61 | When did the curtain rip? | Luke 23:45 | kw5kw | 170962 | ||
I forgot I can't edit here... The above was from "Jesus from Seven Sources" which is a harmony of the Gospels and Acts by Kenneth Ray Taylor. |

62 | What do you think of your faith? | John 20:25 | kw5kw | 142496 | ||
In Faith, dear brother, in Faith! We must believe in him by Faith. In John 20:24-29 we read about Thomas. Now Thomas doubted, his faith was weak. Thomas had to be shown, and once he was shown he was able to believe once again. His Faith was restored. We don’t have that luxury. We can’t touch Jesus in the body. We can’t talk to him in the person. We must have the undeniable Faith that He is who He says He is and nothing less. Now, we must be like the Centurion, (Matthew 8: 5-13) who’s Faith was strong enough that his son was healed from many miles away. That is what He was teaching us with that passage. He does not have to be present in body to be able to help us. Our Faith in Him is what we need to be saved, nothing else. (Mat 8:10 When Jesus heard [it (the Centurion’s faith)], he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.) We must also be like the woman who had Faith that Jesus could heal her. She had Faith that if she just tugged at Jesus garment as he passed then she would be healed. (Mat 9:20-22 But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour.) That by her Faith she was healed. Yes, she had to believe first, but she was healed by her Faith in him. Simply believing is not enough! Lets look at Peter. Peter believed that with Jesus’ help that he could walk on water… He had faith that he could do so… Mat 14:28 And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water. 29 And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus. 30 But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me. 31 And immediately Jesus stretched forth [his] hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt? Peter’s tiny moment of doubt was enough to cause him to sink. Faith in Jesus must contain absolutely no doubts. Our Faith must be complete and un-equaled for complete salvation. True faith might start out as small as a mustard seed, but it will grow. As it grows it [faith] gains strength, and eventually it overwhelms everything else we do. Mat 21:21 Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this [which is done] to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done. The apostles begged for Jesus to increase their faith Luk 17:5 And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith. And Jesus asked of the people in Luk 18:8 …. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth? Tell me dear readers, do you have enough Faith to save yourself? Those who have faith such as can do many great things such as was written about Stephen in Acts 6:8 And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and miracles among the people. Now you might ask what is the difference between belief and faith? Lets explore this for a moment. First lets look at this analogy. Wisdom is to knowledge is the same as Faith is to believe. To have knowledge is good. We know things, such as mathematics, language, physics, computers and on and on and on. To have the Wisdom to put that knowledge to use is the gift of God. We might all believe the words that are written in the Holy Bible, but to have the Faith to believe that every word in the Bible is True, that’s what is important. To have the Faith to believe that everything that is told about in the Bible, that it actually happened, and not question any of it, nothing. We must have the Faith to believe that Jesus is indeed the Saviour of the human race. Faith: That’s the most important thing. Faith is what is going to save your soul, not just a belief… Faith! For it is written in Romans 1:17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith. I would like you to read the entire chapter of Hebrews 11. I can’t post the entire chapter here, I have Faith that you indeed will read it. Back to where I started, back to the story of doubting Thomas. Jesus did what he did after the resurrection because He is God. He doesn't need a ‘working’ body, because He is God. He can manulapate His old human body even though his heart is pierced. He does not need it, as Jesus is the God Man. And, God can do anything. We can’t doubt anything, but have Faith and believe in Jesus as our Lord and Saviour. Put your trust in God and have everlasting life. Your brother in Christ, Russ |

65 | Was Jesus tempted with fornication | John 21:25 | kw5kw | 155678 | ||
What you are asking for is not there. However the passage that you quoted states that He (Jesus) was indeed tempted in every way. Therefore, you can conclude from the Holy Scriptures that Jesus was indeed tempted in every way, and yes that would include sexual temptations. Heb 4:15 For we have not a high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. (KJV) For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin. (NASB) For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet was without sin. (NIV) For we do not have a High Priest Who is unable to understand and sympathize and have a shared feeling with our weaknesses and infirmities and liability to the assaults of temptation, but One Who has been tempted in every respect as we are, yet without sinning. (AMP) If you've ever been tempted with anything, you can rest asurred that our LORD Jesus was tempted in the same manner. Except, HE was able to say no to the devil each and every time... Matt 4:1-11 to illustrate. Russ |

66 | Does anyone still beleive that God talks | Acts 9:4 | kw5kw | 142039 | ||

67 | He has spoken to me, How about you? | Acts 9:4 | kw5kw | 142249 | ||
Yes, I KNOW that God still speaks to people today, my friend. For He HAS spoken to me more than once. Just as Saul's conversion described in Acts 9, my God, my Father, my Lord has spoken to me. I didn't have the light, that was described by Paul, I didn't go blind for 3 days. But, HE has spoken to me. ... (Read my profile.)... I asked this question wrong I guess... I should have asked... " Has God, The Father, ever spoken directly to you?" Your brother in Christ, Russ |

