41 | how do you grieve the holyspirit | Eph 4:30 | childoftheking | 37519 | ||
Greetings ssv.1 Grieve comes from the Greek word "lupeo" which means: to distress; reflexively or passively, to be sad:--cause grief, grieve, be in heaviness, (be) sorrow(-ful), be (make) sorry. If we read all around that verse, (start around verse 14 and read through to the end of the chapter)such as in the context of, we see that it refers to believers, who grieve the Spirit by inconsistencies as in corrupt or worthless conversation, 31)“Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:” The Holy Spirit does not teach that and does not want to hear it or see it. "we must not do that which is contrary to his holy nature and his will; we must not refuse to hearken to his counsels, nor rebel against his government, which things would provoke him to act towards us as men are wont to do towards those with whom they are displeased and grieved," MH Love in Christ bgg |

42 | Am I lost for eternity because of sin | 1 John 1:9 | childoftheking | 37447 | ||
Greetings Andrew jr., You wrote: "A word of advise; if you don't want to get wet then please don't walk on the bank of the river because it is very slippery and you can easily fall in." Not to be negative here sir but this kind of advice really doesn't do anyone any good. When one is in deep turmoil for what one has done, as it seems that Godchild is, then a "cliche" is not what the doctor ordered. When people sought out Jesus and were repentant for what they did, Jesus did not chastise them, but forgave them their sins. We all slip up. As Christians, Love and prayer would seem to be the way. God Bless bgg |

43 | Am I lost for eternity because of sin | 1 John 1:9 | childoftheking | 37445 | ||
Dear Godchild, Sin has no place in anyone's life We all sin, but the thing is to not live in sin, to not go back and renew that sin in your life. Having said that, God will most certainly forgive you. "And my desire is to be pleasing in God's sight". This is a good thing to say and to know about yourself because it's really sinning against God when we do sin with the flesh because our bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit. 1John 2:1 My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous;" Hebrews 7:25 Therefore He is able also to save forever those who draw near to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them. We all fall but see what God says here: Psalm 37:24 "Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth [him with] his hand." Philippians 1:6 "For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus". According to Romans 8:35-39 "Neither tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing will separate us from the Love of God which is in Christ Jesus". The only thing is, has Jesus begun a work in you? Have you accepted Jesus as your Lord and personal Saviour? This is one question you must answer before any other. God also gives us a way out of temptation. 1 Corinthians 10:13 "No temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man; and God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, so that you will be able to endure it." In 2 Peter 2:9 "then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from temptation, and to keep the unrighteous under punishment for the day of judgment," Ask God to forgive you, break off entirely what you've been doing, confess your sin to your husband and walk in the Lord's presence. Finally, when you ask God to forgive you, trust him that he has forgiven you and don't beat yourself up about it. God does not want us dwelling on past sins. I can't remember where in the Bible that verse is but it's in there. I leave you with the Grace and Love of Jesus: John 8:7 "But when they persisted in asking Him, He straightened up, and said to them, "He who is without sin among you, let him be the first to throw a stone at her." 8 Again He stooped down and wrote on the ground. 9 When they heard it, they began to go out one by one, beginning with the older ones, and He was left alone, and the woman, where she was, in the center of the court. 10 Straightening up, Jesus said to her, "Woman, where are they? Did no one condemn you?" 11 She said, "No one, Lord." And Jesus said, "I do not condemn you, either. Go. From now on sin no more."] God Bless you bgg |

44 | did you find it brother? | Bible general Archive 1 | childoftheking | 36973 | ||
armgrunt, You said "I have a definintion of god by scrpture......I AM theTRUE SPIRIT of LOVE" I asked you where the verse is that says it and you say to look it up. Ok then, let's search. :-) We know that God is a Spirit: which you gave also. John 4:24 says "God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth" We know that God is Love: 1 John 4:8 "He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love" We know that God said "I AM" Exodus 13:4 "And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you." God is a God "OF" Truth: Deut 32:4, Psa 31:5 The Spirit is Truth: 1 John 5:6 "This is he that came by water and blood, [even] Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth." Jesus is the truth: John 14:6 "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." God's Word is truth: John 17:17 "Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth." God is a Spirit, God is Love, The Spirit is Truth, Jesus is Truth, Jesus is God, God's Word is truth, Jesus is the Word, but I'm not so sure about "I AM the TRUE SPIRIT of LOVE." It sounds nice, it may even be so. I just like to see it written in the Word. With Love, bgg |

