21 | Greetings Searcher | Is 57:1 | mbooker | 46387 | ||
Thanks for the scriptures Searcher. John 5:2-3 tells of a great multitude that lay in the 5 porches. John 5:6 tells me that 'Jesus saw him lie'. It doesn't not say 'He saw the multitude'. The reason I point this out is because in other places in scripture, it tells us that Jesus saw the multitute and healed them: But when Jesus knew it, he withdrew himself from thence: and great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all; Matt 12:15 And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick. Matt 14:14 And great multitudes came unto him, having with them those that were lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and cast them down at Jesus' feet; and he healed them: Matt 15:30 ***************** I agree that if someone does not get healed, that does not invalidate Abba Father, the Lord that heals. ***************** How do we reconcile Mark 13:22 (false Christs and false prophets showing signs and wonders) with Mark 16:17 'And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; they shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them, they shall lay hands on the sick and they shall recover'? False Christs and false prophets shall show signs and wonders but they that believe shall have signs following them. I would really love to devle into this one so that I can learn how to discern whether false Christs and prophets or those that believe are showing the signs and wonders. Was Jesus rebuking the man when he said 'Except you see signs and wonders, you will not believe'? The next thing Jesus says is 'Go your way, your son lives'. Did Jesus WANT this man to believe and thus he said 'your son lives' and the son lived? Also, I was not saying that I persay wants signs and wonders. I already believe in the Lord my GOD. I was just saying that if the Chruch as a whole exhibited the power that Christ did while he was here, would the unbelievers become believers? questions, questions, questions. I am full of them! :) Hope you are able to lend more scriptures to enlighten. Abba Father bless and keep you. |

22 | First Question | Is 57:1 | mbooker | 46477 | ||
Hey Brother John If we could, I'd like to take this one point at a time. If that's ok with you, here's my first question. Mark 16:17 caused you a great deal of trouble because you never saw it fulfilled in the lives of saints today. If you had seen it fulfilled in the lives of saints today, do you think your views would be different? I too wonder when I see something in scripture but then I don't see it in the lives of believers. Or the way I like to say it: 'When my life does not line up with scripture'. When my life does not line up with scripture, does that mean 'it's not GOD's will' or 'that went away with the early church'? I do not believe so. I have heard that explaination before, 'that went away with the early church'. I want to be sure I am not making excuses for why 'this or that' isn't manifested in my life when scripture says 'this or that' should be manifested in my life. After this point is exhaused, I'd like to talk about Mark 16:17 and it's connection to the gifts of the spirit. May you dwell in the secret place of the Most High. Abba Father bless and keep you. btw, just to let you know, I grew up in a Baptist church and still go to one. |

23 | Good morning Bro. John! | Is 57:1 | mbooker | 46544 | ||
Good Morning Brother John I have a friend, a sister in Christ. I spoke with her this morning and she has seen a man's leg healed. It was shorter than the other and she said he was prayed for and she saw his leg grow. She has also seen demons being casted out. I also heard John Hagee's testmony about a time when he casted out a demon. With that said, Veronica (my friend) believes that Mark 16:17 is for today. So if she has seen Mark 16:17 and you and I haven't, what is the conclusion? If you believe it is not for today because you have not seen it and she believes it is for today because she has seen it, how do we reconcile that? I am so glad you mention john 14:12. I was thinking of that this morning. Jesus said 'He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also'. And I'm not even going to get into the greater works. Let's just deal with the works he did. When I read this scripture, I consider the works Jesus did. Heal, feed the hungry, teach, preach (those are the ones I can think of off the top of my head). Now Jesus said 'He that believeth on me, the works that I do SHALL he do also'. He did not say they might do the works, he said they SHALL do the works. Now, IF I believe on him and I don't do the works, then as you said 'the promise has fallen to the ground unfulfilled'. So did Jesus make a promise and not fulfill it? And again, if he said the works that he did, those that believed on him would do, then to me that means if he healed, then we heal, if he preached, then we preach, if he taught, then we teach. And again, if these things are not manifested, can it be possible that the problem lies with us? because I am not convinced that these things past away with the early church. If we can find in scripture when it was stated that these things would pass with the early church, then I would have scripture to renew my mind. I really feel uncomfortable basing my faith on what I see or don't see. I need to base it on what the word of GOD teaches. Maybe we can discuss the greater works later. Abba Father bless you! |

24 | Phillip | Is 57:1 | mbooker | 46565 | ||
He was talking to Phillip. And if in context, I am to conclude he was talking to the apostles, and thus only the apostles would do the works Jesus did, does that mean that verses 1-27 only apply to the apostles? | ||||||
25 | A Loving GOD Who Hates | Mal 1:3 | mbooker | 59942 | ||
Good Morning All! I have read this verse before and I did not understand how God, who is love, could hate. Last week, a sister came to me and asked if I had ever read the verse and I told her 'yes'. We looked up this verse in other versions and all used the word 'hate' except the NLT, which uses 'rejected'. We both want to understand how our loving God could hate. Does anyone have any insight into this verse? Thanks in advance to those who may response. Abba Father bless... |

