501 | Please explain James 1:2 | Rom 5:1 | lionheart | 141172 | ||
Hello miss ann and good morning. I go to this verse a lot. I dont know anyone thats happy when they are facing major challenges to there faith. But notice in the very next verse how James says that the testing of your faith produces endurance.(stedfastness)Even when things are hard we can still have joy. Read Romans 5:1-5 Paul tells us what we have because of our faith in Jesus Christ. We have peace with God. Paul tells us that we stand in Gods Grace. So no matter what may come our way,because we place our faith in Jesus Christ we can have joy we can have peace. God will not disappoint us. We dont have to let anything steal our joy.

502 | Salvation is a gift to be accepted | Luke 6:46 | lionheart | 141093 | ||
I think one thing we all need to keep in mind at this point is that what Jesus Christ did at calvary was a one time thing. He only had to die once,Ro 6:10. Why would we wanna put Jesus back on the cross? When Jesus died on the cross he satisfied Gods rightious requirement for our sin. He took the death penalty for us. Now with all this in mind lets see what we will see. We all blow it on a daily basis to be sure. Do we lose our salvation once we have it, I dont know,But these things I do know,1.When we sin we we break fellowship with God. Ja 5:16 1Jn 1:9 It is encumbant on us to deal with our sin.Thats why we confess our sin to God and each other.This is something we better be doing every day,because my brothers and sisters Iknow I fall short everyday. The key is we dont have to continue in our sin, thats why I gotta get on my knees before God every day. We can turn away from God, we can walk away from him. Heb 6:4-6 If one willfully chooses to stay in their sin they crucify Christ all over again. 1Jn1:8,10 If we say we dont sin it says the truth is not in us and we make God out to be a liar. Some pretty stark contrasts here dont you think. Every last one of us better be sure that what we beleive and teach lines up with what Gods Word says. What ever resides in our heart is what we will teach others. Lets make sure we help people make it to heaven and not hell. Love you guys. lionheart. |

503 | Did God experience what human did in O.T | Gen 6:6 | lionheart | 141078 | ||
God has always been familiar with and relatable to us.Read Gen6:6. We serve a personal God. I firmly beleive in my heart that when God created man he created man with the desire to have a people he could and would call his own and a people who would walk with him. Genesis tells us that Enoch walked with God. David is the only one in the Bible that is refered to as a man after Gods own heart. So yes I do beleive that God has always felt what we do. The difference being he is sinnless we are not. God has never been a stranger to what we go through and never will be. In Christ lionheart |

504 | history of Mary Magdalene? | NT general Archive 1 | lionheart | 141070 | ||
Hello Precious J,welcome to the forum. Eveything you will find regarding Mary Magdalene in the Bible will be found in the Gospels. After the Gospels there is no further reference to Mary Magdalene. The Gospels paint a pretty good picture of who she was and her involvment in the scheme of things. Hope this helps. In Christ lionheart |

505 | Does all scripture mean the same to all | Bible general Archive 2 | lionheart | 141045 | ||
Hi karen c I was reading your question and want to make sure I'm not barking up the wrong tree. 2PT 1:20 (KJV) No prophecy of scripture is of any private interpretation. The meanning doesnt change. Gods Word must be allowed to speak for itself. As situations change application can change. EXAMPLE: A hammer is used to pound things, in one apllication it may be used to drive a nail,the next time you may use that hammer to straighten something etc. etc. I hope this isnt too primitive.

506 | Judas Betrayed Jesus. His Brother? | Matt 13:55 | lionheart | 141040 | ||
Not in this case. Jesus did have a brother named Judas. When refering to the Judas who betrayed Jesus they are talking about Judas Iscariot. God Bless lionheart |

507 | Do you control your thoughts? | NT general Archive 1 | lionheart | 140712 | ||
SHARMAN4U, Hang in there you are not without hope Satan can exert powerful influence over people. There are a number of references to those afflicted or possesed by demons and unclean spirits. Satan can bring all kinds of stuff our way. But we are not helpless.2Tim 1:7 says For God has not given us a spirit of timidity,but of power,and love,and discipline. 1Peter 1:13 tells us to prepare our minds for action. We do this by keeping our focus on God and submitting ourselves to him. Ja 4:7 tells us to to resist the devil and it says hes gotta go. Ro 12:2 Tells us to be transformed by the renewing of our minds. WE do that by spending time with God in prayer and in his Word everyday. Satan will throw all kinds of junk at us,but by the power of God we can fight. Eph6:10,11,12. Remember Col 1:27 It's Christ in you the hope of Glory. You and God make a majority in any situation. Stay tight with the body you'll be fine. Your brother in Christ lionheart |

508 | Was Lucifer in charge of music in heaven | 2 Cor 11:14 | lionheart | 140670 | ||
Interesting question.I didnt find anything to that affect. I will need to do further research. 2 Corinthians 11:14 Paul makes reference to Satan as masquerarading as an angel of light. This could be an indicator of his position before he was cast out. Iam not onehundred percent sure on the last part though. Maybe you or others could shed some light on this for me.

