I listen to a radio program where people tell of their life and coming to Christ. True stories. I forgot the name at the moment. But when they accept Christ as their lord and savior, they feel free and different,(good) like new people. Only the Holy Spirit can do that, no?

Of course Im no expert, but recently I read job a couple times within the past , well, short time, and what I got out of it had something to do with God glorifying himself to Satan, and also taking pride in showing how his beloved servent job would not curse Him, just as he said Job wouldn't, but satan said job would. Sounds funny to have someone go thru that to show them off. After all, it is supposed to be all about God, not us.

1 Timothy 5:22 "Do not lay hands on anyone too hastily and thereby share responsibility for the sins of others; keep yourself free from sin." I have often wondered. Used to go to a church where people did quite a bit of laying hands on others to pray. We do it once in a while in the the Salvation Army where I attend.

Good posts, thankyou. Feel free to post more if you got them. : )

Hi. "As each one has recieved a special gift, employ it in serving one another as good stewards of the manifold grace of God." What are all these gifts and why are they to be used in serving one another? Can you come up with examples as how to they are used to serve one another? I thought they were supposed to be used to glorify God and maybe bring in the lost. I understand how the gift of encouragement serves one another. Maybe the gift of helps. Perhaps all these gifts help strengthen eachother so we can continue to grow in the grace and love of God, thus bringing greater glory to God in the world? Just typing as my mind is hashing this out.

Didn't really want to post this in prophecy. eeks. How does this read to you. For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.17Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord.18Therefore comfort one another with these words. Now as to the times and the epochs, brethren, you have no need of anything to be written to you.2For you yourselves know full well that the day of the Lord will come just like a thief in the night.3While they are saying, “Peace and safety!” then destruction will come upon them suddenly like labor pains upon a woman with child, and they will not escape.4 That sure doesn't sound like pre-trib to me, because it says right after the Lord comes, the unblievers will suffer punishment.

Prayers for the right people to help you, right attorney, right judge, whatever you need. Yeah, I agree, take them to court outrside of family court! As some would say...don't forget that God does have your daughter in His hands thru all this. Peace.... so sorry you are going through all of this.

Well, if you type in 'first fruits' in the search engine, it comes up alot thru scripture talking about giving, tho. Too bad I don't have a verse as to what I am thinking. Perhaps I am wrong, but I have a memory of him saying that.

This says the 144,000 that came out of the great tribulation are first fruits to God. How can they be when the apostle Paul says that they are the first fruits. I always took that to mean the first ones coming to Christ after His resurection.

Why would we fall under judgment if we swear by something rather than saying a simple yes or no?

This seems pretty much spot on. imo.

This is Winnie. I changed my name, but cannot start new topics until I have 5 posts. Thankyou for your replies. What I am getting really is that it is a degrading term of contempt by saying that someone, who created in the image of God, is basically a nothing. That is insulting God then, who is the creator of all things, especially of men, being created in His image whom he cares about the most.

Is anybody entirely clear on the translation of saying to someone 'you fool'. Matthew:5:22. ? Blessings...

Well I just came in here to ask for pre-tribbers to please explain. Did not read all 185 posts yet, but will scroll thru at some point yet. I am reading Thessalonians 2:1-4 and the Apostle Paul istelling them not to be quickly shaken from their composure saying the Lord has already come. He says the apostasy has to come first and the man who (antichrist) takes his seat in the temple of God. Ok.......That of course could still mean mid trib, but pretrib? Unfortunately I can't start a new post.
