41682 | Jesus closes the door? | Matt 18:17 | charis | 1101 | ||
Dear bjanko, And how did our Lord treat Gentiles and tax-gatherers? I well understand the need for church discipline. I also know that Jesus seemed to think that the sinners were capable of repentance. If I correctly understand your comments, Paul left a door open for reconciliation and repentance, but Jesus closed the door? I appreciate your comments. In Christ Jesus. | ||||||
41683 | Bible answer, please? | Bible general Archive 1 | charis | 1099 | ||
Dear bjanko, You think nothing of my thoughts? Fine. Tell me, could you be a little more Bible specific? You obviously have never been to a dinner where the host gave you so much food that you threw it all up on the table. (I am sorry, the analogy was perfect, but a little crude! ;-) Since you did not say your belief was based on religious edict from the church in Rome, I gather from your response that 1) you are male, and 2) your family is not yet complete, possibly not even started. (I apologize if my assumption is totally wrong) I agree wholeheartedly, children are a blessing from God. Mine are now teens, both a joy and a challenge. Both were born after my wife was healed from ovarian cancer. I understand blessing AND miracles. However, please give me some scriptures specific to the question before your zeal overcomes your common sense. I admire your desire to put your life in God's hands, having read all of your other comments and answers. I look forward to hearing more from you. In Christ Jesus. | ||||||
41684 | I agree with you 100 percent. But... | Hebrews | bjanko | 1098 | ||
I agree with you 100 percent. But how do you respond to the person who says, "Yes, no one can snatch them out of the Father's hand, but that doesn't mean they can't leave of their own freewill"? | ||||||
41685 | Who wrote the letter to the Hebrews? | Hebrews | stobor | 1094 | ||
Who wrote this letter? My old AV calls Hebrews "The Epistle of Paul to the Hebrews," but no one seems to ascribe it to Paul anymore. I have heard Barnabas suggested as the author, and seem to recall the argument was convincing (but I didn't take any notes). Is anyone aware of sound reasons to ascribe this letter to one particular author? |

41688 | Excommunication? | Matt 18:17 | charis | 1071 | ||
"And if he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church; and if he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax-gatherer." Matthew 18:17 "And if anyone does not obey our instruction in this letter, take special note of that man and do not associate with him, so that he may be put to shame." II Thessalonians 3:14 Does this mean to 'disfellowship' or 'excommunicate' a brother? As in cutting him off permanently from all communication and fellowship? |

41689 | Jewish Baptism in YHWH? | Col 3:17 | charis | 1069 | ||
Dear RCSCROLL, Jewish Baptism? I am aware of Israel being "baptized into Moses," and know about ritual cleansing for priests, Pharisees, and hand-washing by Jews, but all Jews required baptism in the name of YHWH? This is the first I have heard of this. Any references? I will look into this. Thanks for comments. By the way, please unlock CAPS, as it is hard to read in those narrow columns. In Jesus' name. | ||||||
41690 | Flood in the air? | Gen 1:1 | charis | 1068 | ||
8,854 meters of water (assuming Mt. Everest was covered by 6 meters), multiplied by the surface area of the globe, accounting for the fact that the area will increase the farther from the center of the globe (I forgot what you call that), then subtract the volume of all the land mass above sea level,including the volume of all living things on the surface, minus the volume of the people and animals that boarded the ark, minus the volume of the gopher wood and other materials of the ark, minus the draft volume of the ark. Did I forget anything? Could this volume of water 'recede' into the atmosphere? Have fun! Answer-(I think) It must have! In Jesus. | ||||||
41691 | why did God create the world | Gen 1:1 | wdc | 1061 | ||
Something I've been thinking about for a while. God is all knowing, and a loving, merciful God. So He knew all the suffering, pain, and evil that would happen in the world. Why then did He create it in the first place and put mankind on it. Why not just not create it, if He had not created it, we would have never none it, and look at all the suffering and evil that would have been avoided. Anyone have any thoughts? wdc | ||||||

