42 | Christ comes in kingdom power at the End | Mark 9:1 | Asis | 96995 | ||
Lastday Did they all die before the Spirit of promise came and endued them with power? Did they all die before they received eternal life? Then the question becomes did all who were with Jesus in Mark 9:1 stay with Him or did some leave when the sayings got too hard? The most important question is "Why does this matter." Will knowing this bring me closer to Jesus? Asis |

Last day Physically, yes, just like we may, but we have eternal life and will not die as those before us. John 3:15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. [KJV] John 10:28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. [KJV] John 17:2 As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. [KJV] Acts 13:48 And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed. [KJV] I have eternal life and will not taste death. 2 Cor. 5:6-8 Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord: [7] (For we walk by faith, not by sight:) [8] We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. [KJV] The kingdom of Jesus Christ arrived on the day of Pentecost. God transfered us from the kingdom of darkness to the Kingdom of His Son when we first believed. We were given the life of the God, eternal life and ushered into the family as though we are natural born of God. Romans 8:16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: [KJV] Could it be that Rev 12:10 is refering to a past ocurrance in time. Something that has already happened. Remember Luke 10:18 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. [KJV] Could Jesus have been refering to something in the future of in the past? Did you read Colosians 1:13? Were we transfered into a powerless Kingdom. I wonder. Asis |

Lastday Couldn't this verse refer to the Holy Ghost's coming at Pentecost? I think it should be looked at in conjunction to Matthew 3:2; 4:17; 4:23; 6:33; 9:35; 10:7 just to name a few. He will physically reign on the throne of His kingdom when He returns. Check out Colosians 1:13. Asis |

45 | How to exercize the gift of prophecy? | 1 Thess 5:21 | Asis | 96514 | ||
I guess it must be our definition of prophesy. Here is one definition. Prophecy. This is supernatural utterance in the native tongue (1 Cor. 14:3). It is a miracle of divine utterance, not conceived by human thought or reasoning (Acts 3:21; Acts 11:28; Acts 21:11; 2 Peter 1:21; 1 Cor. 14:23-32). It includes speaking to people to edification, and exhortation and comfort (1 Cor. 14:3). It is not always tell of future events. Am I correct in thinking that God does not communicate with you except by scripture. Scripture is used to verify what someone says God has told them is from God. It will never contradict scripture. Prophesy is not an addition to scripture. In fact not all the Old Testament prophets prophesies were made part of scripture. I hasve never read a prophesy that came out of the school of the prophets. This is a Forum where the understanding of the Bible is discussed not whether someone is right or wrong. It is a place of learning. These posts are meant as points of discussion nothing more. |

Darcy Why did God not go through the mind of the old testament prophets and yet go through the mind of those who prophesy today. Has God changed His motus operendi? Do you not think that if God speaks through a man or woman He does it directly. When I write this I have to think about it before I put into words. But when I have prophesied the words come without a prethought. I think that God operates the same today as He did back then. The difference today is that the Holy Spirit has taken up residence within us and He stays within us. Just my opinion. |

47 | Jake's Expository Notes | 2 Pet 1:2 | Asis | 95950 | ||
Jake I have wondered that since Peter was an uneducated man and the apostle to the Jews whether he wrote his letter in Greek or in Hebrew or Aramaic. If in the latter then we are reading a transation of a translation. So then is anything lost or tilted. Peace in Hebrew is Shalom, shaw-lome; from ther Hebrew 7999 (shalam); safe, i.e. (figurative) well, happy, friendly; also (abstract) welfare, i.e. health, prosperity, peace:- do, familiar, fare, favour, friend, great, (good) health, (perfect, such as be at) peace (-able, -ably), prosper (-ity, -ous), rest, safe (ty), saute, welfare, (all is, be) well, wholly. Just wondering |

