81 | Is God's love unconditional ? | John 3:16 | GeorJoy | 91612 | ||
Gods Love (IS) unconditional, however salvation, (the eternal life mentioned in Jn 3:16) is not. Those who would rather justify and remain in their sin and ignorance, will argue this fact. George |

82 | HUSBANDS LOVE LIKE CHRIST LOVED? | Eph 5:28 | GeorJoy | 91436 | ||
Eph 5:25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; "Even as Christ loved the church;" This was the strongest love that has ever been evinced in this world. It follows, that a husband is in no danger of loving his wife too much, provided she be not loved more than God. We are to make the love which Christ had for the church the model. The husband should also consider and pay heed to the deepest meaning of the following. Eph 5:28 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. One can easily get caught up in church activities. Unless your husband is a Pastor, it is NOT Gods intent that your husband should forsake his family for “church activities.” If he is a Pastor, then there are sacrifices that both you and he have to make. May I suggest that you AND your husband consider a prayerful and diligently study of what the word has to say concerning the “duties of a husband” and the “duties of a wife.” Eph 5:20 would be a good starting point. If, after having done so, there are still questions or contentions, your Pastor should be able to provide guidance in the matter. May God Bless protect, watch over and be with you and yours. George |

83 | What is the leaven? | Matt 16:6 | GeorJoy | 90960 | ||
Unleavened bread, (bread without yeast) represents the word of God in it's purest form. Leaven is what man has to add to it. There are many tell tale signs that you ask of. One I consider is when the pastor feels he has to ask for money 3 or 4 times each meeting. Sure it is his job to remind the congrigation of their duty to tythe and give offerings; we occasionally tend to want to forget, but I feel that, if the church is truly doing the Lords work, He will provide for them without them having to beg or make the congrigation feel bad for not having more to give. Stay with the word straight from the bible or the mouth of a man of God, and you won't go wrong. George |

84 | Are we to be aware of the "Pharisees and | Matt 16:6 | GeorJoy | 90958 | ||
The Pharisees and Sadducees could commonly be refered to as False Prophets. As to who they are. If they are not teaching the word according "to the letter of the gospel," then that is who they are. Your best defense against them is your personal study of the word, and a "God Ordained" church and Pastor. KJV 2Ti 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. There is a fine line between discernment and judgement. Discernment in my humble opinion is spiritual. Judgement, by man is carnal. If one listens to that "inner voice," gut feeling or whatever they choose to call it; chances are, they won't go wrong. God is not pleased with anyone who does not teach the word in it's purest form. However, as to those individuals, "If anyone should cause one of these little ones to lose his faith in me, it would be better for that person to have a large millstone tied around his neck and be drowned in the deep sea GNB Mat 18:6. By that I do not say that it is not right to paraphrase, or to put in ones own words. As long as the meaning is the same. George |

85 | brother john | 1 Cor 3:16 | GeorJoy | 90893 | ||
"So, addiction is not sin"! Are you serious? Are you addressing this question to a particular individual? One can be addicted to anything; Sex, drugs, strong drink, gambling, shopping, on and on. ... and what seems to be one of todays favorites, PLEASURE and self indulgence in general. Does not the addicted become a slave to what he is addicted? If so, then, does not the addiction dictate the ways of the addicted. Has he not turned from the service of God to that of his addiction? KJV Heb 10:26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, George |

86 | IS MOSES GOD? | Acts 7:35 | GeorJoy | 90892 | ||
Exo 6:26 These are that Aaron and Moses, to whom the LORD said, Bring out the children of Israel from the land of Egypt according to their armies. Act 7:35 This Moses whom they refused, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge? --"the same did God send to be a ruler and a deliverer"-- by the hand of the angel which appeared to him in the bush. Act 7:36 He brought them out, after that he had shewed wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, and in the Red sea, and in the wilderness forty years. If you will notice, the Lord "did it" [through Moses.] Moses was made [by God] to be (as God) to the Isralites. If you will read Exodus (then reread and study it,) you will understand much more.

88 | salvation and born again. Same thing? | John 3:3 | GeorJoy | 90888 | ||
If you are "born again," you are a new person spiritually. One enters the kingdon by Grace, through faith and confession... KJV Act 15:11 But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved, Rom 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. Rom 10:10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Joh 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Joh 3:7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. Joh 3:8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit. Joh 3:9 Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be? Joh 3:10 Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things? Joh 3:11 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness. Joh 3:12 If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things? George |

89 | "Born-again Christian" redundant? | John 3:3 | GeorJoy | 90879 | ||
Good question. Yes and no. Yes, in that you are correct. No, in that sometimes it is necessary to clarify what, to some may not be as obvious as it is to others. However... Are all Christians born again? If they believe in Christ, some call them Christians. That doesn’t mean that they have accepted Him as their Lord and Savior. . George |

