1041 | Arguing Among Apostles?? | Gal 2:11 | srbaegon | 224745 | ||
Inquisitor, The Lord's explanation in Matt 13 is clear. He spoke in parables to prevent understanding in those from whom he wished to judge by it. The parables were not spiritual mental exercises. If they had been, most everybody failed them miserably. The only reason the twelve figured some of them out was because of Jesus' plain teaching to them on prior occasions. Steve |

1042 | God is one | Gal 4:4 | srbaegon | 121883 | ||
Hello WalkingTalkingBible, If I may amend your statements a bit... "Man was made in the 'likeness of God' in that man was made without sin and death (eternal)." If you drop "eternal," you would be 100 percent correct. Only God is eternal. And actually, there are other ways we are in God's image and likeness--rational thought, a spirit, etc. Basically, any attribute defining attribute of God that is not eternal in scope (omniscience, omnipotence, omnioresence) just to a much lesser degree. And then your statement: "Jesus, God's Word in the flesh, is whose image man (human) is made in:" Scripture says the Lord Jesus came in our image: Romans 8:3 (ESV) For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do. By sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh Philip. 2:7 (ESV) but made himself nothing, taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form Hebrews 2:14 (ESV) Since therefore the children share in flesh and blood, he himself likewise partook of the same things, that through death he might destroy the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil Steve |

1043 | How to follow, walk in the Spirit? | Gal 5:16 | srbaegon | 211775 | ||
Hello Nevvvvine, Tim never said we lose "the filling on account of 'sin' in our lives." He said the filling comes and goes. Refilling does not constitute loss as could be demonstrated by filling a glass of water, dumping out half, then refilling it. It is a similar concept with the Holy Spirit. Steve |

1044 | Lust in marriage?/ definition of lust | Gal 5:17 | srbaegon | 46887 | ||
Hello Tim, Oops, that means I erred. I answered this question with only an English translation on hand noticing the strictly negative connotation. Ah, well. Steve |

Hello ROGER459, I would ask that you respond in kindness when you disagree. To call this brother's salvation into question is unbecoming of a believer in the Lord Jesus. He asked a reasonable question that seeks a reasonable response. If you wish to disagree, do so in a way that honors our Lord. Steve |

1046 | what is involved in restoring....... | Gal 6:1 | srbaegon | 131051 | ||
Hello Roger459, How do you know if he is a believer? Matt 7:17-20 (ESV) 17 So, every healthy tree bears good fruit, but the diseased tree bears bad fruit. 18 A healthy tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a diseased tree bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Thus you will recognize them by their fruits. DocTrinsograce has shown the fruit of righteousness in his communication. Also, I never said that sharing the word of God was ungodly. If you are refering to DocTrinsograce's answer, then go back and reread it. He was questioning how you used the word of God. He thought it was deceitful. If you think he sinned, do as the Scriptures say: Gal 6:1-2 (ESV) 1 Brothers, if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted. 2 Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. And lastly, using capital letters is considered shouting on the internet. Steve |

Hello Reighnskye, The ID# that appears above the date/time stamp (in the list of threads at the bottom of the page) would have been sufficient rather than posting the whole thing. No harm done though. It's certainly abrasive. Feel free to click on "Abuse" (again above the date/time stamp) to report your feelings. Steve |

1048 | How did Paul understand salvation? | Eph 1:5 | srbaegon | 114883 | ||
Hello John, This makes for interesting mental gymnastics, but it's not Scripture. There are two explicit statements which come to mind that show what God will condemn us for: Matthew 12:31 (ESV) Therefore I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven people, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. John 3:36 (ESV) Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him. Neither says it's because Christ did not die for their sin. Steve |

Hello BradK, I also have Spurgeon on CD. I wish I had more time to read through his sermons. What time I have taken has been profitable. Steve |

1050 | Believing in the Bible and E.T.'s | Eph 2:2 | srbaegon | 164444 | ||
Hello FOE, You argue that if something CAN happen that it HAS happened. It makes for interesting mental gymnastics, but you shouldn't disrespect the people on this forum for disagreeing. May I point you to two books that say you are incorrect and that we are alone in the universe: 1. Privileged Planet by Gonzalez and Richards 2. Rare Earth by Ward and Brownlee Steve |

1051 | Do you have to know Christ? | Eph 2:8 | srbaegon | 146716 | ||
Hello BankruptandBrokenNext, You said: "the answer is no you don’t 'have to know Christ', but as sure as hell fire and brimstone Jesus must identify your soul as a part of his body." Would you clarify your response? I'm missing something. Steve |

1052 | ehesians2vs8 | Eph 2:8 | srbaegon | 156924 | ||
Hello C.S.M., God's word is not God's faith. The verse says that faith comes by the word. Therefore, the word is the vehicle by which faith comes. You make it sound as if the act of reading God's word is sufficient for faith. It's not. We must beilieve it. It's the obedience to the word that grows our faith. Steve |

1053 | ehesians2vs8 | Eph 2:8 | srbaegon | 156942 | ||
Hello CSM, I agree with your first sentence. Please share the Scripture that says God is faith. Please share the Scripture that says it is God's faith. Steve |

1054 | ehesians2vs8 | Eph 2:8 | srbaegon | 157096 | ||
Hello CSM, Everything you claim as God's faith speaks of our faith. I asked for a reference that says God is faith or God has faith or something to that effect. Steve |

Hello jelkins, Baptismal regeneration has been thoroughly discussed and debunked on this forum. There's no need to bring it up again. Steve |

1056 | The Wall Is Down | Eph 2:14 | srbaegon | 237408 | ||
Souls born of God's fountain of goodness were detained in the world. There was a wall in their midst, a sort of fence, a partition made by the deceits of the flesh and worldly lusts. Christ by his own mystery, his passion, and his way of life destroyed this wall. He overcame sin and taught that it could be overcome. He destroyed the lusts of the world and taught that they ought to be destroyed. He took away the wall in the midst. It was in his own flesh that he overcame the enmity. The work is not ours; we are not called to set ourselves free. Faith in Christ is our only salvation. Marius Victorinus, Commentary on Ephesians |

Hello ovadyah, Friend, you are building a case from pretext based on your foregone conclusion. You summarize academicians as matter-of-fact, without giving us the benefit of knowing what they actually said. You cite the pre-fulfillment words of the prophets and Christ as applicable to to post-fulfillment without accounting for context or audience. Finally, Paul's epistle to the Galatians puts the whole matter to rest. The Law could not justify and cannot sanctify. We rest on the finished work of Christ. Steve |
||||||
1058 | ... | Eph 2:15 | srbaegon | 211211 | ||
Hello ovadyah, OK, you're doing it again, so let's cut to the heart of the matter. Christ is the fulfillment of the Law. (You have already agreed to this.) If he is the fulfillment, what is the point of keeping it except what has been explicitly directed to Christians in the epistles? Note that Paul was rather specific about what he wrote. How much of the Law is to be kept? Gentiles are not expected to live like Jews (see Galatians 2:11-14; Acts 15). What is your personal purpose for desiring to keep the Law? You have already said that it is not necessary for justification or sanctification. Are you doing it just because you can? Steve |

Hello Ovadyah, We cannot communicate. Your first sentence is an agreement to something I never said. You add meaning to my references that is simply not there. There is no point in continuing. Steve |
