1 Corinthians 12:3 - Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.
The word accursed is the word ANATHEMA and it means to devote someone to the Lord for destruction. A sacrifice on the altar would be an ANATHEMA. So, he says nobody under the influence of the Holy Spirit can say that Jesus is cursed. On the other hand, and that no man can say that Jesus is Lord, except by the Holy Spirit, or the Holy Ghost.
Now literally, it does not say Jesus is Lord in any Greek text. It says Lord Jesus. That's all it says in the Greek text! There's no word "is." It's literally Lord Jesus. Paul did not mean for these words to be a systematic sentence that you can recite and that proves that you're saved.
Anybody can say "Jesus is Lord." Even the unsaved, and even demons have said that in the gospels and confessed who Jesus was. What Paul is saying is that no one can call upon Jesus as their Lord. No one can say personally "Lord Jesus." That's personal between me and Him, and no one can call upon Him as their personal Lord without the Holy Spirit!
That is something that can be easily missed, as you said. I don't know how many times I used to read over this and not put it together. I believe that God also ordains division. Preaching causes division. You can preach the word of God to a large group of people, some will stick around, and some will leave. That's one division. Teaching is for believers and it also causes division because not everyone agrees with what the word says, even though we have the same bible. That's why we have so many different denominations. Division!

COGIC WORSHIP 1 Corinthians 15:3-4:Jesus Christ is God, I worship a God of the Universe. A God of good tidings.God that saves and to believe. A God that is the Anoited one. A God that is leader of your life. A God of Salvation. A God that has never willed otherwise. A God that is good and well being.
Jesus Christ reinforce the faith of the family that they taken blows from the world shall receive the balm of lifefulness to recovery. Tame their nerves that they will rather mediate on the completion of God's deed to rest easy from responsibilities. And bring the family closer to stick through the times concentrating on pillars of faith to withstand anything coming. Amen.
Jesus Christ accord to this request with the abundance of Your name that blooms the fields that the harvest shortly yields produce for us to collect. Each moment is refilled for us to enjoy the plentitude that Christ died for to save us from any shortage and disappointment. Amen.
Jesus the Messiah, the spring of God gushes outright Fortunate so that the parched and tiresome lands shall turn into a forest with fruits. He answers in our moment of wanting badly to replenish it back to normal, because we have a right to approach Him as a Father. He gave us the say so in the sonship or daughtership that all things are obtainable by simple faith. Amen.
Jesus the Messiah, we pray for the invigoration of the Holy Ghost in this family that the spirit reduced tender and weakened by Life's unpredictableness, shall come bold and toughened. Manifest the touches of love in creation that the Breath, the Food and the Friends and Family we get are ordained by God as our portion to comfort us while we make spiritual pilgrimages. Amen.
Jesus the Messiah, hedge this family and alliances roundabout them with the grace that keeps a town safe for centuries. The Lord patrols the land looking for opportune roads for His church to take when the development changes all do safety. Amen.
Giannis, I will certainly keep you in prayers. I am sorry you are experiencing hardship. May God bless you in every way that prospers you for His kingdom and comfort you in difficulties.
Happily, the tree is down and we can continue with the our plans to make our home and yard disabled friendly and accommodating to our needs for the remaining time God has us here, the Lord willing.
I know that the place Jesus has prepared for me in the life to come will be perfectly suited to our glorified persons. So, I don't bank on retaining physical things in this life. However, God has provided us with the means to make our residence here meet the needs of our aging bodies. We are grateful for such a blessing as I know that many people do not have this for their senior years. We are not fancy people and very practical minded in how we live our daily lives. Extravagance is not something we embrace. We are glad we have a home that can house my husband and I, my second son, and my youngest son, his wife and our grandbaby. It is tough for young people to get into their own houses in the economy and real estate market here in Washington state. But having a place for them to live is something we want to provide until they can make it out there on their own. Our oldest just bought his first house this summer and he and his wife moved in in September. He is almost 41.
So, God be praised in times of want and in times of supply. I remind myself how Paul said to be content in all circumstances we find ourselves faced with, being confident that God is the one who supplies all of our needs according to His riches in glory, His mercy, and faithfulness in all things.
I had the same thing two Christmas' ago. Walking pneumonia is as serious as common pneumonia, but it is caused by a different bacteria than what causes common pneumonia. This bacteria causes croup, bronchitis and walking (atypical) pneumonia. It progressed through all three of these for me beginning with croup. Glad she recovered from it and you did not get it as well.fo
Thanks be to God for His healing power and for making our bodies able to work against ill nesses unto wellness again.
