FAITH! JESUS! LOVE! QUESTIONS TO ALL DENOMINATIONS!
holy spirit inspired | jesus4life

Posted on 10/03/2011 9:24:36 AM PDT by jesus4life

Amen

Grace and peace to all of you. I am very new to this site. The holy spirit brought me hear tonight to look over many answers here. To learn and to share.

I have questions here if anyone would be kind to take the time out to answer:

1. If we want evil to stop, why do speak of where it is, how to see it, where to see it, and when it may happen?

2. Do we really believe GOD sees all things and will handle all things?

3. If we revere Mary as the mother of GOD, why do we not copy her obedience??

4. If we believe in CHRIST as the son of GOD, who killed no one, loved everyone, and died for all. Why do we worry about dying?? Why do we want to kill others?? Why do we hate others? Why do we want to own land, take over other countries? Why do we want to judge others faith, walk, and lives before they die, knowing that GOD has power to save and can save anyone?

5. Do we believe heaven exists?? If so, where is it for all of you??

The holy spirit brought me to some passages for all of us to think about:

The love of Christ that we should live and show the world LUKE 6:27-36

27 'But I say this to you who are listening: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, 28 bless those who curse you, pray for those who treat you badly. 29 To anyone who slaps you on one cheek, present the other cheek as well; to anyone who takes your cloak from you, do not refuse your tunic. 30 Give to everyone who asks you, and do not ask for your property back from someone who takes it. 31 Treat others as you would like people to treat you. 32 If you love those who love you, what credit can you expect? Even sinners love those who love them. 33 And if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit can you expect? For even sinners do that much. 34 And if you lend to those from whom you hope to get money back, what credit can you expect? Even sinners lend to sinners to get back the same amount. 35 Instead, love your enemies and do good to them, and lend without any hope of return. You will have a great reward, and you will be children of the Most High, for he himself is kind to the ungrateful and the wicked. 36 'Be compassionate just as your Father is compassionate.

Mary's love, obedience, and acceptance that we should all follow in situations that GOD can handle that we cant

Luke 1:29-39

29 She was deeply disturbed by these words and asked herself what this greeting could mean, 30 but the angel said to her, 'Mary, do not be afraid; you have won God's favour. 31 Look! You are to conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you must name him Jesus. 32 He will be great and will be called Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his ancestor David; 33 he will rule over the House of Jacob for ever and his reign will have no end.' 34 Mary said to the angel, 'But how can this come about, since I have no knowledge of man?' 35 The angel answered, 'The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will cover you with its shadow. And so the child will be holy and will be called Son of God. 36 And I tell you this too: your cousin Elizabeth also, in her old age, has conceived a son, and she whom people called barren is now in her sixth month, 37 for nothing is impossible to God.' 38 Mary said, 'You see before you the Lord's servant, let it happen to me as you have said.' And the angel left her. 39 Mary set out at that time and went as quickly as she could into the hill country to a town in Judah.

OUR LIVES HERE MARK 8:29-38

27 Jesus and his disciples left for the villages round Caesarea Philippi. On the way he put this question to his disciples, 'Who do people say I am?' 28 And they told him, 'John the Baptist, others Elijah, others again, one of the prophets.' 29 'But you,' he asked them, 'who do you say I am?' Peter spoke up and said to him, 'You are the Christ.' 30 And he gave them strict orders not to tell anyone about him. 31 Then he began to teach them that the Son of man was destined to suffer grievously, and to be rejected by the elders and the chief priests and the scribes, and to be put to death, and after three days to rise again; 32 and he said all this quite openly. Then, taking him aside, Peter tried to rebuke him. 33 But, turning and seeing his disciples, he rebuked Peter and said to him, 'Get behind me, Satan! You are thinking not as God thinks, but as human beings do.' 34 He called the people and his disciples to him and said, 'If anyone wants to be a follower of mine, let him renounce himself and take up his cross and follow me. 35 Anyone who wants to save his life will lose it; but anyone who loses his life for my sake, and for the sake of the gospel, will save it. 36 What gain, then, is it for anyone to win the whole world and forfeit his life? 37 And indeed what can anyone offer in exchange for his life? 38 For if anyone in this sinful and adulterous generation is ashamed of me and of my words, the Son of man will also be ashamed of him when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.'

OUR REAL HOME Revelations 21:1-8 1 Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; the first heaven and the first earth had disappeared now, and there was no longer any sea. 2 I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride dressed for her husband. 3 Then I heard a loud voice call from the throne, 'Look, here God lives among human beings. He will make his home among them; they will be his people, and he will be their God, God-with-them. 4 He will wipe away all tears from their eyes; there will be no more death, and no more mourning or sadness or pain. The world of the past has gone.' 5 Then the One sitting on the throne spoke. 'Look, I am making the whole of creation new. Write this, "What I am saying is trustworthy and will come true." 6 Then he said to me, 'It has already happened. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give water from the well of life free to anybody who is thirsty; 7 anyone who proves victorious will inherit these things; and I will be his God and he will be my son. 8 But the legacy for cowards, for those who break their word, or worship obscenities, for murderers and the sexually immoral, and for sorcerers, worshippers of false gods or any other sort of liars, is the second death in the burning lake of sulphur.'