47 | are there husband, wife responsibilities | Matthew | childoftheking | 36944 | ||
Hi Wakiio, The Bible has all the answers of how we're to live while on this earth. First and foremost, we are to submit ourselves to the Lord. Proverbs 31:10 "An excellent wife, who can find? For her worth is far above jewels" Proverbs 12:4 "A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband: but she that maketh ashamed is as rottenness in his bones." 1 Peter 3 1) IN LIKE manner, you married women, be submissive to your own husbands [subordinate yourselves as being secondary to and dependent on them, and adapt yourselves to them], so that even if any do not obey the Word [of God], they may be won over not by discussion but by the [godly] lives of their wives, 2) When they observe the pure and modest way in which you conduct yourselves, together with your reverence [for your husband; you are to feel for him all that reverence includes: to respect, defer to, revere him--to honor, esteem, appreciate, prize, and, in the human sense, to adore him, that is, to admire, praise, be devoted to, deeply love, and enjoy your husband]. 3) Let not yours be the [merely] external adorning with [elaborate] interweaving and knotting of the hair, the wearing of jewelry, or changes of clothes; 4) But let it be the inward adorning and beauty of the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible and unfading charm of a gentle and peaceful spirit, which [is not anxious or wrought up, but] is very precious in the sight of God. 5) For it was thus that the pious women of old who hoped in God were [accustomed] to beautify themselves and were submissive to their husbands [adapting themselves to them as themselves secondary and dependent upon them]. 6) It was thus that Sarah obeyed Abraham [following his guidance and acknowledging his headship over her by] calling him lord (master, leader, authority). And you are now her true daughters if you do right and let nothing terrify you [not giving way to hysterical fears or letting anxieties unnerve you]. 7) In the same way you married men should live considerately with [your wives], with an intelligent recognition [of the marriage relation], honoring the woman as [physically] the weaker, but [realizing that you] are joint heirs of the grace (God's unmerited favor) of life, in order that your prayers may not be hindered and cut off. [Otherwise you cannot pray effectively.] Amplified version Read 1 Corinthians Chapter 7, Chapter 11: 1-16 Ephesians 5 Colossians 3 starting in verse 18 Porverbs 31 starting in verse 10 Love in Christ bgg |

48 | Raven and John Reformed, Baptism? | Bible general Archive 1 | childoftheking | 36886 | ||
Greetings Raven, Praise God!! Thank you for your well thought our response that you sent me earlier. I'm responding to this instead of the one you sent me becuase it seems it was your latest post. I am not, in my stance, denying the importance of Baptism, just that to me, it does not appear to be a prerequisite for the Salvation of one’s soul. He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned" Raven, you said: “It is true that baptism without belief will not save. For why would a person be baptized if they believe not. Mark 16:16 says that he that does not believe will be condemned. It is not necessary to say "and not be baptized”” If Baptism is sorely needed for Salvation, then why not say “and not be baptized” ? You’re saying that Baptism is needed for the Salvation of one’s soul: For this logic the passage should read: "He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who believes and is not baptized will be condemned" Of course it doesn’t say that because the one ingredient for Salvation comes after the “but” which is “believe”. Compare this simplistic analogy. "He who has a license and a car can drive, but he who has no license cannot." So, no matter what you do, you need a License to drive. However, you can still drive without owning a car but it’s illegal to drive any car without a license. Ephesians 2:8 “For by Grace are ye saved, through Faith….” Romans 10:9 “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved” KJV Romans 10:13 “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” Why no mention of Baptism in any of those verses? You also mentioned Lydia, which is in Acts 16: “Another conversion was Lydia. The bible says, "The Lord opened her heart to heed the things spoken by Paul. 15And when she and her household were baptized” The word "baptized" ("ebaptisqh" from the Textus Receptus Greek Text) here is the same word that is used in Luke 11:38 for “washed” which says: “And when the Pharisee saw [it], he marvelled that he had not first washed before dinner.” The NASB has it as “ceremonially washed”. This is also the same word that is used for when Paul(Saul) was Baptized in Acts 9:18, the same word as in Acts 16:33 "And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed [their] stripes; and was "baptized", he and all his, straightway.", and also the same as when Jesus himself was Baptized in Mark 1:9. The Greek word Baptized means: baptizo bap-tid'-zo from a derivative of baptw - bapto to immerse, submerge; to make whelmed (i.e. fully wet); used only (in the New Testament) of ceremonial ablution, especially (technically) of the ordinance of Christian baptism:--Baptist, baptize, wash. You also said: “Now I might ask you the same question. Did Jesus make an inaccurate statement? Why did He say be baptized if it wasn't needed?” As I put in my last post, what of this woman that Jesus said that her faith had saved her but didn’t mention anything of Baptism? Luke 7:48 “Then He said to her, "Your sins have been forgiven." Verse 50 “And He said to the woman, "Your faith has saved you; go in peace." Thanks for sharing your views Love in Christ bgg |

