21 | How do forgive my dad for his wrong? | John | Jesusfreak345 | 150883 | ||
I don't necessarily know what your dad has done to you, whether it be mentally or physically, but I can share my story with you and it may shine some light on your situation. Here goes: My mother left me when I was seven years of age, which, in turn, resulted in devistating affects. I can still remember being dropped off at my fathers house and her telling me not to cry about her leaving and to be strong. Remembering the moment when she drove off in her car and rounded the corner was the worst moment in my life. I ended up sitting at that window asking why she went away. Why she seemingly didn't love me. If it was me. I sat there until bed time for I believe three days unitl realized what had happened. I got extremely depressed. She came back. Only when I was nine. She did the same thing again, ended up leaving while I was attached to her, but this time I did cry. I cried in fear, hatred, anguish and pain. My heart felt like it was going to stop it hurt so much (The reason I am being so dramatic is because it has to do with what happened next). I came to know who Satan was...and I loved him. I became a Satanist and, in my personal opinion and I believe my step-mothers' as well, I was possessed. But then there's the good part. I went to church a little more than 3 years later, which led me to a conference called Dare2Share, which has led Satan to hate God and me even more. I became a Christian in 2003 and am now 16, however, becoming a Christian didn't solve all of my problems, it only gave me a link to God through Jesus Christ. My father(physical) taught me many valuable lessons, but I like this one the best. That a life is meant to live. But that life that you yourself are living now is a life that is going to get harder. People will ridicule you for your faith. People that are "of the world," as Jesus said in John 8:37-47, are "of Satan." Jesus' life in general shows us that those who do not know that He is God will resist what is righteous. That's why it gets so much harder fro Christians but yet, at the same time, it's so much easier. We as Christians know a God who will take care of us and will give us peace and strength. That's where it becomes easier at the same time. God takes away our burdens if we ask Him to. Now, back to my experience. Since I grew up having the train of thought that I was the reason my mother left, Satan had me convinced that God had to forgive "me." This was true but Satan is the chief of all liars and he perverted the truth. He didn't give me the whole truth. God did have to forgive me in order for me to be in the presence of Jesus Christ, but there was another reason He had to forgive me. He had to forgive me in order for Him to listen to me because God wont participate in sin. Only recently did I really start forgiving. I still had a burden on my heart. I was still convinced that it was my fault my mother left. But it wasn't. I asked God to forgive her for what she had done to "me" and to help me forget that it happened (When I say "forget" I mean being able to move on). I may not ever literally forget what happened but I'll tell you this much. I felt more free than anyone on earth at that moment because that burden was no longer being carried. That's what you have to do. You have to ask God to forgive your father, no matter what he did to you. Then ask Him to help you "forget." Then, after all that, "allow" God to take you from there and move you in right direction because I can tell you right now that every testamony of yours has a purpose, whatever it may be. Allow God to come to where you are now. Allow Him to meet you where "you" are. Not where everyone else wants you to be. |

22 | Clean Slate statement | Not Specified | Jesusfreak345 | 150880 | ||
I have a friend that's not christian who disagrees with many aspects of the bible but mainly one inparticular. The fact that we are all born (as in coming out on the ER table) sinners. He thinks that we should all start off with a "clean slate" as he so carefully states. I wonder what the answer to this as well. However I do not wish to question Gods decisions, but asking for an answer from someone much farther along with their relationship with Jesus Christ is not questioning Gods ultimate decision to allow mankind to be sinful. I just want to know whether or not anyone can provide me with some defense in which I can use against the "clean slate" statement made by my friend? I also would like to ask if anyone can give me bible references in which I can back up my answer and if not, I still wish to be able to answer these types of questions he may inevitabley dish out, even if it means without the bible but with common sense and morality. | ||||||