Mom,
If you see judging, it’s because you are only reading that first paragraph where “ spiritual eye “ is mentioned. Read the other ones.

AMEN! But remember who Jesus came for; the lowly, wimpy ( as you call it), weak, etc....as all people were before Christ came and cleaned them out of their wicked sins; thatsif He did. As I am aware many use His holy name that dont serve Him. Not saying thats you, but just putting that out there for people to understand that that is a key character to know a false prophet or non-beleiver.

If you saw addresses and places of evil in the Word, that would be good to know.

I saw alot of locale and general mentions of where. But not specifics; especially not in the New Testament.

But what you said was true about the ROOT. Which is what God had me mention; the general. That is the root. The root doesnt mention the specific details it just tales you the base of it. Evil, devil,and people who follow him what they do and mention.

We are all children of God that have to use adult provision in ministry. Yet in remembering that we are all children of GOD. remembering that we sin all the time ( whether in mind or actions). So, just like children we are coerced, weak, and untrained to sin. As an adult in this world ( depending on our comprehension), some of us are knowing of what we do, and still do it. Some never understand. Some grow at a slow pace; all GOD knows and gives what He gives to each one. But all can learn from one another.

When ministering and providing information on the internet, a person does not know the person or persons they are talking to. Some could be a child masking as they are over 18, a person that is slow, and many other examples of people that may not comprehend well what is going on in posts on this site.

thats why Jesus says to keep all testimonies and things one on one.

Train a child well in the Word, and they will only see the kingdom of heaven. they will run from sin, just the smell of it; before they see it. But in this world we train or allow children to be trained to have two masters ( and we know what Jesus says about that).

Passages:

Who Jesus came for:

Luke 5:31-32 ( Jesus talking in the healing for Spirit and health)

31 Jesus said to them in reply, ‘It is not those that are well who need the doctor, but the sick.
32 I have come to call not the upright but sinners to repentance.’

Romans 5
1 So then, now that we have been justified by faith, we are at peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ;
2 it is through him, by faith, that we have been admitted into God’s favour in which we are living, and look forward exultantly to God’s glory.
3 Not only that; let us exult, too, in our hardships, understanding that hardship develops perseverance,
4 and perseverance develops a tested character, something that gives us hope,
5 and a hope which will not let us down, because the love of God has been poured into our hearts by the Holy Spirit which has been given to us.
6 When we were still helpless, at the appointed time, Christ died for the godless.
7 You could hardly find anyone ready to die even for someone upright; though it is just possible that, for a really good person, someone might undertake to die.
8 So it is proof of God’s own love for us, that Christ died for us while we were still sinners.
9 How much more can we be sure, therefore, that, now that we have been justified by his death, we shall be saved through him from the retribution of God.
10 For if, while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, how much more can we be sure that, being now reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
11 What is more, we are filled with exultant trust in God, through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have already gained our reconciliation.
12 Well then; it was through one man that sin came into the world, and through sin death, and thus death has spread through the whole human race because everyone has sinned.
13 Sin already existed in the world before there was any law, even though sin is not reckoned when there is no law.
14 Nonetheless death reigned over all from Adam to Moses, even over those whose sin was not the breaking of a commandment, as Adam’s was. He prefigured the One who was to come . . .
15 There is no comparison between the free gift and the offence. If death came to many through the offence of one man, how much greater an effect the grace of God has had, coming to so many and so plentifully as a free gift through the one man Jesus Christ!
16 Again, there is no comparison between the gift and the offence of one man. One single offence brought condemnation, but now, after many offences, have come the free gift and so acquittal!
17 It was by one man’s offence that death came to reign over all, but how much greater the reign in life of those who receive the fullness of grace and the gift of saving justice, through the one man, Jesus Christ.
18 One man’s offence brought condemnation on all humanity; and one man’s good act has brought justification and life to all humanity.
19 Just as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by one man’s obedience are many to be made upright.
20 When law came on the scene, it was to multiply the offences. But however much sin increased, grace was always greater;
21 so that as sin’s reign brought death, so grace was to rule through saving justice that leads to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Proverbs 22:20-25

20 Have I not written for you thirty chapters of advice and knowledge,
21 to make you know the certainty of true sayings, so that you can return with sound answers to those who sent you?
22 Do not despoil the weak, for he is weak, and do not oppress the poor at the gate,
23 for Yahweh takes up their cause, and extorts the life of their extortioners.
24 Do not make friends with one who gives way to anger, make no one quick-tempered a companion of yours,
25 for fear you learn such behaviour and in it find a snare for yourself.

