21 | Defend the Offender-Attack the Offended? | Bible general | jeremiah1five | 241665 | ||
Conflict of interest. The exercise of a gift in Christ is a command. Even I know to not interfere when one of my brethren is exercising their gift under command of Christ. Restricting is the same as muzzling the Holy Spirit and denying the Life of Christ in His people. But I don't think you understand nor obey this as you restrict another in the body of obeying theirs. You have already declared yourself that when Israel gathered before the Holiness of the Lord at the Tabernacle that they would also have to follow the modes of behavior of the heathens that surrounded Israel when you also add to the Bible and the Word of God that when Christians gather they must also behave according to worldly standards. God's Law is for God's people and He has covered all bases and possibilities in His people. Christians do not gather and then are compelled to behave as the ungodly world does, but that is your position. I don't agree with it and neither does the Word of God. We have the Law, the Psalms, and the Prophets that dictate our behavior before God and among brethren, but you will add to that Counsel by compelling Christian brethren they must also obey the world. I have already been at that crossroad. I choose to obey God, not Caesar. By the way...there are no rights in the kingdom of God. There's only obedience and disobedience. But persons like you have Americanized the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ. I had seriously thought well of my participation early on about this site, but your behavior towards me and Christ in me with your secular human rules has quenched the Spirit in me. You can tell I know the Word even if how I see God and the things of God do not "square" with you. Your friend justme was wrong to imply that I had ill "feelings" about Lockman and to not obey Matthew 18:15 if this person was in some way offended when I was not speaking to that person offends ME because that is NOT how Christians are to handle such things. The Word of God tells me what to believe, I don't tell the Word of God what to say. And for you to defend the offender and attack the offended as though I sinned or did something wrong is offense against me and Christ in me. I don't step on your call (if you know what that is) nor do I step on your gift and you should not step on mine. But you have the button and try to restrict the Holy Spirit in me with your worldly thinking about privilege and "rights" is an affront to others in the Body of Christ whether they are aware or now. And I don't mind being called "Jer" except I prefer the lower-case "j." There is only one Jeremiah. I am only in power and spirit. So, now what? You going to continue to restrict my voice? You are practicing spiritual dictatorship, Doc. And it is ungodly. | ||||||

So, in other words...doctrine and Christ's teaching means nothing and what you know to do right is to do nothing at all. Why study the Bible if in the end for matters directly in the hands of individuals of faith that we can just wash our hands to things we are commanded to do or not do and then take a hands-off approach and dump things in His lap which is really a cop-out and disobedience and NO ACCOUNTABILITY. I don't believe I read that from a Christian. Just my Biblical-sense worth. | ||||||

I just cannot believe the busi-bodiness of some that call themselves Christian and interfere lacking wisdom to say nothing. Now, do you see all this that justme has caused? Now I am being "corrected" or "counseled" or ostracized all because justme thinks that this Christian lives by my feelings instead of by every word from the mouth of God. Now Steve wants to stick his nose into this and have a say when it is between myself and justme and justme is unwilling to be obedient and apologize and NEVER do that again to me. Obviously, the dynamic of Christian fellowship is not practiced here. Now I am being accused of exercising my spiritual gift "unseemly?" Do you know the KJV translators use the word "devil" to translate the Greek word for false accuser? How many devils are at Lockman anyway if each time someone opens their keyboard I am falsely accused of something? JUSTME! ARE YOU WITNESSING THIS BULL-DUNG YOU STARTED?? What are you going to do now that you've caused still another to accuse me of something before you address my comment? (Matt. 18:15.) You made the Moderator take sides against me, steve take sides against me, and CDBJ bring their busi-bodiness into your false accusation and interpretation of my "feelings" and the tongue is a world of iniquity that you have set the course of this fire. What are you going to do? Lord, have mercy! Here we have some sharp minds concerning the Word of God but NO ONE IS BEING OBEDIENT AND APPLYING THE WORD! Is this for real?? |

