521 | Elders anointing sick with oil. | James 5:14 | Pastor Glenn | 63699 | ||
justme, I think the anointing with oil is an act of faith as in the following scriptures: Acts 5:15 so that they brought the sick out into the streets and laid them on beds and couches, that at least the shadow of Peter passing by might fall on some of them. Mark 6:56 Wherever He entered, into villages, cities, or the country, they laid the sick in the marketplaces, and begged Him that they might just touch the hem of His garment. And as many as touched Him were made well. I think some pastors may feel that it is not right to get peoples hopes up and their loved ones should die anyway. Well, I feel that we should come to God in faith and leave it up to Him to heal or not: Jonah 3:8But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily to God; yes, let every one turn from his evil way and from the violence that is in his hands. 9Who can tell if God will turn and relent, and turn away from His fierce anger, so that we may not perish?

EdB, Again, you say you "...learned of the Catholic take on James 5 I said to myself how in the world do they come to that conclusion??? ". Is it the laying on of hands, the anointing with oil, or the death bed confessions that you find interesting? The thief on the cross was essentially a death bed confession. Some people resist until the end before they accept Jesus: Psalms 51:7Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. 8Make me hear joy and gladness, That the bones You have broken may rejoice. 17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit, A broken and a contrite heart-- These, O God, You will not despise. Notice "...bones You have broken ..." and "broken and a contrite heart..." here. Also: 1 Corinthians 5 4In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when you are gathered together, along with my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, 5deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.[1] 2 Corinthians 12:7 And lest I should be exalted above measure by the abundance of the revelations, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I be exalted above measure. What do you think of these scriptures? Pastor Glenn |

EdB, I am glad that you were not offended. Is it death bed confessions that interest you? What is there about last Rites that stands out? Pastor Glenn |

I appologize EdB, I always beleived in praying for physical healing even for the terminally ill. King David prayed for Bathsheba's baby to live for several days, but he accepted it well when the baby died anyway. Death bed confessions seem far easier to accept then the sudden death of a loved one. I am sorry for offending you with my ignorant remarks. God Bless, Pastor Glenn |

EdB, I have no thoughts on last Rites for someone still living. But, if they are already dead and the Catholic church tries to raise the dead, then no one should try to stop them if they pray in the name of Jesus Christ. However, "Hail Mary mother of God..." will not work. It says pray over him, anointing him with oil "in the Lord's name" not "in the Lord's mother's name. [ :-) ] You probably mean praying someone out of Purgatory. In this case they need to find a scripture that says "Is anyone among you *dead*? Then *he* must call for the elders ...". After the dead guy calls for the elders then someone will probably need to stop them from running away first... Pastor Glenn |

sarajrae, Here is a good starting scripture: James 5:13 Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing psalms. 14Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. 15And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. 16Confess your trespasses[5] to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. 17Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain; and it did not rain on the land for three years and six months. 18And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth produced its fruit. If you have a reference bible (If you do it will say "Reference Bible" on the edge of the cover), you should learn how to find the references listed for each verse. This will lead you to more related scriptures where you can repeat the process of following more references. Otherwise, you should learn to use the search features of this web site.

528 | I'm looking for scripture to help answer | Rom 1:20 | Pastor Glenn | 63650 | ||
hadensville, This question seems to always keep popping back up. The bible is not just "a" book. It is a library collection of 66 books that were written over a period of over 1400 years, by over 40 different secretaries many of whom were willing to give their lives rather than change their story. For they did not write with the motivation to make themselves "look good" or to profit on an amazing new story. The bible is also totally historical. There is the dead sea scrolls, as well as, the presence of "hostile" witnesses that cannot be refuted. See the following links: http://www.ibiblio.org/expo/deadsea.scrolls.exhibit/Library/library.html http://www.westarkchurchofchrist.org/library/extrabiblical.htm http://www.answersingenesis.org/docs2001/1224christmas.asp The problem is not that there is a lack of historical, scientific, or natural evidence. The problem is as stated in the scriptures: Romans 1:20 For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities–his eternal power and divine nature–have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse. God Bless, Pastor Glenn |

Emmaus, Here are some scriptures relating to God creating man. Gen 1:31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day. Ecc 12:13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. Heb 2:6 But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man that thou visitest him? Heb 2:7 Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands: Revelation 4:11 Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created. Before the fall, man did not "require" grace. Man did receive unmirited favor, in that man did not do anything to deserve honour and glory. Grace was due to God's pleasure. But, after the fall we do "require" grace so that God can give us time to repent of our sins and come to beleive in the name of the only begotten Son of God. God Bless, Pastor Glenn |

