Christ\n\nDeu 18:18  I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him. \nJoh 12:49  For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.\nJoh 7:16  Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.\n\nEnough, there's your answer.\nWhat are you trying to prove.\n\nJust another example. This wasn't a question at all. Some biblical illiterate trying to make some useless point.

Jesus spoke quite explicitly about the written Scriptures and the oral traditions. Bible students today also see a clear difference between the so-called "Torah" (the written Hebrew Scriptures, or "Old Testament") and oral works which became the Mishnah and Talmud.\n\n(Matthew 4:4) [Jesus] said: “It is written, ‘Man must live, not on bread alone, but on every utterance coming forth through Jehovah’s mouth.’”\n\n(Deuteronomy 8:3) Not by bread alone does man live but by every expression of Jehovah’s mouth does man live.\n\n\nClearly, Jesus respected the written Scriptures and taught respect for them. By comparison, note the disdain with which Jesus referred to the oral traditions:\n\n(Matthew 5:43-44) You heard that it was said, ‘You must love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ 44 However, I say to you: Continue to love you enemies and to pray for those persecuting you; \n\n(Matthew 15:6-9) . . .And so you have made the word of God invalid because of your tradition. 7 You hypocrites, Isaiah aptly prophesied about you, when he said, 8 ‘This people honors me with their lips, yet their heart is far removed from me. 9 It is in vain that they keep worshiping me, because they teach commands of men as doctrines.’” \n\nLearn more:\nhttp://watchtower.org/e/20050101a/\nhttp://watchtower.org/archives/index.htm#bible

just go by what the word says and not people.there are to many Church's out there who preach there opinion rather than the word.read that entire chapter of Corinthians.Paul does stress that speaking in tongues is necessary.he say that is is better to prophesy than speak in tongues and that tongues should be spoken only when someone has the gift of interpreting.god is a god of order and there are to many Church's who are out of order when it comes to speaking in tongues.1Corinthians has everything you need to know.

Having grown up in Pentecostal churches I can say that it is a doctrinal statement and NOT a scripture. It is derived from reading of the experiences of the early church and evangelistic successes. The true evidence of having received the Holy Spirt are the fruit as others have mentioned. Certainly we would expect "Holiness" right? And of course Jesus made it an absolute requirement for His disciples.\nWhy? \nI have been working on this for years... I believe we are to wait corporately for a revelation of Jesus as "glorified King". This is what we are to be witnesses of. It was this revelation that transformed common men into "uncommon" men. This is when they really changed. After that event they were unstoppable and filled with power. They were effective and walked in wisdom. I think this is our mandate also. What do you think about my suggestion?

I generally despise Bible quotes as answers, but I think this one might be appropriate:\n\n(Exodus 32:27-29) and Moses told them, "Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: Put your sword on your hip, everyone of you!  Now go up and down the camp, from gate to gate, and slay your kinsmen, your friends and neighbors!"  The Levites carried out the command of Moses, and that day there fell about three thousand of the people.  Then Moses said, "Today you have dedicated to the Lord, for you were against your own sons and kinsmen, to bring a blessing upon yourselves this day."\n\nMoses had 3,000 of his own people executed in one day.  What a wonderful person.  We should all be just like him ...\n\n... or maybe not.

"Eat the food you gathered yesterday. Today is a Sabbath, the Lord's day of rest;"\n\n"This is what the Lord commanded, because tomorrow is the Sabbath, the Lord's holy day of rest."\n\n"but the seventh day is a day of rest to honor the Lord your God."\n\n"So the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath day"\n\n"So then, the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath day." \n\n"Then Jesus said to the Pharisees, 'The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath day.'"\n\nI think that pretty well settels it!

