61 | Does God force His will on us ? | Mark 1:12 | jeremiah1five | 241651 | ||
Hi Doc. I don't believe Lucifer (aka Satan) is out loose doing anything. Man doesn't need him. The sin nature in man is enough evil in the world. There is no free will in any of God's created beings. Even the creation of man was such that in the Mind of God He knew the billions and trillions of evil thoughts one single person has in one lifetime compounded that with the billions of lives that have existed on the planet since Adam, and STILL God saw the result that was favorable to Him and would bring Him glory He went ahead and created angel and man just the same. | ||||||
62 | HCSB what's your opinion? | Bible general | jeremiah1five | 241639 | ||
Am I a born again Christian baptized into the Body of Christ by the Holy Spirit? (1 Cor. 12:13) Are you? Have I ever said I was a KJV-Only person? I use the KJV because I believe it is the Authorized - by God - Version for the English-speaking people. One cannot get higher than a king. All these committees that group together in order to bring more confusion to the Church don't have any authority to make a translation for the English-speaking people. God is a God of order. |

Just a note....was it really Lucifer in Job, Matthew, "throughout the gospels" as you say? As for demons...I believe they are attitudes, not angels. The gift of discerning of spirits in the Church is a gift of the Spirit to discern the source of spiritual activity and phenomenon. The gift can only discern these three spirit-ual beings in creation- 1 the spirit of elect angels 2 the spirit of fallen angels 3 the spirit of man 4 the Spirit of God. These four and no more. Your thoughts? |

65 | Who or What Dictates Your Behavior? | Deut 6:6 | jeremiah1five | 241633 | ||
The following is a no-brainer....when Israel gathered before God at the Tabernacle with every tribe placed in encampments around the Tabernacle according to the will of God they all lived, ate, worked/not worked, recreated, behaved, etc., according to God's Law as given by God them through Moses. They did not gather and then all behaved as the heathen peoples' that surrounded them (and their surrounding them was at a great distance.) Whether one wants to agree or not but being at an online site for Christians I notice that there are many rules in place that supersede God's expressed command and Word that Christians must agree to abide before (mostly after) they join the site, and if for some reason run afoul of the rules of the Forum or site (most are written using secular modes or methods of behavior) they receive punitive measures against them, even banning, which I take as excommunication and for no real sin except to violate human or western free-world, even American modes of behavior. Some places have Moderators that interfere between brethren and dish out those punitive measures against brethren and short-circuit the Holy Spirit in His application of the Word of God upon His people. In other words, the ONLY Moderator in a born again believers life is the Word of God and the Holy Spirit who uses the Word in accordance to the expressed and established Will of God. When the children of Israel gathered before the Tabernacle were they compelled to abide and follow heathen behavioral norms, or did the have the Word of God that dictated their behavior towards brethren and towards God? Deuteronomy 6:6-9 (KJV) 6 And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: 7 And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. 8 And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes. 9 And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates. |

66 | Does God force His will on us ? | Mark 1:12 | jeremiah1five | 241627 | ||
Hello tracylynnwoods1975. As was discussed on the question of "ekballo" and the resulting definition according to Strong the word is defined as "to eject." Vine's has "denotes, lit., "to cast forth," with the suggestion of force (ek, "out," ballo, "to cast"); hence "to drive out or forth." It is translated "driveth" in Mark 1:12, RV, "driveth forth." In John 2:15 for the AV, "drove," the RV has "cast," the more usual translation." I would also like to ask you to look into your own walk for insight into the question. Let me also add that in discussion I've had with others they say that God does not force us, does not violate "our will," but I say that is rubbish. Man has no "free will" as it is called. How can the will be free if in bondage to sin, even from conception (Ps. 51:5.) Yes, we can choose between chocolate and vanilla, but to choose God when born in sin is impossible. There is no free will. Free will in man is an illusion. Man is in bondage to sin and while in this body of this death there is a constant struggle between flesh and Spirit. But as an unconverted man who is only flesh (no Spirit), their inability to choose God condemns them unless they are Elect of God, those whose names are written by God in the book of life of the lamb slain from the foundation of the world (Rev. 13:8). Let me also add this to my reply...a person is born into this world in bondage to sin. I also believe they are a dichotomy (body and soul... no human spirit), and unless God intervenes and births them they will be cast into "hell" a dichotomy. But if God intervenes in a persons life and births that person God creates a new human spirit and the person is restored to a trichotomy, that is, the image of God (body, soul, human spirit... Eph. 4:24; 2 Cor. 5:17.) There are no persons bearing the image of God in "hell." If I may...if God does intervene in a persons life and is born again the person is freed from the bondage of sin and in a sense are declared "Not Guilty!" (justification) by God and the so-called will in the person that was in bondage is freed there is only one place to go: God. It's not that He forces Himself on His kids, but rather, once freed there is only one place to go: God. And He not only takes us, but He claims us. In a sense God "makes us willing" in all things in which He is directly involved in a moment in TIME in a person's life. A believer that has been born again does not "stand still" but is led. To have force is to have resistence, whether as once standing still and the "force" moves it, or as going in one direction and the Holy Spirit "forces" in another direction. Case in point, Paul wanted to go one direction but the Holy Spirit "made" him go in another direction (Acts 16:6 to 10.) There is only One Will that is Sovereign in all creation and eternity - God. His will be done on earth AS IT IS in "heaven." |

