581 | How do we see ourselves? | NT general Archive 1 | skccab | 193227 | ||
AFternoon Maxpower, You made a very good point. I have no problem with calling myself a "bond-servant," "apostle?" I'd have to REALLY think about that one :-)! And thank you so much for the correction, I'll make note of it in my Bible. (Figured I'd probably miss something, I usually do.) I REALLY liked the quotes from Eccl. Thank you, Maxpower. It's been a long time since I've read that book, but those are gonna get a big mark too. But I'd still like to see what my question brings up. After all, "hardly ever" once (so far :-) ) doesn't negate all those scriptures that I found and all the ones I didn't post!! Shalom Cheri |

P.S. Steve Also, those verses do confirm that we indeed miss the mark quite often but Paul does not call himself a "sinner"; he only admits that like everyone else he battles the old bad habits he'd lived with for so long that are contrary to the word of our God. And John, the same thing, he does not state that we are sinners and if we say we're not we're liars - he says that sin (the natural inclinations to live and behave contrary to God's word) is within us, etc. So my question is why we don't say the same thing about ourselves that the Bible says. Don't you think if we spoke of ourselves more often in the good sense (that is quite Biblical) that maybe the battle against that "old man's" appetites might not appear so daunting? Just a thought Cheri |

Hi Steve, Thank you for answering so quickly. I am differentiating between being called a "sinner" (as we were before being saved) and being human and sometimes committing a sin (either because we have become lazy or just didn't see it as a sin). To me, the latter does not qualify as putting a believer back in the same status as that of the sinner he/she was before redemption. Just because I commit a sin by YELLING at you in anger does not put me back in the same category as the sinner does it? It puts a chism (sp?) between you and me that I must make right with you and our God, but it won't send me to damnation, will it? (By the way, I wasn't really yelling at you, my bother, just an example, please.) Do you understand what I'm asking? Cheri |

584 | What is the Ending to Preterism view? | NT general Archive 1 | skccab | 193132 | ||
Hi Hank, That's pretty much my take on it, too. For something that I can't really put much "belief" into, I was just getting into too much reading and never coming to the end of it - like how does this all affect us as believers today, where do we picture into it, and when it's all over, where are we? There doesn't seem to be any "The End" to it? And if you, dear Hank, don't know how this view ends - then I guess the folks who thought it up need to go back to the drawing board! After spending 4-5 days bouncing all over that web site, I still can't figure out how it all affects us today and what's in our future? (And the scary thing is that except for those 2 questions being left unanswered - that website has enough info to suck you right into it!!) Thanks for answering me so quickly, Hank, I appreciate it. And I pray that others who have been led to that site (it was listed on an earlier post here) read your answer. Shalom Cheri |

585 | "The Great Commission" ? | Col 1:23 | skccab | 192882 | ||
Doc, Hi. I went to the http site this guy posted in one of his notes and I must say - it's quite enticing; it takes a verse here and there and does a pretty good job of making a convincing case. BUT, my problem is that after 2 days of reading this site (trying to go in order) I'm not sure where I'm supposed to end up. Can you tell me in just a paragraph or two what preterists believe? If it's that we are now in what most of us believers are looking forward to, the marriage supper of the Lamb, the Millennium, New heavens and new earth, haba olam - then how could anyone believe that? My brain is old now and has trouble remembering some things but I'm not dead yet and I think I'd remember those events! Thanks in advance. Cheri |

587 | Hebrew language? | Bible general Archive 3 | skccab | 192719 | ||
Hi Mike, I'm aware of that site also (although I'm very happy it passed inspection by Hank, one whose opinion I highly prize) and it's about as accurate as others. As you study Hebrew, you'll find some call a Yod a Yud, a Kaf a Kuf, etc., nothing major. See if there is a Messianic Jewish fellowship in your area, they very often offer Hebrew lessons, and I would imagine delving into something like that would be a lot more fun, not to mention easier, with others. My Messianic fellowship is starting up Hebrew lessons in the next month or so and I'm soooo excited!! I, too, started trying to learn Hebrew on my own (it's absolutely amazing), but needless to say, once I got the letters down and their numerical values, I kinda got stuck, so really looking forward to the classes. Good luck from me too. :-) Cheri |

