81 | Given the chance to repent | Num 4:15 | TheCurtMan | 94474 | ||
You don’t think that we’re slightly off track with the original topic? Fact 1. Adam and Eve hid from God because of their broken relationship with God. Gen. 3:8 Fact 2. Uzzah was killed immediately before he had the chance to repent due to a law of God that was in place well before he touched the Ark. II Sam. 6:7 and Num. 4:15. Fact 3. You still have not answered my original question. Do you think that good intentions should supercede the laws of God?? II Sam. 6:6 I happen to believe that just because the law wasn’t given until later, that there are a number of things about the law that the Israelites understood before hand. For example: Where was the law indicating Forgiveness when Joseph forgave his brothers? Gen. 50:19-21 Where was the law indicating Firstfruits, and or giving your best unto God when Able gave his gift to God? Gen. 4:4. Where was the law concerning Murder when Cain killed his brother? Gen. 4:8 And if Cain didn’t do anything wrong by killing his brother because there was no law, then why try and deceive God about it? Gen. 4:9 The Tree of Knowledge of good and evil that Adam and Eve ate from gave them the knowledge of good and evil. Can you honestly tell me to what degree did their knowledge extended to?? And Yes I will tell you that there is spiritual teaching in Gen. 3. You quoted verses 16-19, but you over looked 15. What are the indications of that verse?? What did God mean when He indicated that the woman’s seed would bruise the serpent’s head?? Better still, what are the implications of II Tim. 3:16?? Maybe you didn’t mean what you said about no spiritual teaching there, but if you did, there IS spiritual teaching there if you were to combine it with other parts of scripture The CurtMan |

82 | Can Satan know our thoughts? | Rom 12:2 | TheCurtMan | 94394 | ||
I have a question, something that I'm not quite clear on. Are you saying that satan knows a part of our mind because he's the one that placed the bad thoughts there? "Satan can only get at your mind. Remeber sin first starts with a thought, and that thought then the action. Satan knows that thought, he is the one that puts it there" Or are you saying that he knows our mind completely? "Satan does know your thoughts" I think that maybe you are refering to the first question, and indicating that he knows a part of our mind. Do you think that you could be a little more clearer?? |

84 | Given the chance to repent | Num 4:15 | TheCurtMan | 94278 | ||
I did not say that good intension will superceed the laws of God but the chances that given to person to repent I did not make a statement or an accusation, I simply asked a question, which was, “My question to you is that do you think that good intentions should supercede the laws of God?” My second question to you is, “Can I get an answer to my previous question?” Fact of the matter is that God’s word was in place well before Uzzah touched the Ark. When Uzzah did touch the Ark, that brings me back to my original question. Unfortunately he did not have a chance to repent, I John 1:9. Some consequences to actions are immediate. This is one of those examples. And as far as Adam and Eve is concerned, THEY DID DIE IMMEDIATELY. Not physically, but spiritually. Look at Gen. 3:8. They were spiritually separated from God. That perfect relationship they had with God was broken. According to what God said in 2:8, “…for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.” Death did take place in that day. To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord, if you have a relationship with the Him. I personally would rather be physically dead and rejoicing than spiritually dead and miserable.

85 | Temptation - Physical or in thought? | Matt 4:5 | TheCurtMan | 94275 | ||
Due to the temptations that Jesus suffered, I find it hard to believe that it was only in His mind. I believe that being hungry is more physical than mental. According to Hebrews 4:15, Jesus was tempted in all things as we are tempted in all things. Our temptation is physical as well as in thought, therefore the temptations of Jesus would have had to be physical as well. As far as the transportation of Jesus to these high places, one would only be making assumptions because scripture do not say 'how' he was transported, only that the devil took him. However; Jesus was there expressly for the purpose to be tempted v.1, so I guess it would be fair to say that He ALLOWED the adversary to lead Him. The CurtMan |

