21 | Scriptural Support? | Rev 12:9 | Bows44 | 159791 | ||
Hi BradK, Wasn't aware you needed help. Haven't read Dr. Walter Martin's "The Kingdom of the Cults" so I can't comment on that. See note to Hank. Hope this helps, Bows44 |

22 | Scriptural Support? | Rev 12:9 | Bows44 | 159789 | ||
Hank, My interest was purely personal. (See note to Kalos) Thank God, my research so far shows that this man was not in my lineage as he appears to have had no children having taken a vow of celibacy. But had he been, there would be nothing for me to do except forgive him of any wrong doing. Therefore, I am interested in the truth based on a personal interest. I do agree, however, it is nothing to argue over. :-) But I hope you can see why the truth in this case is very important to me. Bows44 |

Kalos, I'm not defending anyone. Just trying to share the truth. If one promotes faleshoods, then unbelievers have a hard time believing the truth. We must be careful to post only that which is proven fact. If I am defending anything it is truth. My research shows that there is a descrepancy in the information regarding Mr. Russell. I am just trying to show that there is a descrepancy. Why is it so important for you to finger this man as the founder? Isn't it more important to discuss the falsehoods promoted by JWs and the truth of the Gospel than to get stuck on who did or did not start the cult? Especially when that person is dead and can't speak for himself? It happened to be a little bit of an issue to me as my maiden name is Russell and my father used to work real hard against the JWs when I was growing up. I was researching for personal reasons and chose to share the descrepancy in the info posted by Doc. I happen to trust the Wikepedia since they don't have an agenda and just try to give out as accurate information as possible without bias. Personally, I really don't care what you or anyone else believes about Mr. Russell. It certainly isn't worth arguing over. So why don't we just drop it? O.K.? Hope this helps, Bows44 |

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Charles Taze Russell, (February 16, 1852 - October 31, 1916), known as Pastor Russell, was an American evangelist from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania who founded what is known as the Bible Student movement. He is known for founding the religious journal "Zion's Watch Tower and Herald of Christ's Presence" in 1879, as well as one of the first Bible Societies in America, Zion's Watch Tower Tract Society, in 1881. A schism in 1917 resulted in the formation of the present-day movements known as Bible Students and Jehovah's Witnesses. Depends on how one interprets things. JWs came out of his movement, but he technically did not found them. Bows44 |

Hi Doc, I found the following website http://www.nsbible.org/pastor_not_founder.htm which begins with.... PASTOR RUSSELL NOT THE FOUNDER OF "JEHOVAH’S WITNESSES" Contrary to some publicity made concerning "Jehovah's Witnesses," Pastor Russell is not the founder of this religious group. He has never associated with "Jehovah's Witnesses" nor did he ever claim the name. Pastor Charles T. Russell died in 1916. The "Jehovah's Witnesses" came into existence later. Associating Pastor Russell with "Jehovah's Witnesses" leaves the decidedly mistaken view that their teachings and beliefs are alike. Such is not the case. After speaking of differences in beliefs between the two, the article ends with... From these facts it can be seen that Pastor Charles T. Russell was neither in principle nor in spirit, the founder of "Jehovah's Witnesses." Just thought you may want to know. Bows44 |

