1104 | Is water baptism must for Holy communion | NT general Archive 1 | justme | 76153 | ||
Reformer Joe: You will have to remember I am as old as dirt, and my experience in the Navy was in the sixties, so yes it was decades ago. That was also at a time there was still segragation, and women were not allowed on ships, or in combat, and we did as we instructed or the consequences were sever. Religion was on the dog tags as Protestant or Catholic or Jewish. I never heard of anyone who called thenselves Muslin then. I am sure that is not the case now. Scripture makes the partaker responsible for being unworthy in taking communion. I was once a member of a 5,000 member SBC church. There is no way a pastor could be held as irresponsible if unworthy people partook. That is the work of the Holy Spirit, is it not? As for Judas, do you think the breaking of bread and the drinking of wine was done only at the last supper? That was done as symbolic of the passover before Jesus became flesh. The same is true with baptism, it was practiced for converts to Judiaism. Many of the customs and ordiances we have as Christians have been carried over. Then again some very unscriptual things have become very prevelent in the church today. Just look at most chruches at Ressurection Sunday, most refer to that Holy day as easter! Eastar was a goddess od fertility! Yet most Christians polute this special day with estar! Who is being irresonsible in this? Joe, I never said anything about homosexuals taking communion! I fail to see what I said would give you any idea that was in anything I said. I think perhaps you are not understanding me correctly. I never said there would not be judgement for partaking unworthly. What I said was damnation. I say what ever a person does is between then and the Lord, and he will judge, not me or anyone else. I believe in open communion where the believer determines their own worthyness. That is whatit means when Paul says each one should examine them self. Perhaps I am wrong, as sometimes its hard to see in a note the tone of a person. However, I feel that you are belittling me in you note. Especially when refering to when I genuinely say Blessings and Peace. That is exactely what I really mean. If you find that my note or understanding of Scripture in error, than you are welcome to be up front about it, but please don't mock me in asking and doubting what I said was truth. I have no idea weather the Priest used real wine or not. To be honest that was not important to me. Even today that is not an issue for me. I found out first hand, that at a time of serious illness or being wounded the prayers of of a Roman Catholic or Protestant chaplin were most welcome, and comforting. I think most injured Armed Service personal would agree, even today. Chaplins in the Service serve ALL faiths, that is required of them. However even though it is required I found Chaplins were guinely concerned and qualified to minister in an effective way. I had no intentions of ruffing up anyones fur, I hope this explains my thoughts better. justme |

Reformer Joe: There is no doubt that new believers must confess Jesus as Lord in open confession, through Baptism. I am not speaking about someone who is unrepentant in a defiant way. My point is that not everyone has a choice in taking communion. While in the USN everyone took a wafer dipped in grape juice as it was required, and there was no choice about it not partaking. I have more than reasonable doubt nonbelievers took communion in bootcamp. The Priest that administered the commuinon was following his orders as well. I was not then, and am not a Roman Catholic now. I felt rather out of place in this worship and communion service. AS to if a person should or should not take communion, if they are not Baptized, that would require "closed communion" which I find unscriptual. The cloice to partake or not to, is up to the believer, they alone can judge if they are to partake or not. Scripture say's we are to examine ourselves. Partaking unworthly as the church of Corinth was doing was condemed by Paul, and serves as an example today as to what is not acceptable. I personally am not as concerned about new Christians taking commuinon before being Baptized. I am more concerened about ordinary Christians who have been baptized, maybe some in ministry, who have secret sins. Quite often we hear of pastors in affairs, or those in church leadership doing immoral acts, that no one knows of, only God Himself. I believe we live in times that sexual purity in Christians is not much better than the worlds view. I have seen a good number of pastors witch lost their families and ministries because of sexual sin. Yet until they were caught they did commuinon services, Baptisms, Weddings and preach. I am sure every sexual sin there is, many churches have members is sin today. I do not see that a pastor doing his or her best in being obediant to the call of Christ, and administering communion, can be called irresponsible if he or she is unaware of such sins of the people. I most certianly can not find damnation for a child or unsaved person partakes is under Gods to be punnished list. I see Communion as an ordaince not a sacrement. I revere Jesus and what He said, but let us not forget Judas took the cup as well, and followed Jesus, he saw the healings and much more. Does that not show even our Lord knew what was in Judas' heart? If I being a mear mortal, can not know a persons heart, then that makes the partakers accountablity to the Lord Jesus, not me. In responding to you Joe, I am not attempting to disagree with you. I just see there is a large gray area that is left up to each believer or unbeliever that no pastor can be held accountable for. We each must face Christ, face to face and let His judgement be given to us in His mercy and grace. Perhaps we as sinfull humans have harsher judgement on each other than the Lord Himself. Perhaps, I have seen commuinon done in many ways that has been inlightening for me. I have seen communion services before a bombimg run took place, when someone was about to die, at a table with family, between a small group of church leaders, and after a funeral service. Churches have communion at different times sone every Lords day, or once a month, or quarterlty, yearly. The ways of actually eating the bread and wine, are just as verrird as well. Some use saltien crakers, some real unlevened bread, then some use grape juice and some real wine. I have ever heard of what ever juce was available at the time. I think the most important thing is we do the communion as remembering Christ is our risen LORD and by Grace from Jesus are told to fo this in remembering Him. I don't know it all, and I certainly would not fault some one who does the service differently unBiblical. There is a wide understanding on this issue that's for sure. Blessings and peace. justme |

