21 | kw5kw, do u worship God WHEN u repent? | Rom 7:19 | kw5kw | 169480 | ||
Let me ask you; "Are you sinless?" If you are then cast that first rock, I'll stand still for you, and praise will not falter from my lips for I will be smitten by a sinless person. I'm here to say that, no matter how you interpertate what I just wrote, sin is no longer my master! I do not live to sin! I live to serve Christ. I sin because I'm human, not because I desire to. But, I do live under Grace, as the LORD, my saviour, preserves me. teteremenois as used in Jude 1:1 "Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them that are sactifified by God the Father, and preserved (teteremenois) in Jesus Christ, and called: (KJV). Believers are 'preserved' in Jesus Christ. God keeps the believer, guards and watches over him. The believer is a person who: ... is watched over by God. ... is strengthened by God to walk through all of the trials and temptations of life. ... is protected from all of the enemies of life--or death. ... is to be escorted into heaven quicker than a 'twinkle of an eye'. ... is given life, both abundant and eternal. ... is given assurance of God's presence and love all through his life. The true believer is preserved and kept by God. He is a person who is looked after and cared by Jesus. But note: it is in Jesus Christ that God keeps us. We get this preserverance by trusting in Jesus, by placing our faith in Him and the work He did on the Cross. By believing that His blood saves us--washes us clean. |

Compare what I've said with Oswalt Chambers for March 21st Identified or Simply Interested? I have been crucified with Christ . . . —Galatians 2:20 The inescapable spiritual need each of us has is the need to sign the death certificate of our sin nature. I must take my emotional opinions and intellectual beliefs and be willing to turn them into a moral verdict against the nature of sin; that is, against any claim I have to my right to myself. Paul said, "I have been crucified with Christ . . . ." He did not say, "I have made a determination to imitate Jesus Christ," or, "I will really make an effort to follow Him"-but-"I have been identified with Him in His death." Once I reach this moral decision and act on it, all that Christ accomplished for me on the Cross is accomplished in me. My unrestrained commitment of myself to God gives the Holy Spirit the opportunity to grant to me the holiness of Jesus Christ. ". . . it is no longer I who live . . . ." My individuality remains, but my primary motivation for living and the nature that rules me are radically changed. I have the same human body, but the old satanic right to myself has been destroyed. ". . . and the life which I now live in the flesh," not the life which I long to live or even pray that I live, but the life I now live in my mortal flesh-the life which others can see, "I live by faith in the Son of God . . . ." This faith was not Paul’s own faith in Jesus Christ, but the faith the Son God had given to him (see Ephesians 2:8 ). It is no longer a faith in faith, but a faith that transcends all imaginable limits-a faith that comes only from the Son of God. --Oswalt Chambers for Today, March 21st! |

