21 | How do we deal with PRODIGALS? | 1 Corinthians | mbooker | 65728 | ||
… the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. Romans 5:5 Love never fails... 1 Corinthians 13:8 Show forth the love of God to your prodigal Love endures long and is patient and kind; … it takes no account of the evil done to it [it pays no attention to a suffered wrong]… Love bears up under anything and everything that comes, is ever ready to believe the best of every person, its hopes are fadeless under all circumstances, and it endures everything [without weakening]. 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 Be patient toward your prodigal Be kind toward your prodigal Do not take account of the evil done by your prodigal Bear up under whatever your prodigal may do Be ready to believe the best of your prodigal Continue to hope against the odds that your prodigal will come home … the goodness of God leads you to repentance Romans 2:4 Show forth the goodness of God to your prodigal For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day. 2 Timothy 2:12 Commit your prodigal to the Lord and believe that He is able to keep them |

22 | Resume the faith , what is it ? | Romans | mbooker | 65357 | ||
Romans 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. KJV Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word of Christ. NIV So faith comes by hearing [what is told], and what is heard comes by the preaching [of the message that came from the lips] of Christ (the Messiah Himself). Amp Yet faith comes from listening to this message of good news--the Good News about Christ. NLT |

23 | Can We Put God in the Dock? | Bible general Archive 1 | mbooker | 65334 | ||
I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name. Ps 138:2 God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good? Num 23:19 In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began; Titus 1:2 Remember this, and shew yourselves men: bring it again to mind, O ye transgressors. Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me, Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure: Calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man that executeth my counsel from a far country: yea, I have spoken it, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed it, I will also do it. Is 46:8-11 From my current understanding, I would not say God is obligated to man. But I will say that God is obligated to his Word. An encounter that Moses had with God also leads me to believe that God is obligated to his Word. And the LORD said unto Moses, Go, get thee down; for thy people, which thou broughtest out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves: They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them: they have made them a molten calf, and have worshipped it, and have sacrificed thereunto, and said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which have brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. And the LORD said unto Moses, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people: Now therefore let me alone, that my wrath may wax hot against them, and that I may consume them: and I will make of thee a great nation. And Moses besought the LORD his God, and said, LORD, why doth thy wrath wax hot against thy people, which thou hast brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great power, and with a mighty hand? Wherefore should the Egyptians speak, and say, For mischief did he bring them out, to slay them in the mountains, and to consume them from the face of the earth? Turn from thy fierce wrath, and repent of this evil against thy people. Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, thy servants, to whom thou swarest by thine own self, and saidst unto them, I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have spoken of will I give unto your seed, and they shall inherit it for ever. And the LORD repented of the evil which he thought to do unto his people. Ex 32:7-14 Wherefore should the Egyptians speak, and say, For mischief did he bring them out, to slay them in the mountains, and to consume them from the face of the earth? Turn from thy fierce wrath, and repent of this evil against thy people. v12 Here, it appears as if Moses is questioning God, then telling God what to do but… Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, thy servants, to whom thou swarest by thine own self, and saidst unto them, I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have spoken of will I give unto your seed, and they shall inherit it for ever. v13 Here, we see the promise that God had spoken to Abraham, Isaac, and Israel. Since God said ‘I have spoken it, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed it, I will also do it’, I am lead to believe that God was not obligated to Moses but he was obligated to his spoken word. I do realize that saying ‘God is obligated…’ can and does sound quite pompous to some, so I will say it this way: This is the confidence that I have in Him: God, who cannot lie, will do what He says and will bring to pass what He purposes. |

24 | How would this apply to times of slavery | 1 Cor 7:21 | mbooker | 64524 | ||
v 21 seems to dispute the notion that slaves (or at the VERY least slaves who became believers) should remain slaves if the opportunity for freedom showed itself. Are you a slave? Don't let that worry you--but if you get a chance to be free, take it. NLT Were you a slave when you were called? Do not let that trouble you. But if you are able to gain your freedom, avail yourself of the opportunity. Amp |

