If you don't like clicking links use the below url. NOTE: This is not the Hebrew ELS Bible Code. This is the newly found English Bible Codes... (This is just one of many such E mails that we get. It has more, but you get the idea.) B'Ann wrote: I am amazed--I am constantly amazed at all the new revelations and all the "words of prophecy and discernment" that come forth from the religious front today. Many, today, scarcely have time to share John 3:16 with the world. Most haphazardly do the Great Commission--if they do it at all; and yet the world is to believe that they are so loved, so adored, so trusted by God, Himself, that He can't wait to give the world a new and better word through their wonderfulness. NOT! We need to get back to this basis command:
If we would diligently study the Scriptures already given and stop adding to them, we could stop much of the diversity that is tearing the Body of Christ to pieces. Perhaps that greatest miracle Christ could perform today would be to take the scattered tatters of His Body and bind it back together into some semblance of a unit. What a "stench" all these little, ripped apart pieces must make to the world. Life is in the blood and there can be no sustenance flowing through a dismembered body—much less one in bits and pieces. We meet each other and ask what denomination/part/section of the church do you attend? Denominations mean divisions. If by some miracle the Body of Christ is still interconnected, with all the differing factions, the body must surely look like a completely uncoordinated, writhing mass. Can we conclude that Christ is forced to be the head of such a manmade curiosity? (Perhaps He has a healthy body that we cannot even see.) If the world's only hope is in the visible church, death has to prevail. I am reminded in the Scriptures where a bride was hacked into twelve pieces and sent to the tribes of Israel. (See Judges 20.) Horrible to contemplate, for sure, but at least it was cut into only twelve parts. Today, we are scattered into so many fragmented beliefs and "fight" issues, it is a wonder that any person can be born again into the kingdom. Today's church has to be one of the greatest tests that God's Grace has ever known. That Christ can bring salvation to mankind in spite of this terrible disunity proves that He is a miracle working God. SELAH! By such comments, am I advocating a one-world church. No! I am advocating one church for the world. I am suggesting that we go "back to the basics," remove much of the stuff that man has added, and make the plan of salvation as simple as John 3:16. Everyone has to come to the Father through the same door.
Tainting the seed (the Word) that brings forth eternal life is only half the problem with today's church. When we do get John 3:16 to someone and they are converted, then the leaders of the fragments of the body tell them they have to wear certain types of clothing, eat certain types of food, talk a certain way, cut their hair, don't cut their hair, wear cosmetics, don't wear cosmetics, wear a badge, carry a banner, sing traditional songs, sing contemporary song, remain completely silent, jump, scream, roll, lay on hands, speak in tongues, don't speak in tongues, do communion for salvation, only do communion in remembrance of him, use wine in the communion, absolutely don't use wine in the communion, have padded pews, sit on wooden benches, sprinkle, immerse, infant baptism, professing baptism, baptism by Holy Spirit, Holy Spirit baptism doesn't exist anymore, church on Sunday, church on Saturday--well, you get the picture. Isn't it time for us to go back to the simplicity of letting the Holy Spirit guide each person in their individual walk. We are not a bunch of club "groupies." Under the Grace Age, each of us is to have an individual walk with Jesus, our Brother and our Savior.
All of this was written down in the Bible. If everyone would fall on their face and say, "Lord, teach me the Holy Scriptures because I am very limited in knowledge," then, things would take a new turn. First, the relationship would become personal, not one of showmanship before the world. As the "sincere milk of the word" would work upon the hearts of each "babe" in Christ, then the manifestation of love would come forth. After a person has "fed" upon the "milk of the word," then, the time would come for them to feed on the "meat." Are we choking the "babes in the Church on "our meat?" (our great knowledge) when they should be fed the "sincere milk of the Word," beginning with John 3:16. In this time of instant foods, instant entertainment, fast foods, etc., we don't want to take the time to get to "know" Jesus. Yes, the "born again" experience is instant. But after this we must do as the Scriptures say:
One of the reasons we created DOWEKNOW is to ask, simply, "Do we know what we think we know?" We hoped our site would stop the great, swelling words of supposed knowledge that has swept across the church world, and make people look at what we really know—and what we can know. We also hope to remove the yoke that is being put upon the believer by getting each believer to the Word and to the Holy Spirit for themselves—eliminating the "middle man" with his hidden/personal agendas. Repeatedly, we have stressed that if there is a collective "yoke" for the Body of Christ/Church. It is simply the Great Commission.