We lie to ourselves that we’re perfect, that we don’t lie, we don’t covet, we aren’t prideful. We might not murder, rape and pillage. We might not commit adultery, nor do we go out and make our living by being a thief. We might not even provide false witness but we do lie about taking a paper clip from work, we might even take an ink pen or staples. How about those few pages of copy paper that you copied a receipt on or a recipe? We don’t even think about it. Look at a man’s law of speeding. We have different speed zones they are all set up. They are laws—Man’s Law. We go zooming down the highway at 70 in a 70… ever go 71? 72? 75? 80? We go cruising down a street at 40… but the speed limit is 35—ever do that? Sure you have. We’re stopping at a stop sign, ever coast thru, making it a yield instead? These we’re all guilty of—admit it! We’re all guilty of breaking man’s most simple laws. We’re all, all of us, we are definitely guilty of breaking God’s laws. YOU WILL HAVE NO GODS BEFORE ME! What about money? Is that a god for you? Do you play the stock market as a day trader? What about your job? Is that a god for you? Do you work harder at your job than you do at anything else? What about your hobby? Do you spend more time doing your hobby than anything else? Think about it! If you do any of these, then they have become a god for you and you’re putting Jehovah on the back burner. YOU WILL HAVE NO GRAVEN IMAGE! What about your PDA? Your Razor (cell phone)? Your MP3? Your Lexus, Honda, Izuzu? That new boat? A new computer? Do you worship these things? Do you have to have the best—the latest—the greatest? How about that new camper, motorhome? It doesn’t have to be an image of a golden calf, and don’t worship these things thinking they’ll bring happiness. Nay, they won’t for you’ll always want more! But guess what, we do. THOU SHALL NOT TAKE THE NAME OF THY LORD THY GOD IN VAIN! What happens when we say; “Oh, God!” What happens when we say “Jesus!” Do you say that when something happens to you? It’s not just saying the curse words that we all know, but the simple utterance of: “My God!” that we hear everyone say every day! This is just like speeding at 71 over 70 or 36 over 35, but it’s still breaking the law. REMEMBER THE SABBATH AND KEEP IT HOLY! Do we do that? Do you mow the grass on Sunday? Do you go to a movie on Sunday? Do you honor your God on Sunday? Not just go to church, but do you rest on Sunday as was commanded? Do you paint that room? Do you work in the garden? All of these were forbidden by the LAW of Moses. HONOR THY FATHER AND MOTHER! Do you? Do you honor your mother and father? Do you question their judgment? No matter how old you are, do you actually honor everything your mother and father has done for you? THOU SHALT NOT MURDER! Some translations say kill, but that could be anything… the snake that tried to bite you, the bear who tried to molest you… the wasp who stung you. But, the bible actually says “murder” in the Hebrew language. That does not mean killing in war or in self defense, but actually planning and carrying out the cold-blooded murder of one’s human brother/sister, just like Cain did or even King David! Not many of us—thankfully—murder anyone, thank God!, but some do—I don’t. THOU SHALL NOT COMMIT ADULTRY! Be faithful to one man/woman. Jesus defined this even further in Matthew v:26-27 when He said to even look at another woman was to commit adultery with her in your mind. What on television anymore doesn’t put that thought in a guy’s head? Internet? Even some song lyrics on the radio! Goes the same for you girls out there! Soap operas are as bad about giving thoughts as anything else. Romantic novels? etc. THOU SHALT NOT STEAL! Paper clips, staples, a copy of this or that, who hasn’t done that? Sure, it’s not Ken Lay stealing millions (Enron), nor is it Robin Hood stealing from the Sheriff of Nottingham, but it’s still theft! THOU SHALT NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS! “Little Johnny did it!” or “Sue ate the ice cream!” when it was actually you. “The dog ate the homework!” when you didn’t do your home work. These are all false witness—and Lying all in one! You can carry it on to any level you want, but this is the basic, elementary aspects that we’ve all done at one time or another. cont... |

27 | Paul's evil practices Pre or PostJesus | Rom 7:19 | kw5kw | 169449 | ||
I believe in my humble opinion, that Romans 7: 14ff is about Paul both before and after his conversion on the road of Damascus. It is to God's Glory that we worship Him, and if we have no reason to worship Him, then we become blameless, at least in our own eyes, and become as the fallen morning star, aka Lucifer, the dragon, Satan, for then great iniquity could be found in us as it was Satan. Sin, something we do not wish to do, breaking the Law of God, is however a necessary evil that brings us actually closer to the worship of God. If it wasn't for sin, would we understand this: "My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me."? What did our Lord mean when He told this to Paul? Our worship of God is because we sin--at least in our human life it will be. Once we get to heaven, then our spiritual worship of our God will be entirely different and never ending. No matter how you look at it we are free from the Law, and placed under His Grace. By being set free from the law we are no longer under it's punishment. That doesn't mean that we no longer have to follow the law, for we still can't murder, rape, commit adultry. We should not have idols, or anything before God. We need to honor our fathers and mothers. We should not steal, nor covet or lie. But we do, maybe not all but some. It's the small sins that will keep us --as humans-- close to God. |

Else one could boast that one could give 15 Billion dollars to the victims of Hurricant Katrina and be able to buy their way in. That's why it (salvation) is not of what man does, with the only exception of the one act of accepting Jesus as your saviour. Everything else is a work... your salvation is by faith, faith in the Lord. God then provides His Grace and sends the Holy Spirit to circumcise your heart. Works, from there on out, should reflect your new life in Christ. Giving to orphants, and widows, the homeless and misplaced. Now, your gift of 15 Billion dollars is a work of faith, instead of salvation. His Grace is given freely... all you have to do is to accept it. |

