221 | Should a divorced person remarry? | Matt 5:31 | GeorJoy | 93012 | ||
None interprited. There were no insinuations intended in my response. I simply felt that it rightly discribed what is the general state of mind today. I'm not speaking of the Christian in general. Simply the mind set of many who call themselves Christians and many who are sucked into believing that salvation is without repentance, giving them a "free to sin ticket," and thus the word is deluted to a state of stinch.

Under the circumstances......... And considering previous discussions...... Who knows and who is to say. It almost sounds erie though. I quit trying to figure such things a long time ago. There is no common sense approach to things any more. I sometimes think that my greatest mistakes are in having thought that I was mistaken. "JUST JOKING. I once heard "The Fonze" say that on Happy Days. George |

223 | Who wrote the King James Version? | Bible general Archive 2 | GeorJoy | 93009 | ||
2Ti 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 2Ti 3:17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works. King James sent out 47 scollars back in 1611 to compile the various original "scrolls." They compiled the KJV and translated it into "that days terminology," which was and is perfect English.

Thanks for what I will consider a compliment, for personally, I like onions. They come in various varietys. Some strong, some weak. They tend to add flavor to the stew, and often highlight the dish. Some can't stomach them. Others know just how to take them. Unlike Onions however, figs tend to churn up the stomach and often cause a digestive movement that tends to create a seriously bad smell. With a real rose comes thorns. When one is afraid of getting pricked and removes the thorns, he no longer has a rose bush, and it eventually dies. I see too many "thornless rose gardens." They tend to create the same stinch as does the final movement caused by the fig. Take care George |

Well thank you my friend. Do I read your note correct in saying that I was responding to you as "Chriatian." Perhaps I'm not as senile as I was beginning to think I mah have been. George |

charley, against my better judgement, I will address this topic once again. If you desire scripture, go back and review my notes on this topic. If a child of yours is, lets say, cheating on tests in school, and that child comes to you and asks your forgiveness, what are you going to do? You love that child dearly. You may insist that that child admits his dishonesty to his teacher, you may not. Either way you are going to forgive that child. Now, what happens when two months later you find out that that same child is "still" cheating on tests. What are you going to do? Does the fact a your child was forgiven the first time give that child a free ticket to continue in his or her dishonesty? IT IS CALLED REPENTANCE, PEOPLE! REPENTANCE. R E P E N T A N C E. . . . . Does no one responding to this topic wnderstand the meaning of that word? Or does everyone think that salvation means they have a "free to continue in sin" ticket? Does salvation change the fact that a sin is a sin? It washes the sinner, but they dirty themselves immediately again, and if there is no real repentance, where is salvation? Why did the originataor of this topic make his post in the first place. Can no one see the Holy Spirits conviction apon that person? Remove the motes from your eyes. And then, read your bibles. You will find that your ignorance has already been discribed in the NT. If I seem blunt, it is only due to the fact that I am sick of the "sugar coated" non scence that I am seeing and hearing concerning scripture. If I answer a question, I will quote scripture. If pressed, or if I feel the need, I will give my biblically based interpritation thereof. The more I am pressed, the more "scripturally blunt I will become. I have quoted scripture. Everyone seems to want to argue what I have quoted. Argue all you want folks. But, as I have said at least three times in in this topic alone, "if you want to argue scripture, take your arguments to the originator. I am only a messenger." Too many today just want to hear what it is they want to hear. Why do you think there are so many different denominations? Good Night dear bretheren, and God rest this topic. George |