25 | Why should we obey God? | Psalm | mbooker | 64093 | ||
Because he said so :) just kidding... I think Psalms 19:7-11 gives a few good reasons to obey God. The law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul. The statutes of the LORD are trustworthy, making wise the simple. The precepts of the LORD are right, giving joy to the heart. The commands of the LORD are radiant, giving light to the eyes. The fear of the LORD is pure, enduring forever. The ordinances of the LORD are sure and altogether righteous. They are more precious than gold, than much pure gold; they are sweeter than honey, than honey from the comb. By them is your servant warned; in keeping them there is great reward. Deut 28 also gives a long list of blessings for obeying and gives even more curses for disobeying... Abba Father Bless... |

26 | Muslim missionaries said to me last week | Phil 2:7 | mbooker | 64086 | ||
to add to what meusing said: Matthew 26:52-54 Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword. Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels? But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be? |

27 | Answering Anti-Missionary Arguements | Is 7:9 | mbooker | 63465 | ||
12. In Mark 6:5, it says that Yeshua "could do no miracle". However, Mark 10:27 says that "with G-d, all things are possible". Which is it? But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house. And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed them. Mark 6:4-5 In Matthew's account it gives the reason Jesus could not do might work: And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house. And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief. Matt 13:57-58 The people's unbelief was the problem. Considering the bible truth that Jesus 'did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief' and Mark 10:27, 'With God, all things are possible', I was lead to this scripture: Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth. Mark 9:23 Thus I see no contradition between Mark 6:5 and Mark 10:27. Abba Father Bless... Meredith |

29 | Where to give tithes? | Mal 3:10 | mbooker | 60272 | ||
Oh ok... I see First I would ask if you are sure your current church is where God has lead you to be. I would wonder, especially since you said you don't see God's work being supported by the tithes. If, however, you are sure that your current church is where you are to be, then my advice would be to give it to that church. Otherwise, seek God's guidance as to where you are to be... then give your tithes there. Abba Father Bless... |

30 | Can I choose where to tithe? | Mal 3:10 | mbooker | 60262 | ||
Once a friend asked if they should take the tithe and help someone who needed money for something. My advice to them was 'no' because Mal 3 says to bring the tithe to the storehouse. Currently, I equate my local church with the storehouse in Mal 3. I haven't yet found in scripture where the tithe was given to someone who was in greater need instead of bringing it to the storehouse (church). I think I also suggested that they help out as best they could but give the tithe to their church. Abba Father Bless... |

32 | Acts 14:5 | Gen 41:51 | mbooker | 59346 | ||
Gen 35:22-26 lists Israel's sons. Rev 5-8 lists the tribes of Isreal. Manasses(Manasseh OT spelling), I believe, is Joesph's first born (Gen 41:51). Joseph married Asenath while he ws in Egypt (Gen 41:45). Assuming that Asenath was Egyptian, the tribe of Manasses could be the tribe considered to be of 'African' decent. |

33 | What is meant by praying in the spirit? | 1 Corinthians | mbooker | 59233 | ||
Here is what I understand to be praying in the spirit: For if I pray in an [unknown] tongue, my spirit [by the Holy Spirit within me] prays, but my mind is unproductive [it bears no fruit and helps nobody]. Then what am I to do? I will pray with my spirit [by the Holy Spirit that is within me], but I will also pray [intelligently] with my mind and understanding; I will sing with my spirit [by the Holy Spirit that is within me], but I will sing [intelligently] with my mind and understanding also. I Cor 14:14-15 |

35 | please, where do races come from ? | 1 Corinthians | mbooker | 59214 | ||
Good Morning Tim Here is a scripture: And He made from one [common origin, one source, one blood] all nations of men to settle on the face of the earth, having definitely determined [their] allotted periods of time and the fixed boundaries of their habitation (their settlements, lands, and abodes), Acts 17:26 But if your friend thinks the bible is 'bunk', I'm not sure giving her scriptures from the bible will help her receive the truth. Acts 16:14, tells us of Lydia 'whose heart the Lord opened, that she attended unto the things which were spoken of Paul' KJV. While Lydia was already a worshipper of God and your friend isn't(I'm assuming here :)! ), maybe you could pray that God would open her heart as He opened Lydia's. Abba Father Bless... |

