41 | What is preaching Christ? | John 7:17 | mitchm0521 | 167563 | ||
Do you believe God's will in heaven is for people to die? Do you think he wants death to take place in heaven? HOw about 1 Peter 2:24 that says by the stripes of Jesus we are healed? Its found in Isaiah as well, I know you know that. Also part of Isiah is quoted in the Gospel, you know that as well. That shows its God's will to heal. Where can you find that shows its not always his will? Again I ask, if we are to pray Thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven. Are we to think that sometimes he wants people to die in heaven? And would you ever pray repetedly for God to grant you salvation, or do you think that you only have to pray that one time? Do you think a person has to get up every morning, and become born again , again? Also, if at times its God's will to kill, then we can say that Satan does the work of God, correct? Just some thoughts, Mitch |

Its good to be particular brother, I wouldn't want to discuss the Word any other way. However, what I'm seeing here, is that the word with, yes does show you that persecution comes with the 100 fold. Thats all I'm trying to say, when you recieve the 100 fold, then you get persecution with it. Now this is a crazy illustration, but let me just go ahead and say it... Lets say I buy a brand new dodge truck, and when you purchase this particular truck, you get a person with it that follows you around and throws pie in your face all day long. I could say I have the pie throwing man because I bought the truck? Because he came with the truck... correct? Thats all I"m saying brother. I'm saying you get the persecution, when you get the 100 fold. Mitch |

God would never discourage the use of hospitals, they are wonderful tools for those who have not come to the knowledge of Christ their healer. My mother is a nurse, there is nothing wrong with a profession that helps people. I fully support them, I don't need them, but untill someone gets int he Word, and trusts Jesus as their healer, they might need them. From your 1st point, you said If God wants someone dead, then you sending them to the hospital wont prevent it. Then by that same token if God wants someone saved ( which we can agree he wants everyone saved ) should you still give them pornography, should you still give them heroine? No you shouldn't, and how come? Because those things are contrary to the Word of God. If God has made a decree, we better follow it. If God wants something to happen, and if we try to disobey it, and not support it, we are in sin brother. So if God wants someone dead, and you send them to a hospital to try to save their life, you are opposing the work of God. God Bless, Mitch |

I believe to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord ( 2 Cor 5:8 ) I am a Spirit, i have a soul, and I live in a body. Someday I will leave this body. I don't call that death, I call that a homecoming :) |

I know faith can be measured, but you can't measure it like you measure a mustard seed. Thats all I'm saying there, you say he only means literal mountains, then why don't you say he means litterally measuring your faith like you measure a seed? I am sorry to hear about your loss, and I am even more sorry to hear that you believe it was not God's will to heal your son. I never said God is a magical lamp either. I simply say that whatever his will is, thats what I want in my life. And healing is his will. AGain, I am sorry for the loss of your son, I hope that in time you are emotionally healed from that experience, and realize God did not take him, satan is the one who kills steals and destroys. God Bless you brother, Mitch |

I think suffering comes upon us, simply because Satan hates us. I would have to assume Satan hates the entire human race. I think we could all agree with that. And in hating us, he worked a plan that caused Eve to be decieved and Adam to transgress. That brought death into this entire planet. Can we agree that sickness and disease were not in the Garden untill the fall of man? Or do you think God designed Adam in order to at times, give him cancer, or some other form of disease? As for God allowing suffering in our lives, I believe he has to allow it at times, obvisouly if I shoot myself, I'll get hurt wont I? But he did say in Isaiah that no weapon formed against me can prosper. So whats the deal with that? Is it a contradiction, or could it possibly be that if I am walking in the Word of God, and keeping his commands, that God will then be able to extend his protection over me? I believe that is the case, otherwise, God would be a respecter of persons to be doing all the wonderful things he is doing in my life, yet force someone else to live in poverty and have no home, must less a beautiful home as God has blessed with me. And we know from Scripture, God is no respecter of persons. As for the blessings and cursings, yes I believe we can live in the blessings from the Old Testament, I don't think we have to live in Israel, but hey, maybe we can stand on the Word and say that its our land too! YOu'd have to take that before God. But if we look at all those wonderful blessings in Deuteronomy, why would God not extend those to us? Hebrews says we have a better covenant, established upon better promises! Glory to God brother, better promises! If they had healing, we have that too, and better things that that. Our covenant would not be better than theirs, if they were able to repent and get back in line with God and have no sickness, but we are forced to live in it. So my view is basically this, God does not send sickness or disease upon his children, it happens, because the devil wants to hurt all of humanity. He wants to destroy it. The Word says he comes to kill steal and destroy. But God, has made a way of escape for those who will call upon him. Because the Word says "Whosoever will call upon the name of the Lord shall be healed! ( delivered , saved ) Glory to God Brother, that sounds good to me, doesn't it you? Mitch |

