Sorry, prayon- These over 35 eyes(and I won't say how much older!) just glanced at my bookshelf and counted - Iforgot my son had a duplicate copy of one of them! You are right. there are only 10 so far. Sorry- Deb |

Searcher- You are right. Being a horsewoman I should have known better. If they didn't have something more substantial they would have no skin on their legs (or other parts!)after riding camels, horses, and donkeys! Blessings- Deb |

43 | Is praying to created beings scriptural? | Bible general Archive 1 | glory777 | 62751 | ||
Emmaus- You could ask anyone to pray for you. However we were specificaly told to pray for each other. Old Uncle Bob, even if he is with the Lord, is not omnipresent, and if you think he can hear every prayer request you and every other person who may ask him to ask the Lord for a favor for you as his own personal request, you are giving him the power that only God has, and, specifically, the role that Jesus has with the Father. My mother passed away not too long ago. Do I believe she is "watching over me?" If she is, then the glory of the Lord must not be too impressive. Also the angels must not be doing their jobs. The angels have always been the ones to do the Lord's bidding, not those who have died. And they can't be in two places at one time, according to scripture. Can they hear more than one person praying at one time? How many churches are praying to Micahel? How many individuals? Which one is he standing by to hear it? Again, they are not God. To understand why it doesn't make sense to pray to anyone other than God, a good example would be if someone came to my husband and asked him if I had any thread that he could use. My husband wouldn't have a clue where it was and so would not have the power to get it for them. Now if that person came to me directly, I could get it for him, or give him a yes or no. What sense would it make not to go directly to the throne of grace and make our request known? We are to be bold, not go around every way, not trusting the Lord to know His own mind. I am sorry if I sound harsh. I just feel I was mislead for many years. Debbie |

If what you are proposing is true, then she is always here and can hear everything I say and do. Even if I do something that would make God displeased, she sees that. Would that not cause her pain? I thought scripture says there is no pain in Heaven? The only ones we know of that scripture tells us about, who died and who returned and we know thier reactions was Samuel (give me others, if I missed any)and he was not happy about it, nor did he show any concern about his relatives here on earth. I don't know how those in Heaven view us living, I think their joy is just to be in the glory of the Lord. When we join them, they will remember and recognize us, but anything we have done on this earth will be as nothing to them, the hurt we have gone through or have caused will not be known to them. The joy will be that there will be one more worshipping God truly in spirit and in truth. Anyway, all this is moot, seeing as scripture can tell us nothing concrete about this. I do resent the time that is spent praying to others when it could be time praying to God and being in His presence and developing a closer relationship with Him. Debbie |

46 | Where does this story come from? | Bible general Archive 1 | glory777 | 65065 | ||
This is an excellent book (written by Phillip Keller) but I do not recall anything about breaking a lamb's leg. However, I can see how that could be used in relating to what the Lord could do to us. If a shepherd has a lamb that is continually straying and other's are following it, in order to save it's life, a broken leg would limit it's mobility, even after it healed. Doesn't the Lord do that to us sometimes? If we are involved in hurtful practices or have other sins in our lives that He wants to remove from us in order to use us - this could be pride, lust, etc.- He could allow a very painful situation to arise that would remove us from this sin so that we could live and ultimatly reap the joys of being in closer fellowship with Him.

47 | HOW COULD JESUS BE A DESCENDANT OF DAVID | Bible general Archive 1 | glory777 | 71990 | ||
TWO virgin births? Scripture verse, please! Jesus does say He is God. John 8:58. Scripture does not say "I was" But Jesus called Himself by the name God identified Himself with when speaking to Moses. debbie |

Ok, Steve- Now that you have me thoroughly confused, when did Ahaz see that first "virgin birth"? I think I read there was some worship at that time of a "god" that was supposed to have been virgin born. Is that what you are referring to, or am I even more confused than I thought? Debbie |

49 | Finding 'Act as though you have faith' | Bible general Archive 1 | glory777 | 72399 | ||
Steve- As I have gone through and read this mess of a thread, i am reminded of Pharoah. No matter what proof he had laid on him, he refused to believe and his heart was hardened. I believe we are seeing a lot of this right here in the forum. In the last days people will turn away from the truth, scripture will be made out to be what they want it to be and, as we all can see, aften 1 is an example of this. I will not post further to someone who is not a true Christian and whose only desire is to lead others away from Jesus Christ - our Lord and God.The purpose of this forum is to help Christians understand scripture, not to twist it. Adding fuel to the fire is not helping. Aften 1 refuses to say what denomination, if any, he is affiliated with. If this is one of the teachings of it, it is not bible oriented and as such, he should not be here. Debbie |

Hi Fran- I don't believe the bible tells us the significance of there being 12 baskets left, but it has crossed my mind, too. When God chooses to bless, He can bless abundantly! Obvious proof to each of the disciples, and yet even with all that, one would choose not to follow. Peace in Christ- Debbie |

Fran- Sorry, my mind mind jumped ahead of my eyes - I hadn't really thought about it being for the tribes, but I had thought about it being proof to the 12 disciples. Now maybe my former note will make sense. Debbie |

52 | More about the 3rd commandment please? | Bible general Archive 1 | glory777 | 85545 | ||
Good answer, inmyheart! Others verses that do not tell specifically not to use the lord's name in vain are Romans 13:14 and 1Cor. 6:17. If we put on Christ, we will talk as He talked - or do our best. and if our bodies of temples of the Holy Spirit, what comes out of our mouths should not be demeaning to the name of the Lord. I had a problem with this at one time, commonly heard sayings, like "Oh my God", that was not meant as a prayer and pieces and changes in the Lords name, like "Geez" and "Gosh". It did take time in the Word, repentence - lots -, help from the Holy Spirit and time. Old habits can be hard to break. Peace- Debbie |

