61 | Spiritual Maturity and Marriage | Matt 6:33 | GeorJoy | 93669 | ||
If they have researched their duties as husband and wife, and they sincerely desire to live and walk in the Spirit, all else will, without a doubt come naturally. They can only strengthen and uplift one another. 1Co 7:3 Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband. The more mature female will, if by example alone, strengthen and guide the male. If she sees where he is failing, and they are mature in Christ, they will be able to discuss such matters. They will also learn to agree to disagree in a Godly fashion. Mat 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. God bless George |

63 | What 'syour opinion on original question | Matthew | GeorJoy | 93654 | ||
Chusarcik, you seem to be very intent on getting an acceptiable answer to this question. Personally, I think it's a waste of time worrying about it. If it was a question concerning Salvation or how to please our Lord in our daily walk, or how better to serve our brother in deliverance of the Living Word, then it would worth it all. This post puts me in mind of someone sitting at the dinner table staring at a delicious 3 layer cake, not eating it, but continuously asking the question, why is it that chocolate is dark, rather than light in color? My Lord man! Get in there and eat. You may get your answer while you are eating, otherwise, someone else is liable to eat the thing while you're sitting there scratching your head... If understanding came before acceptance, there would be very little that man would ever accept. If you are already a believer, give it a rest. If it is important enough, the Spirit will eventually show you the answer. I have gotten answers after 30 years. I had totally forgotten the question till the answer arrived. Think of all you are missing where the Word is concerned while you are wasting time on this particular matter. Good luck and may God richly Bless you on your quest. George |

64 | Must we observe the law of God? | Bible general Archive 2 | GeorJoy | 93542 | ||
Bingo! If you follow the commandment Jesus gave in Mat 22:39, you will automatically adhear to the law. Think about it... Mat 22:36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law? Mat 22:37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. Mat 22:38 This is the first and great commandment. Mat 22:39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. |

65 | do you pay tithe on loan money | Bible general Archive 2 | GeorJoy | 93540 | ||
Scripture states that we should tithe all our "gain." Considering the fact that you are going to pay back a loan, it is not "gain." A gift, or earned interest would be gain, but not something borrowed. The very fact that you asked this question indicates that you are following the right path, that inner voice, the gut feeling, THE SPIRIT. I'd say that you already had a good idea what the correct answer was. If so, learn to follow that Spirit, "walk in the Spirit." You will NEVER go wrong if you do. God Bless |

67 | Any more information on this? | Matthew | GeorJoy | 93254 | ||
Concerning 1 Pe 3:19; Most likely this is a reference to the preincarnate Christ's preaching through Noah to those, who because they rejected the message are now spirits in prison. There are many views on this point. That is just what they are "views," for there is no scriptural foundation (that I have found) to support anything other than ones own interpritation. George |

68 | How to "win the world" ? | Bible general Archive 2 | GeorJoy | 93248 | ||
Mommapbs, are you from this country? Or are you simply noting a broader field of vision on your part. Surely you are not like myself, for I have only within the past year started going to Church on a regular basis. Such as you have noted kept me out of the House of God for the majority of my life. Even though I knew that the word warns not to forsake the assembly, I felt before that I just didn't fit the mold; that I didn't conform to the old fashioned way, and that I could be just as good a Christian without Church as long as I continued in the word. When I finally started going to the House of God on a regular basis, I determined that I was there strictly for my spiritual nourishment, not for the people or to conform to their mold but for my "spiritual nourishment and preparation" to do what ALL CHRISTIANS "should" do; serve, witness, plant, and nourish the crop, in preparation for the harvest, which as many before me have also said, I believe the harvest surely must come soon. In my local Churchs, I first noticed that there is no “altar call.” Not as I remember it anyway. I now notice that even those whom I consider the most spiritually gifted preachers (in the pulpit,) appear to be “only doing a job.” After normal working hours (Church services,) there seems little in the department of leadership when a brother or sister needs and even requests such. I’m not saying that they don’t seem to be spiritually capable, just that there seems to be little sincere concern for the brethren, and much concern that they (the giver) will be stabed in the back. I should and will say that worldly conformity would eventually distroy the Church and make the true Christians rebels and outlaws, were it not for the fact that our Lord will reap the harvest before that happens. In Christ George |

69 | Who wrote the King James Version? | Bible general Archive 2 | GeorJoy | 93009 | ||
2Ti 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 2Ti 3:17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works. King James sent out 47 scollars back in 1611 to compile the various original "scrolls." They compiled the KJV and translated it into "that days terminology," which was and is perfect English.