68 | Just Possible? | Acts 9:4 | kw5kw | 142250 | ||
Greetings Doc, You said: "It is no accident that the scriptures start with Genesis and end with Revelation." And, with that I whole-heartly agree with. I might add, we've had 2000 years of growing, living with Jesus in our lives. Isn't it just possible that HE might to decide to add just a wee bit more that what is already there? Mind you I asked if it was JUST POSSIBLE? Not did it happen yet, Just Possible. Your brother in Christ, Russ |

69 | Would you? | Acts 9:4 | kw5kw | 142259 | ||
Would you? If something is proved to be 100.00 percent correct, would it need to be added (to the Bible) at the future date that after it was fulfilled? Or, following that logic why was the prophecy of Isaiah and Jeremiah, along with all the other prophets of the Old Testament such as Daniel, been added to the scriptures before Jesus, my Lord and Saviour, the Christ, ever came to the Earth? It wasn't true at the time it was prophesized. It wasn't true when it was added the Holy Scriptures. (Just look at all of the prophecies that Christ had to fulfill. I’m not going to list them here, we all know how many there were.) It took faith in God to add these prophecies to our Holy Bible some 700 years or so before our Christ came. Faith in God! I was reading Spurgeon this weekend. I read three of his sermons on Faith. I’m at work, and I don’t take my volumes of Spurgeon anywhere. Two of the ones I read were in Volume 3, XVIII and XIX (there appears to be multiple editions of his printed word, so mine might vary from what you have.) The first was on pure faith alone (also available on the internet at: http://www.spurgeon.org/sermons/0107.htm ), the second was on Rehab’s faith (also available on the internet at: http://www.spurgeon.org/sermons/0119.htm ), and how her faith in God saved her. (Joshua chapter 2) It takes Faith in God, with faith you can do any and all things…. Off the subject sorry. The third sermon is on the Internet at http://www.spurgeon.org/sermons/0107.htm as it is not in the few volumes of Spurgeon that I currently own. (I’d much rather read them in print than on the Internet, then I can Highlight them and study them much more in depth.) In fact a lot of the prophecies from the Old Testament (Daniel ‘s vision of the ‘end of times’ in Daniel chapter 8 to the end of his book to site just one of hundreds.) still hasn’t been fulfilled as of yet. Yet, it is still in the Holy Bible as a testament to what is to come. Yet we have faith that they are what they are, don’t we? I do. If God decided to tell any one of us even a just a wee tiny bit more, just a schmiggen more, would you listen? Would you do what God told you to do and write it down? Would you give it to other people to read as He commanded? Would you read it? Would you believe it, or would you simply dismiss it as heresy? Would you treat something new in the same manner the Jewish leaders treated Jesus, my Saviour, the Christ? Or, would you look at something new and think of it as a “God-send”? Would you have faith?

71 | what does this word mean | Acts 9:4 | kw5kw | 142285 | ||
Thank you, the typo is why I could not find it. Hank "The Bible Answerman" (on XM radio channel 170 at 18:00 eastern) also uses some huge words that I do not quite understand. I listen to him, but don't understand what he's saying. I didn't study those words for my college career path which is in Information Technology. I'm a network administrator for an automobile dealer. This job gives me enough time to read and this forum, among others, while I'm at work. I very rarely even get on a computer at home any more, I'm busy reading and studying the Bible. Thanks once again, Your brother in Christ, Russ |

72 | Numbers 14:29 is this the age of acc...? | Acts 16:31 | kw5kw | 179193 | ||
Ok, Mark you brought up the age of accountability. Here is something that I've been think about, contliplating, and studying some more. Back to the desert where God is dispensing His judgement on the Hebrews who rejected the report of the two spies and took the word of the eight other spies over the word of the LORD. This is something that has really stuck with me... pay close attention to verse 29 in the following excerpt from Numbers Chapter xiv. Num 14:20 The LORD responded, "I have pardoned them as you requested. Num 14:21 Yet as surely as I live and as the whole earth is filled with the LORD's glory, Num 14:22 none of the men who have seen My glory and the signs I performed in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tested Me these 10 times and did not obey Me, Num 14:23 will ever see the land I swore to give their fathers. None of those who have despised Me will see it. Num 14:24 But since My servant Caleb has a different spirit and has followed Me completely, I will bring him into the land where he has gone, and his descendants will inherit it. Num 14:25 Since the Amalekites and Canaanites are living in the lowlands, turn back tomorrow and head for the wilderness in the direction of the Red Sea." Num 14:26 Then the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron: Num 14:27 "How long must I endure this evil community that keeps complaining about Me? I have heard the Israelites' complaints that they make against Me. Num 14:28 Tell them: As surely as I live, declares the LORD, I will do to you exactly as I heard you say. Num 14:29 Your corpses will fall in this wilderness--all of you who were registered in the census, the entire number of you 20 years old or more--because you have complained about Me. Num 14:30 I swear that none of you will enter the land I promised to settle you in, except Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun. Num 14:31 I will bring your children whom you said would become plunder into the land you rejected, and they will enjoy it. Num 14:32 But as for you, your corpses will fall in this wilderness. Does anyone take this any further as being the age of accountability? That up until, and I saw this related to in Proverbs somewhere, but at this moment I can't find it to relate it here. Any thought? |