Thanks Nolan. I have seen that bible. I think it might be worthwhile purchasing it. I also found a web site that has some (over 300). http://www.messiahrevealed.org/ Do you think these might help Isa? Deb |

54 | Revelation in the Gospels? | NT general Archive 1 | glory777 | 9701 | ||
Jim- First, about the facts of the gospels. There were other sources at the time that Jesus could have related His experiences to, such as his mother. And you are right, He did have time after His ressurection to relate other information. But scripture says the Word is God-breathed and inspired by the HOly Spirit (2 Tim. 3:16) and the gospels are scripture. How can you explain the fall of Lucifer? No one was there to witness it. It was given by inspiration. If these words and/or visions were given to the prophets, were they more believable than Matthew, Mark, and the others? As to creation being in the number of days that were written in scripture, I find this a lot more easier to believe than what science is trying to get us to believe. But if you question, looking to find scripture as allegorical, what parts are you going to say are just stories and not fact? Instead of trying to fit the Word to what science says happened, go the opposite way and see if science can fit God's Word. Archaelogists are finding more and more facts proving the OT stories true that they said couldn't happen. How long until they realize the "big bang" was actually a "spoken Word"? I find the temptation of Eve fascinating in this regard. She had the Word of God right with her, but she listened to the other who said He couldn't mean what He said. God bless Debbie |

55 | Multiple authors for Paul's epistles? | NT general Archive 1 | glory777 | 9818 | ||
Both of those just attribute the letter as being written by Paul. For 1 Thes.1:1 "Paul shared authorship of 1 and 2 Thess. with Silvanus and Timothy. Timothy a young Jewish understudy of Paul, also joined with Paul in the writing of 2 Cor., Pil., Col., and Philem. Silvanus, known as Silas in Acts, was a leader in the church in Jerusalem (Acts 15:22) and a prophet (Acts 15:32). Later Silvanus shared in the writing of 1 Pet. (5:12). He was therefore an associate both of Peter and Paul. I never really thought about it before, but I also think that the letters were kind of a joint effort, or at least read by the others mentioned who may have also had inspiration from God and were included. I've seen it happen in church where one will prophesy and another will add to it. Hope it helped. Deb |

56 | Revelation in the Gospels? | NT general Archive 1 | glory777 | 9847 | ||
Jim- Just one last note from me. I know that at some time I will be in front of the One who wrote the book. In giving an account of myself I would rather He knew that I believed His Word and erred because I wanted to believe in Him literally and trust every Word He said than to look and believe what every one else thought He said. The basic fact is that Jesus said the only way you can come to the Father is through Him. If I believed the parables were literal (even though Jesus and the people knew they were parables) I would be trusting in the Word in a more childlike way than those who over analyze it and take it apart to fit every other theory and scientific explanation given, or throw parts out altogether or rationalize it as nothing more than fiction because it doesn't fit what we understand. Keep searching, but more importantly, keep reading that Bible! May God open your eyes and the Holy Spirit give you understanding, for we all need more of that. Debbie |

57 | Unbelieving or lukewarm? | NT general Archive 1 | glory777 | 14681 | ||
ren333 I am not so sure about your reference to Rev. 3:16. I think that a person can be born again but after that first love they go into neutral and just kind of sit and mold. There is still some life, but you realy have to search to find it. I think that kind of attitude makes the Lord nauseous, and although they are still His child, He is frustrated and upset by them. This is just my opinion, but it does spur me on when I think that my complacency just might cause my God to have that feeling toward me. Passion in Christ- Debbie |

58 | Is this the 'Complete Christian'? | NT general Archive 1 | glory777 | 24490 | ||
Lisa- How do you know that Mary knew before hand that Jesus was going to die before He was conceived? Even the educated Jewish rabbis didn't realize it and sure didn't teach it! The apostles who listened to all that He had to teach didn't even realize what He meant until after the fact. I think if right teaching was applied here, knowing that the veil was torn in the body of Jesus, allowing us intimate access to the Father at any time, without the need of a priest or mediator, the felt need for praying through or to Mary would be eliminated. I agree, she was a model for anyone. It must have been especially painful for her, knowing that her son, whom she loved as much as any mother could love her son, had to die to save her. I think it was also to be noted that she was in the upper room when the Holy Spirit descended like tongues of fire and landed over ALL the occupants of the room. I love her more because she was just like us, only more of what I would hope to be. God's blessings. Debbie |

59 | Is this the 'Complete Christian'? | NT general Archive 1 | glory777 | 24567 | ||
Lisa- I don't think she did know or understand until it actually happened. When the magi brought the gifts, she pondered it in her heart. I think she tried to raise Him just as any other Jewish boy. I believe she tried to protect Him as she would a boy who would be a king but yet tried to let Him live a life like the other boys. Note her letting HIm be away from her in the caravan. I think she also was amazed at His brilliance with the teacher in the synagogue at 12. But it is supposition that He told her of His death before hand unless it was in the same way He told the apostles. And she may not have even took it in as reality. He couldn't die - He was Messiah - although that was probably secondary to the fact that He was her little boy. She and her other children even tried to get him out of the house He was teaching at because they didn't understand the power He had as being God. Remember, Mary was a peasant girl and probably didn't have a lot of access to the scrolls. I don't believe women in those days even had an education - only very rudimentary. So she could only know what the cheif priests told her and knew how to love God. And that love was enough. |

casiv- You answer it was the mark of the beast. Show me scriptural evidence it is so. I do not find it anywhere in scripture. Unless it is, do not come to conclusions. It will only mislead those who seriously wish to know. Debbie |