509 | do we have to give tith? | Gen 14:20 | lionheart | 140595 | ||
farzaneh hello! It's not do we have to give our tithe. It's a matter of heart. In the Old Testament Gods people are directed to give there tithe. Read Ge 14:20,28:22 Le27:30, 2Chr 31:5,Mal 3:10 All these verses address the giving of the tithe. Lets forward to the time of Jesus. While Jesus is the fullfillment of the law. We gotta understand that there are things that were not discontinued. Our tithe being one of them. It's a matter of heart. Mk 13:41-43 The Widow gave every thing she had.That was her heart,not the requirement of the law. God is not asking you to give everything,but check your heart. Everything we have belongs to God in the first place. 2Cor 9:7 purpose in your heart what you can and are willing to do and go to God with it. Then stand by it and watch how much God will bless you. But do it because want not because you have to. God will always take care of you. Phil4:19 God will supply all your need. God isn't a scrooge. You wont be disappointed. Your brother in Christ lionheart |

510 | salvation for demons? | Lev 18:25 | lionheart | 140583 | ||
In response to Angel, 1 Peter 4:6 refers to those who have died. Rev 12:7-9 2 Peter 2:4 Refer to Satan and his angels. 2 Peter 2:4 Says that those angels,Satans angels,those who followed Satan in rebelion were cast into hell and await judgment. I know when I was a kid I would asks myself at times that if he could forgive me why he would'nt forgive them. Isaiah 14:13,14 makes it pretty clear why that will never happen. It's just that it's not in the character of the devil or his minions to ever turn back to God. God being God knew that. Thus thats why 2 Peter 2:4. We are not God and we need Jesus Christ,thats the message we gotta carry to the world. If the lost are left to there own devices they will beleive the same lie Satan and his angels tryed to perpetrate against God. Thats what got them where they are now. I hope this fires you up. |

511 | What is considered an Idol | Bible general Archive 2 | lionheart | 140574 | ||
Noveta Hi! Worldly people and sometimes Gods people will call the things of God into question. To the unsaved the cross means nothing,But to those who are being saved as Paul states in 1Cor 1:17,18 it is the power of God. The cross is a constant reminder to what Jesus did for us. Idolitry is anything that takes first place ahead of God. God wants first place in our lives. Mtt6:33 Deut 6:5 God wants all of us not just part of us. 1Jn3:21 Says that if our heart doesnt condemn us we have confidence before God. So if you can have a clear conscience dont fret what people will tell you just keep your focus on God and his Word and pray lots. In the end it's what God says that carries the weight. Read Romans chapter 14. Paul adresses matters of the conscience and things that we could call disputable. Read that I think it will help put your heart at ease. Your Brother in Christ lionheart |

512 | Hebrew Greek Scholar question ? | Mark 5:9 | lionheart | 140522 | ||
Well lets give this one a shot. I'm no greek/hebrew scholar by any means. I know enough to stumble through my exhaustive concordance and Greek/English concordance. Lets see now. Important to know that at this time and you more than likely already know this that greek was pretty much at this time a universal language and with fact that the Roman empire encompassed the former Greek empire it would be a fair guess that greek would be the main form of communication throughout the Roman empire. I presume you are refering to the 12,forgive me if I'm not correct on this. Lets assume that at a minimum they understood the greek and spoke enough to get by and because of there upbring and education in the Torah Hebrew or Aramaic would not be a stumbling block to them. So lets take stab at this.In the greek its spelled almost exactly as it's pronounced. Where as in the Hebrew it's pronounced lasan(TO SLANDER) there is lassaron, lesa which transelates to sharon or belonging to sharon. So looking at the two it's a maybe but not likely.But like I said I am by no means an authority I can figure out enough to get me through a simple Word study, but thats about it. I hope this helps and doesn't cause to much confusion. But I learned a few things myself. Thanx for the opportunity to learn some things I didn't know. In Christ; lionheart |

Brother my heart goes out to you. I've been where your at now.I'm relatable to what you must be going through.I can tell you this though Right now there is nothing profitable in this for anyone. It's hard but you gotta let go of this one.(2Cor6:14-18) Pray alot and gaurd your heart. (Phil4:6,7) God will give you the best but you gotta put him first. (Mtt6:33) God only intends the best for his people (Ro8:28,Jer29:11-14.)Get in there with the brothers and get lots of advice.(Pr11:14, 13:10,15:22,24:6)The most loving thing you can do for her now is to give her over to God and let God do what he needs to do.Get this person with sisters who are strong in the Lord and let them work with her. Stand down and see what God will do. My brother I'm in your corner and will lifting you to God. If there is any way I can be of help or encouragement please let me know. Maybe we can find another way to make contact and we can talk and pray together. In Christ lionheart |

514 | are we free? | Rev 3:16 | lionheart | 140487 | ||
Kevin my brother in Christ the law of the land or societies standards have little to do with our freedom. It's the Christ in you (Col1:27) that makes you truly free. It's an inside job. You got your freedom when you made Jesus Christ Lord and Savior. Read Romans 8. Our strength and confidence come from God. My brother pray every day and strive to make Gods Word your own .(2Tim2:15) Stay strong my brother. Yours in Christ lionheart |

515 | Who's worthy of the offering? | Prov 3:9 | lionheart | 140471 | ||
It's always important that when we are giving be it our tithe or what we do beyond our tithe to remember that ultimately we are giving to God. 2Cor9:5-7 When it comes to this it's a matter of heart. Brother make sure you are supporting the fellowship to which you belong.Beyond that walk in wisdom and allow God to guide your heart. |
