61 | A little humor... :) | Prov 17:22 | mbooker | 68374 | ||
Here in Tallahassee, we have a section in the paper for Zings and here is one that I thought was light and funny: What would Jesus drive? He'd drive a Honda. Scripture says that his disciples were in one accord with each other. |

62 | Thanksgiving | 1 Thess 5:18 | mbooker | 67815 | ||
Good morning all... Since this is Thanksgiving week, I would like to start a Thanksgiving thread. What are you thankful for and/or what are we as born again children of the Most High God to be thankful for? But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. I Cor 15:57 |

Jesified Your 'We were cilling in my crib' example gave me a chuckle! :). Generational slang can certainly sound Greek to those not of that generation. Meredith |

65 | Operate on faith or endure? | Heb 11:1 | mbooker | 67471 | ||
Let me restate this one more time: "I believe that once my mind has been renewed in a particular area (I say particular area because right now I believe the renewing of my mind is a lifetime process)" |

66 | Operate on faith or endure? | Heb 11:1 | mbooker | 67470 | ||
I will gladly restate what I said: 'I believe that once your mind has been renewed in a particular area (I say particular area because right now I believe renewing our minds is a lifetime process)' 'However, why do you hold the will in Romans 12:2 to be anything but God's revealed will in Scripture?' Respectfully I answer: I was not aware I was doing that. I do believe that if I do not know scripture, then I do not know God's will. As I study the scriptures and my mind is renewed, God's revealed will in scripture is revealed to me. That is a more accurate representation of what I believe... |

67 | Operate on faith or endure? | Heb 11:1 | mbooker | 67450 | ||
Hi EdB As a matter of fact I do pray in the Holy Spirit. You ask why? I pray in the Holy Spirit when I am interceding for someone and do not know exactly what they need prayer for (Romans 8:26). And since I don’t know what they need prayer for, I have no way of knowing which scriptures to take into prayer with me. And when I pray in the Holy Spirit, he makes intercession according to the will of God (Romans 8:27). I also pray in the spirit/speak in tongues to talk to God, speak mysteries and to edify myself (1 Cor 14:2,4) After reading Rom 12:2 in context, I am not sure how taking v2 in context changes what I believe to be a biblical truth: I can, by the renewal of my mind, prove what is that good, acceptable and perfect will of God. You said ‘It really isn't saying we will know God's will in all situations’. What I do is if a situation arises, I look through my Bible and/or seek counsel/direction to scripture from other more mature Christians to find God’s will for that particular type of situation. If I find it (God’s will), then I do 1 John 5:14-15. If I don’t find it (God’s will), then I pray in the Holy Spirit. Either way, prayer according to the will of God is being prayed. |

68 | What is Paul's "thorn in the flesh?' | 2 Cor 12:7 | mbooker | 67437 | ||
A messenger of Satan, who was given to rack and buffet and harass him. I looked up buffet at blueletterbible.org: 2852 kolaphizo 1) to strike with the fist, give one a blow with the fist 2) to maltreat, treat with violence and contumely |

69 | Operate on faith or endure? | Heb 11:1 | mbooker | 67413 | ||
I would like to add that we can prove what God's good, acceptable and perfect will is. The Amp version of Romans 12:2 is my favorite And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God KJV Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is-his good, pleasing and perfect will. NIV Do not be conformed to this world (this age), [fashioned after and adapted to its external, superficial customs], but be transformed (changed) by the [entire] renewal of your mind [by its new ideals and its new attitude], so that you may prove [for yourselves] what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God, even the thing which is good and acceptable and perfect [in His sight for you]. Amp I looked up the word prove at blueletterbible.org: 1381 dokimazo - prove 10, try 4, approve 3, discern 2, allow 2, like 1, examine 1; 23 1) to test, examine, prove, scrutinise (to see whether a thing is genuine or not), as metals 2) to recognise as genuine after examination, to approve, deem worthy I believe that once you have renewed your mind in a particular area (I say particular area because right now I believe renewing our minds is a lifetime process) then you can 1. prove what is that good, acceptable and perfect will of God 2. ask according to His will When you ask according to His will, He hears you. Since He hears you, you have the petition you asked. 1 John 5:14-15. |

