241 | Do homosexual tendencys constitute sin? | Lev 20:13 | humbledbyhisgrace | 185091 | ||
Greetings Hobbs! James 1:14-15 (NASB) 1:14 But each one is tempted when he is carried away and enticed by his own lust. 1:15 Then when lust has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and when sin is accomplished, it brings forth death. The temptation is not sin but it does reveal the sinful nature in my opinion. The lust spoken of in James 1:14 begins within the person. There is ownership here that points to the source of the temptation being the person. Our own lust entices us. We tempt ourselves with our own evil desires. So when our own lust has conceived it is then we move from the temptation to sin. The big question is at what point does this take place? I'm not so sure I know how to answer that one correctly but I'm going to put my thoughts on it out there. It's one of those areas I'm not so sure I can put my finger on so to speak but would be interested in hearing your thoughts or others thoughts on the question. So, considering this passage of scripture and the question "Do homosexual tendencies constitute sin?" I would think that if one can be tempted by homosexual tendency then his sinful nature harbors lust for such a thing. As I understand it, I would also think that the lust is conceived and gives birth to the sin long before the homosexual act occurs. Your thoughts? God bless, Steve |

Greetings BrotherLouie! For sure the act was sin! But according to scripture it would appear he fell into sin long before the actual act. Matthew 5:28 (NASB) but I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart. Had there been no lust for her would there have ever been the physical act? By Faith, Steve |

Nick, Brother, he is already isolated! It is essential that he be made aware of his sin! If one is blinded to their sin, how is it possible to have a repentant heart? What need would one find for forgiveness if they are not aware of the sin in their life and the desperate situation they are in? He needs to be aware of his sin and be made aware that God not only exercises lovingkindness and righteousness, but also JUSTICE! And he delight’s in these things (Jeremiah 9:24)! It is a watered down gospel we teach if we fail to point out the sinfulness of man. It serves to dilute His grace and glory. It is written, the Spirit of God comes as a helper (John 16:7) to convict the world of sin and righteousness and judgment (John 16:8)! If he comes to convict the world of sin, why would we His people shy away from pointing this out to those who are in danger of the wrath of God? Certainly this does not honor God. Steve |

Nick, Bible thumping? Wow! Have you read the bible? Throughout, God has pointed out the sinfulness of man. You are aware the Scriptures are inspired by God Himself right (2 Timothy 3:16)? You have given much opinion in this post and your post to Deputy but nothing of scripture to offer. Sorry, but it sounds more like a Joel Osteen sermon then anything from the word of God and very bad advise to one trying to lead one to Christ! I noted your dislike of theology in your profile. Interesting seeing how your theology of universalism is the very thing that causes you to fail to place any importance on sin. After all, what need does one have to worry about sin and God's justice if everyone is going to be saved right? Let's just call it "Bible thumping"! Geez! |

strts5, In all things, regardless of what it is the fist place you should go is before God and seek His guidance! Read Ephesians 2:1-12 and then ask yourself the same question, "will He help me?" Here is a link to a Christian financial ministry web site http://www.crown.org/ I recommend you spend some time in prayer and also look over this web site. Use the tools this ministry provides and most importantly, keep it before God in prayer seeking His guidance. Put your trust in Him! God Bless, Steve |

247 | Is it wrong to consult fortune tellers? | Deut 18:10 | humbledbyhisgrace | 178613 | ||
Greetings Sister! Please, please, please think about this. You almost never point to scripture in your post. Some may be familiar enough with scripture to know what you refer to. Many who read along may not. It will also help cut down on confusion. As is, it comes across as your opinion with no scripture reference to back it up. If your intent is to teach the word of God, present it as such so the unlearned can be edified through God’s word. I pray you see my point and take this as it is intended! Your Brother in Christ, Steve |

248 | Is it wrong to consult fortune tellers? | Deut 18:10 | humbledbyhisgrace | 178638 | ||
Greetings Sister! I did read your post. That's what prompted the request! Keep in mind, they are still there for all to see and they will remain for a long time. If you watch this forum long enough you will see someone respond to a post that was actually posted years ago. Just goes to show you never know who or when someone may actually read a post and if His word is taught accurately then the opportunity to teach and share with others goes far beyond the person you are talking with at that time. I do understand the zeal to share the word of our Lord God with others. I thank Him I too have this hunger for His word and to share it with others. My prayer is that we all handle it properly so that it may bring glory to the Lord God and that we all may grow in knowledge of His truth! Amen? God Bless, Steve |