Yes, I am amazed--amazed and astonished that in just a few generations, we have left the Word of God and its precepts. And I am persuaded that this is not just a problem with America, but the whole world. If there was ever a time for the call to repentance and revival to come forth, it is now and it is for this generation. Let me leave you with these words from the Apostle Paul.

WROTE: where did the rapture word really come from. does don really know! don't tell me Mat:24:36. Respond please. DON WROTE: OK. So, I admit that I don't really don't know who coined the word "rapture" to represent our Lord's return to take the Church up out of the world. The term has been in the church ever since I have, and I see no problem with its use. I know some say that its meaning is inherent in the Greek word parousiva used by Paul when he wrote about our Lord's Second Coming. I don't know about that, for I'm not a student of the Greek. However, when our Lord "whishes" the Church up out of the world in that "twinkling of an eye," I expect that we will be filled with the ecstasy of the moment, and that the Church will truly be "raptured." If you think that you know something that we don't know, share it with us and if it rings true, we will share it with the world. Yours in Christ, Don Love |

(TO OUR
CYBERNAUT VISITORS: Don Wrote: This is my response to the third in a series of WRAPs with Warren. For the other two WRAPs, go to our November-1990 and December 2-1999 where B'Ann responded to this WRAP.)
I enjoy your going out of the way to give the Mother of GOD a little bit of credit but
that just does not cut it. Think about looking at Her the very same way that the Holy
Trinity looks upon Her. The Commandments are not written in our hearts but rather
the natural law is what is written in our hearts. The Commandments or the revealed law you
must obey if you truly love Our Lord. Warren, you wrote: "I enjoy your going out of the way to give the Mother of GOD a little bit of credit but that just does not cut it." I understand that this is one of the fighting points for the Catholics, but in all truth, I find no authority for such a statement or stance. If you've read much of what B'Ann and I have to say, you know that we do not present ourselves as an authority on the things of God. To us, the Bible is the only authority that Christ left for His Church, and the understanding of the Bible is a gift of God imparted by the Holy Spirit. We feel that this understanding is not reserved for the intellectual, but the sincere, obedient child of God that studies to show himself approve to his heavenly Father--not to his church leaders. We have not been to the "third heaven" for a personal meeting with the One Who is building His Church. Only Paul received that honor and responsibility (II Corinthians 12:2). We didn't get to walk with Christ for several years as did the Disciples, nor did we get to stand on the mount with James, Peter, and John when our Lord was transfigured before their eyes. Yet, we have received a call/commission from Christ. And in preparation for that call, we have studied the Bible conscientiously—I guess what I'm trying to say is, it's not what I say, nor what some pastor or priests says, it's not what the Pope or the president of some denominations says, but it's what the Bible says that makes the difference. Having said that, let me say that I can never call the Virgin Mary the mother of God, because I've read the words of Jesus in Luke 8:19-21: "Then came to him his mother and his brethren, and could not come at him for the press. And it was told him by certain which said, Thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to see thee. And he answered and said unto them, My mother and my brethren are these which hear the word of God, and do it." And I can never pray to her for I find nowhere in the Scriptures where she is ascribed divinity. To the contrary, the Bible numbers her with those in the upper room who had to be filled with the Holy Ghost on the day of Pentecost so that they could be born again into the kingdom of God like any other of Adam's seed.
In addition, as far as we know, she is now in the "waiting room" with all the other saints (believers) since the Church's inception who have died and gone to be with the Lord. And while I'm on a roll, there are some other things about the Catholic church that I cannot embrace. I can never kiss the pope's ring nor call him (or a priest) father because Jesus said:
Nor can I accept the celibate papacy to be ordained of God with Peter being the first pope, because the Apostle Paul wrote: "Have we not power to lead about a sister, a wife, as well as other apostles, and as the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas [Peter]?" (1 Corinthians 9:5). And in Matthew we are told: "And when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother laid, and sick of a fever. And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose, and ministered unto them" (Matthew 8:14-15). So, personally, I can never pray to the Virgin Mary or kiss the pope's ring because of the Scripture I've just quoted to you. But it is not like I am singling out the Catholic Church for neither can I accept the Mormon's book of Moroni because of Revelation 22:18-19.
