Peches 650520 I warned you if you kept smoking that stuff this would happen. See you proved me right. Okay why don't you tell me who the "ALL" is. No on second thought I don't want to know. Ed |

4922 | Who will the heavenly rulers be ruling.. | Bible general Archive 1 | EdB | 13810 | ||
Jen Let your tiredness be a warning to you, it may be time to get out of this discussion with this woman. Unless the Holy Spirit opens her eyes nothing you can say or do will convince her. Pray for her, live Christ before her but don't wear yourself out trying to convince her. Yes I have considered that verse but if you read Revelation 22:2 it talks about the leaves of the trees being used for the healing of the nations. To me that sound like natural people rather than angels, people in imperishable bodies and etc. I have always wondered who was going to go through the millennium, and who was going to be in the New Heaven and New Earth. I also wondered where God was going to keep these people if they came through the millennium while the earth was being consumed in fire and the New Heaven and the New Earth was being created. But I always figured if God could and did create this universe He was sufficient to handle these small details. It was so nice talking with you, be blessed and rest easy knowing you confessed Jesus before this woman, that is all Jesus asked you to do. I’ll keep you and her in prayer. Ed |

JVH0212 You again jump in way too deep. Read what I said. Did I say Luther was wrong? Did I say the church was right? The situation of the church at the time of Luther was despicable at best and horrendous at worst, that is fact. What Luther did was courageous. It is what occurred after that I question. I see many men jumping in on one side or the other of the issue not for Godly reasons but for reasons of gain, power, and probably some with anarchical feelings wanting to see the “establishment brought down”. Incidentally Luther’s intention was not withdrawal out of the church but reformation within it. And yes he was left with no option but to leave. However by his own testimony he realized people on both sides of the issue had used him for political, financial and power seizing gains thus forcing that conclusion. He expressed regret he allowed it to happen, again not what he did but for allowing others to get between him and the church. Also remember Luther was not all saint, he is the guy that said Jews were vermin and that their tongues should be removed from their heads by going in through the back of their necks. Not the most Christian like statement wouldn’t you agree? Luther made many contributions to religion for which I'm most thankful. However that was not my question or statement. I questioned how many (without naming names) men of the reformation were in it for the right reasons. I then wondered, out loud if you will, what would the church look like today if all those men that were involved for all the wrong reason had remained out. JVH0212 I was not defending the church nor tearing down the reformers I was as you say Monday morning quarterbacking and wondering what if. Sorry if that offended you! |

Brian Thank you but let me be clear, I was not defending your position I was defending how you reached it and also how and why you were defending it. You made some excellent points that unfortunately probably got lost in the battle. I too wonder where the church of Jesus Christ would be today if had Martin Luther instead of allowing himself to be separated from the church had moved to make changes from within it. I wonder how heaven views the reformers? Were they righteous men seeking to do what was right or fleshly men doing and moving in fleshly ways to accomplish fleshly desires? Only God knows the good or the damage they did to the church. It is possible that without them the church today might not even exist. However it is also possible that because of their actions the church instead of being the dominate force lost it's position and is quietly getting shoved into the background of society. |

Nor was my response to you meant to be confrontational. I was explaining why I reached the conclusion I did. I attempted to demonstate how I allowed the Bible to interpret itself and lead me to the conclusion. No harm done! | ||||||

Well a little melodramatic maybe :-) I wasn’t preaching tolerance I was merely making a point. Brian believes what his church teaches right or wrong, and that my friend in no different than many other contributors to this forum. If their church whatever the denomination or organization says it is true that is basically how they believe. Many claim this as not being true, that the Bible is their guide, but I submit to you they read the Bible through biased eyes. That my friend is no different than what our friend Brian has done. If you can't see that or refuse to believe that then perhaps may update would seen ecumenical. Don’t go the discernment route with me while you stand on a soapbox constructed with human hands. | ||||||

4929 | Divine Healing, True or False? | Matthew | EdB | 13712 | ||
Kimberly you missed my point. I said God will provide and that God does heal. What I really said was if these men could heal like they claim why aren’t they visiting the hospitals, or going the Aids clinics and healing them? Jesus did! If they can heal like they claim why don’t they do it out on the street as a sign to unbelievers? Instead they do it in the church qnd on TV and who sees Christians to whom it soon it becomes entertainment. I know I have seen it. I have seen the Christians rush to get the best seat so they can see the miracle. I have also seen these same Christians out in the parking lot rushing past everyone to be the first at the restaurant. I see real miracles every day where men and women preach Jesus Christ in the streets and without laying on of hands or standing in lines blind eyes are opened and lame walk. But you won’t see this on TV these people that are healed and made whole are poor, dirty and smelly, totally unwelcome in most churches. They can’t pay and none is asked yet God provides for these men and women to be able to preach everyday. But there is a difference these men and women go home at night to houses like you and I live in. Not a gated communities of palaces where your TV preachers live. I said the message these men are preaching is designed to have you and others support their ministry. If God always repaid back 100 percent then these guys shouldn't need your money they should be able to raise it on their own. Why do they have to bleed the Christians dry? I believe if you sow into God’s work, God is faithful and repays, He owes no man, however I think it may come as blessings or in ways you or I haven’t conceived of. But to say if you send 10 dollars to me God will pay you back 100 in false teaching at it’s worst. Yes I know of what I talk about in Haiti, I can assure you God blesses each and every Christian there in spectacular ways but the richest of them would trade place with you financially in a heart beat. I also know of what I talk about in some of these other countries. You couldn’t preach what these men preach without getting chased out of town. These people are living and dying for Christ and to tell them what these men teach in an insult to their suffering. Like Morgan61 said if what these guys preach works why don’t they send the 10 dollars to you? Again I beg you turn of the TV. Pray that God will open your eyes to His truth and sit down and read your Bible. Don’t read it as these guys have said it says but read it letting the Holy Spirit show you the truth. |

