61 | what did jesus look like | John 6:15 | ariel levin | 225308 | ||
Brad, Isa. 53:2 gives us an idea of what He looked like (or maybe more correctly, what He didn't look like) and Rev. 1:12-17 gives a pretty good description of the Exalted One as He looks today. |

62 | Is it bibical for a church to require? | John 8:7 | ariel levin | 224295 | ||
Shalom dka, This place sounds like it needs to be reminded of John 8:10 (as the other poster pointed out). God is in the business of forgiveness. If this girl has rectified the situation that got her in this predicament (i.e., she is no longer with the boy and will either raise the child on her own or adopt it out, or they are planning marriage), she has nothing to apologize to the "church" for. This situation is between her heavenly Father, her earthly parents and the baby's father (and his parents if underage) - once again, not the church's!!! It appears from your post that we are talking about some young girls (in their teens), I believe the passages in 1 Cor. sounds more like they are dealing with adults - these two catagories of people need to be dealt with differently in just about all aspects of life. Just my 2cents worth :o) |

63 | Is it bibical for a church to require? | John 8:7 | ariel levin | 224311 | ||
Justme, shalom I read your note but I stand firm that youth need to be treated differntly from adults. It's a proven medical fact that the frontal lob which manages decisions, discerns right and wrong, etc. is not fully developed till after the 21st year in a person. Approaching our youth in the same way you would approach a 35 year old in any given situation just won't work. Being born again or saved or whatever you want to call it does NOT speed up the growth of the brain. I don't particularily disagree with the approach concerning an adult in that state of distress but I don't believe it is what is called for where youths are concerned. |

Has your mormon friend done his mission yet? If so, you've got a well-trained person on your hands. A mormon who has completed or is in the midst of their mission is very difficult to debate. Unless one is at least equally well-versed in the Word of God, they'll get you every time - they are prepared for just about any argument you can think of, except the one I'm about to suggest. This one method that can stop them in thier tracks will cost you time and research - look up several non-Messianic prophecies and show their fulfillment in secular sources, i.e. an historian or encyclopedia. Then look up several Messianic prophecies, along with those fulfillments, secular as well as biblical sources. Then ask your friend to do the same with his "bible." He won't be able to do it. (P.S. You can google biblical prophecy and Messianic prophecies, and you can probably find the secular citations of the fulfillments online as well.) (P.P.S. If nothing else, this exercise will edify yourself as you grow in the knowledge of the Scriptures.) |

65 | I will work on the advice you gave me | John 14:6 | ariel levin | 225614 | ||
Good morning Legs, I'm sorry I confused you. By non-Messianic I mean prophecy that is not specifically about the Savior to come. Example: In Isaiah 45:13 Cyrus the Great is named approximately 100 years before his birth and what he'd do. Also see Isa. 45:1-6, Ezra 6:3-5, Ezra 11:11, then check Wekipedia and some other online sources for him (that would be secular sources; secular meaning nothingg to do with the Bible or church). Messianic means to do with Jesus and the promise of his coming. There are secular sources out there that confirm what the Bible says especially see Josephus and some other Jewish historians - also available online. It's just going to take some research work on your part. Have your mormon friend check for the same things in their "other bible." Keep in mind, that they also use the Bible you're familiar with but it's been changed enough to invalidate it. Have them check and verify what is not available to you in the Christian Bible. (Maybe you and your sister-in-law can buddy up on the research and do it together. That would be fun and informative.) Happy hunting!! |

Yes, I know. That's why I told her to have the friend use the book the Christians don't use. And if he takes her up on the debate, he cannot win; and if he's really wanting the truth, this will be the beginning of his journey. I've gotten 2 mormons now questioning mormonism this way. Two is not alot, but it's a start..... |

These that I have had goings on with have a book that does have prophecy. I'm sorry, I don't know what it's called, I'd always just thought it was the one called Book of Mormon, but I guess it must be something else (it wasn't nearly as many pages as the Christian Bible, it looked to have maybe 300-400 pages). Maybe these were a "sect" of mormonism, not of the main-stream? The parts that got them to thinking was the fact that some prophet (or maybe an angel) called maroni could not be traced outside of this book. At least that's what they told me. I really know very little about mormon belief, but I know the Scriptures well. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. |

No, this is not still going on. It was several years ago in another state. They were getting toward the end of their mission. I really can't remember what started the whole thing - they lived in the apartment above me. Perhaps I just met them at a time when they were ready to be persuaded? (I know I certainly could not have lived as they did - they stood at their window for over an hour waiting on a phone call to get permission just to come out on the front lawn to have a cook-out and watch fireworks! Talk about contol.) |

