24 | No Joyce Meyer?????????????????? | Acts 17:11 | mbooker | 72216 | ||
To all the posters on this and 'Divine Healing' thread. When I was a child, in Sunday School I was assigned this B Attitude: Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called the children of God. Matt 5:9 Is it possible that the following is a short and simple answer to the healing/prosperity teaching, teachers/false teachers debate? When they heard [that], they were cut [to the heart], and took counsel to slay them. Then stood there up one in the council, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, had in reputation among all the people, and commanded to put the apostles forth a little space; And said unto them, Ye men of Israel, take heed to yourselves what ye intend to do as touching these men. For before these days rose up Theudas, boasting himself to be somebody; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves: who was slain; and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered, and brought to nought. After this man rose up Judas of Galilee in the days of the taxing, and drew away much people after him: he also perished; and all, [even] as many as obeyed him, were dispersed. And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nought: But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be found even to fight against God. And to him they agreed: and when they had called the apostles, and beaten [them], they commanded that they should not speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go. Act 5:33-40 If the teachings (counsel) or ministry (work) of those labeled healing/prosperity teachers (or false teachers) 'be of men, it will come to nought: But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it'. |

27 | Praying to Mary isn't worship? | Bible general Archive 1 | mbooker | 71624 | ||
Good morning Emmaus :) I don’t want to bother you… but I need to ask you a question. Last night I was watching the Discovery Health channel and they were talking about a little girl who was born deaf. She was miraculously healed (about the age of 3 or 4) and the doctors had absolutely no explanation for it. At that point I began to smile and said ‘Someone was praying for that little girl’. Then, it was said a Sister (forgot her name) had prayed for the little girl. Then they started talking about the Vatican (I think that’s the word they used) the Sister was a part of. Anyway, it was mentioned that if she performed one more miracle, she would become a saint. I have heard something similar to this from a co-worker who was raised in a Catholic church. She said that in order to become a saint, you had to do so many miracles. I went to one of the sites (catholic.om) you posted not too long ago, but was not able to find whether or not the above is taught by those in a Catholic church. Is this taught? If so, is there a site I can read up on it? Thanks for your help Meredith |

28 | Is God somehow responsible? | Rom 1:20 | mbooker | 70190 | ||
Hi Brother John!! I would like to sneak in here and ask one quick question... then I'm outta here!!! :) You said that you hold the historic protestant view which is that God has ordained all things that occur. Just because 'God has ordained all things that occur', does that also mean that whatever occurs is in line with His will? His good, acceptable and perfect will? If your answer is no, please disregard the remainder of this post. But if it is yes, please indulge me… I have a few more questions :). I will again use Adam and Eve to try and further explain myself. God commanded saying 'Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, you shall not eat of it: for in the day that you eat thereof you shall surely die.’ Gen 2:16-17. God commanded the man not to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Am I correct in my belief that it was His will, His perfect will that they not eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil? If your answer is no, please disregard the remainder of this post. But if it is yes… If you have come this far, am I correct to say you agree that: God ordaining something to occur equals whatever occurs is His will, his perfect will. If your answer is no, please disregard the remainder of this post. But if it is yes… Since it was God’s will that the man NOT eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, how could He have ordained man to eat of that tree when it was His will, his perfect will that man NOT eat of that tree? Thanks for your time and I pray that you and yours enjoy remembering the birth of our Savior. Meredith |

30 | Are christians sinners or not? | Rom 3:23 | mbooker | 69434 | ||
Hi Brother John! Long time no see (or in this case post :) )! I pray all is well with you... I understand where you are coming from. I would not go up to an unbeliever and say 'I am not a sinner' for the reasons you outlined. I would not even argue the point with some believers I know. I simply don't think of myself as a hamartolos. I think of myself as the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus (as a man thinks in his heart, so is he). Now, have I sinned after being born again? YES!! But since learning about 1 John 1:9, I quickly take advantage of His cleansing... :) May you continue to know that He has blessed you with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ Meredith |

31 | Are christians sinners or not? | Rom 3:23 | mbooker | 69433 | ||
Hi Brother Robert… I hope you don’t mind that I picked you to ask this question, since a couple of others in this thread have quoted 1 John 1:8. Are you saying that 1 John 1:8 is one reason Christians should consider themselves sinners? (btw, I am using the biblical word for sinner: hamartolos - devoted to sin, a sinner, not free from sin, pre-eminently sinful, especially wicked, all wicked men, specifically of men stained with certain definite vices or crimes, tax collectors, heathen) Another point I have been pondering is this: Just because we have sin, as 1 John 1:8 states, does that automatically mean we will sin? I ponder this for 2 reasons: One because of what John said in 1 John 2:1: My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. He wrote that they sin NOT. BUT, he said IF any sin, not WHEN any sin. I see a big difference in those 2 little words. And two, because of what Paul said in Romans 6:11-12: Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. From John and Paul, I gather that while we have sin, we are to consider ourselves dead to it and not let in reign in our mortal body. But IF we do sin, thank GOD Almighty, we have an advocate, our big Brother! Another reason I believe we are no longer sinners (as defined by the bible) is because we have been made new creatures and we have been made the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. When I think of the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus (what we have been made into) being called a sinner, I think of 2 Cor 14-16: Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. While I understand that this passage is talking about being yoked together with unbelievers, when I think of the righteousness of God and sinner being ‘joined’ in the Christian, I think ‘what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?’. And that is where I have difficulty calling a Christian a sinner (the biblical definition). My, this is longer that I had intended! : ) Grace and peace to you Meredith |

34 | Are christians sinners or not? | Rom 3:23 | mbooker | 69245 | ||
I tend to fall on the side that I am not a sinner. My main reason for this is I Cor 5:19. After reading Brother John’s post, I decided to look up the word sinner at blueletterbible.org. It is the word hamartolos which means: devoted to sin, a sinner 1a) not free from sin 1b) pre-eminently sinful, especially wicked 1b1) all wicked men 1b2) specifically of men stained with certain definite vices or crimes 1b2a) tax collectors, heathen 1 John 3:9 in the Amp version indicates that those born of God will not deliberately, knowingly, and habitually practice sin and I believe that this person in 1 John 3:9 is NOT devoted to sin Romans 6 tells me that I am dead to sin (v2) and he that is dead is free from sin (v7). Now, I ask myself why do I, who am dead to sin, live any longer therein, considering the truth that sin does not have dominion over me (v14) and I have been made free from sin (v18,22)? Then I see that I am told to: 1. Reckon myself to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ my Lord. (v11) 2. Let not sin therefore reign in my mortal body (v12) 3. Neither yield my members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield myself unto God, as one that is alive from the dead, and my members as instruments of righteousness unto God (v13) After reading these passages, I again ask myself, why sin? And then I think of what Paul wrote in Romans 7, especially vv14-25. I still have yet to grasp an understanding of what he was saying. Just thoughts that are going thru my head… Grace and Peace to you all… Meredith |

retxar 'Also, do you also take the stand that a women can have more than one husband.' I have been reading thru this thread and more than once the same question has gone thru my mind :) (especially since I am a woman!! LOL). I was wondering if the old saying was true: What's good for the goose is good for the gander! But seriously, one man is enough for me! :) |
