281 | Which teaching | Matt 14:29 | Pastor Glenn | 65992 | ||
Meredith, That is exactly what I see. But, before he became afraid, he trusted Jesus enough to step out on the water. One interesting point is that there is no record of anyone else in scripture that walked on water. Also, he became afraid after he took his eyes off of Jesus and instead, began to look at the waves.

282 | Which teaching | Matt 14:29 | Pastor Glenn | 65990 | ||
EdB, I think "word of faith" teaching: 1. tries to tell God what He must do for us. 2. says that our words are containers that give us power to change reality whether God wants us to or not. 3. says simply "name it and claim it" prosperity. 4. says to pray "thy will be done" is a sin. However, it is better to focus on Jesus' faith teaching. Pastor Glenn |

James4jesus, You need to talk to the guy on your job that gave you the bible. He can answer your questions face to face and lead you to a good church. Go with him to bible class and Sunday school. In the meantime, do you have questions concering this scripture (Romans 10:9) or some other scripture? My church is in Chicago, Illinois. Are you nearby? Pastor Glenn |

284 | Do you believe in the one true God? | Gen 1:26 | Pastor Glenn | 65531 | ||
Roger Wilco, Definition of eternal: Being without beginning or end; existing outside of time. There is no such thing as eternal sons (small s) of God. This applies to Jesus Christ Son (big S) of God alone. You said, "Galations 3:26, clearly states we are all "sons of God" through faith in Christ. Romans 8:12-17 elaborates. As Christians, we all hope for eternal life." How do we know that someone has faith in Christ without asking? My questions were not intended to tear anyone down. I clearly stated: "Sorry for asking so many questions, but it would help very much so that we know how to respond to your questions." Pastor Glenn |

285 | Did Jesus suffer in hell when he died? | Luke 23:46 | Pastor Glenn | 65422 | ||
Brother EdB, Why didn't you say this to gracefull 20 posts ago? They say you can catch more flies with honey. Now put down your weapon. Or are you like one of King David's mighty men: 2 Samuel 23:10 He arose and attacked the Philistines until his hand was weary, and HIS HAND STUCK TO THE SWORD. The LORD brought about a great victory that day; and the people returned after him only to plunder.(;-) Pastor Glenn |

286 | Did Jesus suffer in hell when he died? | Luke 23:46 | Pastor Glenn | 65359 | ||
EdB, You said, "...the reason I fight WOF is I consider this false teaching to be the most harmful challenge to true Christianity of any lie placed on this earth... ...Everything circles around me in society God is at my beck and call. Humanity is the center of the universe, God has to respond to man. " This is part of the sin condition as men walk in the flesh, rather than in the spirit. False WOF teaching is just one small vulnerability of church goers, for some it is lust for sex, or lust for money, or pride. There is nothing new about these things: 1 John 2:16 For all that is in the world--the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life--is not of the Father but is of the world. Doers--Not Hearers Only James 1:21 Therefore lay aside all filthiness and overflow of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls. 22But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. 23For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror; 24for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was. 25But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does. 26If anyone among you[2] thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this one's religion is useless. 27Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.

287 | Did Jesus suffer in hell when he died? | Luke 23:46 | Pastor Glenn | 65355 | ||
EdB, I do not believe in the WOF movements "name it and claim it" prosperity sayings. I also believe that "thy will be done" is not a sin since Jesus said it. I am not at all now and niether do I plan to be involved in WOF teaching. I am saying that we should not throw out the baby with the bath water. God has made promises and covenants that He will not break and we do need to know, and understand, God's covenants with us: Numbers 23:19 "God is not a man, that He should lie, Nor a son of man, that He should repent. Has He said, and will He not do? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good? The following scripture is not directly related to this subject, but I just like to read it: 2 Peter 3 8But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 9The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us,[1] not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance. |

288 | Did Jesus suffer in hell when he died? | Luke 23:46 | Pastor Glenn | 65343 | ||
Hank, While God wants us to learn of Him, all of our wisdom and knowledge is always far shorter than His, so He is not impressed. Even the great CRI better make sure that they are not fighting God when they attack ministries: Acts 5:39 but if it is of God, you cannot overthrow it--lest you even be found to fight against God." Acts 23:9 Then there arose a loud outcry. And the scribes of the Pharisees' party arose and protested, saying, "We find no evil in this man; but if a spirit or an angel has spoken to him, let us not fight against God." Luke 10:21 In that hour Jesus rejoiced in the Spirit and said, "I thank You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and prudent and revealed them to babes. Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in Your sight. Isaiah 55:8"For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways," says the LORD. 9"For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts. Psalm 2:2The kings of the earth set themselves, And the rulers take counsel together, Against the LORD and against His Anointed, saying, 3"Let us break Their bonds in pieces And cast away Their cords from us." 4He who sits in the heavens shall laugh; The LORD shall hold them in derision. Psalm 59:8But You, O LORD, shall laugh at them; You shall have all the nations in derision. Pastor Glenn |

