Hi ibroyles, The jehovah's witnesses teach Jesus was Michael the archangel. The jehovah's witnesses is one of the most vial and corrupt cults known to mankind. Stay away from them and reject them completely! Steve |

If your asking and/or inferring if the priest and the Levite were so spiritually minded they were no earthly good the answer is a resounding NO! Neither showed any hint of being spiritually minded. Steve |

224 | More harm then good? | Eph 4:16 | humbledbyhisgrace | 203149 | ||
Azure, In regards to the relationship / functional sense I would say the Spiritual gifts should be performed so to speak through the use of the fruit of the Spirit. I guess simply put it would seem to me the fruit of the Spirit complements / makes effective the spiritual gift. Steve |

225 | More harm then good? | Eph 4:16 | humbledbyhisgrace | 203145 | ||
Brother, I agree of the importance of each member finding their appointed place and serving in the body of Christ! But as we both have agreed, we don't know of scripture that specifically points the way in determining ones gifts. Or if there is I still have not found it. Considering that, I find it hard to imagine a new convert able to find his/her way in the matter :-) However, moving on I think it's an interesting question you ask regarding "natural" and "spiritual" gifts. Considering the spiritual gifts are given to members of the body of Christ and it is for the edification of the body I'm not sure how the "natural" gift could be the same. Does God give spiritual gifts to those who are not members of the body? It's a good question! Hopefully others will jump in!!! Steve |

226 | More harm then good? | Eph 4:16 | humbledbyhisgrace | 203125 | ||
Hey Brother, Sorry for the delay. I had to go out of town after work today and just recently got back in. Anyway, I agree with the scripture you pointed to. It was these and also Ephesians 4:16 that I was thinking of. I really wanted to see the scriptures used to point this out because there seems to be so many who do not understand this. And based on these scriptures I would also agree with most of what you have said. I don't know if "knowing our spiritual gifts" quite fits into Christianity 101 though. If it were this basic then I doubt there would be so much confusion and I doubt there would be so many Christians without a clue as to what their spiritual gift(s) were. I personally have seen many writings by mankind on how to identify your spiritual gift. But to my knowledge I don't recall any of them ever pointing to scripture to validate their claims :-( I have to confess, I have wondered about this myself. And have even developed an opinion :-) but I no longer accept my opinions or that of others if it cannot be validated by scripture. That's not to say I count it as nothing. But rather find it better not to hang my hat on it :-) Which leads me to the next question. Can you think of any place in scripture that would give an understanding of how one is to determine their spiritual gift? Steve |

Greetings Brother and thanks for the response! What is your biblical understanding / position on this? (i.e. my original question - last post). And if I may be so bold as to ask, what was your biblical position to "object" to the pastor being called in the church that was "elder ruled"? Steve |

228 | More harm then good? | Eph 4:16 | humbledbyhisgrace | 203098 | ||
Do we (mankind) do more harm then good when we take upon ourselves and/or allow someone to serve in capacities within the church that they have not been gifted for? Some say, God will bless it because someone has stepped up to do that which no one else would do. Is this in fact true? Or do we do more harm then good? Steve |

Greetings DB, Take a look at Hebrews 10:23-25. Also, read through Ephesians chapter 4 and see if this doesn't also give us a better understanding of the need. Hope this helps! Steve |

231 | total prosperity | Rom 10:9 | humbledbyhisgrace | 202879 | ||
lalah, It gets no better then this! Romans 10:9-10 (NASB) 9 that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; 10 for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation. John 1:12-13 (NASB) 12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name, 13 who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God. What else could anyone ask for? Steve |

232 | God love the senner but hate the sin | NT general | humbledbyhisgrace | 202774 | ||
Thank you for your kind words John! I know you know me well enough to know my heart on the matter. I'm always dumbfounded how one is offended by God's word. Isn't it interesting it's always the ones who never point to it that are offended by it? Of course it may be I need to do better in expressing myself also so as not to offend. It is not my intent but I will admit, there is so much false teaching in the world today it disgust me. Especially that which is subtle and comes covered in sugar! Steve |

GC, My concern was for you and for all those who would read your post. It is not meant to offend you. But rather point you to scripture! I was not addressing the homosexual issue. That has already been addressed. Scripture is clear on this also. GC, be honest with yourself, look at your post again and tell us what scripture will confirm what you are teaching? So far all we have is your opinion which does not line up with scripture. Can you see the danger in this? My "agenda" was to point you to the truth (John 17:17). I have no ability to convince anyone but I know the word of God does (Hebrews 4:12, Isaiah 55:11, Romans 10:17). Galatians 4:16 (NASB) "So have I become your enemy by telling you the truth?" Steve |

