81 | Is civil disobedience OK when... | Prov 3:13 | Asis | 104861 | ||
When man's law contradicts God's commandments and laws we have an obligation to stand up for Him. All authority comes from God but God's authority is above all other. If the two come into conflict our choice is clear. It is however our reaction to the authorities after we disobey man's law that is the difference between those who are disciples and those who are not. If a law was passed prohibiting the making of disciples of Jesus. We would have to disobey that law. We have a command from a higher authority which must be followed. However when caught we would not fight but proclaim the higher authority and take the consequences whatever they may be. | ||||||
82 | Spirit or spirit? John 6:63 | Prov 5:21 | Asis | 100988 | ||
Ray John 6:63 must be taken in context with John 6:52-62. But first let us look at the the other verses on your post. Proverbs 3:6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. [KJV] I used to think that this verse meant that anything that I did I was supposed to say, “it wasn’t me it was God. He did it not me.” Then God revealed that it was my life that was to acknowledge Him. “All my ways” was my life. When all I do reveals God by my life that all my goings and doings would be directed by Him. When that is the case willo any of my goings and doings fail? Proverbs 5:21 For the ways of man are before the eyes of the Lord, and he pondereth all his goings. [KJV] Proverbs 15:3-9 The eyes of the Lord are in every place, beholding the evil and the good. [4] A wholesome tongue is a tree of life: but perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit. [5] A fool despiseth his father's instruction: but he that regardeth reproof is prudent. [6] In the house of the righteous is much treasure: but in the revenues of the wicked is trouble. [7] The lips of the wise disperse knowledge: but the heart of the foolish doeth not so. [8] The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord: but the prayer of the upright is his delight. [9] The way of the wicked is an abomination unto the Lord: but he loveth him that followeth after righteousness. [KJV] I think these two go together. God and His word are one. Therfore what is said about one is also talking about the other. Heb. 4:12 through Heb. 4:13 (NASB) 12For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart. 13And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are open and laid bare to the eyes of Him with whom we have to do. GOD KNOWS ALL. We can hide nothing from Him. In fact it is a little absurd that we would think that we can keep God from knowing something we think or have done. We cannot keep the condition of our heart from God. He knows our spirit (character). Out of the abundance of our heart the mouth speaks. That is how we know anothers heart. Eccles. 9:1 For all this I considered in my heart even to declare all this, that the righteous, and the wise, and their works, are in the hand of God: no man knoweth either love or hatred by all that is before them. [KJV] God is in everything. There is nothing that is done that He is not in. I didn’t say causes, I said in. Until man knows God he really doesn’t know anything. All that comes from man is temporal. That which is temporal with fade away and is hence not real. What we know from God and of God is eternal and will never fade away. That is what is real. If we don’t know this we know nothing. The real is the spiritual. Jesus says that until we are able to unite with him (eat his flesh and drink his blood; a hebrew figure of speech) we will not understand. The Spirit of God gives life. What I say cannot be understood by the mental, by the worldly. Your character will not profit you until you are united with me and your spirit is given life. Then you will understand spiritual things. God makes the wise things of the world foolishness. His stuff is much better than our stuff. Get out of God’s way your mind and will is keeping Him from completing, perfecting His work in you. I hope this finds you well Asis |

83 | Spirit or spirit? John 6:63 | Prov 5:21 | Asis | 101016 | ||
mommapbs We indeed need a spiritual understanding to realize that everything that comes our way is used to bring us to believe God. If I "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. [6] In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. [7] Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord, and depart from evil. [8] It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones. [9] Honour the Lord with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase: [10] So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine."Proverbs 3:5-10 [KJV] then I don't think it is failure God has in mind for us/me. We should not be trying to figure out what God is doing in our lives, but rather letting God do what He wants. I don't want to know God in my humanness rather I want to know him in my spirit man, my inner man, be a spiritual man. As I know Him this way then I can let go and let God. When I let God He gives us the eternal perspective. Your brother Jeff |

Ray I stand with my capitalization of the word spirit. The Spirit of God , the Holy Spirit quickens our spirit. Then we can discern, understand spiritual things. Everything I wrote after Jesus says is what Jesus says, my paraphrase. Have you thought about the book I mentioned Word Study on the Holy Spirit by Bullinger. My friend from IL sent me my copy. It is interesting. I will read the string and join in thank you for asking. Asis |

85 | God's children do revolt | Is 1:2 | Asis | 80424 | ||
Since I am a Messianic Jew and know of many conversions occurring in Israel as I write I would have to say that Romans 11:23 is being fulfilled Now. | ||||||
86 | God's children do revolt | Is 1:2 | Asis | 80481 | ||
The point is they will be grafted in and are welcomed by God now. We must be careful with what we teach and say to those babes in the faith NO ONE IS EXCLUDED even those who have turned their backs on God's Messiah. In fact we should be grateful that the Jews play the harlot for it is by their rejection of Messiah that the offer of salvation has been given to the non Jew, the gentile. God has made a perfect plan and we spend so much time trying to figure it out rather than resting in the reality that He is in control. It is more important to get right with God than to figure out the day and the time. I'm not down playing the study of scripture particularly the Old Testament. It proves the faithfulness of God. It is a lesson for the Jews to see their error and more and more they are having the veil lifted from their eyes. We are in a time where God is offering to all who will believe to become a Jew, a believer in Jehovah. | ||||||
87 | God's children do revolt | Is 1:2 | Asis | 80587 | ||
Hello CDJB Let me thank you for your response to what I wrote. It has caused me to think about the times. Times are coming to a close. Not all prophecy is fulfilled with the snap of God's fingers. Jesus fulfilled Is 61 in part and we fulfill it in part. Don't the conversions of many Jews fulfill what is spoken of in Romans 11:25-26. Are we being blinded so we cannot see the move of God? I cannot prove by scripture what I said. 2 Cor. 3:6 Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life. We must be careful not to miss the spirit of the word and only live by the letter. It can be very easy to become legalistic and miss the spirit behind the word of God. Is the time of the Gentile coming to an end - Yes. Is Israel being restored by the Jew beleiving - Yes. Will Christ return Now - I hope so, could be, not for us to know. Are we ready? God will judge but my prayer is we are. 2 Cor. 3:14 But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ. The veil (vail) has been removed from my eyes and many other Jews. God calls on all of us to come to Him. |

