Can Mental Illness Be Healed

Mary...yes of course God understands exactly where you are, and he knows how to take you where he wants you to go. One of my favorite bible verses is,Isaiah 42:3 A broken reed, he will not break, and smoking flax..he will not quench. This means he is extremely gentle with anyone that is already struggling. You are safe with him...rest in his love, and let him lead you.Over and over he tells us to "fear not." (((hugs))

Can A Woman Be A Pastor

Galatians 3:23-29 23But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed. 24Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. 25But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. 26For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. 27For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28There 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. 29And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

Can A Woman Be A Pastor

34Let 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. 35And 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. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Why is this verse always left out,when the above verse is quoted? 36What? came the word of God out from you? or came it unto you only? And also, if the Holy Spirit is available to all, and he is, his hands would be tied, if he could not work thru a woman.

Break Ten Commandments
	The way I see it is that Jesus paid the price to redeem us from the law, so that he could change our want to. If he truly lives in us WE NO LONGER WANT TO SIN. HE HAS CHANGED OUR WANT TO'S.

Who Makes It Into Heaven
	Receive the Lord Jesus Christ, and walk in love toward all around you.

Was Eve Carnal Before Fall
	She failed when the temptation came. Just as we will do, if not very careful. We must know Gods word, and be prepared to stand upon it... in every situation, if possible. and it is, if we determine to be obedient. Jesus said... You love me... (if).... you obey my commandments.

Must Pastors Be Educated

The criteria should not be, This does not seem right to me..... that is judgement from the head... & following the call of God on ones life, involves the heart. Using the head, one has the right to determine if the one standing in the pulpit, is truly preaching/teaching the word of God, in the right spirit... if he/she is... Do not touch Gods annointed... no matter what credentials of man he may or may not have. Unless you want to be in trouble with God himself.

Can We Become Sinless

I don't think under the old law that anyone had the incentive to" become sinless..." only thru the extreme sacrifice that Jesus was willing to give, did we even desire to begin to put our sins away. His offering led the way, and now, we sin not.. because of our love for him, not because we are commanded to. Anytime you tell someone they have to do something, it incites rebellion in their heart, Jesus took this away, and motivated us by love, instead.

Is There Eternal Security
	I think the answer to that is yes, to the true believer, & how do we know what a true believer is? Jesus said, you would know them by the love they had, the fruit that they brought forth & whether or not, they obeyed his commandments. If one can answer yes to all these things, they do not have to fear the other words of Jesus, Depart from me, ye workers of iniquity, I never knew you.

Am I A Prophet Of God
	I think it would be extremely rude to interrupt anyone that is speaking, so, whatever this is, is not of God, because God would not do that. I imagine that it might have roots in the occult. Fasting and prayer, should deliver you from this tendency, if you want to walk in truth.

Do You Feel Evil Shadows Around
	Satan is involved in this, do you have a pastor to talk to about this? Prayer and fasting can bring these occurances to an end.

What If Big Bang Is True
	When all is said and done, the proof will be there that the big bang happened, when God said... "let there be".... and it was.

Was Jesus Illegitmate

To the unbelievers, yes, but, to the believers.. no. And the truth is that his mother, Mary, actually could have been stoned to death... under the law at the time, this took place, so, it required great faith, on her part to participate in this. Can you even begin to imagine what that had to be like for a young girl.... standing alone. With the highest calling a woman could possibly have, and really no one to talk to about it. Knowing how much women enjoy each others company, and like to discuss things, I think Mary was very much alone, until she went to her cousins house, Elizabeth, John the Baptists mother. Amazing... indeed.

Most Christians Don't Help

We have substitued the church, for God. And we leave everything to the man behind the pulpit, instead of working out our own salvation, with fear and trembling, like the word says, we have become followers, instead of leaders. We take someone else's word for what is in the bible, instead of finding out for ourselves, and our 2 hours on Sunday, we consider as our service to the Lord, when, that is only a fraction of what God had in mind for us. We are complacent, and do not want to rock the status quo. God says we have left our first love, and that we are lukewarm, and he will spew us out of his mouth, unless we repent, and do the first works over. Or go back to the basics, that are very clear in his word.

Don't Ask God's Forgiveness

Leslie.. I am with you on this one. Jesus told the woman at the well, to go & sin no more. This was an act on her part, he empowered her to do this, just as he does us, when we are sincere. This thinking is what has allowed Christian after Christian to remain in sin,with the whole world watching. The church is in a mess, because of this. Sin needs to stop, now. Turn from it, so that he does not have to bring chastisement into your life. The fear of the Lord, needs to return to the church.

Why Doesn't God Give Me A Mate

Have you asked him this? Perhaps something is standing in the way, such as disobedience in some area? Or perhaps it is just not yet time? Or perhaps it is not his will for you to have a mate? He is the only one that can answer this for you. Fasting is designed to help us get closer to God, and get the flesh out of the way, maybe devote some time to that, along with prayer and the word. Things may become a little clearer.

Are You Part Of God's Remnant
	Ye shall know them, by the fruit they produce.
