Timidity sounds like afraid of people. Fear can be many things! I read in this artcle, wherever it is now, the person was trying to explain the relationship between the sound mind and the discipline. I don't copy and paste on my cell phone. The website never changes adresses when you move from page to page on it either so I thought it pointless to write it down.

Photo bucket...So you sign up for that and then download your photos onto that? Then upload it into here? So is that a site that makes uploading photos into anything else much easier? You'd think taking a picture off your smart phone would upload right into here. 'Too big' it says.

1 Timothy 1:7 Nasb says 'For God has not given us a spirit of timidity, but of power and love and discipline.' Since I trust the nasb most, I believe this is most correct, as they all say it is, being the most literal version. It is rated #1 in that. I read both these words in Greek are different actually, but derived from the same word. My question is, is their a correlation between the two in which saying sound mind can be used interchangeably? Also, fear is used instead if timidity sometimes in other versions. Why? Timidity seems to bring on a more specific meaning than fear alone. A different result of being afraid of something specifically. Fear of the people. Bashful.

Anybody have tips on how to upload a photo successfully? On my phone they are too big. On my computer 'there was a problem...

Where does it say she kissed His hand?

There is some prophecy concerning Jesus somewhere 'before the child knows enough to choose between right and wrong...' I dont know where that is, but one cannot be guilty of anything if they do not know the difference. Of course babies go to heaven.

Sorry, the quote function is slowly driving me mad I loved your response brother, I just couldn't figure out what you meant by the above in bold. Could you explain please? I just couldn't get the analogy lol. Thanks An exaggeration on my part to disprove the argument that Calvinism and Armenianism are the only two options in the debate on whether or not we actually have choice. God bless. wow, it is quoted above in all these posts (just randomly picked this one) that I said that. Those were not my words. How did that happen. ?

you sound like you don't think we are saved.

I heard the Philistines ( caananites) were called dogs by comparing them to snarling dogs which they displayed toward Isreal.

Faith is always tested by God. There are some individuals who are not tested greatly, while there are others who are severely tested. Christ in His omniscience already knew the outcome, and knowing in advance that she had extraordinary faith He decided to test this woman's faith very severely (possibly as a lesson for His disciples). It is noteworthy that even though she was outside the pale of Judaism and lived in a heathen land, she knew exactly who Christ was (which even the learned scribes and Pharisees failed to see). She approached Jesus with the understanding that He is God and Lord, as well as the true Messiah of Israel, but the Lord would test her faith to the limit: 1. She "cried unto Him, saying 'Have mercy on me' -- this was a cry to God Himself (v.22). 2. She called Him "Lord" -- and no one can say "Lord" except by the Spirit (v 22). 3. She called Him "Son of David" -- a recognition that Christ was the King-Messiah of Israel (v 22) 4. She was met with silence from Christ, but that did not deter her in the least (v 23). 5. She was met with contempt from the disciples, but that failed to faze her (v 23). 6. Christ told her bluntly she was not "of the house of Israel", but that did not discourage her (v 24). She knew in her heart that God is the God of both Jews and Gentiles. 7. Instead of slinking away, she fell down at His feet and worshiped Him, which was another display of steadfast faith (v 25). This proves that she recognized Christ's Deity. 8. She remembered that Jesus is God, and only God can help a person who is dealing with the Devil. Thus she said "Lord, help me" (v 25). 9. The Lord was not through with testing her, so He said that the children's bread does not belong to the dogs, reminding her again that she was a Gentile and not a Jew (v 26). 10. Even that word of discouragement did not deter this amazing woman, who responded with an astute and witty remark to show that she would simply not let Him go. She would be satisfied with the crumbs (v 27), but again she addressed Him as "Lord". 11. The final outcome was that the Lord praised her faith as being "great", and granted her request for the healing of her daughter (v 28). This is undoubtedly a remarkable incident, and has many lessons for us. To answer the OP "Why was her faith so great?" one can only conclude that she must has already said in her heart "With God, nothing is impossible". Sounds like good stuff.

The people in that area they had been the next door neibours of the Jews and had dealings with them and new who was the Lord God, and a lot of things, they also new about the new prophet in Israel and the rumors about him, they new he heals the sick. In the past, prophets from Israel had visited them. The one with the oil, the other one did not have children, and God gave her a son, who later died and the prophet raise him up from the dead. the point I am trying to make is that, even thought they believe that the Lord God he was the one he said he was, but because they were the abomination ( unclean) they can not be included, or be the children of God.(the sheet that came down from haven with the unclean animals), But inspire all these, when the prophets visited them, they always did good to them, God did give them his goodness to them. this lady new all the stories, and also new something else, that all the people the prophets had help were women, (a strange thing), so all those things from the past, plus that Jesus was known to heal the sick had build up a strong faith in this woman, definitely she meets the profile to be a recipient of Gods goodness, ( God had given them his goodness in the past, and how about if he was the Christ). she new something why is the prophet here in our place , she was anticipating the goodness of God to be manifested through his prophet. Jesus went to visit them, what an amazing story, Jesus wanted to see the neibours of the Jews while he was here on earth. "amazing". this woman, new that God sent him to us, to do us good,she said to her self," that's my chance", I won't let it go by me, she Had gotten hold of this hope. even thought God denei to have us as his children, he has not denied us his goodness, she new as a Caanait that she had acces to Gods goodness, through his prophet. True!

