81 | Is this a false prophet? | Job | Jensen | 33868 | ||
Thanks for your reply...Just one thing though. You wrote... "Any church giving a test is kind of going back to the origins of the word church - Circus" I know that you once heard that somewhere, but it wasn't true. The origin of the word "church" is not circus. "Church" has it's origins like this according to Websters Dictionary.... "Middle English chirche, from Old English cirice, ultimately from Late Greek kyriakon, from Greek, neuter of kyriakos of the lord, from kyrios lord, master; akin to Sanskrit KTra hero, warrior Date:before 12th century"..... ........so "church" has its origins in "Lord" Circus has its origin in the word which means "ring". "Latin, circle, circus— more at CIRCLE Date:14th century" Don't for one moment believe half the crap you here about our church. People will make up all kinds of things to bring even a little dishonor upon His Church. Defend the Faith and His church by testing all things. If it doen't sound right in your gut (Holy Spirit?) then check it out. Be in a position to defend the Faith, to give a reason for the Hope that we have. Your brother in Christ Jesus. God Bless....Jensen |

82 | turtle / turtle-dove | Song 2:12 | Jensen | 28425 | ||
That is why the "KJV only" debate is so silly. We do not live in the 1600's. Thanks for your great information. God Bless....Jensen |

Thank You...I have read most of your suggestions. Anything with a response to Fulan Gong specifically would help. None so far though. I may end up writing one myself :-) God Bless....Jensen |

85 | Christian Response To Eastern Thought? | Is 55:11 | Jensen | 30271 | ||
Thank you for your kind response.... You wrote... "Don't sell short the power of the Spirit to use His own inspired words to enlighten the mind and persuade the will of the unbeliever." You misunderstand. My point is that I can not offer as proof something that is dismisseed out of hand....the Bible. I did say that I can use only its' truth. For someone to argue truth by saying "I believe it is true because I heard it on Oprah" will not work on someone who dismisses Oprah out of hand, like I do. You wrote..."It is not that he cannot believe intellectually; it is that he does not WANT to believe."...Precisely the point. Yes...he is surpressing the truth. He uses a new truth, one that is just as real. Just as the Biblical truth has surpressed or shed light on the worlds truth(lie) so too the Fulan Gong truth is replacing Biblical truth for this individual as well as many other Americans. He does not want to believe the Bible. He may, however, believe the Fulan Gong master. Would you beleive the Fulan Gong master as proof that Christianity is a sham? Of course not. You close your mind in the same way that any nonbeliever does when it comes to the Bible. Any Christian response to this movement must not use Biblical verses as proof. Do you see what I mean? We must use the Biblical truth without quoting Scripture. The way I understand the dilema it is a matter of using the Bible without using the Bible :-) God Bless....Jensen |

Thanks Joe...equip.org is a staple resource...Nothing there. God Bless....Jensen |

87 | Christian Response To Eastern Thought? | Is 55:11 | Jensen | 30399 | ||
Thanks again Joe for your reply. Taking the time with this is appreciated...You have helped me to re-think some things. You Wrote..."Exposing the errors of a cult is terribly effective at times in getting a person to reject that organization, but they are still as bound for hell if they are not going to embrace the truth.".... do you see that you have put my argument? The chicken does come before the egg:-) First, a rejection of the current belief; second, the acceptance of a new belief. But not simultaneously or even back and forth replacing each false part of a system of beliefs with the truth of the Christian belief system. Now on to those pesky cultists,....if I could just find some resources. God Bless....Jensen PS. Rom 1:16? I hope that you do not think that I am in anyway "ashamed of the gospel". |

Sorry Joe......Staple as an adjective would mean PRINCIPAL or CHIEF and Resource as you know is A SOURCE OF INFORMATION or EXPERTISE. A staple resource would be a usual source of information. The place where I look regularly and go to most of the time is the site equip.org. But nothing there about the Falan Daffa. Aka Fulan Gong. God Bless....Jensen |

