41 | Does this mean that it is wrong to ask? | Rev 17:16 | glory777 | 59896 | ||
Man, I'm sorry I even answered this the first time and got the ball in a "spin"! Eschatology is an important part of the bible. We are to be prepared for what is to happen, know the signs to watch for and I believe it will be perfectly clear when it does - no debate neccessary. The book of Revelation especially comes along with a blessing for reading it(Rev. 1:3)so we should study it. We should know the order of things, even if they are not things we understand now. There is enough in the prophetic books to let us know the season is near but to guess at what specific roles certain leaders or countries will play in it is setting us up for ridicule. Pastor Glenn, you pointed out the hatred toward Christian missionaries, etc. Again, I could point to Hitler - who many thought was the antichrist - who hated Jews, Christians, etc. and set up means to try to eradicate them all. They were wrong, as we know. Other times in history, events made it seem as though the times were right. Now we see a lot more in our technological world that makes sense of the things written in Revelation. So, I do believe the time is nearer. But there are still things we do not understand, and until we do, I think we should pray about these things, keep them in our minds, keep our eyes open, do the work the Lord has for us now, and wait for the total revelation to be revealed to us. PEACE to you all- Debbie |

43 | Straight answer about tithe. | 2 Cor 9:7 | glory777 | 58218 | ||
kalos- But weren't there things just understood, either by inspiration of the Holy Spirit or tradition that is never specifically stated in the bible? How did Abraham know to give a tithe to Melchesidek (sp) and as far as that goes, how did Abraham know what was "clean" and "unclean" as to offering sacrifices to the Lord - or Job for that matter? The sacrifices were paid in full by the Lord Jesus, but as far as the "guideline" for giving, the tithe - or tenth- if applicable in the O.T. and not specifically denounced in the new, would be a fair amount. Again, it is also a matter of the heart. If you feel you are forced to give that amount - keep it. If you feel you should give more, by all means go for it. I just think sometimes it is a matter of people wanting to hold on too tightly to things that are not theirs to start out with. It has been shown in polls that as income goes up, what is given to churches goes up at a much lesser level. I think that is saying something. Debbie |

44 | Releases from tithing 10 per cent? | 2 Cor 9:7 | glory777 | 58201 | ||
I am not sure. I know He loves me just as much as He loves the worst sinner - Christ gave His life for us both, so no matter what I give to the Lord, He will love me. I also know that there are different crowns (real or figuratively can be debated) for service done in this life. Our works will be rewarded although salvation is not one of the rewards. So I am proposing that a tithe is a good guideline, but if possible, to go over as much as your heart takes you. Notice, I did not say "mind". My mind would tell me "I might need this extra money - food, time, fill in the blank! Sometimes, we have to go out on faith knowing the Lord will supply all our needs. I have a question for you- Is the Lord displeased if we don't bring followers to Him? Is he really pleased with men like Billy Graham (you know what I mean) and displeased if we don't "muster up" to Billy's volume? Or does he see the heart? Debbie |

Hank- just to let you know- It has probably been so long since you have been baptized- After 7 years of rededicating my life to the Lord-after 20 years of being born again - I finally was baptized on the 23rd of June, 2002. When I came out of the water, all I could do was exult in the fact that Satan, the accuser of the saints, could no more stand before the throne of God and say "Look at her - she won't even be baptized! She won't make a public show of obedience to You!" And he can't try to hit ME over the head with that fact! One more step on the road to accepting the freedom Christ bought for me. Praise His name!