41693 | blaspheming vs NT | Num 15:30 | getsmart | 1049 | ||
Can anyone compare or contrast the difference between this "blaspheming the LORD" and "blaspheming the Holy Spirit" as in Matt 12:31, Mark 3:29 and Luke 12:10? Especially as it relates to "eternal sin" (see NT refs). | ||||||
41694 | Arminian viewpoint? | Bible general Archive 1 | Joseph | 1044 | ||
Thank you for the Calvinist point of view which is not what I was seeking. Are there any Arminianists with light on this subject? | ||||||
41695 | Is any type of contraception allowed? | Bible general Archive 1 | JMR | 1043 | ||
What does the Bible say about contraception? Is it against using any type of contraception? Does the Bible allow us to use any method or methods of contraception? My personal beliefs on this is that we are not allowed to use any type of contraception. I think my beliefs are biblically based however. Am I wrong in thinking this way? Please give biblical references with your response. Thanks! :-) | ||||||
41696 | Eternal Security and 2 Peter 2:20 ??? | 2 Peter | jg8ball | 1041 | ||
Since you brought up the topic of Eternal Security, could you please interpret how 2 Peter 2:20 suggests Eternal Security? (2 Pet 2:20 If they have escaped the corruption of the world by knowing our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and are again entangled in it and overcome, they are worse off at the end than they were at the beginning.) To me, this is clearly saying that a believer can lose his salvation. Also, I can't speak for everyone, but everyone that I know that believes that it is possible to lose your salvation also believes FIRMLY that you are saved by faith alone and NOT by any works. I'm not sure where you got the idea that you cannot lose your salvation because you are saved by faith alone. Those are two completely different thoughts. Since the above verse says that a believer can fall away and since Jesus says that no one can steal your salvation away from you, then the only way that I can see of losing your salvation would be for a believer to (for some strange reason) renounce Jesus and turn back to the ways of the world. And since a believer can fall away then that kind of blows the election doctrine as you believe it. As far as the 250 times you quote that "elect" type words appear, Are you kidding? Did you actually look them up. (it's really easy to do using this site - try it) I personally think you just read a post from another user and took for granted that it must be gospel - probably the same way you came to believe in the Doctrine of Election. Of those 250 times, you will actually only find a few that can be used to support the doctrine (until you read it in context). As far as "Free Will" goes, this is a term used to describe all the examples throughout the bible just as Trinity is a word you won't find in the bible but is a word we use to describe the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit being separate and the same. Yes, God has his Elect. They are called believers and ANYONE and EVERYONE can become one if they choose to accept Christ. How about Romans 10:9-11? That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. As the Scripture says, "Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame." Please re-read that last sentence a few times. How can you honestly, (logically and spiritually) not believe that ANYONE and EVERYONE has been given the opportunity to be saved? |

41697 | Denying the Master | 2 Peter | stephanos | 1033 | ||
I have been studying the Biblical doctrine of election for approximately 5 - 6 years now. The main area of this doctrine that I'm trying to understand and interpret properly (because many have not) is the subject of eternal security. There are many verses that are used by many to support the belief of "conditional security." One that has intrigued me the most is 2 Peter 2:1- key words being "Master" and "bought." I have found that "Master" in Greek is "despotes" in this verse, as opposed to "kurios" - the two being quite different in meaning. But "bought" (agorazo) has me a little stumped. I am a strong advocate in the Biblical doctrine of eternal security. So I know that a verses like this require diligence in studying and proper hermeneutics. Can anyone give some feedback on this passage? [I am in no way an Arminian, neither do I consider myself a Calvinist. Notice how I termed it "Biblical doctrine of election." I have a few Calvinist friends and know of many others who tend to put more emphasis on John Calvin and his "tulip" than the pure Word.] |

41698 | Does Bible support capital punishment? | Bible general Archive 1 | JMR | 1029 | ||
Does the Bible support capital punishment? I am under the impression that it does, though I may be mistaken. I certainly support it. Am I wrong in supporting capital punishment? Please state biblical references with your answer. Thank you. | ||||||

OK I'm clueless. I am completely lost here. Does his looking imply homosexuality, or could it imply that Noah's son has a fascination with Noah's drunken and passed out state? | ||||||