289 | Did Jesus suffer in hell when he died? | Luke 23:46 | Pastor Glenn | 65319 | ||
Brother Moran, You said, "You seem to be reading Mark 9:38-41 as a treatment of how to deal with falst ministries. Yet, the passage nowhere says that these individuals were false, only that they were not of the twelve. The meaning of the passage is quite clear, that those who are not against us are with us. " No, I am not reading this scripture as a treatment of how to deal with false ministries. I am looking at it the way Christ meant for it to be used, that is to determine whether or not a ministry is false. So yes, the meaning of the passage is quite clear, that those who are not against us are with us. 2 John 1:7 For many deceivers have gone out into the world who do not confess Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist. 8Look to yourselves, that we do not lose those things we worked for, but that we may receive a full reward. 9Whoever transgresses and does not abide in the doctrine of Christ does not have God. He who abides in the doctrine of Christ has both the Father and the Son. 10If anyone comes to you and does not bring this doctrine, do not receive him into your house nor greet him; 11for he who greets him shares in his evil deeds. Notice: 7"...who do not confess Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh..." The point being made in this scripture has to do with the deity of Christ. All I am saying is that we need to deal with the heart of the issue. If WOF teachers all were to agree that it is wrong to impose their will "above God's will". And if they were all to say that words are not "containers" that give us magical powers. And if all other false teaching is rejected, is faith healing still allowed? Is faith in God to bring us through our problems allowed? Should we still have faith in God for anything else besides for salvation through Christ? Gracefull was saying that she did not "see" the false teachings that were being alledged. So why is this lynch mob gathered around. Pastor Glenn |

justme, I have posed the question of Mark 9:38-41, along with a different question, to CRI about 18 months ago. They responded to the other question but did not address my question of Mark 9:38-41. Can you tell me if you remember seeing a reference to it in his book? You said, "If some one is teaching the true Christ even with wrong motives, my understanding Jesus said leave then alone. However that is not the case of false Word of Faith teachers,..." That is a broad brush to say that they do not believe in the "true Christ". How does he back that statement up? You said, "If you can tell me one false statement I will NEVER mention Hanks name again on this forum. " Well, I have already heard him repeat a false statement over and over that may appear in his book. He says "Every heretical teaching begins with a misconception of the nature of God.". The key word here is "begins". A "misconception of the nature of God" is not a beginning of heresy, but rather, it is a symptom of not glorifying God: Rom 1: 19because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. 20For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, 21because, although they knew God, THEY DID NOT GLORIFY HIM AS GOD, NOR WERE THANKFUL, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. The truth is that heresies begin with the refusal to “GLORIFY HIM AS GOD”. God is not impressed with bible knowledge: Luke 8:10 And He said, "To you it has been given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God, but to the rest it is given in parables, that "Seeing they may not see, And hearing they may not understand.'[Isaiah 6:9] Isaiah 6: 10"Make the heart of this people dull, And their ears heavy, And shut their eyes; Lest they see with their eyes, And hear with their ears, And understand with their heart, And return and be healed." John 3: 10Jesus answered and said to him, "Are you the teacher of Israel, and do not know these things? 11Most assuredly, I say to you, We speak what We know and testify what We have seen, and you do not receive Our witness. 12If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things?

292 | Did Jesus suffer in hell when he died? | Luke 23:46 | Pastor Glenn | 65268 | ||
justme, I respect your judgement on this matter, as well as, your wisdom and experience. But I do not fully respect his judgement since it does seem that Hank Hanegraaff inores Jesus' teaching: Mark 9:38 Now John answered Him, saying, "Teacher, we saw someone who does not follow us casting out demons in Your name, and we forbade him because he does not follow us." 39But Jesus said, "Do not forbid him, for no one who works a miracle in My name can soon afterward speak evil of Me. 40For he who is not against us is on our[3] side. 41For whoever gives you a cup of water to drink in My name, because you belong to Christ, assuredly, I say to you, he will by no means lose his reward. If you can tell me that Hank deals with this scripture in his book, then I will buy it and read it. Otherwise, it is probably not a well balanced treatment of the subject of false ministries. God Bless, Pastor Glenn |

