81 | Christian Ecology | Gen 1:28 | Scribe | 63520 | ||
Fennis Dake made much about the word "replenish" insisting that the earth had been populated between Gen 1:1 and 1:2. I do not agree but why is the word Replenish used here if the world is new? | ||||||

86 | being clean escaped | 2 Pet 2:20 | Scribe | 63515 | ||
These scriptures you have given are very encouraging. Thank You. I am in need of keeping these before me everyday. The battle rages and the stakes are eternal. I know I have a promise He will perfect that which concerns me, and complete the work He started, but I fear the Lord too much to allow that to make me light and flippant about the strategies of satan against me, my family, and my fellow saints. | ||||||
87 | made partakers | Heb 6:4 | Scribe | 63514 | ||
It is a good warning, and Peter was careful to remind the saints to be sober and vigilant. I am much encouraged by the clear instructions Peter gives on how we can be 100 perecent sure we will not fall. 2 Peter 1:5-11 And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins. Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall: For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. |

88 | Should women be allowed to preach? | Galatians | Scribe | 63368 | ||
One comment I have on this response. Can you help me understand where people get the idea that Preaching the Word of God is ONLY done by "PASTORS,DEACONS,ELDERS"? I agree that a woman should not usurp authority over a man. I think the confusion comes when we think that one must hold the office of "PASTORS,DEACONS,ELDERS" to preach the Word. My post was not that a woman should be a "PASTORS,DEACONS,ELDERS" but that a woman can preach the Word. Also we know from Acts 15 a woman can prophesy. I appreciate your desire to not add to the word, therefore we must not add to the word to say that these women did anything wrong. Therefore if a woman can prophesy then we must decide what the definition of prophesy is. And if it is the gift of prophetic utterance as a spiritual gift in the church it is speaking in the church, if it is pulpit preaching as so many believe that do not hold to charismatic views, then we must conclude that women can preach in the pulpit. Either way whether it is pulpit preaching or if it is prophesy as a spiritual gift during the service neither one requires that the woman be a Pastor. God Bless you as you study the word with all honesty and humility before the God. |

89 | biblical reason for todays mondern toung | 1 Cor 1:7 | Scribe | 63320 | ||
PART TWO 2) another possibility would be that these mockers these “others” than the ones that did hear their own languages, did not understand the language, because they were not from the country of the language being spoken, and so instead of understanding that Peter was speaking in Egyptian they though Peter was just babbling meaningless words. This would of course give them reason to say “they are drunk.” And on this note, some have said that Peter and the apostles were addressing the crowd as in a preaching mode, and they were speaking to them in their own language. The text says they were speaking of the wonderful works of God. Comparing this passage to the others in Acts it would seem they were praising God and in a state of addressing God not the people but that we can take up another time, suffice it to say for now that if they addressing the people in a preaching style of body language (looking at the people and declaring the wonderful works of God to them) and speaking in their own language and a group came up and heard them speaking in this manner, calling them drunk would not fit and would rather make the mockers appear drunk it is so out of context with the scene. Just because the mockers could not understand the language, it would not have been a sight that would make them think the speaker was drunk. Certainly they had heard others in this international time of holiday speaking to groups in languages other than the mockers understood. Did they go about calling anyone they heard speaking in a language they did not understand “drunk?” and if they did would not the mockers be the ones people would say were drunk. No it would fit much better if we understood that the mockers not only did not understand the language being spoken but that they saw that the disciples were speaking this tongue to the heaven lies in praise to God. Then it would fit as they would think this display of emotionalism to be that of those filled with too much new wine. 3) And we have not yet exhausted this idea of why the mockers did not understand the language if that be the case. a) either the mockers did not understand the language and they saw the emotionalism of praising God with unknown tongues and called the men drunk, or b) he mockers heard the language understood it and yet called them drunk because they were saying things that they did not agree with on a religious basis. This does not seem to fit either. We know that Paul and Jesus were accused of being mad by those that did not agree with their theology, but they did not associate it with being drunk. To be drunk one looses their coherent senses so that they do not do well in constructing sentences and one thing that normally gives away a drunk man is the fact that you notice that he is not making sense. It seems far more logical that the reason they were mocking was because the disciples were showing emotionalism of Praising God maybe with hands uplifted which was a common method of the Jew and that they were loudly praising God .. and these mockers not understanding the language said they were beside themselves with emotionalism because they were drunk even to the point of pretending they could speak in a language they did not know. c) If the mockers could not understand the language. Then the question must be asked Why not? 16 or 17 nations were mentioned, were these mockers of a nation that was excluded from the Grace of God? That could not be since the message was to go out to all the world. Were these individuals of a nation that was mentioned but the miracle did not occur on their ears? Was this due to some predestined plan of God that these particular men should not get the chance to understand the message? NOW READ CAREFULLY… If these mockers were of a nation that was listed, but they did not understand the language so that they accused the disciples of babbling and being drunk.. Could it be that the speaking in tongues by the disciples might sound as a known language to one hearer and as vain babbling to the next? Looking at this passage only for biblical evidence that the speaking in tongues was not always a known language to those that heard is clear by this text. |