1106 | Pre Tribulation rapture? | Bible general Archive 1 | justme | 75343 | ||
CDBJ:Justme here, did you intend for searcher to receive this? I was the one with the question and your response is good, thank you. I would think for those who hold to the "left behind" book club might be quite misled into thinking that there just might be some other way to see Scripture. Infact other theories don't sell many books I would imagine. If God did not spare His Son the ultimate suffering of the sins of all mankind who would recieve Him, that who are we to think we would not share in Christ's suffering as well? C. I. Scofield had several problems that today we see were unothordox. However C.I. Scofield Bibles are sold in updated versions of several kinds. What a person believes about the tribulation or rapture is no reason to not fellowship with each other, it only serves to have a direction as to what we believe and be able to dialogue about it. Thank you for your response. justme |

Reformer Joe: Its ok to disagree I don't mind. Could you give some scripture that supports your view? I have seen many people take communion that had questional sins which should disqualify them, but did anyway. I have seen unsaved Servicemen given communion as well. Ultimately it is God who will judge the situation and the heart of the partaker. Thanks for your opinion. justme |

giboone: I got your last note first, and then this one. I will respond that Several have tried to say Greg you are headed toward a cliff. However you are so strongly self assured that you can not hear a word that is being spoken. I would say it appears you are unteachable, and you will most likely Find the Forum to be frustrating for you. Again I say with respect and kindness there is nothing else for me to say. justme |

1110 | What is iniquity in Matthew 7:23? | Matt 7:23 | justme | 75091 | ||
giboone: The correct translation is HOLY SPIRIT, there is really no such thing as ghost in the NT. I will state you are more educated in defence of your religious ideas than almost anyone I have seen recently in our forum. However, being well educated in Biblical knowledge does not mean you have saving faith. I belive you have said faith based on works and keeping ritual, but you appear to be quite unorthodox in your understanding of what Christ is and has done. I am sorry for you. You have come to many wrong conclusions, and my deepest sympathy is extended to you. God have mercy upon you. I really have nothing much left to say. justme |

giboone: Having read this very long thread that you have noteworthy been involved in, I for one find your theology and Biblical knowledge quite remarkable. I made some observations that stand out rather clearly to me about you, in your notes and responses to others. Clearly you do not except what the book of Acts says about Peter and the sheet, and that all living things were now to be eaten. In your notes to Hank, you showed you are able to defend your opinion with a well crafted and thoughtout opposition. I find it odd that with your knowledge of Scripture you still consider yourself a truth seeker. Clearly the knowledge you have did not come about in a short duration of study. The evidence of Biblical knowledge you display shows much study and reasonong have taken place in your heart and mind. There is little doubt in my mind as to you stand on the questions Hank and others asked you, it was clear to me,after reading all you notes. Greg, the thing that stands out so transparent is that you have head knowledge beyond most who call themselves Christians. Which I humbly but have no reluctance in making it clearly understood. Greg as you know the thing that is clear, what you do not have is genuine love for other believers. Christ said that Love would be one way to tell believers in Christ by, was their love for each other. Greg, there is more than enough knowledge to get what you need to become born again. However, if you are so determined to defend your unorthodox beliefs about keeping the law over accepting the Grace and Mercy of Jesus Christ who has set you free if only you would come out of the life of living under the law. Seldom does someone of your deternation and knowledge make the step of faith into wisdom in Chist. You have my sincere pity, for you have head knowledge, but you heart is hard, and you may be so smart that child like faith may be impossible for you, that Greg is very sad. You well may be too smart and wise in your own eyes to see you have become futile and foolish in your search for knowledge you have'nt found the TRUTH AND THE WAY.....Jesus Christ. Peace. justme |

