61 | Verse Proving Devils Cant Hear Thoughts? | Ps 94:11 | glory777 | 62774 | ||
Mommapbs- Good reasoning. Because he has been around since before the creation of man, he is an expert at reading body language. He (Satan) can't be everywhere at once, but he can have those under him assigned to watch over and become expert in reading what we are doing. Could seem like he is reading our thoughts. He sure knows where to turn the screws! God bless- Debbie |

62 | Is praying to created beings scriptural? | Bible general Archive 1 | glory777 | 62773 | ||
If what you are proposing is true, then she is always here and can hear everything I say and do. Even if I do something that would make God displeased, she sees that. Would that not cause her pain? I thought scripture says there is no pain in Heaven? The only ones we know of that scripture tells us about, who died and who returned and we know thier reactions was Samuel (give me others, if I missed any)and he was not happy about it, nor did he show any concern about his relatives here on earth. I don't know how those in Heaven view us living, I think their joy is just to be in the glory of the Lord. When we join them, they will remember and recognize us, but anything we have done on this earth will be as nothing to them, the hurt we have gone through or have caused will not be known to them. The joy will be that there will be one more worshipping God truly in spirit and in truth. Anyway, all this is moot, seeing as scripture can tell us nothing concrete about this. I do resent the time that is spent praying to others when it could be time praying to God and being in His presence and developing a closer relationship with Him. Debbie |

Emmaus- You could ask anyone to pray for you. However we were specificaly told to pray for each other. Old Uncle Bob, even if he is with the Lord, is not omnipresent, and if you think he can hear every prayer request you and every other person who may ask him to ask the Lord for a favor for you as his own personal request, you are giving him the power that only God has, and, specifically, the role that Jesus has with the Father. My mother passed away not too long ago. Do I believe she is "watching over me?" If she is, then the glory of the Lord must not be too impressive. Also the angels must not be doing their jobs. The angels have always been the ones to do the Lord's bidding, not those who have died. And they can't be in two places at one time, according to scripture. Can they hear more than one person praying at one time? How many churches are praying to Micahel? How many individuals? Which one is he standing by to hear it? Again, they are not God. To understand why it doesn't make sense to pray to anyone other than God, a good example would be if someone came to my husband and asked him if I had any thread that he could use. My husband wouldn't have a clue where it was and so would not have the power to get it for them. Now if that person came to me directly, I could get it for him, or give him a yes or no. What sense would it make not to go directly to the throne of grace and make our request known? We are to be bold, not go around every way, not trusting the Lord to know His own mind. I am sorry if I sound harsh. I just feel I was mislead for many years. Debbie |

64 | What is the Crown of Life | James 1:12 | glory777 | 62283 | ||
When we invite Jesus to be our Lord and Savior, we have eternal life. But there are also rewards given for what we do on this earth and, I think, some are in the form of crowns so that we may join with the elders (as in Revelation 4)in laying our "crowns" at the Lord's feet. Debbie |

65 | What difference does it make who wrote | 2 Tim 3:16 | glory777 | 62145 | ||
It does help to understand the way the scriptures were written if we know who did the writing. Yes, all of the scripture was written by the inspiration of God, but some "inconsistancies" are explained by the knowledge of who wrote the scriptures, to whom they were originally intended and the time that they were written. Customs change, language changes and these also need to be taken into account when reading scripture, especially those parts that are hard to understand. Debbie |

66 | What can we learn from Jesus' encounter | Heb 4:15 | glory777 | 62062 | ||
Jesus was tempted in many of the ways we are tempted on this occasion. He also was tempted in the ways that Adam and Eve were tempted, only He won back the rulership of the world by not falling as they did. Now we can claim the victory based on what He won. He also showed us how to overcome temptation. Memorizing scripture is a prime defense against the enemy. Debbie |

67 | ... | 1 Cor 15:45 | glory777 | 61953 | ||
EdB- Actually, Cain married the 418th of Adam and Eve's children (Gen 4:1 plus verse 17 equals 418) and the number for children therefore is 13 (4 plus 1 plus 8)! Which tells us that if you have 247 children (666 - 418 equals 248) that child will be the antichrist! Let's do the numerology thing again along with Cain's wife! Blessings my friend- Debbie |
||||||
68 | ... | 1 Cor 15:45 | glory777 | 61829 | ||
EdB I believe the name came from a story circulating at the time about a group of brothers named "Winken, Blinken and Nod". Seeing as the other two were taken (scientists have yet to discover the location) Nod was chosen. Debbie |