hi.. First of all, I would like to congratulate you for choosing the way of Christ.\n\nI'll try to answer your question to the best of my ability.\n\nI believe that when God speaks about All flesh\nin Joel 2:28 "And i shall come to pass afterwards that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions."\nHe meant the believers or someone who is being prepared for the Lord's works.\n\nIf you check sub chapters before that verse, God talks about A call to repentance and the land refreshed.\nThe Lord obviously speaks about the people who repent and refreshed into the new creation in Christ (believers).\nThus, I conclude that All flesh, in Joel 2:28, means All believers\n\nThat's why it is important to always read at least a chapter or two before and after the verse.\nFor the bible works as a whole; we should avoid reading bible verses by chopping it individually. If we do that, there is a chance for us to take the verse out of the original context. \n\nAnd, yes there are still prophets appointed by God.\nand as it is true that there are true prophets, there are also false prophets/teachers.\n\nand your question is How we can tell the true from the false one, right?\n\nthere are 3 steps for us to know that a prophet is a false one or not:\n1. God says "My People perish from the lack of knowledge." It is very important for us to read the bible and pray everyday to build a sweet and intimate relationship with God. And also sharpen our knowledge about God's characters.\nWe know that Jesus has warned us about the false prophets/ messiahs in Matthew 24:24-28. So, when there are news about  messiahs that come to deliver us from sin, we knew that we have to be careful with those fake messiahs. We know in our heart that Jesus Christ is our only messiah that no one comes to the Father without going trough Him.\n\n2. From reading the bible everyday and become more and more alert and sensitive to God's voice, we knew that the true prophet sent by God will NEVER contradict the bible.\nSo, when a teacher/prophets come to you and said that he is the messiah or something like you should divorce your husband, we know immediately that this prophet is a false teachers and should be avoided.\nRemember! the bible is the ultimate guide that you should use to check whether a prophet is false or not.\n\nwhen they go against the bible, don't waste your time.\nPack your things and go.. Don't bother listening to them.\n\n3. What if the prophet looks and sounds fine for now...but in the future, he will finally shown his true self. how do you know  that he's not going to trap you in his web of lies. For we know that the devil is cunning and deceitful.\n\nWell, go and look in matthew 7: 15-20.\nIt is okay and even recommended to test those people.\nDon't accept them immediately just because they said they are prophets.\nDon't be rude to them, but keep your Spiritual alert system on all the time.\nTest the fruits and the labors. For the things that came from the Lord always bring forth peace and goodness.\n\nTake whatever good and biblical inside. but, disregard the weird teachings. Keep alert and pray all the time for the Holy Spirit to reveal the truth to you about those prophets.\n \n\nHopefully that helps,\nIn jesus name,\n\n\nAmen

ok \nRomans12:1I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. 2And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

In the Bible it says "Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another:  and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching."  \n\nsorry, I misquoted the first time

God inspired the prophets to write the bible, it is the Word of God and what we have to go on. However I don't and am not spoon fed by religious leaders. I am glad that we are free in the US to own a bible and read for ourselves.

1 Thessalonians 4:11-12\n11 and to make it your ambition to lead a quiet life and attend to your own business and work with your hands, just as we commanded you, \n12 so that you will behave properly toward outsiders and not be in any need. \n\nActs 6:1-6\n1 And in those days, when the number of the disciples was multiplied, there arose a murmuring of the Grecians against the Hebrews, because their widows were neglected in the daily ministration. \n2 Then the twelve called the multitude of the disciples unto them, and said, It is not reason that we should leave the word of God, and serve tables. \n3 Wherefore, brethren, look ye out among you seven men of honest report, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business. \n4 But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word. \n5 And the saying pleased the whole multitude: and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Ghost, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas a proselyte of Antioch: \n6 Whom they set before the apostles: and when they had prayed, they laid their hands on them. \n\n1 Timothy 5:1-21\n1 Rebuke not an elder, but intreat him as a father; and the younger men as brethren; \n2 The elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, with all purity. \n3 Honour widows that are widows indeed. \n4 But if any widow have children or nephews, let them learn first to shew piety at home, and to requite their parents: for that is good and acceptable before God. \n5 Now she that is a widow indeed, and desolate, trusteth in God, and continueth in supplications and prayers night and day. \n6 But she that liveth in pleasure is dead while she liveth. \n7 And these things give in charge, that they may be blameless. \n8 But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel. \n9 Let not a widow be taken into the number under threescore years old, having been the wife of one man. \n10 Well reported of for good works; if she have brought up children, if she have lodged strangers, if she have washed the saints' feet, if she have relieved the afflicted, if she have diligently followed every good work. \n11 But the younger widows refuse: for when they have begun to wax wanton against Christ, they will marry; \n12 Having damnation, because they have cast off their first faith. \n13 And withal they learn to be idle, wandering about from house to house; and not only idle, but tattlers also and busybodies, speaking things which they ought not. \n14 I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully. \n15 For some are already turned aside after Satan. \n16 If any man or woman that believeth have widows, let them relieve them, and let not the church be charged; that it may relieve them that are widows indeed. \n17 Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine. \n18 For the scripture saith, thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And, The labourer is worthy of his reward. \n19 Against an elder receive not an accusation, but before two or three witnesses. \n20 Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear. \n21 I charge thee before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the elect angels, that thou observe these things without preferring one before another, doing nothing by partiality.

