The proverb does not mean God has chosen one prudent woman "just for you", rather it instructs a man to limit his search for a God-fearing sister in the church who attend all church services of her own free will, is active when she needs to be and holds herself to the high moral standards of Jesus Christ. God does not choose your wife, you do, but be warned, the only prudent wives are the ones who attend church every week. The foolishness of marrying a non-Christian is seen in the book of Hosea: "the Lord said to Hosea, "Go, take to yourself a wife of harlotry and have children of harlotry; for the ...

402: Alleged Bible contradictions refuted: Harmony of Matthew 28; ...
If the Bible is truly the Word of God, as Jesus said, then it must be treated with respect, trust, and complete obedience. Unlike all other books known to man, the Scriptures come to us from God; and in them we confront the ever-living, ever-present God (2 Tim. 3:16-17). When we are unable to understand God's ways or are unable to comprehend His words, we must bow before Him in humility and patiently wait for Him to clear up the difficulty or to deliver us from our trials as He sees fit. There is very little that God will long withhold from the surrendered heart and mind of a true believer. Carefully study the context and framework of the verse in which the problem arises until you ... That takes hard work. Intuition or snap judgment may catch one up in a web of fallacy and subjective bias. This often results in heresy that hinders the cause of the Lord one professes to serve. In the case of parallel passages, the only method that can be justified is harmonization. That is to say, all ... ...

403: Does your salvation experience match the Bible pattern?
The first recorded example is found in Acts, Chapter 2. When Peter and the other apostles filled with the Holy Spirit, spoke to the great multitude on the day of Pentecost and told them that God had raised His Son, whom they had crucified, to be the Saviour of all who call upon His name (verse 21). Believing the apostle's message and being convicted of the enormous sin of rejecting and consenting to the crucifixion of God's Son, they asked "Men and brethren, what shall we do? Then Peter said unto them. 'Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the promise is unto you and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.' And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, 'save yourselves from this untoward generation'. Then they that gladly received his word were baptized" Acts 2: 37-41. Another example of conversion is ... ...

405: Encyclopedia Americana
XXVII, p. 294L., is deceptive because it projects the false impression that early Christian teaching" was not Trinitarian. "For the early Christian belief that Jesus was divine, the Son of God, and that as the risen, glorified Messiah or Lord, He was now at the right hand of God: required the use of theistic language." (Encyclopedia Americana, Trinity, p116) The correct way to quote this source would be to say that some of the details of Trinitarian theology that 4th century Christians taught, was not as refined as the Trinitarian theology taught in the Bible. However both taught trinity, the uncreated deity of Christ and the ...

410: Must I giving $$$Money$$$ to the church?
In I Corinthians 6:19-20, the Apostle Paul says, "Ye are not your own; for you were bought with a price". And Peter in his first letter, Chapter 1, verse 18-19, says: "We were redeemed (or bought again) not with silver or gold . . . but with precious blood. even the blood of Christ". This means that as Christians we belong completely to the Lord our bodies and minds, our abilities, and whatever comes into our possession. In Acts 4:32, it is said of the Christians at Pentecost that "Not one of them said that the things which he possessed was his own", but many sold their possessions to supply the needs of others. Since our bodies, minds, abilities, and possessions are actually all gifts from God, we are in reality stewards of his bounty to use what he entrusts to us as he directs. It is evident that a part of what he gives us must be used for our living expenses. Jesus says in Matthew 6: 31-32, that the Lord knows we have need of food, clothing, and other necessities of life.

427: The Tragedy of Disbelieving in the supernatural God!
The Tragedy of Disbelieving in the supernatural God! The writer, Humboldt, very fittingly said, "I am convinced that our happiness depends more on the way we meet the events of life, than on the nature of those events themselves".

Commandments of men, even though they be of a religious nature, play no part in our salvation and worship to God, according to Matthew 15:9.

432: Why Be A Christian?
The second time we find the name Christian is in the same New Testament book, "Acts of Apostles" Chapter 26, verse 28. The Apostle Paul was given an opportunity to speak before King Agrippa, and tell why he was a believer in Jesus. At the conclusion of his speech, King Agrippa said, "almost thou persuade me to be a Christian". The Apostle Peter gives us some very direct instructions formed in his first letter, I Peter, Chapter 4, verse 16. First he warns us not to be a murderer, or a thief, or an evil doer, or a busy-body in other peoples business. (This is in verse 15). Following these statements he says: "Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf". The name "Christian" is divided into two parts - Christ and "ian". It means belonging to Christ. Therefore, when we wear the name Christian, we are wearing Christ's name and we tell the world we belong to Christ. The name of Christ is the only name we are to wear, and whereby we ... ...

Here the construction shows that the Apostle is speaking of three distinct Persons. Moreover, since the names God and Holy Ghost are alike Divine names, it follows that Jesus Christ is also regarded as a Divine Person.

There can be no doubt that the Apologists' thought was highly confused; they were very far from having worked the threefold pattern of the Church's faith into a coherent scheme. In this connection it is noteworthy that Justin did not assign the Holy Spirit any role in the incarnation.

436: Heaven: Jehovah's Witness style Error #5
JW's will say that they will have spiritual flesh with no blood when they read this verse... Nice try!