69 | Who was the first drunk in the Bible? | Gen 9:21 | glory777 | 61828 | ||
The first mentioned was Noah but Lot also got drunk - more than once and look what happened. Although it does not tell of the affect on the person doing the drinking, it has major consequences for those observing and close to him, affecting generations after. A word of caution to anyone! :) Debbie |

As I stated, if anyone wants to view questions and answers - different viewpoints that have already been discussed to the max by people who are very knowledgable and have more than adequate education to discuss it, type it in the search section. Enough is enough. |

71 | Discussion Question | Matt 19:24 | glory777 | 61489 | ||
Prayon - If it is a sin, there was an awful lot of it in the lives of the OT fathers! Abraham and David must have been great sinners. God wants us to have an abundant life and I believe that means material as well as spiritual abundance. But if that material abundance means more than the things of the Kingdom, than it is sin. To have money in the bank and to be a wise steward of it is not a problem (I wish I had more of the problem!) but if you prize it more than what it can do, it is a problem. Proverbs says we are to leave an inheritance to our grandchildren - prov. 13:22 - and that doesn't get there over night. Live simply? I would dearly love to have a swimming pool. To flaunt it? No - to be cool in the hot summer. I believe what you have can be sin if you have the wrong motive for it. Pride can ruin anything you have. Love you- Deb |

Mj- Didn't Jesus ride on the donkey because that was a sign of kingship? Debbie |

73 | Whats up with Judgement, calvinists plz? | Rom 9:21 | glory777 | 61487 | ||
If a question on the rapture comes up, I would applaud anyone who were to respond "Type in rapture in the search section"! There are some differences in the church that will not be resolved in this life, and we have overworked two of them lately in this forum. Debbie |

74 | Women in pants? | Bible general Archive 1 | glory777 | 60845 | ||
Searcher- You are right. Being a horsewoman I should have known better. If they didn't have something more substantial they would have no skin on their legs (or other parts!)after riding camels, horses, and donkeys! Blessings- Deb |

Sorry, prayon- These over 35 eyes(and I won't say how much older!) just glanced at my bookshelf and counted - Iforgot my son had a duplicate copy of one of them! You are right. there are only 10 so far. Sorry- Deb |

76 | LEFT BEHIND? | Bible general Archive 1 | glory777 | 60131 | ||
Praise God, Susan!!!! There are at least 12 - I have 11 of them. Yes, it is good fiction. I can't wait for 12. How much is based on fact? I would say none. After all, we have enough speculations with "experts" to back up our different views as to the end times just among we friends at the "forum"! Fact maybe as to the order of things happening - we know the first bowl comes before the second, etc. But it is good fiction, there could be a possibility that it would all go that way, but to give it to someone and say _ this is what you are in for if you don't accept Jesus? - Nah! Love to you all- Deb |

I thought that the men in those days wore things more like togas? I don't think they wore pants, either. Debbie |

78 | Historical Christian Stance on Slavery? | Exodus | glory777 | 59901 | ||
Vanessa- I am no expert, but I think there were slaves in every people group and religion. When you read the book of Philemon, paul was writing about Onisimus who was a slave. He also addresses in other books how "masters" are to treat slaves and how slaves are to treat their masters. These are Christians he was writing to. By the way, what do they think our stand on slavery is? Debbie |

79 | Does this mean that it is wrong to ask? | Rev 17:16 | glory777 | 59896 | ||
Man, I'm sorry I even answered this the first time and got the ball in a "spin"! Eschatology is an important part of the bible. We are to be prepared for what is to happen, know the signs to watch for and I believe it will be perfectly clear when it does - no debate neccessary. The book of Revelation especially comes along with a blessing for reading it(Rev. 1:3)so we should study it. We should know the order of things, even if they are not things we understand now. There is enough in the prophetic books to let us know the season is near but to guess at what specific roles certain leaders or countries will play in it is setting us up for ridicule. Pastor Glenn, you pointed out the hatred toward Christian missionaries, etc. Again, I could point to Hitler - who many thought was the antichrist - who hated Jews, Christians, etc. and set up means to try to eradicate them all. They were wrong, as we know. Other times in history, events made it seem as though the times were right. Now we see a lot more in our technological world that makes sense of the things written in Revelation. So, I do believe the time is nearer. But there are still things we do not understand, and until we do, I think we should pray about these things, keep them in our minds, keep our eyes open, do the work the Lord has for us now, and wait for the total revelation to be revealed to us. PEACE to you all- Debbie |