EdB what is done is done. We will all stand in judgement of our actions and our words on that day. I do believe that you are sincere in your concern for those who may be led astray from the truth. We must, though, sometimes look at the tone of our writtings. Some view what I wrote as an attack on you, but rather it was an attack on the style of correction than upon you personally. I too must watch my tone. To answer some of the other posts written about me let me remind all of you that the Way was considered a "cult" by the Orthodox religion of Jesus' time. I belong to and adhere to the teachings of the Lord of lords and the King of kings. The Son of the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, who talks to me through His word and His Spirit who lives in me. I follow the WAY. Whose cult do you belong to? This is not a defence of the undefencable. It is about the way we treat the lost. I mean would we attack the beliefs of the Roman Catholics because they believe in the "deity" of Mary. No. The subject is not taken up and if a question is asked it is handled delicately, with love and compassion. After all there is no biblical foundation for praying to her is there? Do you meet the jehovah's witness at your door with a club and chase them from your property yelling "heritic, heretic"? I talk with them and try to show them where their error is and if they are unwilling to receive what is being given to them I tell then that God loves them good bye. Sometimes our zealousness gets over zealous. You and me. I thank God that we love the one who is important. We are asked to back up all our statements with scripture. Then we then we respond with opinion based on something we heard. There have been a great many posts about the jewishness of Jesus and the beliefs of Jews that are without any foundation but these statements are allowed to go unchallenged. We believe in a Jewish God who sent His Jewish Son to take our place on the Roman cross for our sins so we can be made into new creatures and become Jewish and heirs of the promises given to the father of the Jews, Abraham . We read a Jewish book written by Jewish men and we really no nothing about our heritage. Allowing posts to demean the ancestry of our faith. I am not called to defend the honor and the truth of the Jews but I know more about them because I follow the one true God. Why do I even mention this? Because WE have gotten away from what is important. Showing the world the truth, through out words and our actions. You can take what I have said and do with it what you like. EdB I feel that we have given each other permission, in past posts, to get involved in each others lives. If I have it wrong then tell me. It is unfortunate that sometimes things are written out in the open for others to misinterpret. One last time, my post was to open the eyes of your understanding not attack you personally. If all of you cannot take me as my Lord takes me, Asis, then turn me in and get me thrown off the Forum. Because I too am "DEFENDER OF THE FAITH AND THE TRUTH OF GOD" |

EdB Who are these scripture police who brand a doctine a cult? We better watch out or the Forum might find itself branded PHARASEES. By the way this is what the Title: The Treasury of David, Psalms 1-57 Author: Spurgeon, Charles H. VERSE 6 “But I am a worm, and no man.” This verse is a miracle in language. How could the Lord of glory be brought to such abasement as to be not only lower than the angels, but even lower than men. What a contrast between “I AM” and “I am a worm”! yet such a double nature was found in the person of our Lord Jesus when bleeding on the tree. He felt himself to be comparable to a helpless, powerless, down–trodden worm, passive while crushed, and unnoticed and despised by those who trod upon him. He selects the weakest of creatures, which is all flesh; and becomes, when trodden upon, writhing, quivering flesh, utterly devoid of any might except strength to suffer. This was a true likeness of himself when his body and soul had become a mass of misery—the very essence of agony—in the dying pangs of crucifixion. Man by nature is but a worm; but our Lord puts himself even beneath man, on account of the scorn which was heaped upon him and the weakness which he felt, and therefore he adds, “and no man.” The privileges and blessings which belonged to the fathers he could not obtain while deserted by God, and common acts of humanity were not allowed him, for he was rejected of men; he was outlawed from the society of earth, and shut out from the smile of heaven. How utterly did the Saviour empty himself of all glory, and become of no reputation for our sakes! “A reproach of men”—their common butt and jest; a byword and a proverb unto them: the sport of the rabble, and the scorn of the rulers. Oh the caustic power of reproach, to those who endure it with patience, yet smart under it most painfully! “And despised of the people.” The was against him. The very people who would once have crowned him then contemned him, and they who were benefited by his cures sneered at him in his woes. Sin is worthy of all reproach and contempt, and for this reason Jesus, the Sinbearer, was given up to be thus unworthily and shamefully entreated. Attention: Scripture Police Charles Hadden Spurgeon promoites the doctrine of a cult. Never use any commentaries by him. Cover your eyes and ears. Satire intended. Edb you will be judged by the same criterea you judge. Lighten up. Let the love of Jesus rule and reign in your life. It seems you would have the forum just be scripture with no explanation whatsoever because if God isn't writing the post it is all just opinions and beliefs. Sweet lips, sweet lips (just talking to myself). EdB what I have read so far has been cruel and you too Makarios. You two have smelled blood and show no mercy. LORD help us. |

