45 | Divorced Do Christians Get Remarried? | 1 Cor 6:9 | lookinforacity | 205319 | ||
Hi John: This is the reason I ask. Romans 7:2 For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband. Romans 7:3 So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man. God Bless Jim |

46 | Divorced Do Christians Get Remarried? | 1 Cor 6:9 | lookinforacity | 205330 | ||
Hi Tamara: The answer to your question is, NO. Christians should not get remarried after a divorce. If you can find the words of the marriage ceremony. I have to qualify the answer though, because there are two types of marriage, that take place. 1) In a Church sanctioned by a Religion. That falls into the category of, in the sight of GOD. The person taking the Vows, fully understands, what they mean, in the eyes of the Religion. 2) In a Court, that is sanctioned by the State. In this type of marriage, GOD still sees, and holds us to the Vows taken, because marriage is HIS institution. But in a Civil Ceremony, they do not use the Line, In the sight of God. This was just for the purpose of distinction. We as the participants in a Marriage, are still held to the Vows. I think you will find in the Vows , the line, (Forsaking All Others), God does not like for us to get divorced, But he allows it, because of the Hardness of OUR hearts, as with the Jews. We are still held to the Vow (Forsaking All Others). as long as you do not remarry, for the rest of your life, it is ok, (not right) but ok. But the moment you do remarry, the VOW is then broken, and you are then held responsible. You at that moment, are an Adulterer. 31) It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement: 32) But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery. 33) Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths: 34) But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne: 35) Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King. 36) Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black. 37) But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil. It is better not to marry, but if you must, you will be held to the Vows you make. God does not take Vows lightly. God Bless Jim |

47 | The Hat situation? | 1 Cor 11:16 | lookinforacity | 204223 | ||
Hi Tamara: When I was a kid, the Catholic Church, had a rule about women wearing hats in Church, Im not sure, but I think they were the only church of the time that did. Although in those days hats were in, so maby women were wearing hats to other Churches, for that reason. Maby the closest you will be able to get to the answer you are looking for, is what the Catholic Church has put out concerning the issue of women wearing hats in the Church. They have changed their doctrin, and I would bet that there will be a pretty extensive decision on the matter. To go with the area of hats, I remember a time when the proper atire for women was a dress, then pants suits came out, the Churches didn't want to allow the wearing of pants suits in the Church either, but they lost the battle on that one , because of the women pushing the issue, by constantly wearing the pants suits to Church, the Churches gave in to the popular opinion, pants suits were then allowed. Well now, the pants suits have gone the way of the Dinosaur, and women are wearing whatever they want. When the pants suits went out of VOGUE, the Church didnt step up and say were going back to the wearing of dresses for women. Is it a sign of the times, or a shift in the Moral values of our society, people that go to Church, bringing into the Church, the morals of the society, The Church has the right, as the moral compass for not only the Church, but also socitey, to not let things like this change, if they have been doctrin, then why the change? But does the Church have the power? Sorry Tamara, Just wanted you to see, things have changed alot in just my life time, for who knows what reason, again my advice, is to look for some kind of decision the Catholich Church has made, I'm sure they will have it documented more than anyone else, because it was a 20th centry issue. I didnt post this the other day because I thought you wanted things only out of the Bible, or some ones oppinion from long long ago, this isnt very religious, just practical. Hope that it helps you |

Hi Doc: In the answer I gave to Librarian, I listed Luke:10. When Jesus sent out the 70. I intentionally left out the referance to Mtt.10, because of the admonition to the disciples to not go to the Gentiles, but only to the lost sheep of Israel. How are we to minister to the world, unless we have been endued with the same power they were. If we believe we have received the Holy Spirit, at Baptism, then we HAVE BEEN endued with power as they were. We as believers,have been told by Jesus, to do as we have seen him do, and far greater. How can that be accomplished, unless we have that POWER residing in Eartehin Vessles. Paul lists for us the gifts of the Spirit. 1Cor.12 All of those gifts listed, are for the Body of Christ, are we at that point to believe that Jesus, and God himself, didnt intend for us to take that power to the lost of the world. 1Cor.2:4-5 Paul didnt preach to them in the wisdom of Men, but in the power, and demonstration of the Spirit, so that there faith wouldnt be in the wisdom of men but in the POWER of GOD. 1Cor.4:20 For the Kingdom of God is not in word, but in POWER. |

