41 | How be born of water and of the Spirit? | Bible general Archive 1 | glory777 | 15208 | ||
I don't believe the bible states when Lucifer was thrown out of Heaven. I think it is possible just shortly after God created the world (Gen 1:2)but this is just speculation. There has been a thread that deals with your second question. Believers can stop sinning. Granted, it takes time and a great commitment, and to say you will never sin is a lie, but you can sin less and less and days can go by without sinning, if you are walking in obedience to the Lord Jesus and depending on the Holy Spirit to guide you. It was not the blood and the sacrifices that God loved, but the way of the heart. If the sacrifices where out of love and obedience and with the faith in God, they were acceptable. But many had gotten into doing the sacrifices just to show they were good Jews all the while they were walking in disobedience and their hearts were far from God. Micah 6:6-8 shows what God desires. If the sacrifices were done out of love and a desire to be right with God they were accepted. But these were only a symbol of what was to come, the perfect sacrifice, the One sacrifice for all times, the Lord Jesus. The former was temporary, the Latter permanent. Praise to His Name. Debbie |

44 | Let unite in prayer believers in Christ! | Bible general Archive 1 | glory777 | 16089 | ||
Father God- I ask you to bring healing to the families and friends of those who have lost loved ones in this horrendous situation. Bring healing to our nation as a whole and help it to realize that we can do nothing without you. Father, let this tragedy not cause the people of this nation to overreact. Give us all the wisdom to know that it was a fanatical faction that caused this, and not all of mid-eastern descent or of a faith other than Christian were responsible. And Father, we come to your knowing that the time of Jesus' return draws ever nearer. Give us the boldness and the willingness to follow your leading in bringing people to You. As a country who has drawn away, we are in as much need of evangelism as any country in this world. Give us hearts for the lost. I pray this in the precious Name of Jesus. Debbie |

45 | Where was God? | Bible general Archive 1 | glory777 | 16589 | ||
prayon- I don't know if I can give a rational explaination even now, and I don't know if anyone can. I am still reeling over this, but how much more are the ones who don't have total faith in the Lord? I do know that God is soveriegn. Nothing happens on this earth that God does not allow and that won't eventually bring Him glory. I know that His ways are not our ways, His thoughts are high above. I know that so many things in the history of this world and in the history of individual lives ended up proving that. On a personal level, Job was devastated, and even the crucifiction of our Lord looked like a victory for Satan. But Job was blessed over and above all that he had originally and Christ was raised from the dead in the ultimate victory. I see everything in the last few years as being in God's plan. So many Christians were upset at Clinton's actions that in the last election there were more people praying than I had ever heard of or seen. Perhaps God put him in office for just that very reason - a choice had to be made - a godly man or a man who chose to follow his own desires. God knew what kind of a man was going to be needed for a time as we have just seen and are still seeing. In the immediate outcome of this tragedy, people of all denominations and faiths are on their knees crying out to God. I have never heard the media use the word "God" so much and so many people admitting that we need God's help. I am looking for a great working in the spiritual life of this country (and in fact the world - so many are crying to Him with us)and many people coming to the Lord because of this. Is spiritual revival worth it? Is living with God for eternity without pain, crying and no more death better than life here on earth (I am not advocating suicide or murder - when our lives here are over is in God's hand's, not ours)? We see things from our human view and in the now, we can't see the eternal view. What I do know, is that this act of war should be a wake up call for all Christians. I don't know if it will be the war that will usher in the antichrist or not, it is possible - that is in God's hands, but if ever a time was that we were called to show our true colors as Christians, now is the time. We were called to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We need to tell unbelievers, not just by our words but by our actions. People of other faiths (Islam included) need to know that Christ died for them, also. We need to show them the Jesus loves them, too, and let our love bring them to Christ. When people are scared, show them that those who are in Christ Jesus have His comfort, strengh and peace so they might wonder at the joy we have and come to know Him. We lost so many lives Tuesday, but the fields right now are whiter than they have ever been. We do not know what the Lord is planning, but we should always be looking up and know that He has a reason and that it will bring Him glory. God bless you - all who are grieving. But praise God, we do have hope! Debbie |

46 | Who was Mary Magdeline? | Bible general Archive 1 | glory777 | 17034 | ||
Freespirit- Other than the verse you have mentioned, check out Matthew 27:55-61; Luke 8:2-3; and John 20:1-18. I did not read anywhere about her going to live in the desert nor does the gospels mention any names of the devils. She didn't have any events in her life that gave her a bad reputation, but the story tellers in the present have. She is usually mentioned with older women so she must have been an older woman, also. She was a grateful follower of Jesus and nothing more than a good example for us to follow. Do not believe everything you hear, but search out in the scriptures the truth. Peace to you- Debbie |

sjbdjb- It doesn't seem fair, it doesn't seem right and it looked as if God were sitting on His hands and saying "go for it", but He wasn't. Yes, He is in control of all things, but He also said life was not going to be easy. He did tell us that He would never leave us, He would give us strength to go through (not avoid) all things. We look at this and see a terrible tragedy. God is hurting for us. Remember when Lazarus was dead, how Jesus wept? He saw how his sisters were hurting. But He also saw what would come of the situation. We don't know God's plan for all of this. There are things we will never know until we see Him face to face, but there are times we have to just believe and trust. Even in the most horrible situations, God is there for you. Cry out to Him your feelings. If you are mad at Him, tell Him. God can handle anger. But He will also heal your spirit if you trust in Him and, if you look and see in the future, you may get some understanding of why this occurred. God's peace to you. Debbie |