(I find the Mormon church to be very interesting, for their understanding of their understanding is not very clear even to themselves. In fact, it seems that today's leaders are trying to distance themselves from many of the teachings of their leader and founder Joseph Smith. The confusion in their doctrine is understandable and even predictable, for their founders taught that the Bible is to be read in the light of the book of Moroni. To further add to their confused beliefs, there was an influx of disenchanted Baptist church members to enter their ranks in the 60's and 70's, bringing with them their "talk" which is more Bible than it is Moroni.) Also, I put little confidence in the Pentecostals who go through all manner of gyrations and soulical exercises in church in the name of the Holy Spirit—apparently thinking that by acting foolishly, they bring God glory—but showing little of the fruit of the Spirit on the week days, or doing little during the week days that would show they have been touched by the Lord. I have nothing against speaking in tongues for it is a precious gift and has its place and purpose; and from experience, I know that sometimes the joy of the Lord cannot be contained. But these things are spontaneous and should not be imitated or "practiced." I find it sad that the very passage of Scripture they quote to justify their dubious behavior (I Cor. chapter 14) ends with, "Let all things be done decently and in order" (I Cor. 14:40). I could go on and on with the traditions and teachings in the various churches that have been instituted by man, but are not substantiated by the Bible. But that is not really necessary for even the onlookers in the world can recognize the hand of man in the business of God. However, just because I cannot accept the man-made precepts and guidelines that permeate most of today's religious organizations, this doesn't mean that I do not accept the profession of faith in Christ of a Catholic, a Mormon, Pentecostal, Baptist, etc., and treat them as brothers. (Only God knows if they have truly received His Son as their Lord and Savior.) Again, I go to the Bible as my authority.
Now, someone might say, "If all of these organizations have "born-again believers" in them, why all the hullabaloo? Why spend all the time and money putting up your web site? My answer is three-fold.
So, Warren, my counsel to you, to anyone reading this WRAP, and to myself is to examine ourselves to "see if we be in the faith." Part of this examination is asking ourselves how often do we read the Bible? And more importantly, when we read the Bible do we do so with the attitude of, "Lord, help me to see Truth and to understand your Word. Help me to see if there are any problems in my understanding and in the way I try to serve you. If there are, please show me, and guide me aright." If we thus pray, we can know that God will hear and answer for He has promised in His Bible that, "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. A double minded man is unstable in all his ways" (James 1:5-8). A beautiful promise of God Who cannot lie; however, we must note the condition, …But let him ask in faith… The object of this faith is the key. If it is a church, or a dogma or doctrine, or a man because of his position, or any thing other than the person of Christ, then God will not honor such faith and such faith will not sustain us when we are hit by the storms of life. Love, |
Rev. Warren Wrote (for the fourth time): Question-Comment: You continue to act like that which you eat for you eat nothing. Do you eat that which is Truth? You are what you eat!!! Now if I call upon the Holy Spirit I should receive that which Our Lord promised us and if in doing so I do not walk in the same light that you claim to walk in how can this be so? Does the Holy Spirit contradict Himself? Does He tell you one Truth and me another? How can this be so if there is only one Holy Spirit? Is their more than one Holy Spirit? You know nothing about the Truth yet you claim that you poses the Truth. How can you poses the Turth when you have no life within you? Do you receive the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinty of Jesus Christ? I doubt it!!! Unless you go to a Priest who has been given the power to offer up a Holy Sacrifice. Read Saint John chapter 6 and than 1 Corinthians chapter 11: 23-31. Are you saying you can sin against a symbol? How can this be true? You may claim that chapter 6 has only a symbolic meaning but than you would be a liar. Do you call Saint Paul a liar? Do you call Saint John a liar? Do you call Jesus the Christ a liar? If you lie you steal from the Truth. You break the Commandments of GOD. Prove to me that their is no such thing as the Real Presence. I want Real Physical proof. I can back up what I say Biblically and Scientifically. Can you? Remember Physical proof not just talk, for talk is cheap. I wait for your reply.