41 | If a person hurts you and ask forgivenes | Bible general Archive 4 | lookinforacity | 205271 | ||
Hi Katielee: 44) But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; At this point is he telling us, to keep putting ourselves into the position, to be Despitefully used again? Does he require that of us? If we stay in a relationship where a person, keeps slapping our face, THEN we are obligated to forgive. If you have forgiven, and I have to believe you have, then Matt. 18 doesn't apply. Romans 12:17-21 May clear it up for you. 17) Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men. 18) If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men. 19) Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. 20)Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. 21) Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good. GOD BLESS Jim |

42 | Need Clarification on Asking/Receiving | James 1:6 | lookinforacity | 205268 | ||
Hi Student: Hope this clears things up for you. As you can see, in this case, the question of receiving from the Lord, ONLY refers to ONE thing. That is (WISDOM.) These Verses, are specific unto the context, used in these verses. You cannot apply them to any other verse, where we are told how to pray for things, in our lives. ie. healing, jobs, money etc. James 1:5 5) If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. The Verses 3 - 9, in PROV. all refer to the verses you are asking about. Ask in faith, not doubting. Do not be like the waves. We should not doubt, what he has told us to ask for, HE has laid it up for US. He HAS told us to ask, Do Not DOUBT God at His WORD. He will perform, that which he has promised. Prov. 2:1-12 1) My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee; 2) So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding; *3) Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding; *4) If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures; *5) Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God. *6) For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding. *7) He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly. *8) He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his saints. *9) Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; yea, every good path. 10) When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul; 11) Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee: 12) To deliver thee from the way of the evil man, from the man that speaketh froward things; The only problem that I saw, was that you were applying these verses, to the other verses, on praying, and receiving from the Lord. At that point they are confusing. Just remember, when you do not understand what your reading, go back, as many times as it takes, like it says in Prov. 2 :3,4 asking for guidance, all you were missing, in order for you to be able to understand was, verse (5) having that NOW, does it make sense to you? GOD BLESS Jim |

43 | Just out of curiosity. | Phil 1:23 | lookinforacity | 205259 | ||
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 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 |

46 | Help! Unclean vs clean meat? | Acts | lookinforacity | 205103 | ||
Hi Steven: Isaiah 66:15-17 As I understand the verse in point, the meat was not clean. The fury of the Lord, was poured out upon them, because the swine's flesh, the abomination, and the mouse were in sacrifice to Idols, BY JEWS. In Christ Jim |

47 | Just out of curiosity. | Phil 1:23 | lookinforacity | 205070 | ||
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 |

48 | Methodist position on the Revelation? | Rev 1:1 | lookinforacity | 205043 | ||
Hi Thomas: This might answer it for you, a book to be found, and a quote. Unmasking Methodist Theology: A Way Forward - Google Books Resultby Clive Marsh, Brian Beck, Angela Shier-Jones ... - 2004 - Religion - 248 pages "Given this position statement we can expect Methodism's official understanding of 'revelation' to be located in orthodox Protestantism."

50 | Creed for Believers | Rev 21:3 | lookinforacity | 205041 | ||
Forum: Is this Creed something that all of us can agree upon? I have taken the liberty to clean it up a bit, by removing any offensive remarks, as to belief in a certain Church. Although the line in question, could also mean, the Body of Christ. All believers around the world, UNITED through the bond of PEACE, in LOVE, by the HOLY GHOST. (1) I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of Heaven and Earth. (2) And in Jesus Christ, His only Begotten Son, our Lord, and Savior (3) Who was conceived of the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary (4) Suffered under Pontius Pilate, was Crucified, Died, and was Buried; (5) He Descended into Hell; the Third Day He Arose again from the Dead; (6) He Ascended into Heaven, and Sitteth at the Right Hand of God, the Father Almighty (7) From Thence He shall Come, to Judge the Living, and the Dead. (8) I believe in the Holy Ghost, (9) The Body of Christ, As the Church, The Communion of Saints,The Unity of the Spirit (10) The Forgiveness of Sins (11) The Resurrection of the Body (12)And Life Everlasting.

