21 | cult by what definition? | Bible general Archive 1 | teragram123 | 57187 | ||
EdB please answer... I noticed by your profile that you enjoy apologetics/ and the study of the cults... Can you please tell me why there are so few writers that will name the Catholic church as a cult. Yet in the study of cults myself, I find that the definition given for cults fully fit the Catholic church. If she is not a cult, please explain to me how she is Christian. And which definition for cults does not fit her? I was raised in the Catholic church and read my way out... and it amazes me that so few Christians will address the real issues. I never missed catechism class or mass in 33 years... yet never once was I led in the sinners prayer or even told that I was a sinner needing to be saved. The word “saved” was what I thought to be a protestant term. If she is Christian, why was I lost right in the midst of her? I was as devout as I believe I could have been. |

22 | cult by what definition? | Bible general Archive 1 | teragram123 | 57298 | ||
I have read all of the postings to my simple question... why don’t Christian writers name the Catholic church as a cult since my own studies show it to fit the definition given for cults. Are any that are answering and commenting raised in the Catholic Church? It is far easier to study about a religion and speak about it. It is entirely different thing to be raised in it and know what they actually teach. All cults have a store front of beliefs they want to be seen... than there are those beliefs that children are taught and expected to live out. My own daughter, after I wrote a note to the nuns to keep her out of the first communion class, was told to attend against my wishes. She was at the end of the school year and had only a few weeks to complete before we would put her into private CHRISTIAN school. She was sent home with a scapular around her neck and told to never remove it and she would never have to fear the pains of hell. I ripped it from her neck the moment she showed it to me. She panicked saying now I will go to hell. I led her into the sinners prayer again... this time she wanted Christ for sure. That was in 1976... today she is a very strong Christian... has never wavered nor watered down the truth of the Catholic Church. There are semantics used in all cults... say the right words but they have their own meanings. Many on the forum have excused the CC as not being in total agreement with Rome. Hello? You know not what you are saying. As far a saying Mariology has gotten out of hand and this ... they do much of it in violation of decrees from Rome. This is not true... the present pope is re-stressing the rosary as never before. I must cry aloud in praise to God Almighty that HE saved me from it. Had I come first to this forum, I may have been talked out of the Born Again experience. I read the Bible laying on my face before God for two full years, was born again and than laid before HIM for another 3 years seeking truth no matter the pain of being ostracized by my mother and father... leaving all my Catholic friends shaking their heads at me saying I was a heretic... and would suffer the pains of hell for ever leaving “Mother Church”. Had I merely found this forum first, just think all this “divine wisdom” could have spared me all those hours of tears and searching. My prayer is that God in His wisdom will keep the babes from finding this forum until they KNOW their God and can discern the truth from the error. I thank God also that Martin Luther did not have this wisdom of the forum!!!!!! Isn’t it amazing that when the believer had only the KJV, they had to rely solely upon revelation from the Holy Spirit... not man’s helps of the newer easier versions that so many say they like better, because they just can’t get understanding from the KJV. Maybe another question need be addressed... have all that claim to know truth experience the New Birth? God is not a author of confusion... so who may I ask is the teacher of so much diverse truth? Galatians 1:16 To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood: 2 Cor. 4:3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: |

Can't seem to find any referance to any message recieved via a dream... but did so by the reading of the records...Esther 6:1-3 On that night could not the king sleep, and he commanded to bring the book of records of the chronicles; and they were read before the king. [2] And it was found written, that Mordecai had told of Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king's chamberlains, the keepers of the door, who sought to lay hand on the king Ahasuerus. [3] And the king said, What honour and dignity hath been done to Mordecai for this? Then said the king's servants that ministered unto him, There is nothing done for him. |

You could make this very hour the point of total commitment to Christ... a moment to point to when the enemy causes you to doubt... the day and the hour does not matter... but the fact that you made the commitment. Journal your commitment for your own benefit... the Lord knows the time in the past and has it recorded in HIS records. But I find my journal has become a very strong weapon during battles. Rev. 12:11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. |

you said it so well a "gateway drug" breaking down the barriers to even harder drugs. When the heart hardens in one area.. it allows new things to enter ones life. The old saying - what one generation does in moderation, the next will do in excess. What our past generations did by accepting the milder drug nicotine, has now come home to roost!

29 | question to smoke pot or not | Gen 1:12 | teragram123 | 54838 | ||
Not if Jesus is LORD. The only mind altering He says to do is 2 Cor. 4:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. 2 Tim. 3:8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith. Asking if I can reveals a heart that is not submitted to the perfect will of God. My desires are still in control. |

It was fulfilled in Adam, and gave him 120 more years to live before being cut off.