26 | How do I learn to " walk in the Spirit"? | Bible general Archive 2 | Jesusfreak345 | 150744 | ||
2 Corinthians 5:7 (New International Version) (7)We live by faith, not by sight. Proverbs 2:7 (New International Version) (7) He holds victory in store for the upright, he is a shield to those whose walk is blameless. John 14:16-17 (New King James Version) (16)And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever-- (17)the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. Romans 8:1-4 (New King James Version) (1)There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. (2)For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. (3)For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh, (4)that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. Another way to "walk in the Spirit," is ask yourself this question every time you make a decision, What would Jesus do? No matter if it's good or bad. We as Christians are called to be Christ "like." We are called to try to follow Jesus Christ as best we can. I like what Josh Mcdowell wrote in his book Evidence for Joy, which I urge you to look into. 'How do you define self-acceptance? To me, acceptance is knowing who you are, who made you who you are, and giving God the glory. You can be at ease with yourself when you "know" "God"(these are suppose to be italicized but are obviously in quotation marks) has made you the unique person you are. Note the two italicized words in the previous sentence: know and God. That is the theme of this book-knowing God. Because knowing God will tellus all we need to know about ourselves. God's plans are perfect, so He must have known what He was doing when He made you. And you know what? He's not finished with you yet! So, don't get discouraged with flaws in your life, because the process of making you like Christ will take a lifetime. Your confidence in the design of the final product is in knowing He's in charge. You don't have to strain to be someone you're not. You can relax and be the person God made you while being thankful for the changes He is making in you. God is in charge of the process as well as the final product. Unfortunately, it's one thing to believe in God's plan but another thing to live it. One reason this is so is because behind much of the disenegration of an individual's self-concept is another problem-a deep sense of insecurity, an inablility to face life's crises with confidence and assurance. A deep vacuum of uncertainty fills many lives. Possessions, people, or power are some of the straws grasped to fill that void. Nothing seems to work. The pain persists. Here again, knowing God provides the starting point from which the process of real Christian growth charts its journey. And in the matter of security, you start with who God is and what He is able to do for you. If security can be defined as that sense of confidence, assurance, and contentment with life that comes from knowing God, through Christ, personally, then being really convinced, mentally and emotionally, that God is in control if your life brings contentment with the outcome.' |

29 | results of peace with God | Proverbs | Jesusfreak345 | 150692 | ||
Your first request- proverbs 16:7. First, its basically saying that you need to live at peace with God in your own heart. Look at 1 Corinthians 10:13. Then it goes on to say that your enemies, meaning those who do not love Jesus, will notice the way you act and respond compared to other people when they ridicule you. They will feel, most likely, that what they did was wrong and may or may not apologize. In Romans 5:1-2, its refering to Gods own personal peace with you. Psalm 11:5- 5The LORD tests the righteous and the wicked, And the one who loves violence His soul hates.Its saying that if you know Jesus Christ as your Lord and you continue to lead your life as Jesus did (not exactly of course. no one can be perfect) then Gods soul is at peace with you. The last three however, I do not see how they are relating to Gods peace |