Amen EdB, That reminds me of what Christ said in response to Satan's temptation to jump from the pinnacle of the temple: Luke 4:9Then he brought Him to Jerusalem, set Him on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to Him, "If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down from here. 10For it is written: "He shall give His angels charge over you, To keep you,' 11and, "In their hands they shall bear you up, Lest you dash your foot against a stone."'[Psalm 91:11, 12] 12And Jesus answered and said to him, "It has been said, "You shall not tempt the LORD your God."'[Deuteronomy 6:16] Pastor Glenn |

294 | Jesus' faith teaching vs Word of Faith? | Matt 14:29 | Pastor Glenn | 65235 | ||

295 | Did Jesus suffer in hell when he died? | Luke 23:46 | Pastor Glenn | 65221 | ||
Yes EdB, That is indeed Word of Faith taken to an extreme where it is unbiblical. But how do we arrive at the right balance so that we are not always walking in the other extreme of always being in doubt like Thomas? Jesus Christ spoke against fear and doubt many times. Where did He ever speak against too much faith? It is truly not right to say "my tire is perfect" and expect God to honor your faith concerning the whether or not the tire is flat. But what if we say, instead, "Lord help", while trusting God to bring us through whatever dangers that that flat tire may pose to our safety? I am not defending "Word of Faith" in the way it teaches falsely that words are containers that give us power to change reality. However, I do believe that "words of faith in God" will bring us through, in whatever way He chooses, is biblical. It may be good to start a new thread at Mat 14:29. Pastor Glenn |

296 | Did Jesus suffer in hell when he died? | Luke 23:46 | Pastor Glenn | 65184 | ||
justme, I have not read Christianity in Crisis, by Hank Hanegraaff, but I have often listened to "The Bible Answer Man" broadcast. I often think that Hank goes too far in lumping all faith teaching into "word of faith" condemnation. Some statements are very marginal. At the same time, I have heard him play some very outrageous audio statements from Benny Hinn and others. Heb 1:3By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible. 6But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. Also, Jesus had something to say about ministries in His name: Mark 9: 38 Now John answered Him, saying, "Teacher, we saw someone who does not follow us casting out demons in Your name, and we forbade him because he does not follow us." 39But Jesus said, "Do not forbid him, for no one who works a miracle in My name can soon afterward speak evil of Me. 40For he who is not against us is on our[3] side. 41For whoever gives you a cup of water to drink in My name, because you belong to Christ, assuredly, I say to you, he will by no means lose his reward.

297 | Should Christians remain silent on these | Rev 17:5 | Pastor Glenn | 64606 | ||
Emmaus, I like how you said, "...scripture can give the proper frame of reference for determining the morality of various actions. " I feel that we should examine the scriptures, pray, and then take a stand for or against: James 1 5If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. 6But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. 7For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; 8he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways. God bless, Pastor Glenn |

298 | "...these necessary things: ..."??? | Rev 17:5 | Pastor Glenn | 64596 | ||
Hank, Thanks for your well rounded response. You said, "Genetic engineering, even human cloning, looms ever nearer on the horizon, and I believe it (parts of it at least; I would exclude human cloning) like nuclear energy, has at least an equal potential for good as for evil. While I would never promote the idea that the Christian should take the ostrich approach to human problems, hiding his head in the sand and hoping a weak hope that somehow the problem will either solve itself or go away, neither would I promote the idea that Christians must become activists to the extent of taking matters into their own hands. We must surrender first and foremost to the sovereign Lord. It is He, not we, who is in charge. We can be instruments for change in the world, but we must be His instruments. We must seek His will through much prayer.." I agree that genetic engineering has potential for good, as well as, for evil. Human cloning is not really new; as it is already, it is called identical twins. Identical twins have the exact same DNA, but their fingerprints are always slightly different. The "Tower of Babel" mentality is what I think that offends God, in that it says proudly that "We will go to heaven, whether God wants us to or not!". To build a great tower was not the problem, it was the disregard for the one true God. It is this disregard for God that is more dangerous than the atomic bomb because it is like daring God to stop them. I believe that God brings special judgement against nations, not just "The great Tribulation", but judgements of the order of what Jonah preached to against Ninevah: Total distruction of their entire city! It is not so much the technology of man that bothers me, as I work in high technology as an Electronics Engineer, but it is God's judgement against sin. By the way, Romans 8 is also one of my favorite scriptures. God Bless, Pastor Glenn |

299 | could this scripture be related? Zech3:1 | Jude 1:9 | Pastor Glenn | 64513 | ||
EdB, After reading the scripture you gave from 2 Pet 2:10-14, I read the rest of the chapter. Verse 22 really stands out: 22But it has happened to them according to the true proverb: "A dog returns to his own vomit,"[Proverbs 26:11] and, "a sow, having washed, to her wallowing in the mire." A Christian should really detest the idea of slipping back into sin after reading that. Pastor Glenn |
