601 | Do you think US has these people? | 2 Tim 3:5 | prayon | 24690 | ||
coop1, It is in the human nature to want to kill someone who has wronged you so deeply as OBL has done to us. It is also human nature to "follow the crowd". Many people who are doing the "chanting" are doing it because everyone else is doing it. These are both the results of Adam taking a bite of the apple 6000 years ago. And it will get worse. The bible has been quite clear on that. Let me ask you a question - when the going gets rough in your personal life do you give up on God or start doubting him? The United States has taken a strong blow from some very evil men, and she has staggered a bit, but she will come out of this proud. What your son is partaking in is defending God and the right to honor God - and it didn't just become very evil and sinister. What is happening here is a war in spiritual places because Satan knows his time is about up. America had to go to war and I stand beside her 100 percent! I am not proud of some of the people in this country but I am proud of America! America is defending the right to be free to worship the way God has called us to worship not only for us Americans but for others as well. America is defending the right to "feed the poor". America is taking a stand in defending women and widows and orphans who should not be abused and disregarded but who should be loved and cared for. America is defending what the country was built upon - one nation under God, indivisible, with LIBERTY and justice for all. And to some that will mean the right to worship idols and false gods. But if America withdrew from this war or had never started it just where would we be? Probably being beaten for not worshiping Allah. How would we witness for our Lord then? prayon - a veteran |

604 | Significance of Ps 51 | Psalm | prayon | 23788 | ||
Hello Chuiren! There are a few lessons that can be learned from this Psalm. The main one, I believe is that it tells us that no sin is too great to be forgiven. God can and will forgive us for any sin if we just ask Him. He may not, however, remove the consequences - like He did not in David's case. In addition when ever we sin, we sin against God. All sin hurts us and hurts others but the ultimate sin is against God. Sin, in any form, is a rebellion against God. When we sin we need to ask God to cleanse us from the outside in. "Create in me a clean heart, O God". We can not become closer to God when sin seperates us from Him. In addition, we can never please God by outward actions if the attitude in our heart is not right. As things sit we tend to forget about them that is why we need to ask forgiveness for a sin then and there. Another thing to watch for is moving one thing and covering it up with another. You must clean the first spot first. Godly behavior can only come from a clean heart. It also tells us to teach what we have learned and God's forgiveness so that we can reach out to others who are lost and hurting and tell them about God's goodness. prayon |

605 | Is iT possible to live without sin? | Rom 6:2 | prayon | 23619 | ||
Greetings! No, we can not live without sin. Romans 3:23 states that we all fall short of the glory of God. Since until we reach heaven we all live in fleshly bodies we will succumb to certain fleshly desires. I don't believe in "entire sanctification" as Sir Pent mentioned. The only time that that would be possible in my opinion is after we reach heaven. Until then we must all pray and ask forgiveness for one thing or another. Psalm 143:2b states that no one apart from God is perfect, and to be sin free would be to be perfect. prayon | ||||||

607 | What Is the verse about Ten Fold | Mark 4:8 | prayon | 23617 | ||
Greetings Mspaularene, I am unable to find anything in the concordance that talks about tenfold either. Whhat kind of "things" were you talking about that come back tenfold? Maybe that will help me to answer your question. prayon | ||||||
608 | how did God use davids sins of adultery | 2 Samuel | prayon | 22436 | ||
Greetings! God used David's sins to give us a great lesson. That even great men who were as respected as David fall short of the glory of God. But He also showed us that when we ask for forgiveness we will be forgiven although that does not mean that we will not have to suffer the consequesnces of sin like David and Bathsheba did when they lost their first child. prayon |

609 | 3 things that are a must for ministers | Titus 1:7 | prayon | 22146 | ||
Greetings loveforHim! The first and most important thing is that you are called by God to be a minister. Next, you must have a Godly nature, you must be able to walk the walk - be a lover of goodness, and be upright, humble. Finally, you must have a firm grasp on the Word of God so that you can shepherd your flock and teach them in the ways of God. prayon |

