3401 | Are these the "willfully sinning" v26? | Heb 10:39 | Makarios | 155563 | ||
Greetings Mommapbs, Yes, my wife and I are doing very well! :-) I would agree with what DocTrinsograce has written earlier. I believe that the answer to your question lies in Matthew 25:32-46.. Those who KNEW Christ will be saved (34-40), while those who did not know Him will be condemned (41-45). So my answer would be an affirmative "Yes"; that unbelief, or apostasy, is what God finds so unforgivable: the beginning and end, the root of all sin. Blasphemy against God also stems from unbelief and rebellion. Blessings to you, Makarios |

Greetings Mommapbs, Romans 1:21 completes supports what I wrote to you about Matthew 25:32-46. Not every man has faith. Apostates and unbelievers do not have faith. I am a bit confused by your comments and not at all sure of where you are going with your thinking, or if it is based upon Scripture. Blessings to you, Makarios |

Greetings Mommapbs! I apologize that it has taken me so long to respond to your note. I would agree that there are those who know about God but don't really know Him as their personal Lord and Savior. The only advice that I can give you from personal experience is that persistence and persistence through prayer pays! I am not saying that we should witness to people every single time that we are with them if they refuse to believe. But we can go on being ourselves, our own light and witness to them, and to continue praying that the Lord will knock down the strongholds that they have built up around themselves to keep them away from believing. Many times, I see that the people that I witness to are watching me, to see if I walk the same thing that I talk to them about. Another thing to consider is that you have planted the seed! And another Christian will perhaps take your work further, hopefully resulting in the salvation of the soul. Blessings to you! Makarios |

3407 | God has promised rewards. | Heb 11:6 | Makarios | 46162 | ||
Greetings Vume, I certainly did not mean to be harsh or to bring rebuke to you, but I simply perceived an opportunity to answer your question based on what you initially gave in your post to start with. It is quite possible that we have misunderstood each other, and are (as you say) "minds apart." Even though the English language contains its own imperfections, I remain confident that it could still suffice in our communication, and clarity of both thought and purpose here is of the utmost importance, supported by chapter and verse whenever possible. It is telling that I was the only 'answeree' to your original question, of which possibly could be explained by the fact that others were also a little unconvinced in their own minds of what you were originally asking on behalf of the Forum. But your response has led me to say this, in response to your original question: Yes, we are rewarded! Scripture references that apply to rewards or losing one's reward include: Heb. 3:16-19; James 1:12; 2 John 8; Zech. 1:6; Isaiah 3:10-11; Matthew 25:34-46; Romans 2:7,10; 2 Tim. 2:11-13.. I hope that this helps you in your study! Makarios |

3408 | A "Better" Resurrection? | Heb 11:35 | Makarios | 68158 | ||
Greetings EdB, This is an interesting verse and I appreciate your response. You have pointed out that this is an "intraverse" comparison between two resurrections, and I agree that that is the best way to interpret this verse. Thank you for the clarification! :-) Blessings to you, Makarios |

