61 | is it wrong to masterbate? | 1 Cor 7:9 | kw5kw | 141956 | ||
Greetings Ray, For you have said: "The kingdom has high standards certainly; for even when a man looks at a woman with lust for her, he commits adultery with her in his heart." And I most whole-heartly agree with you on this! You said: "I don't believe that masturbation would be so bad, that we should cut off our hands or male body part in order not to go to hell. There is no law against masturbation." I'll agree that there is no law against masturbation. I searched a long time to satify my sinful nature. Then God, speaking to me in a Christian bookstore, and through Dr. Stanley showed me the light with the book "Every Man's Battle." I have learned the error of my ways, and Jesus has accepted my repentance. So, I ask you, what is masturbation? I hope I don't have to answer that here. Masturbation happens because 1. we have lusted over a different sexual partner than our own. Male or female it makes no difference. Lust is lust therefore a sin. Or, 2. We sexually gratify ourselves when our partner is physically unable to help us. Using example number 1, masturbation is imoral and a sin. One that will comdem us to eternal damnation. Using the example number 2, then masturbation could be allowed, if you use only use stimuli from inside the marriage. (You only think of your spouse.) I hope this makes my position more clear. Your friend and brother in Christ. Russ |

63 | Christ Jesus testimony / Red writing | Rev 1:1 | kw5kw | 141924 | ||
You're right. But, Hank, you have to admit it (red lettering for Jesus' words) have helped you seperate what He said from that of what Matthew, Mark, Luke, or John had to say about the events. Or to find what he said to Paul in Acts chapter 9. It's another study tool. The red letters allow you to find what Jesus said faster. | ||||||

Thank you Pastor Glenn, I said I would be finshed with this thread. After your post I must respond favorably. Your are correct. I have a very 'Special' relationship with my Creator, My God! One that I cannot express in words, only in feelings. My feelings are ... just simply indescrible ... My examples are meant to show that I LOVE JESUS, my Lord, my Saviour! I have to express that feeling. In person I'd be able to express my feelings. In type, on the internet, it is very difficult to express feeling, only fact. Facts can be so cold sometimes, when my feelings are so warm. Your brother in Christ, Russ |

67 | How do we know that we are truly saved? | 1 John 3:24 | kw5kw | 141786 | ||
I came here to give an honest answer to how I felt when the Holy Ghost entered my body. When the Holy Ghost entered MY body the Holy Ghost (1Cr 3:16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and [that] the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? )gave me a warm feelinging from inside my body that felt like a warm hug from within. Being that we're all Christians here, I didn't think, that every word I typed here needed a Scripture to back up everything I said. Then I gave an example of someone whom I admire (Rev. Spurgeon) who gave a sermon and used only one quoted scripture in the entire sermon, and once again I'm lambasted. I might remind you all of this: Mat 7:1 Judge not, that ye be not judged. Mat 7:2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. This was a lively discussion, but for me now I'm through with this thread. Your friend in Christ, Russ |

Greetings Pastor Glenn Oh, I'm very aware of 2 Tim 3:16. It's one of the verses that I first point to when I'm teaching the Bible to younger people. Did you read the Rev. Spurgeon's sermon? He has a great sermon on faith, and although he has references to passages in the sermon, in the body of the sermon proper he has no actual references to specific scriptures. At the beginning of the sermon he does reference one and only one verse: John 4:48. The Rev. Spurgeon was one of the greatest preachers to ever live (IMHO), and he didn't think it was necessary to footnote every though that he spoke about. (OH, if you print that sermon, it's 25 pages long.) Your brother in Christ, Russ |

