I have studied a little bit on spiritual oppression and possession. Can you tell me what these verses mean? And how would someone appear today if they were oppressed or possessed? Act 10:38 How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him. Mat 12:29 Or else how can one enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his house. Mark 5:1-20, Luke 8 Matt. 8:28-34

I John 5:13 says, "These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God." In heaven, all that truly know the Lord Jesus Christ as their own personal Savior will be there together! Therefore, we as Bible-believing Christians should truly love each other now as brethren in the Lord. I John 4:11 says, "Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another."

. Hello; Some years ago I attended an adult Sunday school class in a church here in Oregon being taught by a spiritually inept chemical engineer blundering his way through the life of Joseph. When I had just about enough of his short-sighted perspectives, I raised my hand to ask a question. Here's what I asked: Do you think Joseph was born again? The man was completely taken aback. He actually began to stammer before asking me to explain. So I informed him (he should have already known this being a Baptist Sunday school teacher) that Jesus testified that nOBody is getting into the kingdom without first undergoing a second birth. †. John 3:3 . .Verily, verily, I …

I was wondering if anyone could explain who the sheep and the goats are in Matthew 25:31-46. The reason I ask, is that a good friend of mine says they are the people who did not accept Christ in their life time and defends this with Rev 5:10, claiming that we as Christians are to reign on the earth and they will be the people we will reign over. This doesn't seem to make sence because it would mean unbelievers would be saved by works; but then I'm not sure who this passage is referring to. Michele

Does anybody's church use The Exchange discipleship book lessons? The author is Jeff Musgrave and its printed by Journeyforth a division of Bob Jones University Press. They are excellent discipleship tools, but it's hard to keep new believers to commit to going through the entire program. The first book is called The Exchange and goes through the basics of salvation. The second is Living the Exchange and goes through several topics about living a Christian life. The thirst is called Giving the Exchange and obviously focuses on evangelism and specific ways to reach out to the lost. If anyone has used it, I'd like to hear how it worked out for you?

"Matthew 10:5-6 These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not: 6 But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel." Under two gospel doctrine, “gospel of the Kingdom” teaches Jesus and the twelve disciples never entered nor preached in Samaria. The above verse is quoted as an absolute not as a one mission event. Does Jesus or any of His disciples ever travel to Samaria? John Chapter 4 3 He (Jesus) left Judaea, and departed again into Galilee. 4 And He must needs go through Samaria. 5 Then cometh He to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, ne…

Hello Family of God, There will always be a debate as to whether a Genuine Believer can stop believing, or if someone who DOES NOT believe IN THEIR HEART can come to believe at some point in their life. The Bible makes it VERY CLEAR that there is Genuine Belief that can never fall away from TRUE FAITH, and a false belief or unbelief that stems from a hardened heart that will NEVER be persuaded of the Gospel Message and Salvation by Grace through TRUE FAITH. "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; …

Why do so many Christians doubt their Salvation if God's promises are never to be broken? It concerns me a great deal that there are many genuine Christians who are indeed saved but feel as if they're not at times. Verily, verily, I say unto you. He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath [present tense] everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed [perfect tense] from death unto life. (John 5:24) These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know [perfect tense] that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. (1 John 5:13) The "p…

My wife and I were out today in the mall and this gentleman walked towards us and started talking to us. We asked if he was a Christian. He said no, my wife said, would you like us to pray for you, he said no. So we talked about other things for a few minutes, and then I asked him, can you remember back then maybe visiting a church, and going through a very bad experience? He said yes, and shared with us his experience, which was not very good, so this man spent his whole life fleeing from religion. I told him this wasn’t a coincidence that we talked together today about this. Keep God, in your mind and in your heart, read the Bible, don’t follow religions or man, and he …

Recognizing that one is totally unable to save or help save himself, a man is justified or declared righteous in the sight of God when he entrusts his soul to Christ alone to give him eternal salvation. It is not possible to savingly believe on Jesus Christ and think that ones works have anything to do with the forgiveness of sin. The Bible says, For by grace [undeserved favor] are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast (Ephesians 2:8-9). If salvation is by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no mo…