229 | if i get a christain tattoo is it sin? | OT general | GeorJoy | 92788 | ||
Consider this: Leviticus is one of the 5 books of the Law. Are we, who have accepted our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, under the Law? No. Personally, I George, feel that it is between the individual and the Lord. Keep in mind however that a tatto is perminant, (or nearly, anyway.) I have one. It is about 3 inches long and 2 inches wide. It is a crucifix on my left forearm, standing behind double hearts, with my wifes name therein. Would I do it again? Perhaps. I don't want to look like a coloring book though. Will it send me to Hell? NO! I defy anyone to prove "Scripturally" otherwise. "Nothing is a sin of itself." "Anything done to the excess is sin." (KJV)Gal 2:16 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified. Gal 3:13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: Gal 3:14 That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. Gal 2:21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain. Gal 3:10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them. However, 1Co 6:17 But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit. 1Co 6:18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. 1Co 6:19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? Per Matthew Henry's concise concordance; Some among the Corinthians seem to have been ready to say, All things are lawful for me. This dangerous conceit St. Paul opposes. There is a liberty wherewith Christ has made us free, in which we must stand fast. But surely a Christian would never put himself into the power of any bodily appetite. The body is for the Lord; is to be an instrument of righteousness to holiness, therefore is never to be made an instrument of sin. It is an honour to the body, that Jesus Christ was raised from the dead; and it will be an honour to our bodies, that they will be raised. The hope of a resurrection to glory, should keep Christians from dishonouring their bodies by fleshly lusts. And if the soul be united to Christ by faith, the whole man is become a member of his spiritual body. Other vices may be conquered in fight; that here cautioned against, only by flight. And vast multitudes are cut off by this vice in its various forms and consequences. Its effects fall not only directly upon the body, but often upon the mind. Our bodies have been redeemed from deserved condemnation and hopeless slavery by the atoning sacrifice of Christ. We are to be clean, as vessels fitted for our Master's use. Being united to Christ as one spirit, and bought with a price of unspeakable value, the believer should consider himself as wholly the Lord's, by the strongest ties. May we make it our business, to the latest day and hour of our lives, to glorify God with our bodies, and with our spirits which are his. George |

Chriatian, my post dated 8/11 at 8:59pm was actually intended to address your note. For some strange reason, I thought "justme" had written that note. My appologies to "justme." Please Chriatian, replace justme's name therein with Chriatian. I'd like to ask out of curiosity. Is there a significance in (what appears to be a) typeO in your screen name? George |

Justme, when have I iniated a dispute between the two of us? I should think you would consider not taking what I have quoted and paraphrased from the word as a personal attack. Please reread all corespondence between yourself and me, with open eyes. You may learn something about someone very close. Kindness, I have for all. Where the Word is concerned, I can not help if someone considers it unkind. Respect, I have for "no one" who sugar cotes and changes the meaning of the word" out of what they consider "kindness" to others. I would suggest that anyone who has taken the time to read, knows at least some of the word. If they can't spread the Word without deluting and sugar coating it, it would be wise of them to keep their mouth shut, for that very Word speaks of their wages. Take care George |

I will not argue the point my friend. If you are so offended by the scripture I quote from the word, and insist on "twisting" it, and "nit picking" my typo's as well, then so be it. You opted in to this conversation where I was concerned, I would suggest you opt out of my further conversations if you are so offended by the truth. If you don't want to hear it, don't ask. If you want to live by OT law, rather than accepting Christ's covenant, I would suggest you live it, for by it you will also be condemned. I make NO APPOLOGIES, for what you consider rude. It is the word of God and it IS THE TRUTH. And all who twist it are ANTICHRIST'S. I make no (it is spelled,) "INSINUATIONS." I would state though, that "he who yells the loudest is the one who is hurt most. Please, Justme. Read the word! Study the word. It's there. If only we will open our eyes and see it. Justme, it is apparent you can't or don't want to understand the "specifics" I did quote. I'm truly sorry you can't do a little research on your own and find some "specifics" which haven't been tanted with such as is apparent by so many of your reprisals where my posts are concerned. IF YOU COULD UNDERSTAND WHAT I HAVE QUOTED, THEN SURELY YOU WOULD HAVE UNDERSTOOD WHAT YOU READ, for whether you, I OR ANYONE ELSE like it or not, the answer is therein. I understand you, (and more and more, what appears to be your goal,) my friend. I could care less whether you understand me or not. As I have said, "if you have complaints concerning the scripture I have quoted, don't blame the messenger. Take it up with the Originator." I will respond to you my friend, no more on this topic. May God Bless, protect, watch over, and be with you and yours, and may He open yours, (and my) eyes as well, to the TRUTH CONTAINED IN THE WHOLE OF HIS "UNCLUTTERED, UNFOGGED, AND UNDEMENTED LIVING WORD.