26 | gift of healing same as prayer of faith | 1 Cor 12:9 | Bows44 | 159723 | ||
Makarios, I have been following this discussion and would like to jump in with a few thoughts as this subject is very near and dear to my heart. You see, I minister in the Healing Rooms sponsored by my church. Every week people come to us from all over, even from out of state, to get prayer. I have seen many people touched by the power of God and healed in many ways...physically, mentally, spiritually and emotionally. We at the healing rooms constantly pray and study to become as proficient as Jesus. Sometimes people are healed instantly, sometimes they are healed by the next day, sometimes weeks later, sometimes through the hands of doctors and sometimes through what I consider the ultimate healing...stepping into the light of eternity. There are many reasons why some don't get healed as we expect, but that doesn't mean that Jesus doesn't heal today. I believe it is Jesus who does the healing through us. We are the body of Christ. It is his hands that touch the people through our's. We do not take any of the Glory for ourselves, but give it to God. There were some who Jesus didn't heal becasue of lack of faith. ( Matt. 13:58) Jesus did not heal everyone at the pool of Bethseda, only the one. Jesus certainly had the power. Why didn't he? Today we can't just go to hospitals and empty them out. I want to, but from speaking with my Pastor about it, I was informed of hospital rules. You can't just walk in and start praying for people. You have to be invited by the person or the person's family. Earlier you said something about Jesus healing, the apostles healing and the others who are mentined in the Bible as having a gift exclusive to themselves. You stated that today healing is wrought through the Holy Spirit. True, it is the Holy Spirit who heals and I believe it always has been. It is a gift of the Holy Spirit. Jesus after being baptised was full of the Holy Spirit (Luke 4:1), in Luke 9:1-2 the twelve were sent out on Jesus' Authority, same for the 70/72 sent out; after Jesus' resurrection he breathed on the disciples and said, "Receive the Holy Spirit." Many Old Testament characters were filled with the Spirit of God or the Spirit came on them to do mighty works. These scriptures tell me that it is the power of the Holy Spirit that heals and performs miracles. So everyone who is filled with the Holy Spirit and believes should be able to lay their hands on the sick and see them recover. The more I grow in my understanding of this principle, the greater the success rate I personally have. Why isn't everyone healed? Some don't believe, some don't really want to becasue to be healed would mean they would have to work again and only come for prayer on the insistance of family or friends, others are in sin and won't repent, still others are required first to do something like Naman the leaper who God required to bathe seven times in the Jordon, still others God wishes to bring healing through the hands of doctors for various reasons. These are just a few reasons, but none is because Jesus has stopped healing people. Hope this helps, Bows44 |

27 | Should a woman pursue a man? | Gen 39:7 | Bows44 | 159558 | ||
Hi Soldier, Read the Book of Ruth. In chapter 3, Naomi instructs Ruth on how to catch a man...Boaz. This I think is a good example of a woman pursuing a man and it was considered wise. Ruth was successful, too as chapter 4 tells about their marriage. :-) Hope this helps, Bows44 |

28 | Genesis 3:6 do you know what does it mea | Gen 3:6 | Bows44 | 159363 | ||
Hi BradK, I believe all scripture has some application to us today. This one I see as not only explaining how sin entered the world, but is a lesson to us on lust and pride leading to sin. saw that the tree was good for food...lust of the flesh it was a delight to the eyes...lust of the eye desirable to make one wise...pride of life The following scripture also speaks to this: 1 John 2:16 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. So when we lust after something not meant for us and/or have pride it will be with us as with Eve. We will eat the fruit of disobedience and will encourage others to do so as well. This will open the door in our lives to many undesirable things lest we repent quickly. Just my point of view. :-) Blessings, Bows44 |

29 | srry i dont see the blue letter | Bible general Archive 3 | Bows44 | 159305 | ||
Hi Makarios, This was actually a duplicate post. Lil Kea13 was not referring to a blue lettered Bible. Lil Kea13 is trying to figure out how to look at someone's forum profile. Apparantly, I am having a hard time explaining it to Lil Kea13. I meant to respond to this post as being a duplicate, but my computer crashed, then I had to cook dinner, mow the lawn, and have family time. So I just got back to the forum. :-) Maybe if my last post is unsuccessful at communicating to Lil Kea13 how to look at someone's profile, you can give it a shot? Blessings, Bows44 |

30 | r armor-bearers n use today? | Eph 6:11 | Bows44 | 159266 | ||
Hi Damondash, When you heard that minister say he was going to make a follower an armor bearer, he was more than likely referring to spiritually. A spiritual armor bearer covers the person in prayer and helps them in the ministry. I know many traveling ministers who use spiritual armor bearers. The armor bearer travels with them and helps them with what ever is needed for the minister to discharge his duties, including (but not limited to) prayer cover before and during meetings, resource table sales, carrying luggage and ministry materials, making travel arrangements, and being a confidant. Armor bearers today can be referred to as assistants. Most ministers need assistants. Sometimes the person who fills that role is the spouse, other times it is a trusted friend or follower of the same gender as the minister. In this sense, Jesus had armor bearers or assistants. The disciples filled this role, especially Peter, James and John. They helped with different aspects of Jesus' ministry. One example is preparing the upper room for passover. Hope this helps, Bows44 |