67 | Question about meaning of turning cheek | Matt 5:39 | jeremiah1five | 241623 | ||
QUOTE: "The 'eye for eye' philosphy would be to strike them back and avenge one's self of this affront. But, Jesus said to turn to him the other check as well and endure the insult again." RESPONSE: If this is what you say Jesus is teaching, then Jesus would be teaching amiss and teaching a change in the Law (of Retribution.) Any change in the Law would "destroy" the Law, and if this is the interpretation then the religious leaders would have this to accuse Jesus of (changing, or teaching a change in the Law), but there is no accusation in the Scripture that the "Jews" understood this as a change. What I believe is that Jesus is upholding the Law (of Retribution) of eye for eye and strike for strike. Jesus can't be changing the Law for any change in the Law would "destroy" the Law and this is tantamount to Jesus "destroying" Himself for the Law prophesied most about Israel's Kinsman-Redeemer. |

69 | Mark 1:12 ekbaino not ekballo, | Mark 1:12 | jeremiah1five | 241621 | ||
Most likely from the Received Text (Textus Receptus.) But what is interesting is that the Spirit "threw Jesus out like a ball" into the wilderness from the city. That act kinda removes the idea the Holy Spirit is a "Gentleman," don't you think? I read "force" and "intent" and "direction" in this act. And speaking from experience I've had this "Gentleman" do the same to me several times in my walk. Not complaining, mind you, but when it does occur I've learned to enjoy the direct guidance of the Lord and know that what happens will be for my edification and to accomplish His will and purpose (despite not always knowing at the time what that purpose may be.) | ||||||

72 | Who is the "Counselor". John 14;15-17 | John 14:15 | jeremiah1five | 241615 | ||
Imagine that. Jesus Himself makes distinction between His disciples and the world. "The world cannot accept Him..." and yet what do Christians do? They invite the world to accept Him. That's called giving that which is holy to dogs, don't you think? There is no "other" Counselor. The Counselor is Christ Himself, and Christ in His people. |

73 | willful nonpayment of debts? | John 14:15 | jeremiah1five | 241614 | ||
I think you err when you say that taxes are a debt. And then you apply school loans gym membership contracts, cell phone and home phone contracts hospital services and court judgments with taxes which confuses the issue. At the time of the founding of this Republic and the writing of the US Constitution the Colonies were at war with the British Crown and the inclusion of taxes in the Constitution (Art. 1 Sec. 1) was to fund the war against England "[A]nd to do other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do," and it should be said here that the inclusion of taxes in the Constitution was a necessity that may not have been supported by the people back home in the Colonies had there been no war. At any rate, it is a contradiction to equate freedom and independence with collection of taxes for any purpose. Taxes are not a debt but a levy, a fee or a charge for one purpose or another. Applying this to Biblical doctrine, if Christ was the Substitutionary sacrifice in my place and He paid the penalty for sin and God accepted that payment, then I am free of the debt (which requires my death). Still, I will one day die (if the LORD tarries) for I am still under the penalty for sin - death. But this is my default end for man was not created eternal, nor was I born eternal, and instead this alone shows my sinful-ness before God even in my justification (not in my sanctification.) If you make a vow to do such and such, then keep your promises (just as your Father keeps His.) But as citizen of this United States taxes are fees and charges that may or may not have won your support when the law was passed in the Document and still in effect. You can study law and the history of taxes in this country and sue the government that taxes are unconstitutional and violate the preamble to that same Constitution, for how you be free enjoying liberty when the application of a taz(es) has been levied against or upon you by the government? That is not freedom. Christ doesn't make you pay taxes in your justification, does He? And it is not impossible to know a heart. All you need to do is be born again, know the Scripture, and listen carefully what comes out of a persons mouth. It always betrays their heart. There comes a time in a believers life that prayer stops and DO[ing] what one already knows is what is necessary. There is a time for everything...a time to pray and a time not to pray...a time to forgive and a time to not forgive... Knowing those times are in the Bible. |