48 | so many different,which ones used mostly | Bible general Archive 1 | glory777 | 17539 | ||
lillie- I don't know which one is used the most often, but I have found it helpful in my growth to read a different version whenever I read through the bible. You'll find each version gives just a little different insight and can build upon what you already know. Blessings in your reading! Debbie |

49 | How do we know the Bible is the truth? | Bible general Archive 1 | glory777 | 18080 | ||
David- There are so many reasons to believe that the bible is true. Prophesy alone can prove the validity of it. Every single prophesy in the bible has proven true - even those written hundreds of years before the events- except for those relating to the end times and have yet to happen. Things that were related in the Old Testament, science and archeology is proving true (go to www.ICR.org to find out more). The New Testament is true relating to the life of Jesus. If it wasn't, there were enough witnesses at the time to refudiate all that His followers said and wrote about Him and the church would have died out. This Book has stood the test of time and witnesses. No other book has changed so many people's lives. No other book has been revered so much that people would be willing to die for the truths that it holds. It is true, my friend. Read and believe. Debbie |

50 | Possible Lockman Forum Improvement #1? | Bible general Archive 1 | glory777 | 18084 | ||
Dear Sir- I get frustrated with the duplicate posts, also, but there could be worse problems. If there was an economical way to eliminate them it would be wonderful. I think the idea of replying to questions that have been dealt with in the past by a referel (AND YES I WOULD LOVE TO SEE A SPELL CHECK!)to former threads is a good one, but having someone responsible to combine similar threads could cause problems.

51 | How do we know the Bible is the truth? | Bible general Archive 1 | glory777 | 18102 | ||
Steve- All of the above. And external sources are still proving the validity of it. But until one gives their heart to the Lord, it is just a book of facts and figures. After, it is life and your guide for living. I have heard of so many who have tried to prove it false and have ended up becoming Christians, as I am sure you have also, because it is truth. Debbie |

Joe- Another book that can be received free over the internet is "More Than a Carpenter" by Josh McDowell. I guess this is only available if you live in the U.S. He wasn't convinced and looked for evidence that scripture concerning Christ was either true or false. This is a small book but filled with so much information. I don't know the address off hand, but if you search over the net, you will find it. Debbie |

53 | Juice/wine poll results? | Bible general Archive 1 | glory777 | 18783 | ||
Jensen- Add one more to results. Our church uses juice. I believe it is forthe fact that we do not want to be an influencer of anyone who may have had a drinking problem. I know in the Catholic church that I used to attend they use wine, one chalis with a person holding the chalis wiping off the area where the last person drank. I agree, I don't think the form of the elements is that important, but the "Do this in memory of me" is what matters. Blessings- Debbie |

55 | On Harry Potter? | Bible general Archive 1 | glory777 | 21296 | ||
LizzieL- I have not read the books, but I know that witchcraft is alive and well in the world. I live in a small town in the MIdwestern U.S. and I know there are practicing covens near. If power is not coming from God, it is coming from another source and that is not from God. When we portray witches, warlocks, even devils as cute, innocent, playful or funny, we are taking away the reality and playing right into their hands. Be aware. May God grant you wisdom in this matter and open your husband's eyes to the truth. Debbie |

56 | Would Isaiah 53 help Jews and Muslims? | Bible general Archive 1 | glory777 | 22294 | ||
Welcome and blessings- When Christ was on earth in His physical body, the Jews were looking for a king - they chose to look only at the verses that showed Messiah as a conquering hero. They are still under oppression and the arrival of a Person bringing peace and justice to the world and recognizing them as His chosen people is what is more appealing than a suffering servant. Their eyes were blind then, pray that their eyes will be opened now. Peace in Jesus' name. Debbie |

59 | clear conscience equal innocents? | Bible general Archive 1 | glory777 | 31507 | ||
lumarkarn- I don't believe so. I don't have scripture to back this up, unless it would be about training up a child in the way he should go..., but if a child, from when he is young is never taught that it is wrong to take others things, he will think it is alright. And I can see it in my culture (American) that the name of the Lord is used in vain so often that people don't even know what it means. Moses was given the ten commandments as a guideline so what the Hebrew people saw as "normal" around them in Egypt, they knew was not "normal" in God's eyes. When you know what is right, your conscience will let you know, but even that can become hardened to where it doesn't affect one. That is why the Bible is so good to read on a daily basis. We need the reminder in front of us, and if we start to get off track, it is there in black and white. Debbie |

60 | how credible r we if theres no rapture | Bible general Archive 1 | glory777 | 34034 | ||
I agree with hecameforu. The main thing is to let people know about what Jesus did for us. I am not sure if I will be going through the tribulation or if Jesus will come for me before it starts - or mid point. Whatever. He WILL come and He is Lord of my life and I know the scriptures are 100 per cent accurate, even though our understanding of them may be incomplete, differ, or just plain faultily human! And I also think that is one reason that the tribulation matters should be told to others in that light - we don't know for sure but we DO know what ultimately will happen. We will live with Him forever. Blessings and peace- Debbie |