Hi Lil Kea13, Let me see...you want to see someone's profile right? Well..to the right of the title of a post (this that you are reading is a post) is the author's name. Click on it. On my computer the title of a post and the author's name is blue until you haved clicked on it, then it turns a kacki color. Your computer may have a different color scheme. Someone asked you before what your age is. Knowing this would help others in answering your questions. Does the 13 in your screen name stand for 13 years old? I won't get mad at you, but I don't know how to explain looking at someone's profile any clearer, so if you can't figure it out with this post, maybe you can just ask for the info you are looking for in a post. i.e. if you want my email to talk outside the forum it is kabuchitama@yahoo.com. Hope this helps, Bows44 |

32 | Adultry | Judg 16:1 | Bows44 | 159109 | ||
Hi NightJay, To which scripture are you referring? In some scriptures it means actual in the natural prostitutes (i.e. Gen. 34:31, 38:15, Lev. 19:29, Joshua 2:1.) In others, it is referring to spiritual prostitution (i.e. Ex. 34:15, Lev. 20:6, Judges 8:27.) Adultery is not exactly the same as prostitution. Adultery is sex between a married man and a woman not his wife or a woman and a man not her husband. A person who looks at another with lust in his/her heart has already committed adultery in his/her heart. (Matt. 5:28) According to Webster's New World Dictionary prostitute: 1. to sell the services of (oneself or another) for the purposes of sexual intercourse 2. to sell (oneself, one's artistic or moral integrity, etc) for low or unworthy purposes adj [rare] given over to base purposes; debased; corrupt n 1. a woman who engages in promiscuious sexual activity for pay; whore; harlot b) a man who engages in such activity, esp. homosexual acts, for pay 2. a person, as a writer, artist, etc., who sells his or her services for low or unworthy purposes Pick a scripture that uses one of these terms and we can discuss what God is trying to say. Sincerely, Bows44 |

Elijah who out ran a chariot. 1 Kings 18:44-46 44 The seventh time the servant reported, "A cloud as small as a man's hand is rising from the sea." So Elijah said, "Go and tell Ahab, 'Hitch up your chariot and go down before the rain stops you.' " 45 Meanwhile, the sky grew black with clouds, the wind rose, a heavy rain came on and Ahab rode off to Jezreel. 46 The power of the LORD came upon Elijah and, tucking his cloak into his belt, he ran ahead of Ahab all the way to Jezreel.

35 | Are menstrual cloths disgusting to God?? | Is 64:6 | Bows44 | 159066 | ||
Dear Starfire, I am glad that my thoughts have helped you and your willingness to discuss this issue openly for the benefit of others. As Mark pointed out, Eve had probably not had children yet, but if there had been no sin things would have been easier. I know a few women today who claim that based on Gal 3:13 they have been redeemed from the curse and have very little pain in bearing children. Also, no menstrual cramps or PMS, and some ladies I know have had no menopausal symptoms either by claiming this promise. So maybe that is a glimpse of womanhood without the curse? God bless you sister, Bows44 |

38 | ISA 64:6 My idea of vile differsSTRONGLY | Is 64:6 | Bows44 | 159048 | ||
Hi Starfire, Menstrual blood can be infected and infectious if the lady in question has an STD. As for being clean or unclean, I'll have to study it some more, but basically my understanding is that one who is unclean could contain germs and these laws were for the protection of the nation. God knew all about what causes sickness way before man discovered bacteria and viruses. Believe me, God has nothing against women. He loves us ladies! :-) If you want to discuss this topic further in a more private setting, feel free to contact me at kabuchitama@yahoo.com. Hope this helps, Bows44 |

39 | Are menstrual cloths disgusting to God?? | Is 64:6 | Bows44 | 159045 | ||
Hi Starfire, Just a few thoughts... 1. Life is in the blood, not blood brings forth life. (Lev. 17:11,14; Deut. 12:23) 2. God breathed life into man and he became a living soul. (Gen. 2:7) 3. The curse was multiplied pain in child birth, not child birth itself. God wants people to have babies and have dominion over the earth. (Gen. 3:16; Gen. 1:28) 4. The menstual blood is dead blood. It is what is shed from the uterus when a baby is not conceived. Therefore there is no longer any life in it. 5. Used menstrual cloths smell bad and you have to admit are disgusting. That is why we wrap them up and throw them in the trash. Conclusion: our righteousness is dead, has no life, smells bad, worthless and needs to be throw away. Therefore the comparison. God is not against the natural flow that he created. He is against us trying to earn our salvation. This graphic picture is used to make a point of how God sees our righteousness and to show us how much we need to trust in the righteousness of Jesus and the finished work of the cross for our salvation. Hope this helps, Bows44 |
