Nolan, I agree regarding naming her as Mary Magdalene, I have not been able to show you this. I guess I remember this belief that it was her from when I was going to a church years ago, and I remember that they said it was her, but whether It's true and I can show it, is another thing, but Nolan I never ever said that she was a prostitute. I said adulteress not prostitute. For the woman in that scripture is being accused of being an adulteress. serenetime | ||||||

Hank, I agree with you on this, and I'm glad that some of the tradional views taught in some churches today are being exposed if they are unscriptual. I have always had the highest respect for her, she had such a devotion and love for Jesus, that I think everyone could learn from. The fact that before we were saved by grace, we all had a little something going on in our lives that we needed cleansing from. I thank him for cleansing me. Opening my eyes to the truth, and giving me an unfailing desire to know him, and to continue seeking him and searching the scriptures for a better understanding. Thanks to all for your help in this area. Serenetime | ||||||

For she the Holy Spirit will guide and teach me wisdom and continuing to hold fast to the appointed time. In her Wisdom and Love, and Iesous's Grace. Serenetime | ||||||
65 | What is "Inspiration"? -- correction | 2 Tim 3:16 | serenetime | 58690 | ||
Kalos I am not discussing the character and qualifications of Dr. Ryrie. I don't know much about him. I am speaking in a general sense overall of many. And I thought I WAS speaking on biblical inspiration! Sorry for the confusion. Serenetime |

Mommapbs, If you do not agree with your Pastors interpretation of Scriptures and you find yourself questioning and not comfortable, you have done the right thing by making every effort to discuss this with him. After a few attempts and it seems he just doesn't seem to agree with you then I would ask him to show you why he interprets it the way he does. If he chooses to not use a good Bible Concordance which translate back to the original language and he's only reading a scripture in a chapter without reading the whole chapter to get the correct interpretation as best he can with these tools, And he doesn't see the interpretation you get is agreeable to him and you as well are not using additonal tools to help you get a better understanding. Then after all that ,it is your right to find a Church that's agreeable to your beliefs and interpretation of scripture. Pastors have a big responsibility to leading and guiding christians to correct translation and interpretation to God'S word, I feel that all who teaches needs to realize this. All will be held acoountable to whom they taught and led in their Church. If it was me, I would be open and seeking the truth in the Word daily. You don't want to stay where you're uncomfortable and in a SERIOUS disagreement. If you stayed and found he led you the wrong way and you never studied for yourself seriously in depth, then that's on you and you need to think of the cosequences. Also, I'm real leary of commentaries, but that too is an option in your studies. Oh there is so much out there for the serious Bible scholar. Good Luck in your decisions and God will show you the way. Stay humble and open to his guidance. I hope I've helped. In the Living Water, SERENETIME | ||||||

mommapbs, I agree some with the others, but my concern is what some may consider minor may not be minor to someone else. If you study in depth the scriptures there are so many deeper truths that I have never seen or heard anyone teach in a church. I have belonged to a few churches in my day. And have visited a few as well, and I consider that your question deserves concern. Not everyone is in the same place spiritually and in truth I'm sorry to say. Your need for truth and sound doctrine is valuable. Let no one tell you otherwise. Pray earnestly on this. You deserve to be where you agree with the doctrine and teaching. I do believe that you will get your answer soon, because The Father is faihful in that your sincere need for higher truth and deeper depths of the awesome word of God. I know!!!! In Titus 1:8,9,14. regarding teachers of the Word. it says, verse 8) But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy, temperate; Verse 9) Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort, and to convince the gainsayers (contradicters). verse 14) Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men who turn from the truth. Regarding Studying, 1Tim.2:15, Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that need not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. "Study" means in the original greek-to be diligent, labour, forwardness, earnestly. Rightly dividing- dissect (expound) correctly (the divine) message. responsibility of teachers, and Preachers Col.1:28, Whom we preach warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdon; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus. Warning- to put in mind, to caution or reprove, gently admonish. Wisdom- (worldly or spiritually) clear, cautious, thoughtful, sagaious. Perfect- labour, growth in moral or mental character, completeness, of full age. Your salvation, and correct teaching in the fullness of truth is IMPORTANT!! I truly would like you to keep in touch on the forum, and let me know how it's going, ok?? Love in the Truth of the Living Water, SERENETIME | ||||||

Momma, Isn't that intertesting!! The Father is so awesome!!! Just to watch him work!!! Didn't take long. God the Father, in putting you in the same position, allowed you to advice someone else on the same thing. That's so cool!! And in doing so, are you able to see your answer?? It may be short and sweet or a little more of a process. But whatever God wants you to see, it's PERFECT in whatever way it comes. It blows me away how he works, and answers us sometimes. GOD is SO AWESOME. And he didn't waste any time. He was right on time. I'm sorry I hadn't answered you back before today, I've been a little under the weather, but I'M BACK!!!! Please continue to keep me posted, I LOVE to see The FATHER work, and see his Children get blessed. IN THE LIVING WATER, SERENETIME | ||||||

71 | Empty inside being a Roman Catholic? | James 2:17 | serenetime | 28328 | ||
Emmaus, I'm curious regarding confession to a priest, because through Jesus confession is made and the forgiveness of sins. Also on indulgences. You can be partially forgiven where you have to do something through the church, because of how bad the sin was. Also prayers to Mary. Why Mary? Just curious on your thoughts regarding these. Thanks.