70 | Teacher, when were the 11 rebaptized? | Romans | mbooker | 67007 | ||
Good morning Brother Tim Such a clear and precise post!! (at least to me :) ) While I firmly believe we are saved by grace thru faith and not of works, I struggled with thinking that believing and receiving could technically be termed as a 'work'. Your example was refreshing to me and I especially liked the way you ended this post: The Biblical view of works in quite clear: I believe and am saved then I obey and do good works. Not: I believe and obey and do good works and then I am saved. This is another gospel! I thank God for you and what you share here... btw, I will be looking for an interlinear Bible Thanks again Meredith |

Good Afternoon Brother Tim. I have heard people say 'in the Greek, it literally says...' and I see you used the term 'literal translation'. Where do you go to find the literal translation or what it 'literally says in the Greek'? I pray that you and yours are doing well today... Meredith |

Yes Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother. But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established. And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican. Matthew 18:15-17 |

Good Morning Brother Tim I have prayed for your daughter, granddaughter, and even the boyfriend. I have prayed for you that you would count it all joy during this trial, that you know that the trying of your faith works patience, that you let patience have her perfect work so that you may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. May you and your family be strong in the power of His might. Meredith |

I don't know if I would say it was wrong for a Christian woman to ask a Christian man out on a date, but I would tend to shy away from it for the following reasons: God brought Eve to Adam Gensis 2:22 Abraham send his servant to get a wife for Isaac Gensis 24:4 Whoever finds a wife, finds a good thing Proverbs 18:22 Meredith |

Post continuation: Paul is a good example of a citizen asserting his rights: The chief captain commanded him to be brought into the castle, and bade that he should be examined by scourging; that he might know wherefore they cried so against him. And as they bound him with thongs, Paul said unto the centurion that stood by, Is it lawful for you to scourge a man that is a Roman, and uncondemned? When the centurion heard that, he went and told the chief captain, saying, Take heed what thou doest: for this man is a Roman. Then the chief captain came, and said unto him, Tell me, art thou a Roman? He said, Yea. And the chief captain answered, With a great sum obtained I this freedom. And Paul said, But I was free born. Then straightway they departed from him which should have examined him: and the chief captain also was afraid, after he knew that he was a Roman, and because he had bound him. Acts 22:24-29 I am going to assume that the chief captain in Acts 22 was a civil authority. Paul himself wrote in Romans 13:1: Let every person be loyally subject to the governing (civil) authorities. For there is no authority except from God [by His permission, His sanction], and those that exist do so by God's appointment Amp If Paul could demand his rights from the civil authorities to whom he was to be loyally subject, is it to farfetched for a woman to act in similar fashion? I do not see an act of disodedience if a woman secures safety for herself if she is being afflicted with physical pains, injures, or potential death. What I see is a woman who foresees evil and hides. Now maybe I’m stretching it a bit because I am a woman, but I’m sure someone will show me the err of my ways :) Meredith |

