21 | Was Jesus tempted with fornication | John 21:25 | kw5kw | 155678 | ||
What you are asking for is not there. However the passage that you quoted states that He (Jesus) was indeed tempted in every way. Therefore, you can conclude from the Holy Scriptures that Jesus was indeed tempted in every way, and yes that would include sexual temptations. Heb 4:15 For we have not a high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. (KJV) For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin. (NASB) For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet was without sin. (NIV) For we do not have a High Priest Who is unable to understand and sympathize and have a shared feeling with our weaknesses and infirmities and liability to the assaults of temptation, but One Who has been tempted in every respect as we are, yet without sinning. (AMP) If you've ever been tempted with anything, you can rest asurred that our LORD Jesus was tempted in the same manner. Except, HE was able to say no to the devil each and every time... Matt 4:1-11 to illustrate. Russ |

22 | church attendance all but cease in UK? | Rom 1:21 | kw5kw | 142447 | ||
Greetings Pastor Glenn, Unlike it was in the years that Rev. C. H. Spurgeon was packing in overflowing attendance each sermon. From http://www.spurgeon.org/aboutsp.htm "... The congregation quickly outgrew their building, moved to Exeter Hall, then to Surrey Music Hall. In these venues Spurgeon frequently preached to audiences numbering more than 10,000—all in the days before electronic amplification. In 1861 the congregation moved permanently to the newly constructed Metropolitan Tabernacle." ... (Tabernacle capacity: 6,000 people, with 5,500 Seated, 500 Standing Room; Tabernacle Dimensions: 146' long, 81' wide, 68' high) And he complained about attendance falling off from what it was 150 to 200 years previous. your brother in Christ, Russ |

24 | Paid ministry | Rom 10:9 | kw5kw | 155744 | ||
Obi 1... The paid minestry goes all the way back to the time of Moses. When Moses led the Isralites out of bondage, God set up some special rules, you might have heard of them... they're called the 10 commandments. You can find them in Exodus chapter 20. Reading on in the book of Exodus, you will find that God gave the Isralites a bunch of rules, cultural rules and worship rules. The 12 tribes of Israel were also divided up into seperate areas, one to lead, one to follow, one to always be on the left, one to be always on the left, etc. And one to handle the worship of God and to carry the ark. Deu 10:8 At that time the LORD separated the tribe of Levi, to bear the ark of the covenant of the LORD, to stand before the LORD to minister unto him, and to bless in his name, unto this day. We find by reading further: Deu 18:1-8 The priests the Levites, and all the tribe of Levi, shall have no part nor inheritance with Israel: they shall eat the offerings of the LORD made by fire, and his inheritance. Therefore shall they have no inheritance among their brethren: the LORD is their inheritance, as he hath said unto them. And this shall be the priest's due from the people, from them that offer a sacrifice, whether it be ox or sheep; and they shall give unto the priest the shoulder, and the two cheeks, and the maw. The firstfruit also of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the first of the fleece of thy sheep, shalt thou give him. For the LORD thy God hath chosen him out of all thy tribes, to stand to minister in the name of the LORD, him and his sons for ever. And if a Levite come from any of thy gates out of all Israel, where he sojourned, and come with all the desire of his mind unto the place which the LORD shall choose; Then he shall minister in the name of the LORD his God, as all his brethren the Levites do, which stand there before the LORD. They shall have like portions to eat, beside that which cometh of the sale of his patrimony. " So the tribe of Levi had no land, no other way to sustain themselves. God had made them dependant upon the offerings of the rest of Israel. God got his offerings, and the tribe of Levi were sustained by God through the offerings of the people. This is why our ministers are paid by the church. This is why our ministers should not have an outside job. Your Brother in Christ, Russ |

