81 | Can you define Charismatic | Eph 4:14 | khuck | 104000 | ||
Radioman; I have been told that I am a Charismatic Christian, of that I am not sure. I just know that I am a believer. What is the charismatic, really? I have heard it described in so many ways. I do speak in tongues and therefore a member of my Mom's church said that is what I am. I have heard that the baptism of the Holy Spirit and the manifestation of His gifts warrants the title charismatic. Please explain the term to me if you can. Your in Him, -Kathy |

82 | Slain or knocked down | Eph 4:14 | khuck | 103996 | ||
Dear Hank :) What are you doing reading my mind? That was my next question, which you have answered sufficiently. Where or how did this practice originate? You are on top of your game! (smile) I thank you for the further insight. I know I maybe a nuisance with this one... but the whole thing really shook me up. I felt more like I had suffered a certain form of violence at this man's hands. Next time I visit congregation (with family member or Christian friend), and there is an alter call for prayer, you better believe I will wait in the background to see what is happening. (grin) God Bless you Hank! -Kathy |

83 | Slain or knocked down | Eph 4:14 | khuck | 103995 | ||
Hi Radioman :) I did not mean to imply that is was an isolated Pentecostal practice. (just info gleaned from previous posts) But is it something that crosses denominational lines? Inquiring minds... (smile) -Kathy |

84 | Slain or knocked down | Eph 4:14 | khuck | 103988 | ||
Sorry Brad, I did not mean to imply that your references on this matter were false. I agree with all of your assertions and also the search where you directed me, yielded much. After reading the notes I understand why this man would literally shove me with so much force to the floor. (it was certainly a deceitful thing to do) The one post that stood out was that this is a pentecostal practice, and that is the denomination of my family member's church. I really appreciate your assistance, thank you! -Kathy |

Hi Bradk It is ironic that you used: "As a result, we are no longer to be children, tossed here and there by waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, by craftiness in deceitful scheming;" That is one of the themes that came out in this man's sermon. I did not question my relative on the incident. Although I am to understand that I was supposedly slained in Spirit. I wanted to jump up with indignation and scream to this Pastor, "Hey why did you push me down!" I was not slained in anything, I was knocked down on my taukus. And though that particular congregation considered it a charismatic move of the Spirit. I was pretty embarassed and had to be covered by a woman with a drape, my dress flew up. Can I ask you how common is this practice? (if you might know) And thank you for the response, I am still a bit weirded out by it. Trust, I will check references that you have provided. God Bless you, -Kathy |

86 | Do you recall the day of your Salvation | John 12:32 | khuck | 103979 | ||
Dearest Tim, Thank you for indulging me on this. My soul just cries out with joy when I hear about the day when one first believed. It is good to remember the day we first fell in Love with Him. Each of these testimonies have brought a song to my heart. This is yours: I don't feel no ways tired I have come to far from where I started from. Nobody told me. that the road would be easy, But I don't believe He brought me this far ... to just leave me! I pray God's continued Blessing for your ministry, your family and your Life in Christ, I am blessed because of your testimony -Kathy |

87 | Would a gentle spirit work? | John 12:32 | khuck | 103977 | ||
My Pastor calls it self-righteousness when we beat the weak down with the word because we feel we are more saved and more knowledgeable. That we are viewed by them as above them in Christ by our behavior. Therefore we beat them down and do not lift them up. Therefore they feel that they are not worthy to be a member of our little "Christ Clique", that is reserved for just us righteous few. He calls it, "Just us four and NO MORE" syndrome. (Laughing) Noble you make an excellent point here. God Bless you, -Kathy |

Dearest Tim, You are truly easy to love! And you make a great point here. That would be an awesome resource. Between you, Hank and Makarios, I have been really looking into greek translations. It is very complex yet enlightening. I enjoy your responses ... they do make one ponder the Word. I had hoped you'd respond to post ID# 103826 (Hint! Hint!) grin God's Blessing be upon you always, -Kathy |

Searcher, I am not familiar with that term, but if you give me a reference I will look at it. But just from my heart I would say that every Thursday is a Good Thursday, for each one is a day that God has made, therefore let us be glad and rejoice it it. With His Love, -Kathy |

91 | Church budget not met should they beg? | 1 Tim 5:17 | khuck | 103964 | ||
Hello DedicatedToHim :) I will only address the healing portion of your post. By offering two of my favorite verses of scripture. ***you said, "God can heal anyone at anytime regardless if the budget is met in the Church. This has really bothered me. Well, please just offer me some more help with this." *** Isaiah 53:5 - But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed. 2 Chronicles 7:14 If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

Hi Tim :) Sure thing - you translate from the hotan my translations says otan (ote an) (whenever) and upsow -he may exalt you. Nonethess I stated my references below. ***Greek Lexicon - When ye have lifted up the Son of man: (otan upswshte ton uion tou antrwpou). otan: when, whenever, as long as, as soon as Indefinite temporal clause with otan (ote "plus" an) and the first aorist active subjunctive of upsow, to lift up (Koine verb from upsov, height), used several times in John of the Cross of Christ (3:14; 8:28; 12:32,34). It is unnecessary to render the aorist subjunctive as if a future perfect, simply "whenever ye lift up" (actually lift up, ingressive aorist). In Acts 2:33 the verb is used of the Ascension. otan: when, whenever, as long as, as soon as *** So this translates in more than one way - It can be said: Jesus therefore said, "When, whenever, as long as, as soon as , ye have lifted up the Son of man ***Greek Lexicon - And I, if I be lifted from the earth (kagw an upswtw ek thv ghv). an: case, 1; everyone, 1; except, 1; if, 2; or, 1; though, 2; unless, 34; whatever, 22; when, 2; whenever, 2; wherever, 8; whether, 1; whoever, 17; whomever, 2; upswtw (upsow):That he may exalt you upsow:That he may exalt you (ina upswshi). Purpose clause with ina and first aorist active subjunctive of upsow*** So this translates in more than one way - It can be said: Whenever, wherever, however that you may exalt Him from the earth. God Bless you as always, -Kathy |