You have the free will teachings of mankind not of scripture. This is why I pointed you to scripture to help you understand what God has to say on the matter not the free will thinkers of mankind's point of view. If there is any validity to your argument, then you should be able to provide scripture proof of such. The fact is, we both need to be right! It's not about me being right and you being wrong or you being right and me being wrong. It's important that you and I both are right and to be so we have to conform to the word of God not our own opinions. Our opinions MUST conform to the word of God or they are pointless and useless and only lead others into a false understanding of God and what His word teaches. You say "And I'm pretty confident that God has not forced you to obey Him... which ultimately means His authority to rule over you is limited by your own free will." Here is your fallacy in the doctrine you teach and believe. If the statement above were true as you teach and believe, then you contradict your own teaching by saying " God has given each of us the right to choose whether we want to obey Him or not, which naturally places a limitation on His authority to rule." Do you see how you defeat your own argument on the matter? If it is God who gives us the "right" as you say to choose, then where does that place your free will? If God has any limitation as you teach, then God Himself must be the one who places the limitation on Himself and it is not your "free will" that limits Him. Understand? So as the scriptures teach, your "free will" is not as free as you and others would have us believe. The scriptures teach us we are slaves to sin as I have pointed out to you already. Therefore, your "free will" is not free to do anything but choose sin. This is what the natural man has chosen and is enslaved to. Note again what it says in Roman 8:7 (NASB) "because the mind set on the flesh is hostile toward God; for it does not subject itself to the law of God, for it is not even able to do so" NOT EVEN ABLE TO DO SO! What free will is there then? And again, what does it say in Matthew 11:27 (NASB) ""All things have been handed over to Me by My Father; and no one knows the Son except the Father; nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and anyone to whom the Son wills to reveal Him." nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and anyone to whom the Son wills to reveal Him! So, where does this leave your free will? You say "I understand God's RIGHT to rule, but that doesn't mean He will use coercion or manipulation or threats of violence to enforce that right." I would encourage you to read through the old testament! Again, His word is much different then what you teach! Steve |

Please give us scripture proof of these "built-in limits" to God's authority. This statement contradicts the scriptures! (1 Chronicles 29:11, Daniel 4:35, Psalms 115:3, Psalms 22:28, Romans 9:15, John 3:27, Ephesians 1:3-5, etc... etc...) Also, consider the scriptures in the matter of our choice to reject Him as you say. We were blinded to the truth, slaves to sin! It was our nature! (1 Corinthians 2:14, Romans 6:16, Ephesians 2:1-3) It was not and is not within mankind's ability to come to God on his own. If God, the one you set your limitations on did not intercede, you nor I nor any man or woman would ever receive Him (Matthew 11:27, Romans 8:5-8) Also, you say " Therefore, we must stop labeling people as "sinners."" The scriptures label us as sinners. God Himself has said we are sinners! Romans 3:23 Please provide scripture to all these things you are teaching! Steve |

236 | hi | John 14:6 | humbledbyhisgrace | 202660 | ||
raz, I failed to complete my last. What I intended to finish with is this. If you seek to hear from the God of heaven and earth, the One and only true God in which He Himself has revealed to mankind this truth. Acts 4:10-12 (NASB95) 4:10 let it be known to all of you and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead—by this name this man stands here before you in good health. 4:11 "He is the STONE WHICH WAS REJECTED by you, THE BUILDERS, but WHICH BECAME THE CHIEF CORNER stone. 4:12 "And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved." Then ask what you will and many will help point you to what God's word says. For it is His word that is truth (John 17:17). Steve |

237 | hi | John 14:6 | humbledbyhisgrace | 202657 | ||
It is important that you know the word of God says that all of us are sinners (Romans 3:23). No one is able to overcome their sins on their own. There is but one who has paid for our sins (Romans 6:23, Acts 4:12). It is by His grace through faith in Christ Jesus, not of our works nor anything we can do to earn it (Ephesians 2:4-10). What you must do is believe ONLY in the Lord Jesus Christ as your Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead and you will be saved (Romans 10:9). For He says as many as receive Him, to them He gives the right to become children of God (John 1:12). No one comes to God the Father but through Christ Jesus (John 14:6)! No one! There is no other way! We do not discuss the quran here. This forum is only for discussing the word of God! If you seek to hear from the God of heaven and earth, the one and only true God in whom He Himself has said Steve H. |

Merlita, Read 2 Kings chapter 5 and tell us why Naaman was not able to solve his problem. I would be interested in hearing what else you learn from this passage of scripture. Steve |

239 | why jesus had not allowed mary to touch | John 20:17 | humbledbyhisgrace | 202612 | ||
call2faith, NO! Absolutely NOT! We must never say the Lord God is unclean! For it is impossible that the Holy Righteous One of God can be! (1 John 1:5, 2 Corinthians 5:21, Hebrews 4:15, Hebrews 7:26, 1 Peter 1:19, 1 Peter 2:22, 1 Peter 3:18, 1 John 2:1, 1 John 3:5, Acts 3:14, Acts 4:30, Acts 7:52, Acts 13:35) Think this through and study out the scriptures. You need to understand what the word of God says about our Lord Jesus Christ. Be on guard of your thoughts that have no biblical truth to back them up. There is but one who would have you think so little of the Lord Jesus! Steve |

240 | Seven Churches in Asia | Acts 17:31 | humbledbyhisgrace | 202609 | ||
call2faith, God has sent the message long ago! And not only the message, but the greatest and clearest sign mankind could ever be shown. Acts 17:30-31 (NASB) 17:30 "Therefore having overlooked the times of ignorance, God is now declaring to men that all people everywhere should repent, 17:31 because He has fixed a day in which He will judge the world in righteousness through a Man whom He has appointed, having furnished proof to all men by raising Him from the dead." 1 Corinthians 15:1-8 (NASB) 15:1 Now I make known to you, brethren, the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received, in which also you stand, 15:2 by which also you are saved, if you hold fast the word which I preached to you, unless you believed in vain. 15:3 For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 15:4 and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, 15:5 and that He appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. 15:6 After that He appeared to more than five hundred brethren at one time, most of whom remain until now, but some have fallen asleep; 15:7 then He appeared to James, then to all the apostles; 15:8 and last of all, as to one untimely born, He appeared to me also.
