Hank, HELP! I seek the advice of spiritually mature brothers. When you have time please read my response to Lionstrong on this thread and tell me if you think it is o.k. for me to "begin at the beginning" like I was trying to do with jmartin, or if you think I should immediately begin quoting the Bible when witnessing to an unbeliever. I was just trying to "start where he was at" like Paul did with the Greeks. | ||||||

Lionstrong, I'm not making myself clear. We (believers) do have the whole Bible to base our belief on. But what do unbelievers have? They don't believe the Bible. They have nature as proof of God's existence. But if they do not believe in God or the Bible, quoting the Bible to them is nonsense. In fact, quoting the Bible in reference to my comment misses the whole point I was trying to make. I'm simply saying that without faith, without a pre-existing belief in God, without the Bible to quote from, all unbelievers have to BEGIN with is the evidence of God in nature. I assumed I was responding to an unbeliever (jmartin). I assumed jmartin does not accept the Bible as truth, so quoting it to him (at this point) would be jumping ahead. I was trying to start with the very basics by explaining that God wants us to come to Him in faith because of what is obvious (His existence in nature). From there I would have eventually begun quoting the Bible. But some well-meaning brothers jumped in and we got off on this tangent. I think John 6:69 confirms what I'm trying to say: the apostles first BELIEVED (faith) and then were able to KNOW (facts). Faith comes first. I agree with you: the Bible is provable and every word is true (even though every provable point is hotly debated). I didn't want to get into all that with an unbeliever and only add to his confusion at a time when he seems to be seeking. I just wanted him to know there was a Christian out there who would begin at the beginning and address his questions without thumping the Bible at him. If I have upset you or any of the brethren with my elementary level comments I apologize and withdraw them. In Christ, cwade | ||||||
85 | Why did Jesus weep or what was the occas | John 11:35 | cwade | 66242 | ||
When Jesus was taken to his friend Lazarus'tomb(by Mary) he saw people weeping and wailing and he wept openly too. Jesus showed he cares enough for us to weep with us in our sorrow. (Note on John 11:35 in Life Application Bible) | ||||||

I agree Joe. Intelligent Design is a much more logical "theory" than the Big Bang. Creation makes much more sense than evolution (to you and I anyway). Do you think it is faith that helps us to understand these facts? The only point I've been trying to make here is the importance of faith over absoloute knowledge. By the way, I doubt I will ever disagree with one of your posts after the wonderful answer you gave to my other question about divorce. | ||||||
87 | Does God REQUIRE new believer to divorce | 1 Cor 7:24 | cwade | 66215 | ||
Beautiful, Biblical answer Hank. Thank God for believers like you and Joe. I was starting to wonder if there were any out there. | ||||||

You are right Mike. The historian Josephus made reference to Jesus, archeological evidence has verified Bible events, James the brother of Jesus' ossuary was found recently, etc. But what I meant was that SCIENCE cannot prove the EXISTENCE of God. Belief in God requires faith. (Thankfully, if our faith is weak, God will strengthen it if we just ask). I wasn't saying that events in the Bible can't be verified, just that the existence of God can't be scientifically confirmed. Once again, that's why we need faith. | ||||||
89 | Does God REQUIRE new believer to divorce | 1 Cor 7:24 | cwade | 66182 | ||
GOD BLESS YOU JOE!!! It is so nice to encounter someone who embodies the truth of God's love, God's grace and God's mercy! Sadly, many "Christians" have tried to tell us we need to cause heartache, devastation and destruction in our lives, and the lives of our children and get divorced because we are "living in sin." I would not want to be a part of a "religion" that really required something like that! God has blessed us and our marriage so much. He has answered all of our prayers and we both feel the constant presence of His Holy Spirit working in our lives. In our hearts we knew those "Pharisee and Saducees" who said we should divorce where wrong. They were damaging our faith! God bless you brother, you have "set us free". Now, are thee any children of God out there who disagree with Joe? | ||||||
90 | Does God REQUIRE new believer to divorce | Not Specified | cwade | 66176 | ||
If a non-believer has been through three divorces, then remarries a fourth time, and AFTER the 4th marriage both he and his wife get saved and both REPENT of their prior divorces - are they then required to divorce? What if the divorce would hurt their three small children. Does God really want that? Didn't he forgive and FORGET their past sins including the divorces? | ||||||

When I said "hard cold facts" I meant Scientific evidence. There is no scientific evidence that God or Jesus ever existed. I don't believe God will ever allow that because then we wouldn't need faith. All we have to go on to believe in God is what we see in nature. All we have to go on to believe in Jesus is the testimony of eye witnesses who have been dead for 2000 years (the Bible). I happen to believe every word of the Bible is true, but I believe that because of faith not facts. As a result of that faith, God's Holy Spirit lives within me and that is all the proof I need. | ||||||
93 | Why are Christians right? for sure? | Gen 1:1 | cwade | 66053 | ||
Christians are not always right. We are human so we are not perfect. (Just look at the differences of opinion on this website). No human can ever be "right" about EVERYTHING whether they are a Christian or not. Only God is "right" ALL of the time. I believe in God, and that he created the universe. I believe the Bible is the inerrant Word of God. Everything in the Bible is "right" because it was ordained by God. Christians are wrong quite often, but God never is. | ||||||
94 | Why doesn’t God just show himself to tho | Mark 11:22 | cwade | 66051 | ||
God wants us to have FAITH in him. He wants us to believe (in Jesus) out of faith, not because of hard cold facts. If he showed himself to us physically (again) we wouldn't need faith would we? The entire Bible speaks of the importance of faith. God has revealed Himself to us through Jesus, His Word (the Bible), and the Holy Spirit. That really is enough revelation for anyone who will have an open mind, an open heart and just believe through faith. After that, the Holy Spirit makes the presence of God unmistakable in the believer's life. | ||||||
95 | Why does God deliver SOME from sin? | Not Specified | cwade | 66048 | ||
I work with drug addicts and alcoholics. I have known many who accepted Christ and were immediately delivered from the DESIRE for drugs and alcohol (cured of their addictions). But I have known just as many who accepted Christ and WERE NOT delivered from that desire to sin. Why does God "cure" some and not others? Is it a question of submission? | ||||||

98 | Was Jesus physical body deformed? | Is 53:3 | cwade | 66044 | ||
Thank you brother Robert. I thank God for your spiritual maturity. I know my question seems irrelevant to the final outcome (ressurection). But I know it would be an encouragement to people who suffer from birth defects, etc. if our Lord also suffered the same kind of affliction(s)while He was here in His spiritual body. But, if that was the case, it probably would have been addressed more directly in Scripture. Thanks again and God Bless You. | ||||||
99 | Does Is:53:3,4 mean He sufferd deformity | Is 53:3 | cwade | 66042 | ||
Thank you and God bless you. I appreciate your well thought out answer. What do you think of Isaiah 53:3,4? Is it at all possible in light of these verses that Jesus' physical body did suffer some deformity? | ||||||
100 | Was Jesus physical body deformed? | Is 53:3 | cwade | 66038 | ||
Thank you brother Searcher. How do you interpret Isaiah 53:3? What does it mean that He was "a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief... like one from whom men hide their face"? I once read that the story of Quasimoto was really a parody of Jesus. The author believed Jesus' physical body was deformed in some way (possibly a hump back etc...) Do you know of any Scripture verse that would deny this theory? | ||||||
