41 | Am I ignorant | 1 Cor 12:1 | humbledbyhisgrace | 212031 | ||
I'm not sure we see this the same but perhaps I misunderstand you. Let me ask this question of you to see if it clears things up for me. Do you believe this passage is saying that there is a need for more/new apostles and prophets in the church other then what we know of in Scripture? (i.e. there are apostles and prophets in the Church today)? Steve |

42 | Am I ignorant | 1 Cor 12:1 | humbledbyhisgrace | 212028 | ||
Nevvvvine, In this passage it is those (with the spiritual gifts) that are given to the Church. In other words it is the gifted people here that are given to the Church. Also, consider the work of the apostles and prophets. Their work still lives on today in the Church. The intent of their ministry has the same value and edification on the Church today. Your rendering of the passage assumes that because the Church has not attained to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature man, to the measure of the stature which belongs to the fullness of Christ that there is need for more apostles and prophets. The ministries of apostles and prophets of old are still applicable to the Church today. So no, this passage does not teach that there is need for more because the Church has not reached the full measure of Christ. Hope this helps! Steve |

Amen WOS! Choose not to honor God on any day for any reason and all you have done is gratified the enemy! he has won the battle and the loser is the one who was so easily deceived by him. God will still be glorified by those who love and adore Him and by His heavenly host! He reigns because He is King, He is Lord, He is God and there is no day that should pass that we not honor and worship Him! Steve |

keliy, I don't know about you but I don't see a point in claiming something if you don't believe it's the truth. :-) We all should be ready and willing to change our views if Scripture corrects them though! Steve |

47 | pleasestate your undestandingof verse | Prov 16:33 | humbledbyhisgrace | 211611 | ||
Greetings keliy! Trick question for you! Do nondenominational adherents have the truth and are all denominational adherents deceived? Just curious since you say the denominations are a danger because they each say they have the truth. Couldn't help but wonder were that left the nondenominational adherents???? The argument is sort of self defeating isn't it? It's nothing more then an attempt to discredit the position of denominational adherents in favor of nondenominational adherents. I know a lot of nondenominational churches and members use this argument as you have but I've often wondered if they ever see how self defeating the argument is. Or perhaps if it's they think they have the truth and the denominational churches don't then they just don't get it????????? Get the point? Steve |

Greetings keliy, Persecution of Christ and His disciples have a particular context in scripture. It shouldn't be confused with biblical correction and admonishment. Persecution comes from those apposed to God and His people. Admonishment and correction are between Christian and Christian and is intended to turn one in error from his or her error. Steve |

49 | Why Did god call jesus his begotten sun? | John 3:16 | humbledbyhisgrace | 211364 | ||
Mark, Scripture does not teach Jesus the Christ, the only begotten Son of God was created! None of the passages you reference teach this and indeed no passage of scripture will teach it. Hebrews 1:3 says that He (Jesus) is the "radiance of His glory and the exact representation of His nature". Exact representation does not allow for the concept the He was created. In fact, to be the "exact representation" clearly proclaims the deity of Jesus. John 1:1-3 should help clear this up for you. John 1:1-3 (NASB) 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 1:2 He was in the beginning with God. 1:3 All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being. The Word spoken of here is Jesus the Son of God and it clearly says the Word was God. Verse 2 clearly tells us He was in the beginning with God. All things! Don't miss this! ALL THINGS came into being through Him and nothing came into being but through Him. He did not create Himself! Scripture clearly teaches that Christ Jesus is indeed God. He God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit are eternal. From eternity past to eternity future Christ Jesus was and will be! Hope this helps. Steve |

Greetings Doc! My duties to study and ministry has kept me busy of late so I'm not spending much time on line. Sort of hit and miss lately. But I peeked in on this thread today to see what was up. Here's a good start on Grudem's position... http://www.challies.com/archives/interviews/continuationism.php I've also listen to him regarding some of the gifts as is relevant to this discussion on Piper's web site. http://www.desiringgod.org/ResourceLibrary/ConferenceMessages/ByConference/19/ There are several audio clips on this page. It comes from the 1991 Pastors Conference (Spiritual Gifts and the Sovereignty of God). Steve |

53 | Does Christ come into our hearts? | Rom 10:9 | humbledbyhisgrace | 210337 | ||
Greetings Brother! You bring up a great point!!! I fear we all have been touched by some of the terminology spouted in Christian circles over time which does indeed tend to change not only meaning but also possibly understanding. I find it an area of concern in that we need to gently and lovingly explain (which I think you did a fine job of by the way!). But I have seen how this can go to the extreme in the other direction as well as some will so misunderstand another they will apply their own meaning to what someone else says. Jesus is indeed Lord and it is a blessing from God Himself that we come to that understanding! Understanding and acknowledging that seems to me to make the surrender oh so sweet! God bless, Steve |

