61 | when is the antichrist coming | Luke 10:27 | WalkingTalkingBible | 125016 | ||
Hi, hefourgvs, to understand God's word you must have the Holy Ghost dwelling within (not saying that you don't) to help to rightly divide the word of truth when you study. However, I will be very, very brief for now: Daniel was given a message from God. The message was to the Jews. After dealing with them for 69 weeks (God's time, not ours), He turned His attention to Gentiles, saving all (not just Gentiles) who will accept Jesus as Savior. But He promised to deal with the Jews, so in the last week (70th), He will deal with the Jews again. But prophesy will be fulfilled. The Jews will return to Jerusalem to rebuild the city, the Antichrist will make a 7 year peace covenant with the Jews and he will break it half way in, the Antichrist will have the temple destroyed and he will put his image there for all to worship him (known as the abomination of desolation), Satan will be bound for a thousand years, the New Jerusalem and Christs returns to reign. All of this can be found in the book of Daniel, Revelations, and throughout other parts of both the O.T. and the N.T. Sorry for being so brief, but it is better to study these event by event.

63 | antichrist | Luke 10:27 | WalkingTalkingBible | 124956 | ||
Hi, c marengo, what's SBC? I believe that things in the spirit have happened in eternity past, but that certainly doesn't mean that it has already happened on earth. I can't make you believe in the person of the antichrist, but I just pray that you're not around when his time comes. In no way should any Christian be scared of the devil, he's defeated and God has given us power over him. But like I said before, that doesn't make him null and void. So, do you believe that the devil has no affect on your life? The tribulation has already come? My friend, there is so much error in your understanding that I can only pray (I say this out of love and concern). Please don't think I'm being mean, but it's true. What concerns me most is that you may be (or are) teaching others to believe what you believe. Being aware of our enemy is not following Christ out of fear, it's following Him out of wisdom. Please ask God to fill you with the Holy Ghost. He will help you understand the Word of God. WalkingTalkingBible |

64 | antichrist | Luke 10:27 | WalkingTalkingBible | 124754 | ||
Hi, c marengo, are you a new convert? I ask because of your zeal and thankfulness for Christ in your life! There's nothing wrong with that, in fact, I admire it. But the truth must be given to a couple of points you made in your post. You say, "antichrist is not a person unless you are speaking of yourself apart from christ." The antichrist is an actual person. Because Satan will use him to mock Jesus, he will be a man just like Jesus (except he is not God, like Jesus). He will be empowered by Satan and work miracles and signs to deceive and lure people from God. This is in the books of Daniel (7) and Revelation (13) and throughout the four Gospels. The antichrist will erect an image of himself and demand people to bow down and worship him (abomination of desolation in Matthew 24:15 and Mark 13:14). This is important to acknowledge because the very souls we are to witness to and win (or warn) will be heading for the Tribulation period if they live, and eternal separation from God if they die before the Rapture. We do have a battle. Jesus defeated Satan spiritually. He overcame everything the enemy could ever bring our way. But the devil didn't go away. Yes, we have the victory if we believe. However, we are still in this world system and are still in this flesh. As believers, we walk in faith that the enemy is defeated, because he is, but that doesn't make him stop trying to kill, to steal, and to destroy (John 10:10a). If we walk with our heads in the clouds and pretend like the devil is gone away, we walk in ignorance. We are exhorted to "Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil." (Ephesians 6:11) If we didn't have a battle, why would we need spiritual armour? "Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you." (James 4:7) Jesus' redemptive work on the cross took the dominion and power that man lost through sin and gives it to those who are fully committed to and accepts Him as Savior (born again). Yes, we have the victory, but we have to keep ourselves in subjection to the will of God and since we are still in the flesh and in this world system, Jesus has given us what we need to successfully stay saved until He returns for us.

