Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...  (Doctrines of Christ: 1 Cor. 6) I Corinthians 6:13-18   13 ... Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body. 14 And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by HIS own power. 15 Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an har...

Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate (homosexuals), nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. 11  And such were some of...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...  I Corinthians 6:1-8   1 Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints? 2 Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters? 3 Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life? 4...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...  I Corinthians 3  (Paul says)   1 And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ. 2 I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able. 3 For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...  I Corinthians 3   18 Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise. 19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, HE taketh the wise in their own craftiness. 20 And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain. 21 Therefore let no...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...  I Corinthians 5   1 It is reported commonly that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles, that one should have his father's wife. 2 And ye are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he that hath done this deed might be taken away from among you.

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...  Recently, the thought came to my mind, "Is there any place in the Bible where we are told there will be a rise in homosexual/lesbians in the last days?"   Immediately I was reminded of this scripture:   2 Timothy 3   1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphe...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...  I Corinthians 2   9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love HIM. 10 But God hath revealed them unto us by HIS Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. 11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...  I Corinthians 3:11  For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.  (The Word of God)   14 If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. 15 If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.   💥💥💥   "Did God tell me to do this work or to s...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...  Our examples:   Jesus said:   John 5:30  I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.   As HE heard from God, Jesus spoke.   💥💥💥   As the apostle Paul heard from God, he spoke.   I Corinthians 2:1-7   1 And I, brethren, when I came to you, came n...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...  I Corinthians 1:26-29   26 For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: 27 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; 28 And base things of the world, and things whi...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...  I Corinthians 1:17-18  For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.  For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.   💥💥💥   John 1   1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God,...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...  I Corinthians 2  (Paul says:)   1 And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God. 2 For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and HIM crucified. 3 And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling. 4 And my speech and my preaching was not wit...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...  If God does the work in us, we glory in God.   If we try to do the work according to our own ideas, we glory in ourselves.   God's way is perfect.  So we are perfected in God when God does the work in us.   💥💥💥   So we pray:   Psalm 51:10  Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.   💥💥💥💥💥   * For writings on additional subject...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...  The spirit of God leads us through dreams, visions, words, the Holy Spirit.   Sometimes, as HE wills, HE also sends an angel to deliver a message to us in the New Testament Church.   God sent the apostle Paul the following message by an angel.  There was danger Paul and the men aboard a ship might perish in a storm.    Paul said to them:   Acts 27   And now I exh...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...  The teacher sets up the Bible class for the purpose of edification, exhortation, comfort.   It is also very important to make provision for the Holy Spirit to come forth by saying such as, "Does anyone have a word from the Lord?"   This frees the gifts of the Holy Spirit to come forth in the session.   💥💥💥   We know the apostle Paul identified himself as a "pr...