Hi Doc: You're right, I missed it, I looked for it in the Gateway Bible, and it didnt come up. Sorry for the inconvenience. One last thing, did you ever answer the question put forth by Librarian? We apparently have a differance of opinion, dont you think Librarian should hear both sides of the issue. All you would have to do is post your belief, rather than having a debate with me on theological beliefs. Then let the person who asked the question, decide which answer they wanted to accept. |

Hi again Doc: Sorry about whatever misunderstandings I may have had about this Forum. I have taken the time to go back to your first note to me, (Because it is all about seeking the truth.) Maby this will make my position a little more clear, please understand that these beliefs are soly my own, this is MY opinion on what the scripture says, and the way I interpret them. How are we to minister to those in the world, if we cannot use any of the gifts of the spirit? As Jesus is our example, he used those gifts? Or are we to assume, Jesus was the Christ, and therefore Diety, and being part of the Godhead, was not an example to us at all, on the grounds that he was God Incarnate, thus it was His Holy Spirit. So he could not be an example to us, on how to perform in the gifts of the spirit. Although it could be argued, that Jesus was in all aspects, a man (human) with all the weaknesses, and frailties as we are. On those grounds, plus the fact, he had the Holy Spirit Come down upon him like a dove,during Baptism, can we assume he was also baptised in the Holy Spirit? The same way we receive. John 1:29 The next day he *saw Jesus coming to him and *said, "Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! John 1:30 "This is He on behalf of whom I said, 'After me comes a Man who has a higher rank than I, for He existed before me.' John 1:31 "I did not recognize Him, but so that He might be manifested to Israel, I came baptizing in water." John 1:32 John testified saying, "I have seen the Spirit descending as a dove out of heaven, and He remained upon Him. John 1:33 "I did not recognize Him, but He who sent me to baptize in water said to me, 'He upon whom you see the Spirit descending and remaining upon Him, this is the One who baptizes in the Holy Spirit.' John 1:34 "I myself have seen, and have testified that this is the Son of God." As another example there is Paul, he ministered to the people, using the Gifts of the Spirit He was fully Man, a Jew of Jews, of the tribe of Benjimen, a persicuter of the faith, but we see that God, used him in a mighty way. God not being a respector of persons, filled him with HIS Holy Spirit. Acts 19:11 God was performing extraordinary miracles by the hands of Paul, Acts 19:12 so that handkerchiefs or aprons were even carried from his body to the sick, and the diseases left them and the evil spirits went out. |

Hi Doc: I give up, Your right we are to only minister to the world in our own power. Talk them into salvation, by cunning craftyness. Then not worry if they ever get baptised or not , because the gifts of the Spirit, arent in functin today, they were as we all know dispensational, and the dispensation has been over for some 1900 yrs. Sorry for apperantly waisting everyones time. This is my last post on this subject. GOD BLESS |

53 | what about doing the work Jesus did ? | 1 Cor 12:28 | lookinforacity | 205539 | ||
Hi John: Just a thought. 13) Ye know how through infirmity of the flesh I preached the gospel unto you at the first. You use this verse to say Paul was sick,it says infirmity, then we go to verse 14, where he makes a statement to them about how they didn't despise him or reject him. If he was sick as you suppose, then why would they,despise him, reject him. Unless it was the Plague.Can you explain verse 14.If not , then you cannot make that kind of an assumption as to his being sick. 14) And my temptation which was in my flesh ye despised not, nor rejected; but received me as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus. Exodus 4:10 And Moses said unto the LORD, O my LORD, I am not eloquent, neither heretofore, nor since thou hast spoken unto thy servant: but I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue. I can make an assumption and say I believe Paul had a Stutter, as it is also believed Moses had, I would rather believe they were both slow of speech.It makes more sense when we read about the despising, and rejecting. Perhaps your right, and he was leprous, then all would be explained. But alas it only says Infirmity. Ps. I know you will ask so, where Paul tells Timothy, to drink a little wine,Timothy could have been having stomach trouble from eating the foods in that area, ie. heartburn. There isnt any need for that to be prayed for. Is there? Have a GOD BLESSED DAY Jim |

