians 13... I was laughing at hats (oops there is that nasty word again) flying through the air at the rapture myself though (so much for so called unwarranted humor...). I take myself and others way too seriously sometimes, oops here comes another scripture in the middle of my chatter;Romans 12:3 For through the peace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think more highly of himself than he ought to think; but to think so as to have sound judgment, as God has allotted to each a measure of faith. The hatchet was buried between me and everybody as soon as I got on my knees the other day to ask forgiveness in my part of all of it before forgiving everyone else. You know what? Let me tell you something about the dreaded issue of hats and the issue of being a computer twit to wit, they ain't half as important as the love of Christ bewtween us all. I am a novice a new jack whose life got ruined worse than it was the day I woke up from a comma and decided, since He commanded me to live and go back out and bring Him fruit, to go do just that. On fire for the Lord, scriptures are my life, without them I have no anchor, through the blurr of a ruined mind they were there, they proved themselves to be absolutely solid. John as soon as you were answering me back again, I was sooo relieved that you were willing to teach me some more. I have a great pastor/teacher and a good church family, but there are plenty good teachers around in the body of Christ and when you find some gems that have been polished for a while you just want to soak up every word... You weren't harping John, you are being more than patient with me, so are Val and Lionheart and Azure and Hank and Searcher and Cheri and the others. I get impatient about the word, I need to chillax as my son likes to say, Mom chillax. There is time in God, I am saved, let God work things out, we are all one giant organism spread from China to the USA and beyond. I notice you end your posts with Shalom, not judging. There are so many denominations with different doctrines and I try not to judge others if they actually believe in the blood of Jesus for forgiveness of sin, I believe they are saved. Some might not agree because of the Jesus plus theory, you know, Jesus plus baptism, Jesus plus a priest, Jesus plus works, Jesus plus the law, Jesus plus add nauseum. But I had the priveledge of having a Cathholic doctor who asked me if I believed in the blood of Jesus to forgive sins after waking up out of that comma. And he was asking because I was dying and I told him I was a child of the most high God and what Jesus told me while I was under. He said then ask Him for a miracle or you will die soon, I don't care what denomination you are go pray on the blood. 40 days and 40 nights later I was miraculously healed and out of there after praying something the Holy Spirit spoke into my heart. I have a high and healthy respect for the blood of Jesus to save from sin and His stripes to heal from deathly illness. I don't care that the doctor was Catholic and I believe since he believes first and foremost in the blood of Jesus that he is going to heaven. I got to be a Baptist quite by accident and after learning a bit more than I knew decided I agreed with the basic tenents of that denomination and stayed. But I have fellowshipped with my brother's church, Church of Christ and had a very good time (both types of that denomination, with and without music, my brother switched around a bit). I am saying all this by way of leaning on the blood above tradition (there goes that aspect of the dreaded subject again) or denomination. I think that each denomination has a lot right and a few things all wrong including mine because we ain't God and we can't get it right in our present state. What is graceful about you, (whoops I have been chatting!) John, is the love of Christ in you towards me and the ability to put up with my crap and teach me at the same time. That's grace. Thanks for everything and your prayers too, God Bless, the hat lady |

Thanks Hank! Lionheart told me to guard my heart! I will be praying aout that... I had to laugh for a while after learning how to follow a thread... I saw that sometimes the old timers hunker down into a serious back and forth study and sometimes digress into heartfelt obvious chatter! I was laughing so hard after being told that my posts were like unto chatter with the fact that at that time I kept including exploration into the scriptures that folks sent in reply to questions... Go figure I later gave up trying to believe that some would be addressing the scriptures in my questions and did not include scriptures or contexts at all. And in those cases did not even bother to try to answer folks back on their notes because I was discouraged. I think I need to guard my heart in more ways than one... I will endeavor to reach out to others in continued sincerity and also go back to including contexts and scriptures without too much brevity as this makes it hard for others to understand what exactly is the context of the questions, which is what we are supposed to be doing here as part of following guidlines... As I pointed out to Azure, I said hardly received help, not didn't receive any. I will continue to ask for help. God, bless, have a good Sunday, gotta go, late for first Sunday, Tamara |

