5901 | what is it to be an overcomer? | Revelation | DocTrinsograce | 210509 | ||
Dear Linda, The fact that you are convicted by sin is a significant evidence of your being born again! The unbeliever doesn't have that struggle, because they peacefully accommodate their sinful natures. As you persevere with this effort to grow in holiness (called progressive sanctification), God will ultimately satisfy your hunger for righteousness (Matthew 5:6). Focus on Christ Himself, not some self-centered (versus God-centered) idea like that which you've been taught. The more you know the holiness and righteousness of our Lord, the more you will be aware of your own failings. But God -- who started this transformation in you -- will also finish it (Hebrews 12:2). Our great hope is that we will be like Him (1 John 3:2). That purity is assured to us when we stand before Him. So be encouraged, young lady! In Him, Doc "I do not know of a single scripture -- and I speak advisedly -- which tells me to take my sin, the particular thing that gets me down, to God in prayer and ask Him to deliver me from it and then trust in faith that He will. Now that teaching is also often put like this: you must say to a man who is constantly defeated by a particular sin, 'I think your only hope is to take it to Christ and Christ will take it from you.' But what does Scripture say in Ephesians 4:28 to the man who finds himself constantly guilty of stealing, to a man who sees something he likes and takes it? What am I to tel such a man? Am I to say, 'Take that sin to Christ and ask Him to deliver you?' No, what the apostle Paul tells him is this: 'Let him that stole, steal no more.' Just that. Stop doing it. And if it is fornication or adultery or lustful thoughts, again: Stop doing it, says Paul. He does not say, 'Go and pray to Christ to deliver you.' No. You stop doing that, he says, as becomes children of God." --Martyn Lloyd-Jones |

5902 | Will the AntiChrist speek 666 languages | Revelation | DocTrinsograce | 220992 | ||
If that were true, "...it has to be some kind of actual mark..." then there would be nothing but universal agreement from Christian scholars over the last twenty centuries. Why do you say "Scary!!!" (sic) In whom do you trust to keep secure the disposition of your soul? Is our Lord not perfectly sovereign over nature, nations, history, and times? |

Hi, Awesome... Why would these be something other than what our Lord says "As for the mystery of the seven stars which you saw in My right hand, and the seven golden lampstands: the seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven churches." (Revelation 1:20 NASB) In Him, Doc |

5907 | Interpretative Schools? | Rev 1:1 | DocTrinsograce | 204547 | ||
Jesus answer to the disciples' question of Matthew 24:3 is inadequately answered by the preterist or the futurist. Often prophecy has a short term and long term interpretation -- Isaiah, prophesies, for example, from a short term, near term, and long term, sometimes interchangeably. The problem for the partial preterist is this: where in that passage does the short term prophecy end and where the does the long term prophecy begin. | ||||||

Ma'am, if I might point out, we are a Study Bible Forum. We quite honestly have very little interest in mystical experiences. Furthermore, it violates the terms of use of our gracious host, the Lockman Foundation. Those terms were the ones you agreed to when you joined the forum. Thank you for your cooperation. | ||||||
5910 | Prophecy's Purpose | Rev 1:2 | DocTrinsograce | 171129 | ||
"God gave the prophecies, not to gratify men's curiosity by enabling them to fore know things, but that after they were fulfilled they might be interpreted by the event, and His own providence, not the interpreters, be thereby manifested to the world." --Sir Isaac Newton (1642-1727) | ||||||

5912 | The 7 Churches of ASIA | Rev 1:4 | DocTrinsograce | 204840 | ||
Hi, footman... There may be some believers in these cities, but I don't think that the churches trace an unbroken lineage to the present day. I seem to recall that none of them survived. That's not surprising, since the church has been planted, vanished, and was replanted on at least five of the continents. In Him, Doc |

Dear Tamara, Over the years we notice that some forum participants prefer to use the words of others rather than invest the time, energy, and effort in composing their own. There's nothing inherently wrong with that. For example, bringing a particularly well written quote from someone with greater authority, ability, or knowledge than our own can often be an exercise of value to us all. Of course, when we fail to attribute to the rightful owner the words we use, it becomes a different matter entirely. It violates our respect for intellectual property. It violates the love and honor we have for other members of the body. It violates the character and command of our Lord. Nothing rooted in sin will bring benefit, either to ourselves or to those around us. Indeed, it can often detract from the truth we are attempting to teach. It brings doubt to our character, as well as the character of the organizations to which we belong. It demonstrates an allegiance to the spirit of the age, not the Holy Spirit. Furthermore, failure to properly annotate is an explicit violation of the agreement we have signed when we created our account on the forum. Furthermore, every time we post we click a button that says "I Agree." Our gracious host has specific legal requirements by which they can operate. The terms by which we quote are part and parcel of those requirements. Failure to comply with these terms threatens the future of the forum for us all. Please, in the future, employ the highest possible standards of intellectual honesty. Better not to post at all if it is done on any other basis. In Him, Doc |

Dear batzion, If you are going to post on multiple sites the same information, you might want to document the fact. The Terms of Use of our gracious host state that they exclusively own what is posted here. Consequently, placing the identical information at multiple locations might complicate the terms by which you joined the forum. Thank you for showing our host and the forum participants appropriate respect by following the Terms of Use. Every who posts deserves to be responded to as though you were addressing that poster individually. In Him, Doc |

5918 | John 10:10 Who is responsible for death? | Rev 1:18 | DocTrinsograce | 236816 | ||
Hi, B... We do not "just say that God is soverign" (sic) These truths are not platitudes. Our God has revealed Himself in Scripture (Hebrews 1:1-2). We do not spin our own interpretation into what He has said about Himself. Now it came about at midnight that the LORD struck all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sat on his throne to the firstborn of the captive who was in the dungeon, and all the firstborn of cattle. (Exodus 12:29 NASB) See now that I, I am He, And there is no god besides Me; It is I who put to death and give life. I have wounded and it is I who heal, And there is no one who can deliver from My hand. (Deuteronomy 32:39 NASB) For all the firstborn are Mine; on the day that I struck down all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, I sanctified to Myself all the firstborn in Israel, from man to beast. They shall be Mine; I am the LORD. (Numbers 3:13 NASB) The LORD kills and makes alive; He brings down to Sheol and raises up. (1 Samuel 2:6 NASB) He struck down some of the men of Beth-shemesh because they had looked into the ark of the LORD. He struck down of all the people, 50,070 men, and the people mourned because the LORD had struck the people with a great slaughter. (1 Samuel 6:19 NASB) When they came to the threshing floor of Chidon, Uzza put out his hand to hold the ark, because the oxen nearly upset it. (1 Chronicles 13:9 NASB) On this account the anger of the LORD has burned against His people, And He has stretched out His hand against them and struck them down. And the mountains quaked, and their corpses lay like refuse in the middle of the streets. For all this His anger is not spent, But His hand is still stretched out. (Isaiah 5:25 NASB) This is the plan devised against the whole earth; and this is the hand that is stretched out against all the nations. For the LORD of hosts has planned, and who can frustrate it? And as for His stretched-out hand, who can turn it back? (Isaiah 14:26-27 NASB) We can go on and on... Acts 5:1-10; 12:23; Revelation 20:8-9. Etc. ...and these are but a few. You wrote, "Instead we credit the works of Satan to God and do nothing." Perhaps you do, but isn't it more frightening to credit to God the works of Satan (Mark 3:29)? Isn't it more frightening to fail to submit to the Word of God? In Him, Doc |
