    These are not "ranks" its simply a way for our computer to know the difference of which member can access which Section/Forum     Seekers,unbelievers & guests have the Outer Court to interact with Believers and that Section is reserved for them to ask questions & begin Threads as "Believers " have every other Section to do so....They can read our other Sections but the program will only allow a "member" status to post comments
   Its simple,the more post you acquire ,the more your posting privileges are enhanced......just by participation "posts" accumulate
Now for our Sections/Forums.....lets start here...the Inner Court is where we give God Glory,so the Q & A is for questions regarding our Christian Faith,Scripture & everything else that Glorifies God    The Outer Court also has a Q & A where Seekers can ask us questions about our Faith    Q & A is not a Discussion Forum it is an answer only Forum
  WE have an Upper Room where we can have General Discussions...not necessarily regarding Christianity......questions such as the one here or account/computer  can be answered by anyone on the Ministry Team by PMing the member or starting a Thread in the "tech Lounge"
   Perhaps this will help as a description  of our Sections/Forums & many Sections describe the purpose in pinned Topics under each Section

   Welcome to Worthy                    wrong "Lazarus"   You are confusing Jesus friend Lazarus,Martha & Marys brother with a beggar named Lazarus,,,,,,,
THe Word of God does not mention anything about the soul or spirit of Lazarus                                With love-in Christ,Kwik

    Great question.....No,we don't get to choose,once we start doing that it is a sure sign,a red flag,that we are not walking in spirit & in Truth & leaning on  the carnal heart & mind     If we keep our eyes on Jesus,pray without ceasing & stay in Relationship with Him,we access the Heart & Mind of Jesus......then His LOVE pour6s out of us...........that LOVE that only HE can give through us by Power of Holy Spirit,WHO INDWELLS
   In the flesh I can easily find many who are quite difficult to love,or even like!!!!When this happens I look to Jesus & I see an eternity of hell & torment and suddenly I am grieved,my Spirit is grieved,I can't help but LOVE.....do the worst of the worst of the worst of hideous atrocities warrant ETERNAL punishment...a serial killer that murdered tons of people for 50 years....compared to ETERNITY,maybe a 1000 yrs of punishment but ETERNITY?    That keeps my judgemental mind of flesh out of the WAy of HIS Loving ,Compassionate,Forgiving WAY                                                   With love-in Christ,Kwik

   Welcome to Worthy.......the thing to do is to read Gods Word and if the "post" you read is in line with that then it is good & sound but if the Witten Word is contrary to that it doesn't matter how convincing it maybe,,,,,lets see what God has to say about repentance...
As we can see "repentance" is not about "feeling guilt" but the desire to change from sinful ways,the repentant man has both the desire to be forgiven & the willingness to change because he is "convicted" not condemned....                                      With love-in Christ,Kwik

   Welcome to Worthy,I am very glad God has lead you here to us & I do hope you come to realize how He is drawing unto Himself as you are(& always have been?) "Looking for LOVE in all the wrong places"........we can almost always expect rejection,failed relationships,disapproval & all kinds of disappointments from people....we ALL fall short of the Glory of God
    Now that you are an adult you can see things in a little clearer perspective & hopefully put away the childish mentality with childhood,,,,,our parents love us(usually) but most times we may not be loved how we would like to be loved and people cannot always meet our expectations because they are simply not capable,we have to accept people for who they are & also as they are....that is how God loves us,just as we are and also,He came to earth,loved us,suffered ,died & paid our penalty as we were yet IN sin......how many people would give their lives for the bad guy?Jesus did because God knows the Plans He has for YOU & what you can BE in Christ!!!We cannot do anything without Him,we will always end up a failure in one way or another ....in Christ,we can DO ALL things...we are transformed from whatever we were into a new Creature in Christ Jesus.....
    The foot of the Cross is the starting place,on our knees .......God Allows us to spiral down to that place of brokeness & utter despair (if that is what it takes?) all the while drawing us unto Himself,some of us "wake up,see & hear" & yet others do not? It is actually a good & wonderful thing that you are finally tired of TRYING ...perhaps now you are ready to surrender "self" to Jesus Lordship & ask His forgiveness to be your Savior -Receiving Gods Grace in return for your FAITH in the knowledge of WHO JESUS is?You can cry to the Heavens all day long but nothing will change  because God has given us the Way,the Truth & the Life and He patiently waits for you to accept His Only Begotten Son Who has been knocking at your door from the very beginnning,even before you were in your mothers woomb,He is your first LOVE,the ONE Who First Loved YOU........
    The void you are feeling my Dear can only be Filled by ONE......& He will NEVER leave you nor will He forsake you,Would you like to start living Life More Abundant?Would you like to experience Peace,Comfort,unspeakable Joy,Forgiveness,Love?   Come to Jesus,He has all you can ever ask or even imagine and MORE!!!!

