661 | What's going on? | Revelation | prayon | 18591 | ||
Welcome to the forum Eschatoncc, You have every right to be here. We welcome any questions that you may have. This is a forum of God's word, which you seem to know and believe. From your letter I can see that in your heart you are neither agnostic nor an atheist. Your mind just needs to give in to what your heart already knows to be the truth. Proverbs 22:6 says that when you "raise up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it". You were raised in the Catholic faith...... There is nothing we can do to prevent Revelations from coming to pass. The Lord said it would happen and it will, although we know not when. I will refer you to 2Chron 7:14 in answer to your question of what can we do. "If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear them from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land". Pray, my friend, that more people of this world will wake up and see the truth. prayon |

662 | what are latter days and In-Times? | Bible general Archive 1 | prayon | 18589 | ||
The latter days are the same as the end times. It is the period just before Christ returns to claim his people and Armegeddon - which ever comes first based on your belief of whether the rapture is pre-trib, trib, or post-trib. (I am assuming you mean End-times instead of IN-times). prayon | ||||||

664 | What are the Spiritual gifts? | 1 Corinthians | prayon | 18430 | ||
Greetings Alex, There are a variety of gifts. These include the gifts of healing, wisdom, discernment, knowledge, teacher, faith, tounges and the interpretation of tounges, prophecy, giving and many, many more. You can read about spiritual gifts in 1Cor 12 and 13. There are also questionaires at your local Christian book store that can help you determine what yours are. prayon | ||||||
665 | Jesus' temptation | John 1:32 | prayon | 17518 | ||
Each of the gospels is told by a different person and each of these persons stressed a different aspect of Jesus. Matthew presents Jesus as the mighty king. It emphasizes on the Power of Christ and is presented in a teaching style. Mark presents Jesus as the obedient servant. It emphasizes the service of Christ and is the narrative gospel and is full of action. Luke, who was a doctor, wrote about the Son of Man. His gospel is carefully documented and emphasizes the sympathy of Christ. John's gospel is considered the spiritual gospel and emphasizes the wisdom of Christ. Some did go into the temptation because of these differences and some didn't. prayon |

667 | Is sex between singles a sin? | 1 Corinthians | prayon | 17515 | ||
I would like to refer you to this question asked by "forrest" and answered on Apr 4th: What unmarried sexual acts are sinful? The question reveals a frequent misunderstanding of the role and use of laws, rule, and instructions. You are seeking a rule, so it is helpful to look at the role of rules. 1 Timothy 1:9 says that the law is not made for a righteous person but rather for the lawless and rebellious. While such instruction is still useful to guide and instruct (see 2 Timothy 3:16 and Matthew 5:17-19), it is intended to guide and instruct us into recognizing our sin, the need of a savior, and the offer of grace of Christ. Such instruction leads us to a personal encounter with a living God and a real relationship with that God in the person of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is tasked with guiding us in all truth and being our counselor and helper. See John 14.15ff, 15.26-16.15. When this relationship is established between created and creator, we are no longer under the law of stone but rather under the law of the Spirit and of grace. See Romans 6:14ff, Romans 7:4-6. Now this law of grace and law of the Spirit is much more demanding than the law of stone and its righteousnoess is greater than the righteousness of the law (pharisees). As God dwells within us He transforms us so that His desire becomes our desire, His longing our longing, His heart our heart. We learn of Him and hear Him through His word and hungry and expectant reading and "chewing" or meditation on His word (scripture) and through prayer (speaking and listening), worship (admiration of who He is and expressing our love for Him), and fellowship (He works through His people to reveal Himself). All this being said your question still has very practical aspects. As in ," My boyfriend/girlfriend and I are getting serious and are considering marriage but have not yet decided. There is tremendous pressure to move into areas of physical intimacy which I am not sure are pleasing to God. What guidance is there in scripture as to how far is too far?" But once the question is phrased this way you see that the real issue is not what you can do, but rather what is pleasing to God. If you are asking this question, the answers are much more apparent. Scripture clearly shows that God intended and created our sexuality as a means of establishing and maintaining a committed life long realtionship between a man and woman as a type/example of His desire to have eternal realtionship with us. God even uses the image of the returning Christ as a bridegroom and the church as His bride. Why would you involve yourself in any physical activity which creates a physiological yearning which can not righteously be satisfied (i.e. sexual intercourse outside of marriage). Even other sexual acts involve such intimacy and personal contact as to be violative of the other person (and God's intention) absent a committed life-long relationship (marriage). If I had to carve an answer in stone (God desires to do so in your heart) any intimate sexual contact is violative of God's intention of sexual (and thus spiritual--see 1 Corinthians 6.15-20)realtions. This would include, but not be limited to oral sex, manual sex, masturbation, and "feeling" or petting of the body parts of another. If the relationship is ready for these things, why is not ready for commitment. Do not buy the lie that you need to test before you buy. It is God who makes a proper spouse and it is a lifelong process. |

