Hello Hank I was really floored to hear that news also today. These are certainly the signs of the times no doubt. But your are correct we have a collective voice. We can not stand by and deem what is clearly wrong as right. The decision is abominable to say the least. The kingdom suffereth violence and the voilent take it by force. Hank God Bless you as you are ever vigilant! -Kathy |

42 | Kathy, Is "Lifting His name" Biblical? | John 12:32 | khuck | 104108 | ||
Searcher, Again I can only apologize for the confusion and chaos that the particular post served up. My point would have been better made, using the 2nd Chapter of Acts "all of it." But I did not write the article (which is no excuse since I posted an excerpt from it), my true objective was to simply highlight within it why I worshipped on sunday and not saturday. (Although we do have a intercessory prayer service on Saturdays). Our congregation does have what we call weekend services though, since many have to work on sundays or have other obligations. Let us magnify the Lord together! To you in the Love of Christ, -Kathy |

I am sorry Scribe, but I have been rivoted to this 3 part post. It would be great to post it as a new thread. I think it deserves another look. It is great to have read your testimony of salvation within this post also. I await your further thoughts on this subject patiently. God Bless and ever keep you, -Kathy |

Greetings Fran: I did not overlook your post! I count it as much wisdom. Thank you! I hope that you accept my posting it in it's full entirety, because reading it has moved me in a powerful way. 2 Peter 1:3-11 His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature and escape the corruption in the world caused by evil desires. For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love. For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. But if anyone does not have them, he is nearsighted and blind, and has forgotten that he has been cleansed from his past sins. Therefore, my brothers, be all the more eager to make your calling and election sure. For if you do these things, you will never fall, and you will receive a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Thank you for the Loving reminder of who we are and what we have! -Kathy |

Hiya Steve:) I don't believe you... you just have not gotten your second wind. (giggle) I was just trying to help! (snicker) Well I am going to read some "Huck" Finn! (I just love Hank, he has a wonderful way of making you glad to be a part of the "Family") Love and Blessing to you in Christ, -Kathy |

No Searcher, I do not use sources, extra-Biblical sources without checking to see if what they say is Biblically sound? Such behavior would be wreckless and callous on my part. That is why I take such offense at such a notion. (I have no idea where you ever came to such an assumption) I usually start by pondering the question posed, then (if no scripture is used) I will first search the scripture, to see what the word says on the topic, and test it against my own beliefs. Sometimes the Word will prove my understanding to be totally erroneous, and other times, confirmed. If the query, is in opposition to my understanding, I will not only re-read,and reconsider the scripture, and those that are comparably linked and possibly referenced, I will oftentimes check the history to ascertain what may have been happening at that time concerning the verse. I will reference study material (including the expounders commentaries) to increase my understanding. If the poser of the question persistenly insist that my understanding is in fact flawed, that is when I research the linking scriptures further as well as pull out most of my resources, not so much to prove that I am in fact correct, but to be assured that I am really understanding what is being said. And more often than not, I pray for God's guidance in how to approach the subject at hand. I am not a traditionalist or a very religious person by most standards. Yet I do not discount some of the value in these modes of Christianity. I can only assure you that I love the word and the scriptures to me is a greatest story of Love. As I said before I have not come to discount your view, but only to add mine to the conversation. To you in His Love, -Kathy |

The thing that is being missed is that when that song is being sung... the word lift means to exalt... and even the weakest of men can exalt the Name of the One Who has lifted him from the pits of hell. I love you Lord and I worship you Oh my soul rejoice, Take joy my King In every word your hear Let it be a sweet sweet sound to your ear! "I exalt thee" "I exalt thee" Take joy my King In every word your hear Let it be a sweet sweet sound to your ear! |

48 | Can you define Charismatic | Eph 4:14 | khuck | 104064 | ||
Hi EdB when I was first saved I believe the church that I belonged to was of the Holiness movement. I found that I could not live Holy without God's Grace. Yet we were told that indeed a man could live a sin-free life. I wore no jewelry except a lone watch, no make up, my skirts dragged the ground, my shirts covered all skin except my hands. No matter what I did I failed miserably to be Holy. It was all outward appearance. As I grew I began to pray about it. As I read and understood and came to realize that it was a noble and ideal dream, that I could not accomplish, but God is able to accomplish it. Due to your definitions I would say that my beliefs are still more in line with the Pentecostal, having seen the Gifts of the Spirit at work in the Church. Thank you so much for the further insight. -kathy |

