81 | What is the answer to this question? | Luke 20:4 | WalkingTalkingBible | 123346 | ||
Hi, mommapbs, I've enjoyed the discussion about baptism between you and Rowdy. Your question at the end of your post especially got my attention. I have a similar question to some of those I fellowship with: If a person who never spoke in tongues got up to teach, would you be so bold to say that he/she isn't filled with the Holy Ghost?) This is something I'm facing today - the "tongue speakers" seem to believe that those who haven't spoken in tongues are not filled with the Holy Ghost. This is so discouraging to the new converts. Thanks for your question at the end of your post, it makes me wonder how different ones would answer. I thank God for the truth! WalkingTalkingBible |

82 | Jesus and the father - different wills? | John 6:38 | WalkingTalkingBible | 123272 | ||
No other verses support that Jesus has a different will than God - Jesus is God! Like you said, there are theories - from the minds of humans and not God. First, I want to say that if the skeptic is not asking you this question with the purpose of conversion, don't bother. One must first understand that Jesus is the Word of God in the flesh (John 1:1,14). He was both human and divine. We, as humans, have our own will. Jesus, Who is our perfect example, shows us that we are to do the will of God and not our own will - if you want eternal life with God. Just like Jesus was water baptized. Why? To fulfill all righteousness - He's our example to follow (Matthew 3:13-17). 1 Timothy 3:16 says, "And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory." Who was manifested in the flesh? God was! Isaiah 9:6 says, "For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace." What shall the Son's name be called? The mighty God! The everlasting Father! God is our Savior and His saving name is Jesus! WalkingTalkingBible |

83 | Does God want the NT or OT reflected? | Matt 22:40 | WalkingTalkingBible | 123262 | ||
I agree with you that we (Christians) must reflect God's Will and Word. It's what separates us from the world (unbelievers/hypocrites). Many can read the Bible, but how many do what God says? I'm glad that God has led you to commentary that is suitable for your spiritual needs. However (for the sake of new and unlearned souls who may read these posts) I would put emphasis on being led, by the Holy Ghost, to an appropriate commentary and not so much on what schools were attended, Ph.D's, etc - maybe it's just me. We know that these people who wrote the "good" commentaries were led by the Holy Ghost and we glorify God for giving us understanding of His Word, but new and unlearned souls may look to men for answers instead of God (and we know that all commentary is not in line with the Word of God). I do commend you for bringing out the importance of studying the Bible and obeying what God has said and that there is truthful commentary, and other spiritual study guides to be used. All Christians, whether new or "seasoned" need to know that it takes more than a superficial reading of the Bible. God says in Proverb 4:7, "Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding." (Many Christians lack wisdom or don't know what it means to have it). Lastly (and I didn't mean to make this so long-forgive me), I believe that the OT and the NT are equally important to a well rounded relationship with God. Only in some areas does the NT have authority over the OT but not as a whole. But with the NT fulfilling (via Jesus) the OT, we see that God is the same; He does not and will not change.

87 | can a baby sin | Bible general Archive 2 | WalkingTalkingBible | 123202 | ||
Adam and Eve were accountable. Nowhere in the Bible does God say that Adam (or Eve) were incompetent. Do you think He told them not to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil just so He can "set them up?" They were not babies! Anyway, for you to say that they were not accountable is saying that the entire Bible is a lie (I don't think you want to go that route). WalkingTalkingBible |

Hi, Aba, along with the responses that EdB and Angel have given, I would say that it is important to wait patiently for God to answer. "Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass." Psalm 37:7 Also, what we ask for must be in the will of God (I'm not saying that you're asking for something outside of God's will). "And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:" 1 John 5:14 Remember that the promises that God has for us already exists. We have to be prepared to receive them. Check out the children of Israel, they were promised the land flowing with milk and honey, but they could not receive that promise in their current condition. That's why they were in the wilderness for forty years - for preparation. So, be encouraged that whatever you've asked of God, He's preparing you to receive it. While you're waiting, ask God to examine you, to see if you're possessing something (spiritually or naturally) that may be hindering your blessing. Do not doubt! Stand, steadfastly, on the Word of God. "For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord." James 1:6b-7 Finally, thank Him because by faith, you know it's done. If doubt comes to mind, thank Him. If you get weary while waiting on your answer, thank Him, in all things, give thanks. This will keep you in faith and from doubting. WalkingTalkingBible |

91 | A spirit of timidity? | NT general Archive 1 | WalkingTalkingBible | 122798 | ||
Hi, Ray, thanks! No, I don't think the Word is an it (no way!!). You are right, I should've said, "the devil knows what the *word says but he will not put *it into action!" Thanks for catching that and thanks also for the verses. I do believe the Holy Spirit proceeds from God (and is God). I haven't studied 2 Corinthians 1:22 so I'll have to get back with you on the idea of the holy spirit as a down payment. WalkingTalkingBible |