Morning Legs, You said, "...my personal blessing has to do with the Lord GIVING me cancer..." Please learn to rephrase this, perhaps, the Lord allowed you to get cancer...God is not in the habit of killing His kids. There are only 3 instances that I can think of right off the top of my head where God actually "gave" or "put" a disease on anyone: When Moses was trying to not go before the Pharaoh (the whole hand that turned leprous), when Miriam spoke against Moses (she was told why she got leprous and was quickly healed), and the insanity of Nebuchadnezzar (and he was told and also healed). A fourth possible time (but I'm not sure) might be the sickness of Hezekiah. But I am sure that our God is not in the business of putting dreadful diseases on His own. We live in a world corrupted by sin and though we may not be of this world we are still subject to the corruption that is in it, we get sick. When we do get sick God can use that to His glory, but I will never be convinced that He was the author of that sickness on someone....Sorry. |

I sse your point Ed, and you're right He did say that. I tend to think though it's more a matter of withdrawing the supernatural protection from what's already in the world than Him actually singling out people to make sick. If we take that stance, that God puts cancer, etc. on people who do not keep His commandments then we should be seeing just kazillions dropping dead daily. And if you want to keep it isolated to only the Jews, then why are they not dying out? (It's lnot like He doesn't have any help here. Whole countries would love to see them gone!) The reports are that there are more secular Jews in Israel than observant Jews. And probably more secular Jews in the States than observant Jews. Why are the secular still around? Unless it's just the "protection" that has been withdrawn and they are now subject to the world's woes? |

This will be my last entry in this thread. sa 103:1 A Psalm of David. Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. Psa 103:2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: Psa 103:3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; Psa 103:4 Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; Psa 103:5 Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's. Psa 103:6 The LORD executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed. Psa 103:7 He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel. Psa 103:8 The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy. Psa 103:9 He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever. Psa 103:10 He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. Psa 103:11 For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him. Psa 103:12 As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us. Psa 103:13 Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that fear him. |

73 | The Spirit and the Seventy | John 16:7 | ariel levin | 223323 | ||
Shalom everyone, I think this is my first question. I've watched this site for a number of years and have not seen this question before. It's one of those dreaded "why" questions...maybe I'll make it a "how come" question. :o) How come Messiah told His disciples that He had to go away for the Holy Spirit to come to them? The Holy Spirit was given in full measure to Moses, and then later to his 70 elders. It was the same Spirit, and the trinitarian doctrine teaches that the Spirit is a distinct personality of the Godhead, so Messiah's being on the earth or not being here should have nothing to do with whether the Spirit indwells or not? I'm just a bit confused over the having to "go away" and the infilling of the 70 along with Moses (and probably Aaron and Miriam too)? Thanks for the help. |

74 | The Spirit and the Seventy | John 16:7 | ariel levin | 223325 | ||
Thank you, Mr. Moran, for your time and effort. It's much appreciated. Barnes doesn't fully satisfy, but it is a valid view to consider with some interesting points that I hadn't "seen" before. (I'm under the impression due to the circumstances that Moses and the 70 each received the "full measure" of the Spirit and that it lasted, remained within them, until each individual died.) |

75 | What are ghosts? | Rom 12:2 | ariel levin | 224383 | ||
Shalom findrichard, I'm not sure if these would fall under the catagory of "ghosts" (and certainly not the TV brand), but what of Samuel's appearance to Saul under the medium? the appearance of Moses on the Mt. of Transfiguration (I don't include Messiah, as he hadn't been crucified yet, nor Elijah as we're told he was taken alive), but Moses died and was buried by Abba himself? You can email me (in my profile) with your thoughts if you wish - I say this cause this particular discussion, though interesting, could only be speculation as there are only these few passages to work with..... :o) |

76 | Worst things come upon you! | 1 Cor 6:18 | ariel levin | 223219 | ||
Grace, Could you possibly be thinking about Matthewi12:43-45? While these verses are not speaking about marriage, they could apply, I guess? Mat 12:43 "When an unclean spirit comes out of a person, it travels through dry country seeking rest and does not find it. Mat 12:44 Then it says to itself, 'I will return to the house I left.' When it arrives, it finds the house standing empty, swept clean and put in order. Mat 12:45 Then it goes and takes with it seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they come and live there — so that in the end, the person is worse off than he was before. This is how it will be for this wicked generation." |

Shalom Justme, I didn't answer because Pastor Beja did such a fine job. And most of the time I just "peep" here and answer or add my 2cents in areas that are not controversial as I'm a Torah-observant Messianic Jewish believer. :o) |

Shalom justme, There are plenty of women's christian forums out there, some good, some not so good. Like any forum, you just have to be cautious and selective. Three that I know of that are pretty good: Hebrew4Christians, Heart of Wisdom, and there's a real-time chat room for christian women (along with other christian interests) under "sensitive christian" on the inSpeak chat downloadable software. (As an aside, PalTalk also has rooms for different christian interests but the software is horrible, it puts some bad adware on your computer that is hard to get rid of.) |
