21 | No Fruit? | John 15:8 | lookinforacity | 205506 | ||
Hi Steve: Could you please clear something up for me? You have been talking about John 15:8 right? How can you expect to get a correct understanding, of that verse without including the verses John 15:1-7 Verses 1-8 are all about the same subject, Vine, Branches, Fruit. In light of what you have decided verse 8 means, (would you please explain) what verses 3,and 7 mean? How do they apply, to the whole of the passage? John 15:1-8 Thank you GOD BLESS Jim |

22 | No Fruit? | John 15:8 | lookinforacity | 205503 | ||
Hi Brad: What I did say, was. I found some interesting verses, that might shed a different light, on how we are to take what we read. Please excuse my ignorance, but has everyone in this Forum seen, and understood these verses before? I will admit, until today, I did not. They surprised me. From now on, when I read I will keep them in mind. If the point of study, is to divide the word of God Righteously. Then I will have to go over everything I believe, and reapply this new information. What I am talking about is, they (the Apostles)had the responsibility of establishing the Church. (not us) Did Jesus tell them things, that they alone needed, in order for them to do that work? That we as Believers, Christians, Followers, Disciples have combined with other verses, to the Church in general, thereby giving us a wrong, BELIEF. (understanding) I for one would like to know, if I am following something that could cause me some difficulty in some way. In Answer: 1) I do not believe, the Church is Israel. 2) The ministry given to Paul, was the same as for the other 12. He said himself, "As one born, out of due season" Hope this clears things up. GOD BLESS Jim |

24 | No Fruit? | John 15:8 | lookinforacity | 205482 | ||
Hi Steve: I found some interesting verses, that might shed a different light, on how we are to take what we read. We first have to look at the Disciples (Apostles), they were in a special position, they WERE the first, they were at the starting point, they will also have a different reward. Matthew 19:27 Peter answered him, "We have left everything to follow you! What then will there be for us?" Matthew 19:28 Jesus said to them, "I tell you the truth, at the renewal of all things, when the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne, you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. Luke 22:28 Ye are they which have continued with me in my temptations. Luke 22:29 And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me; Luke 22:30 That ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel. This is only to show you, we cannot apply everything, that Jesus said to them, (to OURSELVES.) Hope it helps. God Bless Jim |

25 | Divorced Do Christians Get Remarried? | 1 Cor 6:9 | lookinforacity | 205330 | ||
Hi Tamara: The answer to your question is, NO. Christians should not get remarried after a divorce. If you can find the words of the marriage ceremony. I have to qualify the answer though, because there are two types of marriage, that take place. 1) In a Church sanctioned by a Religion. That falls into the category of, in the sight of GOD. The person taking the Vows, fully understands, what they mean, in the eyes of the Religion. 2) In a Court, that is sanctioned by the State. In this type of marriage, GOD still sees, and holds us to the Vows taken, because marriage is HIS institution. But in a Civil Ceremony, they do not use the Line, In the sight of God. This was just for the purpose of distinction. We as the participants in a Marriage, are still held to the Vows. I think you will find in the Vows , the line, (Forsaking All Others), God does not like for us to get divorced, But he allows it, because of the Hardness of OUR hearts, as with the Jews. We are still held to the Vow (Forsaking All Others). as long as you do not remarry, for the rest of your life, it is ok, (not right) but ok. But the moment you do remarry, the VOW is then broken, and you are then held responsible. You at that moment, are an Adulterer. 31) It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement: 32) But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery. 33) Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths: 34) But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne: 35) Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King. 36) Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black. 37) But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil. It is better not to marry, but if you must, you will be held to the Vows you make. God does not take Vows lightly. God Bless Jim |

26 | Divorced Do Christians Get Remarried? | 1 Cor 6:9 | lookinforacity | 205319 | ||
Hi John: This is the reason I ask. Romans 7:2 For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband. Romans 7:3 So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man. God Bless Jim |

Hi John: Just a question, why is a widow - (er) in the mix, what have they done to fall into the catigory,of Do not Marry? Your quote "to a one that has not been married or widowed or is not divorced for the wrong reason." |

29 | Is God opens doors no man closes in bibl | Rev 3:20 | lookinforacity | 205273 | ||
Hi Chesshores: Here are two verses for your inspection. Hope they are what you were looking for Isaiah 22:22 And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder; so he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open. Revelation 3:7 And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth; GOD BLESS Jim |

Hi Jeff: Just for clarification Purposes. You said Quote. "The babe grows into a child by the milk and then must consume the protein of the meat to grow into maturity. Otherwise there will be a failure to thrive leading to a premature death. We build on a foundation (milk) and finish the house (meat)." "Today, you can not see the foundation that has been covered by the blowing sands. Had they been in possession of, or known where to access the needed money (meat) the structure would have been finished and serving it's purpose today (assumable)." Clarification Point? Are you saying , if a person doesn't eat meat, the you will Spiritually Die, (ie) Lose their Salvation ? God Bless Jim |

