81 | What about so-called revelation knowledg | Bible general Archive 1 | inmyheart | 83321 | ||
Justme You stated to Imf, "I believe God wants me to be a wise steward, and live simply. We strive to be simple and with that there is a joy and an abundance of all we need. I keep saying this but it bares repeating, there is a big difference in needs and wants." Simply saying, it not about striving to be simple, so that we can have joy and abundance of all we need, how about the needs of others? If we are going to extend our hands to others in need, don't you agree we need more than enough? I'm not speaking of being greedy, we need the wisdom of God to handle the wealth of God! My point is, God has His people in the valley's and at the top of the hill, but we all have a higher standard of living, than those of the world. "Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen. Eph.3:20-21 (NIV) |

Debbie, Thank you for your comments. I believe the majority of us have struggled with this and Romans 12:2 refers to renewing our minds, but as our minds are being renewed this is what we are to think on: Phl. 4:8, Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things [are] honest, whatsoever things [are] just, whatsoever things [are] pure, whatsoever things [are] lovely, whatsoever things [are] of good report; if [there be] any virtue, and if [there be] any praise, think on these things. God bless you |

Hi Sam, am I missing something here. I mean are we to look to God for our healing or to man? Does it matter if God uses Benny Hinn (I only use his name here because its posted), or let's say, 2nd Samuel 22:29, for healing. I don't believe Benny or anyone for that matter, can heal a flea :), only God. Your last statement (Rev.13:14), Do you think Benny is encouraging people to make an image to the beast? My line of thought here is (remember I'm not siding w/Benny) can we make statements, or is it even safe to proclaim a person to be a false prophet? "Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God" 1John 4:2. I have listened to Benny Hinn, and he has confessed Jesus as Lord and Savior. I would really like to know what is behind the scenes here concerning Benny Hinn, If this will cause any strife or bitterness, I'll understand if you don't reply, ok. Thank you Sam, God Blessings |

Sam, Once again thank you for your response. You say nobody gets slapped on the head and jumps out of a wheelchair, then what is the proper way? I'm saying that when Jesus healed the blind man by putting mud on his eyes, well that sounds a little strange to me, how about you? Or when Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead by calling out his name, why didn't He simply go in and grab hold of Lazarus? You see these are somethings that I look at. When the Word say that Gods way are Higher than ours, I look at it,that there is somethings we will never understand, so if a person gets slapped on the head :) or gently gets raised from that chair, what difference does it make, God gets the Glory! Now about the money issue, sure I agree, what is money to God anyway! The saints sent money to Paul also,and he didn't have a T.V. program :) Our finances should go to our local church or fellowship, if people want to send their money to God's people on T.V. as an offering of their love then I see no harm thank my friend Sam, May God continue to use you for His Glory! |

It is written, Lk 7:29,30-AND ALL THE PEOPLE THAT HEARD HIM, AND THE PUBLICANS, JUSTIFIED GOD (or acknowledged God’s justice, or God’s way was right), BEING BAPTIZED WITH THE BAPTISM OF JOHN. BUT THE PHARISEES AND LAWYERS REJECTED THE COUNSEL OF GOD (or God’s purpose or God’s plan) AGAINST THEMSELVES, BEING NOT BAPTIZED OF HIM. |

Greetings Charis, In Eph 2:8 we are told, FOR BY GRACE ARE YE SAVED THROUGH FAITH; AND THAT NOT OF YOURSELVES: IT IS THE GIFT OF GOD. Gal 3:2-RECEIVED YE THE SPIRIT BY THE WORKS OF THE LAW, OR BY THE HEARING OF FAITH? Gal 3:14-THAT THE BLESSING OF ABRAHAM MIGHT COME ON THE GENTILES THROUGH JESUS CHRIST; THAT WE MIGHT RECEIVE THE PROMISE OF THE SPIRIT THROUGH FAITH. Eph 3:17-THAT CHRIST MAY DWELL IN YOUR HEARTS BY FAITH. We are saved by faith. Does this mean we are saved by faith without repentance? Not at all. We must repent of our sins, or there is no salvation. For it is written, EXCEPT YE REPENT, YE SHALL ALL LIKEWISE PERISH-Lk 13:3. Does this mean that we are saved by faith only, and we never need to confess Jesus publicly? Not at all. We should confess that Jesus is (the only Hope) of our salvation to everyone that asks us. If we are ashamed of Jesus, He will be ashamed of us at the judgment. So we may ask, "What about baptism?" I believe when a person is lead to the Lord, that baptism be included, not excluded. And if it's not possible to be baptized at that time, then at the earliest time avaiable. God bless, may you continue to be an extention of God's hand to the people in the land you live in. |

