21 | Is believing the same as knowing? | Acts 15:11 | borgain | 65701 | ||
Hi MarieH The scripture that your daughter might be using or heard about may be the following: 1 John 2:3-5 Now by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments. 4He who says, "I know Him," and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 5But whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God is perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him. The is a big difference in the words know and believe for me, but because of the one the other happens. If you are married, you believe that your husband is faithfull (when you can not see what he is doing), but you also know him, what he likes and what he doesn't. To believe Heb 11 and as you said He died for us and He lives. Then to know Him means that you talk to Him i.e. have a relationship with Him, you know what He wants. To have a teachable spirit is vey important, if you cut with the sword(Bible) it cuts back aswell. It will not help to argue with your daugter, but pray FOR her and WITH her that she might see the truth throught the Word. Borgain Rom 8:16 The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God |

23 | Can we pray Romans 10:1 on the USA | Rom 10:1 | borgain | 66281 | ||
Hi Seneca Yes. 1 Tim 2: 3-5 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, 4who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. 5For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus, We had prayer meetings on Wednesday nights and some nights we went into the streets and started praying for the people whoe lived in a street or blocks. It was usually collective. Then the following months we could not keep up with all the visitors (from these streets/blocks) that wanted to know more. Some accepted Christ. Jesus died for every one, we can not be selective, to whom we want to proclaim the good new. What is impossible for us is possible for God. Borgain |

24 | is december 25th the day christ was born | Gal 4:4 | borgain | 68355 | ||
Hi 1 Cor 11:23-26 23 For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you: that the Lord Jesus on the same night in which He was betrayed took bread; 24and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, "Take, eat; this is My body which is broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me." 25In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me." 26For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death till He comes. This is the way Paul reminded the Corinthians and us to remember Jesus, and what He has done for us. Borgain |

25 | inmorality also if the couple will marry | Eph 5:31 | borgain | 63826 | ||
Hi fle Sex is the act of marriage. It is the seal of the covenant between husband and wife. They are then one after the act. Asking the question shows me the Holy Spirit, has already spoken to you in your heart(s) about it. Sex resembles our relationship with Christ. You can not ask Christ into our life without becoming saved. (A marriage certificate is only a legal document on earth.) Some other scripture Ex 22:16-17 Deut 20 Borgain |

26 | next step..? | Eph 5:31 | borgain | 63874 | ||
Hi I see a can of worms were opened, if you read some of the other posts. :-) With my first response to you, I tried to paint a picture of how important the act of sex is. Thus if you had sex with 10 different people you have married and divorced them all. If the reason for these persons were not marriage, but lust, then they have to repent - it sin. If the reason was marriage (which include the knowledge of what marriage is) and they seperate (divorce) and get another partner, and do the same thing again. They are busy with adultery. (Mat 5:27,28,32) The same as you can not become one with Christ and the world, that is adultery. Lets look at Jesus and the samaritan woman in John 4:16-18. 16Jesus said to her, "Go, call your husband, and come here." 17The woman answered and said, "I have no husband." Jesus said to her, "You have well said, "I have no husband,' 18for you have had five husbands, and the one whom you now have is not your husband; in that you spoke truly." You can have a sexual relationship and think it is marriage but it is not. So the next step to take for these believers is to take stock and see why it(sex) happened the first time, and take it from there. If it was because of lust etc. then repent, Jesus will forgive them and THEN let them consider what was done and set it right. Marriage is the union of two people thru God, and they can only come closer to each other thru Him and not of becuase of any commen things in their lifes. Thru marriage new life comes as we are "married" to Christ we become born again, the seed was planted, a new person is born and the cord attached to the old life is broken. (Resembles birth of a baby) So, they have to take stock and pray together, so that the Holy Spirit will reveal to them why it happen, what to do next. And as we become born again, tell it to the world thru as ceremony. In Christ Borgain (Some people went thru all the right steps, but still the word marriage is only a word and legal document) No one can throw stones, unless they are sinless, Jesus didn't even considered to judge that women brought to Him and the Jews, but only told her sin no more. |

27 | CAN WOMEN BE CHURCH LEADERS?? | 1 Tim 2:12 | borgain | 36243 | ||
Yes. Don't let man tell you what to do but the Holy Spirit. It is not about status but to be a servant. God uses anybody that's willing and available. If you look at the normal workings at/in a church some women are in the praise and worship team and LEADS the people into praise and worship (and are not quiet at all). There are also a lot of women as 'Sunday school' teachers, teaching boys and girls. Then there are the sisters unions, etc. where they are leaders. |

28 | Story to go with lesson | James 1:22 | borgain | 51470 | ||
Hi Welcome to the forum. The book of James is what you are looking for. James 1 : 22 - 25 22But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. 23For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror; 24for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was. 25But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does. James 2: 14 What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him? And I'm sure there will be a lot of replies or portions in the forum on the topics, if you use the search facility (on the Right) |
