42 | association between demons and vomiting | Mark 5:1 | bronx hulk | 92718 | ||
Hello hphillip, I can't tell you of a scripture where people vomited when a demon was cast out (not to say there aren't any, but I have never seen one). I can list scriptures where demons were cast out and people didn't vomit. Mark 5:1-15 Matt 9:33 Matt 17:18 Luke 11:14 Acts 16:16-18 Those are just a few. According to those scriptures I would believe that vomiting isn't necessarily a sign that has to happen once a demon is cast out. But it doesn't mean that it wouldn't ever happen. Sal |

43 | Why are Jesus stories told differently? | John 14:26 | bronx hulk | 92804 | ||
Hello Confused Catholic. Let me first tell you that I was raised catholic most of my life before I gave my life to Christ. We probably have alot in common. As for your question: John 14:26 says, "But the COMFORTER, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you." This says that the disciples would remember things according to the way the Holy Spirit revealed it to them. Do you know how two people could see the same thing but discribe it differently? That's all that's happening in the gospels. If you read the stories, you will notice that not one UNDERSTANDING is contradicted. Only certain words are used differently and maybe the story is described a little more in detail in the different gospels. But the understanding is the important thing and that is not comprimised in any of the stories. God bless, Sal |

44 | How is unity possible in diversity? | John 17:11 | bronx hulk | 92315 | ||
Hello Joyce, My personal view on this is that if others want to view us as close minded, that's their problem. Our faith must testify that there is no other way to the Father but by Jesus. If we compromise that, we would be lying to anyone we speak to. The unity that we need to have is revealed in Phil 2:2 "Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one ACCORD, of one mind". Meaning that we need to work together so that there are no divisions in understanding within the church. Now granted. This day and age there are so many denominations of Christianity, never mind other religions, it is confusing. How can we be on one accord given this situation? The baptists do not believe in speaking in tongues. Other churches use tongues as their sole doctrine. Some believe that once you give your life to Christ, you are automatically going to heaven. Others believe you must earn eternal life through works. Who is right? My honest belief is that if you are using the Holy Spirit to interperet Gods Word and you are humble to receive what is written, we all should be on one accord. Since God is not the author of confusion (1 corin 14:33). However that is not so, which tells me that we have allowed our pride and other various things distort our understandings of Gods holy Word. So how can we deal with this? In reading John 3:1-8, it tells us that we must be BORN AGAIN to enter the kingdom of heaven. It doesn't say to be baptist, charismatic, pentecostal, etc. It says BORN AGAIN. To me, that means that you must change your life to become that new creature with your HEART sold out to serving God. So what I do is I try to look into the heart of the individual. Is their heart one that loves God and believes that Jesus is His son and died for our sins? Are they trying with all their spirit to serve the Lord? If the answer to both of those questions is yes, then I will receive them as my brother or sister and let God make the judgement on their soul's place in eternity. We need to use WISDOM in dealing with each others differences. Without wisdom, we will not be able to look past things that do not matter. As far as other people belonging to other religions are concerned, my view is this: Jesus said in John 6:44 "No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me DRAW him: and I will raise him up at the last day." So if God is not drawing or calling someone, you cannot witness to them. Also in John 10, it talks about how Christ's sheep know His voice. If someone is being called of God and they are one of His, then when they hear the Word of God, they will recognize it as truth and follow it without question. If they are not one of God's sheep, we can preach the Word to them all day and it won't do any good. Remember that there were people who did not receive Jesus' words as truth. Now if there were people that Jesus Himself couldn't reach, what makes us think that everyone we talk to should believe our words as truth? Fact is, not everyone is called of God. And that's the bottom line. Hope that clears stuff up. Let me know. Yours in Christ, Sal |

Wow, Sounds like you have a real situation on your hand. The best advice I can give you is this: Get to know God as best as you can. Through Him, you will gain wisdom to handle your situation. If you can become the best Christian you can, your husband might see the change in you and follow suit. There is no guarantees to this. Read 1 corin 7. Pay particular attention to verses 13-15. I suggest you get counseling from your pastor on the correct way to handle this. It will take much time and patience. In the meantime, do not try to convince your husband with words. Let your life do the talking. If you need someone to talk to, I will be available. You can email me @ salvatore.capaccio@aviano.af.mil I will pray for you. Your brother, Sal |

46 | Who did God punish for using a psychic? | Acts 16:16 | bronx hulk | 91977 | ||
Greetings Jana. I'm not sure if God has specifically punished anyone for using a psychic, however we understand that someone with psychic powers gets them from a demonic spirit. If you read Acts 16:16-end. It talks about the Apostle Paul when he cast a demon out of a girl who was using psychic abilities to make money for her masters. Now it also states in 1 Sam 28 how Saul used a mediam to contact Samuel. At this time Saul was already being punished by God so it doesn't state that God punished him for that reason. Throughout the Word it mentions how God is not pleased with sorcery and things like that. Depending on which bible translation you are using, you could look up the words, sorcery, soothsayer, sorcerer in a bible concordance and find many scriptures about this topic. Those words are definately used in the King James Bible. I'm not sure which other names that psychics would go by in the other bible translations. The bottom line is that psychics get their powers from Satan, so a child of God should not be using psychics to get information. They should be using the Spirit of God and His prophets to get any answers they are looking for. Would you trust your enemy to give you a truthful answer? Some scriptures I found you might want to look at are: Acts 13:6 Rev 21:8 -good one Acts 8:9-24 Micah 5:12 is another good one There are many more, I hope this helps. Sal |