Is there something in the text that shows that persecution comes with it and not because of it? At any rate if it comes because of the 100 fold, or with it, is it not the same? If I am living in 100 fold, I should expect to be persecuted correct? Isn't that what we are both saying? |

I've read the book of Job. Can you show me in there where God did those thigns to Job, or can you show me in that book where God allowed it to happen to Job? There is a huge difference that should be discovered between those two ideas. Also, I do take the 'WOF' as you call it teachings and prove them in light of the entire Word, not only that, but as the Word says, these teachings that many despise, are being proven daily in the lives of many believers. The Lord is working with me and many other preachers confirming his Word with many signs and wonders following. So since the Word backs up what they teach, and since the works back up what they teach, I have no reason to doubt it. And there have been little comment on my comments about hospitals. I would assume its because nobody can say anything about them. Its true, if you think sickness is from God, and you support hospitals, then you are very likely helping someone get healed, that God wants dead. God Bless, Mitch |

First let me say I'm sorry you feel the need to have such... hostility towards me. I love you brother, let us discuss these issues with an open heart. I thought I had stated what I meant, and gave scripture for the statement that God has made himself dependant on our faith. Maybe I forgot to hit submit, but let me just reiterate it for you, in case it wasn't actually posted, and in which case, I apologize. 2 Peter 3:9 says that God is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentence. Hebrews 11:6 says that without faith it is impossible to please God. Because in order to come to God we have to believe that he is and that he is the rewarder of them that diligently seek him. In other words, if you don't believe in God, and have no faith in God, you can't come to him and recieve the salvation that he wants every man to have. So, what I"m saying is just this. If God wants every man saved, what is keeping every man from being saved? Why did the rich man end up in hell? Why have all of us known someone that died without a relationship with Jesus Christ and in all probability wind up in hell? If God is able to save any man, wether or not he believes on the name of Jesus Christ, then it makes him a very unjust God to let people wind up in hell doesn't it? In other words, if God can make sure a man enters into heaven when he leaves this life, without the man having to do anything on his own to get in, ie without having to confess Jesus, and have no faith, then and only then would God be independent of a mans faith woudln't he? But since God is willing that none should perish, yet to have everlasting life you must have faith, for God to bring you into right standing with himself you must have faith, to please the Father you must have faith, that makes God pretty dependent on your faith in Him doens't it? Hope this cleared things up! Mitch |

Any doctor in this country can tell you that people die all the time without it being caused by sickness or disease. There have been plenty who get to a very old age, and they have no signs of sickness, they don't have arthritis, their mind is as good as when they were 20, they can still go outdoors and run and jog and keep up with the great grandkids, yet there comes a moment when the easiest way to describe it would be their heart just quits, its painless, its not sickness, and it doesn't mean God isn't the healer. What do you think Paul meant when he said he's stuck and can't decide if he should go on to be with the Lord, or stay on this earth and teach? Does that not show us that he believed he had the right to chose if he left this earthly body or not? What I"m saying, is that I will never die untill I am either martyed for the Lord Jesus Christ, or I'm an old old man and my ministry on this earth has come to an end, and I am ready to go home to heaven. Its hard for peole to concieve that you can die without being sick, they say 'well his heart stopped, that sounds like sickness to me. ' I understand that in essence, yes, your heart stopping, if you are not ready to go home to be with God, is a bad thing. But if you've run your race down here, you've lived the long life God promised you, and your work is through, thats the way to go. And like I said, unless I am martyed, thats the exact way I'll go. I'll know it beforehand, and I'll be ready. As for Jesus after his resurrection, I was simply stating that he had not yet been glorified. I wasn't saying he was a slave to anything. But was merely pointing out that even after his death and resurrection, there was still more for him to do before they could touch him. He had to present himself before the throne, and sprinkle his blood on the heavenly utensils of worship, and cleanse us all! Sorry for the confusion. Our Lord is enslaved to nobody, and neither are we! |

Well if you think literal mountains can be moved. Good. So do I. Looks like we agree! I wasn't saying this scripture is a parable, but I am saying Jesus is not smiply saying that only that one particular mountain can be moved. He goes on to tell us that whatever we say we shall have. He is not limiting out authority to move that one mountain. And I'm glad you believe literal mountains can be moved. Looks like we agree on that! I'm simply saying, I seriously doubt I can measure faith in a beaker, or with any other instrument. So I know for a fact, Jesus wasn't being literal about that. | ||||||