Hi Val: Soul Sleep, who cares what happens in the Grave, to the Body of the Flesh. It will be raised with an incorruptible body, It is irrelevant, what happens, after death. You can call it sleep if you want, that will give you a good understanding of the whole process. When you die, TIME STOPS. Exactly the same as when you sleep at night, you might sleep for 1, 5, or 10 hrs. you are unaware of the passage of time, to your mind it was a second, almost instantaneous. The same in death, 1, 10, 10,000 yrs. a second, almost instantaneous. Knowing this, and understanding it, does it really matter what happens, during the time your flesh, is in the grave ? The reason there isn't any definitive answer on this question, is because it is irrelevant to your Salvation. Belief in Soul Sleep, doesn't add, or subtract, from what YOU did in your flesh, while you were ALIVE. So I say believe, don't believe. 6 of 1 -- 1/2 of another. 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:) 8We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. 15:52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. Ps. to stop any misunderstandings, I only posted this to you because your post is the most recient on the subject, it isnt personal,towards you. In Christ Jim |

Hi Steven: It is not obvious to me, that you don't belong here ! Mark 13:11 But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost. Your words Wed 07/9/08, 12:09pm Hello Steve, Jesus fell short of the measure of the orthodoxy of his day. God will be my judge on what I did with the understanding he gave to me. I will work out my own salvation with trembling and fear Phil:2:12 Jesus said they (scribes and Pharisees the orthodox religious leaders) prosecuted him and they would persecute his followers. I will count it all joy when I am ridiculed for my beliefs. My understanding may fall short of the orthodox measure and that does not bother me. I do not fear what men can do to me. I have not come to the understanding I have of Gods word overnight his spirit has been leading me for many years. God calls and his spirit leads us. When someone asks me about my faith I try my best to give them an answer of the hope that lies within me. My intentions are never to convince anyone to believe as I do. My postings are not to prove I'm right and your wrong they are only to state my understanding of Gods word. If they edify anyone I am thankful for that. My name is Steven :) peace ps: I work 3rd shift and must go to sleep now. I can only talk out of my own experience, with you. Your words, have been seasoned with salt, they have ministered grace to the hearer. your 2 postings to me were well received, thank you for them. How do you know that your not supposed to be here. How do you know, what you have felt hasn't been an attack of the Enemy. Ephesians 2:19-22 19) Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints, and of the household of God; 20) And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone; 21) In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord: 22) In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit. SOOOOO I guess to sum it up, WERE ALL here for a reason, wether we agree or not! Have a GOD BLESSED DAY Jim |

Hi Jeff: Just for clarification Purposes. You said Quote. "The babe grows into a child by the milk and then must consume the protein of the meat to grow into maturity. Otherwise there will be a failure to thrive leading to a premature death. We build on a foundation (milk) and finish the house (meat)." "Today, you can not see the foundation that has been covered by the blowing sands. Had they been in possession of, or known where to access the needed money (meat) the structure would have been finished and serving it's purpose today (assumable)." Clarification Point? Are you saying , if a person doesn't eat meat, the you will Spiritually Die, (ie) Lose their Salvation ? God Bless Jim |

Hi Val: Just a short note, on your statement. quote: "I however, agree with their research that we all come from one man Adam who had the DNA for all the features we see in humankind." Everyone born from ADAM died in the Flood. Doesn't it make more sense that NOAH had all the DNA, because we are all descendents of him. Or were Noah, and his sons, all the different races, before the flood ? My personal belief, I have posted before, is this. Everything changed when the language was confounded in Babylon. ( Post Flood ). To me it makes most sense, because that's when a CHANGE took place that ( WAS DOCUMENTED ). Any other Theory, is all 100 percent conjecture. That's it, Have a GOD BLESSED DAY Jim |

Hi John: Point ????? If you are referring to Adam having the DNA, the way the statement was fraised, it sounded to me as though it was saying, He had it (( ONLY )) and his kids were different Races. If everyone reads it that way then forgive me. Just makes more sense at Babylon. GOD BLESS Jim |

60 | 3 brothers descendants changed | Col 1:16 | lookinforacity | 205943 | ||
John: Going with that reasoning then, (WE) should be able to have different raced children of our own today. RIGHT? It only stands to reason, we all did come from Adam So at what point in human history did, or would it have stopped? The point being, if you make up a Theory, that Adam had all the DNA. Then you would have to make up another Theory, to cover that stoppage Then the question might arise. How does that missing ability in us today make us different than Adam? What I'm getting at is, once you make up a Theory out of absolutely nothing, then you have to keep on doing it, to cover any contingency's that may arise. The Theory I put forth, makes a statement about an event that has been documented, in the History of the world, (as far a Christians are concerned), giving it more validity, than any other, it also stops there. It doesn't lend itself to future events, that may have to be addressed, which would call for an amendment to original Theory. Jim |
