61 | Women Preachers? Yes or No? | NT general Archive 1 | GeorJoy | 94877 | ||
We "belierers" are not under the law. In many ways, todays Churches are as the Pharasees and Sadjucees in the days of the early Church. No matter what discussion man may participate in concerning your question, or what conclusion man may come to, the meaning of the following verse will never change. (KJV) Gal 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. One thought though. The above verse did not state that "there is neither homosexual nor hedrosexual...." Scripture refers to such as an "abomination." Nature itself condems such a so-called " alternate lifestyle". You'll need to understand the culture of the original Church to get a full answer to your post concerning women preachers. Perhaps someone will post a more discriptive answer concerning such. God Bless George |

62 | Women Preachers? Yes or No? | NT general Archive 1 | GeorJoy | 94916 | ||
Tell me where Christ, Paul or anyone else in Scripture states that a woman (is not) to speak in the church. Gal 2:21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain. I cannot say that I personally feel comfortable with a woman as the leader of the church, but I wonder if the Jews didn't feel uncomfortable when they were lead into battle by Deborah. The Law stated in Deu 19:21 And thine eye shall not pity; but life shall go for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot. Jesus stated in Mat 5:38 You have heard that it was said, "An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth." Mat 5:39 But I say to you, Do not resist evil. But whoever shall strike you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also. If you choose to be under the law, so be it. You would be wise to consider though, that you should observe the whole law. And that by the law which you so adamantly cling to, you will be condemned, for the law or the observance thereof has yet to cleanse any of their sins. Personally, I and all (true) believers, (those who have heard and accepted His “WHOLE” Word,) have accepted the fact that the law was imperfect. We have chosen "Grace." Being so adamant concerning the law, perhaps you should consider granting Paul’s wish in Gal 5:17. I like the NIV version in particular where that verse is concerned. “ As for those agitators, I wish they would go the whole way and emasculate themselves. George |

Hank, you know as well as I do that this forum could not support a post large enough to thoroughly answer your post, so generally speaking, do you believe that Christ and His "unleavened" word is taught and adheared to in the Church as a whole today? Mine was a strong statement, but ponder it deeply. A simple yes or no will suffice. George |

Let me rephrase my statement. We believers “who are led by the Spirit” are not under the law. Gal 5:18 My apologies. George |

Bless your heart Hank, for I agree nearly completely. I believe though, that we two can agree to almost disagree. There are many Church's and individuals, I am sure you will agree, who profess Christ yet insist on deluting His word with their personal insertions and removals thereof. These are those of whom I speak. I would assume that geography has a lot to do with their numbers. Your Brother in Christ George |

69 | re: Jesus' age | NT general Archive 1 | GeorJoy | 95011 | ||
There is no statement in scripture as to Christ's actual age when He was crucified. There is evidence though that would suggest that He was between 33 and 34. I hope I have been of assistance. George |

I've not done much studying on the subject, but from what little of the surface I have scratched, I would say that the "Shroud of Turrin" is probably the best likeness to be found. It appears to me that many artist's renditions, (although as Hank stated, they can only be attributed to the artist's imagination,) of our Lords likeness, would support this statement. I would have to say that DarcyA's post quoting John 20:29, pretty much says it all. George |

Dear brother, your knowledge has you confused. Forget everything you know about OT Judaism. Read what our Lord said in the NT, then apply only what "He referred to" from your previous learning’s. It is so simple, yet we are so accustomed to complexity that we fail to comprehend the simplicity of such a statement as what Christ said pertaining to divorce. This is where confusion and dissention comes in between Christians. We however, I am sure can agree to disagree. In loving mutuality. George |

72 | what is an Amen Offering? | NT general Archive 1 | GeorJoy | 100656 | ||
Hi justme I feel led to send a heart felt, and loving apology your way. You and I have had our disagreements in this forum, but I feel that we have never disagreed on the ultimate answer; we simply disagreed on the method of delivery. There is no doubt in my mind that we are brothers in Christ. You have your way of witnessing, and likewise I, mine. Mine simply happens to offend you. Please forgive me, for my way offends many. I make no apologies for my way of witnessing; only that it offends you. Many times when I realized I was offending others, I could not for the life of me understand why! Only that I was voicing the Word of truth. I did not, and do not take pleasure in offending my brother. However, there was and is something in me that will allow me to be no other way. Ezekiel 33:1-9, particularly verses 8 and 9 best describe the way I am. Exhorting In Christ George |

73 | Is obedience to every command necessary? | NT general Archive 1 | GeorJoy | 101022 | ||
I have been baptized, and I have heard it said that a Christian must be baptized. Yet I can find nothing in the word that says such. If one is to advance beyond simple salvation and grow spiritually, one must be baptized. To receive the Holy Spirit, one must be baptized. Yet "Salvation" requires nothing more than to believe in Jesus Christ; that He died on the cross and paid the penalty for our sins; confess our sins, to forsake them and live for him... Baptism is a symbol and a display of ones faith. It is not a requirement for salvation. Salvation is a gift by Grace... Eph 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Eph 2:9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. It was not said "through faith and baptism." I find 59 verses in the KJV with a form of the word "baptize." Mar 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. Mar 16:16 is the closest verse I can find that could be construed as to mean that to be saved, one must be baptized. Yet, even this verse does not make this statement. Neither does it say "but he that (is baptized) not shall be damned." The blood of Jesus Christ has provided salvation for all who believe, for with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Rom 10:10 George |