234 | Only Gospels as Authority? | 2 Tim 3:16 | GeorJoy | 92624 | ||
2Ti 3:16 All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; When they don't like what it says, men and women as well tend try to take down the author, human or otherwise. By doing so, they only prove what has been written. George |

235 | Were human authors aware of inspiration? | 2 Tim 3:16 | GeorJoy | 92622 | ||
They knew they were in the Spirit. 2Ti 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: Would Paul have written the above if your answer were not as is stated below? Your answer is Yes. George |

236 | Bible references to child molestation?? | Matt 18:6 | GeorJoy | 92619 | ||
You will find nothing in the bible specifically naming many of lifes sins. However, there are many answers to your question in the word. (KJV) Mat 18:6 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea. Mat 22:39 ... Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. If you follow Mat 22:39 you will harm no one, least of all, a defensive child. George |

237 | Should a divorced person remarry? | Matt 5:31 | GeorJoy | 92617 | ||
Justme, I am not the originator. Only a messenger. If you don't like what I have stated, take it up with the originator. Bottom line; A Christian who is walking in the spirit will not (intentionally) commit adultry, and continue to live therein. If he does, he IS NOT walking in the spirit, for the spirit does not lead contrary to the word. If he thinks he is, he is only fooling himself. He is NOT living in Gods favor. I have only quoted the word, and my determination based thereon. Gods word is not always flowers and roses, as some would have it. The word in it's simplist form, a babe could understand. When our minds are clouded by lifes excuses and desires, the word often becomes incomprehensiable. Even Jesus stated that there would be those who would have a hard time accepting what He had stated on this topic. It's either in Matthew or Mark, possiably in the other two Gosples as well. See for yourself what he said. God's word never changes. No matter what the circumstance. George |

238 | Who are these removed branches? | John 15:6 | GeorJoy | 92551 | ||
Christ is the body. We are the branches. Per Matthew Henry's Concise commentary Joh 15:1-8 - Jesus Christ is the Vine, the true Vine. The union of the human and Divine natures, and the fulness of the Spirit that is in him, resemble the root of the vine made fruitful by the moisture from a rich soil. Believers are branches of this Vine. The root is unseen, and our life is hid with Christ; the root bears the tree, diffuses sap to it, and in Christ are all supports and supplies. The branches of the vine are many, yet, meeting in the root, are all but one vine; thus all true Christians, though in place and opinion distant from each other, meet in Christ. Believers, like the branches of the vine, are weak, and unable to stand but as they are borne up. The Father is the Husbandman. Never was any husbandman so wise, so watchful, about his vineyard, as God is about his church, which therefore must prosper. We must be fruitful. From a vine we look for grapes, and from a Christian we look for a Christian temper, disposition, and life. We must honour God, and do good; this is bearing fruit. The unfruitful are taken away. And even fruitful branches need pruning; for the best have notions, passions, and humours, that require to be taken away, which Christ has promised to forward the sanctification of believers, they will be thankful, for them. The word of Christ is spoken to all believers; and there is a cleansing virtue in that word, as it works grace, and works out corruption. And the more fruit we bring forth, the more we abound in what is good, the more our Lord is glorified. In order to fruitfulness, we must abide in Christ, must have union with him by faith. It is the great concern of all Christ's disciples, constantly to keep up dependence upon Christ, and communion with him. True Christians find by experience, that any interruption in the exercise of their faith, causes holy affections to decline, their corruptions to revive, and their comforts to droop. Those who abide not in Christ, though they may flourish for awhile in outward profession, yet come to nothing. The fire is the fittest place for withered branches; they are good for nothing else. Let us seek to live more simply on the fulness of Christ, and to grow more fruitful in every good word and work, so may our joy in Him and in his salvation be full. George |

239 | what God says about divorse/remarriage | Matt 5:31 | GeorJoy | 92550 | ||
"if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases:" "if the unbelieving depart" AMAZING! I have read that many times, yet this is the first I have actually seen it. George |
||||||
240 | what God says about divorse/remarriage | Matt 5:31 | GeorJoy | 92549 | ||
*(Mat 5:31) It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement: *(Mat 5:32) But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery. Per Matthew Henry's Concise commentary 1Co 7:1-9 - The apostle tells the Corinthians that it was good, in that juncture of time, for Christians to keep themselves single. Yet he says that marriage, and the comforts of that state, are settled by Divine wisdom. Though none may break the law of God, yet that perfect rule leaves men at liberty to serve him in the way most suited to their powers and circumstances, of which others often are very unfit judges. All must determine for themselves, seeking counsel from God how they ought to act. God Bless George |
