81 | Denounce militant Islam? | Matt 5:44 | Glory Bound | 131549 | ||
But Tim... "Why are Christians so scared to denounce militant Islam?" Why do we not take the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation, the sword and the breastplate of righteousness and "denounce militant Islam?" For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him. 1Th 5:9 -10 How can we not care for the souls of the countless thousands who are so misled by such as the Quran? Not to mention its slanderous attack on the very foundation of Christianity, Jesus Christ Himself? I purchased a Quran only to see for myself what it says concerning our Savior. After a quick word search of the name Jesus, I did not have to read very far before I realized that I didn’t need to read any farther. Personally, after having only read a minute portion of the Quran, though I do love the followers, I detest the book. It is a true work of Satan. I cannot understand how anyone who has ever read that book does not understand the bigotry, hatred and murder it spawns against all who believe contrary or see the truth of its origin. Is it only our inheritance with which we are to be concerned, or should we not sew and defend the truth of THE WORD, that the harvest might be more plentiful? Should we not “fight the good fight” where the Islamic faith itself is concerned? GB |

82 | Traditional answer? | 1 Pet 4:6 | Glory Bound | 131547 | ||
Those refered in this passage as "those who are dead," are the non believers. They are dead in their sin. Those who have not accepted Jesus Christs Gift of salvation are "the walking dead." Sadly, they simply haven't realized or accepted it yet. GB |

THE True Church? Catholic?!?! Would THE True Church not be the Church founded by the Apostles? Was that Church Catholic, Protestant or Jewish? I doubt that it was either. It was CHRISTian. Christ centered. I would attest that whatever the Church, be it Catholic, Protestant, Jewish or Full Gospel, if Christ is its foundation, then it is THE true Church. What I fail to understand is why this simple fact is not understood by all. In this day of apostasy, false prophesy and false teachers, it is apparent that it is not the true Church, which is in question. The question should concern the sincerity and familiarity with THE WORD of those who profess. Isn’t the Church a collective body of Christians, or of those who profess to believe in Christ, and acknowledge him to be the Savior of mankind? Aren’t the professors (those who profess to be Christians) the Church? I would put all in mind of what Christ stated in John 15:5 “I am the Vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, the same brings forth much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.” And what Paul said in 1Co 12:11-12 But the one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing separately to each one as He desires. For as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body; so also is Christ. The phrase “THE true Church”, formulates the following picture in my mind. I can see my foot saying to my ear, “I am THE true member of this body.” If one would ask, which is “THE true collective body of Christian?” I expect there would be just as much debate on the matter. Can we not ALL simply come together and “know them by the fruits they bare”? GB |

I see no connection between John 20:22-23 and any of my questions. I have no doubt that even the Catholics haven't anyone amoung them whom Jesus breathed on at the time this scripture reflects. Can you be a little more specific? All who are saved have recieved the Holy Spirit. Acts Chapter 2. Dear soul, are you a devout Catholic? If so, can you not answer my simple questions? Thanks for trying. GB |

Personally, I currently have absolutely no desire to read anything you recommend, either pro or anti Catholic. Nor do I desire to fit the classification you consider scholarly, by doing such. I simply asked a couple questions out of curiosity. If you aren't qualified to answer them, so be it. GB |

88 | should a catholic marraige be sanctified | Bible general Archive 2 | Glory Bound | 131497 | ||
Steve. Without injecting opinion, can you please quote the scripture that supports your statement? Isn't a "non believer" not a Christian? What of the Believer who is (married) to the "non Believer?" One could also state that a heathen marriage is when a heathen man marries a heathen woman. Likewise an American marriage is when an American man marries an American women, and so on. Is this what you are stating? GB |

Just curious... Christ stated "No man cometh to the Father but by me." Why do Catholics go before Priests to confess their sins? This is OT, not NT. Why do Catholics pray to the Saints? Unlike Christ, they are not omnipotent. They could not possibly hear the prayers of all the Catholics. Even if they could, there is but ONE intercessor between God and man, the man Christ Jesus. I am Protestant. I will always be so. Yet, though I do not believe as the Catholics do, it seems that the action of the Catholic Church is often closer to true Christianity than that of many professing Christian Churches. Christ, believing Him, what He did, and accepting the salvation He has made available, is all that matters. As long as the Foundation is Christ, denomination is simply icing on the top of the cake.