47 | How does any Homosexual believe they are | Rom 1:19 | bronx hulk | 91346 | ||
Here in Romans 1:19-24 it talks about people who know the truth of God but refused to acknowledge it. Then God gave them over to their uncleanness. I will answer your question with a question. How does the fornicator, the murderer, the adulterer, the thief justify their actions to say they are living by God's will? The world will use any excuse they can to say they live by God's will, but deep down, they know they aren't. It doesn't matter what part of the law you're transgressing. So the homosexual will wind up in hell the same way the sweet little old lady will wind up in hell because she never gave her life to Christ (James 2:10,11). Whatever excuse people want to use is their downfall. Homosexuality is a grave sin, but is it any different than the man and woman who live together outside of marriage? The world accepts their sin over homosexuality because it is normal. But normal or not, it is still sin and is outside of God's will. So the world (homosexual, fornicator, murderer, etc.) believes they are living by the standards of God because they have had their heart hardened because of their unwillingness to admit their sins. Once God hardens your heart, you aren't going to see anything. Remember that God's word is spiritually discerned. Unless God reveals it to you, you can see all the scriptures in the world, but you won't understand it. So showing a homosexual a scripture will do you no good unless God is revealing His word to them. |

48 | Wo hardend Pharoh's Heart | Rom 9:1 | bronx hulk | 91994 | ||
Hi Teresa, This is one of those tough to accept topics. When we really sit down and know what God does, it seems almost unfair. However, we need to understand that God is God and can do what He wills. I'm not saying that you don't have that opinion. But many people try to question what God does. 1 Corin 2:16. "But who hath known the mind of the LORD that he may instruct Him?" Romans 9 talks about how God deals with people as He wishes. Pharoh is specifically mentioned in verses 17 and 18. So my view according to what is written here is that God hardened Pharos heart so God could glorify Himself. It's a really scary thought when you think about it. God could have made me to be Pharoh, but He chose me to serve Him. I am truly blessed because of that! Sal |

49 | Wo hardend Pharoh's Heart | Rom 9:1 | bronx hulk | 92070 | ||
Amen, Sorry I left that out. I don't usually do stuff like that. We have the mind of Christ now so that we can understand things with a spiritual mind. Notice I didn't say we couldn't understand God, but I said we shouldn't question what He does. We can get understandings on most things, but some things we will not. Like it says in 1 corin 13:12, for now we see through a glass darkly, but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. Before, under the law, they were just following the law without understanding. Now we can understand. The point I was trying to make is that we still cannot Instruct the Lord. Or question His motives. Did I clear that up a little? Thanks for pointing that out to me. The last thing I would ever want to do is mislead someone, even if it is by accident. If you still don't understand where I'm coming from, let me know and I will try to explain it better. God Bless, Sal |

52 | Denominations is shameful? | 1 Cor 3:4 | bronx hulk | 92403 | ||
Joyce, I am deeply saddened by your situation in reading all of the correspondance. However, I am joyful that you are still standing for God. Do not let go of your faith for any reason or anyone. Eternal life is more important than this one. May I humbly question that there might be a deeper issue separating you and your husband than religion? Were there problems before your conversion? If someone truly loves someone, they should be willing to go through anything with them. It sounds like your husband is looking for an excuse to be angry with you. I could be 100 percent wrong here, but that's what it sounds like to me. Please tell me if I am out of line and getting too much into your personal business. I truly care and wish to help in any way I can. Your attempt to rectify the situation shows me of your maturity and wisdom. It sounds like you are doing everything right. But like it says in 1Corin7:15 "But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace." Your brother in Christ, Sal |

53 | Was Paul single or married? | 1 Cor 7:8 | bronx hulk | 91527 | ||
I've got a historical question that I'd like to throw out there. It is understood in scripture that Paul was not married. As he said in 1 Corin 7:7 he would that all men would be as he was. Being single is implied here. Now, Paul as we know was Saul of Tarsus who was a Pharisee. My understanding of the Pharisees is that in order to be a Pharisee, you must be married. So either I'm wrong in assuming that Paul was a Pharisee, wrong in assuming that you must be married to be a Pharisee or I'm misreading the scripture. Does anyone know where I could find an answer? |
||||||
54 | Was Paul single or married? | 1 Cor 7:8 | bronx hulk | 91678 | ||
Well, Paul was suggesting that it is better to remain single so you can tend to God's business. He said he was speaking by permission and not by commandment so he wasn't going against God. The whole chapter talks about that saying if you can, it's better to remain single, but if you can't then it's better to get married. For it is better to marry than to burn. Sal |
||||||
55 | Was Paul single or married? | 1 Cor 7:8 | bronx hulk | 91974 | ||
Thanks, Being a widower would make the most sense of the whole thing. I understand how God views marriage. If you can remain single and avoid fornication and lust, then do so, but if not, then it is better to be married. It is a very simple understanding. It seems that my original question went off on a tangent. But you answered it here. Thanks, Sal |
||||||
56 | To Marry or Burn?? | 1 Cor 7:8 | bronx hulk | 91975 | ||
A living hemorrhoid! Ha, that's a great way of putting it. The others answered your question perfectly. The only thing I would add is that, yes God instituted marriage, but He never COMMANDED anyone to be married. The only arrainged marriage in the Word is Adam and Eve. Everyone else made a choice to be married and to who. Being married IS a good thing, so is being single. Let every man make his decision according to the gift he has been given. It has been a pleasure being able to fellowship with you like this. You seem to be a very humble individual and thirsty for the knowledge of the true Word. Thank you for corresponding with me brother, Yours in Christ, Sal AKA Bronx Hulk |

Curtman, Thank you so much for your willingness to serve!! It really is a blessing to know that a complete stranger is willing to do stuff for me. Burning bush gave me a website to go to.