76 | Woman's place in Heaven | Bible general | jeremiah1five | 241597 | ||
Hello wdc. Come now, let us reason together, saith the LORD (Isa. 1:18). If I may... Gen. 1:1 the word is "shamayim" which is plural and means "to be lofty" "sky." Gen. 1:6-8 has this "heaven" as under and above - two expanses. This one was created by God but He divided them into under and above - two. The ministry of Lucifer is on earth: Isaiah 14:13 (KJV) 13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God - I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: Ezek. 28:14 - If Lucifer is the "outstretched" cherub that "covers" what did he cover? It appears he covered or "outstretched" above the throne or Presence of God on the mountain of God (Jerusalem?), and this would mean he was "hovering" a few inches to several yards above the throne/Presence of God in the first heaven or expanse. The text says he wanted to ascend into second heaven above the clouds (where the planets reside - for some reason). This is the second heaven. Since man had not been atoned in TIME the curtain in the Tabernacle prevented an unatoned person to be in the Holy Presence of God so no one in the OT ascended in death to God but were in another place: the grave - Sheol/Hades or Paradise/Abraham's bosom [generally to the Hebrew mind meant the Presence of God, but not actually IN the Presence of God] Where did Moses and Elijah come from at the Transfiguration? Were they kept in Eden where a cherub with a flaming sword kept it from being entered let alone found? And Paul, did he go to an "expanse" [heaven - third or otherwise,] that was on the planet? Maybe Eden? If He went into the Presence of God Himself then this heaven is not a place, but a Person. As I hold with God creating man sin-ful being that God cannot reduplicate His attributes of nature into created matter, the same follows with a "place" or "location." If third heaven is a place or location, and it is eternal, then God reduplicated His eternal-ness into a location, and again, if one is to possess one attribute of God they must by necessity possess ALL attributes of Deity. To date, I prefer to believe first and second heaven as part of creation. "Third heaven" is not a place, but a Person - God. |

77 | Twins? | Gen 4:2 | jeremiah1five | 241596 | ||
Hi Doc. If that was the case then wouldn't it be translated that way by the KJV scholars that translated the KJV? It would seem the word is only saying that she bare again, not that she conceived again. |

78 | How do you share Jesus with others? | Eph 4:12 | jeremiah1five | 241583 | ||
Here is the Scripture Matthew 28:19-20 (KJV) 19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. This command was given to the eleven. They were given specific instruction what to do, an d later the Holy Spirit would bring "other things" to their remembrance of what Jesus said and done that was relevant to their on-going walk with Him. As I said, and as you can read, the command is for the eleven disciples to fulfill. It is not meant for everyone in the body of Christ as the church teaches new believers when they become saved and begin attending fellowship in a good church. However, the Scripture is for [our] training and admonition, as well as for doctrine, reproof, correction, and instruction in righteousness (and that righteousness we are trained and instructed in means we interpret the Scriptures correctly and not take specifics from the Word as is found in Matthew 28:19-20 and wrongly interpret them as the church does today (and in the past). However, being that we have the Scripture for our training and admonition and that God speaks to us through His Word by the Holy Spirit if God ever chose to call someone and gift them it will be through His Word, and a person can have the same call and instruction as the eleven, or the can have just the call and another instruction. It depends on the will of God for that person. It is in this that it "goes forward." We are not all apostles with the same call and instruction as the eleven disciples. But that is what the church teaches in general, to go out and evangelize, preach, etc. and they err in this also because they half step. Part of the instruction is to go to Jerusalem, Judaea, Samaria, and the uttermost parts of the [then known world - east - the Orient.] But the church doesn't obey this part of Jesus' instruction to the eleven, do they? (Acts 1:8). So, to interpret this in Matthew and say everyone is supposed to do what the eleven were specifically commanded by Christ to do is error in and of itself, and it is error because they pick and choose what part they want to obey (omitting the go to Jerusalem, Judaea, Samaria part, etc.), and this is wrong too. As you can see from the text Jesus is commanding the eleven to do those things, not everyone in the body of Christ. Are you following me? One can be called to be the royal baker and given specific instruction of whether or not to teach another, it depends on what God and His Christ reveal to the person in the body of Christ. He is the Head and He determines who does what and with what gifts and instruction. We are all parts on the body of Christ. We are not the whole. Our call will be in part, our instruction will be in part, our gifts will be in part, etc. I know of an older brother, a senior, who's only instruction is to speak as led "to the Jew first and also to the Gentiles." I don't know his calling, but I am aware and know what he is to say when in his gift. As long as he is obedient (and I believe he is), then God will use him as the Lord leads. But to go and do and say what God and His Christ gave specifically to another in the body of Christ is to short-circuit your own call and instruction because while one thinks they are supposed to do what Christ gave specifically to the eleven to do and mimic their call and instruction is to be disobedient and Christ cannot use a horse that has no bridle or bit in his mouth. You understand uncontrolled, yes? Mavericks. So, who is really leading and guiding this Christian??? That is what I am saying. We are to be taught by those called to teach. We are to be shepherded by those called to shepherd, we are called to wait on the Lord, to read and study His Word, and when the Lord is good and ready He will reveal to the person (all persons individually) their call, their gifts, their instruction, etc., that they may serve Him obediently and fulfill their part in the body. |
