61 | Difference between christian/ disciple | Acts 11:26 | Glory Bound | 131011 | ||
I wonder if the Pharasees considered it an "insult" when Christ called them vipers and sons of Satan. Sure they did. Surely though there may have been some who saw the truth in His words. Many consider any form of correction an insult. Learn how to accept rebuke, dear soul. There is a difference between constructive and distructive criticism. Mine ws not meant as an insult. It was meant to shake you, and hopefully open your eyes. What I stated initially was not intend to be distructive, as you took it. It was intended to assist. But those who refuse help are beyond help. If you want to be an affective messenger, consider what I said. No one is going to listen to anyone who portrays such as what I noted you portrayed. GB |

"Look within, be depressed. Look without, be distressed. Look above, be at rest." I never heard this said before, but it is sure that I never forget it. Who is Corrie ten Boom? GB |

My friend, if you wish to stand on your soap box and continue your blatant display of your lack of Biblical learning and your hardheaded ignorance and illiteracy, far be it from me to make another attempt at keeping you from displaying such. Rest assured, I need no advice from the likes of one such as yourself where my Jesus is concerned, nor where my focus need be. I know the kind and rest my case. Control... Control. Surely you have learned something from atop that soap box. GB. |

Forgive me if my post was abrasive. I stand firm on the word. As I read them, your thoughts were not scriptural. GB |

65 | who are the sons of God? | Gen 6:2 | Glory Bound | 130819 | ||
I have checked my Bible. It says what I stated. Rev. 20:7 makes no reference to, as you put it, "Gods sons." You may wish to read it again if you are referring to Satan as a son of God. As to your reference to Job 1:6, I will quote Matthew Henry. Satan among the sons of God (Job_1:6), an adversary (so Satan signifies) to God, to men, to all good: he thrust himself into an assembly of the sons of God that came to present themselves before the Lord. This means either, 1. A meeting of the saints on earth. Professors of religion, in the patriarchal age, were called sons of God (Gen_6:2); they had then religious assemblies and stated times for them. The King came in to see his guests; the eye of God was on all present. But there was a serpent in paradise, a Satan among the sons of God; when they come together he is among them, to distract and disturb them, stands at their right hand to resist them. The Lord rebuke thee, Satan! Or, 2. A meeting of the angels in heaven. They are the sons of God, Job_38:7. They came to give an account of their negotiations on earth and to receive new instructions. Satan was one of them originally; but how hast thou fallen, O Lucifer! He shall no more stand in that congregation, yet he is here represented, as coming among them, either summoned to appear as a criminal or connived at, for the present, though an intruder. I am sure you are sincere in your belief, but God said it and I believe it! JESUS CHRIST IS THE ONLY BEGOTTEN SON OF GOD. Joh 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. only begotten: G3439 monogenees mon-og-en-ace From G3441 and G1096; only born, that is, sole: - only (begotten, child). You can twist it any way you wish. No doubt you will fool many. But you may want to consider Mat 18:6, “but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him that a huge millstone should be hung around his neck, and that he should be sunk in the depths of the sea.” Along with this, consider the fact that those who wish to teach the Word will be held to a higher standard.

66 | Still waiting.... | 1 Cor 8:5 | Glory Bound | 130814 | ||
Whomever one serves, figuratively is their god. Many worship money. They would not give up their god any more than I would give up my God. Exo 20:3 states, "You shall have no other gods before Me." This is not saying that there are any gods other than He. What it is saying is "YOU SHALL HAVE NO OTHER". Please note that when the word god is capitalized, also look at the word “Me”. the capitalization denotes a reference to the one and only (G)od. Keep in mind also, that one can’t expect to fully understand scripture without reading the whole, or at least, a great majority of it. Please indulge me. I would like to quote a story I read in a book by Tim Lahaye. There was an individual who used the “hunt and peck method” of studying scripture. This method, employed by many is simply a random opening of the Bible in hopes that they will find something of value. This individual opened his Bible to Matthew 27:5 “…And he (Judas) went and hanged himself. He then opened to another passage, Luk 10:37, and discovered, “ Go and do likewise. “ Still a third peck produced the passage, John 13:27 “What thou doest, do quickly. “ Sincerely, many do not know how close the above comes to describing their Bible study methods. I would highly recommend Tim LaHayes book “How to Study The Bible” to any who are sincere in the study of scripture, even to those who are best at the art. In its entirety, scripture is self explanatory, but as with anything else: to determine the facts, one must have familiarized themselves with ALL the pertinent and relevant information, Hope this helps.

68 | y is it harder for a rich man to enter.. | Luke 13:24 | Glory Bound | 130807 | ||
I have heard Mat 19:24 explained as you state. I even once accepted this as being correct, that the eye of a needle represented the "entrance in the city." However, I have since learned that it is incorrect, for the Greek word "rhaphis, pronounced; hraf-ece'" actually translates as needle. I have a dozen or more versions of scripture, including an excellent "Interlinear, Hebrew, Greek and English" version. None of them make reference to "the eye of a needle" representing "a gate entrance in the city." Can you please provide a reference for your statement? I am curious. You might say that if Jesus meant His statement literally, it would be impossible for a rich man to get into heaven. It is, if he places the trust that many of the rich place in their riches. Let me quote Matthew Henry concerning this verse. "He (Jesus) said this to his disciples, who were poor, (Remember Matthew? He had given up a prosperous position as a tax collector), and had but little in the world, to reconcile them to their condition with this, that the less they had of worldly wealth, the less hindrance they had in the way to heaven.It is very rare for a man to be rich, and not to set his heart upon his riches; and it is utterly impossible for a man that sets his heart upon his riches, to get to heaven; for if any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him, 1Jo_2:15; Jam_4:4. " Mat 19:24 is a proverbial expression, denoting a difficulty altogether unconquerable by the art and power of man; nothing less than the almighty grace of God will enable a rich man to get over this difficulty. The difficulty of the salvation of apostates (Heb_6:4), and of old sinners (Jer_13:23), is thus represented as an impossibility. If you have access to a Matthew Henry Commentary, you may be interested in reading his thoughts concerning this particular topic. God bless, and please remember 2 Timothy 2:15 GB |

