1043 | Retain or forgive sins? | John 20:22 | stjohn | 204859 | ||
Dear Colin: I have posted this before but it hopefully will give you a proper perspective on these verses. God and God alone has the power to forgive sins! I think John Gill exposits from this part of Scripture clearly and succinctly. "Ver. 23. Whose soever sins ye remit,.... God only can forgive sins, and Christ being God, has a power to do so likewise; but he never communicated any such power to his apostles; nor did they ever assume any such power to themselves, or pretend to exercise it; it is the mark of antichrist, to attempt anything of the kind; who, in so doing, usurps the divine prerogative, places himself in his seat, and shows himself as if he was God: but this is to be understood only in a doctrinal, or ministerial way, by preaching the full and free remission of sins, through the blood of Christ, according to the riches of God's grace, to such as repent of their sins, and believe in Christ; declaring, that all such persons as do so repent and believe, all their sins are forgiven for Christ's sake:" --John Gill's Compleat Exposision Of The Whole Bible. Shalom John |

1045 | Theological Term: Predestination | Eph 1:5 | stjohn | 204712 | ||
Hi Jamison: What you are referring to is called the (doctrine of election). Not that it is expressly exclusive from predestination, but they are different. You ask questions that call for speculation so I will out of respect for the promise we made when we signed on to SBF, not endeavor to answer, but suffice it to say, no, the Bible doesn't teach another possibility. Shalom and God bless John "Divine predestination means that God has a purpose that is determined long before it is brought to pass. It implies that God is infinitely capable of planning and then bringing about what he has planned, and Scripture speaks of him as doing this" --Baker's Theological Dictionary of the Bible "In summary, we can say that God has had a special love relationship with the elect from all eternity, and on the basis of that love relationship chosen them for salvation. The ultimate question of why God chose some for salvation and left others in their sinful state is one that we, with our finite knowledge, cannot answer. We do know that God's attributes always are in perfect harmony with each other, so that God's sovereignty will always operate in perfect harmony with His goodness, love, wisdom, and justice." --John MacArthur |

Dear Val: I must say it's a mystery to me how or why the Spirit works, your post brings to mind, a verse in John. "The wind blows where it wishes and you hear the sound of it, but do not know where it comes from and where it is going; so is everyone who is born of the Spirit."--John 3:8 |

Dear Sister Val: I have through what little time I have been here come to know Doc, on and of this forum, as a man who would not defend himself, but only God's word. I believe too that he would not disparage a Sister, and was only, I think, expressing a desire to share with you. Shalom and God bless John |

1049 | Retain or forgive sins? | John 20:22 | stjohn | 204693 | ||
Hi Jim: I said He doesn't say but we may attribute to it too, a fulfillment of prophesy. Is 6:9 He said, "Go, and tell this people: 'Keep on listening, but do not perceive; Keep on looking, but do not understand.'" |

1050 | Retain or forgive sins? | John 20:22 | stjohn | 204692 | ||
Hi Jim: Well, you wrote, " He can do as He pleases" That says it in a nutshell my friend! In answer to your question, " WHY?" Well, He just doesn't say.... But Scripture nonetheless teaches it! |

1051 | Retain or forgive sins? | John 20:22 | stjohn | 204689 | ||
High accolades indeed for one of such lowly station as I! Wouldst thow swellith mine miserable head, beyond the grand measure it hath attained, by the deceitful pride of my unworthy heart? Never! Never I say! Oh, by the way.....Thanks Doc :-) Shalom and God bless John |

Jim: What you have posted ( i.e. the Scriptures) actually afford credibility to the fact the God is the one that has the power to hinder or not to hinder the thoughts and desires of the heart. He and He alone has that power. | ||||||

Sister Val: He once jested that when he got to heaven, he would ask God if he could teach Bible study for the first million years for all the saints that always found an excuse not to attend at his church. Well, when I get there, I'll ask, " Hey McGee, where do I sign up?" :-) Shalom and God bless John |

1056 | REV 11 The Temple stands yet destroyed | Rev 1:11 | stjohn | 204608 | ||
Hear is an answer: you say it is bad writing to speak laterally and then and something spiritual, well my friend that is exactly what you are doing by saying that the destruction of israel and His second coming has both happened, because you say that the destruction was literal but His Coming was spiritual: That my friend is pious nonsense! | ||||||

1058 | What is the theme or themes of Luke? | Luke 1:1 | stjohn | 204603 | ||
Lazy? I find that hard to believe! LOL you said: "I still intend to try to find an answer to your question about the word making one rejoice" If you follow that thread you will see that Sister Azure answered it perfectly, she gave me just what I was looking for, in Psalms. My Sister, you are stretching yourself thin, go easy Sis, we have eternity to get to know Him, and each-other! :-) |
||||||
1059 | What is the theme or themes of Luke? | Luke 1:1 | stjohn | 204599 | ||
oops! sorry, you had said that you had typed the word John and I assumed that was the gospel you meant. Luke emphasizes his humanity and his perfection as a man, the theme of salvation is also quite evident. if you want Scriptures you'll be putting me to task, I'm kinda tired: But if you insist then, how bout tamara, Tamara? Shalom John |
||||||
1060 | What is the theme or themes of Luke? | Luke 1:1 | stjohn | 204597 | ||
How bout: "The deity of Jesus Christ is the theme of the book. The Divine Sonship of Jesus is set forth in John more than in anywhere else in the New Testament." ... | ||||||
