4702 | Why do people lose interest and leave? | Bible general Archive 1 | EdB | 21185 | ||
Sir Pent I have been involved in this forum from it’s beginning, having received an invitation from Lockman to become a contributor, I observed it for a few weeks and prayerfully inquired of God about any involvement. I was the first to point out a need for change and at that point suggested a moderator. Everyone accused me of censorship. I think the best solution to solving the forum’s problem is just as you stated to be PROACTIVE rather than REACTIVE. Being an early pioneer of this forum and I have seen many people come and go, many feel as if they were attacked rather than having a discussion. Many of us hide behind the façade of anonymity and say things to others we would never say face to face. That is a problem. Instead of being Christ-like we want to be the winner, to get the last word in, to have others view us as “experts”. For this forum to work we must all more interested in representing Christ than being the winner. Your idea of each of us taking a Bible Book is fine, however I wonder what that will solve? EdB |

4703 | explain Mark 15:34 | Mark | EdB | 21184 | ||
The connection with Romans 8:38-39 is love is what keeps the promise that God would never leave us of forsake us. How much more the love of the Father for the Son that was faithful and obedient. No, God would never leave nor forsake Jesus. Jesus' cry was two things first another confirmation of his humanity and two a conformation of His divinity even in agony of death He is still teaching His beloved children of His love. There is much teaching about God having to turn from sin where do we get this idea? God and Christ confronted sin head on. God in His love for us reaches out to us when we were deepest in sin. Many say sin separates us from God and that is spiritual death, and I agree but Christ couldn’t have experienced that or he would have been both physically and spiritually dead which means (and I too am not trying to start another discussion on the trinity) that since Jesus and God are one then God would have had to died spiritually also. No Way! |

Steve I'm confused if you believe Romans 8:38-39, as I do, how is you believe God would leave Jesus. Everyone says God had to turn from Jesus when He had all the sin of the world on Him, WHY? Satan stands before God and he is the epitome of sin. Also for God to turn Himself from Jesus means He turned Himself from Himself since They are One. Mark 15:34 shows Jesus’ concern for us and His willingness to die for us by reciting Psalm 22, which was a prophetic picture of what was taking place, in one more attempt to show the people their error. God never left Jesus for a moment and there isn’t anything in the bible to indicate God did. EdB |

Islam is a false religion which didn’t exist when the Bible was written. There have been many attempts to give some validation to Islam by attempting to make a connection to Ishmael. It is as meaningless as saying Mormons can trace their founders heritage back to Adam or Noah. No part of their religion has anything to do with the worship of the one True God, The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the God who sent His only begotten Son to provide the salvation of man. And no part of their false religion is in the Bible of that true God. EdB |

Casiv There is no need to defend yourself. I never called you a mystic and to the best of my knowledge I never said your way off base. I did say you talk as a mystic in mystical terms, and some of your explanations seem to dance around the subject instead of addressing them. Again you do not give me an answer. I want you to verbalize the meaning of the mark of the beast and explain what it means. Can you do that or not? You have said a lot of things but I need a clear and concise answer to have a complete understanding. EdB |

Mincc Okay let's get basics defined (something I think I should have done at the beginning). How exactly do you see God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit? Does each exist today? If you see the Three at the baptism of Jesus, and you see Them as the Godhead, what is your problem with the concept of the Trinity? EdB |

4712 | Who dose not belive in the TERM Trinity? | Bible general Archive 1 | EdB | 20789 | ||
Mincc Okay you got me Jesus never mentioned the Trinity. Therefore it proves it doesn't exist. However you will never read this since I'm doing it on a computer and Jesus never mentioned those either so it doesn't exist either. Mincc the argument that the trinity isn't mentioned in the Bible is not valid. If things are as you say explain to me who Jesus prayed to? By whose right hand is Jesus at the present time standing? Who did Jesus call out to from the cross? Who is the person that Jesus promised to send back to be our comforter. When Jesus was being baptized as he was standing in the water the Holy Spirit descended upon Him “like a dove” and a voice spoke from heaven “This is my Son”. Who were all these personalities if not the Trinity? As for Elijah if your speaking of the responder with that id he is one he is a voice crying out from the wilderness of confusion. EdB |