51 | His Yoke? | Matt 11:29 | Asis | 95677 | ||
In the time of Jesus people carried their burdens by the use of a yoke. A piece of wood carved to fit the shoulders evenly and comfortabley. The burdens were suspended from each end of the yoke. See Jesus didn't say take the yoke of the oxen upon you He said take my yoke. What could He have been carrying upon His yoke? New American Standard Bible Isa. 9:6 through Isa. 9:7 (NASB) 6 For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us; And the government will rest on His shoulders; And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace. 7 There will be no end to the increase of His government or of peace, On the throne of David and over his kingdom, To establish it and to uphold it with justice and righteousness From then on and forevermore. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will accomplish this. The government, the rule, the dominion of God is upon His shoulders. His yoke. When you let Jesus govern, rule, have dominion over your life then you will enter into His rest. Jesus wants us to submit to His authority and let Him rule our lives. Anything that we do of our own is not pleasing to God. We are to be His instruments of righteousness. By the way an instrument is something that is played by another not by itself. |

53 | What constitutes 'abuse' on the forum? | Acts 17:11 | Asis | 94808 | ||
EdB We seem to want to enter into this argument about what was going on when Jesus spent the three days in the earth. I wonder if God didn’t tell us so we could waste our time trying to figure out what the truth is. He (God) does allude to it in Ps 68:18; Is 61:1; Eph 4:8-10. See the current listings on the Forum. But that is not the point. The object of the posts seems to discredit any one associated with Kenneth Hagin, Kenneth Copeland, Joyce Meyers et al. Of course those who write the criticisms, like Hank, are well read in the teachings of the afore mentioned. So each one of the authors of the posts are experts in the doctrine of Word of Faith. I think the only ones who know what they are talking about are you and Hank. The rest only know about the Word of Faith teachers what they have heard about them. Are we then guilty of proclaiming the opinions of others instead of forming our own opinions from our own observations. The Greeks would be reviled. Ed I am interested in knowing what Orthodox Christianity is. Is it Catholicism, Eastern Orthodoxy, Judaism, Baptist Doctrine etc? Why don’t we try fighting error with the truth instead of personal attacks. Jesus said the truth will set us free. So our weapons should embrace the truth. Do the Catholics have the only truth? The Baptists? The Methodists? The United Pentecostals? The Jehovah’s Witness? Us? It is pretty arrogant for any denomination to say they have all the answers. We need to admit that we all have some error in our doctrine. Especially since God doesn’t talk to any of us, to instruct us in the revelation of the mysteries of His word. I think we need to encourage one another to look into the scriptures and let GOD show us the truth. If I am in error about a behavior what does scripture say you are to do about it. Go and confront. If I won’t repent then take another so that by two or three witnesses all things can be confirmed. If repentance still is not forthcoming then before the church (forum). Then we are to treat them as a gentile. Paul takes the one who is remaining in sin and casts them to satan so they may be saved in the Day of the Lord. Not beat them up with words. It is God’s job to change us. He is the one who renews our minds. Let rebut error with the truth. Justme has been trying to get a string going about the things we have in common in our doctrines to no avail. I guess people like strife and discord better than harmony. Have you ever heard the message by Max Lucado the he delivered at the Promise Keepers pastor conference in Atlanta a few years back. He asked all in attendance to shout out their place of origin. The result was a cacophony of voices. A rumbling of indiscernible words. Then he asked them to shout the name of the Lord we serve. JESUS was the resounding call of all who were there. A word that reverberated around the arena. That is the answer to our discord. Ed I want to change you so bad, but it is not my job. I can not change you anymore than I can change the color of the sky. However, I know someone who can. If the sky needs changing He can and will do it. He may use me to plant His seeds of change or water the seeds of change but He is the one who will harvest. If some one won’t listen to the truth let God handle it. Remember LOVE NEVER FAILS.