26 | Where is Heaven ? | Bible general | jeremiah1five | 241765 | ||
Hello Tracylynnwoods1975, if I may...there are only two "heavens" in creation, the atmosphere from the ground to where outer space begins, and outer space where the moon, earth, planets, galaxies, and stars reside. There is also a third "heaven," which is open to various interpretations. I tend to believe third "heaven" to be the Garden of Eden. Outside of these three "heavens" I do not believe God lives or resides in a "heaven" outside creation. In this instance "heaven" in not a place. "Heaven" is a Person. | ||||||
27 | Could you please give some scriptural re | Bible general | jeremiah1five | 241768 | ||
My conclusion comes through reason (Isa. 1:18), and through the Scripture defining the Hebrew word "heaven" along with the question of where Enoch, Elijah, and Moses were prior to the Lord's Transfiguration. I have never committed such a study to paper, and it is not something I have yet to declare as Bible. But you can see that I said "I tend to believe" in hopes that other brethren who may have looked at the question may have a part joined to my part joined to brother so-so's part that we might see the whole. This is the wonder and glory of the Body of Christ in its element. | ||||||
28 | Does that include opposition to God? | Bible general | jeremiah1five | 241778 | ||
Hello Doc. Does our Christian obedience to human institutions also apply to laws and regulations made that contradict and oppose God's Word? |
||||||
29 | Could you please give some scriptural re | Bible general | jeremiah1five | 241779 | ||
True, I cannot yet give Scripture to support my understanding of "third heaven," except reason (Isa. 1:18). Neither is there one Scripture that can be given to support the Trinity, yet it is reasoned out. | ||||||
30 | Where do threatening voices come from ? | Bible general | jeremiah1five | 241780 | ||
God or Jesus doesn't threaten us with jail or prison per se, but He and they both do say that there are consequences to our every acts, whether good or evil. If evil, judgment is at the door. If good, judgment is at the door. If life and death are in the power of the tongue, so, too is life and death in the power of our acts, whether good and being rewarded, or evil and being rewarded, still. The Lord knows how to bless His kids. Man, too, knows how to bless his kids, whether snakes or bread. Yet sometimes good is rewarded as though evil, and evil rewarded as though good. Changing of times and seasons comes with every generation. Keep in mind that every law on the books of nations the world over are copies of the Law of God, whether not committing theft or murder, except the world doesn't want God a part of their society. A contradiction. | ||||||
31 | Could you please give some scriptural re | Bible general | jeremiah1five | 241784 | ||
Doc, I'm done here. This thread is restricted and I will not continue to exercise my gift and my gift be muzzled by you. Thank you. |
||||||
32 | Is It You, Doc? | Bible general | jeremiah1five | 241785 | ||
Doc, are you the one that has the button and is restricting my gift in several other thread/questions? | ||||||
33 | Does that include opposition to God? | Bible general | jeremiah1five | 241787 | ||
If that is the case, then don't you think you should revise your answer to tracylynnwoods1973? You didn't include to say that if laws are contrary to God we have a duty to obey God not man. | ||||||
34 | Is It You, Doc? | Bible general | jeremiah1five | 241790 | ||
Now, are you accusing me of not being obedient to the Lord within my call and gifting? Are you saying now that I am not exercising "self-control, kindness, respect, etc?" If you have been offended by me for some reason the command to reply is Matthew 18:15. You still have not answered my question. Are you the one responsible for restricting Christ in me and manipulating me and my comments, answers, and replies? I don't understand why there are some in the darkness doing these things to Christians? Are you part of that sect? |
||||||
35 | Is It You, Doc? | Bible general | jeremiah1five | 241796 | ||
Thanks, Doc. I do not want to talk about myself. I'm asking if you are the one that placed a restriction on my comments and muzzling the Holy Spirit in me? Is it you that has done thins thing? | ||||||
36 | Is It You, Doc? | Bible general | jeremiah1five | 241803 | ||
justme, I appreciate your commitment to the truth on this matter. I KNOW I had not been the only one. Now, I don't know if I am the target of "what happen to you," but I know that the ONLY moderator in a believers life is the Word of God and the Holy Spirit who applies the Word not only to the individual believers life, but is also sufficient for the Church-body as a whole. When Israel gathered before God at the Tabernacle there was no other "rules" or "guidelines" to which Israel was compelled or commanded to obey else they would be "dealt" with in accordance to those rules or guidelines. What Christians, and brethren that make sites where Christians gather don't realize is that all these sites are rife with "rules of conduct" and "guidelines" and such that dictate to the Christian how they are to act which supersedes the Word of God, and quite frankly, God Himself in the Person of the Holy Spirit, because if one were to "run afoul" of their rules, which may or may not be in compliance to the Word of God, their sin against Christ is compounded daily all across the NET and Christians are being taught to follow human-made rules in same fashion as the Sadducees and Pharisees who compelled the people to obey their interpretations of the Law of God without question, and whoever didn't was excommunicated from the synagogue/Temple the same was the blind man who Christ gave sight in John 9:34 was "cast out" (banned/excommunicated) from the congregation of believers for questioning or disagreeing with their "rule" over the people. This is what Peter was saying when warning those that had the oversight to not "lord it over the people." And if you think about the explosion of information that accompanied the beginning and continuation of the "Information Age," and computers and the Internet that that enables this "age" I am sure the words of Christ are even more understood that because of the "iniquity that abounds (on websites) that the love of many will grow cold." If one is to believe in Sola Scriptura I find it difficult that these would also allow the sola scriptura of written rules and guidelines that supersede the very Word of God, a Word that is TOTALLY SUFFICIENT for the Church today as it was for Israel in their day. There is something very wrong, sinfully wrong, when censorship and muzzling and control of other Christians under the anointing even, goes on daily and without accountability to the Scripture and to God. "justme," I would like for you to either call or write me that we may talk and I learn of your experiences. If Lockman is to be a GODly place where Christians can congregate to practice, share, and exercise their God-given gifts, then it is the Church as a people that is to make it happen, not moderators, or people in the dark shadows that treat Christians as though they are still in the world and under the control of the god of this world. We have a higher standard that God is given us in His Word. We are not only obligated, but commanded and instructed in how we are to behave in personal life as well as in corporate life when we gather together as a people. Sola Scriptura is either true and we practice it, or it is a lie and we allow others to dictate our behavior. |

