Much of the problems confronting us is because of our own problems with the doctrine we are faced with. For example, some believe that church officers are not to marry. However, Scripture doesn't teach that.
v3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.
Paul wrote that meats offered to idols are nothing in 1 Corinthians 8 ...
1 Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth.
2 And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know.
3 But if any man love God, the same is known of him.
4 As concerning therefore the eating of those things that are offered in sacrifice unto idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is none other God but one.
...9 But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to them that are weak.
10 For if any man see thee which hast knowledge sit at meat in the idol's temple, shall not the conscience of him which is weak be emboldened to eat those things which are offered to idols;
11 And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died?
12 But when ye sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ.
13 Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to offend.
We must be careful in our liberties as saints. Be joyful Brethren, for the joy of the LORD is our strength.
Merry Christmas and have a prosperous New Year; enjoy the food provided and blessed by our SAVIOR KING.
May our LORD GOD, continue to shine HIS glorious face on all on this forum.
Most likely to avoid eating any meat in case it was offered to an idol. But it could mean being vegetarian, claiming that in the beginning man was not to eat meat. But that was changed by God with Noah after the Flood.
I had to read your 2nd sentence a couple times. If you don't do what is not taught in the Bible, is that like saying we should do what is taught in the Bible? If so, I agree.
May CHRIST IN US grace us with HIS wisdom and HIS understanding.
1 Timothy 4:8 ...having promise of the life (Christ in us) that now is, and of that (Christ in us) which is to come.
1 Timothy 4:10 For therefore we do labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the SAVIOUR OF ALL MEN, especially those that believe.
1 Timothy 4:11 These things COMMAND AND TEACH.
Matthew 5:9 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these LEAST commandments, and shall TEACH MEN SO, he shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and TEACH THEM shall be greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
"For bodily exercise profiteth little". It is how it reads, NO exercise! We live in a society where sports and physical fitness is praised, idolized. Nowhere in the Bible we see Christians doing exercise or sports, unless it was a soldier/police. We are not supposed to waste time doing exercise or training. We are called to do FASTING, and to eat in a disciplined way; To avoid gluttony.
I Also don't understand where you get this from in the Bible. The first instance of anyone receiving the Holy Spirit(before Pentacost in Acts 2, which came from a mighty wind) is the risen Jesus at the end of the book of John. When He breathed on His disciples and said "Receive ye the Holy Ghost".
Also Jesus never told His disciples, or anyone, they had to do anything to others for them to receive the Holy Spirit. The Lord reads hearts and knows who is ready to receive the Holy Ghost.
As Chris elaborated about the laying on of hands. Jesus Christ is the only one who gives the Holy Spirit. I understand there may be some people in the world who say they have the Holy Ghost and maybe not. Through experience I knew something happened to me after giving my life to the Lord. As my entire life changed from the inside out. If someone doesn't think I have been blessed with the Holy Ghost that's fine. That does not change the truth. No person laid their hands on me to receive this gift from above.
All praise and glory be to our Father in Heaven through Jesus Christ our Lord.
If you could cite some proofs of what you have said, "the only way to receive the holy spirit is from a true minister in God's true church,( the church Jesus started), with submersion and the laying on of hands."
I know that the apostles received the Holy Spirit when the Spirit came upon them on the day of Pentecost ( Acts 2), & the apostles were instrumental in imparting the Spirit through the laying on of hands as the early Church was being formed, but where do we find that subsequent to this apostolic agency, the laying of hands ever imparted the Spirit?
We do have Scriptures as 1 Timothy 4:14 (gift given via the presbytery, which was not the gift of the Spirit) but do we ever see the Holy Spirit being imparted through the agency of men (aside from the establishing of the Church via the apostles)?
If you do believe that the Spirit can only be received from "a true minister in God's True Church", then from where did that minister receive the gift? Should not a full examination be done on him to ensure that he is capable of imparting the Spirit? Of course, we would have to go to every person before that minister to ensure that there was no failure by anyone in receiving the Holy Spirit. Therefore, we would have to go all the way back to the apostles to ensure this fact, thereby making the Church minister qualified to do so.
Or, what features have to be evident before a person becomes a "true minister"? If it's the evidence of the Holy Spirit, then could not somebody (maybe, a nobody) sitting quietly in the pews, also come forward to administer this gift?
I ask these questions simply to query such a statement that you've made. I believe that the laying on of hands by the elders (minister) is not for imparting the Holy Spirit but for identification & confirmation of a believer's position in the Church or being sent out to minister. And that only the apostles had that authority & enabling to do so - no one else.
It is proven in your Bible that the only way to receive the holy spirit is from a true minister in God's true church,( the church Jesus started), with submersion and the laying on of hands.
This will be a very in-depth search of the bible and many refuse to put forth the effort.