54 | What constitutes 'abuse' on the forum? | Acts 17:11 | Asis | 94657 | ||
EdB There are times when the arguments about scripture get out of hand on the forum. Some one makes a statement about what they have heard or read by a Word of Faith preacher and it becomes feeding time in the shark tank. It seems sometimes my screen is tinted red. Doctrine makes a difference. God is in control. He changes a person not the contributors to the forum. I pray for those who do not see the truth because of the veil of religion over the eyes of their heart. If graceful or any other person has a skewed conception of the meaning of scripture we need to pray for them and lay the truth in front of them. Not chew them up and spit them out on the ground. Do you think that Jesus was ranting and raving in heaven because someone called Him a "PITIFUL EMANCIPATED WORM". Brother, I know He has been called a lot worse than that. In fact back in the day I'm sure I was the one who said it. JESUS LOVED me then as He loves those who persecute Him now. It is too bad that you hold such unforgiveness to those who you ministered with in the past. I am not niave and realize that their are wolves out among the sheep. I have encountered some. Jesus teaches us to love our enemies. Forgive our brother as God has forgiven us. EdB, I find that as I read the notes and answers on the forum I sometimes do not see the love of Christ in their words. Scripture is the written will of God. It is alive and cleans us, cuts the division between our spirit and our soul. It is the way not the Law. Jesus can take care of Himself. He wants us to stop doing it for Him and let Him do it for us. That is what I was talking about to Graceful. Be concerned about your relationship with Jesus and stop getting snared by the devil in his traps. It will get you nothing by winning or losing an argument (and most of the strings are arguments not discussions) on the Forum. The tactics used to discredit anyone not holding the same doctinal view of a few on the Forum are disgusting. For instance I did not agree with any of the postings in the concerned string. but you start your note with, "Let's look at what your agree with." Let's look at what I said. "You see we can argue what happened during the three days Jesus spent in the earth, setting captives free (my paraphrase), conquering death, smashing the gates of Hades, or we can shout to the heavens that He is risen and has given all of us eternal life and salvation and a job." There is nowhere in my post that I agree with any statements calling my Lord a worm. But anyone reading your post would think I did. I wonder if there isn't a spirit of bitterness that has gained entry into some who post on the forum. It seems that the forum is being used to separate us instead of bring us together IN CHRIST. Ed I love you as a brother in Christ and I have no quarrel with you. All I ask is that you reflect on how much of the love of Christ comes out in your postings. I hope that I have n ot offended you in any way. If I have then look into yourself to see why. Then forgive me. Yours in Christ Jeff |