72 | All have sinned | 1 John 1:10 | serenetime | 28587 | ||
Hi Nolan, In 1John 1:10, I feel it's important to point out that by grace we are saved, it is the gift of God. Grace meaning unmerited favor. Unmerited that before Grace and salvation we were all dead in trespasses and sin. If we say we have not sinned, it makes Him a liar, meaning as God feels like a liar in that through Jesus Christ and him crucified and the shedding of his blood there is no remission (forgiveness and cleansing) of sins. We say to God, sorry not needed We were all walking dead people in that before having a knowledge of our condition and sin, we were completely walking in darkness. But once saving grace translated us in newness of life and then we are made aware of our dark, lifeless sinful conditon through the carnal flesh. Boom the light comes on and we know. But with salvation we have a hope in that we have recieved eternal life, not in this fleshly state but when Jesus returns for the body of Christ. Before our eyes were opened there was no hope. Now we see our need for a saviour in that through Jesus confession is made and he is faithful to cleanse us all unrightousness. Now since we know of our past condition and the need to totally trust in Jesus to change our hearts and we now want to not sin. But we all fall short, it's this old carnal sinful nature through the flesh that will in this world there will be temptations on every side, but through Jesus, and the scripture that gives assurance and strength in 1 Cor. 10:13, There hath no temptation taken you that is such is common to man: but God is faithful, Who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. If anyone says they hath not sinned, then they are kidding theirselves. But in some there is this high elevation of one's self and convincing them selves they have no need for a saviour and salvation and they don't want to feel like they now are being controlled, and they don't want to change because life was just fine, so why change. There is total denial, and therefore until they know (truly know) their need for a saviour and recognizing that they do sin they are dead in their tresspasses and sin and have no eternal life and continue to live in darkness. But there are some folks that are so stubborn and self centered they truly don't want salvation and all that comes with it, because for some it's hard to believe in a spirit they cannot see, and may feel not worthy. But I say it doesn't matter where you've been and if you were made to believe that you aren't worthy of anything good in your life. I say Come as you are, God Loves you so much that he's not looking at your clothes, your face, your body, and condemning your thoughts. He knows and LOVES you that he wants you to believe and trust in him. He's not like man and how we think. But how can he love me? Remember who knows the mind of God, and he does not look at the outward appearance, he looks and searches your heart and the inner most depths that may have been hidden for so long. That you forgot was even there, or never knew. It was so buried into you thoughts and heart and a huge wall covered it up. God and Jesus breaks down the walls and barriers and gives you a freedom you have never known. Oh I can go on and on. See I've been there, and I have seen what the world and what the mind can believe that can keep you from this awesome truth. It's a freedom that's almost unimaginable and it's gets better and better. If we say we hath not sinned, this is the first hurdle, this means habitual sin before we were saved through salvation. But now being a new creature and old things have past away, we are not to continually habitually sinning without concionce and guilt in that we are now awake, accountable for ourselves and there should be a renewing and change taking place that we don't continue in habitual sin. because that is without knowlege and changing our hearts to where we can't go back and strive to not sinning. But with faith and a renewness in our minds. So Nolan I say to who may say, I don't sin, and have no need for salvation and God couldn't love this dirt bag, and I can't see God, he must not be there. Whatever it may be, TAKE a Leap of faith, and just try and see what happens. I'm a living testimony of His LOVE and MERCY through Jesus. Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of God, and this is the living spoken word where the more it saturates your being and more and more infilling of the truth, a continuous glorious transformation happens day by day, and the old self is going away and the new is taking over. Thanks for asking the question because this is so deep that it's AWESOME. In the LOVE and TRUTH of The LIVING WATER, SERENETIME | ||||||
73 | shew thee my faith by my works | 1 John 3:12 | serenetime | 63638 | ||
teregram123, I hear what you're saying. I have done a major study on the parable of the wheat and the tares. I've broke it all down into the original language (greek). Actually it was on Matthew 13, which has many parables. On Microsoft word, I am on page 90, and I am still not down with the chapter. Oh, what an enlightenment. Faith and works go hand in hand. One has to have faith for as to do the works. Faith in whom you trust. In Matt.7:20, the word fruit is translated as NT:2590 karpos (kar-pos); probably from the base of NT:726; fruit (as plucked), literally or figuratively: KJV - fruit. NT:726 harpazo (har-pad-zo); from a derivative of NT:138; to sieze (in various applications): KJV - catch (away, up), pluck, pull, take (by force NT:138 haireomai (hahee-reh-om-ahee); probably akin to NT:142; to take for oneself, i.e. to prefer: KJV - choose. Some of the forms are borrowed from a cognate hellomai (hel-lom-ahee); which is otherwise obsolete. NT:142 airo (ah-ee-ro); a primary root; to lift up; by implication, to take up or away; figuratively, to raise (the voice), keep in suspense (the mind), specially, to sail away (i.e. weigh anchor); by Hebraism [compare OT:5375] to expiate sin: KJV - away with, bear (up), carry, lift up, loose, make to doubt, put away, remove, take (away, up). OT:5375 nasa (naw-saw); or nacah (Ps 4:6 [OT:7]) (naw-saw'); a primitive root; to lift, in a great variety of applications, literal and figurative, absol. and rel. (as follows): KJV - accept, advance, arise, (able to, [armor], suffer to) bear (-er, up), bring (forth), burn, carry (away), cast, contain, desire, ease, exact, exalt (self), extol, fetch, forgive, furnish, further, give, go on, help, high, hold up, honorable (man), lade, lay, lift (self) up, lofty, marry, magnify, needs, obtain, pardon, raise (up), receive, regard, respect, set (up), spare, stir up, swear, take (away, up), utterly, wear, yield. OT:7 abad (Aramaic) (ab-ad); corresponding to OT:6: KJV - destroy, perish. OT:6 abad (aw-bad); a primitive root; properly, to wander away, i.e. lose oneself; by implication to perish (causative, destroy): KJV - break, destroy (-uction), not escape, fail, lose, (cause to, make) perish, spend, and surely, take, be undone, utterly, be void of, have no way to flee. Very interesting, Huh? I know this is a deep subject. But as regarding faith and works. The translation for faith in these verses is- James 2:20 20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? KJV James 2:26-3:1 26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also. KJV NT:4102 pistis (pis'-tis); from NT:3982; persuasion, i.e. credence; moral conviction (of religious truth, or the truthfulness of God or a religious teacher), especially reliance upon Christ for salvation; abstractly, constancy in such profession; by extension, the system of religious (Gospel) truth itself: KJV - assurance, belief, believe, faith, fidelity. NT:3982 peitho (pi'-tho); a primary verb; to convince (by argument, true or false); by analogy, to pacify or conciliate (by other fair means); reflexively or passively, to assent (to evidence or authority), to rely (by inward certainty): KJV - agree, assure, believe, have confidence, be (wax) conflent, make friend, obey, persuade, trust, yield. I really liked you question, and I apologize for not being able at this time to get into Revelations. I have to take my son to school. I am not finished, and I have a tenacy to be long winded. Talk to me, I want to discuss this more. Great subject In Love of the Living Water of Truth, SERENETIME |

