21 | Son of man? | Dan 7:13 | compudex | 109815 | ||
welcome pgs, First you must understand exactly who Jesus is. Jesus is, was, God in the flesh. What you read in the scriptures about Jesus is really about God the Father. Jesus is the Word of the Father. The Father is the all, immutable power of the entire time-line, creator, and author of everything that has ever been or will ever be. Jesus is that part of God that was manifested to men. If you read about Jesus, you are reading about the Father. The Father is He that is in control of all things. God is Spirit. Jesus was flesh. Jesus is that part of God until He took upon Himself flesh, then He became Jesus. Jesus said, what I speak is that which I have heard from the Father. Jesus is the Word of the Father. Jesus is the Flesh into which we can see the characteristics of the Father. We see the Father by what we see in Jesus. Did He condemn? Did He kill? Did He inflict injury? Answer this: What was the purpose for God to come to Earth? God came to Earth to let man know that he had a friend in the heavens that was in love with His creation and that He would not let them go until they understood what He expected of them and that men might know Him. He gave us the choice to select good or evil. The “son of man” was born of simple man; He was debased by a simple and lowly place of birth, a stable, and a simple life, a carpenter. He was not anything special. Isaiah tells us that He was not a good-looking man that anyone should desire Him. (Isa 53:2) For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. He came to us as any other man. We would not know Him from any other man walking down the street. He did not display Himself (no ego). Time and time again He asked for no recognition. As being called the “son of man”, He was the lowliest of the lowly. Born in a stable by a couple that was being scrutinized as having sex before marriage and surely the talk of the town. Son of man was the son of any ordinary couple, and the son of any one that loves God. The son of man that will and would take upon Himself to be obedient to the God that He was raised to believe in and had faith in, as a human. Even though He was God He took upon Himself the ordinary, the susceptible human traits that we have. (Heb 2:16) For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham. He took upon Himself the seed of a man, the seed of the promise (Abraham). The promise being that in a simple man that Loved and listened to the Father and did the will of the Father no matter what, He was willing to do the same because of His love for the Father and His love for the creation of man and man himself. (Rev 3:12) Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name. May the light of God lead you! |

22 | LONG ABANDONED WIFE: Can she remarry? | Matt 19:9 | compudex | 101576 | ||
In your question you use the word "wife". Does this mean she is still married? In any event: (Mat 19:9) And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery. |

24 | Did Jesus teach hate? | Luke 14:26 | compudex | 101202 | ||
One opinion: Jesus was eating and talking with the chief Pharisees and He knew there hearts and their deeds. The Scripture says they were watching Him. Jesus talked about how they lifted themselves up too much. Then one of them said (14:15) "Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God." Jesus responded to this platitude with the parable of a great supper. I think Jesus was relating to the Pharisees (because they knew the old testament) the account in Duet. 13:6-8* where it condemns putting other gods before the Lord. And when the bidden to the supper parable all had excuses not to come to the supper, in essence, is what they were doing. Putting there own interests before the Lord's. And with that, the word 'hate' is well used. And it doesn't conflict with the Commandments in that cense. *Deu 13:6 If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, which is as thine own soul, entice thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which thou hast not known, thou, nor thy fathers; |

25 | Insufficient grace? | Luke 14:26 | compudex | 101644 | ||
May I interject? You said, "So how do I get myself clean so that I too am holy and pure like God." You said, "But Pastor, don't I have to clean up my act before I can come to Jesus?" You said, "...There is not ONE thing that I can do to make myself clean before God. All I can do is to trust Jesus?" You said, "Now what do I do?" Because of that last statement is the problem. Like there was some kind of formula. You use the word "clean" in three of your statements. So, you must be aware that something is wrong. Are you coming out of fear or perhaps convienence. Or do you really understand the gravity of things and you are truely thankful for what Jesus has done for you. If you say you are thankful, then the "Now what do I do" becomes "I will now do whatever I can" for the One that has given me this great gift. Because, now I know that He loves me. For I was dead and now I am alive, I have been born again. (Psa 34:18) The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit. (Those who are pressed and afflicted, by the sorrow of their heart under which their spirits are broken. To these the Lord is "nigh"; not in a general way only, as he is to all men, being God omnipresent, but in a special manner; he comes and manifests himself to them, calls to them, in a gracious way, pours in all of his love, and binds up their broken hearts, comes and dwells with them. He does not pass by them nor neglect them.) And now I love Him. Now, I will keep myself clean because I love Him, not because I have to but because I want to. Now you are ready. Into His fellowship, a partnership, an awareness of worth to Him, and you know within that new life that has entered you, there is nothing, nothing can take that love from your heart. That kind of love that is more than a wife, or a father or even life itself. Shout it from the roof tops, "Look what the Lord has done"! Shout it in the market place, "Jesus Is Lord"! Because I love Him and He has cleansed me. How did this all happen? Somebody told me about Him. |

26 | ABANDONED WIFE: Can remarry? | John 14:27 | compudex | 101602 | ||
Dear arapga, By your description she already knows the answer. If she is able she could file for divorce of adultery on behalf of her husband's conduct. She could then get some help with child support. But, again it would be most convenient for her to stay divorced. If she does not ponder on her estate and can look straight into the heavens and say, "not as I will but your will be done" then she will reap much reward. One of those rewards will be peace of mind. And the security that she has done the right thing. If not, both parties, her and the churchmate, will be in jeapordy of willful sin. The whole congregation of her church and his church should bombard heaven with pray for the willful husband. Call in your prayer request to as many pray lines you can think of and get this man to the light. The single churchmate should be the one to spearhead this quest, if he loves her as stated. The parties will be in double jeopardy because their union would be without faith and so they will compound their error even more. Praying for you! |