Graceful It is a shame that we "christians," little Christs, don't know who we are in Christ. We are more concerned with some point of doctrine that doesn't concern the majority of those who hear it. You see we can argue what happened during the three days Jesus spent in the earth, setting captives free (my paraphrase), conquering death, smashing the gates of Hades, or we can shout to the heavens that He is risen and has given all of us eternal life and salvation and a job. But noooo we prefer to argue the letter of the word and not walk in and teach the spirit of the word. We spend way too much time telling others that they are wrong. rather than instructing believers in the life of victory. It will be better when we die and go to heaven. What about here? We need to tell each other what the word says about our condition here on this earth now as believers in the Messiah. We should tell the saints of God what He has done so we might be His intruments of righteousness HERE. His light HERE. His salt HERE. We need to spread the good news of the Kingdom of God to those who are still in the kingdom of dakness. Tell all the people that they don't have to be buffeted about like a cork in the ocean by an enemy that has been paralized by our High Priest, by our Brother Jesus the Messiah. We need to equip the saints for the ministry of reconciliation not confrontation. Show the world that the love of God is so great it breaks the yoke of all that binds us. Tell all the world that we are "Free at last, Free at last, Thank God Almighty we are Free at last" Here on this earth by the power and the might of God Almighty through Jesus the Messiah. But no, we of the forum are defenders of the faith not exhorters of the faith. Graceful, I want to tell you that you are the righteousness of God just because you believe. You are God's daughter (I think you are a woman, if I'm wrong I appologuize and tell you are a son of God) and a joint heir with Jesus. You have been indwelt with the Spirit of God Almighty. You have recieved a new nature that has wiped away ALL the old that you were and He has filled you with newness of life which is from and of Him. He has removed your citizenship of this world and transfered you and given you citizenship in the Kingdom of His Son. You have been given a most precious faith so you might partake of God's divine nature by His placing YOU IN CHRIST JESUS. And by Him and through Him and in Him YOU can do ALL things. He has given you the mind of Christ. AND BY ALL HE HAS DONE WE CAN DESTROY THE WORKS OF THE DEVIL!!!! HALLELUJAH (a jewish word meaning PRAISE THE LORD). Take heart woman of God, leave these childish things to the children and do that which I have called you to do. Your friend in Christ Jeff |

Are you saying that if we mess up and quench the Spirit or disobey the leading of the Spirit of God we have rejected God forever?

58 | What is "this attitude?" | Phil 3:15 | Asis | 93247 | ||
mommapbs . . .I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ 9and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ—the righteousness that comes from God and is by faith. 10I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, 11and so, somehow, to attain to the resurrection from the dead. We are leave behind us and the everything that is of the world. We are cleansed by the blood of Christ from all unrighteousness. But we are given to God by the Cross. We are basptized in Christ's death and ressurected in newness of life. This is a fact and God has done it even though we might not have a revelation of it personally. Paul did. He left all he had in his "old life" behind. Even considered it trash in comparison to what he had attained in his "new life", given to him by God though Jesus. Even the sufferings he had to endure are better than anything the world had to offer because he suffered them for Christ's sake. He wanted to be known by one thing and that was to be "found in Him". When we, as Paul tells us, realize, have, a personal experience, revelation knowledge of what God has done through the life, crucifixtion, and resurrection of Jesus, we will know that the loss of all things is gain. Philip. 3:8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, [KJV] I will, am suffering the loss of all things that I may gain Christ (the Anointed One and His Anointing). If I hold even one thing back I hold it in greater esteem than Christ. Jesus says "Follow Me." Have we gotten up and left all behind and followed Him. We must continue In Him until we attain that which we do not have. . . resurrected bodies. Then we will be complete. Just some thoughts Asis |

Hank, how is the "splintered church" a thing that makes all doctrine important. How did the church get splintered? Who splintered it? Did Christ? I would think that Christ wants a unified church. It seems to me that we need to look at all scripture and not just that which supports our beliefs. When we look at scripture in this way we are saying, "We have it right. You are wrong." Who are we to say such a thing. Did we instruct God? Do we have a complete understanding of all that He has put in the scriptures. Are all the mysteries revealed to us? Are you saying that unless we all subscribe to the "The Baptist Faith and Message" (this is a metaphor for all demoninational doctrine) we have it wrong? I guess that must be why we are a splintered church. Have we stopped being teachable. Do we have an attitude of knowing more than the teacher. That is what needs to be exposed for what it is, and cast away as worthless chaff. -- Asis | ||||||