Greetings Kalos, While there is good in all of the Scriptures, there is more to Christianity than just the scriptures. We mustn’t get lost in that. Using Scripture to make my point about using the Scripture. Jhn 5:39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. Jhn 5:40 And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life. Jhn 5:41 I receive not honour from men. I debated on including the next verse: Jhn 5:42 But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you. We must remember why the Scriptures are here in the first place. They are here in order to teach us about God, Jesus the Christ and the Holy Spirit for all His Glory and Might. But, there is so, so much more to God. We must remember this. There is Wisdom, Proverbs 8, for instance. There is the Earth, Stars and Heaven, Genesis 1. Everything we look at, every person we talk to was created by God’s will, at God's will. We can’t forget that. We must think of God and how He affects each and every one of us every single day. Concerning faith, I think of Rev. Spurgeon’s sermon #317 ( http://www.spurgeon.org/sermons/0317.htm ) and his discourse on Faith. Daniel’s faith delivered him from the mouths of the Lions (Dan 6:7-28). The centurion’s faith allowed his servant to be healed. (Mt 8:5-13) Moses’ faith allowed him to free the Hebrew people and talk to God (The entire books of Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy). His (Moses’) lack of faith is also what kept him out of the Promised Land. Abraham’s faith allowed him to be the father of great nations. Noah’s faith allowed him to build the ark and escape the flood. (Both in Genesis) And, my faith in Jesus, as my Saviour and Lord, is how I know I’m saved. Your friend in Christ. Russ |

I spend at least 8 hours a day reading the Bible. Not just the New Testament, but The Bible. I minister to others. I know what it is like to be lost. I know what it is like to sin. I know what it is like to be found again. I know what it is like to be taken up by God and have the Holy Ghost enter into my body and stay there. I have died, and departed from my body. I have litterly been above the hospital bed and looked down on my body... my dead body lying there on the emergency room bed. I was put back into my body by God. I had a vision of the Trinity, The Father, The Son, and The Holy Ghost walked towards me. When they got to me, the Holy Ghost entered into me, and remained. Friend, I know I'm saved. I don't have to have scripture, to know that I'm saved. But here's one. 1Cr 14:15 What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also. your brother in Christ, Russ |

... continued 1Cr 5:5 To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. 1Cr 6:11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God. 1Cr 6:17 But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit. 1Cr 6:20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's. 1Cr 12:7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. 1Cr 12:8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; 1Cr 12:11 But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will. 1Cr 14:15 What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also. |

The "warm-fuzzies" that I speak of is the Holy Ghost inside me, making me feel all warm inside and He's hugging me from within. It's a hard feeling to describe other than "warm-fuzzies." If you don't know "warm-fuzzies" personally, maybe you should try to get a bit closer yourself. And, yes, It's VERY personal, my relationship with God! As far as some verses: Act 18:25 This man was instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in the spirit, he spake and taught diligently the things of the Lord, knowing only the baptism of John. Rom 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. Rom 8:4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. Rom 8:5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. Rom 8:9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. Rom 8:10 And if Christ [be] in you, the body [is] dead because of sin; but the Spirit [is] life because of righteousness. Rom 8:13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. Rom 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. Rom 8:15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. Rom 8:16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: Rom 8:27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what [is] the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to [the will of] God. 1Cr 2:11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. 1Cr 2:12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. 1Cr 3:16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and [that] the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? Rom 8:27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what [is] the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to [the will of] God. Rom 11:8 (According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day. Rom 12:11 Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord; Rom 15:19 Through mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God; so that from Jerusalem, and round about unto Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of Christ. Rom 15:30 Now I beseech you, brethren, for the Lord Jesus Christ's sake, and for the love of the Spirit, that ye strive together with me in [your] prayers to God for me; 1Cr 2:4 And my speech and my preaching [was] not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: 1Cr 2:10 But God hath revealed [them] unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. 1Cr 2:11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. 1Cr 2:12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. 1Cr 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know [them], because they are spiritually discerned. 1Cr 3:16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and [that] the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? 1Cr 4:21 What will ye? shall I come unto you with a rod, or in love, and [in] the spirit of meekness? 1Cr 5:3 For I verily, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged already, as though I were present, [concerning] him that hath so done this deed, 1Cr 5:4 In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, to be continued... |

