22 | Does it make more sense now? | Eccl 12:7 | kw5kw | 155734 | ||
Oh, you bet they do. If there is a ham on board that is. Most astronauts are hams so most of the time there is a ham radio on board. No, all I'm trying to say, I think that would make a really cool sermon illustration. Much like Spurgeon's Niagara Falls and the rope... Sermon # 107 "Faith". Russ |

23 | Did God create evil? | Is 45:7 | kw5kw | 178835 | ||
The post uses cold, one can also use light/dark as the illustration. One can measure light, how intense, what color, what wavelength but one can't measure dark. One can see the good in God and when one is seperated from good one is un-good or evil. Therefore evil is the seperation from good, just as dark is the seperation from light and cold is the seperation from heat. While evil does happen evil was not a creation by God, evil happened when Satan rebelled against God and has continued ever since. Good post. Russ |

27 | The things concerning this Child. | Luke 2:16 | kw5kw | 141297 | ||
"2) The Scriptures "in the original languages" do not capitalize any pronouns. If the original manuscripts did not capitalize pronouns, then WHY does anyone today feel that pronouns referring to the Deity MUST be capitalized? Why, because I think it gives the ultimate respect which is due the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. |

31 | what does this word mean | Acts 9:4 | kw5kw | 142285 | ||
Thank you, the typo is why I could not find it. Hank "The Bible Answerman" (on XM radio channel 170 at 18:00 eastern) also uses some huge words that I do not quite understand. I listen to him, but don't understand what he's saying. I didn't study those words for my college career path which is in Information Technology. I'm a network administrator for an automobile dealer. This job gives me enough time to read and this forum, among others, while I'm at work. I very rarely even get on a computer at home any more, I'm busy reading and studying the Bible. Thanks once again, Your brother in Christ, Russ |

32 | your bibical response to this verse? | Acts 23:9 | kw5kw | 139850 | ||
It is written: 2Ti 3:16 All scripture [is] given by inspiration of God, and [is] profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: To me that means that anything and everything in the Holy Bible may be considered as true. |

33 | Opinions of J. Falwell on WTC attack. | Rom 3:23 | kw5kw | 152506 | ||
Greetings Mark, I agree with you... especially in his self-praise. 1 John 2:15 Do not love the world nor the things in the world If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world. 17 The world is passing away, and also its lusts; but the one who does the will of God lives forever. (NASB) same words in the NIV: 15Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16For everything in the world—the cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and the boasting of what he has and does—comes not from the Father but from the world. 17The world and its desires pass away, but the man who does the will of God lives forever. the key word here is boasting... pridefull boasting. It is of this world... with world being Satan. pridefull boasting is of Satan Russ |

34 | 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. |

37 | kw5kw, do u worship God WHEN u repent? | Rom 7:19 | kw5kw | 169473 | ||
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... |

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! |

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. |
