Telling friend I am getting the vaccine
PeterR replied to Thewhitedove's topic in Have a problem? Looking for advice?
I have yet to meet anyone who has taken or wants to take this injection voluntarily, that is, to prevent serious illness according to official information. In almost every case I know, it has been due to pressure, bribery, or even blackmail. If I may ask what is the reason you are considering taking this injection? -
Open sinners seem to take precedence over proud hypocrites. Jas 2:5-6 Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him? But ye have despised the poor. Do not rich men oppress you, and draw you before the judgment seats?

I agree. If there were noises about miraculous (true) healings, if they only wrote about it in the newspapers, it would be of benefit, but when it is loud only about counterfeiters, the effect is the opposite. If there are no such spectacular results as were, for example, when John and Peter healed a lame man and then he himself made this event known by jumping and praising God, no one believes in physical healings anymore. It would be presumptuous if John and Peter only self-testified of themselves or if they concealed the event from the people merely boasting about what God had done through them, telling it only to other believers. As you say, where there are no signs, there are no results. All that remains is pride, building a hierarchy and prayers for show. Act 5:16 There came also a multitude out of the cities round about unto Jerusalem, bringing sick folks, and them which were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed every one. I think that today there are no miracles or signs that inspire such fear as in the times of the Apostles, because today there are no Apostles on earth. But I believe that a sincere, heartfelt confession has more healing power than asking the other person to pray for your health. Shouldn't we rather pray for one another that we may be persistent in our physical sufferings? You have no reason to argue that someone who questions spectacular healings these days does not pray himself. It is certain, however, that such a person does not put himself in the position of an intermediary to God. After all, we do not pray like the hypocrites, but we believe that "by His stripes we are healed".

Was the flood a worldwide flood or a flood of the known world?

I thought you were talking about solid world above it -

This is not in Scripture. But if I am wrong please give the verse. -

Thank you, but I will not take your advice. The Lord is my shepherd. His Word lasts forever. That's why I have given this second verse as well. So again, you tell some fairy tales. -

2Ti 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: Col 2:8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. -

Please state in which line the writer states it -
Exactly! It would make no sense for someone with this gift to manifest healings among professing Christians. Healings would be justified rather as a sign among non-believers, where they are needed. Why not in hospitals then?

Psa 73:22-25 So foolish was I, and ignorant: I was as a beast before thee. Nevertheless I am continually with thee: thou hast holden me by my right hand. Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory. Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee.

1Co 13:13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity. Faith Hope and Love. All these three, although eternal, seem to be out of this world. We may say they disappear from this world rather than remain.

In that case, your statement that "If someone has the true gift of healing, healing will happen." Is false. With regard to physical healing, it must be conditioned to the will of God and not to the one who claims to have the gift. So the "healer" must feel at the moment that he has this power, consent? Are you saying that it is rather a permanent, everlasting gift? I believe that God can use any of us whenever He wants to heal someone. How do you tell the difference between true healers and false healers? I don't know if there was such a thing as Jewish hospitals in those days, but Jesus had a very special "relationship" to Jews. Jesus healed a lame man by the pond where many sick people lay. Perhaps for others it was enough to believe in healing water.

Because a new birth is a process that begins with fertilization Rev 3:17-19 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see. As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. Isa 55:1 Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.

And what prevents those who have this gift from performing healings in hospitals?

"As a subculture, anti-masking amplifies anti-establishment currents pervasive in U.S. political culture. Data literacy, for anti-maskers, exemplifies distinctly American ideals of intellectual self-reliance, which historically takes the form of rejecting experts and other elites [53]. The counter-visualizations that they produce and circulate not only challenge scientific consensus, but they also assert the value of independence in a society that they believe promotes an overall de-skilling and dumbing-down of the population for the sake of more effective social control [39, 52, 98]. As they see it, to counter-visualize is to engage in an act of resistance against the stifling influence of central government, big business, and liberal academia. Moreover, their simultaneous appropriation of scientific rhetoric and rejection of scientific authority also reflects longstanding strategies of Christian fundamentalists seeking to challenge the secularist threat of evolutionary biology [11]." https://arxiv.org/pdf/2101.07993.pdf SCIENTISTS DISCOVER ANTI-MASKERS ARE REALLY GOOD AT SCIENCE!

A brother in the Lord once told me an anecdote. When he visited a congregation, he found there a sister who was quite hostile to one of the brothers. Then he asked: Sister, why do you have such an unpleasant attitude towards your brother? What if the rapture comes in a moment and you don't have time to reconcile with it before you meet in heaven? Will you be able to meet his eyes there? And without a moment's thought she replied: Of course. I'll tell him: Sorry, I don't recognize you, angel

Certainly the sign of our Lord's URGENT coming will be / is the feeling of non-believers of peace and their devastating "lack of fear". This should not be of concern to the few, harassed and oppressed, who are eager and prepared for rapture because we know it will happen suddenly. I do not say that Day of the Lord has already come or that we should stand and stare at the sky, but that it will not surprise us because we are aware that it can come at any moment. Thinking about the signs has little to do with eager vigilance and keeping candles lit until the morning comes. Therefore, let us encourage and build up one another knowing that we do not belong to ourselves. Act 1:7 And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power. 1Th 5:1-11 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober. For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night. But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation. For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him. Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.

Can you name them, please?

There are no facts to support such a conclusion. If I may ask, what facts do you expect?

I don't think ones view of harpazo is that narrow dangerous path that leads to life. Luk 12:23 The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment. Luk 12:32-34 Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom. Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. Neglect or indifference (carnal Christianity), as well as asserting one's own infallibility, weakens vigilance. The broad road is easier to find and follow. Surely there is a difference between the faithful and the unfaithful servant and it seems to me that the faithful one is the one who finds the gate that is at the END of the road.

Luk 21:36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. Strong's G1628 - ekpheugō from G1537 and G5343; to flee out:—escape, flee.

Jewish persons? They certainly can. And they will be. Gal 3:24-28 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. Heb 12:14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord

1Jn 5:19 And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness. Gal 1:3-5 Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father: To whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. Gal 6:14 But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world. 1Jn 2:15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