The temperment of your post seems to be of hostility. Do I come across the same way to you?? You asked me if I followed sound doctrine. Personally I think that's a bad question because of course I'm going to say, "Yes". However; if someone was to point out biblically where something that I believe in was a little off base, I'll listen to what they have to say, pray and meditate on it. God will eventually see that I get the right answer. Do you really believe that no one has taken the time to approach Hinn on his doctrine?? It's to my understanding that he has been approached on several occasions. But much like you said, the man isn't listening. You're quick to rush to the defense of Hinn, but what about the people that his doctrine has affected?? Hinn, was at one time a believer of the Faith Doctrine. Rather he still believe in that doctrine today, I can not say. Anyway, as you probably know, this doctrine taught that sick people was sick because they did not have the faith to be made well. Hinn was also a believer of the Name it and Claim it Doctrine. This doctrine taught that you can speak things into exsistance It really didn't matter if it was the Will of the Lord or not I'm aware of a true story where a follower of a Faith Teacher was diagnosed with an illness. The cure exsist, the treatment was simple. This guy refuse to claim it. As a matter of fact, he had all the faith in the world, how could he be sick. He ended up dying. He was the head of his household, left behind a wife and some children. His wife who was also a believer, changed her belief, and shared her story with many. You rush to the defense of Hinn, but look at the damage that his belief is doing to people. I don't hear you standing up for them. And just for the record, I'm not attacking Hinn, nor his doctrine, at present I'm just stating the simple truth. You also stated to show you where you were wrong in touching God's anointed, would if be fair to assume that you did not read the post sent to you by the Radioman?? This is part of what he had posted, I suggest that you read the entire thing: 'Advocates [of authoritarian rule or unconditional authority for certain preachers and evangelists] assume that Scripture supports their view. Their key biblical proof text is Psalm 105:15: "Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm" (KJV). But a close examination of this passage reveals that it has nothing to do with challenging the teachings of church leaders. 'It first needs to be noted that the Old Testament phrase "the Lord's anointed" is typically used to refer to the kings of Israel (1 Sam. 12:3, 5; 24:6, 10; 26:9, 11, 16, 23; 2 Sam. 1:14, 16; 19:21; Ps. 20:6; Lam. 4:20), at times specifically to the royal line de-scended from David (Pss. 2:2; 18:50; 89:38, 51), and not to prophets and teachers. While the text does also mention prophets, in the context of Psalm 105 the reference is undoubtedly to the patriarchs in general (vv. 8-15; cf. 1 Chron. 16:15-22), and to Abraham (whom God called a prophet) in particular (Gen. 20:7). It is therefore debatable whether this passage can be applied to select leaders within the body of Christ. 'Even if the text can be applied to certain church leaders today, in the context of this passage the words "touch" and "do harm" have to do with inflicting physical harm upon someone. Psalm 105:15 is therefore wholly irrelevant to the issue of questioning the teachings of any of God's "anointed." The CurtMan |

88 | Did Jesus suffer in hell when he died? | Luke 23:46 | TheCurtMan | 94002 | ||
If your mother went to a Benny Hinn crusade and was healed of cancer and her other medical problems, then the praise should go God. Actually that's the first documented success story I've ever heard come through that ministry. I mean I've seen the man on T.V., and I've heard of some of the healing stories, but upon further investigation, to my knowledge, none of the healings could show a before and after authentic medical documented healing of an illness. But if you say that your mother was healed of cancer, not that the cancer is in remission, but actually healed of it, then I will take your word for it. How is she doing these days anyway?? Last night I took the opportunity to look up the scripture verse that you quoted, Matt. 7:22. I noticed two very interesting points. The first one is in v. 15. Jesus was instructing the people to beware of false prophets. False prophets were as common in His day the same way that false teachers are common today. They both have the tendicy to take the word of God out of it's original context and twist it to imply something that it really doesn't mean. They both teach a false doctrine. I guess my first question would be, should we not also beware of false teachers and false doctrines today the same the people was instructed to beware of false prophets and false doctrines yesterday?? And if we fail to do this, are we not in violation of sound doctrine?? According to the information posted by the Radioman, you and I both were misinterpreting ‘Touching God's Anointed'. Since it doesn't appear to mean what we thought it meant, then what other reasons do you have for following Benny Hinn?? The second thing that I noticed was in v.22. "Did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?" Now this one I literally lost sleep over. Where did these people get the authority to cast out demons? I don't think that it came from God because in v.23 Jesus said, "I never knew you". The only other reasonable place would be the adversary. But that one caused a problem to. In Matt. 12:22-26 Jesus cast out a demon. The Pharisees accused Him of doing this through the devil. Jesus' answer indicated that the devil can not cast out demons. So where did the people get the authority to cast out demons. Eventually I had to settle for the bottom line. It doesn't matter where they got their authority from. The bottom line is that they were truly deceived into thinking that what they were doing, they were doing for our Lord and Savior, and in actuality they were not. Jesus said, "I never knew you, depart from me..." I think this is one of the reasons why we should be careful of who we follow. There are going to be many that says, "Lord, Lord", and they might even have a large congregation themselves, but in the end, they will not make it into the Kingdom of Heaven. The CurtMan |