31 | Bible story on not accepting negativity? | 1 Cor 8:1 | kw5kw | 156139 | ||
I've always taken James 3:13-18 as dealing with negativity. While the word 'negative' is not listed in the bible, I feel that it is implied in these verses. For the Bible says: "Two Kinds of Wisdom 13Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show it by his good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom. 14But if you harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast about it or deny the truth. 15Such "wisdom" does not come down from heaven but is earthly, unspiritual, of the devil. 16For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice. 17But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. 18Peacemakers who sow in peace raise a harvest of righteousness. Put this together with 3John:11 : 11Dear friend, do not imitate what is evil but what is good. Anyone who does what is good is from God. Anyone who does what is evil has not seen God. |

33 | second or third coming??? | Titus 2:13 | kw5kw | 155844 | ||
I think what LIVE4GOD and LSmith are asking is not about the rapture, but is indeed talking about the 1000year reign of Christ. The before and after of the 1000 year reign so mentioned in scripture. Rev 20:2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, This being after the Second comming of our Lord, then... Rev 20:3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season. Rev 20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshiped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. "Reigned with Christ a thousand years", the thousand year millenium reign of Christ after His second comming, then... Rev 20:7 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, and the final comming (third???) of God and his Judgement. Rev 20:10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night forever and ever Rev 20:11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. Rev 20:12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. Rev 20:13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. Rev 20:14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. Rev 20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. If you look at this one way, the First comming was when Jesus walked the earth 2000 years ago. Second comming, with the rapture and... then binding Satan for 1000 years then the third comming and the final judgement. I'm confused as well Russ |

34 | do angels sing? if so, what ch./verse | Rev 5:11 | kw5kw | 155739 | ||
Greetings Bows44, Hope you are having a good day. Eze 28:14 Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. I've been taught that there were four types of spirit beings that God created: 1. Archangel 2. Angel 3. Seraph (Seraphim) 4. Cherub (Cherubim) If (And I believe that this is talking about Satan, just as you do.) this is talking about Satan, then Satan wasn't an angel but a Cherub. The Cherubim were placed outside the garden of eden to guard it so Adam and Eve could not re-enter and eat of the tree of life. They are described in Eze 1:5-11 "Also out of the midst thereof came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance; they had the likeness of a man. And every one had four faces, and every one had four wings. And their feet were straight feet; and the sole of their feet was like the sole of a calf's foot: and they sparkled like the colour of burnished brass. And they had the hands of a man under their wings on their four sides; and they four had their faces and their wings. Their wings were joined one to another; they turned not when they went; they went every one straight forward. As for the likeness of their faces, they four had the face of a man, and the face of a lion, on the right side: and they four had the face of an ox on the left side; they four also had the face of an eagle. Thus were their faces: and their wings were stretched upward; two wings of every one were joined one to another, and two covered their bodies." This same discription is repeated in Rev 4:7-9. They Ride on and illustrate the magjesty of God 2Sa 22:11 and their wings sound like the voice of God Eze 10:5. In Rev 5, the beasts are cherubs. So if what you are refering to here as singing, then Cherub sing, but still not clear about the angels themselves. Your brother, Russ |

No, strictly computed and actually was scheduled into their flight plan that time. It was coordinated via AMSAT and Kieth Pugh, W5IU and Donna (forget her last name) N5WOE so that they students at one of our local elementary schools could gain some experience with both science and amateur radio. We did not get individual QSL cards, but we did get a nice write up in the Star-Telegram for the event. Check AMSAT.org for other such activities. Amateur radio has many satellites used for communications, and the shuttle (used to anyway) was routeinly used to give school students the expierence. And as for tracking, you can track almost any satellite anywhere anytime if you have the programs. I've let this area of my life lapse quite a bit, so I'm a bit rusty on the pages, but amsat.org should have the links necessary. So this expierence is just as real as it can be! Russ |

Greetings Hank, Thanks for the wise words of wisdom, for I have tried to do nothing but seek such wisdom. Hopefully one of these days I will have a meer fraction of that which Soloman had.

Peace with you Hank I am your brother in Christ Russ Ecc 7:25 I applied mine heart to know, and to search, and to seek out wisdom, and the reason of things, and to know the wickedness of folly, even of foolishness and madness: |

Greetings Tim: Just to let you know, My user id: kw5kw is an amateur radio call sign. Using amateur radio, I have indeed talked to the space shuttle. As a matter of fact, both the shuttle and I were using what we call a hand held unit that only transmits a maximum of 5 watts, but that was all that was necessary since it was line of sight. However, the truth is, I have indeed talked to the space shuttle. Not this last one, it has been several years ago now, but once is enough to make it true. Good tidings to you Tim, Russ |