Hi Steven: It is not obvious to me, that you don't belong here ! Mark 13:11 But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost. Your words Wed 07/9/08, 12:09pm Hello Steve, Jesus fell short of the measure of the orthodoxy of his day. God will be my judge on what I did with the understanding he gave to me. I will work out my own salvation with trembling and fear Phil:2:12 Jesus said they (scribes and Pharisees the orthodox religious leaders) prosecuted him and they would persecute his followers. I will count it all joy when I am ridiculed for my beliefs. My understanding may fall short of the orthodox measure and that does not bother me. I do not fear what men can do to me. I have not come to the understanding I have of Gods word overnight his spirit has been leading me for many years. God calls and his spirit leads us. When someone asks me about my faith I try my best to give them an answer of the hope that lies within me. My intentions are never to convince anyone to believe as I do. My postings are not to prove I'm right and your wrong they are only to state my understanding of Gods word. If they edify anyone I am thankful for that. My name is Steven :) peace ps: I work 3rd shift and must go to sleep now. I can only talk out of my own experience, with you. Your words, have been seasoned with salt, they have ministered grace to the hearer. your 2 postings to me were well received, thank you for them. How do you know that your not supposed to be here. How do you know, what you have felt hasn't been an attack of the Enemy. Ephesians 2:19-22 19) Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints, and of the household of God; 20) And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone; 21) In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord: 22) In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit. SOOOOO I guess to sum it up, WERE ALL here for a reason, wether we agree or not! Have a GOD BLESSED DAY Jim |

33 | Help! Unclean vs clean meat? | Acts | lookinforacity | 205103 | ||
Hi Steven: Isaiah 66:15-17 As I understand the verse in point, the meat was not clean. The fury of the Lord, was poured out upon them, because the swine's flesh, the abomination, and the mouse were in sacrifice to Idols, BY JEWS. In Christ Jim |

34 | Just out of curiosity. | Phil 1:23 | lookinforacity | 205070 | ||
Hi Val: Soul Sleep, who cares what happens in the Grave, to the Body of the Flesh. It will be raised with an incorruptible body, It is irrelevant, what happens, after death. You can call it sleep if you want, that will give you a good understanding of the whole process. When you die, TIME STOPS. Exactly the same as when you sleep at night, you might sleep for 1, 5, or 10 hrs. you are unaware of the passage of time, to your mind it was a second, almost instantaneous. The same in death, 1, 10, 10,000 yrs. a second, almost instantaneous. Knowing this, and understanding it, does it really matter what happens, during the time your flesh, is in the grave ? The reason there isn't any definitive answer on this question, is because it is irrelevant to your Salvation. Belief in Soul Sleep, doesn't add, or subtract, from what YOU did in your flesh, while you were ALIVE. So I say believe, don't believe. 6 of 1 -- 1/2 of another. 2 Cor. 5:6-8 Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord: 7(For we walk by faith, not by sight:) 8We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. 15:52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. Ps. to stop any misunderstandings, I only posted this to you because your post is the most recient on the subject, it isnt personal,towards you. In Christ Jim |

36 | Creed for Believers | Rev 21:3 | lookinforacity | 205041 | ||
Forum: Is this Creed something that all of us can agree upon? I have taken the liberty to clean it up a bit, by removing any offensive remarks, as to belief in a certain Church. Although the line in question, could also mean, the Body of Christ. All believers around the world, UNITED through the bond of PEACE, in LOVE, by the HOLY GHOST. (1) I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of Heaven and Earth. (2) And in Jesus Christ, His only Begotten Son, our Lord, and Savior (3) Who was conceived of the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary (4) Suffered under Pontius Pilate, was Crucified, Died, and was Buried; (5) He Descended into Hell; the Third Day He Arose again from the Dead; (6) He Ascended into Heaven, and Sitteth at the Right Hand of God, the Father Almighty (7) From Thence He shall Come, to Judge the Living, and the Dead. (8) I believe in the Holy Ghost, (9) The Body of Christ, As the Church, The Communion of Saints,The Unity of the Spirit (10) The Forgiveness of Sins (11) The Resurrection of the Body (12)And Life Everlasting.

39 | An interesting discussion/question | Romans | lookinforacity | 205009 | ||
Hi John: This is the question, incase you missed it. There have been only 2 answers given to it. Tamara's, and mine. You apparently think what Tamara posted was correct. While I on the other hand cant understand how this answer, answers the question posted by (ChildofGod) Please explain it to me. During the discussion, he asked me a question about those who have never heard the Gospel. I remember that during my personal study, I read about Gods will and plan for those people (who i suppose could also include young children and those unborn). Could anyone please help me locate this passage? Have a God Blessed Day Jim |

40 | Purpose of the parables? | Matt 13:1 | lookinforacity | 204999 | ||
Hi Tamara: To answer your question, the parables are only about ONE thing. The Kingdom Jesus was preaching the GOSPEL of the KINGDOM ! From the time of his showing to Israel, to his crucifixion.All of the prophesy's were about the (Messiah, and his Kingdom.) He was going about setting it up, Establishing it, in the hearts of men. That is why the Disciples asked him. Acts 1:6 When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel? ,Matthew 13:18 Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower. Read this PARABLE, it is about the Kingdom , NOT Salvation as people think. Matthew 5:20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Here is an example, of the unbelief. Matthew 23:13 But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in. The same thing is happening today, by the Churches. How many Churches actually teach the Kingdom? In Christ JIM |
