21 | ways to praise God | NT general Archive 1 | tortoise | 112545 | ||
Hi lovelyanna, We praise God when we lift high the name of Jesus and the wonderful work he has done is our lives, Phil 3:3. He praise God when we appreciate all His wonderful love and watchcare over us, Ps 139. We praise God when we bless the Spirit of God for filling us, teaching, leading us and encouraging us, Phil 2:1 and many other Scriptures on the Holy Spirit's ministry. "Enter into His courts with thanksgiving and into His gates gates with praise. Be thankful to Him and bless His name. For the LORD is good; His mercy is everlasting, and His truth endures to all generations." Ps 100: 4-5 Everytime we come to God we may come in this fashion, that is in the wonderful name of Jesus. |

24 | Jn20:23Permision to Judge yes or no? | John | tortoise | 112140 | ||
Hi some1sbubba, Good question. Has someone taken the authority of judgment out of the hands of the Father? I think they have. Do you remember the story of Peter preaching to the Greek centurion Cornelius, Acts 10:42 "And He ordered us to preach to the people, and solemnly to testify that this is the One who has been appointed by God as Judge of the living and the dead." Peter preached salvation in Christ, and they believed and the Holy Spirit fell on those who heard and believd. Outside the church forgiveness always comes through the cross. Inside the church there may be cause to believe that the elders possess authority to mediate disputes and make judgments which those who hear better take to heart, Matt 18:16-18 may be an example of this. But salvation is the NT is offered to the world through the gospel. Rom 10:13 'for "WHOEVER WILL CALL ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED." Rom 10:14 How then will they call on Him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in Him whom they have not heard? And how will they hear without a preacher?' We then offer salvation which Christ has bought to the world. He has commissioned us to do this. God bless, tortoise |

25 | tortoise, How does Rom 8:1 relate to OT | Rom 8:1 | tortoise | 112136 | ||
When you say bound, what do you mean? Do you mean that we are required to keep and obey them? Then what do you mean by required? What will God do if you do not keep them? Everyone will be judged by their works, whether good or evil. But when one receives Christ as their forgiver and leader they will no longer be brought under judgment and punishment for sin. Before one accepts Christ if they break the law at all they must die. The law has lost it's deadly grip on you; it can no longer kill you, and you are free from it. So you are not bound by the law as you once were. But does the moral law still represent the righteousness of God? Yes. Should Christians still walk in righteousness? Yes. But not out of compulsion, rather out of love for what Christ as done for you. Furthermore before you accept Christ the Bible says, Romans 6, that you were slaves to sin. That is you were bound by sins grip and you could not escape, but now, praise His Holy Name, we have been loosed from sins deadly grip and are free to serve God. But we must deny ourselves and choose to serve God. Does this explain how as Christians we are free from the law, death and sin? And for the asking He will fill us with His Holy Spirit and help us live for Him. John 8:36 "So if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed. | ||||||
26 | verse says no longer bound by old test? | Rom 8:1 | tortoise | 112086 | ||
Sure is! When you accept Jesus as your Savior you are forgiven forever and that is it. You cannot break a law that will bring down God's judgment on you (no condemnation or judgment). But God has many guidelines for His children. Are you His child? Then do you want to follow Him and please your heavenly Father. You do know that He loves YOU so much that Jesus laid down His life to deliver you from destruction. It's not about a bunch of rules but the power of God to help you live your life. | ||||||
27 | Is it wrong to have a passionate kiss? | 1 Thess 4:5 | tortoise | 112084 | ||
Tator Bug, Can you both show affection without arousing each other? If you do nothing to arouse each other you will be OK. If either of you get aroused you are going too far and should STOP. 1 Thes 4:4-5 appears to be God's standard for this situation. I believe that following God's will for me is really for my best interest. Do you feel that way too? A single guy. |

28 | If it's ONLY foreplay is it still wrong? | 1 Thess 4:3 | tortoise | 112075 | ||
Tator Bug, Searcher gave you a good answer. In my Bible I have the following passages underlined in 1 Thes 4:1-8. "ought to walk and please God" v1, "possess his own vessel in sancification and honor" v4, "not in passion of lust like the Gentiles" v5. "For God did not call us to uncleanness, but in holiness" v7. Is what you want to do uncleanness or holiness? That is my only question. A single guy. |

29 | punishment | 1 Pet 5:5 | tortoise | 111878 | ||
How about how Jonah got himself into trouble for blowing off God. Look at 1 Peter 5:5 in Amplified version. I think maybe pride is the worst most detestable sin. Look how God moves against it. I think God's love towards us is always active. He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion. Phil 1:6 | ||||||