Greetings Charis, We have already seen that believing on Jesus is an absolute essential for salvation. We have already seen that repentance is an absolute essential for salvation. Now the question, "What about water baptism?" There is much debate on this subject. One of the main subjects to be considered in this discussion is that salvation is through faith in Jesus Christ "apart from all works." This statement is absolutely true. It is written, Eph 2:8,9-FOR BY GRACE ARE YE SAVED THROUGH FAITH; AND THAT NOT OF YOURSELVES: IT IS THE GIFT OF GOD: NOT OF WORKS, LEST ANY MAN SHOULD BOAST. Now the questions arise: "Is calling on the name of the Lord classified as works?" "Is repentance classified as works?" "Is water baptism classified as works?" The answer to all three of these questions is no. No where in the Bible is calling on Jesus, repentance, water baptism, or reading the Bible classified as a form of works. Those that relate these things to works or the works of the Law appear to be greatly misled. One might say that repentance can certainly be very hard work, or very difficult. There are certain things or areas in each of our lives where the flesh does not want to repent, but never does the Bible classify repentance as works. It is the same for baptism. Water baptism is a command for all that repent and believe. It is not classified as "works." Hearing or reading the Bible might be considered as work or a chore by some, yet it is never classified as "works" in relation to working or earning your way into heaven. We need to hear and read God’s Word to learn more about God. Faith comes by hearing God’s Word. Thank you for your response, I have enjoyed your postings. God bless! |

Why Does God Let Innocent People Suffer? This is the most frequently asked question concerning God. If God is loving, why do evil people flourish and innocent people perish? Why does God not step in to help, deliver, and save? Millions of people died in World War II. Many innocent people are still dying all around the world today in war and in peace. Babies are born impaired. Children become crippled. Adults become paralyzed. Old people become invalids. There is senseless killing, lying, cheating, stealing, and robbing between and within nations and ethnic groups, in "bad neighborhoods" and "good neighborhoods," and in families. Who are the victims? Mostly the innocent - the children, the aged, and the nice people. Where is God? Is He not a loving God? Did He not create man? Why does He not help? Why does He let it happen? Isn't He in control? We need to go back to the beginning to see why things are the way they are and if there is a solution to this problem that all humanity faces. The Battle of Two Kingdoms The Bible tells us that before man was created, Lucifer, the archangel who was the ruler over the earth, had rebelled against God and become God's enemy, Satan. The earth had become the kingdom of Satan. Then there was a struggle between the two kingdoms - God's and Satan's. Man is to Express God and Rule for God Man was made by God in His image to express God and rule for God. To express God is to love as God loves, be righteous as God is righteous, and so on. God has many divine attributes, and man was created with the corresponding human virtues. Man is supposed to live a life that expresses God's divine attributes through his human virtues. To rule for God is to be God's deputy authority, king of the earth, to overthrow and replace Satan and to bring in God's kingdom of love and righteousness. Man was created perfectly. He would not get sick or die. God provided everything that man would need to live, to express God, and to rule for God. For man's physical existence, God gave man air, water, food, and sunshine. To make the environment pleasant for man, God made trees, flowers, and grass. To make the earth a lively place, God made the animals. For man to fulfill his function - expressing God and ruling for God - God made a spirit within man and set man before the tree of life. The tree of life signifies God becoming life to man. If man would take God into his spirit by eating the tree of life, man would have God as life and be able to express God and to rule for God. The Greatest Tragedy of the Universe Although God's intention would have been fulfilled if man ate from the tree of life, God still allowed man to choose between Him and Satan - signified by the tree of knowledge. Satan came in disguise, in trickery, and deceived man by making the tree of knowledge seem very pleasant. Man chose the tree of knowledge. Instead of God's life, man received the satanic life into himself, resulting in sin, evil, and death. The satanic life has been growing in man for the last six thousand years. Because man took in Satan's life, man is under the control of the satanic nature inwardly as well as the authority of Satan outwardly. The Bible calls Satan "the god of this age." Man is blinded by him. Man is lying in the hand of this evil one and is unconscious of what the evil one is doing to and in him. Satan's desire is to ruin and kill man. The real and living God created man, but the god of this age got into man. The universal tragedy is that the very man who was to be king living in God's kingdom has become a slave dying in Satan's kingdom. Satan is destroying the man God created, so that the condition today is not God's original intention. continued----------- |