90 | Is "Revival" A Biblical Concept? | Ps 85:6 | Scribe | 56062 | ||
It is probably a post book of Acts concept since the book of Acts is the ideal (inspite of the imperfections) we would not read of a need for a revival until we get to Revelation chapters 2-3 then we see Jesus calling the church to return to their first love (even if that applied only to the church of Ephesus, we still see that there was a call to return on a local assembly level) So if we are speaking of a local church being called to repent and return to what they once learned and knew then yes it is biblical. |

91 | What do the 120 years pertain to? | Gen 6:3 | Scribe | 56053 | ||
Have you looked this up in commentaries and in other versions? I doubt you will find a commentary that states this had to do with lifespan of men. Not only does the context demonstrate that God was giving men 120 years to repent, but the time frame until the flood came also backs this up. The age of men after has at times seemed to be about 140 years in some cases but for many thousands of years the age David gave of men being allowed to live about 80 years seems to be what God established this side of the flood. Psalms 90:10 The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. I just did a brief look up in about 5 commentaries and they all said that the 120 years hear in Gen was in reference to 120 years until he would bring the flood to judge them. Not sure where the idea that it was a statement regarding lifespans came from, I never thought that when I read it the first time. Though I have heard others that thought that. I guess it sounds more like that from the KJV which is my favorite so it might have been "preached" around through the years as being somekind of declaration of lifespan by those who read it wrong. |

94 | Dreans, and Angels? | Heb 1:14 | Scribe | 55189 | ||
continued from previous post..... One thing that these dreams do is to help guide you in those specific ways that help you in your own personnal battle against the strategies of satan that are being launched against you and your ministry. We are all different and one persons battle differs from another. God knows what you are facing and will face, where your weaknesses are and what you need to be working to strengthen. So everything you need for life and godliness are contained in the Word, God will use a dream to drive home a specific promise or truth from His word that you need. Consider these God given dreams as sermon from God to you always using the written word truths to instruct you but specifically something that is urgent in your life to get a grasp on. Sometimes these dreams will have to do with more people and speak of a bigger picture than your life only. God will and does give dreams that relate to world events and prophecy and these type of dreams are more common among leadership whose lives effect more people and whos decisions effect more people. There is much to say about dreams than what is usually said. I have gone to long to comment on angels. :) |

95 | can women be pastors | Bible general Archive 1 | Scribe | 55054 | ||
Interesting. I have many great writings from God gifted women who have written doctrinal truths from the Word down through church history. Seems that when I read it, I am getting taught and they are women and I am a man. I guess the Lord can't be put in a box. Praise God for that. | ||||||
96 | can women be pastors | Bible general Archive 1 | Scribe | 55053 | ||
I think I follow the pattern of Christ in my question in the exact same spirit of his question...Luke 14:5 And answered them, saying, Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fallen into a pit, and will not straightway pull him out on the sabbath day? Or WHAT IF YOU HAVE A OX fall into a ditch on the sabbath? Yes the scripture says not to use the OX on the sabbath but you in your heart know that God is not against you getting that OX out of that ditch even though some legalist could preach a perfect sermon using the scriptures to back him up that you must not do it." Yet you know that my "what if about ministry work by women is real, it happens all over the world, and they will be blessed if they ignore condemnation from modern "pharisees" who strain at a gnat and swallow a camel in not seeing the heart message of Paul which is not that woman cannot minister the Gospel in all the gifts of God but that she should not pridefully challenge a man's authority. The context that a woman should not teach was not "a woman should not Preach and teach the word" but rather "a woman should not teach a man or in other words usurp authority over a man, or in other words, question him in a challenging dishonest way not wanting answers but wanting to provoke, and she should be humble and kind and respect her husband. This passage people love to use does not say she should not teach the bible. The words "teach, nor usurp authority" go to gether they explain each other, the teach here means to teach down at a man such as scold him as a child. has nothing to do with teaching the Bible in church or anywhere else. But this has been so misquoted it is hard for anyone to read only what it says without fitting their own words in the sentence. I do so now just to make it clear that it did not say a woman cannot preach the word. | ||||||
97 | Can a person push God too far?? | Luke | Scribe | 55047 | ||
I am not sure what you mean to say by this. I often wonder exactly what my baptist friends mean (not saying you are baptist) when they say similar statments. I am not posting this to argue or debate or to criticise you. I think you love the Lord, know the Lord and walk with God. I do not accuse you of any kind of heresy. Maybe you refer to New Testament teachings.. Jeremiah 3:8 And I saw, when for all the causes whereby backsliding Israel committed adultery I had put her away, and given her a bill of divorce; yet her treacherous sister Judah feared not, but went and played the harlot also. There are numerous references to backsliding in the OT and always that I can tell they refer to Israel. The Israel God made a covenant with. The Israel God said he was married to. Of all the arguements that can be used to enforce the idea that a born again Christian can never be rejected by God the same arguments can be used about Israel. When someone says, Can God stop calling you a son if He is your Father? so also one could say Did God stop calling Israel His Wife if she would not repent? The opposing view about whether a born again person can backslide and be lost or whether he can't if presented by two true brothers on opposite sides of the issue usually are saying the same things. The one that says a person who lives in open sinful lusts of the flesh and does not turn from them or make some genuine effort at repenting is not going to heaven even if he says he has been born again is most often agreed upon by the brother who says that indeed such a person is not going to heaven, but not becuase he was born again and fell, but becuase he was never saved, for a saved person cannot live that way. The one that says a person living in open rebellion or secret sins will not inherit the kingdom of heave agrees with the one that say he must not be saved at all because the holy brother knows what misery he feels when or if he falls into sin and cannot comprehend how anyone could endure a week of living without the full confidence that all things are right between himself and God through being covered by the blood by faith and walking a holy walk of faith and being quick to repent. So what both sides are really saying is.. the saved person walks in holiness and if he fails he repents and the unsaved person lives a careless existence taking no thought for the wrath to come. |