53 | An interesting discussion/question | Romans | lookinforacity | 205009 | ||
Hi John: This is the question, incase you missed it. There have been only 2 answers given to it. Tamara's, and mine. You apparently think what Tamara posted was correct. While I on the other hand cant understand how this answer, answers the question posted by (ChildofGod) Please explain it to me. During the discussion, he asked me a question about those who have never heard the Gospel. I remember that during my personal study, I read about Gods will and plan for those people (who i suppose could also include young children and those unborn). Could anyone please help me locate this passage? Have a God Blessed Day Jim |

54 | Purpose of the parables? | Matt 13:1 | lookinforacity | 204999 | ||
Hi Tamara: To answer your question, the parables are only about ONE thing. The Kingdom Jesus was preaching the GOSPEL of the KINGDOM ! From the time of his showing to Israel, to his crucifixion.All of the prophesy's were about the (Messiah, and his Kingdom.) He was going about setting it up, Establishing it, in the hearts of men. That is why the Disciples asked him. Acts 1:6 When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel? ,Matthew 13:18 Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower. Read this PARABLE, it is about the Kingdom , NOT Salvation as people think. Matthew 5:20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Here is an example, of the unbelief. Matthew 23:13 But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in. The same thing is happening today, by the Churches. How many Churches actually teach the Kingdom? In Christ JIM |

55 | What was the Question ! ! | Romans | lookinforacity | 204997 | ||
HI Jamison: I looked back at all of the threads in this conversation, can you tell me. "What was the original question", has it been answered? CHILD called it an interesting discussion/question. Your belief in soul sleep, or the questions on Mormonism, don't seem to fit the context of that question. But for some strange reason, it is more important for people, to make sure you are corrected on your personal belief, than for them to answer a legitimate QUESTION to this forum. In Christ JIM |

56 | Make a Decision | Rev 3:20 | lookinforacity | 204965 | ||
Is this verse in essence, a call to Salvation, spoken by JESUS? From the other verses 14-19 it sounds like he's saying, choose this day whom you will serve! Make a decision. |

57 | An interesting discussion/question | Romans | lookinforacity | 204934 | ||
HI CHILDOFGOD: I think this might be the one your looking for. Romans 2:14 For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves: The verse above covers anyone that is in the position of not having ever, or will never hear the word of FAITH. Tribes in the Jungles of the Amazon, and the like. They may be Pagans to us, but God will judge their heart. Now to go on to the area of, the unborn, babies, children. this following information isn't in the Bible it's in LAW . COVENANT A covenant, in its most general signification, means any kind of promise or contract, a covenant is an agreement between two or more persons, entered into in writing and under seal, whereby either party stipulates for the truth of certain facts, or promises to perform or give something to the other, or to abstain from the performance of certain things. - 1st. The parties must be such as by law can enter into a contract. If either for want of understanding, as in the case of an idiot or lunatic; or in the case of an infant, in every case, the parties are not competent, they cannot bind themselves. - 2d. There must be an agreement. The assent or consent must be mutual for the agreement would be incomplete if either party withheld his assent to any of its terms. The assent of the parties to a contract necessarily supposes a free, fair, serious exercise of the reasoning faculty. We have the OLD Covenant, and the NEW Covenant, but God doesn't hold babies, and children any more responsible than MAN does. To make it short, as you can see, even in MANS LAW, we don't hold some of our citizens responsible. Hope this answers both sides of the question. In Christ JIM |

58 | Help! Unclean vs clean meat? | Acts | lookinforacity | 204930 | ||
HI LRP: Here are 2 more cents for the kitty. You have gotten good sound advice so far, go with it ! This is from a different view point, but they go with what you already have, specifically the words of Jesus. "Everything is Clean." We as human beings, and especially Mothers in law, try sometimes to get closer to GOD by going back, to what we have been set free from, THE LAW. It seems, that we can become more Religious, if we do. WE do but not in a good sence. 1) My wife and I want to follow the laws of GOD, but we are confused. You are under Grace not the Law. 2) Can anyone that has come down this road help us out? Eat anything you want, everything is of GOD and fit for food. 3) I have all the scriptures, but really need guidance. Just show her the Scriptures that refute her argument, then let it go, don't argue the point, she wont keep it up for long, the LAW was given in the first place, to show us that WE cant keep it. She wont either, it would mean a change in her lifestyle. People do it for a short time then revert back to what they know. 4) I will ultimately make the decision for my family but need some help understanding this all. Your doing fine, don't go in the direction of the LAW, it will bind you up. Keep your family free, and in the Grace of GOD. Galatians 2:21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain. Galatians 5:4 Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace. GOD BLESS JIM |
