MEN AND WOMEN ABOUT SEX WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY?

Naturally, men and women have different attitudes with sex. For men, sex is usually seen as a necessary aspect of the love. For the women, love is seen as a necessary aspect of the sex.

Ephesians 2:1-2 - "As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient."
John 3:20 - "Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed."
Matthew 25:41 - "Depart from me you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels."Verses to learn: Matthew  8:16,17
That evening they brought to him many who were oppressed by demons, and he cast out the spirits with a word and healed all who were sick. This was to fulfil what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah: ‘He took our illnesses and bore our diseases’.
Passages to read: Numbers 22; 1 Kings 18; Matthew 16:21-28

What does it mean to be saved?

1. One must HEAR the truth. "So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God" (Romans 10:17).

2. He must BELIEVE in God and Christ. "But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him" (Hebrews 11:6). Christ said, "Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me" (John 14:1).

3. He must REPENT of his sins. "I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish" (Luke 13:3).

4. He must CONFESS Christ to be the Son of God. Christ said himself, "Therefore whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven" (Matthew 10:32).

5. And he must be BAPTIZED for the remission of his sins. This baptism is a burial in water (Romans 6:3,4; Acts 8:26-39). "He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned" (Mark 16:16). "Then Peter said to them, 'Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit'"(Acts 2:38).

WHO IS THE HEAD OF THE CHURCH

Christ built the church (Matthew 16:18). That church is made up of the called out, the world over (Colossians 1:13-14). It is made up of the saved (Acts 2:47). It is His spiritual body (Ephesians 4:4).

The church is all over the world. It is made up of hundreds and thousands of individual congregations. Each congregation is made up of many individual members. This means that the government of the church is local. It is not national or international. In other words, the Lord's church does not have an earthly head or an earthly headquarters.

The Bible teaches that Christ is the head of the church. Let us observe the following verses: "And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all" (Ephesians 1:22-23). "For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body" (Ephesians 5:23). "And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence" (Colossians 1:18). Now what do these verses teach? They teach that Christ is the head of the body, which is the church. How many heads are there? Just one! Christ is that one. He does not share that position with anyone else.

Since Christ is that head of the church, that means He is the head of each local congregation or local church. It also means He is the head of each member of the church. Paul said, "But I want you to know that the head of every man is Christ, the head of woman is man, and the head of Christ is God" (1 Corinthians 11:3).

WHAT IS THE LORDS SUPPER AND WHAT DOES IT REPRESENT ?

The Lord's supper is the taking of wine and eating of bread to remember the blood of Jesus and the body of Christ.That Christ lay down his life as a lamb without blemish to take away the sins of all of us.And that this is a representation of a perfect sacrifice that is very important today since we know for sure we have something that keeps on reminding us of the gift of eternal life that was given to us through this sacrifice.

A little extra information: Importance of Christ's body:

Ephesians 2:15 (KJV) 15 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;

How?

Matthew 27:50-51 (NIV) 50 And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up his spirit. 51 At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook and the rocks split.

We have a description of the veil of the tabernacle in Ex. 26:31-33. This veil divided the tabernacle into two parts as the veil of the temple divided it into two parts, the holy place and the most holy. This veil was rent by the tempest and concussion of the earthquake. This signified the breaking down of the partition wall between Jew and Gentile, and the opening of the way for all men into the innermost recesses of the true temple, which is the church of God. It also signified the opening of those heavenly regions that the Holy Spirit should come down to bless men; and finally, it showed the desertion of the temple by Jehovah and the end of the Jewish covenant. It was divided into two pieces.

Importance of Christ's blood:

Hebrews 9:22-23 (KJV) 22 And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission. 23 It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.

Matthew 26:27-28 (NIV) 27 Then he took the cup, gave thanks and offered it to them, saying, "Drink from it, all of you. 28 This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.

This is what I remember as I partake of the "Lord's Supper."

THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN LIFE,WHY DO WE LIVE?

What is the most important thing in your life? What is even more important than food, drink, clothes and a place to stay? What is more important than education and a job? Most of us value these highly. Yet they help life only during our stay in this fleshly body -- which is all too brief!

"Show me, O LORD, my life's end and the number of my days; let me know how fleeting is my life. You have made my days a mere handbreadth; the span of my years is as nothing before you. Each man's life is but a breath" (Psalm 39:4-5).

"Now listen, you who say, 'Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money.' Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes" (James 4:13-14).

TO BE BORN AGAIN

"You brood of vipers! Do not think you can say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham as our father.' I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham" (Matthew 3:7-9).

Jesus adds another surprise. Anyone seeking to enter God's kingdom must be born again! Nicodemus thinks only of another fleshly birth. "Surely he cannot enter a second time into his mother's womb to be born!" (John 3:4). Jesus is requiring spiritual re-birth. He explains,

"Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit" (John 3:6).

SPIRITUALISM

Spiritualism had its heyday during the 1840s and at the turn of the century in North America and Western Europe. During these periods of wars and upheaval, people sought comfort by contact with their departed loved ones. Historians often point to March 31, 1948, as the birth date of the Spiritualism movement, when Margaret and Kate Fox, of Hydesville, New York, first made the astonishing announcement that they had contacted the spirit of a murdered peddler in their home. The peddler communicated with them by knocking on the table or wall. Thereafter, séances flourished among the upper middle class and the wealthy in America. Mediums, such as Paschal Beverly Randolph and Cora Scott, toured the country giving lectures and demonstrations. During this time, the writings of Franz Mesmer, from whom the term “mesmerism” is derived, particularly influenced the Spiritualist view of the afterlife and contact with the supernatural.

WHAT IS THE TRUE CHURCH?

The questions below will help you try to access what the true church is

;

• "Who established my church? Was it established by Christ or some man?" Then ask,
• "Where was my church established?" Did it have its beginning in Jerusalem or some other place?"  Continue by asking,
• "When was my church established?" If it was after A.D. 33, it couldn't be the Lord's. And finally, ask yourself,
• "What name does my church wear?" If it is not the name of the Lord, then how can it belong to Christ?

Jesus,s Mother

When Jesus saw his mother there, and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to his mother, “Dear woman, here is your son,” and to the disciple, “Here is your mother.” From that time on, this disciple took her into his home. (John 19:26-27)