This list of questions has been in the flyleaf of my Bible for some time, and is very effective when dealing with carnal and baby Christians that have not yet grasped the finality of their salvation. They seem convinced that they haven't believed hard enough, or that there must be something left for them to do in order to feel for certain that they are saved. These questions are designed to replace the word "feel" with the word "know." "Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ" (Rom 5:1 KJV). EIGHTEEN QUESTIONS ON ASSURANCE 1. Did Jesus die for me personally? 2. Did the Saviour fail in His effort to save me?…

Repentance is a direct change of mind, brought on by the awareness of sin in your life and the fact that your sin has violated the laws of God. This changing of mind, is produced by an inward sorrow, remorse and regret over sins committed, which results in a redirected, or changed life.

Dear Iconclast: Many here have requested that you give a salvation testimony. Since you apparently either haven't seen these requests, or just have refused to give a salvation testimony as the Bible says one should....i thought I'd bring it to your attention. 1 Peter 3:15 “But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:” King James Version (KJV) I'm posting this here so that it will be clear what we're asking. We truly hope that you know the Lord as your personal saviour. We look forward to hearing of your salvation experience. …

. †. 1Cor 6:9-10 . . Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. NOTE: numbers of well-meaning folk have attempted to use that verse to prove that gays and lesbians are hopelessly doomed to eternal suffering. But that would mean fornicators, idolaters, adulterers, effeminate, abusers of themselves with mankind, thieves, covetous, drunkards, revilers, and extortioners, are hopelessly doomed too. It would also mean t…

If there ever is a doctrine that takes away the full assurance of hope and being with Christ, our Savior upon physical death . . . then it has got to be the false doctrine of soul sleep. One of my pet peeves are those who teach and promote false doctrines and heresies -- even on the web. I often email them and challenge them to a debate. I came across a website that promotes the false doctrine of "soul sleep" http://wordonly.net/CI06.html and was stunned at just how the author twisted scripture out of context with eisegesis and poor understanding of simple vocabulary that even a child can grasp. There is no "soul sleep". Immediately upon death, the spirit goes eithe…

In the Bible it talks about Watchmen. As we observe the job of a watchmen we see that the lives of others are in their hands. For it is their job to watch and see if people come. In the same way we as Christians need to watch for when Jesus comes. Not only does the watchman watch he also warns. In 2 Samuel 18vs27 the watchman here was sending to Ahimaz one of the kings men so that he could bring news to the king whether things were alright or not. In likewise manner we need to warn the wicked of what they will face in Hell of an eternity. As you read on about the watchman you come across how dangerous it can be not only do they watch and warn they also have to go to the c…

I hope I did not imply that the translators were inspired; they did not say anything like that of themselves. I would like to know if some of the members of this forum consider the KJV as the word of God in English, as I do. If anyone claims that the KJV is the word of God, then it is (for them, at the least) inspired. All scripture is given by inspiration of God, 2 Timothy 3:16a "We know where God's word is now..." does not make that clear to me. -

Yet, when taken out of context they breed the likes of Ruckman. We know where God's word is now... apparently you're being intentionally obtuse considering you quoted from it. -
A sandwich tried to get a reservation at a restaurant, but the waiter said they don’t serve food there. There are three types of people: those who can count and those who can’t. He was addicted to the hokey pokey, but thankfully, he turned himself around. I finished the puzzle in six months, even though the box said it would take 4 to 5 years. I’ve had amnesia for as long as I can… It was an emotional wedding — even the cake was in tiers.

Thank you for responding. I did not catch that part. That brought to mind a two part question. These verses: Isaiah 40:8 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth; but the word of our God shall stand forever. and Matthew 24:35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. If you think these words are true and that His word is for ever, where is it now?

So .he believes not only in the "preservation" of the Bible for the English speaking people to be the KJV, but that it's also "inspired?" He apparently believes in the double inspiration theory put forth by the likes of Peter Ruckman. Sorry, but you'll NEVER get me to buy into that position.
