Hi Doc, Yes, they used it for their toiletries and for their skin due to the arridness of the climate. Since these places are steeped in customs, I would imagine some places still use it just as we still use a gentle oil on babies although not olive oil. I had a mental picture of the oiliness of the parts of the Tabernacle and the sand and silt in the wilderness, it could be quite a mess. Like laying on the beach in the sand just after you put on sun-screen. terrib |

Hi Janae, "That pouring out is the anointing. It comes when God decides to release it." That is not quite right. For anointing cannot come if we already have been anointed. And you cannot pray for the anointing if you already have the anointing. For the Scriptures tell us that we are God's anointed (we ARE already anointed). For as Moses (who was anointed) did not see the face of God, yet God passed His Glory in front of him and afterwards Moses had to wear a vail over his face because of the radiance (he had an experience). This was the Glory of the Lord not the anointing. Jesus said, Were two or more are gathered in My name, there I will be also. The Spirit that is in you which is the Spirit of Christ is bringing you into the Glory of the Lord. This is the presence that one experiences. As God has shown Himself as a Great Cloud of Glory in the Tabernacle to verify His presence, so the Lord verifies His presence by the closeness and the fulness of the Holy Spirit to His children. We do use the phrase "It is a pouring out" and this is a truism for it is a True Blessing. terrib This I speak and not of the Lord, but if the closeness of the Spirit were not limited we would be translated. |

Hi Matt, "just out of interest, what is your position in the church, and what church do you follow?" My Spirit given gift is "Helps". It is what I have been best at, and I accept that. In the corporate world the position would be called a floater. I go where they need me.

Starfire, If I may be bold and answer with those that responded to your question: Col 2:5(NASB) For even though I am (we are) absent in body, nevertheless I am (we are) with you in spirit, rejoicing to see your good discipline and the stability of your faith in Christ. Col 2:6 Therefore as you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, Col 2:7 having been firmly rooted and now being built up in Him and established in your faith, just as you were instructed, and overflowing with gratitude. Col 2:8 See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, according to the tradition of men, according to the elementary principles of the world, rather than according to Christ. Thank you for lifting our spirits also. Your brother, terrib |

Dear reader, Interesting article given for "another perspective": Quoted from article: "...Are we to understand that Christ had just commanded his disciples to eat his flesh, then said their doing so would be pointless? Is that what "the flesh is of no avail" means? "Eat my flesh, but you’ll find it’s a waste of time"—is that what he was saying?..." Yes, that is exactly what He meant. For it is not in the flesh that we have eternal life but in the Spirit. The above article actually proves the Scriptures. Thank you Emmaus, Yes, another perspective indeed! terrib |

68 | WHAT DOES TWO GOLD CHERUBIMS MEAN | Acts 2:17 | terrib | 112516 | ||
Greetings Gusisrealtome, Going by what you have said, I would say that the Lord might have been trying to teach you something. But since you say that you resisted and the cherubim flew away, you were not willing to listen at that time. Perhaps at a later date you will allow the dream to unfold more. I am a little confused by what you mean by, tried to "slay me in the spirit". This term is usually used in a group meeting were there is a healing service, either physical or spiritual, is being performed. May I ask you a question? Have you attended or are you attending, what I would call, camp town meetings, like older denominational Pentecostal meetings? I ask this because I haven't seen this for a while. I used to attend an older church were the preacher or an elder of the church would put their hands on you and the Holy Spirit would come upon you so strong that you couldn't stand up and you would fall over on the floor. And in that state the Holy Spirit would show you or teach you something that was needed in your life. But, not being an interpeter of dreams, all this would be supposition. And since cherubims do not have 'hands' and Paul says to lay 'hands' on a person for their healing, I don't see the connection to being "slain in the Spirit". You might want to discuss it with your pastor. And I would ask the Lord, first, was the dream from Him and second, what He meant by it. Then, be willing to accept the answer. terrib |

Dear ptgard05, Reading some of this thread I hope in all consideration that you find the answers you are looking for. This is a very important topic and should be addressed as such. With all dignity toward you and your thoughts please consider some truths: You state: "God created them this way afterall" God has created certain laws or as we might call them today, physics, that pertain to how things get generated. In Genesis the tree will produce after it's kind. The cow will reproduce after it's kind. The man will reproduce after his kind. It is not that God creates each of us individually except by the laws that He has put into place in the governing of this reproductive cycle. He is called our Creator because He first created Adam and Eve and we are all descendents from them. But the laws He has put into effect are that there is life in the sperm of the man and there is life in the egg of the woman and when these two laws join another law comes into effect bringing forth a reproduction of the man and the woman. Be fruitful and multiply. You can't get an offspring from a lizard and a cow. The laws that are in effect do not compliment each other in that case. He created the laws of light refraction as we see a rainbow in the sky after a rain. Scientifically we know how this happens, but God put the law into effect so it 'could' happen. If we say that God created a homosexual from birth then we also would have to say that God created me sinful for the Scripture says that all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. This is not true, it is by the way of a willful act that sin came upon mankind. Man was created perfect and was given free rein over his own actions. It was man's choice not God's. So to say that a man was created a homosexual is also illogical. Since he is the offspring of his or her parents then his or her parents would have to be homosexual also. Look at a pine forest; each tree is different, yet each tree is a pine. Just as in humans, each person is different, yet we are all humans. These are because of the laws of reproduction that God has set in motion at the time creation. Just as some men who are hairy and some are not. Just as some women have large breasts and some do not. It is from the selection of the coming together of the genes of the parents passed down through the ages that these things happen, not that God has chosen this person over that person. It is the law of reproduction, which God created in the beginning. All physical structure is passed on through the genes. All moral structure is learned. Which is also scientific and proven. Homosexuality is not hereditary, somewhere along the line it is learned, experienced or desired by the offspring or a possible traumatic event, such as is known today as a "bad touch". If it were hereditary one would have to say that God created homosexuality. This He did not do, He created a free will perfect man and a free will perfect woman, what happened after that was man's design, not God's. Man became so corrupt that God wiped them out with the flood. Man became so high minded He confused their language. Man became so corrupt that He destroyed Sodom and Gomorra. These were all man's doings, not God's. Throughout the Scripture we see the extent that man has gone to propel himself into being a god…just as Satan promised Eve in the garden. Therefore, it is written: (Rom 1:20-22 KJV) "For the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: Because that, when they knew God, they glorified Him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools". A conclusion must be drawn; all that are born have a free choice how to act and react. Commandment at creation: Be fruitful and multiply. (Gen 2:24 KJV) Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. In all respect, terrib |

