961 | obedience ahd sacracfice | John 3:2 | lionheart | 144525 | ||
Jesus states it clearly and perfectly in Jn 14:23 that if we love Him we will keep his Word.When we get this on straight then we will and can be sacrificial in our walk with God. Sacrifice starts with the heart,but we can never be truly sacrificial in our walk if we dont have the heart to keep His Word. Thats where it starts,pretty simple,not always easy but simple. Obedience is what Got desires. If we do that everythinge else will fall into place. In Christ, lionheart |

962 | ... | Acts 11:26 | lionheart | 144476 | ||
Brother we all need to learn to view each other through the eyes of God,meaning we should look upon one another as God does and act accordingly.At the end of each and every day when it's time to put it down we need to look at Gods Word and ask ourselves,did my life and believing line up with His Word and if not change accordingly. We cant bend Gods Word to fit our lives,we must bend our lives to fit his Word. Stay close to God brother. In Christ, lionheart |

Thank you EdB for saying what it seems like forever I've been trying to say.Acts 2:38 We got the full deal when we were saved.The job was complete.Col 2:10 We have no more or less of the Holy Spirit today than we did the day we were saved.It's time for us to collectivly get our act together and instead of squabling over percieved differences real or not and get our heads into the Word of God.Believe it or not folks we can be unified.But it wont happen as long as we hold on to personal bias and opinion. My brothers and sisters Gods Word is simple,He new it had to be if us stubborn human beings were ever going to understand his plan for us.Lets allow God to speak,he does it so much better than us.Gods plan was for a unified body not a divded one. Always your brother in Christ, lionheart |

965 | Second hand faith is workless! | James 2:14 | lionheart | 144009 | ||
Thanx Dear, Thats what I was thinking I just wanted to make sure.I dont like sticking my foot in my mouth.The greek word for faith here is pistis-faith,faithfulness,belief,trust,with an implication that action based on that trust may follow. pistis conotates action. Works may not save us but they evidence what we do or do not have.Bottom line faith without the evidence to back it up is no faith at all.People often mistake intalectual or mental ascent with faith which it is not. Your faith,Docs,Rays may encourage and even inspire me to get closer to God but I cant live on or by your faith.I must have a practicing faith that only comes with a living personal relationship with Jesus Christ. I hope this helps,God bless you my sister. lionheart |

966 | ANYONE WHO HAS BEEN WAITING UPON HE | Bible general Archive 2 | lionheart | 143619 | ||
Dear sister could you please clarify this with some scripture. Mtt 28:20 Jesus tells us he is with us always. Acts 1:9-11 Jesus is taken up to heaven,He goes back to the Father. He did leave.In Acts 2 We have the birth of the church.This is where people got saved.Acts 2:38 People recieved the Holy Spirit. As a result of Acts 2:38 it is now Col 1:26,27 Christ in you the hope of Glory.It's not that he is behind you,dear heart he lives within you and all who truly can call him Lord and Savior. So dear sister where we walk he walks because he lives within us.And dear heart I say this with all the compassion I can muster,cause God only knows he has shown me more compassion in this life than any one man deserves.But when God shows us something it will never contradict his Word,it will always fit with what his Word already said. Always your brother in Christ, lionheart PS- He is comming back to get us. |

968 | need to know more on Matthew 7:13-14 | Matt 7:13 | lionheart | 143555 | ||
Not one bit my brother,The focus is narrow as it should be,that doesnt make us narrow it just means the focus is narrow ,specific.Jn 14:6 is something that we must never compromise.So my brother in answer to your question your focus, not to narrow at all. In Christ, lionheart |

969 | Crucified soul | Rom 6:6 | lionheart | 143533 | ||
Brad thanx for the post.I went to Romans 6:6 and did a little homework.Ther are three greek words here that are pretty self explanitory Old,the old-palios, self,human being,person-anthropos,slave,bondage-douleo. I dont see any biblical referance to crucified soul.Hank I must agree with you psuedo,nonbiblical terminology only leads to confusion.I truly believe that anything can be explained within a biblical frame.Nuff said. In Christ, lionheart |