Thank You Charis....Joe has provided an excellent resource. I disagree that knowing the movement will provide little help. If that were so we would not have the field of Christian Apologetics so involved with "knowing" the cults. We would not need to know anything of the Christian cults that are today leading young Americans astray. We would have more shelf space in any Christian bookstore. I think we must know the appeal of these cults if we are to fight against their influence. We battle for souls in many ways….that is because we are a church…..one body, many parts. We are all working together even though we ourselves would do a thing differently we still recognize the value of the other approaches. God Bless….Jensen |

91 | Temple Desecration ? Jews ? swine ? | Daniel | Jensen | 48919 | ||
Dear CoolRob....I searched the NIV and found that "Desecration" does not appear in the text, "Jew" or "Jews" appear(s) 255 times, "swine" does not appear in the text. Pig or Pigs appear 19 times though. And we know of temple desecration, it's just that the words are not used, at least in the NIV. God Bless....Jensen |

93 | Does not tithing disqualify leadership? | Mal 3:10 | Jensen | 22041 | ||
You wrote to ask... "So here is the real issue at hand - should we be disqualified from leadership because we have given more to the Lord at ABC Ministry and less to the Lord at the local church?" ...and I would like to offer my view. I do not tithe. I give money (Time and Talent also) to bring people closer to our Lord; believers and non-believers alike. I know that when I expend my resources I am blessed beyond my understanding. It feels real good! And I learn so much about my own walk with our Lord that I wonder. Do I do this for others or for myself? I am a cheerful giver. And at the same time I have become a leader in my own right, by His image. If it were insisted that I pay the membership fee of a "local" church, I would most certainly be unable to do what I do with my remaining offering. Yet everyone agrees that I provide a good study of the first 11 chapters of the Bible from a scientific point of view. It is evangelistic but also serves to strenghten belief in the Bible as it is written. So what to do? :-) Am I called to church leadership? Hardly. Am I called to be a leader in His church. Cheerfully!! God Bless....Jensen |

94 | What does Matthew 24: 28 mean? | Matt 24:28 | Jensen | 19602 | ||
Dear Heartfire...Another view.... When vultures come they come just at the right time. They will circle in the air untill just the right time, in this case waiting for when something is completly dead. When the Son of Man comes it will be just at the right time. When He comes it will be unmistakable (v.27), in God's own time (v.28). When He comes it will be just at the right time. Hope this helps :) God Bless...Jensen |

95 | Mark 1:6 ? | Mark 1:6 | Jensen | 20021 | ||
Dear Brother Casiv.... As a young earth creationist, your quoting Psalm 19:1 is the way the Lord has used you to soften my heart toward you. But I'm still not going for the number thing, and I will fight this teaching with gentleness and respect. God Bless....Jensen |

PERSONAL NOTE...RETXAR....... Thank you for the study topic for tonight :-) God Bless.....Jensen |

97 | Does Mark 7:19 contradict Acts 15:29? | Mark 7:19 | Jensen | 19714 | ||
Dear Retxar...Thank you for the study. I really know how to answer this question now, something I could not do before I took your suggestions. God Bless.....Jensen |

98 | who was Simon of Cyrene | Mark 15:21 | Jensen | 41663 | ||
Dear Prayon...You Wrote.. "If simon was at first forced to become personally involved in the physical cross of Jesus, it appears later that he chose to take on the spiritual meaning of the cross for himself." I looked to confirm what you wrote but came up short. Could you possibly be confusing this Cyrene with another Simon? Clarification puposes only my friend. God Bless....Jensen |

99 | Can a believer lose his salvation? | Luke 8:13 | Jensen | 31967 | ||
Dear Vony...Welcome to the Forum:-) Your one word reply/answer should be backed up with Scriptural support. What would you answer to someone who asks you for proof of what you say? Assume it is a Christian who asks. You both agree that the Word of God is without error so there you must find your support. Happy hunting!!! God Bless....Jensen |

100 | WILL FAMILY ACCEPT MORMON SPOUSE | Acts 1:1 | Jensen | 44390 | ||
Dear Brethren... The first Christians were not "socialist" for selling all they had. They expected the return of Jesus to be immeadiate and many did not want to leave the city. They had no way of providing for themselves and so we had "Charity" or Christian Love not socialism as it is understood. Socialism, like Communism, puts the state at the center of the universe, above man and a diminishing God. God Bless....Jensen |