49 | how do i pray and leave it with the lord | John 15:5 | childoftheking | 36710 | ||
Hi MRkormmann, Sure this is a bible question. First off, as the above verse says, we can't do anything apart from Christ and that includes quitting smoking. Deliverance of anything from the enemy is well within your grasp. Do not give in to the enemy. Stay in prayer. James 4:7 "Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you." James 4:10 "Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up" There's always a way out for us and it's a promise from God. 1 Corinthians 10:13 "No temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man; and God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, so that you will be able to endure it" I will certainly stand with you in prayer to rebuke the enemy and that the desire for smoking be gone in the name of JESUS!! Matthew 18:19 Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven" John 14:13-14 "And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14) If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it. I can go into more detail here but if you like, you can e-mail me and we'll correspond that way. Just click "childoftheking" and look at my profile. Love in Christ bgg |

50 | Why read the Bible? | 2 Tim 3:16 | childoftheking | 36708 | ||
Hello Meredith and welcome to the forum, Why read the Bible? Because it's the word of God. We are commanded by God to live by every word. Here are some verses that may help you. Romans 15:4 "For whatever was written in earlier times was written for our instruction, so that through perseverance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope." The word is our Food. We need it to grow stronger in our Faith, to grow stronger in our walk. Matthew 4:4 "But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God" The word is our Offense and our Defense against he enemy. Proverbs 30:5 "Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him." Ephesians 6:17 "And take THE HELMET OF SALVATION, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God." We're Blessed: Luke 11:28 "But He said, "On the contrary, blessed are those who hear the word of God and observe it" And lastly, The Word is alive: Hebrews 4:12 "For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart." Hope this helps you some. God Bless bgg |

51 | Raven and John Reformed, Baptism? | Bible general Archive 1 | childoftheking | 36692 | ||
Greetings all, It’s funny how things change after so many posts. The question had to do with if speaking in tongues were needed for Salvation, which we all agree the answer is an emphatic NO. If I may add to this discussion on Baptism: Mark 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized--Baptism is here put for the external signature of the inner faith of the heart, just as "confessing with the mouth" is in Rom 10:10 ; “For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation” and there also as here this outward manifestation, once mentioned as the proper fruit of faith, is not repeated in what follows in Romans 10:11 “For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.” JFB We hold that persons are not saved by baptism, for we think, first of all that it seems out of character with the spiritual religion which Christ came to teach, that he should make salvation depend upon mere ceremony” Charles Spurgeon Baptism is important but has nothing to do with the saving of your soul but is a testimony of ones faith. Acts 8:12 “But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women” Notice here that they “believed” first in the name of Jesus Christ. Ephesians 2:5 “Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)” Ephesians 2:8 “For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God;” To the woman who washed anointed and kissed Jesus’ feet, Jesus said to her Luke 7:48 “And he said unto her, ‘Thy sins are forgiven’” Luke 7:50 “And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.” Jesus did not command her to go and get baptized to finish her Salvation. Acts 16:31 “They said, Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household." John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.” John 6:40 "For this is the will of My Father, that everyone who beholds the Son and believes in Him will have eternal life, and I Myself will raise him up on the last day." Romans 10:9 “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved” KJV Romans 10:13 “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” John 11: 25-26 Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me will live even if he dies, and everyone who lives and believes in Me will never die. Do you believe this?" John 3:18 "He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God John 3:14-15 “And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.” John 20:31 “but these have been written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing you may have life in His name. I noticed just before posting this Tim had posted with some of the same verses that I have here but I left them anyway :-) Love in Christ bgg |