Hi Ray, 1 John 3:24 talks about the witness of the Spirit of Christ, some think the spirit of sanctification, but not in this case. (see also 4:13) ('which' and 'whom' are the same word in the Greek) 1 John 4:1,2,3,6: Yes all these should be spirit, (except in v2 "Spirit of God"), for these spirits are talking about men's spirits or the spirits of a doctrines, or possibly angels, not Divine Spirit. ref: (Galatians 1:8 KJV) "But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed." These also would be spirits. terrib |

Hi Ray, (1 John 4:2 KJV) Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: The "Spirit of God" in the above is the Holy Spirit. reference: (1 Corinthians 12:3 KJV) Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost. Ray, concerning Rom 8:15, I do not agree in the NASB using "a spirit of adoption" instead of "the Spirit of adoption". Because the agent that brought us into this family is the Holy Spirit; and this very Spirit continues to witness to us the grace in which we stand, by enabling us to call God your Father, with the utmost child-like confidence and affection. terrib |

Ray, You wrote: "However, I still continue to believe in the Giver and the gift. The Spirit indwells us and gives us the gift of the *spirit which we receive. 1 Corinthians 12:4, "Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit." Now you are confusing the spiritual gifts of the Holy Ghost with the Gift of God, the Holy Spirit. terrib |

Ray, Just a thought. Have you tried substituting the word Ghost for the word Spirit where they are the same and use the word spirit where it talks about man's spirit. Maybe that would lesson some of the confusion. Either way, please remember to use an Authoritative version whenever you quote to any other forum member. If sometimes it is confusing to you just think what it would do to someone who is not aware of your ties to capitalization. terrib |

Hi Ray, I can't answer this question because I do not have a NKJ. But, how you have written it : (Acts 1:4, NKJ, "but to wait for the Promise of the Father,..."), it would all depend on how much emphasis you put on 'the'. Whichever way it is written we know by context of the Scriptures that it is the Holy Spirit. These are the versions I have: Act 1:4 (ASV) and, being assembled together with them, he charged them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, which, said he, ye heard from me: (CEV) While he was still with them, he said: Don't leave Jerusalem yet. Wait here for the Father to give you the Holy Spirit, just as I told you he has promised to do. (Darby) and, being assembled with them , commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to await the promise of the Father, which said he ye have heard of me. (DRB) And eating together with them, he commanded them, that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but should wait for the promise of the Father, which you have heard (saith he) by my mouth. (ESV) And while staying with them he ordered them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, which, he said, "you heard from me; (Geneva) And when he had gathered them together, he commaunded them, that they should not depart from Hierusalem, but to waite for the promise of the Father, which sayde hee, yee haue heard of me. (ISV) While he was meeting with them, he ordered them, "Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the Father's promise, about which you heard me speak. (KJV) And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me. (KJV-1611) And being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Hierusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye haue heard of me. (LBLA) Y reuniéndolos, les mandó que no salieran de Jerusalén, sino que esperaran la promesa del Padre: La cual, les dijo, oísteis de mí; (LITV) And having met with them, He charged them not to leave Jerusalem, but to await the promise of the Father, "which you heard of Me; (MKJV) And having met with them, He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to await the promise of the Father which you heard from Me.

Dear Forum, Rom 13:8 "Owe no man any thing..." Some use this for any type of debt owed.

Hi Ray, If God has revealed them through the Spirit and we have the Spirit in us, why are we searching for them. They have already been revealed. I do see your point also. Jesus also used this Isa 64:4 reference. Mat 13:14-15 "And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive: For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them." I have heard many TV preachers use this Isaiah verse for describing future heavenly events, which in a way could be true, but all the time it really has to do with spiritual awakening. Thanks for the reply Ray, Keep praying for this forum, terrib |

80 | How "mature" in Christ are we today? | 1 Cor 3:1 | terrib | 111078 | ||
Hello TommyS, Jesus said: Joh 14:2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. A true meaning of this "mansions" could be the word "placements" or "positions". In my Father's house are many places (because of individual gifts that I have bestowed upon My creation and each person is an individual and I will take him into My house and place him where he will best fit). As Paul states: Eph 4:16 From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love. "by that which every joint supplieth" equals what gifts we have. "effectual working in the measure of every part" equals using what God gave us. Our Father knows our rate of growth and He will lead us (not push) to the next level. The disciples ate and drank and lived with God for three years and some of them still didn't know exactly who He was. Don't be hard on yourself and don't do too much self diagnostics for there is one out there that would enjoy in getting us turned inward thus making us to forget our first love. We would call that worshipping the creature more than the Creator. All things have there time and we can not judge ourselves by looking at someone else, because we are all different. Enjoy the day and say "This is the day the Lord hath made, I will be glad and rejoyce in it". Joh 16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in Me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. Don't sweat the small stuff, terrib |
