41 | Does Galatains 4:7 say we will prosper? | 3 John 1:2 | mbooker | 57464 | ||
no. I referenced that scripture because I said 'servants/sons'. | ||||||
42 | 1 Tim 6:17 | 3 John 1:2 | mbooker | 57450 | ||
1 Tim 6:17-19 Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy; That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate; Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life. From this it appears that the rich can lay hold on eternal life. |

43 | What about Heb 11:8? | Gen 12:1 | mbooker | 57448 | ||
hum... let me see... OK By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went. Heb 11:8 Heb 11:8 happened before Gen 15:4-6 (you know what I mean :) ) If I am correct, Heb 11:8 is referring to Gen 12:1-4 The scriputes don't say it was counted righteousness unto him at this point(Gen 12:1-4). What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found? For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath [whereof] to glory; but not before God. For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness. Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt. But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness. Rom 4:1-5 If Abraham's 'going out' is a work, then rom 4:1-5 says if his work justified him, he has whereof to glory... but not before God. Abraham believed God and it was accounted unto to him for righteousness. That's my understanding. If you have a better insight, please share. :) Abba Father Bless... |

Deut 8 also shows God not having a problem with his people increasing in material goods. v11 sounds similiar to 1 Tim 6:17's warning v20 sounds a lot like prov 1:32 (For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them) 1 All the commandments which I command thee this day shall ye observe to do, that ye may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers. 2 And thou shalt remember all the way which the LORD thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, [and] to prove thee, to know what [was] in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments, or no. 3 And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every [word] that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live. 4 Thy raiment waxed not old upon thee, neither did thy foot swell, these forty years. 5 Thou shalt also consider in thine heart, that, as a man chasteneth his son, [so] the LORD thy God chasteneth thee. 6 Therefore thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him. 7 For the LORD thy God bringeth thee into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and depths that spring out of valleys and hills; 8 A land of wheat, and barley, and vines, and fig trees, and pomegranates; a land of oil olive, and honey; 9 A land wherein thou shalt eat bread without scarceness, thou shalt not lack any [thing] in it; a land whose stones [are] iron, and out of whose hills thou mayest dig brass. 10 When thou hast eaten and art full, then thou shalt bless the LORD thy God for the good land which he hath given thee. 11 Beware that thou forget not the LORD thy God, in not keeping his commandments, and his judgments, and his statutes, which I command thee this day: 12 Lest [when] thou hast eaten and art full, and hast built goodly houses, and dwelt [therein]; 13 And [when] thy herds and thy flocks multiply, and thy silver and thy gold is multiplied, and all that thou hast is multiplied; 14 Then thine heart be lifted up, and thou forget the LORD thy God, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage; 15 Who led thee through that great and terrible wilderness, [wherein were] fiery serpents, and scorpions, and drought, where [there was] no water; who brought thee forth water out of the rock of flint; 16 Who fed thee in the wilderness with manna, which thy fathers knew not, that he might humble thee, and that he might prove thee, to do thee good at thy latter end; 17 And thou say in thine heart, My power and the might of [mine] hand hath gotten me this wealth. 18 But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for [it is] he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as [it is] this day. 19 And it shall be, if thou do at all forget the LORD thy God, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I testify against you this day that ye shall surely perish. 20 As the nations which the LORD destroyeth before your face, so shall ye perish; because ye would not be obedient unto the voice of the LORD your God. |

45 | 1 Tim 6:17 | 3 John 1:2 | mbooker | 57400 | ||
Now Abram was extremely rich in livestock and in silver and in gold. Gen 13:2 Amp And the Lord has blessed my master mightily, and he has become great; and He has given him flocks, herds, silver, gold, menservants, maidservants, camels, and asses. Gen 24:35 Amp And Nathan said to David, Thou art the man. Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, I anointed thee king over Israel, and I delivered thee out of the hand of Saul; And I gave thee thy master's house, and thy master's wives into thy bosom, and gave thee the house of Israel and of Judah; and if that had been too little, I would moreover have given unto thee such and such things. 2 Sam 12:7-8 And God said unto him, Because thou hast asked this thing, and hast not asked for thyself long life; neither hast asked riches for thyself, nor hast asked the life of thine enemies; but hast asked for thyself understanding to discern judgment; Behold, I have done according to thy words: lo, I have given thee a wise and an understanding heart; so that there was none like thee before thee, neither after thee shall any arise like unto thee. And I have also given thee that which thou hast not asked, both riches, and honour: so that there shall not be any among the kings like unto thee all thy days. And if thou wilt walk in my ways, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as thy father David did walk, then I will lengthen thy days. 1 Kings 3:11-14 It apprears from these OT examples that God did not have a problem with his people being rich. |

46 | Is this when Abram was declared righteou | Gen 12:1 | mbooker | 57354 | ||
Gensis 15:4-6 And behold, the word of the Lord came to him, saying, This man shall not be your heir, but he who shall come from your own body shall be your heir. And He brought him outside [his tent into the starlight] and said, Look now toward the heavens and count the stars--if you are able to number them. Then He said to him, So shall your descendants be. And he [Abram] believed in (trusted in, relied on, remained steadfast to) the Lord, and He counted it to him as righteousness (right standing with God). If my understanding is correct, this is when Abram was counted righteous. |

47 | DELIVER MY MIND | Rom 12:2 | mbooker | 57349 | ||
For the rest, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is worthy of reverence and is honorable and seemly, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely and lovable, whatever is kind and winsome and gracious, if there is any virtue and excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think on and weigh and take account of these things [fix your minds on them].

