61 | Holy Spirit convicts of sin? | 2 Tim 2:15 | strts5 | 215058 | ||
I don't think I will get any fans here, but Matthew Henry is wrong according to the verse. In the verse it says He convicts the world of sin and the only sin that is mentioned is the sin of not knowing Christ. I think I will keep it simple and not add anything that that is not there or implied. So again, does the Holy Spirit ever convict anyone of any sin other than not knowing Christ. This would obviously not include Christians and implies the Holy Spirit only convicts us of our Righteousness which only comes from Christ and not of ourselves but is ours never the less. Not by anything we have accomplished of ourselves. What I am attempting to achieve here is a polar shift in my faith. I have always felt guilty for a sin I committed and thought it was "the conviction of the Holy Spirit". After a proper reading of this verse I now know I was wrong and that is not the Holy Spirit! |

62 | Holy Spirit convicts of sin? | 2 Tim 2:15 | strts5 | 215050 | ||
...It is to YOUR advantage that I go away... ...go to My Father and YOU see Me no more... Clearly verse 10 is the subject of the audience, those that do believe. So, does the Holy Spirit point out our sins to us, or does He point out our Righteousness? |

63 | Holy Spirit convicts of sin? | 2 Tim 2:15 | strts5 | 215048 | ||
I was looking for other scripture or input that the Holy Spirit convicts Christians of Righteousness and NOT sin. Are there other verses that also say this? | ||||||
64 | Holy Spirit convicts of sin? | Not Specified | strts5 | 215045 | ||
I was reading a book and came across a quote. At first it shocked me because I had always read this verse or heard this verse quoted wrong. I want to know if anyone has any input here? The Holy Spirit convicts us (Christians) of sin? No convicts the world of not believing in Christ! Convict Christians of Righteousness! John 16:8-11 8"And He, when He comes, will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment; 9concerning sin, (N)because they do not believe in Me; 10and concerning (O)righteousness, because (P)I go to the Father and you no longer see Me; 11(Q)and concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged. |

66 | Glorious church? | Rev 1:11 | strts5 | 206125 | ||
Thank you and I agree. I think my point was all to often I feel like christians both from the pew and the pulpit describe the church like a third world country raveged by plague and starvation. I am starting to think we need to start seeing the church here and now as the beautiful bride of Christ that it is. Stop attempting to treat the field of wheat like its all tares. I'm kind of on a rant, a little frustrated. In love, Mike |

Ephesians 3:7-11 ...to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ, 9and to make plain to everyone the administration of this mystery, which for ages past was kept hidden in God, who created all things. 10His intent was that now, through the church, the manifold wisdom of God should be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realms, 11according to his eternal purpose which he accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord. I was raised Pentacostal and remember the pastor talking about end times, and the enemy and to always be carefull or else... (use your imagination). I've also heard many preachers teaching doomsday and be on watch, because these other churches, etc... Are we really members of a weak, just barelly making it by church, or are we a glorious church known throught heaven that the enemy fears? Maybe I'm just on a tangent here. I visited a church last night, great worship, I always feel so buisy doing stuff at my church I can't just stop and enjoy. The sermon though, for some reason just jumped out at me like fingernails on a chalkboard. He was talking about how things are about to get get real difficult for the church and how many are going to fall away if we don't pray and do this and that, etc. I know there is truth to this in one aspect but also didn't Paul say , " many would fall away, if it were possible"? I don't know, but I am starting to feal we are much more united than many percieve, much more powerfull and glorious. Anyway, maybe I'm missing something, I would like to hear others thoughts on this. Are we weak and misserable or is it what God sais? In love, Mike |

69 | Carpenter or rabbi? | Matthew | strts5 | 204638 | ||
Dear Tamara, Thank you. And a side note, only God can forgive I know, however I believe in being open about my walk for accountability and growth. I think I was "teaching" with wrong motives (partially). I will never stop having conversations with the world about Christ though. I think it's the point. In love, Mike |

70 | Carpenter or rabbi? | Matthew | strts5 | 204633 | ||
Thought I would share (repent) with everyone here. When asking the above question I already knew the answere but was only looking for reinforcement for an arguement at work. The next morning my a sales manager ( I'm a car salesman ) approached me and asked if we could talk privately. He tells me he was at home the night before painting when the Lord asked him to speake to me. So he tells me why do I feel the need to be right all the time and correct everyone, when instead I should be a light and encourage people in such a dark workplace... Anyway, maybe I need to focus on studying to show myself approved to God while serving my co-workers. Not the other way around. In love Mike |

I'm sure this has been discussed before but could not find any posts dealing directly with it. Was Jesus a carpenter or a rabbi? Typically Rabbi's didn't have jobs (I think) and also Jesus was doing the will of the Father. Joseph wasn't his father. Joseph did raise him though. I don't know if this has a diffinitive answere, maybe just two schools of thought. |

74 | When and where was the Pentecost? | Acts 2:1 | strts5 | 204061 | ||
Oh, sorry. Hopefully I didn't intrude. I read this this morning orriginally but had to run off to work. When I got back I didn't take the time to say hi before jumping in. Just really fascinated, sorry... In love, Mike |

75 | Pentacost | Acts 2:1 | strts5 | 204059 | ||
If you click on a thread, scroll to the bottom and you can see the entire thread. I'm listed as strts5 but I'm really Mike. Try that, should make more sense... Also on this thread I want to say more but don't have diffinitive evidence or greek understanding. I'll go ahead anyway and state "in my opinion" however don't in any way take it as Gospel, but it kinda makes sense. So here goes... Acts 2:1 ..."when the day of Pentacost had fully come"... may mean it was already day time and they were already at the Temple. Acts 2:3 ..."and it filled all the house"... House can mean both a home or the Temple and many other things, etc. etc. Acts 1:4 And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me. So Jesus commanded them to go to Jerusalem but not nessecarily the upper room. Acts 1:13 And when they were come in, they went up into an upper room, where abode... Abode simply means to live, it does not say they didn't leave. Anyway, I "think" it is very possible and even probable they were already in the Temple when they reiceved the Holy Spirit. It would have deffinately made quite an impression. There are also some evidence this may have been the case if you look at the O.T. Read about the dedication of Solomon's Temple. Anyway I am definately up for critiquing and encourage it please. |

Tamara, the house was big, but Acts 2:41, the house wasn't that big. However in Acts 2:15 it was around 9am. So, the holy men of God were gathered together for "Shavuot" (pentecost). Shavuot is traditionally practiced by praying all night (without sleeping) then going to the temple for a reading of the law. I am going to make a couple of assumptions. Reading the "Tora" probobly took most of the day(it's long), so you would most likely head to the temple pretty early. So I am going to guess and say that they were filled with the Holy Spirit while they wre praying all night. At around 9am (after they recieved the promise Jesus told them to wait for) they headed off to the temple, since they still were following the Jewish traditions. So, and I'm guessing, when Peter began prophesying they were either on there way to the temple or already there. |

I was recently reading a Pastor's notes for service and in it he basically said Shem (Noah's son) was also Melchizedek. I kind of scrached my head a little. Has anyone ever heard anything anywhere about this. It was a first for me. | ||||||

80 | Abraham, Gods first choice??? | Not Specified | strts5 | 193244 | ||
I seem to remember someone telling me Abraham was not Gods first choice, but could not find it anywhere. I think maybe its someone else in the Bible or just fuzzy memory, who knows, but if someone does know please let me know... Mike R ps I shouldn't try to make sense after 11pm. |