I believe here that Paul is simply pointing out that we are more in the same state Jesus was when he appeared to Marry and said don't touch me yet. He did not have his glorified body yet. And we don't have that body either. But someday we will have a glorified body. Anything less than God's best for us, is corruption. I don't see this passage as being a reason to think that we have to suffer sickness or disease. Its simply showing that yes, someday if the Lord tarries I will leave this earthly body untill the day of resurection. Mitch |

You bring good points. Let me adress the issue of God being dependant upon our Faith. The Word says that God is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentence. Well Paul says that we have to confess with our mouth the Lord Jesus in order to be saved. And the Word also says we must have faith in order to come to God ( Heb 11 ) If God was not dependent upon our belief in Him, then he could just make sure nobody went to Hell right? But he can't do that can he? He has to allow us to make the deicison to stand up in Faith and confess JEsus Christ is Lord. Thats what I'm saying when I say that God is dependent upon our Faith. And I never said God doesn't allow us to be tested, he allowed Job to be tested didn't he? I'm just saying, God doesn't do the testing, and he didn't send the test, and he wasn't the one who even brought up the idea of the test was he? Satan wanted to do it. And God allowed it, he had to, his laws are law brother. How many times in the Old Testament do we see God saying 'Fear Not' yet JOb was in great fear wasn't he? God had to allow the test, what reason, I'm not totally sure, but perhaps because Job feared, and God had said don't fear. As for sickness not being included, in Deu 28 the blessing and cursing are laid out, and the curse covers sickness. All they had to do was follow God, and listen to what he said, and keep his commands, and sickness would not come upon them. That extends to us today as well. So thats where scripture shows us that God does not send sickness and disease upon his children. Nowhere in scripture will you find that God sent sickness upon his children. Your passage from James is a wonderful one, and yes it does show that the prayer of faith will save the sick and the Lord will raise him up. This is a great passage because its God being able to extend himself as Jehova Rapha to those who aren't strong enough in their faith to believe for their own healing. There is nothing wronmg with going to the elders and letting them pray for you and anoint you. What I like about this Scripture is that it shows us that it is Gods will for EVERYONE to be healed. If it wasn't God's will for everyone to be healed, then why would we ever pray for them to be healed? We shoul dnever pray against the will of God. I think you might be a bit confused on something I"ve said, I've never meant to come across as saying that all sickness is because a person sinned. Good people have sickness too, because Satan brings it upon them. It all comes from him. Thats what I'm saying. It comes from him, and not from God. God Bless, Mitch |

If you think Jesus is only talking about literal mountains, then I'm not sure what to tell you other than I hope then that you beleive a Christian man could walk up to that literal mountain and tell it to move. However, I don't think he's being literal here. I mean can you actually measure faith like you measure a mustard seed? Or could we assume Jesus is using an illustration to make a grander point? Such as he did very often in parables? Mitch |

We fully agree on that it seems. There is one truth, and we should all come to the same understanding of the Scriptures. However there may come a time when our conversation on the subject might need to cease, or at least, pause while we both spend time in prayer and meditating on the subject. But we have the same Holy Ghost, I've been baptized in the same Holy Ghost as you brother, I speak in tongues by the same spirit that you do.. so we can safely say that in time we will both have the same knowledge of the Word. God Bless, Mitch |

The KJV adds words that aren't there all the time. Thats what the italics are :) But I agree, you can't just add in words to fit what you want it to say. However, I'm saying that from the way it reads, it means that you will recieve persectuion with the 100 fold return. I'm saying just that, a person who recieves 100 fold will with that 100 fold, recieve persecutions. If thats not what you think, what do you believe it is saying? | ||||||

I abide completely by the rules. I have told BradK that my intention was not to be short. As for what Spurgeon said, I've little interest. I'm here to discuss scripture, not other preachers. I haven't even sat around and quoted men I listn to, I've quoted Almighty God. You wont see me saying well Kenneth Copeland once said, or whoever once said. I'm giving scripture, and expecting that in return. I ask the same from you in return. AS to breaking the guidelines, please show me where and when I did that, so I can correct it. Mitch |

60 | What is preaching Christ? | John 7:17 | mitchm0521 | 167452 | ||
I'm sorry if you think Im being short with you. I'm just saying either bring scripture to me, as my brother Mark did, or you won't get any response out of me. If you are done with the topic, thats fine. I apologize if I came across as being short, that was not my intention, simply I just meant to get my point across that I have been backing up what I preach, and have gotten litten scripture if any in return from you. God Bless, Mitch |