610 | Is is right to call money a seed? | NT general Archive 1 | prayon | 21813 | ||
In the parable of the four soils Jesus tells us about sowing seeds. I believe this is where it comes from. When you give money to a ministry it will grow just as when you plant a seed and nuture it it will grow. Many pastors now use the term of sowing seeds into a ministry. prayon | ||||||
611 | What about the Silent Prayer II | Bible general Archive 1 | prayon | 21806 | ||
I think that the reason we are in this situation is because we have not been praying at all. Proverbs 24:12 says that God can read our mind and knows our thoughts. I agree we usually ask for things verbally because other people can not read our mind - but our Father can. He knows our thoughts before we do. Some people can not stay focused in prayer, that would be a good reason for praying out loud but you don't have to pray out loud for your prayers to be heard. prayon | ||||||
612 | A woman of discretion embraces - | 1 Peter | prayon | 21798 | ||
smileysue, First Peter tells us that we must be submissive to the unbelieving husband so that he may be won over by our actions. Paul goes on to tell us in 1Cor 7:12-16 that we are not to divorce the unbelieving spouse because the husband is made holy through the believing wife and vice versa. In Isaiah 3 I dont believe you can count how many items they had. What the author was stressing was that the women of Judah had placed their emphasis on clothing and jewelry rather than God. They dressed to be noticed, to gain approval and to be fashionable. They were being self centered and self serving. smileysue, when you have quetions about more than 1 passage please put it in 2 different questions. It makes it easier to give a better answer. Thanks prayon |

613 | Receive Spirit with salvation or later? | Acts 2:38 | prayon | 21795 | ||
Greetings rdupont! Yes we must ask for the Holy spirit. We do this when we ask forgiveness for our sins and ask to be baptized. The Fathers gift at our baptism is the gift of the Holy Spirit. prayon | ||||||
614 | What about the Silent Prayer | Matt 6:5 | prayon | 21791 | ||
Greetings Onerichwoman! I know of no scripture in the bible that says we must pray verbally. Prayer can be in any form, verbal or silent. I was told once, although I don't have a scripture for it, when you pray outloud Satan can hear your prayer; but when you pray silently he can not. Matt 6:5-6 says that we are to enter into our prayer closet and pray in secret. Luke 18:1 and 1Thes 5:17 states we are to pray continuously - I don't think we would be praying out loud continuously. Sorry but I believe prayer can be said silently. Is there a scripture that you believe said we are to always pray verbally? prayon | ||||||
615 | Can Animals Think? | Ps 32:9 | prayon | 21421 | ||
Greetings, This verse does not refer to animals being able to think but rather to some people being stubborn as mules rather than letting God guide them step by step. The bit and bridle refers to God having to discipline them somewhat like you use a bit in a mules mouth to guide it. Some people leave God only one option, if He wants to keep them useful to Him, He must use discipline and punishment. prayon | ||||||
616 | Gen.3:15 | Gen 3:15 | prayon | 21419 | ||
The phrase "you will strike his heel" refers to Satan's repeated attempts to defeat Christ during His life on earth. "He will strike your head" foreshadows Satan's defeat when Christ rose from the dead. A strike on the heel is not deadly but a strike on the head is. Already God was revealing His plan to defeat Satan and offer salvation to the world through His son Jesus. (Life Application Bible) prayon | ||||||
617 | On Harry Potter? | Bible general Archive 1 | prayon | 21347 | ||
PART ONE: Throughout history Satan has consistently enticed mankind into his dark, supernatural realm. Although sometimes subtly occultism such as witchcraft is undoubtedly infiltrating and often capturing the masses today. The occult is actually the very crux of the rebellion that the vast majority of today's entertainment world is peddling today. We recognize that the enemy love's to sidetrack not only us but the church in general. He often uses well meaning people to accomplish this purpose. Our children find their entertainment inundated with the occult practices, extreme violence and heroes such as the fictional boy-wizard Harry Potter. M. K. Rowlings is the author of the Harry Potter series. She has signed a contract to write 7 books in he series and has warned us that each one will become progressively darker. She has also intimated that some of the scenes in the books were taken from real life experiences she has had. In books 2 and 3 were a disembodied voice repeatedly hissing "kill"; a monstrous, flesh eating spiders; children being attacked and paralyzed and an apparently dead cant hung upside down by its tail. (I wonder how many children have already tried to do that to cats?) In book 4 the evil character cuts up Harry's arm to extract blood in order to bring the most evil character back to life. (This is an occult practice done to supposedly pass mystic power from one person to another during some occult rituals). It is also interesting to note that Harry Potter has an odd birthmark on his forehead in the shape of a lightning bolt. The lightning bolt has long been a symbol of power in the occult and Satanism. You can now buy an assortment of items such as capes. magic hats, wands, and fake tattoos, each one designed to emulate Harry Potter. The items are called the starter kit for future witches and warlocks. In a Harry Potter birthday kit you can enroll your child in Hogwart Wizard School, battle a Basilisk (a legendary 14th century reptile with fatal breath and glance), practice Quidditch (a game invented for the series that utilizes levitation by another name, and take a class on magic potions! He's a charmer, that Harry Potter. He even has modern day witches enchanted too. A 39 year old computer programmer from Canada, who has been a practicing witch for more than 25 years, (that would of made him 14 when he started), stated " For once the witches aren't ugly old hags, for once they're the protagonists rather than the villians". Most people are unfortunetly ignorant of where the road really leads. Our casual acceptance of the philosophies all around us can short circuit nearly every part of our Christian walk and can certainly derail our ability to stave off spiritual attacks. We have become increasingly tolerant of witchcraft and other occult practices in our society. Show such as "Bewitched" and "Sabrina the teenage Witch" taught us to do more than just tolerate witchcraft. They promoted and encouraged it. Above all, it worked subtly on our senses teaching us to accept it as the norm. Just as a person who is poisoned a little bit at a time doesn't die after the first dose, in the end after enough "doses" our ability to recognize the evil began to shut down and we were doomed. By the time we realized what was really happening we had become too weak to climb out and soon became the delicacy on the Devil's dinner plate. By giving ungodly entertainment our time, mind, money, or emotion, even though we are not involved physically, is the same as if we were actually participating. In Romans 1:32 Paul states this: Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same but have pleasure in them that do them. The Full Life Study Bible explains it like this: "Being entertained by watching other people sin and engage in ungodly actions, even while you yourself abstain, brings you under the same divine condemnation as those engaging in such evil practices...Those who use the immoral actions of others for entertainment and enjoyment are directly contributing to public opinion favorable to immorality and therefore to the corruption and eternal damnation of an indefinite number of other people." It is also spiritually damaging to allow these influences a place in our lives and homes. Entire households are weakened and can lose their spiritual battles because of the actions, attitudes, and even physical possessions of one member (see 1 Sam 15). PLEASE SEE PART 2 |