48 | cult by what definition? | Bible general Archive 1 | mbooker | 57278 | ||
I would like offer a statement in the form of a question. Can this issue of what is a cult or who is a heretic be answered by: BELOVED, DO not put faith in every spirit, but prove (test) the spirits to discover whether they proceed from God; for many false prophets have gone forth into the world. By this you may know (perceive and recognize) the Spirit of God: every spirit which acknowledges and confesses [the fact] that Jesus Christ (the Messiah) [actually] has become man and has come in the flesh is of God [has God for its source]; And every spirit which does not acknowledge and confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh [but would annul, destroy, sever, disunite Him] is not of God [does not proceed from Him]. This [ nonconfession] is the [spirit] of the antichrist, [of] which you heard that it was coming, and now it is already in the world. I John 4:1-3 Just a thought... Abba Father bless... |

49 | body temple of god | Bible general Archive 1 | mbooker | 57243 | ||
Hi Brother Jack I can relate to your battle with smoking and wondering how you can quit. My battle is food. For too many years, I had been eating too much and I was not eating the right(healthy) foods. A few years ago I began to confess ('Death and life are in the power of the tongue' Proverb 18:21) the following: I am more than a conqueror through him that loves me. Romans 8:37 I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me. Phil 4:13 And my favorite: God ALWAYS causes me to triumph in Christ. 2 Cor 2:14 In Him, I know you can do it and I pray that you grab hold to these scriptures too and renew your mind. And know that you can quit because you can do all things through Christ. And remember that with God all things are possible(Matt 19:26). Also remember what the Lord told Sara. Is any thing too hard for the LORD? Abba Father bless you in triumphing and may you be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might(Eph 6:10)!!! :) |

50 | What love is or isn't? | 1 Corinthians | mbooker | 57172 | ||
I Corinthians 13:4-13a is one biblical definition: Love endures long and is patient and kind; love never is envious nor boils over with jealousy, is not boastful or vainglorious, does not display itself haughtily. It is not conceited (arrogant and inflated with pride); it is not rude (unmannerly) and does not act unbecomingly. Love (God's love in us) does not insist on its own rights or its own way, for it is not self-seeking; it is not touchy or fretful or resentful; it takes no account of the evil done to it [it pays no attention to a suffered wrong]. It does not rejoice at injustice and unrighteousness, but rejoices when right and truth prevail. Love bears up under anything and everything that comes, is ever ready to believe the best of every person, its hopes are fadeless under all circumstances, and it endures everything [without weakening]. Love never fails [never fades out or becomes obsolete or comes to an end]. Amplified version |

51 | "What did Jesus look like?" | Is 53:2 | mbooker | 56929 | ||
Revelation 1:13-15 "And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle. His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters." |

52 | What if you don't obey that command? | Rom 6:4 | mbooker | 56695 | ||
boy oh boy!! this is some subject!! I know a man who visited our church and he was upset because the pastor did not immediately water baptize those that came forward to accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. At our church, baptism is done on the 3rd Sunday. I make the distinction of 'water' baptism because so far in scripture I have seen 3 different agents used in baptism. water: John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not; John 1:26 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance. but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire: Matt 3:11 John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire: Luke 3:16 And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost. John 1:33 For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence. Acts 1:5 Holy Ghost/fire: I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance. but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire: Matt 3:11 John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire: Luke 3:16 And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost. John 1:33 For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence. Acts 1:5 the body of Christ: For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. 1 Cor 12:13 For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. Gal 3:27 Having said all that :) My question(s)/comment(s) are these: I will not use a hypothetical. I am going to use myself. I came forward and accepted Jesus as Lord and Saviour but I was not immediately baptized. It was a couple of weeks later (that 3rd Sunday evening at 6 pm :) ). Now, given my case, since I was not water baptized immediately after making my confession, was I being disobedient to God? If God commands that after we believe, we get baptized immediately, was my getting water baptized weeks later done in vain? btw, I am ASSURED of my salvation and KNOW without a doubt that I am born from above, so my post is simply to get feed back on the questions that popped in my head after reading through this thread. I also hope that 'we all attain to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature man, to the measure of the stature which belongs to the fullness of Christ' Abba Father bless each and every one of you... |

53 | where do blacks come from? | Bible general Archive 1 | mbooker | 56600 | ||
Here's a passage of scripture(specificially v26) for you to meditate on that could answer your question: Acts 17 22-28 22 Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars' hill, and said, Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things ye are too superstitious. 23 For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you. 24 God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands; 25 Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things; 26 And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation; 27 That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us: 28 For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring. the amplified version of v26: And He made from one [common origin, one source, one blood] all nations of men to settle on the face of the earth, having definitely determined [their] allotted periods of time and the fixed boundaries of their habitation (their settlements, lands, and abodes), |

54 | is jesus god? | John 1:1 | mbooker | 56446 | ||
This is how I look at the question: God, the Father is father. Jesus, the Son is son of the Father. If the father is God, does that make his son God? Well, if my father is a Booker, that makes me a Booker. I'm not the most high Booker but I am a Booker none the less. Likewise, if Jesus's father is God (and he is), that makes him a God. Not The Most High God, but still a God. Just how I see it. :) If my view needs correcting, just bring on the correcting tool (the Word of God). blessings to you all... :) |

55 | having vs. being a soul | Gen 2:7 | mbooker | 56445 | ||
Well, scripture says we are created in the image of God (Gensis 1:27) and God is a Spirit (John 4:24). So, my understanding is that we are a spirit just as God is a Spirit. As far as 'having' vs 'being' a soul, I Thess 5:23 refers to 'your spirit, soul and body'. With the understanding that I have at present, we are a spirit (Gensis 1:27) and we have a soul (I Thess 5:24). Also, I have heard that another translation of Gensis 2:7 says 'and man became another speaking spirit'. |