Pt. 2 (con't) God's Way of Saving Man from Suffering God loved man and still wanted to save man from suffering back to Himself. However, even He had to acknowledge the authority which had been set up. It would have been unrighteous for God to remove this deputy authority without the proper procedure. Also, without the preparation of a proper replacement, there would be a big chaos. With this in view, He took some definite steps to bring about the defeat of Satan and to bring in His own kingdom. First, He came to earth as a man named Jesus Christ 2000 years ago. He as a man set up a pattern for us, showing us how man may love one another and be righteous by God's life. Although He acknowledged the authority of Satan over the earth and was subject to his ruling outwardly, He did not succumb to Satan's temptations. He was the one-man kingdom of God. Satan had nothing in Him. Jesus did not have the satanic nature; therefore He was inwardly free from the tyranny of Satan. Yet He did not as a single man take back the earth. This job requires many of us to join Him. For this He died to pay a ransom for all mankind in order to redeem them from God's righteous judgment of sin and resurrected to be man's life. Now the way has been reopened for man to take God in as life and express and rule for God, to become just like Him and together to defeat His enemy and bring in His kingdom. All this happened 2000 years ago, yet most people have not heard about or received this good news. The world is still in chaos because so many are under Satan's deception and control to resist God and live by the sinful nature. The Way to Stop All Suffering If you want to get out of this chaos, and save the world from Satan's kingdom, you need to save yourself first by receiving God into you through calling on His name. Then He will start the process of salvation inside of you. At the same time, you need to spread the good news abroad to your acquaintances. When enough people on earth are filled up with the God of love and righteousness, the kingdom of God will be brought in. People will be living in peace, loving one another. There will be no more robbing nor senseless killing. All forms of evil will be removed from the earth. Would you like to see this in your lifetime? What should you do? You may turn from Satan's kingdom of darkness to God's kingdom of light, from Satan's authority of death to God's authority of life. Say to God, "Lord Jesus, come into me. Deliver me from Satan's kingdom into Your kingdom. Forgive me of all that I did under the tyranny of Satan. Save me now." You will become a part of what God is doing in man to end all the suffering in the world and to bring His kingdom to the earth. I pray this information has inspired you. God bless. |

confusing, The Word of God says in 1 Corinthians 1:18; "For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God." (KJV) This tells me that no matter how or what I thought of God before I was saved, was of no value. Whether it was the Old Testament of Law or the New Testament of grace, God has spoken. That in itself is an astounding and humbling reality. God was not obligated to speak. He was not our debtor. Man surely did not deserve a word from heaven. After all, we were sinful, disobedient, and at enmity with God. The Old Testament, God speaks of "My people perish for lack of knowledge," you my friend need to know God, so you can understand the wisdom of God. Don't delay, it's up to you. Nothing more has to be said. God bless |

97 | Is the request of Christ Granted? | NT general Archive 1 | inmyheart | 70681 | ||
"How can anyone assert hell is empty?" one may ask. Scripture is full of declarations that people who commit particular sins will not go to heaven (e.g., I Cor. 6:9-10). Since some people unquestionably practice the sins mentioned until their dying day, how could hell be empty? Most fundamentally, the idea that we may hope that hell is empty is against the teaching of Scripture. Even if one were to write off all of Scripture's warnings about hell as purely hypothetical, Scripture directly asserts that many will not be saved. In Luke's Gospel, Jesus is asked, "Lord, will those who are saved be few?" He replies by stating, "Strive to enter by the narrow door; for many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able" (Luke 13:23-24). Given the question that prompts it, Jesus' answer cannot be interpreted to mean anything other than that many will not be saved. There is nothing conditional about the question or Jesus' answer. He does not say, "If someone does this then he will be damned" or "Anyone who does this will be damned." He says that there are many who fail to enter—and the context is salvation. The same is indicated elsewhere in the Gospels, such as when Jesus tells us that on the last day "many will say to me, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?' And then will I declare to them, I never knew you; depart from me, you evildoers'" (Matt. 7:22-23). Again, none of this is hypothetical. Jesus says "many will" be cast away from him. Finally, although the Church does not teach that any particular individual is in hell, "I believe that Scripture indicates that Judas Iscariot is in hell". (I acknowledge that other orthodox commentators may disagree on this point.) Jesus says, "The Son of man goes as it is written of him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! It would have been better for that man if he had .not been born" (Matt. 26:24). If Judas ended up in heaven rather than hell, it would be difficult to see how it would have been better for him not to have been born. Going through any amount of temporal pain and disgrace is not worth comparing to the joys of heaven (Rom, 8:18), and, if Judas went to heaven, matters still came out infinitely to his benefit. Only if Judas went to hell, it seems to me, would it have been better for him not to have been born. While most Christians know the goodness of God when they became Christians, the later discovery of the severity of God can come as a shock. God bless |