92 | Speaking in tongues? Use by women? | Gal 3:28 | WalkingTalkingBible | 122485 | ||
(". . .yet ye have not, because ye ask not." James 4:2) Hi, following him. I love to hear His voice too! And I agree, even in rebuke, He's loving. I remember when I hated prophetic nights because they'd never prophesy to me and God spoke to me (although not through the prophet) and said, "You're selfish!" It didn't "feel" good but it was so true. I was examining myself and had just asked Him to show me where I was coming up short at that particular time - and He told me with His own voice! The one gift I asked Him for I've received it. He has also given me a gift that I didn't ever think to have (it manifested again this morning at work!). He's knows what it takes to draw the unsaved. He is greatly to be praised! "So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase." - 1 Corinthians 3:7 I give God all the glory, because without Him, I am nothing. Thank you for the encouragement, WalkingTalkingBible |

93 | Speaking in tongues? Use by women? | Gal 3:28 | WalkingTalkingBible | 122468 | ||
The bible doesn't say "ask" but uses the word covet (have earnest desire) in 1 Corinthians 14:39. (Let me save you some time by saying - I know, I know, "don't write stuff that's not in the bible"). Does one have an earnest desire without asking for the object of desire? I don't believe that asking for the gift of prophesy is ruled out. WalkingTalkingBible |

BradK, I have to thank you for your response and your clarification! No need to apologize, I think we are just learning the different ways that God uses us! I'm glad to know I have a "real" brother in Christ. WalkingTalkingBible |

97 | Speaking in tongues? Use by women? | Gal 3:28 | WalkingTalkingBible | 122401 | ||
BradK, I hate that you judge that I am arrogant and spiritually superior, just because I stand for what I know. I'm not better than any other human. But what you are saying - and I don't think you mean to be this way - is that what we (ones who are operating in the gifts and experiencing God) are lying. I only asked you questions - I really want to know the answers! Also, I see you as my brother in Christ and sometimes we learn from each other, this is a learning way. I've said before, there are no diplomas in holiness - only God knows it all. I don't mean to be ugly when I say this, but if you are only reading and studying the word and going by what well known theologists are saying, you ARE missing something. Please don't think that I am lying or some false teacher just because I have a personal relationship with God. I asked you before in another post - Do you KNOW God (felt His presence, heard His voice, as a healer, etc)? I'm concerned because there are going to be a lot of souls that will not enter into God's kingdom because they don't know Him, but only of Him. Would I be right if I knew something was bad for someone and didn't tell them? No way! I'd be no better than the one that laid the trap. There's a popular phrase that says, "don't knock it until you've tried it." God has a purpose for you too, just ask Him to show and I guarantee, He will. He will show you the signs and gifts if you really desire to know. I want to share this with you - then I'll shut up. Before I spoke in tongues, I was very skeptical. I wasn't allowed to teach Sunday School because others hadn't heard me speak in tongues (and we're not even Pentacostal!). I started to look for ways to justify myself (also, I used to hate prophetic nights - just didn't seem real) and believe it or not, I found them in the Bible! But when I asked God to show me the truth, He did! One of the gifts I so badly hated in my ignorance and selfishness, He gave it to me. So, I'm not just talking out of what words, orthodoxy, and what theologists say, the Word is operating in me. We all have a purpose. WalkingTalkingBible |

He said to ask for the gift of prophesy, so that's one we can choose :-) | ||||||

"But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:" If I may ask: so, you don't believe that someone else has spoken in tongues as a gift or as the Spirit gives utterance because you haven't? How do you praise God? When (or if) you're praising Him, do you stay poised and dignified? Remember King David? When he brought the Ark of the Covenant back home how he danced and praised God until his clothes fell off? Remember how God handled David's wife because she talked him down for being given over to the Spirit? Have you ever praised God like that? The people in the upper room and the others on whom the Holy Spirit was poured, weren't they drunk with the Spirit? How can you give totally over to God and not let Him have His way? Isn't that quenching the Spirit? Or are todays s-aints too dignified for that type of praising, worship, and thanksgiving regardless of what Jesus did? God tells us to be "drunk with the Spirit" and if you're drunk, you're out of YOUR mind. I admonish you to do more than know what the Bible says and all of the legalisms that comes with theology and get to know God. You'll do more than sing "Amazing Grace" and "What a Friend" every Sunday - you'll also find He's much more than some words in a book. WalkingTalkingBible |

Hi, Sheila, I agree with you. The Holy Spirit is God and He can do so much more to win souls than "give a word" which is what seems to be popular in today's churches (not the Church - the Church does things God's way).The enemy is a liar and have blinded the minds of some - I'm very concerned and I pray for those because I hate to think what else he's lying to them about. "Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you." - Matthew 7:6 WalkingTalkingBible |
