41 | salved? | Joel 2:32 | strts5 | 182891 | ||
Thanks. I know I'm saved. I was always lucky enough to avoid the major court battles, however I did go from pot to speed. Five years off of drugs now. I had a church I really liked but work got in the way a lot. I would still try to fellowship but noticed peoples returned calls got fewer and fewer. I finally stopped going about six months ago after attending and being very involved for over three years. The people who want to go out and have a good time are always available. The path is narrow and uphill and there aren't a lot of people on it. I have played games with God, but He has faithfully pursued me. I used to read the bible and see judgment and condemnation (not negating it either), but now I see His grace and love toward me. He will never stop chasing me, so I might as well give up. I love spending time with Him. Anyways it's late and I feel like I'm starting to ramble, but if others would like to keep this going I think it would be great. (they overcame by the Blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony). I'm sure others have something they could share. I know it helps me to hear others stories. Mike |

42 | Carpenter or rabbi? | Matthew | strts5 | 204355 | ||
I'm sure this has been discussed before but could not find any posts dealing directly with it. Was Jesus a carpenter or a rabbi? Typically Rabbi's didn't have jobs (I think) and also Jesus was doing the will of the Father. Joseph wasn't his father. Joseph did raise him though. I don't know if this has a diffinitive answere, maybe just two schools of thought. |

44 | Carpenter or rabbi? | Matthew | strts5 | 204633 | ||
Thought I would share (repent) with everyone here. When asking the above question I already knew the answere but was only looking for reinforcement for an arguement at work. The next morning my a sales manager ( I'm a car salesman ) approached me and asked if we could talk privately. He tells me he was at home the night before painting when the Lord asked him to speake to me. So he tells me why do I feel the need to be right all the time and correct everyone, when instead I should be a light and encourage people in such a dark workplace... Anyway, maybe I need to focus on studying to show myself approved to God while serving my co-workers. Not the other way around. In love Mike |

Dear Tamara, Thank you. And a side note, only God can forgive I know, however I believe in being open about my walk for accountability and growth. I think I was "teaching" with wrong motives (partially). I will never stop having conversations with the world about Christ though. I think it's the point. In love, Mike |

46 | pride and ego | Matt 16:24 | strts5 | 193075 | ||
Mat 16:24 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any [man] will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. 25) For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it. For me right now in my life I take this to mean I need to die to my own ego and pride. Is there an easy way to do this? I have spent 30 years building it up and its painful to deal with, especially when I don't recognize what the true pride is that is so contrary to Christ. I'm pretty sure there is no shortcut, but if someone knows one... (wishful thinking). This is a recurring theme in my life and a lesson I want to learn and get over with (I know there will always be a little tug of war). Any thoughts are appreciated. Mike R. ps I love asking questions here, there is no one who knows me and gives biased answers based on personal relationship with me. |

47 | give and it shall be givin | Luke 6:38 | strts5 | 192832 | ||
In Luke chapter 6 is there a separation (or new thought) between verse 36 and 37? If so, can you read Luke 6:38 as a stand alone statement or do you need to include verse 37? Or for that matter not include verse 39-42. I just find it odd people people quote this verse by itself so often and really want to know. Looking for the Truth Mike R |

Luke 10:1 1Now after this the Lord appointed seventy others, and sent them in pairs ahead of Him to every city and place where He Himself was going to come. So Jesus sent out 70 people to 35 places He was planning on going. Jesus had a pretty tight schedule. Is it documented where all these people went and at which point in Jesus ministry this occurred? Was He already on His way to Jerusalem? |

51 | When and where was the Pentecost? | Acts 2:1 | strts5 | 204051 | ||
Tamara, the house was big, but Acts 2:41, the house wasn't that big. However in Acts 2:15 it was around 9am. So, the holy men of God were gathered together for "Shavuot" (pentecost). Shavuot is traditionally practiced by praying all night (without sleeping) then going to the temple for a reading of the law. I am going to make a couple of assumptions. Reading the "Tora" probobly took most of the day(it's long), so you would most likely head to the temple pretty early. So I am going to guess and say that they were filled with the Holy Spirit while they wre praying all night. At around 9am (after they recieved the promise Jesus told them to wait for) they headed off to the temple, since they still were following the Jewish traditions. So, and I'm guessing, when Peter began prophesying they were either on there way to the temple or already there. |