--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Don Wrote again: The bottom line for being a Christian is the "born again" experience. Christ died on the cross to freely give salvation, to all that believe on the only Begotten Son of God. You ask, "Does the Holy Spirit contradict Himself?" I, too, have asked this question, as has every thoughtful person who has come to Christ. Like all believers, I came to Christ out of a world hardened by sin, but unlike many, I had no religious preference and no frame of reference as to which is the "better church" of the many. So, I prayed; I studied the Bible; and I observed. "The Bible says…" thumped Brother Joe. "Thus sayeth the Lord…" insists Brother Ralph. "The Spirit says…" chimes in Sister Sue. Yet Joe, Ralph, and Sue disagree vehemently and accused one another of being "in the devil." Even as a babe-in-Christ, I realized that the fighting among denominations was not right; and I Thank God that Christ pulled me aside and put me into personal Bible study before I was assaulted by this deluge of contractions. (As a youngster, our son, Jon, had a saying, "Even if one of you is right and the other is wrong, you are both wrong because you are fighting!") I'm still learning, and DOWEKNOW is more than a name for our web site, it is a heartfelt question. However, I am confident that I have the Lord, and I feel that I have some understanding—although time and experience has taught me that my understanding is not complete. For what it is worth, I feel that much of the confusion over spiritual things comes about because man is a weak link in the chain of understanding; yet we must never forget that man is the reason that such a chain exists. Hopefully, we all know enough Bible that we can agree that God, the Source of understanding, is perfect, and in Him is no shadow of turning. However, about the next link in our understanding, there is little agreement at all, except the agreement to disagree—and this link is the church (i.e., the churches). Because the True Church (not the organizations but the living Body of born-again believers) is called of God to help Him in the building and maintaining of His Church (i.e., to help Him by becoming fishers-of-men and /or to feed His sheep—a privilege and responsibility that even the angels do not have), then the Church actually serves as a conduit for the Holy Spirit. The analogy has been used of God being the water tower, the Holy Spirit the water, and faith in the Jesus the faucet handle. In this analogy, the Church (not the organization, but the Body of individual believers that make up the true Church) is supposed to be the pipe that carries the water. In the natural, we understand that impurities must be kept out of the pipe or the water will make us sick. However, in the natural, we have learned of late that although our ancestors thought they were doing well, they were unintentionally poisoning themselves and their posterity with lead, a ingredient in their pipes that can be lethal to mankind. I contend that the same has and is still happening in the spiritual realm. Men and women in leadership positions in the denominations/churches are attempting to deliver to the believers the Words of Life through the conduit of their churches. When He can, the Holy Spirit honors those parts of their teachings that bring Christ glory and saves a soul or lifts a burden. As to the teachings that don't honor Christ and give Him preeminence over all, well, we each have to figure that out for ourselves. So, to answer your question, "Does He tell you one Truth and me another?" The answer is obviously, "No!" Your spirit tells you one thing, and mine tells me another—hence the confusion. However, ever so often, the Holy Spirit does get a word in—then we agree. Otherwise, the best that we can do is agree to disagree. Unfortunately, in the meantime, the lost in the world and trusting sheep in the churches are dying of spiritual thirst, or worse. As to your wanting proof, I have none. I know of no one who does. In fact, the Bible states:
I find nowhere in the Scriptures where the believer is called to "prove" anything. However, he/she is called to show the world the love of God which is shed abroad by the Holy Ghost Who resides in the believers. It comes to me, Warren, that our WRAP AROUNDs will prove to be nothing but an exercise in futility unless we are both willing to surrender our understanding of the things that belong to Christ, to Him for reproof and correction. This applies also to all our fellow cybernauts reading these WRAPs. If we are not open to the Holy Spirit to teach us and to correct our understanding when need be, we will only continue to harden our stance and "truth" for each of us will continue to be those things that we have chosen to embraced—for whatever reason. Love, Don B'Ann Wrote again: This is good! This is really good! As I read the scriptures, I find that the way of salvation presented by Christ, when He died on the cross, was by faith. Up until Christ died on the cross, man was able to do it differently under the Old Testament Law. The law had become an instrument for keeping people "out of the Kingdom of God" because the priest would say that because they did not do "this or that" in a certain manner, they could never enter into God's Grace. As a child, if you were told repeatedly that you could not have something, then futility would set in and you would no longer strive to attain it. It is the same with people and the same with nations. When the "Christian organizations" under the law began to claim "divine right" to God, and called people round about "heathens", then those they considered "heathen" did not even try to attain a walk with God. (God called them "heathen" but only to remind the Priests that they needed the way of God offer to them.) The Old Testament Church became exclusionary. Christ came to make this matter of entering into God's Kingdom no longer a matter of the law, but of "being born again." He simple declared that He was the Son of God and any that wanted to come to Him, by faith, could come freely. This became a personal choice for "whosoever will" as Christ said in this Scripture:
As to demanding a real presence before one can believe, the following Scriptures bring hope.
