Are you teaching in front of the congregation, or sunday school class, or Bible study? Is the class or study going through a particular book of the Bible or is it topical? Is it for children, youth, young adults or mature adults? | ||||||
22 | Should Women Pastor Churches or Preach | Bible general Archive 2 | following him | 128076 | ||
This question has been discussed at length in other streams. Do a search on women pastors and I'm sure you'll find views from all sides of this issue. Regarding them preaching in the pulpit of any church. No one male or female whether they be a pastor or not would be allowed to preach or teach in the church I belong to unless they were well known and docternally(?) sound and of good reputation in morals and ethics. Position in the church: I would say that would be up to the particular church which ever side of the issue they fall on. New Testament: When does the NT become non applicable to today? 200AD, 600AD, 900AD, 1200AD, 1800AD, 2000AD? If one part of it is not applicable for today who is to say any of it is? |

Hello New Creature: This is where I believe regeneration starts: 2 Cor 5:17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come. But I don't believe it is a finished work we still need purification Titus 2:14 who gave Himself for us to redeem us from every lawless deed, and to purify for Himself a people for His own possession, zealous for good deeds. But the great thing is the One who started it will also finish it. Phil 1:6 For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus. His grace and peace to you |

Good evening New Creature: In response to your question I would say we are active but only as one responding to the direction of the Lord: For example see the scriptures below the works we do are originated in God. He prepared them that we should walk in them. Our response is to walk in them. Eph 2:10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them. Here our deliverence from temptation is one God creates for us it is our response to something He has provided for us that we use to escape. 1 Cor 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. Rom 8:11 But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you. Rom 8:13 for if you are living according to the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you are putting to death the deeds of the body, you will live. Rom 8:14 For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. Rom 8:26 In the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words; - The Spirit gives life to our mortal Bodies - By the Spirit we put to death the deeds of the flesh. - You are a son of God if you are being led by the Spirit - The spirit interceeds for us. Rom 8:28 And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. Rom 8:29 For those whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brethren; Rom 8:30 and these whom He predestined, He also called; and these whom He called, He also justified; and these whom He justified, He also glorified. - God causes all thing to work for our good - In Rom 8:29-30 you can see our progress from glory to glory is realy God's work being performed in us. We only respond to Him. If we will not respond to Him then I would say that would be living according to the flesh (see Rom 8:13 above) and regeneration does not take place. |

Good morning New creature: You asked if: “Do you believe the Holy Spirit dwells even in unbelievers, and remains inactive in them, until some at point in their lives they become aware of His indwelling presence, and at this point they begin actively responding to Him?” No. I believe the Holy Spirit only indwells believers. The influence of the Holy Spirit is an external one (What I mean by that is He works from the outside as He influences the inside) to unbelievers. This scriptures shows what spirit is influencing unbelievers: of which we were all part of. Eph 2:1-3 1And you were dead in your trespasses and sins, 2in which you formerly walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience. 3Among them we too all formerly lived in the lusts of our flesh, indulging the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest. This scripture show that there is a big difference between the two groups and that God dwells in one and not the other. 2 Cor 6:14-18 14Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness? 15What harmony is there between Christ and Belial? What does a believer have in common with an unbeliever? 16What agreement is there between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said: "I will live with them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be my people." 17"Therefore come out from them and be separate, says the Lord. Touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you." 18"I will be a Father to you, and you will be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty." Here we see that we are sealed after we believe. Ephesians 1:13 In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation--having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise, Here it says that those who believed in Him received the Holy Spirit John 7:38-39 38 "He who believes in Me, as the Scripture said, 'From his innermost being will flow rivers of living water.'" But this He spoke of the Spirit, whom those who believed in Him were to receive; for the Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified. Grace and peace to you P.S. You say that this is a survey? Will you share with us your findings? I would love to see the results. |

27 | What is God's major attribute? | Bible general Archive 2 | following him | 129568 | ||
Hello tgbishop: I would say that God’s major attribute is His sovereignty. It is upon this that I believe everything else rests. He will judge the nations by the standard of His holiness but it is His sovereignty that gives Him the right to judge in the first place. It is by His sovereignty that He has the right and ability to set up His holiness as the standard. Read the book of Job; it is a perfect example of the sovereignty of God and the fact that He extends mercy to who He wishes i.e Job and judges whom He wishes i.e. Job’s friends. It is by His sovereignty that He is able to say that salvation is through no other name but Jesus. It is by His sovereignty that He set all of creation in motion. We appeal to God for justice or help or strength based upon His ability to give it. We can have confidence to come to Him knowing that He can deliver us and that He desires to do so. Blessing to you Aaron |

28 | what is the cup | Bible general Archive 2 | following him | 130016 | ||
Welcome to the forum Grandma Dee; In this case the cup is refering to the coming events of His arrest, trial and execution upon the cross. He knew this was the plan of God for the redemption of man. It was even for Christ a difficult thing to face this type of death yet He did so willingly as shown by His desire that the Father's will be done not His. The cup might be comparred to fate. Youv'e heard the term "the cup of life" (not refering to spiritual things) refering to things in this life that we experience. That is how I understand it. Maybe someone else on the forum can explain it better. Blessing to you Aaron |