37 | water to wine means drinking O.K.? | Gen 1:1 | jeremiah1five | 241496 | ||
No. One cannot base Jesus turning water into wine as permission to consume alcoholic drink. Because of modern-day distilling practices and abilities the drink that is made in today's distilleries is greatly enhanced and more potent than the wine that was made in and around the first century. It really did not have that much potency to make one drunk, and it can be reasoned that Peter's response in Acts that it was quite impossible to be drunk so early in the day as it would seemingly take more time in order to get drunk or intoxicated: Acts 2:15 (KJV) 15 For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day. The third hour of the day according to the Hebrew reckoning of time would be around 9AM. Paul does instruct Timothy to "drink a little wine for thy stomachs' sake" as the source of water to make the wine came from the local lake/seas (Galilee) which contained micro-organisms that assisted in digestive "healing" |

39 | Who are the unseen accusers and why to t | Gen 1:1 | jeremiah1five | 241687 | ||
These "spirits" are not angels. They are of your own mind. Welcome to the battle that takes place among every born again believer in the Church. Your flesh is contrary to the Holy Spirit in you: Galatians 5:19-21 (KJV) 19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. But don't fret about the last statement by Paul about not inheriting the "kingdom of God." If you are true born of God believer and the Holy Spirit dwells in you and you know His Presence, then be assured that He will NEVER leave you nor forsake you. Christ IS the kingdom of God. It is not a place or realm. But a Person (Matt. 12:28). Also know that your mind, my mind, every Christian's mind is enmity against God (Rom. 8:7). New believers walk on clouds, the Spirit is deep and wide and they walk around in a glowing light (somewhat like Moses did.) But as the believer learns from God the difference between holy and unholy, obedience and disobedience, soon the flesh, the world, and everything in between get the best of the saint and they lose the "edge" they sin and begin to get down on themselves about their failures before God and self-condemnation sets in. The Scripture is a Spirit-ual "thing" and your flesh doesn't want anything to do with it. You must persevere, and if true born of God you will! God always raises His kids. He is not an absentee Father, but is intimately involved in His children's lives and will take us all from glory to glory. Bear in mind that we all cannot in this body live on the mountain-top experience. We have to go down into the valley from time to time to be taught. But as you look back in life across the countless mountain-tops towards tyour past-horizon you may remember those valley's between the mountains but you will never see them. Again. Granted of course, that you are obedient to your Father and what He tries to teach you as you grow in Him. Your mind will contradict the Word. Don't listen. As much as is in you for the measure of faith you presently possess keep your eyes on God. Psst...God is found described in Scripture. Hear Him! :) not your mind. |

40 | Twins? | Gen 4:2 | jeremiah1five | 241589 | ||
What say you? Were Cain and Abel twins? Genesis 4:1-2 (KJV) 1 And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD. 2 And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground. (Isaiah 1:18) |
