641 | Why do i need to love god? | John 3:16 | azurelaw | 223439 | ||
Dear Shannon, Do you go to church? Do you attend Sunday school? I would suggest you talk to your Sunday school teacher or pastor or even your parents concerning your question. It is not because we cannot answer your question, but at your age, a face to face interaction would be better. When you register, did you read the Terms of Use? I am afraid you are not upto the age requirement (i.e. 18) of the forum. May you keep on knowing God, my dear. May the Holy Spirit bless you and give you wisdom to understand our gracious Lord. Peace be with you. Azure |

643 | God's fair standards to judge evildoers | John 5:28 | azurelaw | 232643 | ||
Dear Dan, You ask: "are you arguing that people who lived before Jesus came to earth was already condemned not to be saved at all?" Though I cannot answer on behalf of Steve, however, in response to your question, my answer is below (pay attention to the grammar): "He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe HAS BEEN JUDGED ALREADY, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. (John 3:18) I think Brother Beja's post 232596 about his exposition on Roman 1:18-32 is excellent and should be helpful for your understanding. You might consider to read those posts on the thread. Shalom Azure |

644 | why do you think jesus prayed? | John 5:30 | azurelaw | 199216 | ||
Dear Brother BradK, Well, I do believe that Jesus prayed also from pleasure - but solely the pleasure of His Father (our almighty God) as you have put it by John 5:30; 6:38. John 8:29 "And He who sent Me is with Me; He has not left Me alone, for I always do the things that are PLEASING to Him." :-) Shalom Azure |

646 | What is the meaqning of 'sealing?' | John 6:27 | azurelaw | 208360 | ||
Dear peacebestill, Welcome to the forum and it is nice to know that you finally participate the forum through posting instead of acting as a reader :-) In your 1st paragraph I cited below: "I think the nature of seals is that God puts the Holy Spirit into the equation, like when Jesus received the Holy Spirit in the Jordan River, and then we see Jesus having been given the power to do His whole ministry." I am not sure if I understand you correctly. Are you saying that Jesus only got the power for His ministry after He recieved the Holy Spirit as if it is something Jesus does not have or has never have before. Isn't it in contradiction to the doctrine of Trinity? What I understand from the passage about Jesus' being baptized is to express that both the Holy Spirit and God the Father Himself bear the witness for Christ as the Son of God, the Messiah. Thank you in advance for your further elaboration. Shalom Azure |

Dear sonofmom, As I read your posts, I pray that God will guide you to a church where you may grow and serve there for His glory. I believe Doc will give you his feedback concerning the affirmation of faith in your church. However, I would like to share a bit of my thought here with you. My church uses the Apostle Creed to confess our faith and we recite it on every Sunday service. The Creed talks mainly about the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. The central focus is on Christians' core belief instead of believers duty as the affirmation you have laid out. There is no SPECIFIC EMPHASIS on freedom in Christ either. All in all, the Apostle Creed's confession of faith is God-centred. While I agree your church's affirmation of faith is important for new members to guard their behaviour, however, I am afraid too much emphasis on them could side-track our central belief. I always wonder why churches like to develop their own affirmations of faith instead of using the jewels or refined gold that have been passed onto us by the saints of the old. Shalom Azure |

Dear Progolfer, Welcome to the forum. God predestines, chooses, saves, sanctifies and keeps/perseveres until the Lord's glorious day to come. Read John Chapter 17 and Roman Chapter 9.

Dear Bowler, You say : once you repent of your sins to Jesus alone, nobody else, ... not to God the Father ... Could you please elaborate more how would you come to the above conclusion in line with the below verse? Acts 20:21 solemnly testifying to both Jews and Greeks of repentance toward God and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. Thanks and Shalom Azure |

Dear Searcher, Thanks for your reply with quotes of the relevant scriptures which I failed to associate with. Was Bethany (where Lazarus lived) located in the Judea region? If so, then I could understand why Thomas made such statement. Thanks for your help and Shalom Azure P.S.: Is there any biblical maps concerning Jesus mission available for helping us to study the 4 gospel books? |