69 | living together prior to marriage | Amos 1:1 | Glory Bound | 130678 | ||
Adultry: : voluntary sexual intercourse between a married man and someone other than his wife or between a married woman and someone other than her husband; also : an act of adultery. I believe the word "fornication" would have been more appropriate here. GB |

70 | License To Marry? | Rom 13:1 | Glory Bound | 130675 | ||
If you didn't get a marriage license, is your pastor a revolutionary too? Was there a Pastor? It is for sure that you were not married by a Justice of the peace. Was there an actual marriage? Or as many, have you simply made a bunch of vows and thus consider yourselves married in the eyes of God? Surely not! GB |
||||||
71 | License To Marry? | Rom 13:1 | Glory Bound | 130670 | ||
I'm not familiar with the statistics, but I would ask. how many marriage licenses "between a man and a woman" are regularly refused? Gods word doesn't say "THAT THERE NEEDS TO BE A LICENSE TO MARRY", but it does tell us to adhere to the laws of the land. Whether you, or I like or understand the law or not, is of no consequence. You state: "It just says that whoever God so joins let no man put asunder. Asunder means to not allow any person to have authority over you in the matters of God and the heart--except for God. " I would suggest you look up the word "asunder" before you make any more statements concerning its meaning. Word for word, a simple dictionary will cover a ton of ignorance. Concerning scripture one must keep in mind that "precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little", that they may join "them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts" If you do not understand my statement and quotations from scripture, you would be well advised to invest in a good dictionary.

72 | License To Marry? | Rom 13:1 | Glory Bound | 130584 | ||
I never really thought of it before, and I really don't recall any mentions thereof in scripture, but If Moses gave a "writing of divorcement," and scripture makes at least 11 mentions thereof, might there not have been some sort of "writting of marriage"? I can understand the licensing of marriage today. IF IT WERE ACCORDING TO A REASON. Unfortunantly though, there seems to be little rational reasoning this day and time, concerning marriage, or much of anything else for that matter. GB |

73 | homosexuality | Bible general Archive 2 | Glory Bound | 130580 | ||
Hank, did I say "a homosexual was any more "possessed" than any other garden-variety sinner?" Hank, Did I say that "Scripture lowered the boom on one class of sinners while letting another class off the hook with a light slap on the wrist?" What did I state that was not scriptural, Hank? Sin is sin. There is but one unpardonable sin. Did I "state" anything otherwise? GB |

74 | Too many questions? | Eph 4:18 | Glory Bound | 130579 | ||

I thought there was more meaning than was written. You should see the character "LJeffe" on the AOL Bible board. This person is very learned scripturally, but a classic example of one whos words condemn him. His posts portray self righteous hatred for everyone. He wouldn't last more than a dozen posts on this board before he would be booted. Thank goodness for this boards standards, AND its observances thereof. GB |

Actually, the deeper I get into scripture, the more I come to the realization that scripture as a whole, says many things that it does not say dirrectly. I thought sure that I had read your thought in scripture. That: "Jesus said the next great event would be His return." It may be unwritten, but I believe that it is there. GB |

77 | I married wrong woman,what can I do? | Bible general Archive 2 | Glory Bound | 130575 | ||
My wife, which is 20 years my senior, was married to a man she didn't love for over 30 years. Like many, she married to get out of the nest. She is a wonderful Christian, the most spiritually influential person I have ever known. She really didn't know him when they first married. He became a thief, and a liar and remained such till near the end of his life. She nearly single handedly raised all 5 of her children. She will occasionally tell me of the embarrassment she endured because of the lack of moral character he had. I have studied scripture concerning marriage and divorce and am convinced that it is because of my wife that her deceased previous husband managed to accept the Savior. The scripture comes to mind, and I paraphrase, “No grater love has anyone, than that they would give their life for another.” She gave much of her life to someone whom, other than as another child of God, she simply did not love. Although there are 3 ways out of a marriage according to scripture, there is no doubt that self-sacrifice and love of the Lord is the more honorable route Joyce and I are rapidly approaching our 20th anniversary. I have 5 children; 4 boys and 1 girl. My oldest son is 3 years older than I. (I love to tell folks that I got started EARLIER than life.) I have 16 grandkids and 13 grates. All steps of course, but they all love me, and I love them as though they were my own. They are, and will always be my only children. GB |

Where is Jesus' statement you paraphrased, Ed? I've probably read over it a hundred times. That's what I get for using the NIV. I read it too fast and overlook too much. KJ makes me think, and the older I get, the harder that gets. GB |

Hi Ed. Forgive me, this is off the subject, but this subject put me in mind of the following. With all the "versions" of scripture, do you not feel, like I, that they are diluting and possiably deluding scripture, and leading us to the verge of another division? Surely the time is near! GB |

Hi Emmaus Considering what is said in Ephesians 6:12 "NIV" "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms." Would you not say that it is likely that those guilty of the lifestyle of the sodomite could be "possessed"? Many would label me radical, but something in me tells me that there is so much that we simply do not know, and I feel that there are hoards of "spirits of evil" out there inflicting humanity to an extent which no one is fully are of, or willing to admit to. i.e. Spirits of alcoholism, theft, perversion, and on and on and on. I know there are man made labels and excuses for these "diseases." but I feel that it is simple. There simply isn't enough adherence to what is said in the Word. GB |