73 | May we take another short look at this? | Acts 16:31 | kw5kw | 179337 | ||
Mark, In looking at how frivolous the young people of this, and any generation for that matter, are, how rebellious and how seemingly that many, many of them are remarkably turned around at approximately the ages between nineteen and twenty-one. We have this verse in Psalms: Psalms xxv:7 Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness' sake, O LORD. Put together with: Ecclesiastes xii:1 Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them; And all of this is reinforced by: Isaiah liv:4 Fear not; [saith the Lord (from verse 1 of this chapter)] for thou shalt not be ashamed: neither be thou confounded; for thou shalt not be put to shame: for thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth, and shalt not remember the reproach of thy widowhood any more. May we really wonder why we should not consider the responsible adult age to begin at nineteen? It's because by that age they have somehow grown out of their childish ways—ways where they test everything, push their limits just to see how far they can go; ways when we teach the right ways and punish wrong behavior before it become something out of control but before it can be held against them because they didn’t know all of the right ways— and become real reasonable, responsible adults. And, if they haven’t learned by then, then they still have the chance of reconciliation by accepting Jesus as their personal Saviour. Does this make sense to you? |

It is written: 2Ti 3:16 All scripture [is] given by inspiration of God, and [is] profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: To me that means that anything and everything in the Holy Bible may be considered as true. |

75 | church attendance all but cease in UK? | Rom 1:21 | kw5kw | 142447 | ||
Greetings Pastor Glenn, Unlike it was in the years that Rev. C. H. Spurgeon was packing in overflowing attendance each sermon. From http://www.spurgeon.org/aboutsp.htm "... The congregation quickly outgrew their building, moved to Exeter Hall, then to Surrey Music Hall. In these venues Spurgeon frequently preached to audiences numbering more than 10,000—all in the days before electronic amplification. In 1861 the congregation moved permanently to the newly constructed Metropolitan Tabernacle." ... (Tabernacle capacity: 6,000 people, with 5,500 Seated, 500 Standing Room; Tabernacle Dimensions: 146' long, 81' wide, 68' high) And he complained about attendance falling off from what it was 150 to 200 years previous. your brother in Christ, Russ |

76 | Opinions of J. Falwell on WTC attack. | Rom 3:23 | kw5kw | 152506 | ||
Greetings Mark, I agree with you... especially in his self-praise. 1 John 2:15 Do not love the world nor the things in the world If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world. 17 The world is passing away, and also its lusts; but the one who does the will of God lives forever. (NASB) same words in the NIV: 15Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16For everything in the world—the cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and the boasting of what he has and does—comes not from the Father but from the world. 17The world and its desires pass away, but the man who does the will of God lives forever. the key word here is boasting... pridefull boasting. It is of this world... with world being Satan. pridefull boasting is of Satan Russ |

77 | Paul's evil practices Pre or PostJesus | Rom 7:19 | kw5kw | 169449 | ||
I believe in my humble opinion, that Romans 7: 14ff is about Paul both before and after his conversion on the road of Damascus. It is to God's Glory that we worship Him, and if we have no reason to worship Him, then we become blameless, at least in our own eyes, and become as the fallen morning star, aka Lucifer, the dragon, Satan, for then great iniquity could be found in us as it was Satan. Sin, something we do not wish to do, breaking the Law of God, is however a necessary evil that brings us actually closer to the worship of God. If it wasn't for sin, would we understand this: "My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me."? What did our Lord mean when He told this to Paul? Our worship of God is because we sin--at least in our human life it will be. Once we get to heaven, then our spiritual worship of our God will be entirely different and never ending. No matter how you look at it we are free from the Law, and placed under His Grace. By being set free from the law we are no longer under it's punishment. That doesn't mean that we no longer have to follow the law, for we still can't murder, rape, commit adultry. We should not have idols, or anything before God. We need to honor our fathers and mothers. We should not steal, nor covet or lie. But we do, maybe not all but some. It's the small sins that will keep us --as humans-- close to God. |