53 | Pentacost | Acts 2:1 | strts5 | 204059 | ||
If you click on a thread, scroll to the bottom and you can see the entire thread. I'm listed as strts5 but I'm really Mike. Try that, should make more sense... Also on this thread I want to say more but don't have diffinitive evidence or greek understanding. I'll go ahead anyway and state "in my opinion" however don't in any way take it as Gospel, but it kinda makes sense. So here goes... Acts 2:1 ..."when the day of Pentacost had fully come"... may mean it was already day time and they were already at the Temple. Acts 2:3 ..."and it filled all the house"... House can mean both a home or the Temple and many other things, etc. etc. Acts 1:4 And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me. So Jesus commanded them to go to Jerusalem but not nessecarily the upper room. Acts 1:13 And when they were come in, they went up into an upper room, where abode... Abode simply means to live, it does not say they didn't leave. Anyway, I "think" it is very possible and even probable they were already in the Temple when they reiceved the Holy Spirit. It would have deffinately made quite an impression. There are also some evidence this may have been the case if you look at the O.T. Read about the dedication of Solomon's Temple. Anyway I am definately up for critiquing and encourage it please. |

55 | The Suffering of the Church | Acts 8:2 | strts5 | 217588 | ||
That is interesting Theology, I don't know that I buy it. I believe God can turn any situation into Glory for Himself, but I can't seem to find any scripture where God uses suffering to lead us. He uses His Holy Spirit to lead and I don't know that there is any suffering in the Holy Spirit. In the O.T. there was suffering as a result of sin, and God did teach His people through suffering, but suffering was not His tool for teaching or inspiring. Suffering in ALL forms is EVIL and SATANIC. It is the opposite of the Kingdom of Heaven. There is Heb 5:8 but I don't think you can argue Christ suffered until the cross, and I don't believe that was a learning experience. In Him, Mike |

56 | The Suffering of the Church | Acts 8:2 | strts5 | 217612 | ||
Hi all, Let me clarify. When this dispensation is over and we enter into eternity with Christ will there be any suffering? Why not? There is suffering in this life as a result of a fallen world, and we as Christians must endure it. The difference between a Christian and non-Christian, we both endure suffering, only God strengthens the Christian through suffering. Do we learn from suffering and grow stronger in our faith if we persevere, absolutely. The statement I was making is that the suffering is not from God. Suffering is already in this world, God allows us go through suffering, but suffering in itself is a byproduct of sin and death and that is not from God. As Christians we are supposed to triumph over suffering and learn patience that God will make us victorious over it. So, I will stand by my statement, ALL SUFFERING IS EVIL!!! ISAIAH 48:10 NKJ 10 Behold, I have refined you, but not as silver; I have tested you in the furnace of affliction. JAMES 1:2-3 NKJ 2 My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, 3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. |

CDBJ, If God calls you to China to be a missionary and while there you are arrested, sent to labor prison and die, you will be rewarded in Heaven for your suffering. Was the suffering good or evil? The suffering was evil! God is rewarding you for the evil you endured for His name sake and counting it as good. Suffering is the physical manifestation of evil! I don't understand how very educated people can be so confused about a very simple concept. In love Mike |

Everyone, All discipline for the moment seems not to be joyful, but sorrowful; yet to those who have been trained by it, afterwards it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness. I am teachable, and I feel I have misspoke. There is discipline from God which may seem to be suffering while it lasts. I think I could take the conversation into semantics and say there would be no discipline without sin (evil) but while in this life both will continue. I made a blanket statement and I will concede and accept correction. In Him, Mike |
