41 | Jesus has two nature but yet he is one. | John 4:24 | ItsMe | 163696 | ||
I got your note twice. I agree. I see nothing with this post that I don't agree with. I assume that He didn't leave behind his physical body until He went up into heaven after this? |

42 | Jesus has two nature but yet he is one. | John 4:24 | ItsMe | 163723 | ||
I understand the duplication. I did it on this site myself once. I'm still confused at the belief that there is a "human" being my present Saviour and God. I suppose it isn't a salvation issue, just one I can't see. |

43 | Jesus has two nature but yet he is one. | John 4:24 | ItsMe | 163745 | ||
I enjoyed the rambling. And the Col. 2:9 verse is good. I don't understand how the others relate. Doesn't it say in Exodus that Moses and a bunch of others, ok, I'm looking this one up... Exodus 24:9-10Then Moeses went up with Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel, and they saw the God of Israel; and under His feet there appeared to be a pavement of sapphire, as clear as the sky itself." I think there are other verses where humans saw God. I do wonder if we aren't experiencing a different belief here. I checked several translations of the Col. verse, with Strong's, and I basically get that in Jesus, the total of God lived in a human form. Also, after the cross, Jesus was flesh and bones, no blood. He gave up His blood at the cross for our sins. So, was He not, more than human at that point? In body, yes, but not the same as ours? His servant... |

45 | Speaking in Tongue | Acts 2:4 | ItsMe | 160758 | ||
I must have grown up in a church or environment that gave tongues a bad image. As an adult I met quite normal people who said they spoke in tongues. So, not to be prejudging I prayed that God would give me that gift if He wanted me to have it. I prayed about it a lot. I never felt that I spoke in a different language. I went on a mission trip to South America 2 years ago. In a large church we were asked if we would give a testimony and I was one ofthe volunteers. We had a wonderful Venezuelan man that traveled with us translating. He translated for the first 2 people that spoke. When I got to the front to speak, I found myself saying "me nobre is maria josefina"...and a lot more. The translator and I looked at each other and he started translating for my English speaking friends. I know that I told the people Jesus Christ was my best friend. I know I told them how lost I was before I met Him. How much God has blessed me. Only in Spanish. And I don't speak Spanish. My friends were amazed. A year later I told a pastor friend in my denomination and he said - God gave you the gift of tongues! He said that our denomination believed that speaking in tongues was when God gave you the gift to speak in another language to someone. I'm not defining it that narrowly though it was not a trivial experience. I was told by someone once that I was praying in another language. They didn't disturb me but that I was defintely not praying in English. So maybe there is a gift of praying just to Him in another special language. I do know I spoke fluent Spanish for quite awhile - and I don't know it still! | ||||||
46 | Speaking in Tongue | Acts 2:4 | ItsMe | 160938 | ||
I agree with translating. it's a difficult job and, as in many instances, God may initiate something and we let our human-ness take over. It's amazing that God gave a complete strange the wisdom and boldness to speak out. God is good! | ||||||
47 | Speaking in Tongue | Acts 2:4 | ItsMe | 160939 | ||
Sometimes when I pray I feel taken away from where I am - maybe on those occasions I do speak in tongues and maybe my mind is unfruitful - but I know my spirit is filled with joy. I'll admit sometimes when I pray I wonder how fruitful I am because "things" keep coming to mind and I wander. That is probably unfruitful - and yet, I feel God understands the situation. | ||||||
48 | Speaking in Tongue | Acts 2:4 | ItsMe | 160941 | ||
Thank you. I hear people argue the speaking by using one of the Bible comments about it - you know, like - there has to be an interpreter. I know in Venezuela God truly blessed me and amazed a lot of other people! Thanks for your comments. | ||||||
49 | Speaking in Tongue | Acts 2:4 | ItsMe | 160947 | ||
I was healed in this day and age. I had Lupus and I was becoming more and more crippled. I could give lots of details but that is not what this note is about. A woman I did not know asked me if she could pray for me. I thought of my mental list of people and situations that I was going to ask her to pray for and felt prompted to ask her to pray about my arthritic like pains. I was not about to tell a total stranger that I had the uncurable Lupus. She started praying and I found myself praying with her. Then I stood up, straight, and walked around. and praised God. Now, I too was not sure so I thought it was a temporary reprieve. Every morning for weeks I would wake expecting it to be another day when my legs did not want to work well or one of those days when they did not work at all, and each day I would get out of bed and say, thank You. Still thinking it was temporary. My doctor continued to run tests every 3 months for a couple of years, now she does them annually. She just chuckles with the results and tells me, no sign of Lupus and I say, I did not expect there would be. I am almost 60 and I have a little arthritis now. But I carry my 1 and 2 year old Grandchildren, often 2 at a time and I race with my older Grandsons, they beat me, and I climb trees. And praise God when I am up there. I think I am more active than most my age. I still work full time so I am not taking it easy. God healed me. I have no doubt. You do not know me so you do not have to believe it or understand it, but I believe in it now. Why me.. I do not know. I agree with you that many people will never speak in tongues and God can be just as close to them. It is a gift I did not want or expect and I received it. And many of my friends do not want it and that is OK. I may have received it because I doubted it so much. As you said, we are still members of a fellowship that goes beyond those things though. |