206 | The Hat situation? | 1 Cor 11:16 | Tamara Brewington | 204282 | ||
Any reaon this post didn't make it in my mail box? Did you follow the thread from the original question, or pick it up somewhere along the road? Transference has been practiced for so long in the church concerning doctrines large and small, you know where we take what was the intent of the author and change it to fit today's standards of society because we don't think it applies to us today... Convention was never the thrust of the question whether it was moral at the time and should be for us today or whether it is just a peice of history to be discarded and the essence extracted into a re-application for today is the question. I appreciate your post though, at least you were aiming at the part of the question about history somewhere in there. But I will try looking on the web for the Catholic Doctrine to check out your idea, I didn't realize Catholics had a doctrine on this subject. The only thing I know about the history of this thing is that people only stopped wearing hats in the beginning of the twentieth century or so. Interesting that it is seen today as something that has been unimportant for a very long time, a century doesn't compare to nearly 2,000 years... God Bless, Tamara |

Lionheart thanks for that, I don't want to be spoiling the forum for folks, that is the last thing I would want to do. I don't want to expound, stand on principle at the expense of acting without love, or disgruntle the saints. God Bless, Tamara |

Thanks Lionheart, I need prayer somehow I just offended Azure... About something totaly different, I said hardly anyone was willing to school me how to use this site when I first came. She seemed to take it that I meant no one was willing to school me when I first came to this site in a note full of instructions how to navigate this site to someone who is new as of today. She sent me the post numbers from when you schooled me and when she schooled me. Yikes! God Bless, Tamara |

Oh my dear Azure, it was a little while of asking before anyone stepped up to the plate and I had stumble around a bit at first. Didn't mean to belittle your help or Lionheart's help either. And didn't I say hardly anyone, which of course means someone did! I have had a realy hard row to hoe in here Azure, I think you know this, my first help from you though I remember well, an admonition on how to post a note, if I remember correctly... If you will remember no one answered me so soon that I did not continue to stumble a bit which is what I meant. Have I ruffled feathers again Azure? I am trying so hard prayfuly not to do that anymore... To every old timer who sees this post, forgive me if I have offended you by saying that hardly anyone was willing to school me, but it took a while before anyone did and that is the truth. God bless Azure and the other old timers. |

Hey Lionheart long time no hear! Ok Lionheart, but since I only found out that folks were getting ruffled in here after a couple of posts you will have to excuse me... No one in my congregation is getting ruffled, they had one heated debate which I stayed out of, trying to understand the passage. So I can keep weariing the hat out here, but can't speak about it in here anymore. And it ending up being that in here they were derisive towards me and deciding that me talking about whether or not it was an historical issue or a moral issue that we now set aside was being concerned with external conformity and lacking in internal examination, rather than a valid question. What a crock to decide that that is the case for me without actually knowing me... Anything automaticaly becomes a matter of the weak and the strong as soon as someone gets ruffled feathers in here over another's practices of Christianity. Now that being said, if they thought I was weak why did they pass judgment on my opinions as the passage says? What does that say about who was weak? Paul also says, I Corinthians 10:29,30 I mean not your own conscience, but the other man's; for why is my freedom judged by another's conscience? If I partake with thankfulness, why am I slandered concerning that for which I give thanks? So in here I won't be talking about this any more unless others want to talk about it. But outside of here it's a non issue and I don't have to change out here AND I DON'T GO AROUND ADVOCATING HATS, that was never the case in here or out of here. I received an email from a Torah Observant Christian from the forum who stated that they got a bunch of flack for being a Sabbath keeper and for being Torah Observant. This person no longer posts very much because of being talked about in notes not directed at them (which is what also happened to me) and because of derisive comments. What happened to them and what happened to me is unacceptable behavior according to the rules of this site. If you go all the way through the posts you will see unwarranted humor, which is discouraged by this site, and derisive and or challenging comments intended to put me in my place. That is unacceptable behavior again. God, Bless, Tamara God, Bless, Tamara |