Hi, Dadda, you have been given some very encouraging and truthful words from those who obviously care enough to share their own testimonies with you. Please listen to them. Maybe, as a new convert, you didn't know smoking was not of God, but now you do. "Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin." James 4:17 Yes, God will deliver you from the burden of smoking, only if you are willing to give it up. Psalm 55:22 says, "Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and He shall sustain thee: He shall never suffer the righteous to be moved." You have to be willing to totally let go, totally give it up. God will not TAKE it from you. You have a choice to make. Dadda, please don't use other people, whether professing Christians or not, as your example to live the holy life God calls for. Jesus is your example and He did not smoke, over eat, curse, fornicate, hate, covet, lie, or any other sin. As a child of God, you should hate what God hates and love what God loves. Right now you know that God doesn't approve smoking or any other act that defiles the body (His temple). Since God loves souls and wants them saved, I would not want to be a stumbling block to others who would be saved. Even some unbelievers feel that smoking is not good. So, what if God led you to witness to an unbeliever? I don't think he would be very accepting of Christ because your smoking will kill your witness (not that you would witness with a cigarette between your fingers, but the smell stays with you). Afterall, if God can't deliver you from something as small as smoking, then how is He going to deliver someone from a life of sin?? "Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men:" 2 Corinthians 3:2 Your life should reflect God and not fleshy desires and lack of self control! Know that you are not alone in this. As God commands us to bear each other's burdens (Galatians 6:2) and I know this is not easy, I will be praying for you and with you. But you have to acknowledge that this is not of God and want to be freed from the burden of smoking, and He will do it. Then you can be concerned about spiritual things. "Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines: for our vines have tender grapes." Song of Solomon 2:15 WalkingTalkingBible "A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump."

"He that cometh to God must believe that He is. . ." Hebrews 11:6 Hi, pcdarcan, can I ask you - Do all good and moral people go to Heaven (God's everlasting Kingdom)? Jehovah's Witness and followers are called a cult because the religion is based on a god and not God. Their beliefs are based on a bible and not the Bible (the Living Word - God). Throughout the Word of God (Old and New Testaments) is God as the Creator (Father), God as the Word (Son), and God as the Holy Spirit (1 Timothy 3:16). The leader of the Jehovah's Witness religion made God the way He could understand Him. God is not a word, He is His Word - which is Jesus. The Holy Spirit is not a force - He is God in spirit. The Living God is a Holy Trinity - one God, three manifestations - not separate. I've had the opportunity to talk with some Jehovah Witness members and they are nice people when they talk to you - I agree about that - but there's no anointing. I also work with some J.W.'s and some of their lifestyles are as those that don't believe. The only way members are added is to present themselves in this matter and only someone who doesn't know God will follow. I don't say this to put you down because before I believed, I didn't know God either. I know that if more Christians would witness and let the Light shine in their lives, more souls would be added to God's real Kingdom. But face it, the unsaved is not looking for truth, they're looking for something to make them feel good. They want to be told that they can do what they want and still go to Heaven (God's everlasting Kingdom). But I have to tell you that only the believing (those who KNOW God and believe in all of Him and not just what they want) will be in God's Kingdom. The J.W. religion (I won't be disrespectful and say cult) and it's doctrine teaches of an idol god and not the Living God. "Not every one that saith unto Me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven." Matthew 7:21 WalkingTalkingBible |

68 | Question for Jehovah's Witness friend | John 14:28 | WalkingTalkingBible | 124606 | ||
Hi, Tara, I must say that you know your religion well (too bad God is not about religion in that sense). I've read your posts and I don't blame you for your erroneous beliefs, I blame the false teachers and prophets that fed you that stuff. However, I only want to help (and I'll do that by prayer). I would like to ask you: What does your doctrine say for 1 Timothy 3:16? What does your doctrine say for Isaiah 9:6 and 1 John 5:7? What about the Holy Ghost (Spirit)? I wouldn't let "s" or "S" deceive me. The Holy Spirit is not an "it." Contrary to what you have been taught, the Holy Spirit is not a force, He is a living being, He is the manifestation of God (just like Jesus) that lives within true believers, showing them the difference between truth and lies, and showing the need and importance of redemption (John 14:17, 26; 16:7-13). Let's not try to understand God using unparallel comparisons. A natural father and son can't be the same flesh, neither husband and wife (spiritully, they can). God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit can be seen in this way: A man is a father, is married, and works as a mailman (these are only used as examples - no spiritual meaning). To his child, he's a father. To his wife, he's a husband, and to his employer, he's a mailman. Being a father doesn't take away from being a husband or mailman, neither does being a mailman take away from being a father and husband. How many men are there? Just one! So it is with God - one God, three manifestations (and a whole lot of names). The Holy Spirit is not prejudice - He will dwell with you and show you the truth if you ask Him to.

