81 | Baptized into his death | Rom 6:3 | lookinforacity | 204094 | ||
Hellow to you to John: You have apperantly read my last post to Tim, what was it that you didnt read, was it the fact that I said, (NO) I dont believe we have to be baptised in order to be saved , or was it the verse I posted 1Pet.3:21 And baptism, which is a figure [of their deliverance], does now also save you [from inward questionings and fears], not by the removing of outward body filth [bathing], but by [providing you with] the answer of a good and clear conscience (inward cleanness and peace) before God [because you are demonstrating what you believe to be yours] through the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Does not that clarify it for you, if not I dont know what it is you need. Here are the words of Jesus himself, clarifying it for Nicodemus. 3Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. 4Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born? 5Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 6That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. 8The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit. 9Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be? 10Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things? have a good day |

Hi again John: Whatever I have posted to a question, has been in good faith, what I have posted has been the truth. It might not be the truth you want to hear, because they might differ with your denominational beliefs, or in the words you may not want to hear, but they are the truth just the same. I have yet to hear what your belief is, I have stated my belief. You Now have the floor, please enlighten us, with the real truth to the ORIGIONAL QUESTION. Please forgive me for tying this THREAD in a big knot. GOD BLESS |

87 | Divorced Do Christians Get Remarried? | 1 Cor 6:9 | lookinforacity | 205319 | ||
Hi John: This is the reason I ask. Romans 7:2 For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband. Romans 7:3 So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man. God Bless Jim |

88 | Divorced Do Christians Get Remarried? | 1 Cor 6:9 | lookinforacity | 205330 | ||
Hi Tamara: The answer to your question is, NO. Christians should not get remarried after a divorce. If you can find the words of the marriage ceremony. I have to qualify the answer though, because there are two types of marriage, that take place. 1) In a Church sanctioned by a Religion. That falls into the category of, in the sight of GOD. The person taking the Vows, fully understands, what they mean, in the eyes of the Religion. 2) In a Court, that is sanctioned by the State. In this type of marriage, GOD still sees, and holds us to the Vows taken, because marriage is HIS institution. But in a Civil Ceremony, they do not use the Line, In the sight of God. This was just for the purpose of distinction. We as the participants in a Marriage, are still held to the Vows. I think you will find in the Vows , the line, (Forsaking All Others), God does not like for us to get divorced, But he allows it, because of the Hardness of OUR hearts, as with the Jews. We are still held to the Vow (Forsaking All Others). as long as you do not remarry, for the rest of your life, it is ok, (not right) but ok. But the moment you do remarry, the VOW is then broken, and you are then held responsible. You at that moment, are an Adulterer. 31) It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement: 32) But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery. 33) Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths: 34) But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne: 35) Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King. 36) Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black. 37) But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil. It is better not to marry, but if you must, you will be held to the Vows you make. God does not take Vows lightly. God Bless Jim |

89 | homosexual brain wired that way at birth | 1 Cor 6:9 | lookinforacity | 205802 | ||
Hi believer53: Some people have the belief, Homosexuality is the most heinous sin a person can commit, because of the word abomination connected with it. Strange because when we read, verse 23 says Mammilla, is only confusion. Seems to me they are coequal, well if we look at the whole chapter, verse 6 through 23 everything mentioned is abomination. Verses 24 through 30 tell us WHY, because in so doing the LAND is DEFILED. We as Christians, need to start calling, the acts mentioned here for what they truly are. ALL OF THE CUSTOMES MENTIONED IN THIS CHAPTER, FALL UNDER THE HEADING OF IDOLITRY. Last but by no means least, look at the very last sentence in the chapter. "I AM THE LORD YOUR GOD" God telling them again, you shall have no other gods before ME. GOD BLESS Jim |