We will be viewing the take down of fifty year old maple tree from the neighbor's property that is close to our property line. It is mostly dead and the dead branches have been flying off in windstorms. Our yard gets the brunt of it every time and this week a branch hit our windshield and shattered it. We 've wanted this tree to come down for 30 years because it is a hazard leaning towards us but up to know none of the owners have wanted to remove it. We are thankful it is being removed safely. Its roots have upheaved and are exposed making our front lawn hard to mow. We had planned to regrade the yard and plant new grass but we did not compromise the tree by taking out roots. Now we can do this regrade when we have equipment and an operator to take out or drive which has cracks from the tree roots along with our front porch, sidewalk, and back patio which were damaged in the earthquake of '02. We will put in decking on the porches and cement the drive and walkway again.
Lots of work to be done outdoors. Need to replace the fence first, this other work hopefully before spring. Then we will be painting the exterior of the house and covering the deck in spring/summer.
Oh, Yeah, limbs are starting to be cut right now. A happy day for us!
Hello, I am Kevin. My church friend & I are seeking Christian wives, We are having fun with it. We also hang out with other single Christian men & talk about these issues. Keep the faith, there is a new adventure coming; God will provide & AMEN.
Hello I am Kevin: May God bless you all & meet all your needs; don't give up as every person on the earth has problems. Keep going, find new purpose, pray for me too I've got financial problems & worries. Keep moving forward there is HOPE.
1 Corinthians 12:1 - Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant.
The word "gifts" is in italics which means that in the Greek text, the word gifts is not even there. It is not talking about spiritual gifts that we are given. The translators put it here which causes a lot of debate among believers.
The literal translation is "Now concerning the things of the Spirit." What's the difference between spiritual gifts and the things of the Spirit? Paul is introducing to us that the focal point of the teaching of ministry are the abilities and the capacities of the Holy Spirit. Paul is saying that there is one Spirit and He has all the abilities and capacities for all of the ministry things of God.
1 Corinthians 12:2 - Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led.
You know that you were Gentiles. Usually that means opposite of Jew. But in this instance, it has to do with non-believer. Most of them are still Gentiles. But he's making reference to their unbelief. Carried away unto these dumb idols. The word dumb means voiceless, voiceless idols. Paul is emphasizing that they are being led around by the worship of an idol that has no life to it. It doesn't speak. It doesn't do anything. And as pagans, they were following after these voiceless idols.
If you are led to do a study on the mystic religions, you'll learn that the pagan Gentiles were involved in idolatry to the point that they would sing and chant until they reached a point of psychological and emotional euphoria. It almost sounds like church somewhere, doesn't it?
They would sing and chant until they reached a point of psychological and emotional euphoria. They would leave feeling good and say that the worship of the idol did it, whoever the idol is, and he's the one that made them feel this way! Paul is pointing out to them that they were led by voiceless, lifeless idols in their worship.
1 Corinthians 10:25 - Whatsoever is sold in the shambles, that eat, asking no question for conscience sake:
The King James says "shambles," but it is actually the Greek word for marketplace. The command is eat it, asking no question for conscience sake:
If it's sold down in the marketplace and there's no tag on it saying that it's offered to an idol, it's just a piece of meat. Go ahead and eat it!
1 Corinthians 10:31 - Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.
It doesn't make a difference what you do. Everything that you do, do it for the glory of God. The word glory is the word DOXA and it means substance. The glory of God is the substance of God. Do everything that people will see the very nature and substance of God. That should be the motivation. And if it involves the "touchy" area of what kind of food you're eating verses offending other people, just don't eat it. It's no big deal. It's just food!
1 Corinthians 11:19 - For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you.
The word must is the word necessary and the Greek word means binding. It must happen! The word heresy comes from the root word that means choice. That's what a heresy is. When I choose to believe that the bible is teaching something that's not in the bible, that's a heresy. I'm choosing to believe it.
Heresy is what divides one church from another church. We can go over the same scriptures, and one side says, "We believe that it says this," and another side will say, "Well, we believe it means this!" They go by what they believe rather than what the scripture says. The scriptures unite us.
It says for it is necessary for there to be heresies. Interesting that Paul didn't say, "There shouldn't be any heresies." No, there has to be heresies in the church. Why? So that they which are approved may be made manifest among you.
1 Corinthians 12:3 - Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.
The word accursed is the word ANATHEMA and it means to devote someone to the Lord for destruction. A sacrifice on the altar would be an ANATHEMA.