Ah! Such precious, precious words! Just because I may not have seen a physical manifestation or experienced some great earth shaking revelation does not mean I cannot exercise faith. Are we all on the same level of faith and zeal? I should not have to tell you this. No, a "babe" in Christ is not expected to carry the same load as a mature Christian. We find that as we mature as Christians, our hope and desire should be that all men everywhere would be saved. Never should one advocate an exclusionary type Christianity.
What is this charity? The Scriptures talk about a "perishing." They speak of a separation from God for an eternity. This charity simply means that we should have such compassion in our hearts that we would not want anyone to spend eternity apart from God. As we become mature Christians, we are further admonished as to our responsibility. Does your heart break for people that might have an eternal separation from love? Or do you just have an irritation that all people do not have the "way" that you have, that all people have not attained the "position" that you have in the Lord. Now, my question to you is, "Who would you allow to enter the Kingdom of God and what criteria do you advocate as being the way to being born again into that Kingdom?"
I could not be sure how often I had to partake of the Lord's Supper to remain in Christ because the scriptures say "as oft." Is one time enough or do we have to do this a certain number of times on certain days?
I would have to lean heavily upon the following Scriptures to remain in Christ Jesus.
SALVATION COMES THROUGH ACCEPTANCE OF GOD'S GIFT ON THE CROSS. IF THAT IS YOUR STARTING POINT, THEN ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURES, YOU ARE BORN AGAIN INTO THE KINGDOM OF GOD. Do not the Scriptures tell us again and again that God is no respecter of persons? THE FIGHTING/DIVISIONS AMONG THE DENOMINATIONS OCCUR WHEN THEY MAKE DIFFERENT RULES AND ORDINANCES FOR BECOMING A CHRISTIAN AS WELL AS FOR REMAINING A CHRISTIAN AFTER THEY ARE BORN AGAIN. New Christians are taught to eat meat, don't eat meat, wear long sleeves, don't wear long sleeves, smoke, don't smoke, drink alcohol, don't ever drink, communion every Sunday for salvation, communion as a solemn remembrance, Christmas, no Christmas, white religious robes, dark religious robes, celibacy, marriage, …The list is too numerous to write. IF SOMEONE WANTS TO TAKE THEIR CHANCES WITH THEIR ETERNAL SOUL ON THE TEACHINGS DERIVED BY MEN LIKE THEMSELVES--OR IF THEY WANT TO TAKE ON THE HEAVY BURDEN OF KEEPING THEMSELVES SAVED, AFTER BEING "BORN AGAIN," THEN THEY CAN TRY TO CARRY THAT BURDEN! BUT IT WILL JUST MAKE THEM MISERABLE, EXCLUSIONARY AND JUDGMENTAL TO A WORLD THAT NEEDS COMPASSION. If another person does not keep their list of things for continued salvation, then they will have to condemn such a person. Personally, I have complete faith that after someone is truly born into the Kingdom of God, that the trinity has such compassion and power that the following will occur:
Let us do a supposition that you have been given a greater measure of faith than I . This puts even a greater responsibility upon you. Not to "put down" the simplicity of my faith, but to always encourage me in further growth. I still maintain the Blood of Christ was spilled freely upon the earth to offer salvation to all who come to the foot of the cross.
