    Purpose of prophecy

    Excellent response Charlesj. God not only called you but He also has filled you with wisdom. I expect a rich and full ministry for you. "Now to Him who is able to do exceeding abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us, to Him be the glory in the...

    I guess it depends upon what kind of church you belong to. Are you describing your church?

    David a man of faith

    Kevin, I was so glad to read your message on David and Goliath. That story is something that I am currently working on myself. I am constantly encouraged and excited by the historical account of David and Goliath. What really thrills me about what God did here is that Israel had been duped...

    To Give Or Not To Give ?

    The Bible says in Galatians 2:10 "...we should continue to remember the poor". Perhaps you have heard the stories of people who have put on the guise of being poor. They ask for money holding signs, "will work for food" and all the while they are not in the least bit interested in working...

    $$$ Giving... how much is enough?

    As far as I can tell there are several options before me on giving, I can either: 1) Refuse to give to the ministry 2) I can wait until "the Spirit moves me" 3) I can give an Old Testament tithe 4) I can follow the example of my heavenly Father and give generously Luke 6:38 "Give, and it...

    To Give Or Not To Give ?

    On Tuesday I met a man in the inner city of Minneapolis. He asked me for some money. I told him I won't give you any money but I will give you an address for a job. He said, "I'll go there tomorrow, but I need some money for something to eat tonight". I told him no. Now I am having some...

    KJV better then the rest? List your thoughts.

    John, you don't see the parallel here? It's easy to see, I'll point it out to you. The Old Testament was originally written in Hebrew (MT). Then along came the Septuagint (LXX), a new translation of the Old Testament into Greek. Consequently there were two readings of the Old Testament, one...

    Quiet Time Online

    FFX, I have just had a conversation with a friend of mine over the same concerns you have. David and I are both seminary graduates neither of us are in full time ministry. I shared with Dave that we be obedient to God in the place where he has us right now. Because if we obedient in the place...

    KJV better then the rest? List your thoughts.

    The problem of KJV only is that they begin with an erroneous presumption, that the King James Version is the best translation. Thereby they make the KJV the standard of Truth, other translations that don't measure up are immediately suspect. What I would like a KJV'er to answer me is this...

    KJV better then the rest? List your thoughts.

    The questions I have yet to have answered by someone who holds to a "KJV only" stance is this: True or False, is the KJV a transliteration ? Also, did the Apostle Paul quote only from the Hebrew or did he also quote from the LXX ? Also, does the LXX have any variances with the Masoretic Text ?

    $$$ Prosperity... how much is enough?

    I am glad your post came up with this discussion on wealth. I know I need to learn to be content with my income and not use credit cards. I heard on a Christian radio where a Christian financial counselor stated that covteousness is causing more and more of God's people to stand away from the...

    Reading the Word

    Ok, Goodnewsinc. I looked at your website and left with more questions than answers. First of all, are you teaching that there is no hell? You chastise the hell, fire and brimestone preachers, well then how are you going to explain the many many references Jesus makes to hell ? It is...

    Purpose of prophecy

    You indeed speak the truth charlesj and your conviction on the completion of scripture is so right on! "And so we have the prophetic word made sure, to which you do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star arises in your hearts" (II...

    Purpose of prophecy

    So then charles, you are aware of the discussion on the other thread, namely, "don't throw out the New Testament prophets". I would just like to know what your thoughts are on the matter of present day "prophets".

    Purpose of prophecy

    Charlesj if I could shake your hand I would. You have a wonderful way with words, so clear and easily understood and above all "rightly dividing the Word of Truth". That second point of your, the purpose of prophecy. Well worded! "the prophets prepared the world for the distinction between...

    Don't throw out the "N.T. prophets"

    Yes I do remember and I heed what Matthew wrote taken from the words of Christ, "And many false prophets shall arise, and shall deceive many" (Matt. 24:11). It is my sincere hope you won't be one of them.

    About Jesus, I need help.

    I don't know if this will help but a did a little inquiry into the the name Jesus. The reason for the Hebrew name yeshua is because it is a contraction or if you like a abbreviation of the name for Joshua, meaning "help of Jehovah". It is indeed very interesting, you look up the name Joshua in...