36 | Does God forgive you for divorce | 1 Corinthians | mbooker | 59211 | ||
Good Morning Ames I Corinthians 7 may be one passage of scripture that can help you. I don't know if your husband is a believer or not but vv13-15 may help answer your question: And if any woman has an unbelieving husband and he consents to live with her, she should not leave or divorce him. For the unbelieving husband is set apart (separated, withdrawn from heathen contamination, and affiliated with the Christian people) by union with his consecrated (set-apart) wife, and the unbelieving wife is set apart and separated through union with her consecrated husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean (unblessed heathen, outside the Christian covenant), but as it is they are prepared for God [pure and clean]. But if the unbelieving partner [actually] leaves, let him do so; in such [cases the remaining] brother or sister is not morally bound. But God has called us to peace. Amp Malachi 2 may be a passage you could read also. Especially vv 14-16: Yet you ask, Why does He reject it? Because the Lord was witness [to the covenant made at your marriage] between you and the wife of your youth, against whom you have dealt treacherously and to whom you were faithless. Yet she is your companion and the wife of your covenant [made by your marriage vows]. And did not God make [you and your wife] one [flesh]? Did not One make you and preserve your spirit alive? And why [did God make you two] one? Because He sought a godly offspring [from your union]. Therefore take heed to yourselves, and let no one deal treacherously and be faithless to the wife of his youth. For the Lord, the God of Israel, says: I hate divorce and marital separation and him who covers his garment [his wife] with violence. Therefore keep a watch upon your spirit [that it may be controlled by My Spirit], that you deal not treacherously and faithlessly [with your marriage mate]. Amp Abba Father Bless you... |

38 | what's the name it claim it theory? | Gal 5:22 | mbooker | 57783 | ||
Hi Estelle After reading your post, the following scriptures came to mind. Mark 11:24 For this reason I am telling you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe (trust and be confident) that it is granted to you, and you will [get it]. John 15:7 If you live in Me [abide vitally united to Me] and My words remain in you and continue to live in your hearts, ask whatever you will, and it shall be done for you. 1 John 5:13-15 I write this to you who believe in (adhere to, trust in, and rely on) the name of the Son of God [in the peculiar services and blessings conferred by Him on men], so that you may know [with settled and absolute knowledge] that you [already] have life, yes, eternal life. And this is the confidence (the assurance, the privilege of boldness) which we have in Him: [we are sure] that if we ask anything (make any request) according to His will (in agreement with His own plan), He listens to and hears us. And if (since) we [positively] know that He listens to us in whatever we ask, we also know [with settled and absolute knowledge] that we have [granted us as our present possessions] the requests made of Him. I have absolutely NO way of knowing, but my question is could the above scriptures be what those who may be labeled ‘name it, claim it’ ers are basing this theory on? Now whether they have rightly or wrongly drawn their conclusion, I know not. But could… is it possible that this theory was born out of these scriptures? As I thought of your question ‘Can we really order God around because it's in His Word?’ the following biblical account came to mind. Exodus 32:9-14 And the LORD said unto Moses, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people: Now therefore let me alone, that my wrath may wax hot against them, and that I may consume them: and I will make of thee a great nation. And Moses besought the LORD his God, and said, LORD, why doth thy wrath wax hot against thy people, which thou hast brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great power, and with a mighty hand? Wherefore should the Egyptians speak, and say, For mischief did he bring them out, to slay them in the mountains, and to consume them from the face of the earth? Turn from thy fierce wrath, and repent of this evil against thy people. Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, thy servants, to whom thou swarest by thine own self, and saidst unto them, I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have spoken of will I give unto your seed, and they shall inherit it for ever. And the LORD repented of the evil which he thought to do unto his people. I’m hesitant to say Moses was ordering God around. It appears to me that he was trusting in the covenant that God had made with Abraham, Isaac, and Israel. I look forward to seeing the responses you get to your post. Abba Father Bless… |

40 | Did Solomon say all is meaningless? | 3 John 1:2 | mbooker | 57468 | ||
Hi Searcher if vanity means meaningless, then yes, Solomon said that. When I referenced 1 Kings 3, I wasn't focusing so much on Solomon but on the God's act of giving him riches and honor. Forgive me for being rude on the 'Does Gal 4:7 we will prosper' in not greeting you. Shall you consult the 'experts'? If you're led to :) Abba Father bless... |
