Hi holydiver, Welcome to the forum! Can you show in Scripture please, where there are 'other', brides? Don't bother, Christ has but 'one', bride. The story goes, that there were 10 'virgins', not, brides. Matt 25:1 God bless John |

Hi Jesusman, I can see that you have a real zeal for God, and I applaud your courageous efforts to give out the Word to the lost. I think you are seeing all the tools in your box and trying to use them all as much as you can. Nothing wrong with that at all! That's a Good thing! Amen! I say, keep it Up! Just one thing though and I'll be done, for now, at least I think so. :-) I think what you are missing, (and you may not be, it may be just the way you are saying it) Is, in the end, that there is nothing, but nothing, but the Spirit of God, working through the, Word Of God, that can give faith to those He draws to Himself. Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word Of God. All the proof in the world stacked up to the moon, cannot save a soul unless God Has intervened in that persons spiritual life, and opened their eyes. Just look at all the people that were alive in the time of Christ, that saw, Him, in all his good works, and all His, wonderful miracles. They saw Him, raised from the dead, and some even tried to cover it up with lies, HIM, Jesus Christ, The Son Of God, who IS GOD, was with them, and still, they did not believe.... How much proof did they need? Proof can't save, only the Spirit of God working through the Word of God, can save a soul. You may think you see something else happening when you see someone get saved, but the Bible, says otherwise. By the way I employ the same things that you do, tools are good, and I use them whenever I can and wherever it seems proper, and with whom it seems proper. But all we do, always, depends on God, and wether He has chosen that person to be one of His elect. Well, anyway, thats it Brother, good to see you back. God bless John |

1225 | Who or what was sacrificed? | Judg 11:39 | stjohn | 199750 | ||
Ah Yeah, GB. I believe she was indeed dedicated to God, and, remained a virgin. And, I think I know what you mean by sacrificed spiritually, but, saying that may confuse some people, I don't know if we should put it quite that way, I may be incorrect but I wouldn't say it, in that way. Also, I'm a little, puzzled, by your post, If you'd been following along this thread, and it looks like you have been, why would you be correcting me? Thats pretty much what I've been saying all along. ??? | ||||||

Thanks, Dave, Do please, pray, and for all the others as well, I pray every day, at least I try to. She doesn't often allow me to talk about God, but seems to be softening as time goes by, and I continue to pray. God bless John |

Jesusman, :-) Welcome Back! God bless you Brother! You know, I agree with you more then you may know, but perhaps we will always have a different angle we see from. I have more I would like to say to you Brother Bruce, but I must go for now. Back later.......... God bless You, let us pray for all the saints, in all their efforts to, give out the Word Of God.

Hi GB, Well it looks like you have answered your own question(s). Glad to hear that you have a somewhat proper understanding of God's sovereignty. Sorry for the short answers, many come here to just cause problems and give grief. Again, I'm sorry for misunderstanding your intentions. Its ALL for His Glory! God bless John |

Sorry Brother, Hank. As you can see I'd already sensed our banter had gone too far. I'm very Sorry. I didn't mean to be disrespectful, I know that misrepresents what this forum is all about. :-( (1) It's not mentioned. (2) That would depend on what you think backsliding means to you, sense it's not mentioned in Scripture. (3) No they are not synonyms. The last question is pretty involved, and I don't want to answer off the cuff, but if you insist on taking me to task I will reply with an answer. God bless John |

Of course with me, you, and it is OK, Sister of mine, I hope your not offended, It's just very curious to me as to why. I guess I just can't understand it. No a problema mi amiga. :-) God bless John |

Hi Sis, Hmm, where in Scripture does it instruct us to erect fences to hedge against profaning His Name-?? And I dare say, if it's your conviction to do these things, then why would you be compromising? Compromising the instructions of God, now, I would think, that, would perhaps be, profane. :-o Just my two cents Sis. :-) Shalom, Cheri. God bless John |

Hello halroy, Very good post, well done. I don't agree. :-) Actually, and your probably surprised to hear (maybe not though) I've heard that old argument before. I'm sorry you went to the trouble, I didn't mean to take you to task. Good job though. Thank you too Brother. When we see Him, we will all agree! Amen? God bless John |

Hi Michael, Thanks for the response, it gives me a chance to clarify my position perhaps a bit more. Anyway I'll try my best. If I'm reading you correctly, and I must assume, as I've not been provided with commentary. (no problem though, if I'm off, forgive me, and we'll let it go to my doltishness) Is that you perhaps believe that this provides some proof that Jephthah had his daughter pass through the fire as a burnt offering? If We read the story of Jephthah in Judges 11, carefully, we can see quite plainly that he is a man of God, and NOT a pagan, and follower of the ways of Baal. Ezekiel 20 Is clearly referring to an ungodly line. God, through Ezekiel, is simply declaring His sovereignty over all things, good and evil. We can obviously get into the prophetic here but that really isn't the goal here. What we need to see is the heart of God for "His people" as reviled to us throughout Scripture, not just one or two verses, as seen in Ezekiel 20. This was a very evil time in the history of the nation Israel, and they were no better then any other pagan nation who would follow anything BUT God. Not to say of course, that the time of Judges was very much better, but that kind of depravity had not been sunk to, at least not by Jephthah. So it would seem that we are talking apples and oranges, or, should I say, wheat and tares. As a footnote, it's interesting that In Judges it is declared that, everyone did what was good in their own eyes. Sort of, just like today, it seems like everyone is doing their own thing, don't you think? There is certainly, no king in Israel! He, is at the right hand of The Father. God bless John |

Hi Brother halroy, Sense human sacrifice is abhorrent to, and, really goes against everything that the Bible teaches us about God's heart in such a matter, perhaps we should look elsewhere for the answer? I think because of what God has revealed about Himself, we really "have to" look,... elsewhere, don't we? I mean, our God, defender of the innocent, protector of children, not willing that any should perish, oh no, I'm of the opinion that her life was indeed sacrificed, but certainly NOT unto death. I think her life was indeed given to the Lord, but, the lamentation was because it was so important to women in that day (or any day really) to bare children, and she remained a virgin in dedication to God. Do we really want to believe that God would allow human sacrifice? Indeed, can we, believe such an abhorrent thing would be allowed by God? I don't think so. Just my two cents Brother. God bless John |