Somewhere I missed the boat on your post. You say that Benny Hinn is a very proud man, but pride is one of the seven deadly sins, that is detestable unto the Lord, Proverbs 6:16-19. You say that he seems unteachable, so much for humility. I Perter 5:5 You say that you will go against his false doctrines, and you ask where to draw the line and say this guy has notheing to teach you?? Gal. 1:6-9 I know that you’re not going to like this one, but this man is not of God. He may have started out being for God at one time or another, but at present he is misleading a great many, and you’re one of them. God do not appreciate pride, the twisting of His word, and the misleading of His children. Rather you can accept the truth in love or not, you need to find yourself another spiritual example to follow. I believe that scripture says “follow me as I follow the Lord” If Benny Hinn was following the Lord, I believe that he should make a public apology for the doctrine that he teaches, and if nothing else, pull his books of the shelves so they can not mislead anyone else. And that’s just for starters. Oh, and one other point. It’s to my understanding that AIDS have a 100 percent fatality rate. How can this be if Benny Hinn has the power of healing?? The CurtMan |

91 | Why was Cain's offering unacceptable? | Gen 4:3 | TheCurtMan | 93862 | ||
I’m under the impression that most fruits are grown in trees and not on the ground. When I read this, I get the impression that Cain picked up a piece of fruit off the ground and gave it to God. No consideration in his gift what so ever. Rather Cain picked up the fruit off the ground or not, I still believe that he wasn’t to considerate of his gift to God, I do not believe that his attitude was right. Where is the sacrifice in a piece of fruit?? Able on the other hand gave the firstfruit of his flock with the right attitude. Now THERE is a sacrifice that meets Godly Standards. I really do not think that the bible stipulates why God rejected Cains gift. Fact of the matter is He did. And the writer of Hebrews, how does he know?? “All scripture is given by inspiration of God…” II Tim. 3:16 The CurtMan |

92 | Why did Eve orginally leave the garden? | Gen 3:1 | TheCurtMan | 93858 | ||
According to Genesis 2:9, there where two trees in the midst of the garden. The Tree of Life, and the Tree of Knowledge of good and evil. The conversation that Eve had with the serpent most likely took place in the midst of the garden. In verse 6 of chp. 3 Eve took of the fruit and ate it. The reason that I believe that they were kicked out of the garden is because they started a sinful chain reaction that can be seen in today’s society. Had they remained in the garden, V.22 says that they might have also stretched out their hands and eaten from the Tree of Life. Which means that they might still be living today to see the magnitude of the damage they’ve caused. Being kicked out of the garden was a blessing to them rather they knew it or not. So what do you think?? The CurtMan |