Hi Believer53: There is no,(NO) Homosexual GENE, science will never be able to prove anything. Homosexuality, is most definitely wrong, GOD, has the only valid opinion. God did know us in the womb. I believe, the growth of Homosexuality in our society, the acceptance of it by our society, is all in direct proportion to the Immorality of our society. I believe we as a society, are now, and have been for years, Sacrificing our Children to Molech, Our society, follows Darwin, and the Theory of Evolution, which is in direct opposition to God, and Creation. Society wants to believe a lie, so God is giving them strong delusion, because of their immoral,and abominable behavior. We are an Idolatrous Nation, Rom. 1:18 through 31 This verse sums up all that I have said, verse 32) Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them. To me the answer is a simple one, God has Cursed our Society, Nation Responsibility of that curse falls on us, because individual Religions, Denominations, Faiths, Churches, have fought this EVIL. But WE as the BODY of CHRIST, have not stood up, in the UNITY of His SPIRIT and fullness of HIS POWER, with JESUS being the head! When we put down our petty differences, coming together as HIS Church then, and only then, will the POWER of Satan be broken, thus releasing us from this CURSE. IN CHRIST Jim |

91 | Should Women Wear Hats? | 1 Cor 11:4 | lookinforacity | 204224 | ||
Subject: The Hat situation? Note: Hi Tamara: When I was a kid, the Catholic Church, had a rule about women wearing hats in Church, Im not sure, but I think they were the only church of the time that did. Although in those days hats were in, so maby women were wearing hats to other Churches, for that reason. Maby the closest you will be able to get to the answer you are looking for, is what the Catholic Church has put out concerning the issue of women wearing hats in the Church. They have changed their doctrin, and I would bet that there will be a pretty extensive decision on the matter. To go with the area of hats, I remember a time when the proper atire for women was a dress, then pants suits came out, the Churches didn't want to allow the wearing of pants suits in the Church either, but they lost the battle on that one , because of the women pushing the issue, by constantly wearing the pants suits to Church, the Churches gave in to the popular opinion, pants suits were then allowed. Well now, the pants suits have gone the way of the Dinosaur, and women are wearing whatever they want. When the pants suits went out of VOGUE, the Church didnt step up and say were going back to the wearing of dresses for women. Is it a sign of the times, or a shift in the Moral values of our society, people that go to Church, bringing into the Church, the morals of the society, The Church has the right, as the moral compass for not only the Church, but also socitey, to not let things like this change, if they have been doctrin, then why the change? But does the Church have the power? Sorry Tamara, Just wanted you to see, things have changed alot in just my life time, for who knows what reason, again my advice, is to look for some kind of decision the Catholich Church has made, I'm sure they will have it documented more than anyone else, because it was a 20th centry issue. I didnt post this the other day because I thought you wanted things only out of the Bible, or some ones oppinion from long long ago, this isnt very religious, just practical. Hope that it helps you |

Hi Librarian: The answer to your question is NO. 1Cor.12: Lists the gifts, there operation, and the reasons for them. Eph.4: Does the same thing but it states, that they are for the perfecting of the Saints, and the work of the Minestry. So we see all of the gifts are for the body, but there are some of the gifts, for the body of Christ only, there are also some of those gifts for ministering to those in the world. In so doing we are fulfilling the commision we have been given as christians. Luke 10: In Heaven, Jesus will be all in all, there will be no more need for the Gifts of the Spirit, as we know them, and experiance them today |

Hi Doc: In the answer I gave to Librarian, I listed Luke:10. When Jesus sent out the 70. I intentionally left out the referance to Mtt.10, because of the admonition to the disciples to not go to the Gentiles, but only to the lost sheep of Israel. How are we to minister to the world, unless we have been endued with the same power they were. If we believe we have received the Holy Spirit, at Baptism, then we HAVE BEEN endued with power as they were. We as believers,have been told by Jesus, to do as we have seen him do, and far greater. How can that be accomplished, unless we have that POWER residing in Eartehin Vessles. Paul lists for us the gifts of the Spirit. 1Cor.12 All of those gifts listed, are for the Body of Christ, are we at that point to believe that Jesus, and God himself, didnt intend for us to take that power to the lost of the world. 1Cor.2:4-5 Paul didnt preach to them in the wisdom of Men, but in the power, and demonstration of the Spirit, so that there faith wouldnt be in the wisdom of men but in the POWER of GOD. 1Cor.4:20 For the Kingdom of God is not in word, but in POWER. |