30 | Does God answer the prayers on a sinner? | Isaiah | Jesusfreak345 | 150687 | ||
Isaiah 59:1-4 1Behold, the LORD'S hand is not so short That it cannot save; Nor is His ear so dull That it cannot hear. 2But your iniquities have made a separation between you and your God, And your sins have hidden His face from you so that He does not hear. 3For your hands are defiled with blood And your fingers with iniquity; Your lips have spoken falsehood, Your tongue mutters wickedness. 4No one sues righteously and no one pleads honestly They trust in confusion and speak lies; They conceive mischief and bring forth iniquity. Isaiah 1:2-17 2Listen, O heavens, and hear, O earth; For the LORD speaks, "Sons I have reared and brought up, But they have revolted against Me. 3"An ox knows its owner, And a donkey its master's manger, But Israel does not know, My people do not understand." 4Alas, sinful nation, People weighed down with iniquity, Offspring of evildoers, Sons who act corruptly! They have abandoned the LORD, They have despised the Holy One of Israel, They have turned away from Him. 5Where will you be stricken again, As you continue in your rebellion? The whole head is sick And the whole heart is faint. 6From the sole of the foot even to the head There is nothing sound in it, Only bruises, welts and raw wounds, Not pressed out or bandaged, Nor softened with oil. 7Your land is desolate, Your cities are burned with fire, Your fields--strangers are devouring them in your presence; It is desolation, as overthrown by strangers. 8The daughter of Zion is left like a shelter in a vineyard, Like a watchman's hut in a cucumber field, like a besieged city. 9Unless the LORD of hosts Had left us a few survivors, We would be like Sodom, We would be like Gomorrah. God Has Had Enough 10Hear the word of the LORD, You rulers of Sodom; Give ear to the instruction of our God, You people of Gomorrah. 11"What are your multiplied sacrifices to Me?" Says the LORD. "I have had enough of burnt offerings of rams And the fat of fed cattle; And I take no pleasure in the blood of bulls, lambs or goats. 12"When you come to appear before Me, Who requires of you this trampling of My courts? 13"Bring your worthless offerings no longer, Incense is an abomination to Me New moon and sabbath, the calling of assemblies-- I cannot endure iniquity and the solemn assembly. 14"I hate your new moon festivals and your appointed feasts, They have become a burden to Me; I am weary of bearing them. 15"So when you spread out your hands in prayer, I will hide My eyes from you; Yes, even though you multiply prayers, I will not listen Your hands are covered with blood. 16"Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean; Remove the evil of your deeds from My sight Cease to do evil, 17Learn to do good; Seek justice, Reprove the ruthless, Defend the orphan, Plead for the widow. |

31 | How does Paul and Peter differ | Acts | Jesusfreak345 | 150605 | ||
Peter and Paul are different in many ways. The way they became followers of Jesus Christ, how they walked in the relationship they had with Jesus, how they die, and many more. If you want to see the differences between Peter and Paul, just read the book of Acts. Pay attention to what it saids and you'll understand what I am talking about. | ||||||
32 | How to empower others to go and serve? | Proverbs | Jesusfreak345 | 150253 | ||
I just found these verses which are in Romans It's 15:1-13. Look it up for yourself. 'Now we who are strong ought to bear the weaknesses of those without strength and not just please ourselves. Each of us is to please his neighbor for his good, to his edification. For even Christ did not please Himself; but as it is written, "THE REPROACHES OF THOSE WHO REPROACHED YOU FELL ON ME." For whatever was written in earlier times was written for our instruction, so that through perseverance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope. Now may the God who gives perseverance and encouragement grant you to be of the same mind with one another according to Christ Jesus, so that with one accord you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, accept one another, just as Christ also accepted us to the glory of God. For I say that Christ has become a servant to the circumcision on behalf of the truth of God to confirm the promises given to the fathers, and for the Gentiles to glorify God for His mercy; as it is written, "THEREFORE I WILL GIVE PRAISE TO YOU AMONG THE GENTILES, AND I WILL SING TO YOUR NAME." Again he says, "REJOICE, O GENTILES, WITH HIS PEOPLE." And again, "PRAISE THE LORD ALL YOU GENTILES, AND LET ALL THE PEOPLES PRAISE HIM." Again Isaiah says, "THERE SHALL COME THE ROOT OF JESSE, AND HE WHO ARISES TO RULE OVER THE GENTILES, IN HIM SHALL THE GENTILES HOPE." Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you will abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. |

33 | How to empower others to go and serve? | Proverbs | Jesusfreak345 | 150249 | ||
You can encourage some of your Christian friends by giving them this verse. Paul wrote it to a church in Corinth, which he helped start. He was encouraging and empower the christians in Corinth by writing them letters, which was really the only thing he could do because he was in jail. The verse is 1 Corithians 10:13. 'No temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man; and God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, so that you will be able to endure it.' |
