Hi Val-.. Can you please clear something up for me? You Wrote: "I have been criticized by someone because they said its wrong to say the Lord's Prayer on a regular basis, that its not from the heart" My Question is: Who is it that says that about the Lord's prayer? Was it that someone? or, The folks at the Church you mentioned? That said it was wrong to say the Lords prayer..... Thanks Val, John |

Hi Sister Val... I sure wouldn't judge anyone for using that prayer! I happen to really love that prayer, it speaks volumes, and just shows us how wonderfully He could say so much, with so few words. Pray it with all confidence my dear Sister! Let us pray for your sisters understanding, and that she should Look at her own heart, and not the hearts of others. May God bless you and your Bible study group. Keep sharing, Sister, Val... Shalom and God bless John |

1503 | Rejection means never knew? | Eph 4:3 | stjohn | 206101 | ||
HI Andy... I think we can safely assume that, Judas Iscariot knew Jesus Christ more intimately then the false prophets that Peter was warning us about. He knew the truth very well indeed. Would you say he had been born again to salvation and then rejected it? Or did he just profess to know the truth? Those false prophets probably never knew the truth past their heads, and it never really got to their hearts where it could have done some good. I think I'd have to say they were never really saved. There is far to much Scripture to show us this is the case. It would be hard to hold up under the, Whole counsel of Scripture, that they lost their Salvation. Once you are born again, you are indeed born again. sólamente mi dos centavos, (Just my two cents) John |

1504 | Rejection means never knew? | Eph 4:3 | stjohn | 206110 | ||
Amen Brother, Lionheart.... Perseverance, self-control, Brotherly-Kindness, Godliness, etc... 1 Peter Ch 3 indeed does give us pause to look closely at ourselves, to see if these fruits of the spirit are visible, all leading to the "Christ-likeness" we see in Phillipians Ch 2. 1 Cor Ch 3 also is a good place to look for encouragement, and also to see what may happen if we don't, "walk the walk", especially Ch 15, Ouch! :-) Thank Brother! God bless John |

1508 | no physical death? not sinners? | Eph 4:9 | stjohn | 184174 | ||
Hi PDAL; What can I say? 1st John 1:8-10 v,8 If we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us. v,9, If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. v,10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar and His word is not in us. Please forgive me brother. But, to say we are without sin is nothing more then, "arrogant, cocky, Christianity!" This problem (pride) has been around sense the beginning of time, (as we know it.) RIGHTEOUSNESS is something we wear like a robe. And a beautiful robe it is to. Praise be to Jesus Christ! RIGHTEOUSNESS I is not IN us, it is ON us, if you please. It's something that our Lord Jesus Christ; the ONLY sinless one has so graciously lent to us. Good grief man! Just take a look around you! Can you honestly say, that you don't see sin in God's Church? May I suggest; you take a closer look at your own heart as well. And if you cant, or wont; then ask God to do it for you; like David did! A man after God's heart, by the way! And I am not judging you! Although I am tempted. If I were to say, that I am without sin, I would consider it noting more then; (PIOUS NONSENSE!)! lets get real; please. God's word is real; and IT does not; and HE does not; mess around with pride! Keep searching my friend, I am confidant, that you will find the truth; whether you pick it up, is up to you. God's peace stj |

1509 | no physical death? not sinners? | Eph 4:9 | stjohn | 184230 | ||
Hi PDAL: First of all, I pray you accept my apology for my crassness, and condescending response. Thank you, for your patient and thoughtful one. I think, I do now, know what you mean, and correct me if I am wrong, please. It appears that your definition of sinner is the same as unsaved, if that is so, I concur, (I'm not sure that webster would see it that way) but the way you put it I agree, wholeheartedly i.e. spiritually, and, mindfully too, if I may. And, I agree when you say, Paul, in the verses you refer to is talking about the spirt, and, that we, having accepted Christ as our savior, are born again in that spirt i.e. we have a NEW SPIRT! amen. And, that we are being transformed, i.e. an ongoing process of renewing our minds, agreed. However; and once again, my apologies for not saying this before, as this really is my point, When the world, the unsaved, unbelieving, sinners, hear a Christian say something like I AM NOT A SINNER! (and they will be using webster's definition, by the way.) they see a pompous pious hypocrite. As you said yourself, we're not saying that we don't sin. I think what we are saying is, we don't want to associate ourselves as sinners, I cant agree more. So; maybe we don't see what they see, but that is what they see. And believe me, I know, I don't know about you, but I spent the better part of 50 years as an unsaved, unbelieving, sinner. And brother if we are to sow seeds of God's salvation in the hearts of sinners, so the Spirt of God can grace them with faith once having heard the massage. Well; we need to be careful thats all; If they see us as lyers: Why should they believe us? May God's peace bless you always. stj |