47 | Can anyone answer these simple questions | Bible general Archive 1 | glory777 | 48411 | ||
luvconquers- It is a shame what atrocities are done in the name of religion - not just Christianity but all religions. But you have to look at the fruits of what people are doing to see how they stand in their faith. Christ preached love, God is a God of love and justice, patience and longsuffering. You have to read His word and look at the recurring theme. He sent His only Son to die the most horrible of deaths so you and I could stand righteous before Him, if we accept the sacrifice He made. We are to be like Him. He loved us, no matter what. Can we do anything less to others? Anyone that teaches or acts any different is not true to the Word of God or to what Jesus taught. It is their works that will tell you if they are true to what they confess to be. I am a Christian. I try to mold my life after Christ's. I am also human and fail, but I repent of my failures and, with God's help, will come a little closer to where God wants me to be tomorrow. I do know, the promises He makes me in His word are true. He gives peace. He gives joy. He gives strength. And He gives the ability to forgive. He also gives the ability to love - no matter what is done to me, and in being able to pray for and love (now I did not say "like"!), I have found my perception of others has changed. I don't know if this helps. I wish I could talk to you. But your bitterness and anger will only grow like fire. Those were not Christian you were talking about, but Satan sure used them to get you and others to question and rail at those who are. Just what he wanted. If I can help, please E-mail me at the address given in my profile with "forum" in the subject line. I pray that God will show Himself to you for what He truly is. I pray that He will give you peace and love and the joy that only He can give, for He is the author of it. Debbie |

48 | Being saved by heavenly hosts scriptures | Acts 12:7 | glory777 | 47802 | ||
I remember another instance and I don't know if it was Elijah or Elisha that when in the beginning of a battle, his servant was so afraid when he saw the enemy. The prophet asked the Lord to open his servant's eyes and he then could see the angels standing ready for battle to fight against the enemy. Does someone know the book-chapter for that? Debbie |

SERENETIME- I can't figure out what the big question is here. God made man and woman to complement each other. He also states it is better to marry than to burn (with passion). There is nothing saying anything that solo sex is alright or an alternative. It also gives guidelines for not having sex with your spouse. There are cravings the body has and if let loose can gain control. The Lord always leaves a way out - usually prayer and turning to him. Sexual pleasure was made for one thing - to bring a man and wife closer together and for propagation. That is the ONLY place sex is acceptable. And yes, the bible says it is sin, not specifically, but it doesn't have too. Not for someone who truly wants to follow the Lord's will and not look for a way out of it. Debbie |

I am sorry, Searcher. I think that was beneath you. As I stated before, this is a subject we will never agree on, but I know I am not alone in my beliefs. I also do not force them on anyone. Nor do I try to humiliate anyone because of theirs. Debbie |

51 | Anti Christ? Is America Babylon or Iraq? | Daniel | glory777 | 47140 | ||
farout- Many of his books have come out way before the Left Behind books were ever published. Also, the majority of the information he uses is also agreed with by Pastor John Hagee and many others. If we can not glean information by studies others have done, why bother with asking anyone anything? As I said, you have to check things out for yourself. Even those who have studied things in the New testament cannot agree on everything, let alone prophesies that involve future events. I say, go to different sources for information and ALWAYS check back with what the Bible says and use that as your bedrock. Debbie |

52 | For Ed B. | Bible general Archive 1 | glory777 | 47116 | ||
EdB- One other thing. You can give because you are required to until you are blue in the face. If you give 1 per cent begrudgingly you might as well keep it. And if you give because you want to get something back - keep it. If you give joyfully, rejoicing that the Lord has blessed you with what is His and ask Him to multiply what you have given for His glory you will see results of your giving. 2 Cor. 9:7 states God loves a cheerful giver. I love the word for "cheerful." Strong's gives it as hilaros. Does it ring a bell? Do we give hilariously? Debbie |

53 | Is speaking in tongues for today? | Bible general Archive 1 | glory777 | 47115 | ||
Searcher- You know I am Pentecostal and I am not saying a person is not Christian nor filled with the Holy Spirit if they don't speak in tongues. But I believe Corinthians states "tongues of men or angels". I have heard of people speaking in tongues and having a person from another country that they have never been to understanding what was being said. I speak in tongues, but I have never felt led to use it publicly and it is not just for display. It is used for my own personal prayer life and if ever a time in history that personal edification was needed, today is just as needful as 1900 years ago. This subject has been gone over and over so many times in the forum. There are those who believe in them, and those who don't and only when the Lord comes, when they aren't needed anymore, will the REAL truth come out! Peace in Christ- Debbie |

54 | DID JUDAS EAT , DRINK THE LAST SUPPER | John 13:30 | glory777 | 47108 | ||
Searcher gave you a good lead to follow. As you read scripture, What really struck me, was that not only was he allowed to partake of the Passover with the Lord Jesus, but Jesus, knowing what he would do, also washed Judas' feet. What an example for us. Debbie |