Yes, that is what I have stated in the response to your question. | ||||||
3410 | Are Catholic members consider Christian? | Heb 12:23 | Makarios | 217229 | ||
Greetings Doc! Great post, brother! Here is some more good stuff: "PARAGRAPH 4. The authority of the Holy Scripture, for which it ought to be believed, and obeyed, dependeth not upon the testimony of any man, or Church; but wholly upon God (who is truth itself) the author thereof: and therefore it is to be received, because it is the Word of God.[a] a. 2 Pet. 1:19, 21; 2 Tim. 3:16; 1 John 5:9; 1 Thess. 2:13. PARAGRAPH 5. We may be moved and induced by the testimony of the Church to an high and reverend esteem of the Holy Scripture.[a] And the heavenliness of the matter, the efficacy of the doctrine, the majesty of the style, the consent of all the parts, the scope of the whole (which is, to give all glory to God), the full discovery it makes of the only way of man's salvation, the many other incomparable excellencies, and the entire perfection thereof, are arguments whereby it doth abundantly evidence itself to be the Word of God: yet notwithstanding, our full persuasion and assurance of the infallible truth and divine authority thereof, is from the inward work of the Holy Spirit bearing witness by and with the Word in our hearts.[b] a. 1 Tim. 3:15. b. 1 John 2:20, 27; John 16:13-14; 1 Cor. 2:10-12; Isa. 59:21. PARAGRAPH 6. The whole counsel of God concerning all things necessary for His own glory, man's salvation, faith and life, is either expressly set down in Scripture, or by good and necessary consequence may be deduced from Scripture: unto which nothing at any time is to be added, whether by new revelations of the Spirit, or traditions of men.[a] Nevertheless, we acknowledge the inward illumination of the Spirit of God to be necessary for the saving understanding of such things as are revealed in the Word:[b] and that there are some circumstances concerning the worship of God, and government of the Church, common to human actions and societies, which are to be ordered by the light of nature, and Christian prudence, according to the general rules of the Word, which are always to be observed.[c] a. 2 Tim. 3:15-17; Gal. 1:8-9; 2 Thess. 2:2. b. John 6:45; 1 Cor. 2:9-12. c. 1 Cor. 11:13-14; 14:26, 40. PARAGRAPH 7. All things in Scripture are not alike plain in themselves, nor alike clear unto all:[a] yet those things which are necessary to be known, believed, and observed for salvation, are so clearly propounded, and opened in some place of Scripture or other, that not only the learned, but the unlearned, in a due use of the ordinary means, may attain unto a sufficient understanding of them.[b] a. 2 Pet. 3:16. b. Ps. 119:105, 130." Citations of Chapter 1, Paragraphs 3-7 of the Westminster Confession of Faith, posted here with the help of Theophilos Software. Blessings to you, Makarios |

3411 | When did His voice shake the earth? | Heb 12:26 | Makarios | 11546 | ||
Certainly, and excellent observation, Steve! For when He cried "It is finished" (John 19:30, Matt. 27:50), the earth shook and the rocks were split (Matt. 27:51). Good catch! :) Nolan |

Elijah, this may have possibly been an "Angel" (Hebrews 13:2) but it assuredly was not an Angle. | ||||||
3413 | How do you remember your leaders? | Heb 13:7 | Makarios | 11953 | ||
Thank you, Steve! No, nothing happened between us that should not have happened, praise the Lord! I continually praise Him for watching over me! Only by His providence has He kept me chaste in the area of sexual temptation. He has also kept me from ever smoking a cigarette and protected me from abusing the drinking of alcoholic beverages! To this day, I can honestly say that I have no idea what a "hangover" is.. Praise the Lord! Blessings! Nolan |

3414 | jesus born prior to earth? | Heb 13:8 | Makarios | 35464 | ||
Dear Praisemaster, You said, "The terminology of the question I think you may have overlooked or I did bring it across very well..." So does this mean that you (praisemaster) and "mrchadly" are one and the same person? * If so, then my response is: I could care less about the terminology. Jesus Christ was never 'created', and He has always been God. Any view that says that Jesus Christ was ever "created" is heresy. * However, if you (praisemaster) and "mrchadly" are NOT the same person, then my response is: Let 'mrchadly' himself tell us if he was looking for a different answer, or looking for something different, since it was his question (and his thread) in the first place. Blessings to you, Makarios |

3417 | jesus born prior to earth? | Heb 13:8 | Makarios | 35784 | ||
The Son has the 'rights' of what a 'firstborn' Son would have: He has the rights of a firstborn. However, He Himself was NEVER created. Colossians 1:15-18 does NOT say that Jesus Christ was created. It says that THROUGH Jesus, all things were created! That doesn't mean that Jesus was created. That means that Jesus had a part in the creation of all things! ANY view that states that Jesus Christ was a created being is preaching a 'different gospel' and therefore heretical. The whole basis of the Christian faith is built upon the fact that Jesus Christ was God Himself! Perhaps everyone should go back and read John 1:1-3, John 1:14-18, John 20:28, Phil. 2:5-8, Hebrews 1:8-9, 13:8, Revelation 1:17-18. And I have many sources to back me up, not to mention the Bible itself. - Makarios |

Thank you Hank! I am both concerned and discouraged that we continually find ourselves having to defend Christ's Deity on a so-called "BIBLE" Forum.. Thank you for your support, my friend! - Makarios |