Searcher, Even you use resources to assist you in your study of scripture. Even you seek greek translations to understand the meanings and context of what was said. And again for you to contend that because I use the same such resources from time to time means that I trust the resource and not the Word, only substantiates my contention that you do not know anything about me, you are not out to prove the word, you are out to prove someone to be wrong and YOU right. (how sad) Maybe you should go back and research your post to me specifically, on more than one occassion you have indeed deemed me against Christ and in subtle terms a false prophet. Which is a blatant abuse of your position, because if you say it, there are those who believe it. Your last sentence shows your intent: "There have been views I have changed, after a careful study of Scripture." Searcher I believe that prayer and the power of God's Spirit changes things. (we are just different and there is nothing wrong with that, let it be) I do not think that anyone studied the scripture in the thread any harder than I did. I searchered every version of scripture and also as you can see in my post the language context. And yes I did read commentary, and study notes. (that is pretty thorough) They served to bolster my own understanding and original belief. Even you said that I should consult an expert in Judiasm (a Rabbi). Truly God Gifted the experts, such as Matthew Henry, Coffman, Darby ...etc. And though I do not always see, their viewpoints, I respect and understand that God has given them a gift, Wisdom. Yet my modus operandi is to lean to God for understanding, not just in studying the Word, but in prayer... which to me is the pivital part of understanding. (having a little talk with God) I am not here to correct anyone's thinking, or to compel anyone to do as I say or do. That is the work of the Spirit. I can only state my belief and understanding. Some of my opinions have been expanded, and I have been enlightened and blessed with a higher understanding by the posts of many others on the forum, who are blessed with Wisdom and the gift of Teaching. You may feel that I have misused the scriptures on various occassions and that is truly your right. Yet I feel you misuse your seniority on this forum, by accusing me continuously of actions and intentions that are bold lies. And to what end, what purpose? You have not changed my views and that is not your job, one can only post his understanding of the scripture, and hopefully site comparable scriptures and the expert resources to show why they understand as they do. And if love and wisdom is imparted someone may be enlightened. If it is rejected, why have a hissy. To consistently try to compel someone to think as you'd like, is not the purpose of this forum. There is freedom in Christ, He never used the bully-pulpit. Now to Him that is able to keep us, let everything be to His glory. Peace to you, Kathy |

Searcher, This post my seem harsh to you, but I must be frank and candid at this time. You give me few other choices. Your knowledge of the Bible is commendable on an academic level, but it is those who post with wisdom and Christian attributes that I respect most. So I'll pass; you go and question the Rabbi and garner more information on the letter of the word. I am sure that my Pastor is well versed in Jewish traditions and beliefs, if I have a need to know about Good Thursday. You have a lot of brash audacity where I am concerned. You label me anti-christ, you tell me that you are attempting to correct my thinking, and now you give me directives. Well my Dad is Paul Dunn. He has never used the name Searcher. You fail miserably at trying to prove to the Brothers and Sisters that I am on the wrong side of the cross, give it up cause you can never win. I can do all things through Christ Who strengthens me, and that includes tolerating your consistent put downs. You only do it because you are established on this forum by your longevity. You take great pride in perceiving yourself to be right in all things Biblical. I take pride in Christ and His abilty to save. Because you have a long history with this forum you have a following of those that will back you even when you are openly vicious, but not everyone is cowardly enough to call that which is wrong, right. About 6 or 7 post ago, I asked you with much love and patience for us to disagree agreeably and let peace be the acceptable truth of the day. I asked you to let there be peace between us. But you have persisted, all day. This shows me a lot about your character. Once I almost left this forum, just to avoid your incessant snubbings. You accuse me of being unhappy with your responses, it seems to me that you are the one who is unhappy with me, because I do not amen to everything that you post. And I am bold enough to post what I truly believe and you can not compell me to do otherwise. What scripture do you believe I should study? Is there going to be another deiviously mean spirited quiz? You ask me,"Kathy, What about Good Thursday?" As you are well aware most of us here are Christians, since we are not Jews we acknowledge Good Friday. Besides that you never acknowledged that my answer even though not the one you sought, was still indeed correct. Your question had nothing to do whatsoever with anything in the thread. Are you testing my knowledge? Are you hoping to beat me down before the brethren? You are not making me look bad at all. You are exposing something about yourself, with this constant thing you have with my posting here. Why do you harass me so much? Why do you always insinuate that I do not study scripture. Is it because there are I times when I reference commentary, articles and other resources such as translations. You know no truth about me and you desire not to, you are trying to prove your own unfounded assumptions. More often than not I reference the word of God. You may not like what I believe to be true and you may really believe me to be an anti-christ. I have put out the olive branch several times to you, and I have asked you more than a few times to let God's peace abide between us. Yet no matter what tactic you use I have the fortitude and courage to remain, until they kick me out. I hope whatever it is that you are looking for, be made clear. God is able to make you see what you refuse to see. Even I wish you no ill will and I know that God will bring all of this together for a good purpose on both our behalfs, because he loves us. Even a wretched sinner like me. -Kathy NOTE: Let me apologize to this forum for posting such a firm and candidly analytical response. Please have the benevolence and forbearance, to forgive me, I appeal to you sincerely. |