Hi Tim! Please check the translation on this one it is enlightening When he said If I be lifted up.... and it also clearly meant besides the death on the cross, If I be exalted. I have pointed out now on this thread with the entire greek translation... It does in fact not only suggest but it translates "exaltation or adoration" as well as being lifted from the earth while on the cross in John 12:32. Please see my post ID# 103946 |

I was invited to visit the church of a family member, and accepted the invite. While I was there the Pastor prayed for me as I was standing before him. He had his hand on my forehead and he was pushing me. Of Course I (wearing 2 inch heels) was pushing back against his hand, not wanting to fall. Finally he gave me a thrust knocking me to the floor, and causing much discomfort on my toosh. People gathered around me as if it was a miraculous thing. Why do they do this? What does it mean? Why is it called being slain? I have seen it done before, I have no understanding of it. -khuck |

Noble you are meaning John 12:32, and not Luke right? I am almost sure you mean John but I don't want to assume:) But as I have pointed out now on this thread with the entire greek translation... It does in fact not only suggest but it translates "exaltation or adoration" in John 12:32. Please see my post ID# 103946 Your friend in Him, -Kathy |

REPOST This was lost in another thread same subject: I humbly offer this post in peace and graciousness: What if it can be proven that both translations are correct? It took some homework but if I translate the Greek correctly, I think we are all looking through God's same window and just admiring different parts of the view. John12:32 Lifted up from the earth - This is a Hebraism which signifies dying. Death in general is all that is usually imported. But our Lord made use of this phrase, rather than others that were equivalent, because it so well suited the particular manner of his death. I will draw all men - Gentiles as well as Jews. And those who follow my drawings, Satan shall not be able to keep. John 8:28 -Jesus therefore said, When ye have lifted up the Son of man: Greek Lexicon - When ye have lifted up the Son of man: (otan upswshte ton uion tou antrwpou). otan: when, whenever, as long as, as soon as Indefinite temporal clause with otan (ote "plus" an) and the first aorist active subjunctive of upsow, to lift up (Koine verb from upsov, height), used several times in John of the Cross of Christ (3:14; 8:28; 12:32,34). It is unnecessary to render the aorist subjunctive as if a future perfect, simply "whenever ye lift up" (actually lift up, ingressive aorist). In Acts 2:33 the verb is used of the Ascension. otan: when, whenever, as long as, as soon as So this translates in more than one way - It can be said: Jesus therefore said, "When, whenever, as long as, as soon as , ye have lifted up the Son of man John 12:32 Greek Lexicon - And I, if I be lifted from the earth (kagw an upswtw ek thv ghv). an: case, 1; everyone, 1; except, 1; if, 2; or, 1; though, 2; unless, 34; whatever, 22; when, 2; whenever, 2; wherever, 8; whether, 1; whoever, 17; whomever, 2; upswtw (upsow):That he may exalt you upsow:That he may exalt you (ina upswshi). Purpose clause with ina and first aorist active subjunctive of upsow So this translates in more than one way - It can be said: Whenever, wherever, however that you may exalt Him from the earth. I hope this will shed some light -Kathy |

99 | What is the most quoted verse in the Bib | Gen 1:1 | khuck | 103943 | ||
(I am laughing) Ed, You better believe it is scary out here! Especially in S. California. In the past few weeks I have watched fire come to close from all sides, I sat through an earthquake while all around me things burned, the rains are making most peoples homes into Mobile Homes (mudslides)... and they don't even live in trailer parks and if you really want "SCARY"... The Terminator is being sworn in as our Govenor today. (laughing) -Kathy |

100 | THE MOST POWERFUL VERSE IN EVANGELISM | John 12:32 | khuck | 103942 | ||
Hi Noble! :) Please read all of my post regarding this. The translation of the words that Tim and I are using is a correct and more of a Spiritual viewpoint, but it does translate as exaltation in the greek. All that you point to and reference I am in agreement with to. As a matter of fact I also point out these references in my previous post... (wondering if you have read those.) I know that Jesus was signifying the way that He would die. Yet He was also speaking of his being EXALTED. Check out the greek translations. The words "If I be lifted up" translates also within the context that Jesus used the words: Whenever I be exalted, Wherever I be exalted, Whosoever exalts Me" Exalts Mine Exalts Mine Own the words He used actualy translate like this too. Exalting His words draws men, whenever we preach that Gospel we are exalting him before the world. So again I say There is much biblical bases for saying LORD I EXALT YOUR NAME. As I said before It is the only Name that a man call call upon and be saved, demons tremble at the very sound of that Name, it is a Name exalted above all others. I will forever exalt and magnify the Name of Jesus. You don't know what He's done for me, but He gave me victory... and I love Him, deeply Love Him.... I really love the Lord. And that my dearest friend:) is why I say I lift His Name on High or I exalt His Name. I understand your that "facts" are true and I do agree with them. Always yours in Christ, -Kathy |
