661 | Why Could He Not Do Many Miracles? | Luke 9:42 | srbaegon | 207150 | ||
Hello Imm, Different Steve here. Since faith is proved by its action, we can say the people had faith that Jesus could heal and acted accordingly. However, in no wise would I ever say that the evidenced faith CAUSED the flow. That would place me as sovereign over God--a horrible thought. Steve |

662 | Why Could He Not Do Many Miracles? | Luke 9:42 | srbaegon | 207162 | ||
Hello Imm, In the post I answered, you said my act caused God's virtue to pour out on my life. God is beholden to me. In this post, you say come to God to receive what He has promised. So I have to initiate the possibility of receiving the gift. In the finally analysis God is still beholden to me, just at a different level. Steve |

663 | ..Do not keep moving from house to house | Luke 10:7 | srbaegon | 52787 | ||
Hello Makarios Aren't you are just being more spiritually minded and following Abraham's example who by faith "went to live in the land of promise" (Heb 11:9)? Of course, if you were REALLY spiritual you'd be "living in tents." Steve |

Hello Makarios Glad things went well. I'll have to drop in. I'm only 8 hours away. ;-) Steve |

Hello c marengo, You asked kalos, "I have a question...is death our enemy?" Yes! 1 Cor. 15:26 (ESV) The last enemy to be destroyed is death. Steve |

Hello c marengo, If death has been destroyed on the cross, Christians would not die. The context of the verse is something still future. It's at that time the final enemy is destroyed. Steve |

Hello c marengo, We are locked into the physical because that's the context of 1 Cor 15--resurrection of the body. It's death in that we are separated from our bodies albeit only for a time. Steve |

669 | antichrist | Luke 10:27 | srbaegon | 125116 | ||
Hello c marengo, Let's clear up some terms. When I speak of death, it is the separation of the physical from the nonphysical. That's how the term is used in 1 Cor 15, which calls death an enemy. You seem to be blending physical death with death to self. You state that we only truly die once. That's true for death to self, but physical death still awaits the Christian, and it's still an enemy despite your philosophizing. Steve |

670 | What happens to our soul when we die? | Luke 12:20 | srbaegon | 156800 | ||
Hello SBoone, You are changing the normal understanding of words to conform to your theology. Feel free to assume that Scripture means what it says. Rev 14:9-11 (ESV) And another angel, a third, followed them, saying with a loud voice, "If anyone worships the beast and its image and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand, he also will drink the wine of God’s wrath, poured full strength into the cup of his anger, and he will be tormented with fire and sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever, and they have no rest, day or night, these worshipers of the beast and its image, and whoever receives the mark of its name." Steve |

Hello SBoone, Now you are taking words out of context to make them equivalent. I cannot agree to disagree with one who takes a dishonest view of Scripture. Steve |

672 | love as opposed to false humility | Luke 16:1 | srbaegon | 208229 | ||
Hello s-o-g, You are answering an unknown question. You would do well to respond as the system was designed. I will make comment. 1. You say that the essence of the Law was found in Lev. 19:18, yet the Lord Jesus said otherwise in the following. Notice which command is considered greatest. Matt 22:34-40 (ESV) [34] But when the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together. [35] And one of them, a lawyer, asked him a question to test him. [36] "Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?" [37] And he said to him, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. [38] This is the great and first commandment. [39] And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. [40] On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets." 2. You desire the reader to "pray for spiritual discernment rather than knowledge of facts and figures." Spiritual discernment comes from knowing God's word. If I do not have knowledge, I cannot discern. Steve |

Hello Ken hepting, You said: "These are the ones, those who did righteous deeds that the blood Christ will redeem." Christ does not redeem those who do righteous deeds. None do righteous deeds until coming to God by faith (Romans 3). You said: "The Grace of God can't be so narrow as to not include them because they never heard the name of Jesus." Excuse me? What is required to please God? Hebrews 11:6 (ESV) And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him. How does on get saved? Romans 10:9-10,13 (ESV) because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. [10] For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved... [13] For "everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." If belief is required, what is my job? Romans 10:14-15 (ESV) But how are they to call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching? [15] And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!" And if faith is required to please God, where does it come from? Romans 10:17 (ESV) So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ. Therefore, the gospel must be heard and believed. Steve |

674 | unrighteous shall not inhert the kingdom | Luke 16:18 | srbaegon | 92426 | ||
Hello Ken hepting, As to the first question: Does it really matter who commits it? Adultery is adultery and detestable in God's eyes. As to the second question: In the wedding feast parable, the man who attempted to enter in was thrown out because he tried to come by his own way and not in accordance with the wishes of the host. Obviously, this man is a picture of one who would try to enter heaven by his or her own way. Steve |

Hello Ken, To what am I not paying attention? You said that there are those who have not heard the gospel which will be in the book of life. Scripture says you are wrong. Steve |

676 | Born into the Kingdom of God? | Luke 16:18 | srbaegon | 92663 | ||
Hello Ken, You asked "Does that sound like people going to hell?" What it sounds like is that people are going to be judged according to their works just as you have quoted. But since it's impossible to be saved without hearing the good news of Jesus Christ (according to Romans 10 which has been quoted to you by a couple of us), we must assume that the good works are a result of faith in God's revelation through His word, not through creation. Steve |

677 | Born into the Kingdom of God? | Luke 16:18 | srbaegon | 92664 | ||
Hello Ken, Yes, I believe "'just saved people' are joint heirs with Christ." Paul said so. 1 Cor. 3:12-15 (ESV) Now if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw? [13] each one's work will become manifest, for the Day will disclose it, because it will be revealed by fire, and the fire will test what sort of work each one has done. [14] If the work that anyone has built on the foundation survives, he will receive a reward. [15] If anyone's work is burned up, he will suffer loss, though he himself will be saved, but only as through fire. Steve |

678 | Born into the Kingdom of God? | Luke 16:18 | srbaegon | 92670 | ||
Hello Ken, Yes, I get the point. They never heard the gospel at any time whatsoever. I understand that. What you are not understanding is that the gospel must be heard in order to believe--again look at Romans 10. Those appearing before the throne in Rev 20 are not all believers waiting to receive rewards. The text does not say that. What it says is that each gets judged according to his works. Steve |

679 | Born into the Kingdom of God? | Luke 16:18 | srbaegon | 92675 | ||
Hello Ken, You ask: "Building what?" Perhaps I should have add verses 10-11 in order to get the context of the paragraph. Paul is refering to building on the foundation of Christ Jesus. We build by the works we do after salvation. No, works will not keep me saved. That's part of 1 Cor 3 that I quoted. If we believe on the Lord Jesus, we will be saved even if we do a poor job in this life. You should worry about works for two reasons. First, because God wants us to do them. Ephes. 2:10 (ESV) For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. Second, because they prove to others the faith we have. James 2:18-20 (ESV) But someone will say, "You have faith and I have works." Show me your faith apart from your works, and I will show you my faith by my works. [19] You believe that God is one; you do well. Even the demons believe?and shudder! [20] Do you want to be shown, you foolish person, that faith apart from works is useless? Steve |

Hello Ken, Yes, those who have heard the gospel have the greater responsibility because they have had greater revelation. But that does not mean that those who are a law unto themselves (as it states in Romans 2) are believers. Again, they have never heard the gospel which is required for belief according to Romans 10.