29 | More quotable paragraph breaks for NASB? | Bible general Archive 2 | following him | 131281 | ||
Hello Reighnskye; Years ago I was involve in Intervarsity Christian Fellowship at the college I attended. While there I went to a week long retreat to Catelina Island off the coast of california with them. There the particular program I was involved in was a study of the first half of the book of Mark. We spent about 5 days for 6-7 hour per day doing nothing but studying those first eight chapters. What you might be interested in was the method we used to do the study. They call it a Manuscript study. They used the NIV though but it will work with any version. They took the first eight chapters and took all the chapter breaks and verse divsion out and ran all the sentances together separated only by the punctuation which they left in. Then during the study we as a classs after reading the manuscript decided where to put paragraph breaks. We then would go through highlighting and circling repeated words or phrases then connecting the repeated words together to see how the sections of manuscript were connected. By locating repeated words we began to see what was important to the writer. It helped to discover context and the ideas the writeer wanted to get across. There were other thing we looked for as well but needless to say I was so impressed by what we discovered in the scripture that this became my primary way of studying ever since. Realise though that even using this method some paragraghs will be more than 4 verses. If you want more information you can probably contact Intervarsity Christain Fellowship and ask them about it. If you want to contact me personally about it my e-mail address is; aerberich@ev1.net Blessing to you Aaron |

Hello Moey; Glory Bound is correct about the vows before God. They are still married in the sight of God. However your comments about "The Catholic church is not the true church..." has coaught my attention. Although I am not a catholic, I was raised one, I grew up in a catholic church that seemed to be dead spiritually. However since giving My life to Christ, I has since come across catholics who attend other catholic churches in my area that are very much alive spiritually. And at the same time come across protestant or non-denominational churches that are dead spiritually. My supervisor at work is a catholic and when we talk the conversation aways (by his doing) turns to Christ and worshiping Him. Emmaus who is on this forum is a catholic and has on different occasions brought a great deal of insight to questions I've had. I have come to have a great deal of respect for him. I would suggest that you reevaluate you opinion that "The Catholic church is not the true church..." In the denominational and the non-denomination churches there are bad churches, OK curches, good churches and great churches. If you have had a bad experience in one please dont judge all the rest based on that one. Aaron |

31 | Studying beyond reading | Bible general Archive 2 | following him | 131609 | ||
Hello Jo; Country Girl hinted at it, but you must be at least 18 yrs. to participate on this forum. I say this not to discourage you from coming on but just so that you are aware of the rules. But besides that someone on this forum mention a Bible software site e-sword.net where you can download for free, software to use in your study. I am using it now and have been very impressed by it. If you want to dig deeper into the Bible try looking into why we Christians believe what we believe. Do some topical studies. Find out what the Bible teaches concerning: The Trinity, salvation by faith vs works, what it means to be a new creature (2 Cor 5:17), select a topic that is being discussed here on the forum and do your own study on it. Just a few suggestions Blessing to you Aaron |

33 | Cor 13:13 And now abideth faith, hope... | Bible general Archive 2 | following him | 132194 | ||
Charity is the word used by the King James Version of the Bible which was writen in 1611. The original word in the manuscripts is agape. Today we translate it as love in 1611 they translated it charity. Both words refer to the same thing. The verse you are refering to about adding or deleting a word from the Bible is Rev 22:18-19 "I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues which are written in this book; and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his part from the tree of life and from the holy city, which are written in this book." This verse is specifically talking about changing words in this particular book i.e. the Book of Revelation not the rest of the Bible. although I believe the same applies. However in this case the word was not changed. It is still agape (love/charity) and refers to the same now as it did then. |

35 | The Bible written in code ? | Bible general Archive 2 | following him | 144928 | ||
Good morning Hank: You are so right about this. The word of God was given and inspire by God to reveal Jesus not hide Him. I've read both the original "Bible Code" and "Bible Code II" the first I found very interesting but I was sceptical. The second basicaly was geared to show that God was some exterestial alian who computer was the source of the Bible and its space craft was buried near the Dead sea in the west bank in Israel where no one can get to because of territorial desputes. What a crock. Blessing to you Aaron |

36 | Old testament proofs/prophesy of Christ | OT general | following him | 121551 | ||
You can start at Genesis chapter 3. It details the fall of man and also promises deliverance. In talking to the serpent God said He would put inmity between the woman and the serpent and between her seed and his. His seed will bruise her seeds heel but her seed would bruise his seed's head. This is in reference to Christ destroying Satan. But there are many others. Many are in the form of prefigurations ie prophecies acted out see Gen 22 for example. | ||||||
37 | Study of the minor prophets? | OT general | following him | 127539 | ||
A few months ago someone had the idea of doing an actual Bible study through one of the minor prophets. Is anyone still interested? If so I will propose a format for us to follow. Then if we agree to the format we can start. | ||||||
38 | Study of the minor prophets? | OT general | following him | 127554 | ||
I'm thinking that we can start with Joel. It's a short book that will test whatever format we use. After that we make adjustments and move on to another book. As for the format: See following outline Joel study: Background Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 The Background would be where anyone wanting to add any historical, social, information for the book. It would basicaly be the intro to the book. The Chapter sub streams would be where the actual studying will be happening. It may be that it will be smaller divisions based on if the chapter can be clearly divided into smaller sections or not. Anyone will be able to add their input at any point of the book under the proper sub-stream (chapter division). The difficult part would be to restrict discussion to only the passage and not get off on tangents within the study stream. Each Chapter or section stream would start with the actual Biblical text of that section. Then those who wish to add thoughts would do so under that sub-stream. This would make it easy for the entire book to be set up at one time. Does this sound feasible? |

39 | Study of the minor prophets? | OT general | following him | 127637 | ||
Hello DocTrinsograce; Thanks for your interest in participating in this study. Actually there is no reason once the study of Joel is formated a study for Habakkuk could also be formated. Anyone would be able to join in at any time. However studying multiple books at one time can be overwhelming. I suggest as soon as we see how the response to the study in Joel is going we can set one up for Hab. We can use Joel as a test to see if it works. My biggest concern is that the postings for the study will get all mixed up with the rest of the postings on the forum. Perhaps I will send a suggestion to the Lockman foundation about this. Blessings to you |