69 | Presenting symptoms: demon possession | Mark 9:17 | WalkingTalkingBible | 124598 | ||
Hi, Levi L, to a carnal minded person, there is no other explanation for physical and medical sicknesses but to say that it is caused by a virus, bacterium, or genetic disorder. If a 21st century boy went to a medical practitioner with those symptoms, it would be diagnosed as epilepsy or something like that. Where did epilepsy come from? The disciples couldn't help the boy (hit a brick wall) - perhaps they needed to fast and pray (Mark 9:29). For those walking by faith, there first, the responsibility to walk upright, and second, there is an enemy that oppresses in all kinds of ways. When Jesus healed the man that was paralyzed, He said, "your sins be forgiven you (Luke 5:20). Sin gives the enemy permission to come into the lives of people (Romans 6:16; 2 Timothy 2:26). Gehazi's heart was not right - he would've told the woman to go away if Elisha hadn't been there (2 Kings 4:27). 2 Kings 5 tells us where Gehazi's heart was. I'm not saying every sickness is caused by sin, but everything natural (good or bad) has a spiritual source. WalkingTalkingBible |

Hi, Ray, have a safe and blessed trip and I will be studying these verses for discussion when you return.

71 | Demon-possessed believer? | Luke 4:33 | WalkingTalkingBible | 124210 | ||
Hi, charis, I stand corrected. I should've use the words "demon-oppressed" instead of possessed. In no way do I believe that true believers are possessed by demons, but he will try to oppress if we don't live by faith and walk in victory. I agree (and in no means walk in fear of a defeated foe!) that true believers are FREE indeed! Jesus has already conquered the devil and God has given us power to deal with whatever the enemy brings our way. Thanks for your response! More than a conqueror, WalkingTalkingBible |

72 | Demon-possessed believer? | Luke 4:33 | WalkingTalkingBible | 124209 | ||
Hi, Ray, I believe that the Holy Ghost, which is God, dwells in the believer after he/she has been filled. I would use "filled" and "dwells within" interchangeably. According to John 14:17b ("but ye know Him; for He dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.") the Holy Spirit, God Himself lives within and not a holy spirit. We belong to God and are used by Him (as opposed to Him being used by us). Going back to 2 Corinthians 10:4, the weapons of our warfare are "mighty through God" (KJV) meaning that the weapons are only mighty by the power of God. Someone who does not have the Holy Spirit dwelling within may have the weapons, but will not be empowered because aside from the power of God, we have no power. Gift, to me, indicates that we cannot earn the Holy Ghost, He will dwell with whomever asks Him to (Luke 11:13b). God is the Power, He is a Spirit (John 4:24) and He is Holy. He is the Spirit that empowers, but no one has His power apart from Him. Even for those of us in whom He dwells, we have no power but the Power that's in us. The Holy Spirit, being a manifestation of God, proceeds from Him (John 15:26) in that He is not less than God, but is God. Jesus also says, "the Father sent Me" meaning that God sent His Word. With the Holy Spirit, God sends His Spirit. Mark 14:26 is still a mystery to me (I haven't studied it in depth) because Revelation 5:6 says that the Lamb was standing in the midst of the Thrown (where God is sitting), but He took the book out of God's right hand. Now I believe that Jesus and God are one, but right now, I can only understand that God has three manifestations but all three are One. Thanks for responding and elaborating, WalkingTalkingBible |