970 | jcsav,The gift of the Spirit preaching? | Acts 2:14 | lionheart | 143467 | ||
Guys whats going on here.It's not about who's right but whats right. Romans 3:4 May it never be!Rather,let God be found true,though every man found a liar,as it is written,"That Thou mightest be justified in Thy words,And mightest prevail When Thou art judged." Guys lets let God be true instead of banging heads with each other.Gods Word has the answers,and even better they are the right ones. I think the bible is pretty clear about things even if I dont understand.With time and humbleness of heart God will give all of us the understanding we need to be effective men and women of God. In Christ, lionheart PS-Pray that I myself will paticularly take this to heart. |

971 | Saved by belief or belief and baptism? | NT general Archive 1 | lionheart | 143456 | ||
Faith,belief in the biblical sense have nothing to do with mental assent and everything to do with repentance and the actions reflective of an actual faith in God. Good hearing from you. lionheart |

972 | Saved by belief or belief and baptism? | NT general Archive 1 | lionheart | 143442 | ||
NewCovenant7777,be careful when you say faith and belief are not synonymous. Depending on the greek usage they very well can be.The greek word pistis is used on several occasions for the words believe,belief,faith, usage and context become very important in cases like this. In Christ, lionheart |

ngkh,Good day and God bless.I'm relateable to what your saying here. If this is helping you to keep the Word of God embeded in your heart and mind all well and good,Keep on keeping on.But let me encourage you to get your face in the bible every day.We are more apt to retain things when we can see it with our own eyes and take the time we actually need to get it into our hearts.I say this only because I myself have always had to work twice as hard to get things in my head,so I'm grateful for anything that will help me to do that.But I've found over the years that there is no substitute for having the bible right there in front of you.I understand this may be challenging,sometimes I gotta go over things numerous times before I get it,but it always pays off.The time will come when memorizing things will not be the beast that it seems to be.Besides memorization isn't always remembering something verbatum,but it is about having Gods Word embeded in our hearts and minds.Check out 2 Timothy 2:15 and Psalms 119:11 I think these will help. In Christ, lionheart |

976 | Why do they prey for the deads salvation | 1 Cor 3:15 | lionheart | 143286 | ||
Emmaus,I will agree with you at death we are either saved or not saved. At death the issue has already been desided.Jesus is either Lord or not. By this time we have already made our choice,one way or the other. 2 Corinthians 5:10 Says that we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ,The greek word here is bema-transelated judicial court,judges seat,this can refer to human or divine judgment. Point being,this will be a time of accountability.Read the whole verse.At this time you are already saved or not.What one has done as a believer will be brought to light.Only the things we did that glorified God will survive. 1 Corinthians 3:11-15.There is no final purging at death,you are either in or your out. The only thing accomplished when praying for the dearly departed is to possibly bring some closure for the one offering the prayer.It accomplishes nothing for the one who has already passed away. In Christ, lionheart |

977 | Did Jesus baptize with water? | John 4:1 | lionheart | 143278 | ||
No problemo my friend.We spend so much time arguing and debating with oneanother we miss the trees for the forest. When we go to Gods Word and just let it speak we get answers,then things become crystal clear.It takes the guesswork out of every thing. I'm glad this helped. In Christ, lionheart |

979 | jcsav, What to you mean? | Acts 9:3 | lionheart | 143125 | ||
Goodmorning sister, The greek word for baptize is the word baptizo-to baptize,wash. There are other variations of the same Greek word (3).The Holy Spirit is what you get as a result of your salvation.Look at verse 38 of Acts 2 The greek word baptizo refers to water.The Indwelling of Holy Spirit is the result of there repentance and confession (Ro 10:9)of Jesus Christ as Lord.Why would Jesus in Matt 28 tell the 12 to baptize in the name of the Father,the Son,and the Holy Spirit. Why would Jesus Comand them to do something that wasnt important? The word baptizo in Acts 2:38 is not the baptizm in the Holy Spirit.I dont think we have a problem here we just gotta let Gods Word speak for itself. Your brother in Christ, lionheart |

980 | jcsav, What to you mean? | Acts 9:3 | lionheart | 143096 | ||
Dear sister, Remember that this occured before Pentecost,remember that in Mtt 28:18 Jesus stated that all authority had been given to him,so he could do what he did here. But notice in the next verse he tells them to baptize.Now read Acts 2, we cant take baptizm out of the equation. In Christ, lionheart |