51 | THE MOST POWERFUL VERSE IN EVANGELISM | John 12:32 | khuck | 104005 | ||
Dear Noble, From all of my research it says that both meanings apply, and you are right he was degraded. but through that very degrading experience he was exalted. I too understand that you see the all of the word pertaining to this verse and I promise you I do too. Once again I agree that he not only foretells that he'd be lifted, but also how he would die. Yet using the greek translations that I came across, I see also another profound meaning. And maybe that is just me Noble. You know I mean no harm or insult, but I trust that I am not wrong on this, nor do I feel your undertanding is erroneous. So please my dearest friend, forgive me if I am choosing to walk a bit further down the path. I love you as always in Christ, -Kathy |

Dear Hank :) What are you doing reading my mind? That was my next question, which you have answered sufficiently. Where or how did this practice originate? You are on top of your game! (smile) I thank you for the further insight. I know I maybe a nuisance with this one... but the whole thing really shook me up. I felt more like I had suffered a certain form of violence at this man's hands. Next time I visit congregation (with family member or Christian friend), and there is an alter call for prayer, you better believe I will wait in the background to see what is happening. (grin) God Bless you Hank! -Kathy |

Hi Radioman :) I did not mean to imply that is was an isolated Pentecostal practice. (just info gleaned from previous posts) But is it something that crosses denominational lines? Inquiring minds... (smile) -Kathy |

55 | Slain or knocked down | Eph 4:14 | khuck | 103988 | ||
Sorry Brad, I did not mean to imply that your references on this matter were false. I agree with all of your assertions and also the search where you directed me, yielded much. After reading the notes I understand why this man would literally shove me with so much force to the floor. (it was certainly a deceitful thing to do) The one post that stood out was that this is a pentecostal practice, and that is the denomination of my family member's church. I really appreciate your assistance, thank you! -Kathy |

56 | Slain or knocked down | Eph 4:14 | khuck | 103985 | ||
Hi Bradk It is ironic that you used: "As a result, we are no longer to be children, tossed here and there by waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, by craftiness in deceitful scheming;" That is one of the themes that came out in this man's sermon. I did not question my relative on the incident. Although I am to understand that I was supposedly slained in Spirit. I wanted to jump up with indignation and scream to this Pastor, "Hey why did you push me down!" I was not slained in anything, I was knocked down on my taukus. And though that particular congregation considered it a charismatic move of the Spirit. I was pretty embarassed and had to be covered by a woman with a drape, my dress flew up. Can I ask you how common is this practice? (if you might know) And thank you for the response, I am still a bit weirded out by it. Trust, I will check references that you have provided. God Bless you, -Kathy |

57 | Do you recall the day of your Salvation | John 12:32 | khuck | 103979 | ||
Dearest Tim, Thank you for indulging me on this. My soul just cries out with joy when I hear about the day when one first believed. It is good to remember the day we first fell in Love with Him. Each of these testimonies have brought a song to my heart. This is yours: I don't feel no ways tired I have come to far from where I started from. Nobody told me. that the road would be easy, But I don't believe He brought me this far ... to just leave me! I pray God's continued Blessing for your ministry, your family and your Life in Christ, I am blessed because of your testimony -Kathy |

58 | Would a gentle spirit work? | John 12:32 | khuck | 103977 | ||
My Pastor calls it self-righteousness when we beat the weak down with the word because we feel we are more saved and more knowledgeable. That we are viewed by them as above them in Christ by our behavior. Therefore we beat them down and do not lift them up. Therefore they feel that they are not worthy to be a member of our little "Christ Clique", that is reserved for just us righteous few. He calls it, "Just us four and NO MORE" syndrome. (Laughing) Noble you make an excellent point here. God Bless you, -Kathy |

Dearest Tim, You are truly easy to love! And you make a great point here. That would be an awesome resource. Between you, Hank and Makarios, I have been really looking into greek translations. It is very complex yet enlightening. I enjoy your responses ... they do make one ponder the Word. I had hoped you'd respond to post ID# 103826 (Hint! Hint!) grin God's Blessing be upon you always, -Kathy |