Hi, Vendeak7, and welcome to the forum. Depending on how you define "demon-possessed," a believer can be. When the topic is brought up, many tend to think of the possession in the "Exorcist." However, Paul writes in 2 Corinthians 10:4b - 5, "pulling down strongholds and casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ." These are daily activities in which every believer should be involved. "Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?" Romans 6:16 When you look at "possessed" it means to "have control over." Many Christian lives are filled with depression, anger, unforgiveness, bitterness, pride, and many other ungodly things. They are believers but have not been delivered from those strongholds. Where do these strongholds come from? Certainly not God! "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. . ." Hosea 4:6a There are believers who "float around on cloud nine" and think that because they believe, they are safe from the attacks of the enemy. There is a very good reason Gods tells us to "put on the whole armour." To believe is one thing, but to be free is another. The Holy Ghost empowers believers against the enemy and his spirits, but He's like a loaded gun in the hands of a baby - all power and don't know how to use it (Him). Some take Salvation at face value while the devil with his demons are afflicting their bodies, touching their finances, bothering their minds, and destroying their relationships. Some may think this is okay, but that's not what Jesus says. Yes, the demons acknowledge the Holy Ghost, He is God. However, spiritual ignorance gives them permission into lives. We (Holy Ghost filled believers) have the power (through faith in the Word of God) to pull down those strongholds and get those demons out of our lives. WalkingTalkingBible |

75 | I'm guessing, cause they're his disciple | NT general Archive 1 | WalkingTalkingBible | 123857 | ||
". . . but some doubted. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:" Matthew 28:17b, 19 "And they, when they had heard that he was alive, and had been seen of her, believed not. And they went and told it unto the residue: neither believed they them." Mark 16:11, 13 "And their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they believed them not. . . Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have. . . And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat? . . . And he took it, and did eat before them . . . And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. . . but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high." Luke 24:11, 39, 41, 43, and 47 The disciples were having a problem believing that Jesus had resurrected. These verses (above) are from the other three Gospels and are parallel to John 20:18-23. "He breathed on them" showing them that He was not a ghost, but alive again. In Luke's account, He ate fish and honeycomb, and told them to touch Him, to show that He had resurrected.

76 | What is it about the Gospel? | 2 Tim 1:12 | WalkingTalkingBible | 123846 | ||
Hi, Aixen7z4, the apostle Paul was persecuted by those Jews (Pharisees and Sadducees) who didn't accept Jesus as the Messiah and those who were against the teaching of (His) resurrection (Matthew 22:23; Acts 17:18,32). Paul was a Pharisee and the son of a Pharisee, who not only persecuted the followers of Christ, but had them exiled, put into prison, and killed, until He was saved and filled with the Holy Ghost (Acts 9). "Gospel" and "shame" do not seem to belong in the same sentence, but think of Christians (the real ones) today: how often does one spread the Good News of Jesus Christ to the unsaved? All of a sudden, they get scared to say something - maybe for fear of rejection or embarrassment. I wonder how many Christians would even openly confess Christ (even with bumber stickers, wearing crosses and T-shirts) if they knew that someone wanted to kill them or put them in prison if they mentioned His name? This is the shame Paul was talking about. He could've easily chosen to close his mouth and hide because so many wanted him silenced - even to death. Paul, regardless of what he was suffering by spreading an unpopular message, continued steadfastly in faith, doing the work of God, and was one of God's chosen used to lay the foundation of the Church. He is our example of how to walk in faith in times when we are led to witness, win souls, or spread the goodness of God - boldly! As it was mentioned to Timothy in 2 Timothy 1:7, we (true believers) were not given the spirit of fear. "Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels." (Mark 8:38) Does this help any? WalkingTalkingBible |

I am asking God for direction in this situation. The person who makes the announcement is being obedient.

Thank you, following him, for your response. I needed your input as I am deciding not to support the ministry that believes that (I've been a supporter for almost 3 years) because I've learned the truth and I see the new converts dropping like flies. . . The truth is, and there's no way to tarry for tongues, that God gives the utterance. The new converts are told that if they don't speak in tongues they don't really have "it (I wouldn't call the Holy Ghost an it.)" This is such a lie. Thanks, again, for your response as I really would rather hear from "Tongue Speakers" on this matter. P.S. English was one of my worse classes also! WalkingTalkingBible |
