he is NOT QUALIFIED TO COUNSEL others about marriage life!
If you ask me a million times i will continue to tell you what God's word says
The word of God didn't say such.
You dont have to be a world champion to train others to be world champions. Human sense dont make bible sense

Solomon is the one and only Bible writer FULLY QUALIFIED TO TEACH about the vanity of worldly riches {Ecclesiastes 5:10} do you know why our God arranged it that way?
Well it's because Solomon is the wealthiest servant of Jehovah who ever lived on this planet, even Jesus confirmed that! Matthew 6:29
So Solomon had all that money can buy yet he said "all is vanity" {Ecclesiastes 1:2} because he was rich.
All your illustrations are erroneous. Solomon your teacher ended up as apostate.

1 Kings 11:4
4 For it came to pass, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned away his heart after other gods: and his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God, as was the heart of David his father
.

In the same manner if Chris wants to counsel others about marriage he should have been successful in his own, charity they say begins at home! smiley

You said a man whose wife divorced him can not teach the word of God on marriage. Its like employing a driver who had had accident .

I said jesus never married means jesus never had driving license. Then jesus shouldn't teach on marriage neither Paul according to your illustration

But know today that Jesus and Paul chose to be eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven {Matthew 19:12} so they are both qualified to teach on marriage {Matthew 19:3-11 compare to {1Corinthians 7:1-7} but Chris got married and failed woefully to keep his marital vows, so he is not qualified to teach about marriage! undecided

Christianity Etc › Re: Have You Noticed That Church Rats Are Now More Robust Than House Rats? by petra1(m): 5:53am On Oct 11, 2021
Gee64:
I remember in times past when the church used to be a place where we learn to be humble, selfless and learn to disregard materialism and usery and opt to be charitable. .

There was this saying in times past that one could be as poor as a Church rat. But Church rats today are more robust than house rats because most Churches are now richer than Public Liability Companies.

Is this an indication that the Church has failed us?
High profile church dont have rats. if they do the rats would not be fat at all because foodstuff is not kept in the high profile church .so the rats in your house are the ones chopping well.

poverty is not a sign of Godliness. secondly. A Pastor who solves problems for people will always be rich. its the reward for his labour. Pastors are not lazy people. They are problem solvers.
i would probably would not have known the holy spirit is a person if i had not reqd GOOD MORNING HOLY SPIRIT by Benny Hinn. The book blessed everyone all around the world. why should the author not smile to the bank. its a win win situation.

Other ministers heal the sick. restored barren womb, Heal the mad child, studies and taught the word of God to grow christians to maturity. Every minister who does his work well get blessed

[size=12pt]So I always wonder why during deliverances, the same woman that falls on Monday, will fall on Tuesday and also fall on Wednesday. huh
I believe you are exaggerating and not really dealing with facts.

Firstly theres defference between deliverance and falling under the power.

When you say deliverance . it makes reference to someone opressed by the devil and he or she goes to be prayed for to be delivered of that evil spirit.

The power of God only repond to your desire. if you dont want to be free God cant force it on you. The camera man aim is his job to cover the event and protect his equipment. If thats his purpose why will God be forcing him . you could have said the camera man should close his eyes as well and lift his hands up. Gos respond to your faith and desire

Why is it that a huge percentage of the people that usually fall during deliverances are women?
Women are more emotional. And there are lots of evil spirits that work through emotion. malice, slander, Unforgivenes, depression, gossip, envy ,strife, self pity.

women exhibits these a lot and such thing attracts evil spirit.

Men also do have manifestations. but mostly female. secondly more women go to church

Thirdly more women seek solution. if a couple have issue with Childlessness mostly the woman that goes all out to prayer houses and come home with holy water for the husband to drink.

no read revelation well not Jerusalem rather Europe and it church because temple means church

2 Thessalonians 2:4 ►
He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God’s temple, proclaiming himself to be God.

New Living Translation
He will exalt himself and defy everything that people call god and every object of worship. He will even sit in the temple of God, claiming that he himself is God.
The whole thing about about the tribulatuon is a jewish affair. firstly the church would have been raptured to heaven at this time. The time of the Gentiles (church age) would have been over.

The Jews will embrace the antichrist as thier messiah. He will rebuilld the temple in Jerusalem and after 3 and half year. he will enter the temple claiming to be God. thats what Daniel call Abomination of desolution. At yjis point the eyws of the jews will open. They will realise that the jesus they killed was the true messiah. The jews will revolt against him . This will lead to the great persecution

I don't know but 3 pastors cannot lie to me
it could be true that a woman has the spirit of witchcraft. It could be possible that witchraft is tranfered to a child. But you need to know that theres a difference between having the spirit of withcraft and being a witch . just like theres a difference between prophesying and being a prophet. Some individuals could be initiated into withcraft. Others could have withcraft spirit.

The one who has withcraft Spirit is a host . This person is merely a victim. The spirit use her body as contact to cause evil and havoc in lives of people in that environment. The person may not even be aware . But some may be aware.

for example . A woman marries a Man He dies. She marries another. he dies . 3 husbands have died . You may not need a prophet to know theres a curse.

Some marries a man and he losses jobs business collapse.. Not once not twice.

A house girl comes in everyone start falling sick.

Such Person needs spiritual help

Maestro21:
People who do not have the spirit cannot understand the scriptures no matter how hard they try.

They will always study themselves into confusion as the exhibit you are replying has shown.

Anyone who can actually study will see, Moses sent Zipporah away before the exodus. The bible clearly shows she was sent back to her father's house. It is easy to infer that she did not want her children circumcised and Moses obliged her but God was unhappy with him, and wanted to kill him, so she hurriedly circumcised the child and let her anger known to Moses. He responded by sending her back home.