75 | Just a thought. What's yours? | NT general Archive 1 | GeorJoy | 102452 | ||
Just a thought… What is the church? Mat 18:20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. It is; People in a community environment. It is; People worshiping. It is; People loving one another, sharing Christ. It is; People evangelizing. From his book “Spiritual Gifts,” I quote B. E. Underwood. The tendency to drift and to loose certain vital emphases makes it absolutely necessary that there be prophets to speak the Word of God to His church in every age. Who recognizes the prophets when they stare them in the face? I contend that, though perhaps not legally, yet biblically, The Bible Study forum can be classified as a church. Every church needs a Pastor Teacher, a Shepherd. I would like to think that herein we could consider our Lord and Savior as just that; our Shepherd, pastor and teacher of The Bible Study Forum Church over the Internet. Scripturally denominated, believers of the Word. One should pray that our Lord will give us patience to accept the diversity of people in our church, that together we would make up a group strong enough to serve God in any way… Just a thought. What's yours? George |

"this Forum can be addictive" Yes, most assuredly. It can be, and for many like TV and the internet in general, IT IS. I think we will agree that it is better than the latter. Personally, I come here to share my biblical studies, hopefully to teach and just as hopefully, to learn. Church is many things to many people. "For where ther are two or more gathered in my name, ther I am in the midst of them." If I can make one change , plant one seed, convince one soul of a single truth that our Lord has revealed to me, I will have achieved my goal herein. Though even we do not always agree, a dear brother in the forum reciently told me that an exhorter isn't going to win any popularity contests. It put me in mind of the prophets and how they were often ridiculed. Not that I should make a comparison, but I have prayed for the acceptance of 3 particular gifts most earnestly. Toungs; The interpritation thereof; and for the life of me, I do not know why, prophesy... Reciently I learned of the mental pain that scripture says those gifted with the latter will experience. I can't help but to wonder if I have been blessed with the latter of my prayers already, perhaps many years ago, for my heart constantly bleeds for those herein and all who seek but do not see when it is so often right in front of them. This thought was and is a considerable consolation to me, for I most assuredly am not popular herein, but I am what I am, and through my experience herein, I pray to smooth out the rough and jagged edges of this building stone of the church. By the way. I am NON DEMONATIONAL. Scripture is what I believe in. If I sound Penticostal, Baptist Methodist or whatever, it is due to the fact that no matter the denomination, the majority are based on scripture. God Bless George |

77 | A SHOVEl and a HOe | Gen 2:1 | GeorJoy | 93814 | ||
If you think about it, it is a valid question. There was no law at the time (other than Gods command.) "Where there is no law, there is no sin." If I were there durring that time, I would be concerned. However, considering the fact that I wasn't, I'll just place the thought in the back of my mind and go on to bigger and more important questions and answers. Questions like, how can I better serve Him in the here and now, while I have the opporitunity? George |

78 | Did Adam and Eve go to heaven? | Gen 2:1 | GeorJoy | 93816 | ||
Where does scripture state concerning Adam and Eve that “they were not yet mortal?” Or that “They were not able to have children?” Or that “Because of the Fall, we are blessed with physical bodies?” Where does scripture state that the sinful flesh is anything other than a curse, much less a blessing? How do you or anyone else know “what would have been ours had Adam and Eve remained in the garden?” I see a glimmer of a hint that you may be advocating “Grace,” in which case I would tentatively agree with your note, however your note implies more an agreement with the disobedient act of Adam and Eve. Your statement that “When Adam learned what had happened, he wisely chose to partake also therefore being able to obey the command to multiply,” nullifies any thought of wisdom on your part. I dare not imagine where you gleaned such demented views. Most assuredly, they did not originate in scripture. Please. Turn to The Word. George |

79 | Did Adam and Eve go to heaven? | Gen 2:1 | GeorJoy | 94014 | ||
So, you are saying that transgression is not sin. Ok, I now know where you'r coming from. One question though. Is it because you, or he whom you follow was there in the garden that you consider yourself so inlightened? The only "non mortal" in the garden that was ever mentioned in scripture, other than The Living God Himself, was the serpent. Your words most assuredly are not from God. gbennett76, I don't know who you are following, but if they are not teaching and preaching from scripture, they are lieing to you. If you want to believe such lies as you have quoted, there is nothing I or anyone else can say to change your mind. If you want truth, I would strongly suggest you turn to a "BIBLE BELIEVING CHURGH" and start emercing yourself in the LIVING WATER provided by the Holy Scriptures before it is too late and you are given up to a reprobate mind. Reprobate per Mr. W 1 : to condemn strongly as unworthy, unacceptable, or evil 2 : to foreordain to damnation 3 : to refuse to accept : REJECT Your ignorance portrayed by your babblings thus far depicts only a light covering your of mind. It will only get heavier if you continue. If you are in the least concerned with the ultimate condition of your imMORTAL Soul, I would strongly suggest you consider adhearing to the following. 2Ti 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. (2Ti 2:16 But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.) May the One and Only True God Have mercy on those who are sucked in by those who spout such profane and vain babblings as this note is in response to. George |

80 | Where does the 6th day end? | Gen 2:1 | GeorJoy | 94016 | ||
If we were still in the 6th day, then it would have been said "and He will rest on the seventh day." I believe Ge 2:2 stated, "...and he rested on the seventh day..." How can anyone who can read; anyone who believes scripture is the word of God; feel the need to debate such a question? I am not very familiar with J's W doctrine. What little I have heard (from the poor, confused and demented souls who follow them,)of their profane and vain babblings, has sickened me enough, that I will not allow them to get their tenticles in deep enough to confuse me. coffee please, study the following. Then turn to the Living Water of the Word. Your mind will be clensed of all the muck therein. Once such trash has been clensed, you will see clearly... 2Ti 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 2Ti 2:16 But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness. God Bless George |