There is some literature on the subject to direct you to the Bible verses . Mind you it's not mans interpretation. Its in your Bible.
For so many thinking they have the Holy Spirit
See in revaluation where it said the whole world is deceived. Satin is the god of this world as stated in the Bible. He is fighting every word in the Bible and every attempt to adhere to it in the government today. God bless all.
Exodus 3 v 15 Comments by Alex on the TRINITY, Why i believe in the Trinity. There is only 1 God the Father but this 1 God the Father had a Son whom he instructs ALL the angels to worship . The Father wd be breaking the 1 st commandment if he instructed All the angels to WORSHIP the Son if he were not God the Son . In Hebrews 1 it says unto the Son, he says thy throne O GOD is forever and ever etc. This is my beloveth Son in whom i am well pleased. But the SON is not impotent he has a seed to sow which is his word saying to whom the word came it made them Gods plural ,thus we see the Son is gona be a Father, the Child is the H.G. tHE GRANSON IN RANK WITH Jacob .Thus we see 3 father son and granson just like Abraham Issac and Jacob . Thats y he told Moses i am the God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob that is my name forever and my memorial to ALL GENERATIONS, Father son and granson resulting in the nation of ISRAEL. God almighty cd NOT tell Moses that his name was Abraham Issac and Jacob if his kingdom were not a Father Son and Granson scenario , A FAMILY . Just like the Davidic Kingdom was Jesse, David and Solomon a family . Thats y the scripture speaks of an Israel of God, Its God Almighty that wants a posterity and Christ was just his 1st born of many brethren impling a family a heavenly family An ISRAEL OF GOD Thats y he told Moses that his name was Abraham Issac and Jacob prophetic of an Israel of God that y Jesus is saying that which is born of the spirit is spirit thats the H.G THE Child of PROMISE, THE Israel of God, we sinners are just a joint heir with the H.G That heavenly Jacob, Isaiah speaks of in 49 . If ya dont understand the abrahamic trinity ya will not understand the heavenly trinity . Abraham offered up his only son Issac just as God Almighty offered up his only son Jesus THAT PROVES THE TRINITY the Godhead, That ram caught in the thicket by his horns was symbolic of Christ, his Crown of Thorns. They remembered th ram caught in thicket when saw Jesus .
I feel to respond to your post as this does seem to come up often today. Sometimes with some bad "myths" being made up also. So yes, Yeshua(in English phonetic) is the Lord's name in Hebrew. I believe the original was "Yehoshua" then shortened to "Yeshua". As Greek was, I'll say, more popular around the time of Christ. If you translate Yeshua letter by letter into Greek you get "Iesous"(English phonetic). Some people may believe Iesous Christos (Jesus Christ) had it's origin in the New Testament. Actually, 2 centuries before Christ's birth it(Iesous) was already in the Septuagint which was the first Greek translation of the Jewish Old Testament. Then getting to Latin Iesous would be Iesus. Then as we get to English. As the letter "J" is only about 400 years old. In the 1611 KJV Bible the Lord's name is still Iesus. I believe it was around 1629 when they started using the "J" and Jesus came about.
So as it does sound different than Yeshua, or Joshua, it does carry the same meaning of the name. As it's translational roots trace all the way back to "Yehoshua". People may not know that Hebrew is the only language that is semantic not just phonetic. As I see people braking the word Jesus or Iesous down trying to say it has different meanings and what not. This is not true and Hebrew is the only language that has that ability. As my name Richard. Should this mean I should have a lot of money or be rich? No. Some words, and names, can be made up ,or put together, but this does not mean you can cut every word or name up, in any language, and think you can find it's meaning.
I hope this helps a little with your question. Jesus Christ is Lord and that is the name I was saved by. If people want to call Him by His Hebrew spoken name Yeshua that's fine. Hopefully people don't think this will bring them closer to the Lord. And may our Father Bless those people who are cursing others for using Jesus Christ. Amen.
Yeshua is the LORDS birth given name . Why then is the name Jesus used in millions of conversions? Practically , the name of Yeshua is non existent in Christian circles an when it is used it almost comes under attack because It is the name of Jesus that is above every name? (Acts4:12) - which brings me to my second point , In the original language this scripture would say Yeshua, but then isn't the whole of humanity being a bit deceived by using another name?
Lisa M: Paul's references to son are made because he was instrumental in bringing both men to Christ and thus creating a new life for them - the spiritual equivalent of being a biological father.
I don't know what the originial scripture said, but in this case I believe the meaning is quite clear.
This verse is vital if you are seeking truth . Let the scriptures answer your questions, Ask of God in Jesus his Sons name to help you .
Never take the counsel of men over scriptures.