Although those words were addressed to the past, they are also quite appropriate for our day.\n\nNotice also his words to Timothy, concerning events that would definitely occur in our day:\n\n"But know this, that in the last days critical times hard to deal with will be here. For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, self-assuming, haughty, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, disloyal, having no natural affection, not open to any agreement, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, without love of goodness, betrayers, headstrong, puffed up [with pride], lovers of pleasures rather than lovers of God, having a form of godly devotion but proving false to its power; and from these turn away."

Jesus(The christ) PBUH is a messenger that was sent by ALLAH,so He didnot say except what ALLAH wanted Him to say.And as ALLAH is ONE,so he cannot say worship me rather than ALLAH.Read these verses,\nALLAH says"AND REMEMBER WHEN ALLAH WILL SAY(ON THE DAY OF RESURRECTION):O JESUS,SON OF MARRY!DID YOU SAY UNTO MEN:WORSHIP ME AND MY MOTHER AS TWO GODS BESIDE ALLAH!HE WILL SAY:GLORY BE TO YOU!IT WAS NOT FOR ME TO SAY WHAT I HAD NO RIGHT TO SAY.HAD I SAID SUCH A THING,YOU WOULD SURELY HAVE KNOWN IT,YOU KNOW WHAT IS IN MY INNER SELF THOUGH I DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS IN YOURS,TRULY,ONLY YOU,ARE THE ALL KNOWER OF ALL THAT IS HIDDEN AND UNSEEN"holy quran\nalso read these,\nALLAH says"NEVER DID I SAY TO THEM AUGHT EXCEPT WHAT YOU(ALLAH) DID COMMAND ME TO SAY:(WORSHIP ALLAH,MY LORD AND YOURS).AND I WAS A WITNESS OVER THEM WHILE I DWELT AMONGST THEM,BUT WHEN YOU TOOK ME UP,YOU WERE THE WATCHER OVER THEM,AND YOU ARE A WITNESS TO ALL THINGS(THIS IS A GREAT ADMONITION AND WARNING TO THE CHRISTIANS OF THE WHOLE WORLD)"holy quran.

Don't worry my dear, very soon I shall be sending something your way that will test your faith, and only the strong of faith and mind will survive. I have great confidence that you will survive, but many of those of whom you speak... I should say no more, I have already said too much. People who are not strong in their own faith will always try to find others to make them stronger. But it does not work that way, as I am sure you know. They would even send Me, the center of their cult, (which, by the way, I am fairly certain I warned against iodizing in My 10 Commandments. In fact, if I am not much mistaken, it was the First, and the most important.) threatening Instant Messages, telling Me to have respect for Myself. They would try to save their own Lord and God.

This passage has gotten a lot of attention over the years - It seems everyone knows this passage - whether they know anything else about the Bible or not!\nMany (most?) overlook the fact that this command does not stand alone. Paul had already given this command for silence twice in the same passage - once applied to those who speak in tongues, and once to the prophets, and finally to the women. In all three cases, a close examination of the original language will show that the exact same words are used each time, however, most translations render it differently for the command to women.\nIn these three verses, "be silent" had to do with taking turns. It is not a unilateral command to for all time - it is a call for order and direction; for the proper use of the giftings God has bestowed on the various members of the church.\n\nPaul was making sure that women were not left out of the church! He knew that they were at a disadvantage in the culture, with little (closer to NO) opportunity for education. Paul sought to eradicate that, so that by their husband's instruction, they could function as peers. This might seem like a small thing today, but at that time it was HUGE. Even while he was correcting the chaos of the church, he was providing a way for the women to better themselves. His words were not harsh authoritarianism, relegating women to to some narrow role. On the contrary, they were opening new doors of opportunity for those who society had excluded and ingnored.\nClose examination of other Scriptures will reveal that Paul considered, Chloe, Priscilla, Stephana, and Phoebe, to be Annointed by God to leadership positions withing the church.\nPriscilla instructed Apollos, and neither Luke, nor Paul criticized this fact.\nThere is considerable evidence to suggest that Priscilla could have been the writer of the book of Hebrews.\nPaul even mentions pointedly that Phoebe was a deacon of the church in Chencrea.

There are too many to list!!! \nHowever here are a few:\n\nProverbs 25:11 Like apples of gold in settings of silver \nIs a word spoken in right circumstances.\n\nJames 1:22 But prove yourselves to be doers of the word, and not merely hearers who delude themselves.\n\nProverbs 18:10 The name of the Lord is a strong tower\nThe righteous runs into is and is safe.\n\nThanks for asking. It brightens up the day to have a nice question like yours!