93 | Who created evil? | Gen 3:1 | TheCurtMan | 93729 | ||
Do I have any ideas?? Do a river have water?? A friendly discussion on spiritual matters where we can agree to disagree and share one another’s perspective on a matter is alright by me. But if it’s answers that you’re looking for, you could find a better resource than the CurtMan. Here’s my belief on the issue: Over in Matt. 19:3-9, the Pharisees were questioning Jesus on marriage. They wanted to know why Moses allowed them to divorce their wives if divorce was not origingally in God’s plans. In verse 8 Jesus answered and said to them, “Because of your hardness of heart Moses permitted you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it has not been this way.” For a lack of a better way to say what I want to say, I’ll put it this way. I believe that God has two wills. An Original Will, like how things were suppose to go from the beginning, and a Permissive Will, things He allow because of circumstances, like the hardness of our heart. Originally speaking, I do not believe that divorce was part of God plans. But because of our Freedom of Choice, because of our ability to make bad decisions, God allow certain things to happen for whatever the reason, and has already planned for them. I personally do not believe that God’s original plan was for Lucifer to do the things that he did. I believe that God had to have a plan in place for when Lucifer did do what he did. Careful planning is one of the many lessons that can be found in scripture. Take Pharaoh for example. That was planned, but was it part of God’s Origingal Will, or Permissive Will?? I personally believe that Pharaoh was part of God’s Permissive Will simply based on the fact that if you read that story carefully, you’ll see that Pharaoh played a part in hardening his own heart. God also played a part in hardening Pharaoh’s heart because His plan was to make a cold example out of the man, and He did just that. Neither do I believe that God hardening Pharaoh’s heart was a voilation of Pharaoh’s Freedom of Choice. He could’ve repented at anytime, God just knew that he wouldn’t. So while regaining His children from Egypt, God showed His children a very important lesson, ‘THERE IS NO OTHER GOD BESIDE ME’. All Pharaoh had to do was open his ears and listen to his counselors who tried to tell him that his arms was too short to box with the God of Moses. Figurtively speaking that is. Let me ask you something, if God, ‘raised up Pharaoh’ to be the way that he was and violated his freedom of choice, then according with all that scripture has to say or salvation; obedience; and rebellion, it would seem that Pharaoh’s punishment was unjust. “He couldn’t help it, God made him do it.” Also, if all this is true, then how do you fit James 1:13-16 into this idea?? |

96 | Did Jesus suffer in hell when he died? | Luke 23:46 | TheCurtMan | 93718 | ||
Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump? I Cor. 5:6. This I know. What I ment was that if you took each and every detail of their surmon, examined it closely under what scripture actully says. The over all majority of what they say within that surmon actually checks out. It's just that one little lie, that one or two misconception that tends to through everything off. May I suggest a book called Christianity in Crisis by Hank Hanagraff. He explains it alot better than I ever could. I know a mature Christian woman who liked listening to Hinn. We got into a discussion about his doctrine. She knew that not everything that he taught on was biblical. Her stance was on discernment. Her question to me was if a Christian has discernment should the baby be thrown out with the bath water simply because the water was dirty. I pose the same question to you. My answer, after consideration, was, "YES". The CurtMan |

Just for the record; If you're going to mention Copland by name, then it would also be fair to mention Hagaan and Hinn. They travel in the same circle and preach the same doctrine. Yes, they are false teachers and teach a false doctrine. Unfortunately not every detail of their doctrine is false. The CurtMan |

If you would like to discuss the 9th chapter of Romans, I have no problem with that. But out of 33 verses, where would you like to start?? In light of our most recent conversation, I could only assume that you’re drawn reference to v. 17. Would that be a fair assumption?? The reason I drew this conclusion is because of these two statements that you made. 1. My whole point was about God's eternal plan. 2. But I am fully convinced that God created everything, even the devil, to be the evil being that he is. The CurtMan |

100 | Given the chance to repent | Num 4:15 | TheCurtMan | 93593 | ||
You're right, I did miss the question. Sorry. Was Uzzah given the chance to repent? No. It is obvious from the text that after his mistake, and before his death, there was no time for repentance. And like Aixen7z4, I also believe that there is no repentance after death. As far as your question regarding 1 John 1:9, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness", not all sins bring forth immediate consequences-Jonah chp. 3 for example. |