Kimberly before you respond read what EdB, Norrie, Morgan61 have said. Your idea of seed time and harvest just doesn't float. Please don't provide all the Word of Faith proof text. Look at realities. The disciples took offerings up to help those in Jerusalem if seed time and harvest teaching would have worked don't you think they would have done that? Look at Norrie's example and what God showed her. Think about what Morgan61 said if these seed time and harvest ministers really believed what they said they would sow ten dollars into your live and get back 100 instead of telling you to sow 10 into theirs. Please think about other Christian countries where the richest Christian believer is poorer than our poorest person in this country. Lastly examine and study these teachers and see that they are living high on the hog while the people they sell their message to eek out meager existences while sending their money to these blood suckers. I have personally seen some of these men want for nothing while they take money from a family of 4 living on less than 20 thousand. | ||||||
4931 | One land mass? | Gen 1:9 | EdB | 13699 | ||
Yes I guess this is one of the differences between me and many others, I try to take the Bible literally if at all possible. Since we know that at one point there was one continent and now there are many and since this says doing Peleg's life the world was divided I buy into it. For me this interpretation works, doesn't effect salvation, and I can't be contradicting the Bible since I didn't apply any meaning to the passage other than what it said. I try to take things as a child with almost child like faith! Hey wait a minute didn't Jesus say we were suppose to have child like faith? Wow, maybe I'm on to something! :-) | ||||||

Ah! the smell of blood! Brian you ask, “what more do they want?” A pound of flesh you “pious little Catholic!” (As Brian has previously been defined) We love our enemies but we eat fellow Christians for lunch. I imagine Jesus is so proud of the displays we put forth on this forum. We sure show the world what Christian love is all about. Rejoice, we caused a pious little Catholic to cry uncle, because he buys what his church leadership tells him. | ||||||

After reading what you said about prosperity and seed time and harvest I now know Paul and the disciples were idiots. Instead of taking an offering for Jerusalem Act 11:28 they should have went to Jerusalem and taken a seed offering and the Christians in Jerusalem would have had all the money they needed. Ask yourself one question why aren't any of the Christians in Haiti rich? That kind of preaching only preaches one place in the richest country in the world the US, to people gullible enough to make these preachers rich. Check the facts see how much money these preachers get and from where? You will find they get untold riches and it comes from the pockets of gullible Christians. This is not to say God does not provision us, because he does. He word is clear He will give us what we need to accomplish what He has given us to do. However He never said He would make us rich or give us everything we want. To do that would cause us to become fat, spoiled and useless. As far as divine healing absolutely God heals today, not because of Isaiah 53:5 which is talking about spiritual healing, but rather because of the promise in James 5:14-15. God is our physician and our healer. However all these guys that claim healing ministries should put up or shut up. If they can heal let them close down the hospitals, Aids clinics, and cancer wards. The first thing they say is you have to have faith and people in those places don’t have the faith. The signs and wonders was given to convince the unbeliever not the as entertainment for believers. Kimberly you would benefit yourself to turn off TBN and some of these guys you mentioned. |

Well said Hank! I would like to ask this question, I have asked this question before, why does the Bible Study Forum always have to turn into a debate. If you have an opinion why can’t it be stated as such with out referencing someone else’s. If I see something as green and say that. Why can’t someone else say I see it as red? Instead of saying, your wrong it is red, my experts say it is red, a random opinion poll says it is red therefore any one that says it is green is a heretic. Another approach would be you see it as green? I see it as red, tell me why you see as green? Heaven forbid some of us might even learn something that way. The only reason I see for turning this forum into an open debate or a free for all is when an opinion expressed violates what is understood to be orthodoxy Christianity. I also think each of us need to realize we are standing in a glass house of one kind or another before we start pitching rocks. Each of us have hang ups, prejudices, beliefs, crusades, soap boxes, opinions, and most of all egos. Before we respond to a person, before we attack or put down someone else we need to examine what is motivating us to do it. Is our position that much different or that much more defendable than theirs or are we just viewing it to be such. As a third party observer of many threads in this forum, I have seen many cases where neither side has had all that great of a defendable position. Lastly I think each of us need to realize we stand with two buckets, one filled with water and the other filled with gasoline. When we see temperatures rise, when a inflammatory statement is made, an opposing opinion given we can respond one of two ways. We can throw our bucket of gas on the situation and cause a heated debate or we can throw our bucket of water on the situation and bring the temperature of the discussion down. I think we all need to become firemen. |

I would like a KJV person to tell me they knew what was going on in ACTS 27:15-21 without having it explained or reading it in a commentary. We just don't use those words anymore who knew "helps" meant cables, and they were trying to bring in a skiff, and they where afraid of being stuck in the Sytris sandbar off the coast of Africa? And I still don't know if they put the sail up or down. | ||||||

stpopoola Reread what you posted there are no quotes! If in fact you are what you say you are then I do indeed owe you an apology. As far as a warm welcome you got a far more cordial welcome than I would have had I said the same things about Mohammed in the Islamic forum. That is no excuse but understand in the last few weeks we have had people of Islam try to spread their false teaching in the forum and yours appeared to be another attempt. If you are in fact seeking information then search on Islam in the quick search box and you will find more than enough information to supply your friend. If still need more information or an answer to another question come back restate your question and let me or someone else take a crack at answering it. Sorry for the mix up. Ed |

Hank! Your beginning to talk funny! You sound just like this great big black book my grandmother had sitting open on the table in her foyer. I thought it was something that was in their water because Grandma's preacher spoke just like that when he asked the blessing on the food when we visited at Thanksgiving. Better check your water brother! | ||||||