74 | Will we go thru the tribulation | Rev 3:10 | serenetime | 28320 | ||
retxar,In Rev.11:4 it says that "the two olive trees AND the candlesticks. Meaning with the two olive trees. Every time in the new testament where it speaks of candlestick or candlesticks it's the same translation going back to the original greek. Yes, Zech.4:11 speaks of the same thing, the two olive trees upon the right side of the candlestick and upon the left side thereof? meaning a candlestick on both sides. I'm not questioning the two olive trees that you saying are Joshua and Zerubbabel. But I would have to check that one out. What I'm showing is that candlestick, or candlesticks is churches in Rev.11:4. Serenetime | ||||||
75 | Will we go thru the tribulation | Rev 3:10 | serenetime | 28368 | ||
retxar, I can see what you are saying regarding the two olive trees and the two candlesticks, but candlesticks is like the candlesticks in Rev.1:20. Could it be that these are the two witnesses Philadelphia, and Smyrna? And Would you agree that John in Rev.1:10 where it says, I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet, Verse 11) Saying I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, what thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis,and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea. It was the Lord's day, and John was in the Spirit. Would agree that the Lord's day is when Jesus return's, and the voice as a trumpet could possibly be the last trump coinciding with 1 Cor.15:52-53, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead in Christ shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. Verse 53) For this corruptible must put on incorruptible, and this mortal must put on immortality. Let me know what you think. In the Love of Jesus, Serenetime | ||||||
76 | Rev 3:16 lukewarm | Rev 3:16 | serenetime | 35073 | ||
Zach, I don't want to insult anyone, but then again there can be people who claim to be Christians that have no desire to give up certain things. I know for myself I have had some problems in some areas in my own life after being saved in 1986. But professing to be a Christian is not all it takes. I had a hard time giving up some things I knew were contrary to the word of God, but was constantly seeking God's Wisdom and strength to overcome. Alot of us have had this problem, but we should always have a desire to overcome this. We will always be ever confronted with this world and it's evil, but always striving and asking for guidance. But I think in this perticular scripture Jesus is talking to one's that truly have no desire to fully give up the ways of the world, they're straddling the fence. They want the best of both worlds. It has to be of the heart, in that the Father know's our heart and thoughts and desires, and knows if we desire true holiness in serving him. We all struggle, but if our heart is truly right, and we make mistakes we can be forgiven for our mistakes. Praise God for his Mercy!!! Love in the Father's Perfection, Serenetime | ||||||