Schwartzkm Have you ever spent a day with your Pastor? Before you judge what he does or does not do I suggest you spend a day with him. Your right Eph 5 does not relieve a Pastor from doing evangelism. I think again the problem stems from perception rather than understanding. Body evangelism is to be done by people in relationship. In other words sharing your faith with people you know, work with, have for neighbors, friends, relatives, and such. The most effective evangelistic tool we have is living a Christ like life before the world. Pastors are people called to instruct and raise up men and women called to ministry, they are to instruct in Godly living, they are to exhort and encourage, they are to shepherd the flock. Most Pastors evangelize people normal church people would never have a chance to meet. However it is done under circumstances very different than Body evangelism. Body evangelism is usually initiated by a question or curiosity from a friend your in relationship with. Pastoral evangelism is usually initiated by strangers out of circumstance, crisis or tragedy. Evangelist are those that are called to share the word with the world in the market place. If you have an argument it is probably with men and women that call themselves evangelist but never preach a word outside the four walls of the church. As for scholarship, your right there are many opportunities for learning and again your right many fail to take advantage of those opportunities. However the church stands in crisis. Many of the seminaries are becoming so liberal, so intellectual that Christ is lost in the process. While many of the conservatives instead of seeking to correct the situation just avoid it. How many have heard the witty pastor “mistakenly” use the word cemetery instead of seminary and then with a sly smile correct himself much to the glee of the listeners? Without sound scholarship the church opens itself to every wind of doctrine that flies by. How do you think this whole mess with evangelism your talking about got started? Many Pastors instead of preaching the word decided to build churches, to build churches you have to have income to have income you have to have people, so they began to preach come and sit, pay your tithe, and we will all go to heaven. The church is to be a training center for people to go out of into the world. Starting other churches, touching other people, raising up others that will go out and do the same thing. EdB |

Schwartzkm Let me jump in here. Your last paragraph says a lot. It shows you misunderstand the purpose of the pastor. In Ephes. 4:11-12 And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, 12for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ. It is to equip people just like you to go out and do what you feel God has lead to do. I agree that too many sit around and talk about God while very few get out and do anything, however I think that pertains to the body rather than the pastor. Without scholarship we see a increased rise in junk being taught and believed. I think 90 percent of the junk in the church today came about by a lack of scholarship rather than by too much. Just my thoughts EdB |

I'm sorry! I assumed and we should never assume. Please forgive me. Your from the other side of the fence. That is an interesting scripture you used but who did Jesus pray to? If He was God who was he talking to at Lazarus’ tomb? Or who is Jesus standing at the right hand of now in Heaven? You needn’t respond to those questions since this topic has been discussed before, I just presented them for you consideration. Your right the definition of the trinity wasn’t developed until later in the church history but the belief in the trinity existed since the beginning of the church. It wasn’t until man tried to explain the trinity instead of accepting it by faith that the word trinity and the definition that followed was developed. However if we could question Paul before his death all indication from his writings was he held a belief similar to present day definitions of the Trinity. Again I’m sorry I made a rash assumption. And I pray the Holy Spirit will open your eyes. EdB |

Elijah We have danced down this road before. To not to believe in the Trinity is to believe outside the framework of authentic Christianity. Now you may claim to being a Christian but by preaching doctrine which conflicts with what Christ said and what authentic Christianity holds shows there is a major problem. You would be better represented by saying you practice and believe a non trinity religion (whatever that is). EdB |

4717 | General Admonition (dealing with Casiv) | 1 Cor 14:26 | EdB | 20489 | ||
Hank Let me quote you, "I nevertheless take the position that your criticism of some of the oldest, soundest and most dedicated and intelligent members of this forum is unfair, misguided, and not your business to take upon yourself to do." I think Sir Pent more than many of “oldest members” has showed leadership and a genuine concern about the forum. As far as “none of his business” . I think anyone that is a regular responder on this forum has a right to express his opinion and to be heard. Forgive me for saying this but I think Sir Pent’s heart was in the right place and I think you were a little harsh in your response. I mean no offense but I wanted to support Sir Pent EdB |

Sir Pent You find yourself in the position I usually take, defender of the underdog. I think one of the biggest problems on this forum is when confronted with something we don't agree with we fail to try to understand where the person is coming from. In Casiv's case I'm still not real sure since he refuses to address direct questions with direct answers. While I agree we should hold no tolerance for false doctrine and I believe we need to respond and set the record straight. I think we need to understand why the person is saying what their saying. Is the person expressing false or troubling doctrine because that is what they themselves have been deceived into believing or is it that they are being malicious and trying to deceive others. I’m talking about tolerance for the person not tolerance for false doctrine. By putting a person or his believes down without a full understanding of what is behind it, doesn’t solve the problem it usually aggravates it. Case in point with Casiv. This in no way was meant to be a rebuttal to any past, present, or future comments. It is merely my observation of the forum. It is also a show of support to Sir Pent for his effort to help someone that holds ideas that other forum members don’t agree with. I pray you will understand what I’m trying to say, if we do not show ourselves Christ like here then we confirm many things the world says about Christians. Again I say there should be NO tolerance for lousy theology/doctrine only tolerance for the person. EdB |

4720 | Genesis Creation, a practical example? | Bible general Archive 1 | EdB | 20098 | ||
Hank I think you are more or less saying what I used so many words to say. I think one of the biggest dangers we have in the church today is this overload of data and the constant search for the quick answer. I also believe the condition of our seminaries add to the problem. Most are bulwarks of liberal theology or held in such contempt as to be avoided therefore they do little to be the bastions of the truth they once were. Hence doctrinal purity in any form is slowly being tainted with a humanistic quick fix. thanks for you comments Brother! EdB |