Keep things one and one and about exposing:

Proverbs 25:1-10

1 Here are some more of Solomon’s proverbs, transcribed at the court of Hezekiah king of Judah:
2 To conceal a matter, this is the glory of God, to sift it thoroughly, the glory of kings.
3 The heavens for height and the earth for depth, unfathomable, as are the hearts of kings.
4 From silver remove the dross and it emerges wholly purified;
5 from the king’s presence remove the wicked and on uprightness his throne is founded.
6 In the presence of the king do not give yourself airs, do not take a place among the great;
7 better to be invited, ‘Come up here’, than be humiliated in the presence of the prince.
8 What your eyes have witnessed do not produce too quickly at the trial, for what are you to do at the end should your neighbour confute you?
9 Have the quarrel out with your neighbour. but do not disclose another’s secret,
10 for fear your listener put you to shame, and the loss of repute be irremediable.

No worrying about evil and what it does

Ecclesiasts 9:10-12
10 Do not desert an old friend; the new one will not be his match. New friend, new wine; when it grows old, you drink it with pleasure.
11 Do not envy the sinner his success; you do not know how that will end.
12 Do not take pleasure in what pleases the godless; remember they will not go unpunished here below.

Even foolish things we look down upon God can use for His glory, that’s why its best to just praise his holy name only.

Romans 9:25-26
25 Just as he says in the book of Hosea: I shall tell those who were not my people, ‘You are my people,’ and I shall take pity on those on whom I had no pity.
26 And in the very place where they were told, ‘You are not my people,’ they will be told that they are ‘children of the living God’.

Beware of the training of the Pharisees, train a child, and look down on no one:

Matthew 23:8-13

8’You, however, must not allow yourselves to be called Rabbi, since you have only one Master, and you are all brothers.
9 You must call no one on earth your father, since you have only one Father, and he is in heaven.
10 Nor must you allow yourselves to be called teachers, for you have only one Teacher, the Christ.
11 The greatest among you must be your servant.
12 Anyone who raises himself up will be humbled, and anyone who humbles himself will be raised up.
13 ‘Alas for you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You shut up the kingdom of Heaven in people’s faces, neither going in yourselves nor allowing others to go who want to.

Proverbs 22:6
Give a lad a training suitable to his character and, even when old, he will not go back on it.

1 Corinthians 1:25-31
25 God’s folly is wiser than human wisdom, and God’s weakness is stronger than human strength.
26 Consider, brothers, how you were called; not many of you are wise by human standards, not many influential, not many from noble families.
27 No, God chose those who by human standards are fools to shame the wise; he chose those who by human standards are weak to shame the strong,
28 those who by human standards are common and contemptible — indeed those who count for nothing — to reduce to nothing all those that do count for something,
29 so that no human being might feel boastful before God.

Two masters;

Isaiah 26:12-14
12 Yahweh, you will grant us peace, having completed all our undertakings for us.
13 Yahweh our God, other lords than you have ruled us but, loyal to you alone, we invoke your name.
14 The dead will not come back to life, the shadows will not rise again, for you have punished them, annihilated them, wiping out their very memory.

Matthew 6:24
24 ‘No one can be the slave of two masters: he will either hate the first and love the second, or be attached to the first and despise the second. You cannot be the slave both of God and of money.
Dont worry about evil, remember the knowledge and memory of the Father. God will take care of all.

Matthew 6:1-8
1 ‘Be careful not to parade your uprightness in public to attract attention; otherwise you will lose all reward from your Father in heaven.
2 So when you give alms, do not have it trumpeted before you; this is what the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets to win human admiration. In truth I tell you, they have had their reward.
3 But when you give alms, your left hand must not know what your right is doing;
4 your almsgiving must be secret, and your Father who sees all that is done in secret will reward you.
5 ‘And when you pray, do not imitate the hypocrites: they love to say their prayers standing up in the synagogues and at the street corners for people to see them. In truth I tell you, they have had their reward.
6 But when you pray, go to your private room, shut yourself in, and so pray to your Father who is in that secret place, and your Father who sees all that is done in secret will reward you.
7 ‘In your prayers do not babble as the gentiles do, for they think that by using many words they will make themselves heard.
8 Do not be like them; your Father knows what you need before you ask him.

The contention that Dr E is in the process of becoming a devotee of the Vatican Ashteroth-Mary-goddess org headquartered in the Vatican and known as the RCC is at least many multi-verses distant from well beyond ABSURD TO THE MAX.

Wishful thinking. Note the frequent RC threads on celebrity converts.

Dr. E's second most recent post, from a month and a half ago, make me think this is very unlikely Dr. E is plugging into the sacramental engine.

(There's an interesting graphic at the second link.)

Evidently, for some, it’s a hazardous exercise.

LOL! That contention could only come from the pit as it's satan's wish to grab God's own out of His Hands. Dr E is one who satan trembles when she awakes in the morning - as she is ready in season and out for any snare satan puts in her path! Her Sword is the Mighty Word of God.

"For the Word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, It penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart."

She has pressing complex matters that require more of her attention than her usual here would allow.

She isn't missing anything here; however, many are missing her here. For here - it's the same old same old as the battle continues in some denying God Word's as The Final Authority as they bow to man made doctrine of demons and pray to the dead - VS. - God's Own lifting up HIS Word as He has lifted it up above His Mighty Name as they bow ONLY to their Savior, One Way, One Truth, One Life. It's all about Jesus. No one goes to The Father except through Jesus, THE WORD.
