81 | Alter Calls? | Rom 10:9 | meta | 209682 | ||
Do you really believe that I looked for something to be disagreeable about? Do you think I searched through old archives to drag something up. I have asked forgivenes of two others who responded to me. I cannot respond to you in that way. You are only adding to the hurt and the insult. Please read my other responses | ||||||

I did not say you used the word of God flippantly. I said you used your words and opinions flippantly. I am new to the forum. I am not new to the scriptures. I have used this as a study help for years but have never ventured into the forum. It was not my intention to reply to an old post . If I had realized that I would have assumed that you had grown since then. I understand that my response was over the top. I was hurt. Do you wonder why? You repeated that we are not saved by asking Jesus into our hearts so again you try to nullify the process of my salvation. Jesus Christ understands our hearts. If we say the wrong words(in your opinion) but want the right thing(to know and love Him forever)He will respond to our hearts. The reason I used Zaccheus is that He said "Behold, Lord, half of my possessions I will give to the poor, and if I have defrauded anyone of anything, I will give back four times as much." And Jesus said to him, "Today salvation has come to this house, because he, too, is a son of Abraham. Jesus Christ is salvation. He came to give us eternal life. Not to require it. Would He pay such a painfull price for us then pursue us just to have people argue over what words to use. The scriptures are given to us by God. Jesus is God. God lives in us. He is the living word. When Jesus said to the pharisees Love your enemies and pray for those that despitefuly use you. He was responding to an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. He blew people away because they thought they had it figured out. they could easily have said where is it written in the scriptures. In fact they were adhering to the scriptures. In your first post, that I responded to, you said " where does it say" Does that mean if we do not use a certain method or words that are found in the scriptures we are not saved or our works burn up. The day I said Jesus come into my heart He did and the angels rejoiced. But you insulted that process. I am sorry for my excess. You have said I am sorry that what was said upset you. Why do you say what was said rather than "what I said". Can you not own what you did. I admit my sin. I ask your forgiveness. Selah |

Excuse me! I asked Jesus into my heart 39 years ago and yes it was a sewer but He changed it. He came into a sewer when He came in the flesh to save you. He went into a sewer to set a host of Captives free. If you have a formula for Salvation That does not include Him coming into a sewer I would like to know what it is. In the new covenant where does He write His laws. That's right, your heart. How Can I love the Lord with all of my heart and all of my soul and all of my strength if He doesnt come into those areas and change them. I Love Jesus Christ more today than I ever have. I am growing in the knowledge of Him more everyday, I pray for the sick and they are healed I have lead many others to Christ, and yet not I it was the grace of God. I am offended and insulted that you and so many others like you use your words and opinions so flippantly. Get a life. His Life and let Love rule you. | ||||||

Nice job Charis, It is easy to be critical rather than to look for where the life is and bless that. Coming into agreement with what God is doing (rather than what He is not doing) is powerful. Add intercession to the mix and reinforcing what He is doing is of great benefit as well. I would also intercede for more of what God is doing. This might well result in people having a more clear opportunity to decide and confess. One important aspect of such intercession is that it not be aimed at changing the pastor. That moves into christian witchcraft. It can indeed end up changing a persons methods but that is left with God to bring about His will however He chooses. The important thing is to pray led by the spirit to release the burden He has put on this persons heart to see people saved. |

86 | why do we have to call Jesus -Lord Jesus | Rom 10:9 | meta | 209648 | ||
My attempt to answer the question was not to steer the person anywhere accept to Jesus Christ. I wanted to give them some idea of why we do call Him Lord rather than focusing on the word "lord". He is both the Author and the finisher of my faith. What would Zaccheus say about all this intellectualizing. | ||||||
87 | why do we have to call Jesus -Lord Jesus | Rom 10:9 | meta | 209606 | ||
You don't have to call Jesus Lord. You can call Him Lovely, kind, generous, beautiful, Shepherd, God, King, Savior, lamb of God, My Victory, Lover of my soul, My elder Brother, My Life, The Truth, The Life, The way, Holy, Commander of the armies of God, Messiah, Deliverer, My strong Tower, My Righteousnes and many many many more awsome and wonderful names. Who is He to You? call Him that. If the question is in reference to "if you confess Jesus as Lord" then the answer is a little different. These are not magic words or some kind of specific prayer or incantation. What does Lord mean. The word Lord is translated from the greek "kurios" meaning Master, Lord, Lord of Lords, sir, and owner. You could call Him Owner. The point is this. You confess this with understanding not mindless repeating of a word or phrase. Do you understand that He came to earth. That Before the beginning of time He was. The Holy Spirit Caused a virgin girl to become pregnant by a miracle from God. Jesus had no earthly father. He was born from a woman to exist in the likeness of sinfull flesh. He was tempted like us however He had a pure spirit that was alive unto God and was God although He used none of the power and priveledge of God to escape any human suffering. In fact He suffered mockery, rejection torture, having His flesh ripped off of His body and Spikes driven through His wrists and many more sufferings. The powerfull thing is that he chose to suffer rather than to disobey His Heavenly Father even one time. He was perfectly obedient even to death on a cross. The world was made by Him. Now He came into the world and overcame sin and death. He is Master of the universe and did nothing to deserve any of this. You and I on the other hand have already many times been disobedient to God, Parents even our own beliefs. That leaves us in a place of the penalty of death. He was able to come to the one demanding justice, that is the law, and fulfill the payment of your disobedience and mine. We receive freely the reward of His obedience , Eternal life without sin or sorrow in the presence of our loving creator. What would you like to call Him. When you choose to submit your will to His knowing that He cares more for you than you care for yourself. When you know that His painfull death and 33 years of suffering to show his perfect obedience all the while looking forward to the day of His reward, Giving you eternal life, protecting you from evil and the opportunity to show the world and the spirits how much He loves you. When you choose to submit your will and turn your life over to Him, You can use any words you like and you will be saved. |

89 | Ezekiels's Temple Ever Built? | Ezek 40:5 | meta | 207333 | ||
The temple in Ezekial's vision was never built. God did not instruct anyone to build it therefore it would be presumptuous and sin to attempt to do so. It would also be impossible. Ez 47:1-12 A river flowed from the sanctuary. trees grew beside it . the trees fruit would never fail and their leaves would never wither. they will bear every month and their leaves will be for healing. Please see Rev 22:2. It is important to acknowledge that these were both visions. A supernatural experience with clear visual and audio experiences. So clear that they were described in detail and at great length. . In these visions the attempt on Gods part is to communicate something from His Spirit to our spirit. That reality that revelation is important in shaping what we believe and what we value and who we are. He will communicate something different to everyone who reads it. One of the most impotant things I take from it is that there is a river of life that flows from the throne of God and from the Lamb. It brings life wherever it goes and the leaves of the trees that grow on its banks are for the healing of the nations. Read Heb 9:11-28 Regarding not only the temple but Jesus as th one true high priest. His body as the sacrafice and His blood as the offering for sin. Jesus Christ the ghreat high priest had to die and be ressurected and then be the only one able to carry his own blood into the holy place for you and me. | ||||||