28 | HELP ME PLEASE...I am not content! | Rom 12:1 | compudex | 101920 | ||
Dear Brother, As the other brother has indicated: This is a very hard subject to be addressed over the internet because you are going to receive advise that does not understand the pain that you are in. By your plea, you know God and you know what He thinks about this. But, brother, and I am NOT trying to push you aside, you need to get to a pastor, meet with him face to face, where he can council you and be your friend. The type written words that you will receive here will not do YOU justice because they are without knowledge of you. The internet cannot see you as a person. You need a personal friend that can openly talk with you and you with them. A person who has the kingdom of God in mind. Seek out a pastor of good reputation. He has been put in his position as a shepard. And he can be more of a friend to you than a computer screen. Even though, the Spirit of those you seek advise from on this forum will most likely be worthy. It still won't be the personal one on one help that you will need. Since you are calling out, we can see that you are truly sincere. Since you are willing to proclaim this shows a heart that wants to be right with God. If your local pastor turns you away, he is not worthy of God's callling. Seek another. This is a very deep rooted thing. Plus dear brother, I would fast and pray. For this kind of spirit does not come out without prayer and fasting. You need one on one personal contact with someone you can trust. Again, the internet is not the place. My prayer will go up to the Most High for you! Please, dear one, report your progress to us that we may rejoice with you. Peace to you! |

29 | Christian Opposition Polictian SINNED! | Rom 13:1 | compudex | 101135 | ||
Dear Pratical Bible Student: Could you clarify your question? Is it that you know someone that is in "the opposition party"? Does this mean that you are in the other opposition party? Then the term 'christian politican' is almost a contradiction in itself. But, assuming one christian was of one party and another christian was of the other party, the Scriptures come to mind that one of them is not like minded. "Of one mind": the right way! 2Corinthians 13:11 Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you. Philippians 1:27 Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel; Philippians 2:2 Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. 1Peter 3:8 Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous: "Definition": Politician pol·i·ti·cian (p¼l”¹-t¹sh“…n) n. 1.a. One who is actively involved in politics, especially party politics. b. One who holds or seeks a political office. 2. One who seeks personal or partisan gain, often by scheming and maneuvering: “Mothers may still want their favorite sons to grow up to be President, but . . . they do not want them to become politicians in the process” (John F. Kennedy). 3. One who is skilled or experienced in the science or administration of government. Unfortunately the very word 'politician' has a bad connotation. Normally we think of a politician in the light of definition number 2 above. "Of one mind": the wrong way! Revelation 17:13 These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast. So, I guess you would have to judge the intent of their heart. I am glad I do not have to be the judge! Peace! |

30 | John 3:1-7 how can you say it's not true | 1 Cor 1:17 | compudex | 111337 | ||
Dear forum, Didn't you just say that the great commission was to preach and baptize? So now, does Paul call Jesus a liar? (1Co 1:17 KJV) "For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect." What do we say, "For Christ sent me not to baptize"? Did Paul know more than Christ? STOP FIGHTING AMOUNGST YOURSELVES ABOUT BAPTISM!!! The bantering back and forth does not exhort the church. If any unbeliever is looking at these posts they would think that even the So-Called-Church cannot come to an understanding. (1Co 1:14 KJV) I thank God that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and Gaius; Why would Paul say this? Well, look at these posts. Like a bunch of felines sitting on the backyard fence catting and meowing at each other. Brethren, be like minded, Christ NEVER condemned anyone if they believed in Him!! So why do you? Written in love, compudex |

31 | Wating place before heaven? | 2 Corinthians | compudex | 100249 | ||
Jesus told the man on the cross he would be with Him that day. (Luke 23:43) Paul tells us that being absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. (2Cor 5:6-8) Paul also states that when Jesus returns he will bring those that have passed on with Him. (1Thes 4:13-17) |
||||||
32 | why do we baptize differently? | Eph 2:9 | compudex | 100997 | ||
The word trinity is a theological term meaning 'The union of three divine persons, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, in one God'. If you are a believer and die before being baptized God has promised you eternal life. Otherwise there would be a 'work' involved in order to be saved. God said, "Not through works lest anyone should boast." Your salvation does not depend on any physical labor that you can do. Baptism in the New testament is 'sort of' like circumcision was in the Old Testament. It is an outward sign that an inner work had been done, a pact between you and God, being buried with Christ and rising into a new life committed to Him. Being baptized in Jesus' name and being baptized in the name of the Father, Son and the Holy Ghost are really the same thing. You are being baptized by someone who has the authority (in the name of) given to him by God. Jesus said whatever you do in 'my name' the Father will do it. That is, whatever you do that is in accordance to the will of the Father, will be done. Not, whatever is self exhaulting. Question: After Jesus rose to sit on the right hand of the Father, were the disciples rebaptized in His name? Are they saved? |

33 | Spiritually, who are the seven churches? | 2 Tim 3:16 | compudex | 101403 | ||
Spiritually - the bride. For we today are the fruit of the laborers that have sewen in the fields all these many years since then. So reading and heeding the Words written to the Seven Churches has to do with us also. 2Ti 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: |

34 | seven positions or classes of saints? | 2 Tim 3:16 | compudex | 101417 | ||
It is interesting to note that John was commanded to write down these things. Seven times write to the 'angel of the church' (singular). Then at the end of each letter we read - "he that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit (singular) saith unto the churches (plural). If you can bare it - I guess you could say that one could find themselves in each of these positions or states. NOTE: If any other person is reading this, Please put all that is said into context (read the previous threads). I am not writing any kind of presidence for a doctrine here. Personally and truthfully - I have re-read these letters again, and, during my lifetime, I could have been a member of each of these churches. Only by the Grace of the Cross are we here! Peace! |
