You are welcome, Keliy. Sir, brother, I hope you don't feel as though we are picking on you, but if you would please as brother Hank suggested and in deference to your source, and those reading along. Could you take this opportunity to credit that source with, reference to the post number? There are many that come here to just read along, so it's easy to forget that so many may read our posts. It's really very important to show all that may read along a strong Christian character; So wont you join us in the fray, Keliy, to thwart any indication of flaws in that Christian character? We all know full well that none of us is even remotely close to perfect, but lets put on our best for the world to see; okay? :-) Thanks brother Keliy. God bless John |

Dear Newwine: I'm terribly sorry you have not taken my admonishment in the spirit it was given, in that, we need to be ever so careful when instructing others. As I have stated, there are many others that read along at this site, and to say something that is not true is unacceptable. If we were in person, in some chartroom, or communicating via personal email, perhaps it wouldn't make so much difference, but here it is different, here there many, many others that read along. When any of us sees someone posting false information we all should take a stand for truth and correct the problem, which is evidently what you thought you were doing, and I'm not faulting your motive, but in regard your statement that, --"Paul was not a disciple of Christ, as Luke was, Paul was a Pharisee, then on his way to Damascus, he was knocked off his horse, and Effectively DRAFTED into the Service of God."-- Disciple: A scholar, sometimes applied to the followers of John the Baptist (Matthew 9:14), and of the Pharisees (22:16), but principally to the followers of Christ. A disciple of Christ is one who (1) believes his doctrine, (2) rests on his sacrifice, (3) imbibes his spirit, and (4) imitates his example (Matthew 10:24; Luke 14:26, 27, 33; John 6:69).--Easton's Bible Dictionary First of all, as we can see, Paul was a disciple, then, after a while as a disciple he was also called an Apostle, but by definition he never stopped being a disciple. Being knocked off a horse, doesn't make a difference as to whether he was or was not a disciple. Everyone who follows Christ whether we had seen Him in the flesh or not is a disciple. We are all in a sense drafted into His service no matter how He deals with us individually; I too was knocked off my horse, my "high horse" indeed the Lord dealt with me very harshly, as He does with many a stubborn child. He doesn't need to be so necessarily harsh with others, though nonetheless, induction into His service is His doing and His doing alone, so in a sense we are all drafted. Newwine it is not my intent to offend but to instruct in true accurate information to the best of my God given ability. Wont you join me please in taking our study to the high level demanded by our Lord and God, not to mention our gracious host, The Lockman Foundation? Who's (Terms of Use) we all agreed to when we registered to this site. No one is a lone ranger in the service of God, and we need to give credence to and respect what others (who are also as filled with the Spirit as we are by the way) are trying to teach us, (in regard to user profile) no matter when they lived, whether it was the first century to the eighteenth century, and on into this very day. Heb 12:8 But if you are without discipline, of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate children and not sons. God bless John |

1145 | The call | Acts 17:11 | stjohn | 200670 | ||
“The call is watch, study, attended to reading. In truth you cannot read too much in scripture, and what you read, you cannot read too carefully, and what you read carefully you cannot understand too well, and what you understand well you cannot teach too well, and what you teach, well, you cannot live too well. Therefore dear Sirs pray, study, be diligent.” Martin Luther |

1147 | Cain's wife is from who? | Acts 17:26 | stjohn | 223606 | ||
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the waters. Then God said, "Let there be light"; and there was light. God saw that the light was good; and God separated the light from the darkness. God called the light day, and the darkness He called night. And there was evening and there was morning, one day. Genesis 1:1-5 My Dear sir, you cannot possibly be serious. How anyone can read that and not see it as some of the most simply and beautifully written words the word has ever seen is beyond me. Literary scholars the world over marvel and wonder at its beauty and simplicity. How it is, sir, that you don't see that, is really quite sad.-John |

1151 | Why did Paul do it? For conscience sake? | Acts 21:23 | stjohn | 218070 | ||
Sigh... Thats the sound I make, when someone falls under the -sour wine- spell of legalism. John 19:30; Matthew 27:51 So, are you saying it's posable that Christ's sacrifice, was not sufficient to put an end to the sacrificial system? Are you saying that would make sense? Why is it called a 'new' covenant, if the old is still in binding? It seems we can make our own sense of things, out of just about anything, if we want to. But why on earth, would we want to? John With all due respect. |

Dear Azure, and Doc, If only it were that easy to do. Sometimes it works well, but sometimes those involved, still want to just sweep problems under the metaphorical rug. Many just don't want to deal with problems, and think if we don't confront them, they will magically go away. But, they don't. Heb 12:8 seems to fit in there pretty well. :-( Thankfully -praise God!- my Pastor tries to do things, by the Book, (i.e. the Bible) and he's even asked me to go along with him when someone needed to be lovingly and scripturally confronted because of an obvious transgression. We've been studying and trying to follow the scriptural guidelines for Church health explained in a very clear comprehensive way by Dr. Mark Dever in his book, 9Marks of a healthy Church. Very good stuff! Doc, by the way I've got the book you recommended, How to read the Bible for all its worth. I'll let you know what I think when I'm finished with it. But don't hold your breath, Doc, I've got a few others to finish first and I don't read very fast. Seems like lately though, I don't do much of anything very fast. Except maybe fall to sleep. :-) John |

"Christ's sacrifice puts an end to the need for sin sacrifice in the world to come as Hebrews teaches." (sic) So are we to be sacrificing lambs? Since the "world to come" is obviously in future. Thence, if we are to be obeying the law -and not a jot or title is to be left out- how are the lambs doing in your neighborhood? :-) Sorry, MJH, I couldn't resist, you don't have to answer, and we really don't need to revisit this same old tired debate. Shalom John |

1154 | Why did Paul do it? For conscience sake? | Acts 21:23 | stjohn | 218085 | ||
:-) No problem... friend. :-) No need to apologize in the first place, MJH, that's why I didn't acknowledge it, sorry for that. You say you do the best you can? But the word of God says that isn't good enough when it comes to the law. Gal 3:10-13 John p.s. If it weren't for spell check, I wouldn't have known. :-) |

1155 | Why did Paul do it? For conscience sake? | Acts 21:23 | stjohn | 218088 | ||
note: So that there is no misunderstanding to all involved in this thread. When I said no need to apologize, I've meant from where I sit alone, and not at all speaking for others. I was not offended, seeing the levity intended, though not well thought through and sorely misplaced. But if there is some twinge of conscience, which is, indeed apparent, then I'd hope that the one offended would be the one confessed and apologized to, i.e. God. Psalm 51:4 Shalom John |

Dear Keliy, It is not only customary, but is also "required" to enclose copied postings with "quotation marks" and to site the source from which you excerpted the text. Otherwise it is called plagiarism; thats another word for steeling, which as you know, is a sin. It also gives the distinct impression that your intellectual and literary prowess is greater then it really is, and is an obvious expression of pride, which as you know, is a sin. This also may even put our gracious host in judicial jeopardy due to copyright infringement. Let us please show respect for Lockman, other posters, ourselves, and especially, the God we humbly serve, by giving out honest and transparent postings. Thank you. John |

Dear Keliy: Thank you so much! Of course you are forgiven! May I say, Sir, we all need forgiveness from time to time, but can be assured that we have already received it in spades from the lovely folks here at SBF, who have given this poor sinner much latitude for my all too human attitude. :-) May the Lord bless you my friend and may you continue to bless us hear at SBF. I for one greatly appreciate your hard work in your contributing to this wonderful site. Have a Happy Thanksgiving! God bless John |
