81 | Why is a good reputaion so important? | 1 Tim 3:7 | prayon | 156531 | ||
Greetings Diomede, there is no guarentee that it does. We want to have a "good reputation" with non Christians because we are to be examples of Christ. We need to let the light of Christ shine in us so that those who are lost in darkness can find their way. Walking like Christ walked and having a solid foundation of the Word is what keeps us from falling into the snares of the enemy. prayon |

82 | how to be filled with the Holy Spirit? | Acts 2:4 | prayon | 156466 | ||
Greetings Deltron, happyandfree is correct in that you must ask and believe but there are a few things that I would like to add. First you must desire in your heart for God to give you the GIFT of the Holy Spirit. If you ask with a sincere heart you will receive. If you don't feel you received it right away stay in prayer until you know that you know that you know that the Holy Spirit now lives in you. After you ask though I think is the hardest part. You must allow the Holy Spirit to take control and allow Him to show himself in ways that you might not feel comfortable with i.e. tongues. Ask God for the gift and then allow the Holy Ghost to use you as He sees fit. prayon |

83 | Are we losing our churches to satan? | 2 Thess 2:11 | prayon | 155858 | ||
Hi JWeaver and welcome to the forum! You are correct there is no such scripture, in fact, the bible clearly states that homosexuality is an abomination to the Lord. In 2Thes 2:3 it states that in the end times there will be a great falling away. Verse 9-12 says that that "the coming of the lawless one is, according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs and lying wonders". It goes on to say tthat there will be unrighteous deception among those who will perish because they did not accept the truth that they might be saved. In v 11 it warns us that God will send those people stong delusion, that they should believe the lie. There are many who love sin and pleasure and prefer to believe a lie rather than the truth. The MacArthur study bble explains it this way: "God Himself will send judgment that insures their fate in the form of a deluding influence so that they continue to believe what is false. They accept evil as good and a lie as the truth. Thus does God use Satan and the Antichrist as His instruments of judgment (1Kin 22:19-33)". This is what is happening today not only with the lie of homosexuality but with many other issues as well. Satan can and will use pastors and churches to deceive people just as he will use anyone else. prayon |

86 | Was the temple curtain repaired? | Heb 9:1 | prayon | 152255 | ||
Greetings Songbird. I must apologise - I am moving and all my reference material is packed. I believe that the priests attempted to fix the curtain but never did. If they had there would of been a curtain between us and God but there is not. As I said I have no scriptural back-up for that at this time. prayon | ||||||

88 | Did Jesus suffer from depression? | Matt 26:37 | prayon | 148760 | ||
Greetings, No He did not suffer from depression. The KJV says that He felt sorrowful and very heavy. Sorrowful means saddness or to grieve. God's Word translation says that He felt "deep anguish." The Message bible says that He felt "agonizing sorrow". He was filled with such great sorrow because of what wash happening that He felt weighed down but not depressed. prayon |

90 | Tongues speaking selfish w/o interteper? | 1 Cor 14:4 | prayon | 148586 | ||
Edify means to build up. Verse 2 says that "When a person speaks in another language, he doesn't speak to people but to God." (GW) So what you are saying is that it is selfish of me to want to build myself up spiritually? Verse 2 says that So me speaking to God in another language to build myself up is selfish? prayon |

91 | Where's speaking in tongues - in context | John 14:26 | prayon | 148585 | ||
No it doesn't specifically say tongues, When you pray in tongues you are very aware of the Holy Spirit which is dwelling inside you. It is very easy when we are not conscious of His presense to become irratated or frustrated, but the more you let Him show His presense verbally the more aware you are of Him. prayon | ||||||

93 | Why should a child be baptized? | Acts 2:38 | prayon | 148124 | ||
Greetings, A child, as well as an adult, should be baptized when they accept Jesus as their savior. It is an outward sign of their profession of salvation. When it is a baby or a small child and we choose to do it it is actually a dedication. We are dedicating the child to God. We can not choose salvation for anyone but ourself not even our children, it must be their choice. Some churches however believe that you can baptize a baby. prayon |

94 | Is it biblical to speak in tounges? | 1 Cor 14:1 | prayon | 148123 | ||
Greetings Marcie and welcome to the forum. Speaking in tongues is today as well as in biblical times. God is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. What He desired of people in biblical days He desires of us now. Co 14:2,4a When a person speaks in another language, he doesn't speak to people but to God. No one understands him. His spirit is speaking mysteries....When a person speaks in another language, he helps himself grow. I have listed 10 reasons why believers should speak in tongues in my reply to Nomi just above this question in the "answered questions". prayon |

95 | what is the importance of tongues? | Acts 2:4 | prayon | 148122 | ||
Greetings, "1Co 14:2 When a person speaks in another language, he doesn't speak to people but to God. No one understands him. His spirit is speaking mysteries. 1Co 14:4a When a person speaks in another language, he helps himself grow. Here are 10 reasons why it is important for every believer should speak in tongues: 1) Tongues is the initial sign of being filled with the Holy Spirit (Acts 4) 2) Tongues for Spiritual edification (1Cor 14:4) 3) Tongues reminds us of the Spirit's Indwelling (John 14:16,17) 4) Tonues will keep our prayers in line with God's will (Rom 8:26) 5) Praying in Tongues stimulates faith (Jude 20) 6) Praying in tongues keeps us free from worldly contamination (1Cor 14:28) 7) Praying in tongues enables us to pray for the unknown. (Rom 8:26) 8) Praying in tongues gives us spiritual refreshing (Is 28:11,12) 9) Tongues for giving thanks (1Cor 14:15-17) 10) Speaking in tongues brings the tongue under submission (James 3:8) Hope this helps. I think that the main importance is it draws us into a deeper relationship with God. We let God have a greater control over us when we allow Him to control our tongues. When we pray in tongues we put "us" aside and let "Him". prayon |

96 | Choosing a bilbe text | Matt 10:8 | prayon | 147865 | ||
Greetings, I agree with you the King James Version is beautiful but many people can not understand it. I never recommend it to a new believer. May I suggest the New King James Version which is much easier to read or the New International Version which is also very popular. Many blessings to you for this undertaking! prayon | ||||||
97 | What does the "SPEAKING IN TONGUES MEAN" | Acts 2:4 | prayon | 147863 | ||
Greetings Nomi, Speaking in tounges means that you allow the Holy Spirit which lives inside you to speak or pray.

99 | Did Jesus ascend during the 8 days | John 20:17 | prayon | 146982 | ||
Greetings and welcome to the forum. There is much contraversy on that point and the bible does not specifically say. It is my belief that He did. Christ said in this verse to not touch Him because He had not yet ascended to the father. But yet in John 20:27 He tells Thomas to touch Him therefore He must of already ascended to the Father. For other view points you can type the verse into the quick search in the upper left corner. prayon |
