41 | claiming things in your life | Is 53:5 | xmikx | 136350 | ||
Well, acutally you are wrong. That was my first post on this subject, you must be confused as to who said what. Since you state you are a member of the Assemblies of God Church, shouldn't you say, 'a statement of what WE believe' instead of they believe? You state that you have given scriptures to prove it, but it seems that you are the only one you have proved it to. From reading the posts from the other forum contributers, it appears that you have not proved anything to them and especially me. Did you read the scripture in 1 Peter 2:24-25? It clearly states that we might die to sin and are to live to righteousness as a result of Christ's wounds and suffering. It does not say anything about being physically healed as a result of His death and resurrection. It is referring to a spiritual healing. Please take a look at the commentaries at www.crosswalk.com . They have very good Bible study tools on this website with many different commentaries. | ||||||

You may rest your case all you like and you have every right to do so. But, if you will read 1 Peter 2:24-25 with an open mind and not how you already perceive healing being provided in the atonement, it might show you something different. Here is 1 Peter 2:24-25 (NASB) 1 Peter 2 24 and He Himself (1) bore our sins in His body on the (2) cross, so that we (3) might die to sin and live to righteousness; for (4) by His wounds you were (5) healed. 25 For you were (6) continually straying like sheep, but now you have returned to the (7) Shepherd and Guardian of your souls. If you notice, the scripture says so that we might die to sin and live to righteousness; for by His wounds you were healed. Righteousness means without guilt or sin. That is what we gain from Christ dying for us on the cross. We will, one day, live in righteousness, but until then we are to continue living for God in every aspect of our lives. Praise God that you were healed as my daughter was healed by God when the doctors thought she should have never made it through the pregnancy. And I don't mean to start any argument, but since when did the Assemblies of God position paper take precedence over the Bible? |

43 | 2 Cor 4:4 | 2 Cor 4:4 | xmikx | 136155 | ||
Excellent post pcdarcan. You make the same point as I, but in a much more convincing manner. It is very clear to me that Paul is referring to Satan. You have to read the entire verse to really see how 'the god of this world' is not referring to God. Why would God want to blind the eyes of the unbelievers from the glory of his Son? Please go to the following link for a very detailed explanation of this verse using Robertson's Word Pictures of the New Testament. It will not let me paste the passage here as it contains words or letters (i don't know which) in what I assume is Greek. This is a very good explanation of 2 Cor 4:4. http://bible.crosswalk.com/Commentaries/RobertsonsWordPictures/ and then just click on the book, chapter and verse to see Robertson's commentary. |

44 | explane matt 18:18 or me | Matt 18:18 | xmikx | 135942 | ||
I am going to use the NIV and later AMP for this explanation. This is Jesus speaking in Matthew 18:18 (NIV) 18"I tell you the truth, whatever you bind on earth will be[3] bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be[4] loosed in heaven. Notes [3] and [4] are listed as footnotes in the NIV with the following explanation: 18:18 Or have been So, if you exchange will be with have been you can get the meaning of this verse. Whatever you hold on to on earth, should also be what is held on to in heaven. Or hold dearly on earth should be what is held dearly in heaven.It helps to start at verse 15 to understand what Jesus is referring to in verse 18. Now, the Amplified Bible for Matt 18:18 is: 18Truly I tell you, whatever you forbid and declare to be improper and unlawful on earth must be [1] what is already forbidden in heaven, and whatever you permit and declare proper and lawful on earth must be [2] what is already permitted in heaven. Notes [1] and [2] are listed as footnotes and direct the reader to the footnote on Matt 16:19. The footnotes here are as follows: Charles B. Williams, The New Testament: A Translation: "The perfect passive participle, here referring to a state of having been already forbidden [or permitted]." So, in short, what we do and don't do here on earth should be done and not done the way it is in heaven. |

45 | 2 Cor 4:4 | 2 Cor 4:4 | xmikx | 135940 | ||
Every verse below is from NASB. 2 Corinthians 4 4 in whose case (1) the god of (2) this world has (3) blinded the minds of the unbelieving so that they might not see the (4) light of the gospel of the (5) glory of Christ, who is the (6) image of God. Reference point (1) is John 12:31 which is the following: John 12 31 "(1) Now judgment is upon this world; now (2) the ruler of this world will be cast out. John 12:31 lists 1 John 5:19 as a cross reference which is the following: 1 John 5 19 (1) We know that (2) we are of God, and that (3) the whole world lies in the power of the evil one. 1 John 5:19 lists John 17:15 as a cross reference which is the following and this is Jesus speaking: 15 "I do not ask You to take them out of the world, but to keep them from (39) the evil one. Now I ask, who is referred to in each of these verses as being opposed to what God wants for His children? The only answer is Satan. Yes, I know that Satan is not mentioned in any of the above verses, but it is implied that is who each of the verses is referring to. In no way am I trying to compare Jesus and Satan, but 2 Cor 4:4 uses god and not God. There is a huge difference between little g god and BIG G GOD. There are numerous times in the Bible where Jesus is referred to many different words/titles other than Jesus Christ. He is referred to as the Way, the Truth, the Light, the Savior, Lord and many others. Each time we know the author is referring to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. When the author uses 'the god of this world' with the little g, he is referring to Satan and is using the word god, not calling him God. The end of the verse is as follows: the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. Here the author uses big G which is intended for the God of the universe. The God that created everything in six days. The God that sent his only son to die on a cross for mine and your sins. The God of love. Have a wonderful day and remember that God loves you more than you can comprehend. Mike |

