The difference is in knowing who you are in Jesus. Jeff knew his command in the name of Jesus would affect that tornado, and it did. He had absolutely no doubt. You seem to be a skeptic, thus unaware of the power of the Holy Spirit, if indeed the Spirit was even there. Any type of unbelief such...

Spoken like a true unbelievers.

I'm so glad the gifts of our New Covenant will not cease till we see Christ face to face. Here is my pastor praying against the F4 tornado that hit my city 2009. This video was on the news

Malachi 2: And this is the second thing you do: You cover the altar of the Lord with tears, With weeping and crying; So He does not regard the offering anymore, Nor receive it with goodwill from your hands. 14 Yet you say, “For what reason?” Because the Lord has been witness Between you and the...

I've never heard that.

Good night all.

All I want to know is why God allowed polygamy, when He didn't create man and women to be that way. Jesus said it was because of the hardness of the heart, but why Abraham when God was speaking to him directly.

Huh? No one said anything about not getting married. Read Matthew 19. Polygamy and concubines had already stopped. The issue was divorcing your present wife for any reason, so they could get a new one.

You keep saying that, but where?

I don't see it in Christ's time even, let alone the apostles. It seems to have already stopped.

The problem is - what law? The only law applied to women; they couldn't have more than her first husband as long as he lived; whereas men could do as they pleased.

Even up to Noah and his sons, it wasn't an issue, but it was okay for Abraham all the way up to Solomon? I don't understand why it wasn't part of the Law. Women were treated abominably. Can you imagine being raped, and then the rapist has to marry her??? Great husband material!

I think it means not only against polygamy, but no divorced elders or deacons. It may have to do with Ezekiel 44:21 No priest shall drink wine when he enters the inner court. 22 They shall not take as wife a widow or a divorced woman, but take virgins of the descendants of the house of Israel...

I want to know. It matters to me.

I know - before and after the law was given.

I don't think so. Paul was a Jew from the tribe of Benjamin. What you said sounds more like Timothy, or was his father, Greek?

Jesus makes it pretty clear in Matthew 19. One wife; one husband. What I don't understand is why God didn't put is foot down on concubines!

So you are a Universalist? Is that what you are saying? All mankind is saved? We don't need to do anything, not even know about Jesus, let alone follow Him? Now you are talking like your Avatar.

We had to repent to receive grace. Abraham just trusted God and acted on His word; Abraham had faith in God.

He was before the law, and His trust and obedience to God was imputed to him as righteousness. Salvation is NOT a free gift; it was bought with a heavy price. Our assurance of salvation is based on keeping Christ's commandments and pleasing God. Jesus didn't die so we could sin; He died to free...
