21 | How do you "share the Gospel?" | Not Specified | Mommapbs | 99998 | ||
Many believers think that their responsibility is to bring people to church so they can hear the Gospel. Is this what Jesus had in mind when He told us to make disciples? "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit,teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Matthew 28:19,20 "but you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth." Acts 1:8 "but sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and reverence;" 1 Peter 3:15 How do you "share the Gospel?" |

22 | Did Jesus have to die? | Not Specified | Mommapbs | 113206 | ||
Are we ready to answer questions surrounding Mel Gibson's film, "The Passion of the Christ"? Assuming we all agree that each of us had a role in His death and ignoring the worldly controversy over "who kiied Jesus", let's consider these questions: Why did Jesus die? And also, did Jesus HAVE to die? Please support your answers! As this film impacts our society, I trust that we, as believers, will be prepared to give an answer to all who ask about the hope that we have in the Lord. (1 Peter 3:15) |

25 | The "goodness" of man? | Not Specified | Mommapbs | 144923 | ||
Recently, I had a conversation with an individual who declared that man's basic problem with his identity and self esteem lies in the fact that he is unwilling to believe in his own goodness. I'd appreciate some input on this "philosophy." Please support your comments with Scripture. Thanks! Blessings, mommapbs |

26 | How to "win the world" ? | Bible general Archive 2 | Mommapbs | 92795 | ||
I have noticed that many churches across America have (to me anyway) no semblence of a house of worship. I'm told that they are intentionally designed this way so that "unchurched" people will not feel threatened when they walk in. We have music that blasts as loud as rock concerts, drums, guitars, lights and sound sytems to rival any concert hall, comfortable seats, ample parking, and even food courts(!) It's all in the packaging, so I'm told . . . our job is to get 'em in the door, make 'em feel welcome and "at home" so that they can "hear the Gospel" and the Holy Spirit will do the rest. Is this meeting the needs of the world or "conforming" to the world? Is this necessary to reach the world with the Gospel? |

Greetings Emmaus!(I had thought about attending a Catholic service on Sunday!) Needless to say, I recognize the Great Commission, but I am having a difficult time seeing the need to "recreate" the world's environment within the walls of the church. Bottom line is that it is the environment of the heart of the body that must reflect the character and nature of God toward the "lost"! As those who are "different" come into our midst, how do we respond? With love and compassion . . . seeing them as God sees them, deeply loved - how was THAT love expressed? Does OUR love look like that? (ouch!) Anyway, God is dealing with me on this right now and I'm just trying to put it all together. We are to love our enemies and bless those who persecute us - how do we love them? By seeing them through God's eyes. Who are our enemies? Are they God's enemies? We were once God's enemies too . . . upon reflection of this fact, how might this make a difference in the way we respond to those who have yet to know Him too? Just musing - thanks for the book suggestion. mommapbs |

Thanks for the article - yes, this is just how it is. I am so saddened by our corporate desire to emulate the things of the world, using the familiar trappings of modern society as a "hook" - as if the Holy Spirit needs "help." Perhaps when they start selling popcorn others will realize where they really are. mommapbs |

Hank, you asked: "The big question is, are they being fed in an atmosphere that resembles a carnival or a rock concert more than the church of the Lord Jesus Christ?" What, in your mind, would be the elements necessary to distinguish a church from a concert hall? How does one create the "atmosphere" of sacredness? (Can it really be done?) The emphasis of my church is to "get em in and get em saved." Sadly, the numbers game of church growth has triumphed again and those older folks are being cast aside, to make room for the younger generation who needs the Gospel - the youth are the source of church growth don't you know! So now what do we have, a bunch of young bucks, with lots of vim and vigor who have come with a "better way" to win souls . . . I like your observation about the feeding of the 5,000 - they were hungry and Jesus fed they what they needed - are we feeding them what they need or what they want? Knowing you need something is not the same as wanting it. I guess you can see that I rather upset about the theatrical, peformer orientated "worship" that so characterizes the modern "evangelical" church today! Is nothing sacred anymore? mommapbs |

Greetings! It seems to me that after 80 or so postings, you would be willing to share some information about yourself. Please go to "update user info" so that we might know a little more about you. As far as your observation about "authority" . . . Makarios has cited an excellent reference (Acts 17:11) that challenges EACH of us to search the scriptures to see if what is being written is accurate! mommapbs PS: Phil 3:15 |

