21 | How do we OBTAIN mercy? Hebrews 4:16 | Matt 5:7 | Glory Bound | 129975 | ||
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: for all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God. Deu 4:31 (For the LORD thy God is a merciful God;) he will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which he sware unto them. We obtain mercy simply because "the LORD thy God is a merciful God" Mercy is obtained through the blood of Jesus. GB |

23 | how do i pray for help? | Matt 6:9 | Glory Bound | 130618 | ||
It has been said that the Lord is as close as the tip of the tongue, or He is as close as ones knees to the ground. I attest that He is even closer than that, for according to scripture, He has written His Word in the hearts of His people. We are to pray without ceasing. This is not that our every moment is to be spent on our knees in prayer. What it is is that we are to constantly praise Him, thank Him and make prayerful supplications (to ask humbly and earnestly of), throughout the day. I firmly believe the answer to your question lies in Matthew chapter 6. If for no one else other than yourself and your loved ones, consider 2 Timothy 2:15 in the KJV May God Bless, protect, watch over and be with you and yours. GB. |

24 | What is the correct way to pray | Matt 6:9 | Glory Bound | 132395 | ||
Hi Lorenzo, and welcome to the family of God. Concerning prayer and how to pray, I love the sayings that “the Lord is as close as our knees are to the ground,” or “He is as close as the whispered prayer.” I am sure you will hear many opinions on prayer however, I would state that if you are sincere, which I am sure you are, the best place to get your answer is in scripture itself. Stay away from those whose primary concern is relieving you of your money. Don’t let them fool you. Let me quote what our Savior stated concerning the matter of prayer. After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. Mat 6:9-13 You may wish to study Matthew chapter 6, for it should answer all many of your questions concerning prayer. Though I personally love repeat the above, and often do when the words simply aren’t there, we are not to constantly repeat a particular prayer as though we were a record player. We are to speak to the Father as we would, one to another, in the name of His Son, and directly to the Son, Jesus, as though they were right there with us, for they are. Please consider the following. Many will have what they consider the correct answers to spiritual questions. Many got their answers from many such as themselves. The one true and rock solid place to get the correct answer scripture. I recommend “eSword.” You can download it for FREE at http://www.e-sword.net/support.html . It contains various versions of scripture, Biblical dictionaries, commentaries, and many more useful study tools. There are even versions Españole. This software is to the Bible what Windows is to the computer. You can find any passage you wish without even knowing scripture. All you need is to know a couple words in the verse. The following is an excerpt from Matthew Henry concerning The Lords Prayer, which I just quoted: compliments of “e-Sword.” Christ saw it needful to show his disciples what must commonly be the matter and method of their prayer. Not that we are tied up to the use of this only, or of this always; yet, without doubt, it is very good to use it. It has much in a little; and it is used acceptably no further than it is used with understanding, and without being needlessly repeated. The petitions are six; the first three relate more expressly to God and his honour, the last three to our own concerns, both temporal and spiritual. This prayer teaches us to seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and that all other things shall be added. After the things of God's glory, kingdom, and will, we pray for the needful supports and comforts of this present life. Every word here has a lesson in it. We ask for bread; that teaches us sobriety and temperance: and we ask only for bread; not for what we do not need. We ask for our bread; that teaches us honesty and industry: we do not ask for the bread of others, nor the bread of deceit, Pro_20:17; nor the bread of idleness, Pro_31:27, but the bread honestly gotten. We ask for our daily bread; which teaches us constantly to depend upon Divine Providence. We beg of God to give it us; not sell it us, nor lend it us, but give it. The greatest of men must be beholden to the mercy of God for their daily bread. We pray, Give it to us. This teaches us a compassion for the poor. Also that we ought to pray with our families. We pray that God would give it us this day; which teaches us to renew the desires of our souls toward God, as the wants of our bodies are renewed. As the day comes we must pray to our heavenly Father, and reckon we could as well go a day without food, as without prayer. We are taught to hate and dread sin while we hope for mercy, to distrust ourselves, to rely on the providence and grace of God to keep us from it, to be prepared to resist the tempter, and not to become tempters of others. Here is a promise, If you forgive, your heavenly Father will also forgive. We must forgive, as we hope to be forgiven. Those who desire to find mercy with God, must show mercy to their brethren. Christ came into the world as the great Peace-maker, not only to reconcile us to God, but one to another. Till that great and final day; May God Bless, protect, watch over and be with you and yours. In Christ, our Savior GB |

25 | Can the soul actually be destroyed? | Matt 10:28 | Glory Bound | 130235 | ||
Only by He who made it in the first place, yet He has stated that the distruction of the soul will be eternal. This is the second death in the lake of fire and brimstone. ETERNAL DAMNATION! That's a long time to suffer in a lake of fire with the meanest of the mean and dumbest of the dumb. If you haven't accepted Jusus Christ, which are you? ALL who do not accept the sin debt paid by Jesus Christ on the cross at Calvary on their behalf can be categorized in one of the two above categories. This sounds crude, but it is a fact without the rosy coverings. GB |

26 | What does the bible say about purgatory? | Matt 12:32 | Glory Bound | 130810 | ||
Forgive me, but to put it bluntly; If one tends to depend solely on others for their spiritual nourishment and does not, at the very least, make an attempt to adhere to 2 Timothy 2:15, thus learning to feed themselves, they are quite likely be led there. GB |