50 | is smoking a sin? | 1 Cor 6:12 | ItsMe | 161255 | ||
1 Corinthians 10:31 sums it up - "Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God." There are many verses about doing things that are harmful to our bodies (His temple). I can always go back to this one though - it's how I quit smoking. It wasn't hurting anybody but me - and then I realized - it did not glorify God, it took away from my witness. And bringing up the over eating issue - one wrong won't justify another. If I lie but I see my neighbor steal and I point that out - well, we are back to Matt 7:3 - Why do you see the splinter in your brothers eye but don't see the wooden beam in your own eye." If you have any concern over something you are doing - does it glorify God? Also, is the Holy Spirit trying to speak to you about the issue. I've found when I have asked - if it's wrong, let me know - I almost always feel His clarification quickly. Sometimes I almost hear Him say - "If you have to ask..." On the other hand, if you are asking about something being a sin, because someone else is doing it - remember the beam verse. Pray for them but don't point that finger. |

52 | Freedom | 1 Cor 6:12 | ItsMe | 161259 | ||
My Freedom comes in my total commitment to Him. Doesn't that sound strange? Being totally bound to Him, gives me freedom? John 8:32 - You shall know the Truth, and the Truth shall set you free. (I capitalized). The more I know Him and about Him, the freer I am. I think there is no freedom in this world aside from this. We are always bound by others requirements, expectations, rules, laws, etc. When people say I am free can can do what I want - they are not free. And they aren't doing what they want. I've been there. I was following the way the world wanted me to be. Like the song says - "This is what it means to be free, this is what if feels to know that I am forgiven." | ||||||
53 | is smoking a sin? | 1 Cor 6:12 | ItsMe | 161269 | ||
I had the original question up when I responded. I looked at the string, as I always do, afterwards, and saw it attached to yours. So I pulled up the original again, and sent it, and it attached correctly. | ||||||
54 | Need help with adultry and remarriage. | 1 Cor 7:11 | ItsMe | 161907 | ||
First, let me address the part "even if we ask for repentance..." - historically, and I think scripture backs it - divorce is the total disolving of the marriage. If one divorces on scriptural grounds, it is gone. You can remarry. Second, this does not give a free ride - but if you are a Christian, and your first marriage was before you were a Christian, you may not be bound by the same standards. We are held to higher standards than the world. I'm not really clear on what you are asking otherwise. Let me tell you this, if you are seeking His will, and are honest about it, He will show you what to do, in His timing. Also neither adultery nor divorce are unforgivable sins. Many people do it wrong. Marry wrong. Divorce wrong. Many people stay in marriages that they could get out of. Pray, read His word (it appears you are doing that), and honestly seek His will. Whatever you need revealed, will be revealed. | ||||||
55 | Need help with adultry and remarriage. | 1 Cor 7:11 | ItsMe | 161933 | ||
Many people use the bible to their advantage. My first thought is that this man took you and isn't really worried about living according to scripture. Hopefully he has been truly repentant. When you say you became involved, I take it you mean sexually. If you are a believer, and know what you did is wrong, you are on the road to healing. Pray, read the Word. Ask God for forgiveness and to reveal what He wants for you. God forgives adultery. If you believe it was wrong and you really want His forgiveness, He will give it. Don't worry about supporting this man in his belief. Stay away from him. Severe all ties. Let God wash that past away in His time. Seek Him with your whole heart. When you meet other men, they should meet all biblical standards before you consider them. And don't let them just say it. You need to see Christ in them. Ask for God's man. I thought I was very "in love" at one time. We often spent hours discussing the Bible, pouring over the Bible. I prayed often for God's will and God's man. Getting ready for church one Sunday I felt God tell me he wasn't it and I had to break it off. I argued with God for a long time that morning. I ended with - Your will, Father. Somehow managed to go to church, sit with this gentleman, and even have lunch with him. I didn't tell him my experience. I did make myself to busy for awhile and soon he moved on. I was lonely but knew it was God's will. I wasn't even sure that this man wouldn't come back into my life. A few years later, on my wedding day, I remembered that experience! And thanked God, for the man He brought me. In answer to your last question - yes, it matters that the man is truly living for God. Sexual sin happens even between Christians - so beware. If you can put God first, the rest will follow. God bless you! | ||||||
56 | God's Love | Eph 5:1 | ItsMe | 161262 | ||
If you pray, read His word, try to live like Christ, love starts coming quite naturally. I am surprised sometimes and how my feelings for certain people have changed - and I don't know when or why? I don't think we practice sacrificing for others. It just becomes a part of us. Someone told me once - remember JOY. Put Jesus (J) first, then others (O), and yourself (Y) last - and you will experience a joy you never thought possible. Pray each morning that God help you show His love that day. In no time at all you will realize He is answering that prayer. | ||||||
57 | Christ waslking through hell | 1 Pet 3:19 | ItsMe | 160695 | ||
Does anyone know where the Bible says Christ walked through hell and that he forgave some people there. Someone asked me recently where this was and I can't find it. I know in the Apostles Creed we say he died and arose on the 3rd day - what was he doing during that time? Can anybody help me with this? | ||||||