55 | So what was the 2nd vision??? | Bible general Archive 1 | childoftheking | 36408 | ||
Hi Leftwich, If you are using that verse (Matthew 6:3) in regards to whether or not to share this vision of yours, then I think you're slightly off. Notice in the verses below that Jesus is talking about giving to the poor, but I think we can apply what He said to any works that we do. If we do something nice for someone, then don't let others know so as to get a pat on the back for it or our reward will be paid in full right then and there and we'll get no reward from the father when we get to heaven. Matthew 6:1-4 "So when you give to the poor, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, so that they may be honored by men. Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full. "But when you give to the poor, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving will be in secret; and your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you." I have been guilty of this at times myself but it is best not to take a verse our of context for use any way we want it. If I'm way off base as to your usage of this verse then I apologize but this is how it seems to me. God Bless bgg |

57 | DOES GOD AGREE WITH CREMATION | Bible general Archive 1 | childoftheking | 36251 | ||
Hi Johnny, The burning you speak of in Leviticus 20:14 is from the Hebrew word saraph, which means to burn, to set on fire. Were they burnt to death? Most likely, but as punishment. This however can not be a guideline as to what to do with our bodies. We can take a look at 2Chron. 16:14 which says, “And they buried him in his own sepulchres, which he had made for himself in the city of David, and laid him in the bed which was filled with sweet odours and divers kinds [of spices] prepared by the apothecaries' art: and they made a very great burning for him.” The burning there is “srephah” ser-ay-faw which means cremation, a burning (thoroughly) They made a great burning: “according to some, for consuming the spices. According to others, it was a magnificent pile for the cremation of the corpse--a usage which was at that time, and long after, prevalent among the Hebrews, and the omission of which in the case of royal personages was reckoned a great indignity” JFB Jeremiah 34:4-5 "Yet hear the word of the LORD, O Zedekiah king of Judah! Thus says the LORD concerning you, 'You will not die by the sword 'You will die in peace; and as spices were burned for your fathers, the former kings who were before you, so they will burn spices for you; and they will lament for you, "Alas, lord!"' For I have spoken the word," declares the LORD. The word “burned” is “misraphah” mis’raw’faw’ which means combustion, i.e. cremation (of a corpse). Strongs Hebrew Concordance So they did cremate at times, with spices yes, but it seems the bodies were burned as well and yes God burned people as well for various reasons. Peace and Joy in Jesus bgg |

58 | Did God elect me? Or did I elect Him? | John 6:37 | childoftheking | 36128 | ||
Greetings Chynna, There's nothing wrong and certainly nothing to be ashamed of in sharing your testimony. It may be that someone else has gone through, or is going through what you did and be helped by what you've shared. There are many who are or have been disobedient or resistant to what the Lord wants us to do and I myself have been this way in times past and it's hard for the Lord to work with us when we don't do what he wants. It's kind of like this, If the Lord gives us step 1, as in he wants us to do something, then we'll never get to step # 2 if we don't complete step 1, and this is what I think he meant by losing you. I personally don't believe that Baptism is a prerequisite of Salvation, but of obedience after we're saved, which seems to be your case. You can do a search concerning baptism also. I believe that God has a hand in all Salvations as far as drawing them. John 6:44 "No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up on the last day." John 12:32 "And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me." It may also be that after reading the throng of posts on the subject of election that your curiosity will still not be satisfied and if that's the case then I suggest you ask another question. God Bless bgg |

60 | In the book of Exodus what form did the | Exodus | childoftheking | 36063 | ||
Hi Moriah, Exodus 12:23 speaks of the "destroyer". "For the LORD will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when He sees the blood on the lintel and on the two doorposts, the LORD will pass over the door and will not allow the destroyer to come in to your houses to smite you." In Numbers 33:4 It says that the Lord struck down the firstborn but I think this means that it was the Lord that "ordered" it and an angel did the destroying. Referring back to the plagues on Egypt, in the NASB, Psalms 78:49 says that they were "a band of destroying angels" while the KJV calls them “Evil angels”. Other passages mentioning a destroying angel are in 1Chron 21:12,15 but I’m sure there are more. I don't know the "form" of the destroyer. I presume whatever form an angel is. Hebrews 11:28 in the New Living Translation speaks of the "angel of death". "It was by faith that Moses commanded the people of Israel to keep the Passover and to sprinkle blood on the doorposts so that the angel of death would not kill their firstborn sons." This is the only translation that uses "angel of death". God Bless!! bgg |
