Hi John Paul did not need to take 3 chapters on how tongues were to be used, in order for him to say, these Gifts of the Holy Ghost, this speaking in tongues, it's all wrong, please for Gods sake stop doing it! You, and others seem to be under the impression, that is exactly what he did say. Why not study the matter with the guidance of the Holy Ghost? The problem with this thread is, Paul did take 3 chapters to talk about the proper use of these Gifts. This whole discussion thus far, has only been about everyone trying to make their points, using all three chapters to do so. In order to do proper exegesis. Each chapter in order needs to be examined in the context of what is being said within that chapter. The discussion thus far has not been so, it has sadly been a putting forth of personal views, experiences, presuppositions, and the like. It would be nice if the people on this Forum, put aside their own personal doctrines, beliefs, prejudices. Then set about the task of doing the thing, this forum was designed to do. What I see needs to be done, is that everyone stop posting on this thread, step away from it, take off until Tuesday, whereupon a new thread would be started. During this time of rest, pray for an open heart, and mind, and a willingness to accept the truth from the WORD of God. Biblical exegesis is a critical explanation or interpretation of the Bible. The goal of Biblical exegesis is to find the meaning of the text which then leads to discovering its significance or relevance. (From Wikipedia) an explanation or critical interpretation of a text (From Merriam-Webster dictionary) critical explanation or interpretation of a text or portion of a text, esp. of the Bible.

Hi Morant61 There are many more scriptures saying basically the same as this one, but I feel one is sufficient to convey the meaning of what is being said. Would this scripture be a fair assessment of Kenneth Copeland ministries? In light of scripture, how is it possible to endorse a ministry that has clearly twisted scripture? James 3:12 Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh. I love Dr. MacArthur, but he has a major blind spot when it comes to spiritual gifts. He has proposed several very unusual positions in his various books about spiritual gifts. Dr. MacArthur tries to hard to discredit tongues, and by doing so, he twists the Scriptures on this topic. I would take anything Dr. MacArthur says about spiritual gifts with several grains of salt. On everything else, he is awesome. Vintage68 |

64 | Leave possesions to realize GOD | Genesis | Vintage68 | 215137 | ||
Hi keliy The story you cite as a parable in Luke 18:18-30 is not a parable, it was a conversation that took place between Jesus and a certain ruler. It really happened as stated. So in actuality, when His disciples asked Him, who can even be saved? And Jesus said, "The things which are impossible with men are possible with God." He was really saying, that if all men, would only follow Him, as he was saying for them to do, God would make it possible for them to do so. Because man in his own power can do nothing. The rich ruler with all his wealth, and self-righteousness in his keeping of the law, the one thing he lacked more than anything else was "FAITH". If you would take the time to read the three chapters, Matt.19, Mark 10, Luke 18 You will see Jesus is teaching on having FAITH above everything else. His teaching on faith is then followed by the rich young ruler discussion. Mark 10:14 And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus answereth again, and saith unto them, Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God! It isn't just the fact he had great riches, it was that he had more faith in the riches he had, than he did in God. The whole thing is more than salvation, and living a Christian life. Vintage68 |

Hi Julia Marie In going back to your original statement. You can now place that scripture in John 16:23 alongside this scripture which is totally within context. As a matter of fact the context of this scripture is only about PRAYER. Luke 11:1-13 But in order to find the full context of John 16:23, we need to also look at the following verse. John 16:24 24.) Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full. So we can see from verse ( 24 ) your within the grounds of context. But there is that troubling piece at the beginning of verse ( 23 ) John 16:23 23.) "And in that day ye shall ask me nothing." This part of the verse actually refers to the preceding thought, which is about the disciples asking Him questions before His crucifixion which would be the next day. As far as your statement about Eph. 6:18 you judge it for yourself wether your belief is really correct, given that it says in 1 Cor. 14:4 He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church. If you are praying in the Spirit, praying in unknown tongues, then you are the only one that is being edified. I fully understand what you are trying to say about praying at all times, our (Language), is inadequate, besides when you are praying in the Spirit, you are being prayed for by the Holy Ghost, your also praising, and worshiping God. It isn't just our asking for things, how would your getting a new job edify you in the inner man? That would bring no edification at all would it. I believe Satan cannot understand the tongues of a prayer language God has given to His people for the sole purpose of their edification. Otherwise we may as well pray using our own language, and understanding. Those are the times when the Holy Ghost, takes the opportunity to pray with groaning's which cannot be uttered Rom. 8:26 Vintage68 |

Hi BMyers Just for a clarification on my part. I am stating that the flood took place in the year 1656 period. Not that it was a BC date. Time then started again as far as I am concerned after the flood. The experts with all of their educated guesses, are all coming from Exidus backwards to the flood. I on the other hand am coming from Adam forward to the flood. If you put the two time frames together it comes out to approximately 4000 - 5000 years from Adam to Jesus. Depending on the expert. As far an age of the Earth, that is a completely different matter. We all know and agree that it took 6 days for the creation, God resting on the 7th. But from that point on we have no evidence as to how long Adam, and Eve were in the garden before expulsion. So as far as I am concerned, it could be as long as the geologists say it is. We just don't know. Vintage68 |

Hi BMyers I fully agree, but the answer you gave originally could have been taken differently. Some people may argue that. The Earth is not the center, the Sun is. Others may say, that couldn't have happened because everything would have sailed off into outer space. See what I mean. Just wanted clarification. :-) There is one other point to be made the Moon also stood still, not just the Sun. Vintage68 |

