You wrote, “For New Testament leaders, God makes it very clear that having more than one wife is NOT acceptable to Him. I Timothy 3:1,2 says, “This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work. A bishop then must be blameless, THE HUSBAND OF ONE WIFE…” I Timothy 3:12 says, “Let the deacons be THE HUSBANDS OF ONE WIFE…”
Then you would agree that this passage of scripture is speaking of polygamy?Continue reading
Holy Greetings. I came across your web site and thought I would comment. In reference to your should divorced people preach? I am divorced and do preach. I was not saved when I got my divorce and am now repented and remarried and will be getting Ordained and Co-Pastoring a Church. Jesus Christ himself said that all manner of sin shall be forgiven except blasphemy of the Holy Ghost. All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, even Pastors and Bishops and many people will sin or fall short before they reach heaven, that is why we have the Blood of Jesus Christ to help us in a time of need. I am not for sinning but rather unto a Holiness life consecrated unto Jesus, but I do feel that it is ok to Preach the Gospel if you are repented and are running for Jesus. Nathan did tell David that God was going to set a sword upon the house of David and Jesus came out of the line of David and REDEFINED the sword in Ephesians. God Bless and thanks for your web ministry.Continue reading
I know of a lady that used to be a member of a Baptist Church (she was saved and baptized at that church). Several years ago she moved her membership to another church and since that time she is disabled and living in a convalescent home and only getting around in a wheelchair. She has no way of getting around on her own and family has no way of transporting her. The church that she moved her membership to several years ago has since dis-banded and no longer exists. This lady wants to have her membership moved back to the original church of where she was saved. What is your thoughts on this matter? I cannot see this lady being able to attend very much if at all.Continue reading
Is it scriptural to look at a Pastor as the “First Missionary” out of a local church (especially in regard to how well the local church takes care of him and his family)?”
Yes, and no.Continue reading
I would like to some information in regards about slaying in the spirit from a biblical point of view.
“Slaying in the spirit” is normally the phrase associated with someone being touched by a preacher, and then immediately falling backwards. Because of a woman who fell backwards and hit her head in the process, “catchers” are now usually behind the people to gradually let them down to the floor. Also, because these people frequently move around on the floor after being “slain in the spirit,” ladies are often covered with something so that they are not immodest. In some services, whole pews full of people have went down like a row of “dominoes” as the preacher has walked by, or has touched a person on the end of the row. People have testified that they have tried to get up after being “slain in the spirit,” but could not. They describe it as feeling like “some force holding them down.”Continue reading
1 Corinthians 14:34,35 Many times this Chapter and verses are brought up in Bible Study and I would like to know if this still holds true? I see on TBN television station women preaching, is that biblical?
I Corinthians 14:34,35 says, “LET YOUR WOMEN KEEP SILENCE IN THE CHURCHES: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law. And IF THEY WILL LEARN ANY THING, LET THEM ASK THEIR HUSBANDS AT HOME: for IT IS A SHAME FOR WOMEN TO SPEAK IN THE CHURCH.”Continue reading
What is your opinion on the 700 club? I was watching it the other night and at the end when they prayed for people’s ailments that just happened to pop up in their head. Seemed more like a physic hotline or something?
Please refer to a recent question “Does God promise to heal everyone who comes to Him?”
The 700 Club is a Charismatic Organization. They do not believe the clear teaching that it is not God’s will to heal everyone of their ailments. Sometimes, God gets more glory through our lives when we are weak — not when we are strong physically. II Corinthians 12:8-10 says, “For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me. And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ’s sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.”
I have not seen the 700 Club in years, but the last time that I did, it was more like a Hollywood performance, than a ministry. You will learn far more by spending your time reading the Bible, than by watching “Hollywood Christianity” that is so deeply in error today.
Coming up through the Pentecostal era, as a child I’ve been taught God’s Word, I have seen many moves of the Holy Spirit, but it is recently I’ve been questioning some things I took as Gospel. Can you tell me is it scriptural to “Dance in the Spirit” or to “Laugh in the Spirit? I’m not talking about how David danced before the Lord.
The dancing of the Pentecostal/Charismatic/Third Wave Movements is not scriptural, because they are immodest, and it is mass confusion. The Bible is very clear in I Corinthians 14:33, “For GOD IS NOT THE AUTHOR OF CONFUSION, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.” Pentecostal/Charismatic meetings are a mass confusion of people dancing around, speaking out loud, and wild, rock music. The Bible clearly says that God is not the author of such confusion. Then who is? The devil.Continue reading
Would you mind a small discourse on God’s healing? I have to deal with this often and I would like your opinion. When the Bible says that “By his stripes, you were healed.” does this mean “Physically” unto death, or “Spiritually” unto everlasting life?Continue reading
I have recently made many changes in my life, especially regarding my faith. I have been eagerly reading my Bible, finding all kinds of things that I had forgotten about and things that I did not know before. I have also recently moved to a new community and am attending a much more charismatic church. I know that it sounds as though I am rambling on but I come from what could be described as a more conservative church background than what I am currently enjoying. However I have noticed that the occurrence of “speaking in tongues” is very frequent among those people I consider friends. My question is this: I have read Paul’s chastisement of the Corinthian church, and have a tough time seeing how anyone could honestly use this passage as a justification for “speaking in tongues”. Am I wrong to think that tongues was a device used by God in the Acts church to being the Gentiles into the fold ( or those who did not speak Greek or Hebrew ) and used these foreign languages that had never been studied by those who were given this gift and that this gift is not even for today? (sorry for the run-on sentence) It doesn’t seem to make sense to me. I don’t want to judge, but if what I am standing on is the truth of God in God’s word then I must show them this. I am slightly intimidated with the task that I feel I must do. Thanks for listening.Continue reading
