61 | In simplicity and sincerity of God? | 2 Cor 1:12 | Timothy Paul | 57945 | ||
Hi Ray, Good to hear from you. Your questions are provoking as well as enlightening, however I must disagree with your stand on capitalization on this issue. This is because I feel that the word 'godly' is used as an adjective, describing the sincerity of the apostle Paul,( He was not a man who seemed to be one thing and was another, but a man of sincerity.) and does not concern this conversation with the sincerity of God Himself, who is completely genuine without fail. As to the phrase 'godly jealousy' I am prompted to ask, Could there BE such a thing? I was taught, albeit recently, to be zealous, not jealous. Man's jealousy I consider a sin along with envy and covetousness, for it means not wanting the very best for our brethren, or feeling that we are more deserving of what they have than they themselves are. Looking at it thusly, is anyone more deserving of ANY blessings in life? (We already enjoy much more than we can ever earn or deserve). This could place 'godly sorrow' under the same scrutiny. Now to 'godly'jealousy, I am moved to my favorite Webster's dictionary, that defines godly as something of or from God (cap). This means if it is from God, He no longer is in possession or control, but by divine permission has given control of this emotion over to His blessed servant Paul, to wield in the exercise of God's Will, ie, the propagation of the church. Are you with me so far on this, Brother Ray? Be blessed and be a blessing! Tim |

64 | Should We Get Married Again? | Matt 19:4 | Timothy Paul | 56538 | ||
Dear AB, Now, after 10 days time, I hope you have been given some insight by the Supreme Counselor, the Holy Spirit. "But the wisdom from above is first of all pure (undefiled); then it is peace-loving, courteous (considerate, gentle). [It is willing to] yield to reason, full of compassion and good fruits; it is wholehearted and straightforward, impartial and unfeigned (free from doubts, wavering, and insincerity)." (James 3:17)NASB Lets pray that the lines of communication will be opened and believe on the name of Jesus that His will shall be accomplished. Peace, Tim |

65 | any thought s on this | 1 Pet 3:19 | Timothy Paul | 56122 | ||
christian7, more thoughts on the verse from Peter, whose name comes from 'petra' and means stone, Peter refers to Christ as the 'Living stone'(1Pe 2:4) and we, vs.5, are like living stones. God sent His Son as the cornerstone in the spiritual temple that is being built to this day. Jesus is the foundation, support and underpinning of the church, and is the most critical piece of the structure. This cornerstone posseses invincible strength and everlasting duration and we are able to rely on Him for protection and security. We are also capable of using this stone as a weapon against the enemy. My point here is, instead of trying to establish who the spirits were that Jesus went to preach to, we should be compelled towards discovering the message that was preached to these souls. This message likely had much to do with how we are inclined to follow the majority, yet we are commanded otherwise. Just think of the 8 that were saved in the ark, who received everlasting life, and the 8 million who perished and received eternal damnation. Thank you for your time in sharing these thoughts, may God Bless all of you and all of yours. |

Hi Christian7, thanks for the interesting question. You are able to do a 'quick search'and enter ID# 24390 to see an excellent response by Tim Moran, as brother Tim points out, this may very well lead to more questions than answers. This leads me to search favorite commentaries, and to quote David Guzic, he says, a. Apparently, this work was done in the period after Jesus' death, but before His first appearance as resurrected to the disciples; Jesus went to Hades - the abode of the dead - and preached to the spirits there b. Are these spirits demonic spirits or human spirits? Their disobedience was in the days of Noah; we have evidence that this was a time of gross sin for both demons and humans, when there was an ungodly co-mingling of humans and demons (Genesis 6:1-2) c. Why would Jesus preach to these imprisoned spirits? In all probability, this was preaching (the proclamation of God's message) but not evangelism (the proclamation of good news); Jesus probably preached judgment to these disobedient spirits d. Some feel that this preaching was done by Jesus to the people of Noah's time, in Noah's time; when Peter refers to their imprisonment, he refers to their current state, not their state when Jesus preached to them - preaching through Noah (or Enoch) i. "This passage, once cleared of misunderstanding, should also function today as an encouragement to us to be bold in our witness (as Noah was), to be confident that, though we may be few, God will certainly save us (as he did Noah), and to remind us that just as certainly as the flood eventually came, so final judgment will certainly come to our world as well, and Christ will ultimately triumph over all evil in the universe." (Grudem) I hope this has what you were looking for, God Bless, Tim |

67 | Should We Get Married Again? | Heb 13:4 | Timothy Paul | 55473 | ||
Hi A B and welcome :o) It is terribly sad that the enemy succeeded in tearing apart your marriage after such a long time together. Ecc 4:12 relates, "And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken" (The third member in the cord of course is Jesus). While God hates divorce(Mal 2:16), He still loves the divorced. The reason that I feel He hates divorce is because of the sin that we are tempted into committing after the seperation. -okay, ONE of the reasons anyway. I hope your daughter is well and feel bad that it took a tragedy to draw you two to consider reconciliation. If your husband refuses to do devotions w/you, you should respect his feelings and give it time for his reasons to surface. After all, do you want him to do this w/you unwillingly? Matt. 6:6, "But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly." Being a divorced addict, I can sympathize w/your dilemna. After being saved and teaching my ex about the biblical view of divorce, she accepted a ring from me but that did not last either. This time I feel her pride kept her from respecting me enough to accept my past failures, but that would only be a part of it so I won't give you a one sided story. It is well that you two go to church together so for now I would suggest you trust in Jesus to send you the Counsel of the Holy Spirit, remember the fruit of the Spirit (Eph. 5:9; Gal. 5:22, -notice the word fruit is singular, not plural) Also, memorize (and try your best to practice 1Cor 13:4-5): "4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. I sincerely hope I have given some useful biblical advice here, there is lots more where that came from. Bless God and God bless. Tim |