55 | Are we expected to keep the sabath? | Bible general Archive 1 | glory777 | 43147 | ||
So you are saying that if someone does not keep the Sabbath they are to be put to death? Will they go to Hell, too? Sounds a little severe to me. debbie |

And fulfil it He did. And if you choose to follow Jewish tradition of having your day of rest on Saturday, so be it. But if you make it a demand that one day is the day you have to, you are throwing out the verse in Colossians about observing days, etc. How do you reconcile that verse with making Saturday or Sunday such a major issue? Or is that verse, built upon the freedom the Lord puchased for us through His blood, to be ignored? What was the purpose of giving us the Sabbath? For our benefit! God knew we needed one day in 7. Not that a particular named day was the only one to benefit us. Because we believe in Christ, we can have our day in 7 as the Lord's day - Sunday. For those who are of Jewish faith and do not believe in Christ - tradition and OT command is still binding as Saturday. I choose to honor my Savior by participating in group worship on the day He arose and the days He reappeared to His disciples and also sent the Holy Spirit. I don't think when I appear before Him, that He is going to condemn me for worshipping on ANY day! Praising God Always! Debbie |

That's right - Jesus did keep the Sabbath - as a perfect fulfilment of all the Law - so we don't have to. We are now under a higher law - to fulfil it in heart. We do not need to do all the things that the pre-Christ Jews had to do, He did it for us. Debbie |

58 | Lord of the Sabbath is he not | Bible general Archive 1 | glory777 | 43064 | ||
joe- Something mulling in my mind....Could it be that the first two commandments deal with our relationship with the Lord and the last 7 deal with relationship with others. But the one about the Sabbath was made for us - pre-Christ when sacrifices had to be made regularly? The ultimate sacrifice was made when Christ died, therefore, a specific day is not needed anymore. Only a time to meet regularly for mutual edification in the Lord. Paul says we are not to be observers of days and festivals. I think this is the only time a commandment was contradicted. Debbie |

59 | How is comunion only symbolic? | 1 Cor 11:29 | glory777 | 39164 | ||
bgg- But how can our motive be proper if when we come to the Lord's table in rememberence of what He did, partake with known and unresolved sin in our life,, knowing that He died for our sin? The very solemnity of the time could call to rememberence sin that needs to be resolved and how important it is to "be holy for I am holy". At one time I was about to take communion and, in thinking of how much the Lord had forgiven me through the act of His dying, was reminded of bitterness I was harboring toward a person. I think I would have become physically sick had I eaten the bread at that time. During the week I dealt with the situation and could come to the communion table with peace and true thanksgiving. I believe an examination of conscience has to be made before if for no other reason than to partake without it is saying that we have no need for forgiveness and makes Jesus' sacrifice for us less important. I don't know if I said it right, but I think too many times, it is partaken of, maybe in a solemn manner, but with no real feeling of thankfulness. Debbie |

60 | DOES GOD AGREE WITH CREMATION | Bible general Archive 1 | glory777 | 38282 | ||
No, I do think that Jesus body did have some of this world in it, as far as appearance and some functions go. Remember, He ate with the disciples after His ressurrection, He walked and talked and had a body that could be touched and I assume was warm to the touch. However, the molecular structure was changed because He could walk through doors and vanish and reappear where He wishes. I also know that we will see the bodies of those saints who have died before, join the Lord in the air when He calls, before we rise to meet Him. So, no matter what state our bodies are in at death, or if there is an intact body, it will rise when Jesus calls, whole but transformed. By your reasoning, those people who were burned at the stake, those who have been dismembered or consumed by animals or who have lost parts of their bodies will not have those parts or will not be able to join the Lord with a body. I say if He can make man out of dust, He can find those parts or put together the ashes to form a body, changed as He is. Personally, I don't care what happens to my body after I die. I just think cremation is easier and takes up less space and you don't have to put the burden on your children and grandchildren of going out to a grave site and crying over a stone and bringing back painful memories. You also don't put them through the day or days of sitting and looking at a dead body and going through hours of exhaustion. (My husband says we have a burning barrel in our back yard - that will be just fine with me!:) Deb |