588 | If I commit suicide, can I go to heaven? | Job | skccab | 192605 | ||
Hi Larry, Everyone has assumed that you have a "home church" to go to to seek help. Let me advise that if you do not have such a place, that the Salvation Army is not only equipped to help you with your spiritual needs they can also very possibly help you with the Bipolar disorder. If you do have a home church ignore above. I'm praying for you, Cheri |

Hey Brad, I agree with Lionheart. There is one church I know of in Tx. who's folks go out and they will go thru a drive-thru and ask the attendant to pray with them. The attendant agrees and they do a 3-4 line quickie "sinner's prayer," give them a brochure, and then add that person to their "souls won for Jesus" list!! Can you believe that? And they tell the person that he is now saved, too. That person certainly can't be said to have prayed in earnest, could he? Blessings Cheri |

593 | Can a Christian reject God's grace | NT general Archive 1 | skccab | 192437 | ||
Agreed. But wouldn't he be considered one of the talkers and not the walkers? He had his own agenda, not God's. And he was either very deceived or very evil. But his "efforts" were still to God's glory in the end. Someone had to do the evil deed - it was prophesied (and that has always fascinated me how that all worked out). Cheri |

Jesusman, Yes, maybe I misunderstood the thread (trying to multitask, don't you know?), but I thought that's where we were heading - that God gives us the "will" to do His "desire." And His desire is for us to do that which is good in His sight. Therefore, if we are truly "saved" we won't do the things that are displeasing to Him - at least not knowingly and wilfully. As a born again believer I want nothing more than to please my Father - I can't believe that any other born again believer would want to displease Him. The only view I can take is that if there is someone who calls Yeshua Lord and does the things that bring shame to Him, they are not true sons of God, they are liars, playing the "religion game." They do not have a salvation for them or God to finsh (I see it as a joint venture, both, the Father and the son, are vested in it). Cheri |

597 | Hypocrite and refused to be saved same? | Bible general Archive 3 | skccab | 192393 | ||
Hey Jeff, Maybe I'm pretexting here, but using Lk 12:48b ...And to whomsoever much is given, of him shall much be required: and to whom they commit much, of him will they ask the more. And also the verse that talks about teachers being more accountable (I don't know where that one is) I've always thought about that verse in 1Cor. 5 as being to just let the wrong-doer be if after all is said and done he/she refuses to stop behaving badly. The more it's pointed out that it is wrong the more light is going in and being ignored (therefore more to answer for). Like you said, it's a brother or sister we're talking about (a wayward one, no doubt) and we need to be there if and when they "come to themselves." I'm having trouble wording this, but maybe you follow what I'm trying to say? :-) - We don't kick them out (excommunicate/ostracize) them but we don't embrace them wholeheatedly as though they are in the right either? Cheri |

598 | Is killing scriptual in theNEW TESTAMENT | Matt 5:44 | skccab | 192387 | ||
Hi Vonderful, You sent this to me (I am not the one asking about NT reference to wars), you wanted to send it to John Discipleship. John D will see this, but not get the notification of a response to his original question (I got the notification because you clicked on my response.) It's a little confusing, but you'll get the hang of it soon :-). Blessings Cheri |

599 | is how we use our talents to be judged? | NT general Archive 1 | skccab | 192384 | ||
Hi Jesusman, Thank you so much for the effort you put into your response. From years ago when I adopted the "pre-trib" view, I still have some "old" views that need to be (and are) being reconsidered. The "pre-tribulational" view has all the events wrapped up so nicely that it is hard to let it go, but it is not as scripturally based as the other views. And you just re-confirmed that for me. That's one of the things I love about SBF - it allows for thinking and re-thinking biases that we have grown up with (and we ALL have them). So, once again, thank you. Still learning :-) Cheri |

Good morning Vonderful, Welcome to the Forum, glad to have someone up and moving at this early hour!! I'm enjoying reading your posts, but could you not use the caps key? It makes for difficult reading for old eyes. (Although logically, I'd think it would make reading the posts easier, go figure.) :-) Blessings Cheri |