I've got them, do you? I know God's in me, Do you? you want a verse, here's a couple: John 5:36 "But I have a testimony greater than that from John. For the deeds that the Father has assigned me to complete--the deeds I am now doing--testify about me that the Father has sent me. 5:37 And the Father who sent me has himself testified about me. You people have never heard his voice nor seen his form at any time, 5:38 nor do you have his word residing in you, because you do not believe the one whom he sent. 5:39 You study the scriptures thoroughly because you think in them you possess eternal life, and it is these same scriptures that testify about me, 5:40 but you are not willing to come to me so that you may have life. |

"2) The Scriptures "in the original languages" do not capitalize any pronouns. If the original manuscripts did not capitalize pronouns, then WHY does anyone today feel that pronouns referring to the Deity MUST be capitalized? Why, because I think it gives the ultimate respect which is due the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. |

Brother Tim, Of course, statues are all over. Idols are objects of worship. You can have a statue of Jesus, if you don't worship the statue then it's ok. But, once you start worshiping the statue, it becomes an idol. You worship Jesus our Lord the Christ, not the statue of Jesus. It can't do anything for you. Russ |

77 | Is Gambling Wrong? | Bible general Archive 2 | kw5kw | 140730 | ||
Lot’s, as gambling was called in the Bible, is mentioned 24 times using a Strong’s Search at Blueletterbible.org. Without listing all of them, but here are but a few: Lev 16:8 And Aaron shall cast lots upon the two goats; one lot for the LORD, and the other lot for the scapegoat. Jos 18:6 Ye shall therefore describe the land [into] seven parts, and bring [the description] hither to me, that I may cast lots for you here before the LORD our God. Neh 10:34 And we cast the lots among the priests, the Levites, and the people, for the wood offering, to bring [it] into the house of our God, after the houses of our fathers, at times appointed year by year, to burn upon the altar of the LORD our God, as [it is] written in the law: Psa 22:18 They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture. Mat 27:35 And they crucified him, and parted his garments, casting lots: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, They parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture did they cast lots. Mar 15:24 And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments, casting lots upon them, what every man should take. Luk 23:34 Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots. Jhn 19:24 They said therefore among themselves, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, They parted my raiment among them, and for my vesture they did cast lots. These things therefore the soldiers did. and finally the deciples cast their own lots to decide who the replacement for Judas was to be: Act 1:26 And they gave forth their lots; and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles. The casting of lots is indeed Biblical, and not frowned upon by God. Habitual gambling however, is, as it can come between you and your Lord. Even I enjoy playing a game of cards myself here and there, but, I do not put playing a game above my Lord. Any game, chess, checkers, cards, dice, doesn't matter, if you don't know the outcome beforehand is essentially a gamble after all. My original thoughts. Russ |

I missed up... For Paraphrased I meant the New Living Letters, for conventional I meant the NASB. I mistyped and mis-proofread. I knew what I wanted to say, It just didn't come out that way. I humbly appologize. My God bless. Russ |

Thanks for the welcome. I, personally, do read the NIV, now. It helps me understand in today's language, without getting lost in the language structure of the early 17th century. However, I do miss the KJV(AV) and all of the "shall not's, Thou's, wherefore's", etc. I read and compare between the NIV, KJV(AV), and the paraphrased NASB. I'm looking forward to getting another version (a real book, not off of the web) and reading it thru. Reading a different version each year might be a really good ambition for some people. Hmmm, I think I'll bring that up in my Sunday School Class this comming week. We're going to try and get a group together to read it in a year, and a different translation might add some extra insite not already gained. I might add, that unless you understand the original language that the particular book was written in, they're all translations. Each and every one of them! I don't understand Greek, or Hebrew, or any language other than English. I do feel however that God's hand has guided the pens (minds) of the translators, all of them. Each version does it's own good and will reach a group of people to be saved. Amen. Russ |

It is written: 2Ti 3:16 All scripture [is] given by inspiration of God, and [is] profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: To me that means that anything and everything in the Holy Bible may be considered as true. |
