Woman With The Issue Of Blood

Jesus is our Chief Priest before God, for the redemption of our sin, he shed his blood for more than our salvation - fulfillment of all God's promises within us. In the Old Testament, when the Priest would enter the Holy of Holies in the Tabernacle, if not pure he would die. They tied a rope around his waist and strung bells along the hem of his garment as a signal of his righteousness (and health) to fulfill his duties in making the blood sacrifice before God. There is significance in the fact the woman "aimed" for the hem of Jesus' garment for this reason. She knew what she was doing, exactly where to go, what to touch. Remember, Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. She reached out for that hem to fulfill all three within her.

What Can God Do

God can NOT do anything and everthing! He is not a man that He should lie. He does not give the spirit of fear II Tim 1:7 He limits His actions to His word. He does not kill, steal and destroy. He put man in a paradise garden and gave him (man and worman) feudian slip sorry, freedom of will. They stepped over the line and God who is just...had to mete out justice. Also God dont make change or change..No He can't.....Malchi says this But rest assured He can make some thing from nothing....and He can create.

How To Release My Faith

Whether you use the wording "release your faith" or "direct your faith", faith has to have a target. Faith believes toward something because it is the substance of things hoped for. In the release or directing of your faith, you are establishing your belief toward God's promises in behalf of what you are praying toward, then you are letting go in trust that He who promised is faithful to bring it to pass. This release is the giving over of responsibility to God in bringing about His work which is not of works, therefore releasing yourself from the accomplishing of the answer.

Cheated On My Wife

Scott, I am a fellow idiot and my wife just moved out years after forgiving me. I have not had any affairs since. I dropped the ball when we stopped going to church and I pushed God out of my life. With God out of my life I did not treat my wife with the love and respect she so deserved. The reason you are worried about the email is that "YOU KNOW IT WAS WRONG!!!" With love, respect and God you have to admit to your mistake to your wife. Get some Christian counselling and LOVE your wife as Jesus Loves the Church. Thats the key to unlock both of your souls. Your in my prayers.

Biblical Eschatology

yochanon--You say there is only going to be one Resurrection? Then,we either missed it or you are wrong? What about Matthew 27:50-53 Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom, and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent,And the graves were opened, and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.

Biblical Eschatology
	Sounds to me like there has already been some part of a resurrection already.I agree there is only going to be one resurrection,however,I believe there is phases to the resurrection.Just as there is one basketball game,but 4 quarters.Even John in revealtion speaks twice of a "Come up Hither."Even Paul come to know things that was not revealed to the disciples.

Biblical Eschatology

yochanon-Paul taught the Rapture.IT is scriptural.The Last trump of 1 Cor. is not the trump of the 7th Angel of Rev. The Judgement seat of Christ is not the Great White Throne Judgement.The coming as a theif is not the same as the Coming in Power and great glory.There has already been the resurrection of the Old testament saints,just as there will be of the New Testament saints.Just as there will be a seperate one for the Lost.

Next Two Years On Earth
	In a Nut-Shell---I will be surprised if the Church is still here.I believe it is that close. Luke 21:28 (KJV) And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads, for your redemption draweth nigh.

Is Harold Camping Correct

[caught up]Greek:harpazo,grasp hastily,snatch up.From this we get our word rapture,meaning the act of transporting,as harpazo is used in Mat.13:19,Acts 8:39,2 Cor.12:2,4,1Thes.4:17,Rev.12:5.(meeting in the air).This is not the same as the Lord coming back to the Earth and setting his feet upon it.(Zech.14)(Comfort one another).Unless these were Sadducees,they believed the resurrection,so why the need for these words?For God hath not appointed us to wrath,but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ.

Is Harold Camping Correct

The Trump of God-This is not the same as the 7th trumpet of Rev.11:15-13:18.One occurs at the rapture of the church before Daniel's 70th week,one at the rapture of the manchild in the middle of the 70th week.One is the trump of God,one the trumpet of the 7th angel.One heralds an event that will take place in a moment,one heralds in many events which are days in duration.One is a trumpet of blessing,one a trumpet of woe to men.One is before the 7 seals and first 6 trumpets of Rev.6:1-9,21,one after these.

Is Harold Camping Correct

Mike-Jack VanImpe has nothing to do with this converstaion.If you will read Rev.18 with Jeremiah 50,51,You will see that these chapters harmonize together.You will also see that the"come out of her my People"is not the Church,but the Jews.The"last trunp" of 1 Cor. and 1 Thes. are totally different from the 7th Trump of Rev. Rev.12 has NOTHING to do with the Church,.but Israel.It is best not to take scripture out of context.As I have said,we can debate this and see what the results are?

Is Harold Camping Correct

1Thes.4:13-18-Paul is answering a question brought on in the previous chapter of the death of a saved loved one.Don't be ignorant and do not sorrow.Christians at death go immediately to heaven to await the resurrection of their sleeping bodies(2 Cor.5:8,Phil.1:21-24,Heb.12:22-23,Rev.6:9-11).When Christ leaves heaven to come down in the air of the earth(1 Thes.4:17)the saints who are in heaven will come back with Him and be reunited with their bodies which will be resurrected in a moment(1 Cor.15:51-58).

Is Harold Camping Correct

[coming of the Lord]The coming in the air (1 Thes.4:17),not His second coming to the earth of Zech.14,Rev.19,Matthew 24:29-31, Matthew 25:31-46,Jude 1:14.[prevent]Greek: phthano,to come before or first. It means that the living saints will not precede or go before the dead saints, but that both will go together to meet the Lord in the air(1 Thes. 4:16-17).Translated prevent(1 Thes.4:15),attain (Romans 9:31, Phil. 3:16),and come(Matthew 12:28, Luke 11:20,2 Cor.10:14,1 Thes. 2:16).

Real ID Mark Of Beast ID
	Well said Mima.We need not worry about the mark of the beast,for if one is a true born-again believer,the Lord will deliver us out before that day comes.Only he that letteth will let til he be taken out of the way.The Spirit of God is the restrainer and it cannot be taken out without the Church.Lo I am with you always,even to the end of the world,i.e. Age.

Jesus Comes As A Thief
	Dr.Rich-what is the point of going through the trib. if we have been sealed,which I believe we have,til the day of redemption,i.e.rapture.The 144,000 are the ones that bring the message during the trib. not the church.God hath not appointed us to wrath,i.e.the tribulation,but to obtain salvation,i.e.deliverence,by our Lord Jesus Christ.