It is all as simple as John 3: 16. It is all as simple as being born in a stable. It is all as simple as a grain of mustard seed. SELAH! |

PW
WROTE: I'm in a non "clapping and dancing" church and would like to know how sure you are about this rapture thesis. Our church is very conservative and believe there'll be only a single returning on judgement day. Help please, I'm confused PW from South Africa --------------------------------------------------------------------------- B'ANN WROTE: Hello PW, By the way, I'm not against clapping and dancing…Sometimes the joy of the Lord demands an outlet. However, clapping and dancing that becomes just a part of a service can lead to soul power that leaves no room for Christ or His Spirit. Paul wrote to the Thessalonians: "And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ" (1 Thes. 5:23). It is important that we understand that we are a triune being with a body, a soul, and a spirit. If you'll study out the three parts of our make up, you'll find that our body (the grand tool that it is) is for world consciousness, our soul (containing our intellect, our will, our emotions, etc.) is for self-consciousness, and our spirit was made for God consciousness. (Since the spirit of man died in the Garden of Eden due to Adam's disobedience, this explains why Jesus said it must be born again--See John 3.) This being the case, we must get past the esthetics of worship (that which is done in the body and the soul) and get into the spiritual realm if we are to touch God and worship Him in spirit and in truth. "But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him" (John 4:23). As to your wanting to know how sure we are about this rapture thesis, once again, let me point out that we named our web site "doweknow" because we have learned to keep all options open when it comes to understanding things of the Lord—and this is especially true of prophecy. As I have studied the Bible throughout the years, I have learned that an adamant stance on things of a doctrinal nature can close a door to understanding and to growing in the Lord. Most of us, if we'll just think about it, have changed the way we believe as we've grown in the Lord. I Thank God that through trial and error, the way I thought of Him as a babe-in-Christ has been replaced by a more mature understanding. Hopefully, none of us remain at the baby's level of faith, but through Bible study and much prayer, have grown in grace, faith, and love—discarding those things in our spiritual make-up that God cannot honor, and adding the things He can. ALTHOUGH THE KEY TO THIS GROWTH IS BIBLE STUDY AND PRAYER, THERE IS ANOTHER ESSENTIAL ELEMENT THAT CANNOT BE LEFT OUT.
In other words, when we read the Bible, we are to do so by faith, trusting the Holy Spirit to give us understanding. This eliminates the pride that would come if we were dependent upon our intellect. It also closes the door to the bondage that often comes when we leave our understanding to another human. However, when we study prophecy, because of its nature, reliance upon the Holy Spirit is even more needful. This is because of the way that prophecy is coded and the way it is often weaved in and out of messages delivered by the prophets to the people concerning the events of their day. It is as Peter wrote.
In other words, the prophets were so in the Spirit that they were able to record exactly what the Spirit gave them—sometimes having no clue as to what they were really writing about. Likewise, those who study their words, must do so "in the Spirit" if they are to gain understanding. The kicker is, when you set under the prophetic teaching of another, the responsibility for being in tune with the Spirit is yours, not theirs.
To me, "the spirit bearing witness" and the "gift of discernment" are very similar. Some have this gift of the Spirit, but don't know it because they have never exercised it—yet, unknowingly, they are very intuitive when it comes to Spiritual things. (Note that, like all the gifts, there is a proper way to use this gift. Also, as with all other gifts, the devil would like nothing better than to break in and cause us to misuse this gift.) If you feel that you do not have the gift of discernment; then ask God, for He says that He will keep no good thing from those who ask Him. Anyhow, the bottom line to your query as to how sure am I about "my understanding" is not the question. The bottom line would seem to be faith and obedience—or should I say obedience and faith, for faith comes when we in obedience study the Word of God. By His Word, God washes His Church and by His Word He gives it the faith to reach out and receive from Him the good things that we need. If we walk thus in the Lord, there will come a day when we will know "who is who" and "what is what" in the Lord. Until that day, we can trust His grace to keep us as we grow in the Lord.Love, Don |