618 | Why do people lose interest and leave? | Bible general Archive 1 | prayon | 21232 | ||
Sir Pent, I have been here since near the beginning. I have stayed although there have been times when I have been fed up and wanted to leave. I have stayed, though, for a few reasons. One is because of the friends I have met here. The main reason though is because I believe that the forum has the ability to reach baby Christians or those knocking on Christs door who truly want to know what the bible says/means. There is such a tremendous opportunity here to witness to those who want to know and are questioning what the Lord expects of them. I do get frustrated and upset at some of the things that appear on the forum sometimes, but just as I told Hank many times we can expect problems - if we didn't have any then we would know that Satan was not worried about what is happening on the forum. When we get upset we need to take some deep breaths - maybe a day or two - and then get right back with it because through this forum the word of God is being spread and peoples lives are changing. prayon | ||||||
619 | Why was Judas' kiss needed? | Matt 26:48 | prayon | 21230 | ||
Greetings SpreadWord! A kiss can be a sign of affection, salutation, or worship. Kissing was one of the many signs of greeting in the ancient near east. The "Holy Kiss" of the epistles is simply the traditional kiss of greeting. For a teacher to greet his teacher as 'Rabbi' and kiss him was a common practice; but Judas dispciably, used these tokens of love as an instrument of betrayal. prayon | ||||||
620 | Please clarify Samuel 18:10. | 1 Sam 18:10 | prayon | 20902 | ||
If you refer back to 1 Sam 16:14 it gives a little bit of an idea. The Life Application Bible Commentary reads as thus: What was this spirit the Lord sent? Perhaps Saul was simply depressed. Or perhaps the Holy Spirit had left Saul and God allowed an evil spirit to torment him as judgement for his disobedience, (this would demonstrate God's power over the spirit world, 1Kings 22:19-23). Either way Saul was driven to insanity, which led him to attempt to murder David. prayon | ||||||