Vows before God are vows, whether Catholic, Protestant, Episcopalian, or what. A renewal of ones vows does not make one any more married than the original. If there were a difference, one could simply change religion, then claim their marriage was no longer valid. GB |

91 | Difference between christian/ disciple | Acts 11:26 | Glory Bound | 131486 | ||
Your note is well understood and agreed on. I'd have to say that Love is the most important but, that truth has a place where LOVE is concerned. I would interject my thoughts concerning your first example. I'd have to say, "Grandmother, I love you and appreciate the cookies you made for me, but what did you put in them?" Who knows, she may have accidentally used powdered bleach in place of sugar, and it may severly affect someone else. Most assuredly, the root of our being is to be LOVE. Yet too many confuse the fact that truth is an ingredient where love is concerned. Is not LOVE truth? I look on truth as a seasoning where LOVE is concerned. It is necessary. Some do not like salt. Others do. Some require more salt than others. Even still, many require garlic, or pepper as a seasoning. Where LOVE is concerned, TRUTH is a necessary ingredient, but as with any seasoning, there can be too much or too little. In Christ GB |

Tim, your words are filled with wisdom. As I read them, I couldn't help but to think that we are told that we should be as Christ. I expect you have probably had those two statements aimed at you at one time or another. I have been the recipient of those particular statements, and many which were much more derogatory. It is of a certainty that anyone who, like you and I, stand on the "Unleavened Word," has endured such. I like your thought that "what I am presenting isn't MY TRUTH! It is God's truth. Therefore, I don't have to take it personally if His truth is rejected by someone. It falls in line with my thought that the "if the recipient doesn't like the message, they should take it up with the originator; not the messenger." I am always open to truth. Most whom I converse with think they have it. I do not claim to be anyone special where the Word is concerned, but I do know the truth, and a lie or "half truth," which is also a lie, when I see it. I'm sorry but I just can't keep my mouth shut when I see lies and half truths where the Word is concerned. As many should, themselves consider, I am still in the process of honing my method of delivery though. What amazes me is when someone comes to these boards; asks a question; then wants to argue the answer. Those, I feel are rarely interested in the truth. They only wish to twist it. I only respond to such posts in hopes that others will see the truth. I wonder how often the Sewer has sewn in what appeared to be fertile soil, only to find that the seeds that fell along the way produced the more. GB |

As usual Tim, your words are pure. Tim, I too am familiar with those to whom you refer concerning their insulting posts. However, I would attest that there are occasions when the naked truth is insulting. But when ones nakedness is revealed, should they not do something other than defend their nakedness? When one makes ignorant statements concerning scripture, and then refuses scriptural instruction, I should think that the instructor would be expected to either "give up" on that person, or present the truth in a more firm manor. My biggest mistake is that I do not like to give up where scriptural truth is concerned.Perhaps I added a little more seasoning than I should. I apologize only to any who may have misunderstood my intentions. I make no apologies concerning any of my statements to this individual. As I intend to take your thoughts to heart, "If ones intentions are pure, will they not listen to correction?" Thank you Tim GB |

95 | Determine if the wife was a virgin or no | Matt 1:23 | Glory Bound | 131145 | ||
Though it is highly possiable that the word "virgin" may not be in a passage relating to your question, the word virgin appears 33 times in scripture. Only 7 of which are in the NT. So, if your thought is in scripture as you think, it is probably in the OT. (NT) KJV Mat_1:23; Luk_1:27; 1Co_7:28; 1Co_7:34; 1Co_7:36; 1Co_7:37; 2Co_11:2; (OT) KJV Gen_24:16; Gen_24:43; Lev_21:3; Lev_21:14; Deu_22:19; Deu_22:23; Deu_22:28; Deu_32:25; 2Sa_13:2; 1Ki_1:2; 2Ki_19:21; Isa_7:14; Isa_23:12; Isa_37:22; Isa_47:1; Isa_62:5; Jer_14:17; Jer_18:13; Jer_31:4; Jer_31:13; Jer_31:21; Jer_46:11; Lam_1:15; Lam_2:13; Joe_1:8; Amo_5:2; I hope this helps GB |

96 | Praying for someone | Rom 8:28 | Glory Bound | 131137 | ||
The question is not Why? The Question is "How." How much faith do you have when you pray for someone? How much faith does that person have in the Word of God? Are you praying in accordance to Gods will; His word? Is it His will that your prayers be answered in accordance with your will, or His? Rom 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. "All things work together for good... " "All things work together for good... " "All things work together for good... " If you meet this qualification; one who LOVES God; rest assured, you may think things are worse; they may be worse, but "ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER.... ALL THINGS..... ALL THINGS..... If you are a born again Christian, you are among "the called according to his purpose." I sincerely hope this helps. GB |

97 | What is meant by the' greater sin'? | John 19:11 | Glory Bound | 131133 | ||
Pilate had not personally witnessed the miracles Jesus had performed. The people had. It was the same people who had witnessed the miracles of Christ who cried "Crucify him, crucify him." It would appear that all sins are not equal, but some more heinous than others; some comparatively as gnats, others as camels; some as motes in the eyes, others as beams; It was those who personally witnessed Jesus' miracles, who had falsely accused and delivered him to Pilate who had not witnessed the miracles, who had "the greater sin."

100 | God's truth | 1 Cor 8:5 | Glory Bound | 131022 | ||
Remember the following dear soul. 1Co 7:14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy. 1Co 7:15 But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace. 1Co 7:16 For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy wife? Keep up the good fight, dear sister. GB |