Oh, sorry Emmaus, Please excuse my barging in on this thread. I thought that biblically God's "grace" was defined as His "undeserved favour" towards us. Am I wrong? If I am misdirecting the question please just ignore me or correct me here. Pastor Glenn |

Beensetfree, I would define spiritual death as the death of ones spiritual nature. Why would grace or justification be necessary for Adam and Eve before they sinned? Adam and Eve were made with both a spiritual and physical nature. The spiritual nature was born of the Spirit of God when God breath into his nostrils the breath of life. This is why we must be born again (John 3). For Adam and Eve, They died spiritually (their spiritual nature), but had the same opportunity as any man to be reborn spiritually. Though, we are all appointed to die physically. This is my understanding, Pastor Glenn |

justme, Daniel 12 sounds interesting: Dan 12:8 And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things? Dan 12:9 And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end. Dan 12:10 Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand. Even the great prophet Daniel wanted to know more. God Bless, Pastor Glenn |

EdB, Well said. So far, America seems to have simularities between both the eagle's wings and the prostitute that says: "Revelation 18:7 How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow." Why is there a warning for God's people?: Revelation 18:4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. Some people focus only on the Anti-Christ or on the beast. I think the key will be to focus on all of the characters in the prophecy. Every word is important: Mat 5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Mat 24:35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. Again, here is the quote from 1 Cor 13: 1Cor 13:9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part. 10But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away. 11When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things. 12For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known. God Bless Pastor Glenn |

EdB, Sorry, but the woman here IS clearly Israel. The "... wings of a great eagle ..." is what COULD represent the US in helping Israel to become a nation again. 1 Corinthians 13 12For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known. God Bless, Pastor Glenn |

Welcome to the forum Chinwe, Rev 12:13 Now when the dragon saw that he had been cast to the earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male Child. 14But the woman was given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness to her place, where she is nourished for a time and times and half a time, from the presence of the serpent. 15So the serpent spewed water out of his mouth like a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away by the flood. 16But the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed up the flood which the dragon had spewed out of his mouth. 17And the dragon was enraged with the woman, and he went to make war with the rest of her offspring, who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.[2] The "...the woman was given two wings of a great eagle..." (verse 14) could represent the USA, since the Eagle is the national symbol. The USA also help Israel become a nation again in their own land after the dragon tried to destroy all Jews in the holocaust. Gen 25:22But the children struggled together within her; and she said, "If all is well, why am I like this?" So she went to inquire of the LORD. 23And the LORD said to her: "Two nations are in your womb, Two peoples shall be separated from your body; One people shall be stronger than the other, And the older shall serve the younger." Some Arabs are descended from Esau, while others are descended from Ishmael. Genesis 17:20 And as for Ishmael, I have heard you. Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly. He shall beget twelve princes, and I will make him a great nation. Hope this helps, Pastor Glenn |

537 | more outstanding Hebrew scriptures? | Is 53:1 | Pastor Glenn | 63150 | ||
Wow Searcher, That site is Excellent! Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. God Bless, Pastor Glenn |

538 | more outstanding Hebrew scriptures? | Is 53:1 | Pastor Glenn | 63095 | ||
In addition to Isaiah 53, Psalm 2, and Psalm 110, are there more outstanding Hebrew scriptures for searching Jews? I see these as outstanding because they readily show that no one else in history could possibly fulfil these prophecies of the Messiah except Jesus Christ. They thereby, link the old testament with the new testament. God Bless, Pastor Glenn |

Justme, I am not sure that I can ever truly finish thinking about these things and all of the implications. This may be a reason why God made us in this physical world, while He is of spiritual nature. We must all leave our physical nature behind since flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God. God Bless, Pastor Glenn |

Very interesting Ray, This is quit a bit to ponder. It is also certain that God shows mercy far beyond what men would show to others: Isaiah 55: 6Seek the LORD while He may be found, Call upon Him while He is near. 7Let the wicked forsake his way, And the unrighteous man his thoughts; Let him return to the LORD, And He will have mercy on him; And to our God, For He will abundantly pardon. 8"For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways," says the LORD. 9"For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts. God Bless, Pastor Glenn |