The Canaan woman in Matthew 15:21. Was it because of her persistence that proved she knew He could do it? Was it because she believed He had so much power from the almighty God that a few crumbs were enough to heal her child? Why did Jesus say her faith was great? There has to be something a little more. All I see is her desperation to deliver her child from this, but obviously something more to it then. Was she risking something? Jesus had no qualms healing the Roman centurians servent, but made her beg, they both being gentiles. I've often wondered why He said her faith was great.

Whenever we see the term "first fruits" it is connected with either actual or metaphorical harvests. In Hebrew usage the first fruits were the earliest part of the harvest, then followed the main harvest, and finally there were the gleanings. The 144,000 are indeed the first fruits of those who are redeemed out of Israel after the Church has been completed. That is why they are named by tribe. There will also be harvest of redeemed Jews after the Second Coming of Christ (Ezekiel 37:21-23): 21 And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land: 22 And I will make them one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all: 23 Neither shall they defile themselves any more with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions: but I will save them out of all their dwelling places, wherein they have sinned, and will cleanse them: so shall they be my people, and I will be their God. Ezra The REMNANTS of Israel apply to those verses. The remnants are from all generations. The 144,000 are a small group, true and faithful. They follow the Lamb wheresoever he goes....hello? I was kind of thinking this may not be right because of the fact that the tribe of Dan is not listed. Blessings.

About babies during the time of the wrath of God and the supposed 'rapture'. Well, since there will be innocent babies born during the time of the antichrist and after, and since I believe, and many others, that babies only go to heaven until a certain age accountablitiy, when they know the difference of right and wrong. So what is my point ? I forgot already, but I will come back and let you know. Something about the rapture. Oh yes....how could God rapture the church before the end times when babies will be born after that yet, and depending on the number of years between the birth and that age of accountability. So they would have to go to heaven to, but as young children would be hanging around earth yet while the church got to escape.

Read Revelation 14:1-5 It says this 144,000 from Isreal (cross reference is Rev 7:4 ). Are first fruits. What does signify to you?

'So that the manifold wisdom of God might be made known through the church to the rulers and the authorities in the heavenly places.' So the church knew about Christ and His coming to earth, and Holy Spirit power it gave us before any other created beings? Is that what is said here? Is he talking about good beings or fallen beings?

I think baptists, baptise. Seriously. So a baptist church, if you just prefer to do it that way.

That is something I said earlier.

I just meant that if the woman is 'suckling it up' and able to continuously be godly when the man is a hard cruelish ruler, then woman will have the greater reward, because she acted as she should have, and he didn't. That is if he knew what he was doing, if not and couldn't see it, I guess we are judged according to what we know, not what we do not know. I was being like a nah nah nah, so ha. Lol. To whomever, nobody in particular. By the way ▪gdmoss▪, you give lots of good answers in here.

So we know basically then what they were. Thanks. I really do like those 'got questions' answers that come from that website. I should check that often. They are written in a way I personally prefer to read coming from a website. Thanks for answering, too, everybody else. If I didn't want them, I wouldn't come in here and ask. ( for whoever thinks I'm a snot.)

We are obviously talking about two different things here. No time to explain what I meant at the moment.

Well then greater will her reward be in heaven.

Dueteronomy 33:8 When Moses blessed Isreal. 'Of Levi He said, "Let your Thummim and your Urim belong to Your Godly man, whom You proved at Massah...."

I wasn't arguing the point that I didn't believe women where not uneducated, I was arguing the point that someone said there is no way of knowing in writing, only everything is only by word of mouth and therefore unreliable. But said then, women where uneducated, so why would only that be reliable, why wouldn't some other things be reliable. Also, from another post, saying women had no authority, no nothing along those lines in that culture time, but in the bible it says there were prominent Greek women.

A husband can exasperate a wife. I was thinking when Paul talks about slaves bearing up under being treated bad. Does a husband really want his wife to be in that position or feel that way about her husband. Does a husband really want the ONLY love she feels for her husband as coming thru God from endless prayer, clinging to God with all her might, as her only hope of remaining obedient and being kind? Seriously......