98 | let us not sleep, but watch. | 1 Thess 5:6 | Scribe | 54830 | ||
Also as a follow up, we know from numerous other passages that to watch is to pray. So we are told that if we find we are falling asleep we should start increasing our prayer life, if we see others falling asleep, tell them to increase their prayer life. | ||||||
99 | let us not sleep, but watch. | 1 Thess 5:6 | Scribe | 54829 | ||
When I read this passage in context I cannot escape the idea that he is saying live a life so that if the dreadful day comes upon us suddenly today, you will not be found in sin and as such unprepared. So if living holy and in faith (which are inseperable) or being awake and ready by living holy as if it could come today, then I will be blessed and not suffer the wrath of God, however if I were to fall asleep (as many are doing) and live in sin I will not be ready and that day will come upon me as it will all the children of disobedience. Does this teach whether we will go through the 7 year time of tribulation? I dont think it mentions that here, it does teach that the one awake will not suffer wrath , but the one asleep will. | ||||||
100 | How do you interpret this verse? | 1 Cor 14:2 | Scribe | 53964 | ||
If we read this passage in context we read that to pray in tongues edifies oneself, how when there is an interpreter? No for if there is an interpreter the whole church is edified, therefor the type of speaking in tongues here that edifies oneself is the type that prays to himself and to God. Or if there be no interpreter let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God. Now if a man is speaking to God, it is not a pagan ritual and if a man is speaking to God it is indeed edifying to himself. To edify yourself by praying is not a sin but a necessity for christian growth and strength. To edify ones self is not mentioned here as something he should not do but simply a statement of fact. To speak to God in tongues silently (not literaly silent as if in thought only but silent as in not loudly as if you would have the floor and want all people to be quiet a moment and listen to you which would be the opposite of a private communion, howbeit, the "silent" speaking between you and God may and would most likely be audible as I know no other way a saint in Acts could have "spoken in tongues"), therefore to speak silently in tongues between you and God is an edifying experience for you and this is a positive thing, and of course one needs such edifying spiritual exercises such as prayer and fastings, singing to "himself" in songs and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in his heart to the Lord (which in the case of singing to himself has nothing to do with public church singing to edify the body of Christ either, and yet we are encouraged to do so as a means of being filled with the Spirit (Eph 5:15) Paul lets us know in I Corinthians that to pray only to ourselves and to God though it does indeed edify ourselves which we need, this does not edify the body in the public fellowship therefore he does not say, "so quit praying in tongues and strike it from your Bibles" No he says, pray that you may interpret, so that you can give forth the interpretation of the Holy Spirit inspired tongue that the whole church may hear your interpretation and be edified. Not that the tongue or the interpretation is to be handled as the written Word in respect to inspiration but understanding that the gift is working through us by faith and we are getting across to the Body Scripturally based truths from the heart of God that are relative to that Local assembly for that moment. A word in season if you will. Sometimes the body of Christ needs a specific word of edification as it relates to their own issues and God is faithful to do this if we are open to let Him. |