27 | Excommunication. Is it for today? | Matt 18:15 | Glory Bound | 130447 | ||

30 | Is Jesus being called God or a God? | John 1:1 | Glory Bound | 129647 | ||
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. John 1:1-4 Our savior said in John 10:30, I and my Father are one. My friend, your friend "the Jehovah's Witnesses" is a wolf in sheep's clothing. He may seem sincere, but it is of a certainty that if he is a JW, he has been thoroughly brainwashed. If you do not wish to be done likewise, avoid any discussion of scripture with him. Jesus stated the above. He also told Phillip when he had asked him to show them the Father "Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?" John 14:9 My advise is that anyone who is not thoroughly familiar with scripture on a first hand basis, "not someone else's teachings on scripture," avoid any discussions with JW concerning scripture, for they are so sly and, no matter how wise you may consider yourself, they will have your mind so confused, you will not even know what has gotten hold of you. And believe me... what gets hold of you will not be something spoken kindly of in scripture... They can, and would confuse even the elect, if it were possible. Dear friend. Scriptural debates are enlightening and uplifting. That is IF they are among believers, "for where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them."Mat 18:20 Until you are thoroughly prepared with the full armor of God, stick to the Christian camp Dear Soul, or you will be ravaged by the wolves.

31 | is jesus god | John 1:1 | Glory Bound | 129648 | ||
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. Who is "The Father" if not God? Joh 10:30 I and my Father are one. Do you still need to ask that question? Actually He is not god. He is God. The God. The one and only God of gods and King of kings. GB |

32 | Understanding Psalms 45 | John 1:1 | Glory Bound | 129772 | ||
Here is what Matthew Henry states concerning Ps 45. I can think of no better way to put it. Psalms 45 - This psalm is an illustrious prophecy of Messiah the Prince: it is all over gospel, and points at him only, as a bridegroom espousing the church to himself and as a king ruling in it and ruling for it. It is probable that our Saviour has reference to this psalm when he compares the kingdom of heaven, more than once, to a nuptial solemnity, the solemnity of a royal nuptial, Mat_22:2; Mat_25:1. We have no reason to think it has any reference to Solomon's marriage with Pharaoh's daughter; if I thought that it had reference to any other than the mystical marriage between Christ and his church, I would rather apply it to some of David's marriages, because he was a man of war, such a one as the bridegroom here is described to be, which Solomon was not. But I take it to be purely and only meant of Jesus Christ; of him speaks the prophet this, of him and of no other man; and to him (Psa_45:6, Psa_45:7) it is applied in the New Testament (Heb_1:8), nor can it be understood of any other. The preface speaks the excellency of the song (Psa_45:1). The psalm speaks, I. Of the royal bridegroom, who is Christ. 1. The transcendent excellency of his person (Psa_45:2). 2. The glory of his victories (Psa_45:3-5). 3. The righteousness of his government (Psa_45:6, Psa_45:7). 4. The splendour of his court (Psa_45:8, Psa_45:9). II. Of the royal bride, which is the church. 1. Her consent gained (Psa_45:10, Psa_45:11). 2. The nuptials solemnized (Psa_45:12-15). 3. The issue of this marriage (Psa_45:16, Psa_45:17). In singing this psalm our hearts must be filled with high thoughts of Christ, with an entire submission to and satisfaction in his government, and with an earnest desire of the enlarging and perpetuating of his church in the world. To the chief musician upon Shoshannim, for the sons of Korah, Maschil. A song of loves. GB |

33 | Born of the water means? | John 3:5 | Glory Bound | 134166 | ||
Joh 3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. Joh 3:6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. A twofold explanation of the "new birth," so startling to Nicodemus. To a Jewish ecclesiastic, so familiar with the symbolical application of water, in every variety of way and form of expression, this language was fitted to show that the thing intended was no other than a thorough spiritual purification by the operation of the Holy Ghost.

35 | Is Jesus just the vessel, not prayed to? | John 10:30 | Glory Bound | 131018 | ||
I do not think it matters if we pray to the Father in Jesus' name, or if we simply pray to Jesus Himself, for Jesus stated, "I and my Father are one." Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. Joh 14:6 Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. Mat 10:32 All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him. Mat 11:27 The Son HAS revealed Him through His Word. We have only to read it. Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 2Ti 2:15 GB |

37 | What is meant by the' greater sin'? | John 19:11 | Glory Bound | 131133 | ||
Pilate had not personally witnessed the miracles Jesus had performed. The people had. It was the same people who had witnessed the miracles of Christ who cried "Crucify him, crucify him." It would appear that all sins are not equal, but some more heinous than others; some comparatively as gnats, others as camels; some as motes in the eyes, others as beams; It was those who personally witnessed Jesus' miracles, who had falsely accused and delivered him to Pilate who had not witnessed the miracles, who had "the greater sin." GB |

38 | Jesus' resurrected body? | John 20:27 | Glory Bound | 133911 | ||
With the exception of the infirmities inflicted, Jesus' resurrected body was as it was while he walked on earth. It is apparent that though he bore no ailments, he did bare the scars thereof. John 20:27 Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing. He was inviting "doubting" Thomas to check out the nail holes in His hands; the hole in His side made by the soldier with his spear when they removed him from the cross, and to BELIEVE. GB |

39 | Difference between christian/ disciple | Acts 11:26 | Glory Bound | 130471 | ||
"Should we follow jesus teachings are something that man made up." Are you attempting to set up another "soap box"? If so, please learn to indent and capitolize where required. I am proud to be called a Christian! I'm not necessarily proud of the fact that many who profess Christianity know very little, other than what has been so puffed up by mans leaven and, or ignorance, false teachings and divisiveness, that they bring shame to the name. This is why those who are called, are called also to "fight the good fight and profess a good profession." GB |