26 | Patience of Job | James 5:11 | kw5kw | 173067 | ||
James v:11 Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy. KJV As you know, we consider blessed those who have persevered. You have heard of Job's perseverance and have seen what the Lord finally brought about. The Lord is full of compassion and mercy. NIV KJV: Patience; Amp: were steadfast/endured; NASB: endurance; NIV: perseverance The Greek word that the KJV version translates as ‘patience’ and the NIV translates as perseverance is: hupomone:(Strong’s G5281; GK# G5705) hoop-om-on-ay) and is translated to English properly as: “steadfastness; perseverance; patience; standing firm; constancy; endurance.(Using Thayer, Strongs-NIV, Strongest Strongs-KJ, Vines)” The Greek words similarly corresponding. Distinct from the Greek word for “patience” which is found in James 5:10 (makrothumia: (Strong 3115) mak-roth-oo-mee-ah). This means that the translators for the KJV that followed the Bishop’s bible which had mistranslated the Latin Vulgate here. To be properly rendered into English, we must look at hupomone as one who represents the characteristic of a man who is unmoved from his deliberate worship of the LORD. It describes one who does not allow himself to be swayed from his love of God no matter what, no matter how, no matter when. Even though the great difficulties of loosing not only his daughters but his sons as well and then all of his great material possessions as well—and all of this in just the space of a few hours in one day. In all of this Job questioned his being for living, he felt sorry for himself and he wished to die as well, in fact he begged for it, but he never turned his back on God. Although he questioned the why—he never questioned the what. Although he wanted an answer, he never floundered in his belief that God is benevolent and loving. Through all of these events, Job never blamed God for any of these calamities. “Endurance is different from just plain patience… Job showed a perfect spirit fo enduring submission. (Jamison, Faussett and Brown)” As we continue to recall the story of Job, and what a wonderful story it is, we recall that first Job lost everything—his son and daughters and all of his material possessions— and yet did not curse the LORD! Then, just because Satan lost that round, he took the fight up one more level—that of attacking Job himself physically with all kinds of boils and tumors and itches and other kinds of pain. Once again Job accepted, without cursing God, his mis-fortunes. The lesson that the book of Job has to teach us to have the composure to be able to endure to the end, to have restraint and perseverance. To be humble and honor God—our Father Jehovah—for all things; in all things. No matter what happens we are to use Job as our example of fortitude. In all of the suffering that Job suffered and in all of the rebukes that Job encountered by his wife and friends (Eliphaz, Bildad and Zophar) never once did he rebuke the LORD. Job did question the LORD but he never denied Him. Because of this God rewarded with more than he had before all of this happened. The study of Job is to show that even in hard times if we are ‘patient’ and wait without blaiming God for the problems of the world then we will be rewarded also. We will be rewarded with all of the love that God can give us, and that love is called “Grace”—the unmerited gift of salvation that He gives to those who believe and trust in Him. “The tender mercy of God is such that he will make his people an abundant amends for all of their sufferings and afflictions. Let us serve God, and endure our trials, as those who believe to the end will crown all.” (Matthew Henry) “The book of Job was written…to show that true religion would bare any form of trial to which it could be subjected” (Albert Barnes) Satan was arguing that there was nothing special about Job’s loyalty to God. Satan argued that God had provided such a barrier to Job’s enemies that he had no reason to despise God. God, knowing the truth, allowed Satan to first take away all that he owned and then by inflecting great pain upon him. Job refused to blame God and remained righteous. We know of very few, if any, who have suffered as much as Job, and yet emerges from so great difficulties as he. Whoever will, therefore, try to preserve as Job did should be rewarded just as great as he was. While he, and we, are overcome by the infirmities of our fleshly bodies, or we at times murmur and grumble (1st Corinthians x:10) we must remember to be restrained and governed by God. The Bible gives other examples of such trials and tribulations. Consider the trials of Elijah and his flight from Jezebel as rendered in 1st Kings 19 and the trial in the fiery furnace by Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego as told in Daniel 3. Such are the true examples of righteousness. |

27 | How do we know that we are truly saved? | 1 John 3:24 | kw5kw | 141652 | ||
There have been answers that actually point to scriptures, as the second part of the question referred to, and there have been answers that have taken 30 minutes of reading and re-reading to almost comphrend. I'm taking a simple answer. You KNOW you're saved when two things happen: 1) When you no longer have any guilty conscience from sinning. If you don't sin, you don't have a guilty conscience. This happens when you are following ALL of God's Commandments. 2) You have the "warm fuzzies" that the Holy Ghost, that is now living inside you, gives to you. I am trying my absolute best to "bounce my eyes" to avoid any sin that comes in through the # 1 portal of sin. It's hard, but it works! Avoiding any television show that has a hint of immorality... ie "Desprate Housewifes" all soaps, etc. Looking away during beer commercials (bikini twins). By doing these things I am trying my best to live in the 21st century and keep impure thoughts out of my life. (I was there, NO LONGER!) THANK GOD AND JESUS!!! Next, remove impure thoughts from your life. Don't just open a door for a woman so you can follow her 'wiggle'. Open to be courtious, not to oggle her rear. The eyes and mind are the two most important inputs of our body. Train them to do God's work and you can begin to live as God wants you to. Once you do this, the 'warm-fuzzies' become a part of your life, and you know you're saved. Personal experience has taught me this. Your friend with Christ. Russ |