26 | Which teaching | Matt 14:29 | mbooker | 65733 | ||
What specific teaching needs correcting using this passage of scripture? I ask the question because I do not want to make assumptions as to what teaching you are referring to :) | ||||||
27 | Rebuke or Appeal | Matt 28:19 | mbooker | 57096 | ||
Just a thought/question: After reading Titus 1:13-14, with emphasis on 'rebuke them sharply', I thought of Paul's letter to Philemon. chapter 1 vv 8-14: Therefore, though I have abundant boldness in Christ to charge you to do what is fitting and required and your duty to do, yet for love's sake I prefer to appeal to you just for what I am--I, Paul, an ambassador [of Christ Jesus] and an old man and now a prisoner for His sake also-- I appeal to you for my [own spiritual] child, Onesimus [meaning profitable], whom I have begotten [in the faith] while a captive in these chains. Once he was unprofitable to you, but now he is indeed profitable to you as well as to me. I am sending him back to you in his own person, [and it is like sending] my very heart. I would have chosen to keep him with me, in order that he might minister to my needs in your stead during my imprisonment for the Gospel's sake. But it has been my wish to do nothing about it without first consulting you and getting your consent, in order that your benevolence might not seem to be the result of compulsion or of pressure but might be voluntary [on your part]. And here is my question: Could it be that there are times when a sharp rebuke is necessary but there are also times when an appeal and not a charge/rebuke is necessary in order for the hearer to receive the correction? For me, that is an important thing - receiving the word/correction with understanding. Just a thought... :) Abba Father bless... |

28 | How did she know? | Mark 5:28 | mbooker | 57352 | ||
How did the woman wiht the issue of blood know that if she touched Jesus's garments, she would be made whole? Thanks in advance to those who may respond. Abba Father bless |
||||||
29 | Thanks | Mark 5:28 | mbooker | 57389 | ||
Hi SERENETIME and thanks for your response. I followed your post and understood but what I was wondering was HOW she knew touching Jesus' garments would make her whole. IE Did someone tell her... was she taught it as a child... had she read in the the Law of Moses... And Jesus called her daughter and I am wondering if she was a daughter of Abraham i.e. Jewish |

30 | Plucking Ears equals Breaking Sabbath | Luke 6:2 | mbooker | 74078 | ||
And it came to pass on the second sabbath after the first, that he went through the corn fields; and his disciples plucked the ears of corn, and did eat, rubbing them in their hands. Luke 6:1 Was the 'plucking of the ears' done by the disciples considered work? And if so, is that why some of the Pharisees asked 'Why do you do what is not lawful on the Sabbath?' |
||||||
31 | Did He break the sabbath or not? | Luke 6:7 | mbooker | 74077 | ||
Why did the scribes and pharisees consider healing on the sabbath a reason to accuse Jesus? Is it likely that they were going to accuse Him of breaking the sabbath? | ||||||
32 | A Good Baptist | Luke 10:29 | mbooker | 95115 | ||
As I was scanning through recent posts, I came across this: 'If you are a good Baptist...'. I then thought of a comment my boss said one day. 'I wasn't being a good Catholic'. I chuckled at the 'good Baptist' statement because the church I attend wears the label 'Missionary Baptist'. The statement also prompted two questions. 1. What does it mean to be a 'good Baptist' or a 'good Catholic' for that matter? 2. Do we have any scriptural basis for having demoninations? Thanks in advance to those who respond. |

33 | Where do they go | Luke 23:46 | mbooker | 66030 | ||
Good morning Brother Tim I read where you said 'Hell, as we commonly think of it, is empty right now except for certain fallen angels'. I thought that the lost went to 'Hell, as we commonly think of it' :) when they died. I drew this conclusion from: And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores, And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence. Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house: For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment. Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them. And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent. And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead. Luke 16:20-31 I do understand that Jesus taught in parables. If unbelievers don't go to ''Hell, as we commonly think of it' :) when they die, where do they go? It's nice to be able to dialouge with you again... :) Meredith |

34 | thanks hank | John 1:1 | mbooker | 56473 | ||
Thanks Hank I acknowledged my err in my post to roviear (Estelle) about the 'a God' and see that I should have typed just 'God' instead. Thanks for the correction. Abba Father Bless you... :) |

35 | Corrected post! sorry for err! | John 1:1 | mbooker | 56474 | ||
Correction ALERT!!! 'Likewise, if Jesus's father is God (and he is), that makes him God. Not The Most High God, but still God.' the 'a God' is corrected to 'God'. |

36 | Love Jesus before the Father loves me? | John 14:21 | mbooker | 56960 | ||
'whoever [really] loves Me will be loved by My Father' Can anyone expound to this part of the verse? Whenever I read it, I think 'OK. I have to keep Jesus' commands, then the Father will love me'. I can't reconciled this passage with John 3:16. 'For God so loved the world...'. And I John 4:10. 'Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins' thanks in advance to those who respond... |

37 | What day is 'that day'? | John 16:23 | mbooker | 73486 | ||
When Jesus said 'In that day', was 'that day' the time after his death, burial, resurrection and ascension? |

38 | How Did Simon Know - What Did He See | Acts 8:18 | mbooker | 76489 | ||
Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John: Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost: (For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.) Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost. And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles' hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money, Acts 8:14-18 How did Simon know that the Hoily Ghost was given? What did he see? |
||||||
39 | Which Law? | Acts 10:28 | mbooker | 74075 | ||
Which law (book and verse) was Peter refering to? | ||||||
40 | Literal translation | Romans | mbooker | 66913 | ||
Good Afternoon Brother Tim. I have heard people say 'in the Greek, it literally says...' and I see you used the term 'literal translation'. Where do you go to find the literal translation or what it 'literally says in the Greek'? I pray that you and yours are doing well today... Meredith |