Greetings once again Sister! Okay, we are moving on. I just hope you did not or do not misunderstand me. I would like to address something found in your post if I may. You say in your post "But I would appreciate if you read my other responses and you will get a better understanding. In all your getting get an understanding. In James 1:5 it says those that lack wisdom let them ask of God he will give it freely. I haven't had anyone else misunderstand me and if there is something that I wrote that wasn't understandable I am available to give a more inept discussion until there is an understanding." I noticed in some of your other post you use this same teaching regarding this scripture. Let me ask you this, is James 1:5 teaching one to ask God for wisdom that we may understand others or does this teach us to ask God for wisdom that we may understand Him and His ways? Is it not that we are to ask for wisdom that we may understand and know what it is He is teaching us through the trials we face? Consider the context of the verse. James 1:1-5 (KJV) 1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting. 2 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; 3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. 4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. 5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. As you have taught it, is it accurate? If you believe so, will you explain please? Thank you and God Bless, Steve |

250 | When were marriages first documented ? | Deut 24:1 | humbledbyhisgrace | 207139 | ||
Greetings fellowlaborer, I love the user name! (Luke 10:2)! I don’t have anything to offer in the way of information regarding the paper work your looking for at this time but I would like to offer this. Perhaps your approach should be to point them to the fact marriage is not based on paper work but rather it is an institution ordained by God! Genesis 2:24 (NASB) “For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother, and be joined to his wife; and they shall become one flesh.“ An interesting fact is there was not mention of divorce or paper work etc… until after the fall of man. God’s institution of marriage was to last a life time! Hope this helps! God bless, Steve |

251 | Saying "AMEN"...outloud? | Deut 27:20 | humbledbyhisgrace | 187652 | ||
Greetings mouse! It is biblical brother/sister (?) And I don't doubt your motivation when saying it is right on target! Amen away and may those around you see the joy God has put in your heart! Here is a little more info that may help with your question. Hope this helps! AMEN Transliteration of Hebrew word signifying something as certain, sure and valid, truthful and faithful. It is sometimes translated “so be it.” In the OT it is used to show the acceptance of the validity of a curse or an oath (Num. 5:22; Deut. 27:15-26; Jer. 11:5), to indicate acceptance of a good message (Jer. 28:6), and to join in a doxology in a worship setting to affirm what has been said or prayed (1 Chron. 16:36; Neh. 8:6; Ps. 106:48). “Amen” may confirm what already is, or it may indicate a hope for something desired. In Jewish prayer “amen” comes at the end as an affirmative response to a statement or wish made by others, and is so used in the NT epistles (Rom. 1:25; 11:36; 15:33; 1 Cor. 16:24; Gal. 1:5; Eph. 3:21; Phil. 4:20). Paul ended some of his letters with “amen” (Rom. 6:27; Gal.:18). Ancient authorities add “amen” in other letters, but translations reflect this only in their notes. In the Gospels Jesus used “amen” to affirm the truth of His own statements. English translations often use “verily,” “truly,” “I tell you the truth” to translate Jesus’ “amen.” He never said it at the end of a statement but always at the beginning: “Amen, I say to you” (Matt. 5:18; 16:28; Mark 8:12; 11:23; Luke 4:24; 21:32; John 1:51; 5:19). In John’s Gospel Jesus said “Amen, amen.” That Jesus prefaced His own words with “amen” is especially important, for He affirmed that the kingdom of God is bound up with His own person and emphasized the authority of what He said. Jesus is called “the Amen” in Rev. 3:14, meaning that He Himself is the reliable and true witness of God. Perhaps the writer had in mind Isa. 65:16 where the Hebrew says “God of Amen.” -Roger L. Omanson —Holman Illustrated Bible Dictionary God bless, Steve |

252 | Lying justified? | Josh 2:5 | humbledbyhisgrace | 208753 | ||
JRM, You will find no where in the bible that teaches it is morally acceptable to lie. It's the corrupt nature that would agree with that which is in contradiction to God's law (1 Corinthians 2:14, Romans 8:7). Steve |

253 | Lying justified? | Josh 2:5 | humbledbyhisgrace | 225020 | ||
No I do not believe that it is. I would think a better understanding of this would be that it is her faith that is in view here. Steve |

Greetings Pastor Tim! Exactly!!! Is there a need to lie in the first place? In doing so it seems to me that mankind places faith in their own abilities rather than in God. How sad we are! Truth is we often trust in our self rather than God and in so many ways :-( How big is a mustard seed anyway? Steve |

258 | Is being cremated a sin? | 1 Sam 31:12 | humbledbyhisgrace | 191527 | ||
Greetings! Paste this number in the search box in the upper right hand corner of the page. This post on the subject may be helpful to you. Also, you can do a search on the word "cremation" and find many other post on the subject that might also be helpful in understanding this subject. By the way, don't believe everything you hear on TV! Even if it is a "minister"! I make no claims about the minister you speak of because I don't even know who you are talking about. But you can see many on the TV today who are clearly false prophets and contradict the word of God on a regular basis! God bless, Steve |

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 |