77 | Submit . . . unless it hurts? | Eph 5:33 | mbooker | 66641 | ||
My understanding concerning Job: It was Satan, not God, who attempted to slay him. AGAIN THERE was a day when the sons of God [the angels] came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan (the adversary and the accuser) came also among them to present himself before the Lord. And the Lord said to Satan, From where do you come? And Satan (the adversary and the accuser) answered the Lord, From going to and fro on the earth and from walking up and down on it. And the Lord said to Satan, Have you considered My servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, one who [reverently] fears God and abstains from and shuns all evil [because it is wrong]? And still he holds fast his integrity, although you moved Me against him to destroy him without cause. Then Satan answered the Lord, Skin for skin! Yes, all that a man has will he give for his life. But put forth Your hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse and renounce You to Your face. And the Lord said to Satan, Behold, he is in your hand; only spare his life. So Satan went forth from the presence of the Lord and smote Job with loathsome and painful sores from the sole of his foot to the crown of his head. Job 2:1-7 Amp My understanding concerning Jesus: A part of his purpose was for him to die: He said unto them, But whom say ye that I am? Peter answering said, The Christ of God. And he straitly charged them, and commanded them to tell no man that thing; Saying, The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be slain, and be raised the third day. Luke 9:20-22 KJV And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal. If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour. Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour. John 12:23-27 KJV Now :), as a woman your statement caught my eye: ‘Please help me see where scripture relieves a wife of the resposibility under God to submit to her husband because it pains, injures, or even kills her.’ The ‘even kills her’ really got my attention. The following scripture came to my mind: A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself: but the simple pass on, and are punished. Proverbs 22:3 KJV A prudent man sees danger and takes refuge, but the simple keep going and suffer for it. NIV I looked up the word for evil at blueletterbible.org: Ra, rah evil, wickedness, wicked, mischief, hurt, bad, trouble, sore, affliction, ill, adversity, favoured, harm, naught, noisome, grievous, sad; other words used to define evil: 1b) bad, unpleasant, evil (giving pain, unhappiness, misery); 1h) evil (hurtful); 1i) bad, unkind (vicious in disposition); 2) evil, distress, misery, injury, calamity; 3) evil, misery, distress, injury; I do not believe Proverb 22:3 relieves a wife from the responsibility of submitting to her husband, but I do believe it is a way of escape for a wife who is threatened with physical pains, injures, or death. And by the way, isn’t assault against the law? Yes it is. And as a citizen of the US, a woman has a right to not have her rights violated. Right? :) Continue in next post |

79 | Did Jesus suffer in hell when he died? | Luke 23:46 | mbooker | 66164 | ||
Good Morning EdB Did Jesus, by his own blood, enter in once into the holy place (Heb 9:12), after he died or after he was resurrected. I ask because of the following passages of scripture: Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master. Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God. John 20:16-17 Here, after his resurrection, Mary could not touch Jesus because he had not yet ascended to the Father. And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you. Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing. John 20:26-27 But here, he told Thomas to thrust his hand into his side, which leads me to believe that by this time he had ascended to the Father. Meredith |

80 | Which teaching | Matt 14:29 | mbooker | 66158 | ||
Good Morning Pastor Glenn Just this morning I was thinking about the Canaanite woman and the fact that she did not have a covenant relationship with God as the Jews had. She was indeed an 'outsider'. Naaman is definitely a good example of an outsider receiving from Jehovah Rapha. I believed that he believed the report of the little maid from Isreal: And she said unto her mistress, Would God my lord were with the prophet that is in Samaria! for he would recover him of his leprosy. 2 Kings 5:3 I believe that Naaman and the Canaanite woman, outsiders, were able to receive what they desired because they believed/had faith. The following shows some ‘insiders’ who did not receive from the Lord because of their unbelief: And when he was come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works? Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas? And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this man all these things? And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house. And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief. Matt 13:54-58 And he went out from thence, and came into his own country; and his disciples follow him. And when the sabbath day was come, he began to teach in the synagogue: and many hearing him were astonished, saying, From whence hath this man these things? and what wisdom is this which is given unto him, that even such mighty works are wrought by his hands? Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him. But Jesus, said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house. And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed them. And he marvelled because of their unbelief. And he went round about the villages, teaching. Luke 6:1-6 I agree that it’s sad when an outsider seems to trust our Father more than we do. My prayer is that we, the children of the Most High God: 1. will be as bold as lions Prov 28:1 2. will come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. Heb 4:16 3. will not be guilty of having an evil heart of unbelief Heb 3:12 4. will mix the word with faith so that it may profit us Heb 4:2 5. and finally, may we believe so that we can enter into the rest of God Heb 4:3 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you Meredith |
