21 | how do i get control of my will? | Colossians | hopalong | 207837 | ||
Welcome to the Army of God! make no mistake, we are at war against the world,the flesh and the devil.! Our enemy knows our weak spots and he uses them to break down our resistance. I know , because he has used them, not only on you, but on each and every person who has made Christ his king. As in all wars, there are those who are wounded (thats the bad news), the good news is that those who have been called by The KING, are never killed! Now, I am an old soldier, and I have been wound more times than I care to think about. Nevertheless, my advice is , don' t don't fall for the same trick twice. the enemy of your King will use the same tactics over and over again until they no longer work. His favorite temptation he used against our first parents in the garden. Which was to plant into their minds a doubt as to what God has said ! In the case of sexual sin, he says "whats wrong with looking at beautiful women on the internet? How can that be a sin? afterall, did't God create these women? It's a scam! Run as fast as you can to the Rock of your salvation where the enemy of your soul cannot you! There fortify yourself by learning how much your king loves you. PS don't sweat the smoking. It certainly is a bad habit, but it is not a sin. Fight the Good Fight, Hopalong |

22 | What does it mean to be poor in spirit? | Matthew | hopalong | 207454 | ||
Dear sunilpb426 To be "poor in spirit" is to be totaly dependent on Jesus. It is the realization of our own spiritual poverty. Rock of Ages, cleft for me, Let me hide myself in Thee; Let the water and the blood, From Thy wounded side which flowed, Be of sin the double cure; Save from wrath and make me pure. Not the labor of my hands Can fulfill Thy law’s demands; Could my zeal no respite know, Could my tears forever flow, All for sin could not atone; Thou must save, and Thou alone. Nothing in my hand I bring, Simply to the cross I cling; Naked, come to Thee for dress; Helpless look to Thee for grace; Foul, I to the fountain fly; Wash me, Savior, or I die. While I draw this fleeting breath, When mine eyes shall close in death, [originally When my eye-strings break in death] When I soar to worlds unknown, See Thee on Thy judgment throne, Rock of Ages, cleft for me, Let me hide myself in Thee. Martin Loyd-Jones has a wonderful book (Studies on the Sermon on the Mount) Welcome to our forum! Hopalong |

23 | Ezekiel's False Propheys Like Today? | Ezek 13:6 | hopalong | 207305 | ||
Dear Tumbleweed, My own thoughts on the subject are to put my confidence in God's Holy Bible alone. That does not mean that I don't seek guidence from my pastor or others that are more spirtualy mature than myself. Acts 2:38 Peter said to them, "Repent, and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. HOPPY ps I WOULD NOT PUT ANY STOCK IN THOSE WHO CLAIM THAT GOD SENT THEM A MESSAGE FOR YOU!HE IS CERTAINLY ABLE TO SEND A MESSGE TO YOU DIRECTLY. |

24 | Believing but Falling Away? | Heb 3:12 | hopalong | 206776 | ||
Hello and welcome Tumbleweed! THANK YOU FOR YOUR QUESTION. I do not believe that, a person that has an evil and unbelieving heart, can be described as being "In God". 2 Cor 5:17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come. God bless, Hopalong |

26 | Questions about being Saved | Bible general Archive 4 | hopalong | 206564 | ||
hsftang, Welcome! see if this article Helps. Hoppy Jesus is 100 percent God, 100 percent man It is vitl to be precise when we talk of the Person of Jesus Christ. Heresy looms large on either side of the biblical road, and many a soul has fallen in to its hellishly hewned ditches. Getting it right about Christ is not merely a job for elite theologians. All of us are called upon to proclaim, herald and worship the biblical Christ. Only the biblical Christ is worthy of worship. Only the biblical Christ can save. That's because the biblical Christ is the only one who truly exists. Jesus warned us that many false Christs would appear. This is the case in two ways: Firstly, there are false Christs who appear in human history to draw away disciples after themselves; secondly, there are false Christs erected in the minds of people, such as a Christ who is God but not man, or a man, but not God. Either kind is deadly to the soul. So who exactly is the biblical Christ? The scriptures reveal very clearly that He is God and He is man. He is not a concocted blend of God and man, being perhaps 50 percent God and 50 percent man. He is full and undiminished deity and true humanity - in one Person. Exactly how can this be understood? I came across a very helpful article on this theme today from Desiring God Ministries here . I recommend it highly. May the truths govern our thinking and guide our worship, as we do so in spirit and in truth. - Pastor John Samson Hoppy |

28 | Why is the Christian Church so divided? | Bible general Archive 4 | hopalong | 206363 | ||
Dear Brothers, TAKE HEART! Rom 8:28 And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. Rom 8:29 For those whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brethren; The true Church is not divided! Not in the eyes of Christ it is'nt. He knows His bride and when He returns for Her He will present her to His Father in all Her beauty and spotless perfection. Hoppy |

33 | Criteria for Permanence of Doctrine? | 2 Tim 2:15 | hopalong | 205888 | ||
Apostle's Creed I believe in God, the Father Almighty, the Creator of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord: Who was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended into hell. The third day He arose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty, whence He shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church,the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins,the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen. |

34 | how old is this world? | Genesis | hopalong | 203686 | ||
the following is from...gotquestions.org Ultimately, the age of the earth cannot be proven. Whether 6,000 years or 4.6 billion years – both viewpoints (and everything in between) rests on faith and assumptions. Those who hold to 4.6 billion years trust that methods such as radiometric dating are reliable, and that nothing has occurred in history that may have disrupted the normal decay of radio-isotopes. Those who hold to 6,000 years trust that the Bible is true, and that other factors explain the “apparent” age of the earth, such as the global flood, or God creating the universe in a state that “appears” to give it an very long age. As an example, God created Adam and Eve as fully-grown adult human beings. If a doctor were to have examined Adam and Eve on the day of their creation, the doctor would have estimated their age at 20 years (or whatever age they appeared to be) - when, in fact, Adam and Eve were less than one day old. Whatever the case, there is always good reason to trust the Word of God over the words of atheistic scientists with an evolutionary agenda. |

36 | Was the Holy Spirit present in OT? | 2 Thess 2:6 | hopalong | 203394 | ||
For what does the Scripture say? "And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness." 4Now to the one who works, his wage is not reckoned as a favor, but as what is due. 5But to the one who does not work, but believes in Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is reckoned as righteousness, 6just as David also speaks of the blessing upon the man to whom God reckons righteousness apart from works: 7"Blessed are those whose lawless deeds have been forgiven, and whose sins have been covered. 8"Blessed is the man whose sin the Lord will not take into account" (Rom. 4:3-8). Dear Searcher, Thanks for brining up this question. Jesus taught "John 3:5 Jesus answered, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom of God." Therefore my conclusion is that...Yes, The Holy Sprit was not only present, but active in raising to spiritual life those whom The Father had chosen to be His own. |

FyRobert, In response to your question, I say that our worship services must be focused solely on the glorification of God. Having said that...I also would point out that it would not be inaproppriate to honor fathers or mothers PRIOR to the commencement Of the service itself. Thanks for asking, what I beleive, is an important question, Hopalong |