After the exodus and when Moses was now situated at the wilderness, her father re-unites her with her husband. The bible goes on to show us Moses' reverence for him by how he greeted the man and filled him in on all God had done for the Jews from Egypt to the wilderness. The reverence part was significant because it shows that Moses would have honoured the man's gesture to fix his marriage for him.

Bible students can clearly again see that it took at least a year from Egypt to the wilderness. So Moses spent what might be a year without that wife - Zipporah.

Now a critical thinker will ask himself a question, if Moses had married Zipporah years before the Jews got to the wilderness (he met her around age 40+ and left for Egypt age 80), why will Aaron and Miriam start challenging him about taking the same woman as wife - 40+ years later? It makes zero sense because it is not so.

Aaron and Miriam are challenging Moses in Numbers 12 because the law had been given at this time and Moses, by marrying again outside his tribe, had broken the law. That is why they challenged him. It was a recent event. Even Flavius Josephus the historian agrees with this.

To further buttress this point, you will have to be the greatest conspiratorial mind to draw a connection between the Midianites and the Cushites or Ethiopians. Zipporah was a Midianite and the new wife was an Ethiopian. This is more creditworthy as Numbers 12 does STRESS that the criticism against Moses was the nationality of his wife. If it was the same person, then her nationality should not have been emphasized but it was.
Thank you sir .This just summarizes the whole truth.

Honestly I like the spot I just put you in.
Can someone please educate this guy that once a marriage is dissolved, the man and woman are no longer husband and wife? grin
You can see how you’re fumbling here and there, talking offpoint.

Let me resound it well for you. Numbers 10:29 called Reuel/Jethro the father-in-law of Moses which means that Zipporah (his daughter) is still Moses’ wife long after the circumcision issue. That’s the conclusion of that matter.
.
Firstly im not in any Spot. Dont get petty on words. If the word divorce becomes an issue for you to embrace the bigger picture. let me compromise a little. lets use the prase. HE SENT HER PACKING.

That actually what the bible says. HE SENT HER AWAY! . Its common sense to know what thst means . the hebrew word their means divorce. i wasnt there to know they issue certificate. that will be petty and lame to hide under.
The truth is simple. MOSES SENT HIS WIFE AWAY . And he married another woman. period. If he accepts her back good for her.

many times when a woman is sent home. those who are mediating will still say "COME CARRY YOUR WIFE Back " or they say to a woman sent home "GO BACK TO YOUR HUSBAND"

The fact that they call them wife or husband didnt nulify the broken relationship. So dont get into semantics

Your claim was that Moses divorced Zipporah, meanwhile the same Exodus chapter 18 and verse 5, says that Jethro brought back Zipporah to him at the mountain, Moses even called her “his wife” not “ex wife” after they were temporarily separated(given that Zipporah did not accompany Moses to Egypt)
I believe I cleared you on that. The father inlaw mediated.

A man divorces the daughter of another man, and the next thing you see is that man inviting the former husband of his daughter to a feast. If they were divorced, would that have happened?
yes its possible. He was a man Moses respected. He was also a minister of God. A priest

Would he have been of assistance to Moses in judging cases in Israel?
!
Sure he was a more experienced minister and leader. moses was kije a son. I dont see any issue.

One more reason why your thought process is flawed is that Numbers 10:29 still refers to Reuel/Jethro as the father-in-law of Moses, long after that circumcision issue. So why is that the case if Moses had divorced Zipporah?
it doesnt matter. If you send your wife packing. She can still be called your wife. some wives comes back after reconcilluation some dont. Some wives have come back 6 times and sent back home to their fathers house 6 times .

I’m still waiting for you to quote 1Timothy 3:5 let us see how it fits into your theory that one who ministers before God shouldn’t be held to account for conduct in his personal life.
If you have something to say about the verse go ahead

The jerry-curled clown is just one those persons Jesus referred to as men who impose heavy loads on others but are not willing to apply such things to themselves. Matthew 23:2-4

Other translations put it this way.
“Miriam and Aaron began to talk against Moses because of his Cushite wife, for he had married a Cushite.”—New International Version
it doesn't matter the translation. Moses divorced the wife after she insulted him calling him bloodly husband.

Exo 4:25 — Exo 4:26
25 Then Zipporah took a sharp stone, and cut off the foreskin of her son, and cast it at his feet, and said, Surely a bloody husband art thou to me. 26 So he let him go: then she said, A bloody husband thou art, because of the circumcision.


The bible says Moses Sent her back or sent her away . some translations righty rendered it

Exodus 18:2 (BBE)
2 And Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, took Zipporah, Moses' wife, after he had sent her away,


You may kindly check it out in strongs Hebrew dictionary. it means Divorce

(Olive Tree Enhanced Strong's Dictionary)
h7964. שִׁלּוּחַ šillûaḥ; or שִׁלֻּחַ shilluach; from 7971; (only in plural) a dismissal, i.e. (of a wife)
divorce (especially the document); also (of a daughter)

So dilligent study on the passage shows He divorced her. Other books and manuscripts like the book of Jasher throws more light on his Divorce

You also said Zipporah left him after this incident, so why was she still being called Moses’ wife at Exodus 18:2?
The Father inlaw intervened and brought about reconciliation

While Moses was on his self-imposed exile, he married a woman(Zipporah) who was not even an Israelite to begin with(Exodus 2:21) so this is what suggests that it is the same woman mentioned at Numbers 12:1.
Definately not thesame woman. The Cushite Ethiopian woman is a new wife. why would Aaron complained of Moses Marrying a non Jew. He married Marian when there was no law. Nobody complained but he married the cushite against the law hence the complain. Ask yourself why would they complained of a Marian being a non jew many years after marriage and bearing children. it doesnt make sense. Its the new Gentile wife that was unconstitutional.