35 | WHERE WAS ADAM WHEN EVE WAS TRICKED | Bible general Archive 2 | Mommapbs | 97200 | ||
Greetings SOG and welcome to the Forum. Although Scripture does not specifically say, it is interesting to speculate on this a bit and consider the implications of such. Since Eve was created to be Adam's helper, wouldn't it be likely to conclude that she was right beside him? And if Eve was beside Adam, he was beside her during this conversation. Doesn't it kinda make you wonder why he he did nothing to discourage Eve from listening to the serpent? Perhaps he was the one who was really "hungry!" Also, could you please turn your caps lock off? Thanks for being understanding about this! Blessings, mommapbs |

Greetings Hank! Loved your reply! Do you think that anything would be different had Adam eaten the "forbidden fruit" first? Why is it that we tend to lay such a guilt trip on Eve? Just wondering . . . mommapbs |

39 | Halloween | Bible general Archive 2 | Mommapbs | 97977 | ||
Makarios offered this in the archives: "Halloween The worshipers of satan view Halloween as a holy day, a very important time designed for them by satan so that they can provide additional sacrifices to him. They feel that sacrifices are necessary for their cleansing, only then will their father smile upon them with his true love and blessing. The satanic cults have a structured religious order starting with a priest or priestess, which is a mockery of the Church of Jesus Christ. They are primarily concerned with taking away the innocence of children and defying the plans of the saints. Halloween is not satan's birthday. satan was created in heaven by God, but he was called Lucifer at that time. He was one of the most beautiful and most powerful angels, and he guarded the throne of God. However, he wanted to become God and was envious of God's power, so he rebelled against Him. As a consequence, God threw Lucifer and all his followers (which was a third of the angels) out of heaven. Lucifer became satan, and the fallen angels became identified as demons. satan hates the name of our Lord and all those who follow Jesus (including you and me). satan is active and busy destroying mankind while his time is short on this earth, where he and his demons are imprisoned. Jesus Christ has frightened them by creating an eternal lake of fire for them, and satan wants nothing more than all of God's creation to fry in hell with him. Unfortunately, he'll sway most of the people because of their rejection of our Savior Jesus Christ. Halloween is just one of the master deceiver's tricks. Kids love Halloween because it comes across as both scary and fun. However, Halloween is also loved by satanists and witches since it is their most solemn ceremony of the year. As we get closer to the Second Coming of Jesus, satanism and human sacrifice will only increase, and followers of satan use various techniques to obtain more blood for their master. They plant razor blades, crushed glass, pins, inject special poisons and drugs, syringes, and speak special incantations to curse the treats that they hand out. They believe that satan will be pleased with their accomplishments. They also believe that they will rule and reign with satan in hell, but never be tormented. However, satan's "trick" is getting people to serve him, and his "treat" is for them to burn for eternity. satan will be tormented in hell. Halloween comes from the merging traditions of All Hallow's Eve and Evening. They started in the British Isles with the Druid custom of setting up human sacrifices. This particular night of terror was known as "Samhain." The Druids went from house to house and demanded a child or a virgin for sacrifice. They believed that only "the fruit of the body" offered to Satan was for the "sin of the soul." In exchange, they would leave a jack-o-lantern with a lighted candle made of human fat to prevent those inside from being killed by death demons that night. When some unfortunate family couldn't meet the demands of the Druids, then they drew a symbolic hex on their front door, symbolizing that night that satan or his demons would kill someone in that home. satan's sacrifices are a mockery of God's perfect sacrifice for our sins. However, the Lord Jesus Christ is able to conquer satan anytime, anyplace. At the end of time, all believers in Christ throughout all the ages past will rejoice in watching and being a part of the defeat of satan and his demons! The archangel Michael will at that time be allowed to do what he has always wanted to do to satan. If you are not on the winning side, then I suggest that you would think twice about foregoing eternal life with Jesus Christ! If you are not sure of your salvation in Jesus Christ, then I hope you cannot get to sleep tonight until you have that assurance. However, witchcraft is on the rise today and our most effective counterattack is the prayers of all the saints all over the world." by Nolan Keck, 10-26-95, revised 10-30-00. |