gracefull: Could you please give me what the purpose, and qualifications for Apostle is? What would an Apostle do today? What scripture do you base this is a office that could be passed on?

1118 | TATTOOS....yea or nay?? | Bible general Archive 1 | justme | 73983 | ||
Hank: Thank you for one of the best presented notes on Tattoos I have evere read. I kwow a dear man, my spiritual father, who is now 82. He was a pastor for more than 40 years. However, while unsaved in the US Navy durring World War Two he got a tattoo of a unclothed woman on his arm. When he became a Christian he was un able to find a Doctor back then to remove it, as he was quite ashamed of it. So he took a electric grinder to his arm! The scar still left some "parts" showing he felt should be kept hidden. Until 1985 he wore longsleve shirts. He had three daughters and they never saw his arm until 1985 when he had more cosmetic surgery done. His arm looks like he was badly burned. Today he wares short sleves, and the shame is gone, but the scars remain. One stupid act done in a drunken moment can bare a life time of pain. I can't help but think sin is much like a tattoo in that even though Christ may forgive our sin, the consequences may well last the rest of our life. That is an awsome thought, that we need to keep in our hearts. Blessings to you. justme |

1119 | Anti Christ? Is America Babylon or Iraq? | Daniel | justme | 73977 | ||
richilou 2003: I would have more respect for the "left behind" booksif it was clearly stated that the Author's were adding fiction to make the books marketable. I have seen a church library that had the set and the books were treated like commentaries, and exact theology of the end time studies. I have been studing what scripture for a good length of time and I have yet to see but just a few who in complete honesty say there is merit for different views to the pre, mid, and post-tribulation return of Christ. Look carefully at Matthew 24:29 " But immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken." 30. "And then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky with power and great glory. 31. And He will send forth His angels with a great trumpet and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other." NASB Updated Those words are from our Lord Jesus Christ. Could He make it any clearer to understand? I would like anyone to tell me this took place in AD 70 or any other time up to now. So I find a real problem with Darbys theory that is so commonly held today. I think any theory that does not follow what Jesus saod here has a very serious flaw. When this will happen, not even Jesus knew, ONLY the FATHER! We are told to be ready, prepared, and expectant, and steadfast. Jesus said several times that when you think His return has to be now He said its "not yet". The left behind theology has become almost cultic, in the way if one dares to oppose or proclaim what Jesus actually did say you are looked down as ignorant or liberal. I do believ we need to be ready as Jesus could come atany time, and we need to live as we may very well live to the age of passing on in old age. I resent scaring people to make people say a prayer, and have come to a fearful knowlwdge of God but not a saving knowledge of God's only Son Jesus Christ! I personally think we are yet to be even in the birth pains, of Christs return. I am waiting to see "immediately after the tribulation" as verse 29 says the things to happen. Those things Jesus said are "yet to happem". I by no means clain to be an expert on the end times, but I can and do believe what our Lord said. For me that is enough. I am far to busy trin to let the Lords Love show through me to be so overwhelmed with the Left behind theology. Think even at 10 dollars a book that has been sold so far, that amount could have been used the real work of Lord rather than entertainment, and fiction at that. I am surs some will say look at how many have come to christ threw these books. I say real Scripture presented person to person could do far better! justme |

Reformer Joe: Wow, thats pretty cool, I like your idea. Only thing joe, is that I have no experience of being under a governmental King. I have too much experience under a boss. Boss is easier for some to relate to. Now those in the UK would relate to that relate quite well. I do think King Jesus is a very regal picture, and a accurate one as well. Thanks Joe! justme |