I will look for the book. I enjoyed you poem. Might I recommend a pamphlet called "The Messiah in both Testaments", by Fred John Meldau. If you would like I could Email you a copy. It has a tremendous amount of information. I would also like to recommend a web site www.whatsaiththescripture.com Look up voices of Philedelphia - A T Pierson - In Christ. It has some very good stuff. Once again I thqnk you for your comments and you poetry. | ||||||
89 | Please, a straight answer!!! | Is 53:5 | Asis | 84703 | ||
Hank are you saying that Jesus' instructions to the disciples (and I think I am included) were not for now but only for the short time that the 12 were alive. Mark 16:15-18 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. [16] He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. [17] And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; [18] They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. [KJV] It seems to me that the "they" are the "them that believe". If it is "them that believe" then that is us. Are you saying that Jesus didn't mean what he said? Or are "them that believe" only the 12. Isaiah 53:4-5 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. [5] But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. [KJV] In verse 4 the word "grief" is sickness, maladay, calamity according to Strong. In Isaiah 1:5 the Hebrew word choliy (the same word translated grief in 53;4), is translated "sickness", also in Isaih 38:9. I guess I'm not following your connection that the word translated grief, which means sickness, is about spiritual healing and not physical, and that God does not heal today like He healed in the days the 12 were alive. The reason for my confusion is that God touched me after my last heart attack and healed my heart. I admit that Benny Hin was not in the room at the time and I was not dressed all in white, but the same God was in my room that was in the arena with Benny Hinn when my wife was touched by God. I have experienced the work of the Holy Spirit as outlined in 1 Corinthians 12:9. Could you explain your exegesis. Brother Jeff |

90 | Sealed deed vs open deed? | Jer 32:14 | Asis | 87020 | ||
This is the secular version. In the time of Jeremiah two deeds were written. One was placed in a jar and sealed to keep it from decay. It was usually buried on the property. The other was left "open" for all to see and to use day to day. If it was destroyed or ruined than the sealed one was available to take its place. Kind of like a safe deposit box. Paraphrased from C.F. KEIL and F. DELITZSCH commentary on Jeremiah. Spiritually Eph 1:13 ???????????? |

95 | What does "the kingdom of God is at hand | Matthew | Asis | 81681 | ||
This is the gospel that Jesus preached. Matthew 4:23 (NIV) 23Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the good news of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness among the people. It was why He was sent. Luke 4:42 through Luke 4:44 (KJV) 42And when it was day, he departed and went into a desert place: and the people sought him, and came unto him, and stayed him, that he should not depart from them. 43And he said unto them, I must preach the kingdom of God to other cities also: for therefore am I sent. 44And he preached in the synagogues of Galilee. Jesus' life exemplified Kingdom living. If we want to know what Kingdom life is, all we have to do is look at the life opf Jesus. He tells how we are to BE in the Kingdom in the "Be Attitudes". Jesus said He is the door. The door into the kingdom. No one cane see the kingdom unless they be born again. He told us to first seek His kingdom (Matt. 6:33). We need only read the New Testament to know the secrets of the Kingdom. Matthew 13:11 through Matthew 13:12 (NIV) 11He replied, “The knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them. 12Whoever has will be given more, and he will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken from him. We are in the Kingdom NOW. Colossians 1:13 through Colossians 1:14 (NIV) 13For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, 14in whom we have redemption,£ the forgiveness of sins. There is much, much more. Matthew 24:14 (NASB) 14“This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come. |

I'm sure there are many opinions about your question. We will know the answer when we get there. In the mean time we must make a personal decision to become disciples of Jesus not merely followers. After reading the following verses, it became my desire to never hear these words from Jesus. The Holy Bible, American Standard Version Matt. 7:21 through Matt. 7:23 (ASV) 21Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy by thy name, and by thy name cast out demons, and by thy name do many mighty works? 23And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. My life became a quest for improving the relationship with Him. I wanted to know him more intimately that I know my wife. This is how it should be with all believers. I don't have a religion. I have a relationship. I do not strive to follow the word, I allow the word to wash me, to renew me, and the power of God within me to guide me and I find I am living the word of God. |

Where do we live? in the Old or in the new. The Israelites had to work to attain righteousness. They were on their own. God watched over them and sent Prophets to guide them however it was up to them to DO the Law. But now we have a Savior who has done what was required to attain right standing with God. He has imparted to us His Holy Spirit to guide, instruct, and comfort us. Through His Spirit and the work of the Cross our flesh is dead. We have only to choose to follow God and live in the promised land. | ||||||