46 | 2 corn. 4:4 the god of this world hath b | 2 Cor 4:1 | xmikx | 135939 | ||
Hey Tim. I agree with you on the New Living Translation bible. I know it is not a word for word translation only a phrase for phrase translation. But I do not feel they changed the meaning of the text. This verse is speaking of Satan as being the one who has blinded the eyes of the unbelieving so that the unbelieving will not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ who is the image of God. You say they potentially change the meaning of the text, but that is not the case of 2 Cor 4:4. You also state the Living Bible 'adds' it anyway. The way you wrote your post is as if the Living Bible is the only translation/version that has 'added' things. If you will search any verse on this website, it lists both the NASB and the Amplified translations. They are not exact matches for the exact same verse. The Amplified translation has many 'added' words/phrases that do not appear in the NASB or any other version of the Bible. I am not trying to attack you or any other version or translation of the Bible, I am merely stating my opinion as you did about the Living Bible translation. Mike |

47 | Is "no" or "wait" prayer not answered | Ps 80:4 | xmikx | 135931 | ||
Hello romenile. I went to www.biblegateway.com and searched for answered prayers. I found the following information in the commentary (NLT) section for Psalm 80:4. This may not be the answer you are looking for, but it might shed some different light on your situation. He that dwelleth upon the mercy-seat, is the good Shepherd of his people. But we can neither expect the comfort of his love, nor the protection of his arm, unless we partake of his converting grace. If he is really angry at the prayers of his people, it is because, although they pray, their ends are not right, or there is some secret sin indulged in them, or he will try their patience and perseverance in prayer. When God is displeased with his people, we must expect to see them in tears, and their enemies in triumph. There is no salvation but from God's favour; there is no conversion to God but by his own grace. (Ps 80:8-16) |

48 | 2 corn. 4:4 the god of this world hath b | 2 Cor 4:1 | xmikx | 135925 | ||
I have a New Living Traslation bible and this is the verse you used: 4Satan, the god of this evil world, has blinded the minds of those who don't believe, so they are unable to see the glorious light of the Good News that is shining upon them. They don't understand the message we preach about the glory of Christ, who is the exact likeness of God. The god of this world is referring to Satan and he has blinded the minds of those who don't believe in Jesus as their personal savior. I hope this helps. |

49 | Interracial marriages? Bible says what? | 2 Cor 6:14 | xmikx | 135844 | ||
Yeah man, we are cool on this subject. The end result is God loves all. Just read John 3:16 and really think about what Jesus did for all and it makes me go WOW!!!!! He did that for me. Thank you Jesus for loving me that much!!! | ||||||
50 | Interracial marriages? Bible says what? | 2 Cor 6:14 | xmikx | 135834 | ||
Hank, I completely agree with you. The post prior just mentioned that mixed marriage was not discussed in the Bible. I merely posted two different passages where mixed marriage is mentioned in the Bible. Maybe I should have included more information, but someone mentioned to me to not read too much into what is not in the scripture. I only included the verses. It is then left up to the individual to study its significance. | ||||||
51 | Interracial marriages? Bible says what? | 2 Cor 6:14 | xmikx | 135625 | ||
Please read the following two examples taken from the NASB... This is Ezra 9:1-2. Mixed Marriages 1 Now when these things had been completed, the princes approached me, saying, "The people of Israel and the priests and the Levites have not (1) separated themselves from the peoples of the lands, (2) according to their abominations, those of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites, the Ammonites, the Moabites, the Egyptians and the Amorites. 2 "For (3) they have taken some of their daughters as wives for themselves and for their sons, so that (4) the holy race has (5) intermingled with the peoples of the lands; indeed, the hands of the princes and the rulers have been foremost in this unfaithfulness." This is Nehemiah 13:22-24 also from NASB. Mixed Marriages Forbidden 23 In those days I also saw that the Jews had (3) married women from (4) Ashdod, (5) Ammon and Moab. 24 As for their children, half spoke in the language of Ashdod, and none of them was able to speak the language of Judah, but the language of his own people. I hope this will help clarify the situation for you and your grandson as well as anyone else reading about this subject. It is covered in the word of God. |