217 | Can we enter the Kingdom now? | Matt 6:33 | Tamara Brewington | 204231 | ||
No problem about the time frame answering a post, most people are working stiffs. Working backwards here; 1)Ephesians 1:13,14 In Him, you aslo, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation - having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise, who is given as a pledge of our inheritance, with a view to the redemption of God's own possession, to the praise of His glory. Contrary to popular belief based on Acts 2:38, this scripture states that as soon as you hear the message of the gospel, having believed, you are sealed in the Holy Spirit. Try this one as well; Acts 10:34-48 in this passage Cornelius and his whole household hear the gospel and even before Peter can finish preaching it everyone is saved having believed and the Holy Spirit entered them before they were able to be baptized in water. So according to these two scriptures it is possible to receive the Holy Spirit because you believe the message of the gospel without first being baptized. 2)There is the kingdom of the devil composed of demons and this earth which he rules. And there is the kingdom of God which is composed of every angel that did not fall who serve God and every saint who got saved, both OT and NT whether dead or alive. Both kingdoms are spiritual kingdoms, on this I believe we agree. 3)Pilate was asking Jesus if He was king of the Jews because the only legal king was Ceasar and to claim another king was treason. So Jesus says His kingdom is not of this world (inhabitants #2889, world) and at the end of verse 18:35 it does not say realm actualy it says hence (not from either side, #1782, hence). You seem to be pointing out a difference between earth and world as making a difference about where Jesus kingdom was while He was walking around on earth. Luke 17:21 says that behold the kingdom is in your midst because Jesus is the ruler of the kingdom and where ever He is is where the kingdom resides. His kingdom is spiritual, yes and we enter it when we get saved and the Holy Spirit enters in, but it goes with His where ever He goes. Right now at this very moment the whole world or earth, I am using them interchangeably, belongs to Satan, the world as it is now is ruled by Satan. Jesus even says Satan is the king of this world. This world does not become the part of the kingdom of Jesus until He comes back and sets up His kingdom, which He took with Him to heaven. This is what I meant by when Jesus was walking around the kingdom was in their midst and that Jesus was preaching the kingdom is at hand, it means He is in their midst as the ruler of that kingdom and their salvation has come. John said John came baptizing with water, but that Jesus would baptize with the Holy Spirit. We enter into the kingdom through the baptism of the Holy Spirit of Jesus, not water by John. We get baptized in obedience to Christ as an outward sign of our death and resurrection in Christ. Not everyone sees John 3:5 as that the water is referring to water baptism, some of us see it as the water of the womb becuase Nicodemus had just asked if one has to go second time into his mother's womb. Remember Jesus baptism is not with water but with the Holy Spirit. Jesus even goes on to say in John 3:6 that that which is born of the flesh is flesh and that which is born of the spirit is spirit. Some of us take that to mean that the water of the womb only births flesh but that the spirit births spirit. 4)The Israelites were well familiar with the term Son of Man (see a commentary or two an exegetical one not a devotional one) and understood it to mean the Messiah. The Pharisees, scribes and Sadducees understood the Son of God to mean that Jesus was saying He was equal to God and was therefore also God, see John 5:18-23 and that is why they killed Him for blasphemy. The Jews had no concept of their Messiah also being God, to them Messiah was called the Son of Man and they were expecting him. They were not expecting the Son of God a human equal to God because He was of the same material and nature as God. The fact is the Jews were fighting the idea that Jesus was their Messiah and rejecting the idea altogether that He was God. See Mathew 16:13,14 for who the crowds were saying the Son of Man was the commentators say that the reason for this is becuase some though Elijah was coming back to establish the kingdom and some thought that John the Baptist had come to establish the kingdom and others were waiting for one of the prophets to come and establish the kingdom.

218 | How do these accounts reconcile? | Bible general Archive 4 | Tamara Brewington | 204206 | ||
Ok Doc point taken, when we evangelize our sucess depends not on whether they take the word they received and get saved, but whether or not we did what we were commanded. Is that why you included Luke 17:9,10? Oh, my I hope you don't think I was looking for browny points... Someone else who looked at the tracts felt it was too much information at one time.

Dear Jamison, plese don't keep quiet! This is an open forum and I am willing to hear what other Christians veiw things like. I don't know which part of the thread you caught, somewhere in there I acknowledged that they get this belief from a number of verses later on in the thread. In that same note I said that Jesus used the word sleep as a euphimism and that so did those in the OT use it as a euphimism. Somehow we need to find out not what our context is based on our theology, but what the historical context of the authors and the subjects of the stories were in order to understand how they were using the words. That should be driving how we understand what they said, not our theology today. It is your business if you see something say it, we are all trying to understand the Bible, there is room for unity in tolerance and room for unity in coming to understanding what each of us views things like. God Bless, Tamara | ||||||