71 | if i get a christain tattoo is it sin? | OT general | GeorJoy | 92788 | ||
Consider this: Leviticus is one of the 5 books of the Law. Are we, who have accepted our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, under the Law? No. Personally, I George, feel that it is between the individual and the Lord. Keep in mind however that a tatto is perminant, (or nearly, anyway.) I have one. It is about 3 inches long and 2 inches wide. It is a crucifix on my left forearm, standing behind double hearts, with my wifes name therein. Would I do it again? Perhaps. I don't want to look like a coloring book though. Will it send me to Hell? NO! I defy anyone to prove "Scripturally" otherwise. "Nothing is a sin of itself." "Anything done to the excess is sin." (KJV)Gal 2:16 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified. Gal 3:13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: Gal 3:14 That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. Gal 2:21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain. Gal 3:10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them. However, 1Co 6:17 But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit. 1Co 6:18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. 1Co 6:19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? Per Matthew Henry's concise concordance; Some among the Corinthians seem to have been ready to say, All things are lawful for me. This dangerous conceit St. Paul opposes. There is a liberty wherewith Christ has made us free, in which we must stand fast. But surely a Christian would never put himself into the power of any bodily appetite. The body is for the Lord; is to be an instrument of righteousness to holiness, therefore is never to be made an instrument of sin. It is an honour to the body, that Jesus Christ was raised from the dead; and it will be an honour to our bodies, that they will be raised. The hope of a resurrection to glory, should keep Christians from dishonouring their bodies by fleshly lusts. And if the soul be united to Christ by faith, the whole man is become a member of his spiritual body. Other vices may be conquered in fight; that here cautioned against, only by flight. And vast multitudes are cut off by this vice in its various forms and consequences. Its effects fall not only directly upon the body, but often upon the mind. Our bodies have been redeemed from deserved condemnation and hopeless slavery by the atoning sacrifice of Christ. We are to be clean, as vessels fitted for our Master's use. Being united to Christ as one spirit, and bought with a price of unspeakable value, the believer should consider himself as wholly the Lord's, by the strongest ties. May we make it our business, to the latest day and hour of our lives, to glorify God with our bodies, and with our spirits which are his. George |

72 | Only Gospels as Authority? | 2 Tim 3:16 | GeorJoy | 92624 | ||
2Ti 3:16 All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; When they don't like what it says, men and women as well tend try to take down the author, human or otherwise. By doing so, they only prove what has been written. George |

73 | Were human authors aware of inspiration? | 2 Tim 3:16 | GeorJoy | 92622 | ||
They knew they were in the Spirit. 2Ti 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: Would Paul have written the above if your answer were not as is stated below? Your answer is Yes. George |

74 | Bible references to child molestation?? | Matt 18:6 | GeorJoy | 92619 | ||
You will find nothing in the bible specifically naming many of lifes sins. However, there are many answers to your question in the word. (KJV) Mat 18:6 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea. Mat 22:39 ... Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. If you follow Mat 22:39 you will harm no one, least of all, a defensive child. George |

75 | Who are these removed branches? | John 15:6 | GeorJoy | 92551 | ||
Christ is the body. We are the branches. Per Matthew Henry's Concise commentary Joh 15:1-8 - Jesus Christ is the Vine, the true Vine. The union of the human and Divine natures, and the fulness of the Spirit that is in him, resemble the root of the vine made fruitful by the moisture from a rich soil. Believers are branches of this Vine. The root is unseen, and our life is hid with Christ; the root bears the tree, diffuses sap to it, and in Christ are all supports and supplies. The branches of the vine are many, yet, meeting in the root, are all but one vine; thus all true Christians, though in place and opinion distant from each other, meet in Christ. Believers, like the branches of the vine, are weak, and unable to stand but as they are borne up. The Father is the Husbandman. Never was any husbandman so wise, so watchful, about his vineyard, as God is about his church, which therefore must prosper. We must be fruitful. From a vine we look for grapes, and from a Christian we look for a Christian temper, disposition, and life. We must honour God, and do good; this is bearing fruit. The unfruitful are taken away. And even fruitful branches need pruning; for the best have notions, passions, and humours, that require to be taken away, which Christ has promised to forward the sanctification of believers, they will be thankful, for them. The word of Christ is spoken to all believers; and there is a cleansing virtue in that word, as it works grace, and works out corruption. And the more fruit we bring forth, the more we abound in what is good, the more our Lord is glorified. In order to fruitfulness, we must abide in Christ, must have union with him by faith. It is the great concern of all Christ's disciples, constantly to keep up dependence upon Christ, and communion with him. True Christians find by experience, that any interruption in the exercise of their faith, causes holy affections to decline, their corruptions to revive, and their comforts to droop. Those who abide not in Christ, though they may flourish for awhile in outward profession, yet come to nothing. The fire is the fittest place for withered branches; they are good for nothing else. Let us seek to live more simply on the fulness of Christ, and to grow more fruitful in every good word and work, so may our joy in Him and in his salvation be full. George |