90 | Isn't believing Christ for salvation suf | John 3:3 | GeorJoy | 90876 | ||
This "Salvation Stuff" as you call it is the "stuff' you, I and everyone else needs to keep our immortal soul from "Eternal Damnation in the lake of fire and brimstone." As to "What makes you think you must born again to be saved?" Nothing makes me "think so." The word of God lets me "KNOW" so. If you are not familiar with it and you are concerned with what the future holds for your immortal soul. I would suggest you get into it. KJV Joh 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Joh 3:6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Joh 3:7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. Joh 3:8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit. George |

91 | I'm needing the answer on Galations 5 | John 3:3 | GeorJoy | 90874 | ||
Paul is speaking of the "sins of the flesh" in the passage you quote. He states "for the flesh doth desire contrary to the Spirit." We have ALL sined and come short of the glory of God! There is but one UNFORGIVABLE sin, and that is to sin against the Holy spirit "Ghost". If, when you pray it seems that at times the Lord is farther away, it is not He who moved. Sin seperates us from Him. Repent in sincerity, confess, and if you have accepted His Son, You WILL be forgiven. Whether you have forgiven yourself or not. Learn to "walk in the spirit" and you will enjoy the fruits thereof, mentioned in 5:22. One of which is the peace you seem to be looking for. George |

92 | Male-female equality? | Gal 3:28 | GeorJoy | 90502 | ||
I only checked your profile to try to determine your gender. Looks like I may have found a gold mine of links. I love e-sword and use it many times daily. I can't imagine anything more usefull. What are your thoughts, for I am a sponge just waiting to soak up more of the LIVING WATER? Although I do my best to give my own milk, I love grazing in others pastures. George |

93 | Male-female equality? | Gal 3:28 | GeorJoy | 90501 | ||
Gal 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. Paul has a lot to say about male-female equality. Most don't care to hear it though. There is a also a lot said about male-female equality in the book of Genisis and throughout the rest of the bible. NOT IN THE EXACT WORDS, "male-female equality." I would say that the best answer to your question is found in Eph 5:28 "So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. " Considering your profile, I'd also say that this is a "loaded question." George |
||||||
94 | Babies in Heaven | Gal 3:28 | GeorJoy | 90499 | ||
Scripture supports everyone going to heaven. For it is not Gods will that anyone should perish. I don’t think we, (mortal man) understand or comprehend the fact that a spiritual being is neither male nor female, Greek nor Gentile, child nor adult. You may need to elaborate. George |

95 | What steps would I take to get saved | Acts 2:1 | GeorJoy | 90493 | ||
Actually, getting the Holy Ghost and getting saved are two completely different things. You labeled your post "What steps would I take to get saved?" Then you ask a completely different question? Both your answers are in Acts 2 as I previously stated, but I would suggest that if you have not accepted Jesus Christ as your savior, you concern yourself with that topic first and foremost. First things first. One must first bake the cake before the icing is applied. George |

Read and "study" Acts 2. I am in the same process at this very time. Then heed. George |

97 | Proverbs chapter 31, don't understand | Prov 31:1 | GeorJoy | 90422 | ||
This chapter contains the last part of the book of Proverbs; which some reckon the fifth, others the sixth. It contains the instructions of the mother of a prince, whose name was Lemuel, which she gave unto him; and which are so valuable, as to be annexed to the proverbs of Solomon. The preface or introduction to them is in Pro_31:1; the address to her son, Pro_31:2. The vices she cautions him against are uncleanness and intemperance; which she dissuades from, because of the pernicious consequences of both to kings and to their subjects, Pro_31:3. Advises rather to give wine and strong drink to poor people, such as are in distress; as being more useful to them, at least less prejudicial, Pro_31:6; and exhorts her son to the duties of his office; by pleading the cause of the poor and injured, and administering justice to them, Pro_31:8. And then at large describes a virtuous woman; perhaps designed as an instruction to her son in the choice of a wife, Pro_31:10; though more than that may be intended by it. Per Dr. John Gill George |

98 | Is God he, she or neither? | Gen 2:4 | GeorJoy | 90420 | ||
Does it really matter? What does it say in the word? “Gal 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.” So… Why would it be any different for God? Mar 12:25 For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven. In our limited understanding, we must look on Him as one or the other. I would recommend that one should take the bible as truth and not try to add to or subtract from it. For as it says in Rev 22:19; “And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.” I would say that one would be wise to heed this warning as to the rest of Gods word as well... I should also think that before answering any such a question as yours, one should seriously consider what is said in Mat 18:6 (GNB); "If anyone should cause one of these little ones to lose his faith in me, it would be better for that person to have a large millstone tied around his neck and be drowned in the deep sea.” I, personally think of God as a “HE,” simply because HIS word depicts such. I believe however in what I stated from the word above, and my comments thereon. “there is neither male nor female…” George |

100 | can musical instrument be used in church | Bible general Archive 1 | GeorJoy | 90410 | ||
No, is it NOT against biblical principles to use musical instruments during worship services. As a mater of face; KJV Psa 150:4 Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with stringed instruments and organs. Isa 38:20 The LORD was ready to save me: therefore we will sing my songs to the stringed instruments all the days of our life in the house of the LORD. George |