Hi Doc: You're right, I missed it, I looked for it in the Gateway Bible, and it didnt come up. Sorry for the inconvenience. One last thing, did you ever answer the question put forth by Librarian? We apparently have a differance of opinion, dont you think Librarian should hear both sides of the issue. All you would have to do is post your belief, rather than having a debate with me on theological beliefs. Then let the person who asked the question, decide which answer they wanted to accept. |

Hi again Doc: Sorry about whatever misunderstandings I may have had about this Forum. I have taken the time to go back to your first note to me, (Because it is all about seeking the truth.) Maby this will make my position a little more clear, please understand that these beliefs are soly my own, this is MY opinion on what the scripture says, and the way I interpret them. How are we to minister to those in the world, if we cannot use any of the gifts of the spirit? As Jesus is our example, he used those gifts? Or are we to assume, Jesus was the Christ, and therefore Diety, and being part of the Godhead, was not an example to us at all, on the grounds that he was God Incarnate, thus it was His Holy Spirit. So he could not be an example to us, on how to perform in the gifts of the spirit. Although it could be argued, that Jesus was in all aspects, a man (human) with all the weaknesses, and frailties as we are. On those grounds, plus the fact, he had the Holy Spirit Come down upon him like a dove,during Baptism, can we assume he was also baptised in the Holy Spirit? The same way we receive. John 1:29 The next day he *saw Jesus coming to him and *said, "Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! John 1:30 "This is He on behalf of whom I said, 'After me comes a Man who has a higher rank than I, for He existed before me.' John 1:31 "I did not recognize Him, but so that He might be manifested to Israel, I came baptizing in water." John 1:32 John testified saying, "I have seen the Spirit descending as a dove out of heaven, and He remained upon Him. John 1:33 "I did not recognize Him, but He who sent me to baptize in water said to me, 'He upon whom you see the Spirit descending and remaining upon Him, this is the One who baptizes in the Holy Spirit.' John 1:34 "I myself have seen, and have testified that this is the Son of God." As another example there is Paul, he ministered to the people, using the Gifts of the Spirit He was fully Man, a Jew of Jews, of the tribe of Benjimen, a persicuter of the faith, but we see that God, used him in a mighty way. God not being a respector of persons, filled him with HIS Holy Spirit. Acts 19:11 God was performing extraordinary miracles by the hands of Paul, Acts 19:12 so that handkerchiefs or aprons were even carried from his body to the sick, and the diseases left them and the evil spirits went out. |

Hi Doc: I give up, Your right we are to only minister to the world in our own power. Talk them into salvation, by cunning craftyness. Then not worry if they ever get baptised or not , because the gifts of the Spirit, arent in functin today, they were as we all know dispensational, and the dispensation has been over for some 1900 yrs. Sorry for apperantly waisting everyones time. This is my last post on this subject. GOD BLESS |

99 | what about doing the work Jesus did ? | 1 Cor 12:28 | lookinforacity | 205539 | ||
Hi John: Just a thought. 13) Ye know how through infirmity of the flesh I preached the gospel unto you at the first. You use this verse to say Paul was sick,it says infirmity, then we go to verse 14, where he makes a statement to them about how they didn't despise him or reject him. If he was sick as you suppose, then why would they,despise him, reject him. Unless it was the Plague.Can you explain verse 14.If not , then you cannot make that kind of an assumption as to his being sick. 14) And my temptation which was in my flesh ye despised not, nor rejected; but received me as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus. Exodus 4:10 And Moses said unto the LORD, O my LORD, I am not eloquent, neither heretofore, nor since thou hast spoken unto thy servant: but I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue. I can make an assumption and say I believe Paul had a Stutter, as it is also believed Moses had, I would rather believe they were both slow of speech.It makes more sense when we read about the despising, and rejecting. Perhaps your right, and he was leprous, then all would be explained. But alas it only says Infirmity. Ps. I know you will ask so, where Paul tells Timothy, to drink a little wine,Timothy could have been having stomach trouble from eating the foods in that area, ie. heartburn. There isnt any need for that to be prayed for. Is there? Have a GOD BLESSED DAY Jim |