71 | Why did God tell Abraham to kill his son | Gen 22:2 | Vintage68 | 214958 | ||
Hi bibleman My intent was not meant to insult you, but when asking a question of people , those people need to know the special circumstances surrounding said question. Because the answer to your question is really very simple. There is no answer for a person that is suffering from a mental illness. There is no logical way of answering an Illogical question. Is that the reason you, have to this point been unable to answer it yourself? I did not say your question was dishonest, but we all need to know what the real reason any given question is asked. (common curtsy) Be Blessed Vintage68 |

72 | Why did God tell Abraham to kill his son | Gen 22:2 | Vintage68 | 214955 | ||
Hi bibleman This is your original question: "When God told Abraham to kill his son... why was that not sin and why was that not tempting Abraham to sin? Which would be against what God said in James chapter 1 about God NOT temping any man with evil." In your asking this question you were not being honest with the members of this forum, you purposefully with-held information. Information which now you try to use as a defense, for your being so obtuse in your reluctance to accept any answers as sufficient. By doing so, you denied those that were trying to answer your question, information that was pertinent to "SOMEONE ELSES QUESTION" namely, someone that should be locked up if they think God is telling them do kill. When you were confronted with your unwillingness to look at your question rationally, you again with-held this information, you just stated that you were talking to a friend. Granted you did ask a question, it was answered correctly. But far beyond that, you came to a forum for studying the word of God trying to get an answer for a person that needs counseling. That is not the purpose of the forum. If you would have posted the true facts of your dilemma, as you have finally done, you would have saved everyone involved a lot of time. There is no answer that will be sufficient for your friend, but the question then arises, IS IT SUFFICIENT FOR YOU? I will be praying for you, and your friend. May God Bless you Vintage68 |

Hi Wildoliveshoot The answer that was given was in relation to a question that was being asked, with the knowledge of SIN as we have it today, ie after the Mosaic Law. The question also said kill which was actually sacrifice. But this should answer your question. From Adam to Moses, there was no law. Rom. 5:14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come. Vintage68 |

74 | Why did God tell Abraham to kill his son | Gen 22:2 | Vintage68 | 214910 | ||
Hi bibleman Why do you equate the SACRIFICE of Isaac to God an evil act (sin)? The other places where the sacrifice of children are mentioned are only in relation to false gods, idols. I added brackets. This was the test, and the culmination of it. Gen.22:10-12 10.) And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son. 11.) And the angel of the LORD called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am I. 12.) And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: (for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me.) Vintage68 |

75 | Can Angels repent? | Bible general Archive 4 | Vintage68 | 214905 | ||
Hi Jay123 This is the only place I could find, that came close to the same kind of sin that the angels committed. according to the Greek. (hamartano) (Verb) Lit., "to miss the Mr. ," is used in the NT (a) of "sinning" against God, (1) by angels, 2Pe. 2:4; (2) by man, Mt. 27:3,4; Matt.27:3,4 3.) Then Judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, 4.) Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood. And they said, What is that to us? See thou to that. 2 Peter 2:4 4.) For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; There has been a debate about this for centuries, as to when, and how the angels could have sinned. I do not believe the angels were created with a free will. Neither did God give them an opportunity to repent. We on the other hand, have been created in the image, and likeness of God, the angels were not. Can you think of any other kind of sin an angel could commit, other than the one just spoken of? Which I believe to be the actual sin of rebellion against Gods rule over them, we do not have that consciousness of rebellion against Gods rule over our lives, before salvation. We can sin against God, or man in a great variety of ways. I can't pass up this opportunity. sorry :-) Using your own answer to your own question. Even though your ability to repent of your Question was taken away, because there were no edit options as you say, you still have taken the steps necessary in trying to Repent. Thereby gaining forgiveness. The angels Didn't Vintage68 |

Hi bibleman Every question you have asked including your original question, seem to have the same thrust in them, they all appear to be trying to catch God in a lie, or a contradiction. It would help, if in the future you would address your posts. Vintage68 |

In looking at the statement made, was the integrity of the bible compromised? Did the statement, in any way change the context of the original text? Did the statement, in any way change the meaning of the original text? No, nothing has been lost in using the word sin, instead of the word transgression. You use the word "rightly (handling) the word of truth." I use the word (dividing). Who is misrepresenting the bible? I DO Vintage68 |

Hi Humbled I have added the brackets. Maybe this will help Rom.4:15 Because the law worketh wrath: (for where no law is), (there is no transgression). 1 John 3:4 (Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law): (for sin is the transgression of the law). Ok If you want to split the hair about the exact wording. Sorry:-) Vintage68 |

Hi humbledbyhisgrace Well to tell you the truth, that would be pure speculation. I can only go by what the bible says, and believe it. What are your thoughts on that matter?:-) Vintage68 |

80 | Why did God tell Abraham to kill his son | Gen 22:2 | Vintage68 | 214881 | ||
Hi again bibleman Just had another thought. The bible says where there is no law there is no sin. Just based on that Even if Abraham had Killed his son as you have stated. That act would not have been sin, based on the grounds that there was not at that time, any law about killing, murder, etc. Rom.4:15 Rom. 5:13 Vintage68 |