76 | what God says about divorse/remarriage | Matt 5:31 | GeorJoy | 92549 | ||
*(Mat 5:31) It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement: *(Mat 5:32) But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery. Per Matthew Henry's Concise commentary 1Co 7:1-9 - The apostle tells the Corinthians that it was good, in that juncture of time, for Christians to keep themselves single. Yet he says that marriage, and the comforts of that state, are settled by Divine wisdom. Though none may break the law of God, yet that perfect rule leaves men at liberty to serve him in the way most suited to their powers and circumstances, of which others often are very unfit judges. All must determine for themselves, seeking counsel from God how they ought to act. God Bless George |

78 | Should a divorced person remarry? | Matt 5:31 | GeorJoy | 92545 | ||
Dear friend, I can not answer your question. Nor can any other man. Many will voice their thoughts, including myself. M. Henry's comment below, concerning 1Co 7:9, particularily the last sentence, puts it best. Personally, my studies indicate that once you and your wife accepted Jesus Christ as your savior, ALL your sins were washed away. Not just certin ones. In the eyes of God you became pure as pure is. After you accepted your salvation it was, and is up to you to "walk in the spirit" and do your best to remain pure. If you were Christians when you married, you would be in living in sin, with only divorce and repentance as a solution. If you were sinners when you married and have accepted Christ's gift of salvation since, your sins were forgiven. You have only to forgive yourself and accept Gods word. He has forgiven you, yet he still warns others of the same sins He "has" forgiven you of. You must accept His forgiveness in it's entirity. KJV*(1Co 7:9) But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn. Per Mathew Henry's Concise Commentary The apostle tells the Corinthians that it was good, in that juncture of time, for Christians to keep themselves single. Yet he says that marriage, and the comforts of that state, are settled by Divine wisdom. Though none may break the law of God, yet that perfect rule leaves men at liberty to serve him in the way most suited to their powers and circumstances, of which others often are very unfit judges. All must determine for themselves, seeking counsel from God how they ought to act. *** Mat 5:31-31 31 It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement: 32 But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery. Per Mathew Henry's Concise Commentary Mat 5:33-37 - There is no reason to consider that solemn oaths in a court of justice, or on other proper occasions, are wrong, provided they are taken with due reverence. But all oaths taken without necessity, or in common conversation, must be sinful, as well as all those expressions which are appeals to God, though persons think thereby to evade the guilt of swearing. The worse men are, the less they are bound by oaths; the better they are, the less there is need for them. Our Lord does not enjoin the precise terms wherein we are to affirm or deny, but such a constant regard to truth as would render oaths unnecessary. God bless. George |

79 | PastorFloyd, why do you twist Scripture | Romans | GeorJoy | 91855 | ||
Where have I heard Pastor floyd's response addressed to you b4, Searcher? Nerve and ignorance do not appear to be lacking where your posts are concerned. Searching you may be. You may occasionally find, or you may think you have found. I would like to know what, in your indignant wisdom, gives you the authority to make such an outlandish suggestion. Don't tell me your authority is scripture either, for if you do, you will only display further ignorance on your part. (1Co 11:31 KJV) "For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged." [I do not exclude myself from this verse, for I not proud that I post such a note as this.] Your brazen statement in this post depicts your epitome of ignorance, fueled by self-righteous indignation. In some of yours and my previous coresponeances, I first thought you were simply "trolling." Then I felt you may be serious, just a little mixed up. Now I wonder if perhaps you have made yourself judge and jury? (Meditate on this thought, for I say these things not of malice, but in sincere hope and prayer that you will remove the mote from your eye.) We all answer to the same God, and with what judgement we judge, we SHALL be judged. I personally will no longer read nor answer your posts, for you have proven that although you may search, you do not listen nor learn. (Mar 4:12 KJV) That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; Forgive ”us” Lord! George |

80 | josiebible, where does it say we can ask | Romans | GeorJoy | 91828 | ||
Hi Searcher. Me again. I can't say how much I appreciate Her answer, for what she said sparked a memory of what I reciently read. Something to the affect of your words precisely. "this gift is for all who ask and believe." ...something about the Holy Spirit. It's funny how we can read the answer to one of our own questions, yet not see it. When I find it I'll post it. Thanks for ur question, because it is there. Geore |