Also don't rush to conclusions, the Spirit of God goes deep into the things of God that man can not enter into . So meditation and slow thorough thought are needed . It's not like a novel it takes time and effort to hear Gods voice in scriptures.
Jesus said my sheep hear my voice and they follow me , his words are from God and are spiritual .
You can not figure God out , He must reveal himself to you and He does it mainly through the scriptures His word by the Spirit of truth .
I hope this helps you ! It sure has me the word of God is better than fine Gold !
Praying in the spirit is by the Spirit or through the Spirits leading and teaching . But always in the Spirit . We can do nothing apart from the Holy Spirit , he reveals all truth to us . And Who Jesus is and the father is , but He does not seek people to worship or pray too him that I'm aware of , if anyone has a verse to say other I'd like to see it .
I have heard some say it's ok to pray to the Holy Spirit , and even some will worship Him !
What says the scriptures?
Can anyone show a verse that teaches or practices praying TOO the spirit ?
Multitudes of verses praying through the spirit , very much not the same thing .
Read John 16 v 13 , 14 , 15
The Holy Spirit never draws attention to himself but to The Lord Jesus and Father .
In 1 Timothy 4. .1
Now the spirit speaketh expressly, that in latter times some shall depart from the faith , giving heed to seducing spirits , and doctrines of devils .
Yes we are in the latter times , so even some can be tricked into going after these false imitation s of the Holy Spirit . So these spirits are more persuasive than the written word . Yes they are real indeed .
Our only safeguard is the truth of the scriptures .
False prophets will be under their control and be able to do many things supernatural. Yet false . To deceive people from the truth .
At one time RCC forbid Their priests to marry , interesting!
The Spirit of truth will lead you into all truth , but these seducing spirits will attempt to deceive if you do not hold to the word of God in truth .
Anything contrary to sound doctrine is error . It evaluates the spirits . Read 1 John 4 .1,2,3,4,5,6.... 15 ,16 read the whole chapter
Nephillim part 1 Who are the Sons of God in Genesis 6 before the flood of Noah?
Sons of God (ANGELS) shout before the world began - Adam man came 6 days later.
Job 38:4 - Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding.
Job 38:5 - Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it?
Job 38:6 - Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof;
Job 38:7 - When the morning stars sang together, and all the SONS OF GOD sons of God shouted for joy?
How can the sons of God be men since they were shouting for joy when the earth was created?
Adam man did not come till 6 days AFTER the earth was made.
Adam was a Son of God since he created him -
Angels are SONS of God since God created them and was their Father
Jesus is the only BEGOTTEN SON of GOD -
Believers DO NOT become Sons of God till they are born again of the Holy Spirit only in the new testament
So were all the SONS OF GOD of Genesis 6 the men who were ALL righteous?
the DAUGHTERS OF MEN were all women who were ALL wicked and evil?
So all the men were godly and the women were evil ?
Really can we believe this: all the men were godly and the women were evil
then the godly men and wicked women got married and believers and unbelievers had children who were GIANTS
so where are these giants today? Playing for the NBA?
2 Samuel 21:20 - And there was yet a battle in Gath, where was a man of great stature, that had on every hand six fingers, and on every foot six toes, four and twenty in number; and he also was born to the giant.
so see any unbelievers running around with 6 fingers and toes?
then the Lord commanded all the they be killed
1 Chron 20:4 - And it came to pass after this, that there arose WAR WAR WAR at Gezer with the Philistines; at which time Sibbechai the Hushathite slew Sippai, that was of the children of the giant: and they were subdued.
Nephillim part 3 we the Canaanites / giants like Goliath just evil people like the rest of us?
Zephaniah 2:5 Woe unto the inhabitants of the sea coast, the nation of the Cherethites! the word of the LORD is against you; O Canaan, the land of the Philistines, I will even destroy thee, that there shall be no inhabitant.
So please explain, with a wealth of Bible knowledge, why God commanded Israel to exterminate all the Canaanites and the giant Phillistines (Goliath and David)
Deut 20:17 - But thou shalt utterly destroy them; namely, the Hittites, and the Amorites, the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites; as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee:
Num 21:3 - And the LORD hearkened to the voice of Israel, and delivered up the Canaanites;
and they utterly destroyed them and their cities: and he called the name of the place Hormah.
Why did the Lord not tell Joshua to please send evangelists to tell them the ways of the Lord?
No, instead the Lord commanded they all be killed.
Zechariah 14:21 - Yea, every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah shall be holiness unto the LORD of hosts:
and all they that sacrifice shall come and take of them, and seethe therein:
and in that day there shall be no more the Canaanite in the house of the LORD of hosts.
NO QUOTES FROM ENOCH or anything except the Bible
Read again...no more the Canaanite in the house of the LORD of hosts.
The view of the sethite Adamite sons of God makes the Lord sound like a homicidal maniac.............