669 | Can I trust this Pastor? | Hebrews | prayon | 16848 | ||
Greetings Jensen! Do not use the fact that the pastor insists that Paul is the author dictate whether that is the church for you. He may be right - he may be wrong, no one knows. In looking for a church, especially being a new Christian, try a variety of churches that profess to be a bible believing, Word teaching church. When you get to a church that you feel comfortable in (or have a inner peace about) then that is where you belong. Just pray and ask God for His direction. Your spirit man (or the Holy Spirit that now lives in you) will direct you if you let him. If you feel uncomfortable then that is not where you should be - keep searching. You should definitly get involved in a good bible study also. No matter where you end up, in any church, always see if what the pastor teaches lines up with the word of God. prayon | ||||||
670 | what are the events of the end times???? | Revelation | prayon | 16726 | ||
The bible has much to say on the events of the end times. Matt 24:6 tells us that we will hear of wars and rumors of wars; and that nation will rise up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, (many believe this was fulfilled in WWI) and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 2Tim 3:1 tells us that distressing times will come and gives us a profile of what people will be like. Matt 24:45 tells us that many will come in Jesus name saying that they are the Christ and will deceive many. Luke 21: 25-26 tells us that there will be signs in the sun and moon and starts and the world will be perplexed by roaring seas and strange tides. In chapter 12 in the book of Daniel, Daniel prophecies about the last days. 1Tim 4:1-2 tells us that in the last days some will renounce the faith by paying attention to deceitful spirits and the teachings of demons. Some of the other events that are prophesied to occur in the end times are: The return of the Jews to their homeland. (Isreal became a nation again in 1948). The rise of a great military power in the Orient that can field an army of 22 million - Red China alone is said to have this many. Revival of the dark occult practices of ancient Babylon. Hope this helps. prayon |

674 | i do not understand deuteronomy | Deuteronomy | prayon | 16106 | ||
Welcome shepherd! Deuteronomy is Moses last message to Isreal. It's purpose is to remind the people what God has done and encourage them to rededicate their lives to Him. Moses first address in 1:1-4:43 is about what God has done for us. His second address 4:44-29:1 gives us the principles for Godly living. Moses third address, 29:2-30:20, is a call for commitment to God. Verses 31:1-34:12 talks about the change in leadership in Moses last days. The book of Deuteronomy is also called the book of love and is called the crown jewel of the Pentateuch. It is referred to about 200 times in the New Testament. It lays before us clearly what God expects from those who He redeems; a life of uncompromising obedience. prayon | ||||||
675 | What does revelation say about towers | Revelation | prayon | 16102 | ||
Nolesurfer9, I agree with EdB that nowhere in Revelations does it speak of towers and a metal bird but Isa 30:25 is noteworthy. Chapter 30 is about the prophecy against rebels referring to the Egyptian alliance: "On every lofty mountain and every high hill there will be brooks running with water - on a day of slaughter, when the towers fall." prayon | ||||||

679 | the goat a sign for satan? | OT general | prayon | 15574 | ||
Goats were of great importance in ancient life. In ancient economy goats were very useful and thus were a measure of wealth (1Sam 25:2; 2 Chron 17;11). Since the goat was so important it became the sacrificial animal. It is not that they are a symbol of satan, - but just that our sins were transfered from us onto the goat because God required a blood sacrifice for our sins. prayon | ||||||
680 | Is eternal life possible right now? | Heb 1:1 | prayon | 15571 | ||
First of all I think that you need realize that the bible says that we need to be in a church. It is impossible to serve the body (be a servant) if you are not in a body. It also sounds to me like you are judgeing pastors, churches, kalos, and those who speak in tongues. Who are you to judge? You can not say that those who "repeatedly babble" the same words are not truly speaking in tongues. I am sure that you do not know all the languges every used. You say repetitive - Is it not possible that they are repeating the same word over and over again as many do when they call out for Jesus, Jesus, Jesus. We are told in Matthew not to judge - We are also told to be humble. Forgive me but you sound awfully jugemental and vain in your post. |