    Welcome to Worthy
That "fascinating book" is the Inspired,God Breathed Word...It is the LIVING Word of God.....Jesus is the WORD'
The most important thing is to be READY when Christ returns
WHO is Jesus to you Friend?     Do you know He is the Way,the Truth & the Life?                                                                       With love-in Christ,Kwik

   Yep,mom is right! Although in the Book of Mark the women were not mentioned in the Book of  Matthew they were......
        As Shiloh mentioned,head counts only included the men.....if we look to the Old Testament we see many examples when consensus were taken & they only counted the males age 20 & up.......I would imagine they did the same at the time you are referencing.....                       Much love,Kwik

Blessings ENOCH,
     God bless you,I do believe this would apply to the fallen angels who will have many charges against them.....just my take.....I can't imagine Gods Holy Angels having anything bad to be charged with.....as far as those heavenly angels perhaps we can judge the wonderful things they have done that they will be rewarded?

    I do believe in this present day (in the flesh)Jesus would go to all the churches just as He does now in Spirit.(I agree with Boash)....2000 years have gone by and people have not changed one iota......Often times as I sit in the church pew on Sunday I think to myself"What would Jesus think of this?".....no different than when He rebuked the Pharisees as they sat in their specially designated places,wearing their fancy robes,paying their tithes & saying their prayers of vain repetition & many words that they think they will be heard.........we know the rest,same thing goes on in our modern day churches as it did in the synagogues back then ...and then the gatherings at the church in Corinth and so on....and there are those that He would approve of I'm sure

Blessings to you-Blessed,
    Perhaps standing in the gap for someone else may bring about a softening of that persons heart and therefore they will feel convicted,leading them into repentance but I don't think anywhere in the scriptures I have ever read anything that would lead me to believe this is possible(but anything is possible with God)Halleluliah!!
     By believing Who Jesus is and inviting Him into our hearts to be our Lord and Savior is when all of our sin is placed under His Blood and we are forgiven,still then I believe we are all yet a process of repentance,I cannot see how we could do that for someone else.
     We know Jesus as well as Stephen asked our Father to forgive others"for they know not what they do"so perhaps when someone sins unknowingly they can be forgiven but then again it is a matter of the heart......Am I wrong in assuming that we are talking about someone  that lives under the law?

Dear Blessed,
         Personally I used to ponder that "because of the angels"exactly the way you are implying and then one day I was reading(a long time ago)and I had a beautiful revelation that the angels referred to here are the already fallen(demons)...they are after all,angels-.that is what came into the eyes of my heart and I have never since questioned it.I do remember thinking "Oh okay,thank you Jesus,that is simple enough"'
        I do hope it sounds as simple an explanation as it did me.....Oh ,and I seriously doubt that any one of Gods heavenly angels ever think about anything but serving and worshipping God,they have seen it ALL from the beginning-I can't imagine a holy,heavenly angel considering losing their position to share in satans fate...
                                                                                           God bless you,Kwik