Greetings Cheri! Thanks for the link. I think I installed this one time before in the past but had read something on it that left me wondering of the quality of interpretation etc... Of course, I'm no judge of such because the Hebrew and Greek are foreign languages to me. Ha! :-) I do have Hebrew and Greek Interlinear resources but I was wondering what Tim was using. Thank you very much! Your brother in Christ, Steve |

55 | Who is the Wretched Man? | Rom 7:24 | humbledbyhisgrace | 209931 | ||
Greetings Tim, If sin were victorious as you say, then how in this verse does the "I" no longer have guilt of being the one doing the sin? What could possibly be meant by "now and no longer I" if this is talking about an unregenerate person? When you have time, please explain why/how you see this as sin being victorious. I'm not following that. By the way, I was not accusing you of saying I had gotten my view from anyone. Sorry if it came across that way. Thanks Tim! Your bother in Christ, Steve |

56 | Who is the Wretched Man? | Rom 7:24 | humbledbyhisgrace | 209920 | ||
Greetings Tim, On your point 1 I still find disagreement because of the passage in Philippians. This passage is actually Paul "a mature Christian", a regenerate person describing himself when he was a Pharisee. The very thing you are saying about Romans 7:14-25. Who are the "early church fathers" you are referring to? By the way, I have already mentioned I didn't even know this passage was viewed differently and my understanding doesn't come from someone else's view. I say that just to make the point that I have not adopted the view of others but rather it is my own understanding of Scripture. So, if I am wrong in my understanding it is not due to others but rather my own inabilities to understand :-( Your point 2 still does not validate the passage as you have described it (my opinion :-) When Paul or you or me or anyone was sold into the bondage of sin, we were indeed the "I", we were nothing but "fleshly". It is a statement of fact so to speak. If it were describing his current state, then the following verses would have to reflect that truth i.e. that he, the "I" is still in bondage to sin wouldn't it? Hopefully from that you can follow my way of thinking on this :-) So, if you would, give the same treatment to Romans 7:17 as you did Romans 7:14 Romans 7:17 Now then no more I that do it, but that dwelleth in me. sin By the way, what resource are you using for the literal translation you presented? Thanks brother! Your bother in Christ, Steve |

Greetings Brother, Good stuff! Just wanted to toss this in the mix also. See Romans 8:9-11 Romans 8:9-11 (NASB) 8:9 However, you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the SPIRIT OF GOD dwells in you. But if anyone does not have the SPIRIT OF CHRIST, he does not belong to Him. 8:10 IF CHRIST IS IN YOU, though the body is dead because of sin, yet the spirit is alive because of righteousness. 8:11 But if the SPIRIT OF HIM who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you. Emphases added! Granted, the triune God is not easy to wrap ones mind around and even harder to put to words but it's impossible to argue against the deity of Christ Jesus considering all of Scripture! Yours was an excellent post brother! Well said!!! Steve |

58 | Who is the Wretched Man? | Rom 7:24 | humbledbyhisgrace | 209862 | ||
Brother Tim, In regards to you speaking for me, well, I guess I don't mind so much brother as long as it's accurate :-) But in this case it's not an accurate assessment so I must correct what you said. It appears all my ramblings are not properly conveying my thoughts. The contradiction is that we are to believe for example the lost person joyfully concurs with the law of God in the inner man (v22). The Scriptures say the lost person is dead in his trespasses and sins indulging the desires of the flesh and of the mind , and by nature children of wrath (Ephesians 2:1, 3). This dear brother does not reflect one who joyfully concurs with the law of God in the inner man. We are not talking about a simple matter of the mind, but the nature of the man. Where I disagree with your position is where you say there "is a direct 1 to 1 correlation". Look at verse 14 again. Paul does not say that he is NOW sold into sin. He says "I am OF flesh, sold into bondage to sin". The flesh is sold into bondage to sin. This is a statement of fact and it applies to all of us. Those who are lost or nothing but sinful flesh. Only in Him do we have freedom. The freedom as I pointed out and understand it is we are justified in Him, no longer condemned. The freedom is not that the flesh is no longer sinful. This is clear from Romans 6:6-7, 6:12-13a, and Romans 8:5-8. It is only once Christ is in us the spirit lives (Romans 8:10). I have a question for you my brother. In verse 24 Paul says "Wretched man that I am!..." Tell me, considering what Scripture teaches us about the lost as I have pointed out in previous post in this thread and again above regarding Ephesians 2:1 and 2:3, where do we find the lost person considering themselves wretched? Granted, they are indeed wretched, but given Scripture, how are we to understand that one described as they are has such a view of themselves as so? That is how I understand it. It is much much more than a matter of the mind as you attributed to my position. Your brother in Christ, Steve |