32 | Christ did not do away with the tithe | Gen 14:20 | teragram123 | 59588 | ||
Genesis 14:18-20 And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God. [19] And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth: [20] And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all. Leviticus 27:30 And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land, or of the fruit of the tree, is the Lord's: it is holy unto the Lord. Leviticus 27:32 And concerning the tithe of the herd, or of the flock, even of whatsoever passeth under the rod, the tenth shall be holy unto the Lord. It is interesting to note that those that do not want to give a tithe will claim they are not under the law but Grace. Yet this action of Abraham to Melchizedek was about 400 years before the law came into being. Christ was after the order of Melchizedek and not after that of Aaron. which symbolizes the law. Hebrews 7:1-10 This Melchizedek was king of Salem and priest of God Most High. He met Abraham returning from the defeat of the kings and blessed him, [2] and Abraham gave him a tenth of everything. First, his name means "king of righteousness"; then also, "king of Salem" means "king of peace." [3] Without father or mother, without genealogy, without beginning of days or end of life, like the Son of God he remains a priest forever. [4] Just think how great he was: Even the patriarch Abraham gave him a tenth of the plunder! [5] Now the law requires the descendants of Levi who become priests to collect a tenth from the people--that is, their brothers--even though their brothers are descended from Abraham. [6] This man, however, did not trace his descent from Levi, yet he collected a tenth from Abraham and blessed him who had the promises. [7] And without doubt the lesser person is blessed by the greater. [8] In the one case, the tenth is collected by men who die; but in the other case, by him who is declared to be living. [9] One might even say that Levi, who collects the tenth, paid the tenth through Abraham, [10] because when Melchizedek met Abraham, Levi was still in the body of his ancestor. Psalm 110:4 The Lord hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek. Hebrews 5:6 And he says in another place, "You are a priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek." Christ did not do away with the tithe which means a tenth. Luke 11:42 "Woe to you Pharisees, because you give God a tenth of your mint, rue and all other kinds of garden herbs, but you neglect justice and the love of God. You should have practiced the latter “ without leaving the former undone” |

34 | Why did David handle Saul's sin wrong? | 2 Sam 21:7 | teragram123 | 58106 | ||
I believe this is a prophetic statement pointing to the salvation of Christ... the day of the Lord when each will stand for his own sins done in the body Col. 3:25 But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons. God is a Covenant God... keeping Covenant even when man forsakes and forgets the words he has vowed... even unto the generations that come after... Saul broke a vow made to the Gibeonites... they tricked the Israelites into making the covenant using deceit. God still held them accountable to the words of the their mouth. This speaks very clearly to the false notion we have heard today about the ease of laying aside our vows that we made foolishly. Eccles. 5:1-7 Keep thy foot when thou goest to the house of God, and be more ready to hear, than to give the sacrifice of fools: for they consider not that they do evil. [2] Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be hasty to utter any thing before God: for God is in heaven, and thou upon earth: therefore let thy words be few. [3] For a dream cometh through the multitude of business; and a fool's voice is known by multitude of words. [4] When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay it; for he hath no pleasure in fools: pay that which thou hast vowed. [5] Better is it that thou shouldest not vow, than that thou shouldest vow and not pay. [6] Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin; neither say thou before the angel, that it was an error: wherefore should God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thine hands? [7] For in the multitude of dreams and many words there are also divers vanities: but fear thou God. When we enter a Covenant with God... he is our defense... fights our battles for us. The Gibeanites were in Covenant with God’s people... but they failed to protect them under Saul’s reign. God therefore avenged their blood with the blood of Saul’s sons. Note though that the son’s of Jonathan were under a greater Covenant of protection... they were not killed. 2 Samuel 21:7 But the king spared Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan the son of Saul, because of the Lord's oath that was between them, between David and Jonathan the son of Saul. Rizpah however did not have a covenant... and could only plead the mercies of David. How clear of a warning that we may receive mercy but the Covenant holds more sure promises. Do we want the decent burial when we die or do we want a covenant promise of salvation? |

36 | Is "Revival" A Biblical Concept? | Ps 85:6 | teragram123 | 56017 | ||
Psalm 85:6 Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in thee? Psalm 138:7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me. Isaiah 57:15 For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones. Hosea 6:2 After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight. Hosea 14:7 They that dwell under his shadow shall return; they shall revive as the corn, and grow as the vine: the scent thereof shall be as the wine of Lebanon. Habakkuk 3:2 O Lord, I have heard thy speech, and was afraid: O Lord, revive thy work in the midst of the years, in the midst of the years make known; in wrath remember mercy. VERY BIBLE |

40 | What is the meaning of "line upon line" | Is 28:10 | teragram123 | 55565 | ||
1 Cor. 3:11-15 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. [12] Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; [13] Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. [14] If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. [15] If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire. Luke 6:48-49 He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock. [49] But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that without a foundation built an house upon the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great. In the beginning God... all truths rest upon this bedrock... Christ is that Rock one truth (line) must rest upon a truth previous to it... Psalm 11:3 If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do? 1 Cor. 10:4 And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ. Christ knew that if they would not receive Moses words... He had nothing to build on in their faith.... John 5:45-47 Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye trust. [46] For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me. [47] But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words? this is the very reason cults are so difficult to witness to.. they define words differently than the Christian and you can’t build upon their “truth” |