52 | Are angels sinful? | Heb 12:26 | xmikx | 135593 | ||
Tim, I can agree with everything you say. Maybe I am adding or reading too much into what is actually not there. I also agree that rule or reign is a poor choice of words on my part. God is only allowing him to influence us in this world. During the time mentioned in Revelation, God will not allow Satan to have any control during Christ's 1000 year reign. |
||||||
53 | Are angels sinful? | Heb 12:26 | xmikx | 135585 | ||
Thanks Tim for the welcome. I really enjoy this website. This is Rev 12: 1-6 from NIV translation. 1And I saw an angel coming down out of heaven, having the key to the Abyss and holding in his hand a great chain. 2He seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil, or Satan, and bound him for a thousand years. 3He threw him into the Abyss, and locked and sealed it over him, to keep him from deceiving the nations anymore until the thousand years were ended. After that, he must be set free for a short time. 4I saw thrones on which were seated those who had been given authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony for Jesus and because of the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or his image and had not received his mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ a thousand years. 5(The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended.) This is the first resurrection. 6Blessed and holy are those who have part in the first resurrection. The second death has no power over them, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with him for a thousand years. This is my take on this. If Satan is going to be locked in the abyss for a thousand years while Jesus rules on earth, where is Satan ruling now? If Jesus is going to rule on earth during this 1000 year period mentioned in Revelation (which is in the future) who rules on earth now? Fellow heir, Mike Nash |

54 | Are angels sinful? | Heb 12:26 | xmikx | 135572 | ||
I do not dispute anything you say in this last note. Everything that you state about the Bible is accurate. Also, everything you say here is what I said in my note. Satan and one third of innumerable number of all angels fell to earth just after the war with Michael and his angels. If you will carefully read the last part of my note, I was not quoting scripture. The end of my note is a paraphrase of what happened to Satan after he fell. He does rule and reign on earth today and will continue to have his way until Christ begins His 1000 year reign of heaven on earth. | ||||||
55 | Are angels sinful? | Heb 12:26 | xmikx | 135542 | ||
Kalos, you state that "the Bible contains no description of that event." But in Revelation 12: 7-9 it states '7And there was war in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back. 8But he was not strong enough, and they lost their place in heaven. 9The great dragon was hurled down--that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him.(NIV) This states that Satan and his angels were hurled or fell to the earth where he reigns today. | ||||||

57 | now there was a woman who had been suffe | Bible general Archive 2 | xmikx | 135449 | ||
She had suffered through something that no doctor or physician could even control let alone heal. She wanted to be healed. Verse 28 says,'because she thought, "if I could just touch his clothes, I will be healed." She had faith and was healed by her faith just from touching Jesus' cloak. So, the central truth and life application is when we have enough faith, God can do anything. We just have to have faith and honestly believe the; what seems in our eyes as impossible is proved to be very possible for God. | ||||||
58 | What does honor mean to you? | Eph 5:28 | xmikx | 135433 | ||
Thank you for your answer. That does help. I can not say the same for my actions toward my wife in the past. I have not always been truthful and am paying the price for it now by being seperated from my wife. The biggest gain from this seperation is that I have grown closer to God during this time. My prayer life has increased tenfold during the seperation. My wife is a good woman and deserves to be treated with honor. I am really wanting to become the man that Gods wants me to be and my wife needs me to be. Thanks again for the answer. And, if at all possible, ask your wife what she expects, and not only from you as her husband, but men in general when she hears "honor your wife or your prayers will not be heard" as it says in 1 Peter 3:7. | ||||||

60 | What does it mean to conduct ourselves. | Phil 1:27 | xmikx | 135412 | ||
This is Pauls letter to the Philippi. In the begining of this letter he is telling them about his imprisonment for preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ. He is telling the Philippi that no matter what happens to him (Paul) act or conduct yourself in a way that is pleasing to the Lord. At this time, Paul does not know if he will be killed or tortured or what for spreading the Good News. But he does know that it is very important to always act/conduct yourself in a good and godly manner. When things don't go according to what we want, it is so easy to fly off the handle or attack back towards someone else. But Philippians 1: 27-30 tells us to conduct ourselves in a way that will honor Jesus. Paul goes on to tell the Philippi that will also suffer for Jesus. In these times we are also to conduct ourselves in a way that will bring glory to the Father. Saying all of that, I have failed at this miserably many different times, but after reading this passage it gives me a refresher on how to conduct myself in times of adversity. I hope this helps you. | ||||||