69 | explain Psalms 62 for me please.Juel | Ps 62:1 | Timothy Paul | 55456 | ||
Juel, Matthew Henry Commentary is where I turn when I'm looking for explanations. Here is a sample of his from Psalm 62: "This psalm has nothing in it directly either of prayer or praise, nor does it appear upon what occasion it was penned, nor whether upon any particular occasion, whether mournful or joyful. But in it, I. David with a great deal of pleasure professes his own confidence in God and dependence upon him, and encourages himself to continue waiting on him (v. 1-7). II. With a great deal of earnestness he excites and encourages others to trust in God likewise, and not in any creature (v. 8–12). In singing it we should stir up ourselves to wait on God." Peace and blessings, Tim |

70 | Who succeeded Solomon as king of Israel? | 1 Kin 11:43 | Timothy Paul | 55390 | ||
Dear angelface, here is the verse to supply your answer, to read it in context, I suggest 1Ki. 11:40-43.The only thing I could find to add to the verse above is from C.H. Spurgeon, who writes: After great mountains there usually come low hills. After Solomon comes Rehoboam. Grace does not run in the blood, we may be sure, for even human wisdom does not descend from father to son. There is no necessary transmission of gifts and talents, much less of grace, from one generation to another. |

73 | image of God | Gen 1:26 | Timothy Paul | 54509 | ||
I don't know exactly, but I have looked into it and wish to share the answer that I find comfort in. An Image is what we see when we look into a mirror. It is not us, but a representation of us. God created us to represent Him on this earth, which makes us Ambassadors, just like a foriegn ambassador represents the country he originates from. Grace and peace, Tim |

75 | Why have kids when... | Gen 1:22 | Timothy Paul | 53668 | ||
Hi, In the Andes; We are not to refrain from having kids for this reason or any other. "And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein." (Gen 9:7) To refrain from having kids is to choose our will over God's. See also, Gen 1:28; 8:17; Lev 26:9 among others. What if our parents held the belief that you speak of? We would not be having this conversation, nor would we be building up God's kingdom. Peace and blessings to you, Tim |

76 | I would like to reply to Timothy Paul. | John 1:1 | Timothy Paul | 53457 | ||
Dear HR212,The point is the Father and Son are the same and always were. In John's gospel, the apostle lays down this great truth that Jesus Christ is one with God the Father. Jn 1:14 concurs with the verse in 1Tim and teaches us, "The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only,who came from the Father, full of grace and truth." And, Do the laws of Trinitarian doctrine make the Holy Spirit the Father? I would say Yes,we know that Joseph was not the father, and the Holy Spirit and the Father are one and the same. 1Cor.2:10,11 says,"but God has revealed it to us by his Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the man's spirit within him? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God." And also read Matt. 28:19,"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, are you in agreement with this, HolyRoller212? |

77 | Knowledge explosion | Dan 12:4 | Timothy Paul | 53439 | ||
Dear Doc, consider the world of today, and as it was 100 years ago. 100 yrs ago, people depended on animals for transportation, as they did in biblical days. Now, look at the timespan between the discovery of fire and the invention of the wheel, the stone age (Neolithic period), the Bronze age (3500-1000 B.C.) and the iron age (1000 B.C.). Now, look at the small distance between the transportation age and the computer age. There is no doubt in my mind that knowledge is increasing at a rapidly multiplying pace. Proverbs 2:6 tells us, "For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth [cometh] knowledge and understanding." What this tells me is that the speed in which we gain knowledge is controlled and has always been fore-ordained by God. It is doubtless to many that the prophesied end times have already begun, but our knowledge is sadly lacking as to how long they will last. Praise Him. Tim |

78 | Tell me ur view on modalistic monarchian | 2 Tim 2:15 | Timothy Paul | 53436 | ||
Dear Brother Roller, Our Great and Gracious LORD tells us in Leviticus 11:45,"I am the Lord who brought you up out of Egypt to be your God; therefore be holy, because I am holy." This,(to me) includes accepting these "MMs" as a "lost person" who does not rightly interpret the Word of God. As a baby Christian myself, I would suggest you turn to 2Tim 2:15,(above)and find the truth in the scriptures. 2Tim 3:16,17 says a lot: All scripture [is] given by inspiration of God, and [is] profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect,throughly furnished unto all good works. Now, the scriptures I refer to tell us that one God has existed from historical eternity in three persons, known as the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The Father is God: Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed. (John 6:27) The Son is God: For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. (2Pet 1:17) And the Spirit is God: God has raised this Jesus to life, and we are all witnesses of the fact. Exalted to the right hand of God, he has received from the Father the promised Holy Spirit and has poured out what you now see and hear. (Acts 2:32,33) this is what I think.Thank You for your interesting question. peace, Tim |

80 | how old was david when he killed goliath | 1 Sam 17:33 | Timothy Paul | 51695 | ||
Greetings, Here we find, in 1 Samuel Chapter 17, a firm case of the humble being exalted. he was but a youth, a shepherd, never in the wars,due to his young age, but he had done as much as the killing of Goliath called for, for he had spirit and strength enough to subdue a lion once and another time a bear that robbed him of his lambs, v. 34–36. His father was old,(vs 12), and he had three older brothers. I would gather him to be in his middle teens.This is as close as I can get to the age of David, I hope it helps. sincerely, Tim |
