Dear galbro, You may be "aware" of the website, but you obviously have not taken the course. I can do nothing better, therefore, then commend you to actually taking the course on sexual purity. You would then receive the proper Biblical instruction regarding the importance of moral purity in the Christian's life. However, if you need a few explicit passages of Scripture, I will offer them: Exodus 20:14; Job 31:1; Matthew 5:28; Mark 7:20-23; Acts 15:29; Romans 1:26-32; 12:1; 13:13-14; 1 Corinthians 6:9-11, 18-20; 10:8; Galatians 5:19-21; Ephesians 4:17; 5:3, 21; Colossians 3:5-11; 1 Thessalonians 4:3-5; 2 Timothy 3:1-7; Titus 2:12; 3:3; James 3:13-4:10; Jude 7; 1 Peter 4:1-4; Revelation 21:8; 22:15. ...and these are but few of them!

4483 | ungodly relationship | Titus 2:12 | DocTrinsograce | 200657 | ||
Hi, thabang... Welcome to the forum! There are two possibilities: 1. Separate right now. 2. Marry right now. In the old days we used to talk about "When are you going to make an honest woman of her?" or "When are you going to make an honest man of him?" You see, imperatives arise out of indicatives. Consequently, marriage (an indicative) results in marital relationships and behaviors (the imperatives). Out of the truth of being married, couples engage in and benefits of being married, and produce the fruit of being married. When people act married when they are not married at all, then they are being dishonest. It is sin. Sin will always yield the same crop. In Him, Doc |

4484 | Definition and examples of good deeds | Titus 2:14 | DocTrinsograce | 237488 | ||
"Now, I dare say we shall offend many here when we tell them what good works are; for in our opinion good works are the rarest things in the world, and we believe we might walk for many a mile before we should see a good work at all. We use the word good now in its proper sense. There are many works which are good enough between man and man, but we shall use the word good in a higher sense to-day as regards God. We think we shall be able to show you that there are very few good works anywhere, and that there are none out of the pale of Christ's church. We think, if we read Scripture rightly, that no work can be good unless it is commanded of God. How this cuts off a large portion of what men will do in order to win salvation! The Pharisee said he tithed mint, anise, and cummin; could he prove that God commanded him to tithe his mint, his anise, and his cummin? Perhaps not. He said he fasted so many times a week; could he prove that God told him to fast? If not, his fasting was no obedience. If I do a thing that I am not commanded to do, I do not obey in doing it. Vain, then, are all the pretences of men, that by mortifying their bodies, by denying their flesh, by doing this, that, or the other, they shall therefore win the favour of God. No work is good unless God has commanded it. A man may build a long row of almshouses, but if he build without reference to the commandment, he has performed no good work." --Charles Hadon Spurgeon (March 16, 1856) See the entire sermon on good words (deeds): http://www.spurgeon.org/sermons/0070.htm |

4486 | Baptism-complete submersion-Ear problems | Titus 3:5 | DocTrinsograce | 177817 | ||
Dear Kim, Welcome to the forum! Baptism is not necessary for salvation -- it is a human work, and we are not saved by works (Titus 3:5). Baptism is the initiatory sign and seal into the covenant -- a proclamation to the world of the internal change that God has wrought. Circumcision referred to the cutting away of sin and to a change of heart (Deuteronomy 10:16; 30:6; Jeremiah 4:4; 9:25, 26; Ezekiel 44:7, 9). In the same way baptism symbolizes the washing away of sin (Acts 2:38; 1 Peter 3:21; Titus 3:5). It represents spiritual renewal (Romans 6:4; Colossians 2:11-12). The circumcision of the heart is symbolized by the circumcision of the flesh: baptism (Colossians 2:11-12). Do not be concerned for your father in respect to his baptism or lack thereof. We in the forum will be praying for both of you. In Him, Doc |

Hi, IGO... Since we cannot query the author of Hebrews himself, we are left to inference. I would suggest, therefore, that the author considered the Septuagint authorative and that his readers would do so as well. That presupposition of the authority of the Septuagint should raise our own comfort level with regarding the accuracy of that translation. In Him, Doc |

"Take courage! It is I. Don't be afraid." Mark 6:50 "Mark how our Lord sees the troubles of His believing people, and in due time will help them. "We read that when 'the ship was in the midst of the sea, and He was alone on the land,' He 'saw His disciples toiling in rowing,' came to them walking on the sea; cheered them with the gracious words, 'Take courage! It is I. Don't be afraid,' and changed the storm into a calm. "There are thoughts of comfort here for all true believers. Wherever they may be, or whatever their circumstances, the Lord Jesus sees them! "Alone, or in company; in sickness or in health; by sea or by land; in perils in the city; in perils in the wilderness the same eye which saw the disciples tossed on the lake, is ever looking at us! "We are never beyond the reach of His care! "Our way is never hidden from Him! "He knows the path that we take, and is still able to help. He may not come to our aid at the time we like best, but He will never allow us utterly to fail. "He who walked upon the water never changes! "He will always come at the right time to uphold His people. Though He tarry, let us wait patiently. "Jesus sees us, and will not forsake us." --J. C. Ryle |

"I will NEVER leave you nor forsake you" Hebrews 13:5 "Let every believer grasp these words and store them up in his heart. "Keep them ready, and have them fresh in your memory; you will need them one day. "The Philistines will be upon you, the hand of sickness will lay you low, the king of terrors will draw near, the valley of the shadow of death will open up before your eyes. "Then comes the hour when you will find nothing so comforting as a text like this, nothing so cheering as a real sense of God's companionship. "Stick to that word, 'never'. It is worth its weight in gold. Cling to it as a drowning man clings to a rope. Grasp it firmly, as a soldier attacked on all sides grasps his sword. God has said, and He will stand to it, 'I will never leave you, nor forsake you.' "NEVER! Though YOUR HEART be often faint, and you are sick of self, and your many failures and infirmities overwhelm you -- even then the promise will not fail. "NEVER! Though THE DEVIL whispers, 'I shall have you at last; yet a little time and your faith will fail, and you will be mine.' Even then the Word of God will stand. "NEVER! When the cold chill of DEATH is creeping over you, and friends can do no more, and you are starting on that journey from which there is no return -- even then Christ will not forsake you. "NEVER! When the day of JUDGMENT comes, and the books are opened, and the dead are rising from their graves, and eternity is beginning- even then the promise will bear all your weight; Christ will not leave His hold on your soul. "Oh believing reader, trust in the Lord for ever, for He says, 'I will never leave you.' "Lean back all your weight upon Him, do not be afraid. Glory in His promise. Rejoice in the strength of your consolation. "You may say boldly, 'The Lord is my Helper, I will not fear.'" --J. C. Ryle |

4497 | Is this important to me today? | Hebrews | DocTrinsograce | 207034 | ||
Hi, catfish3... There are any number of answers to your question. Here are a few that come immediately to mind: First of all, don't think in terms of particular passages being "important to us today." That springs from the teachings of dispensationalism. We live by every word of God. Consequently, God thought it was important to reveal to us. Look for the reasons within the context. Second, we need a high priest who can intercede for us to God. Jesus Christ is that high priest, and forever more shall be our high priest. It is important for us to understand that role. Third, there is no remission of sins without the shedding of blood. Hebrews is a commentary on Leviticus. Jesus perfectly fulfills every aspect of the sacrifices prescribed in the Law. In Him, Doc |

4498 | Hebrews 6:4-6 and salvation | Hebrews | DocTrinsograce | 237398 | ||
Hi, Darryl... Welcome to the forum! The following might be helpful: As A. W. Pink began the exposition of this passage: "The passage which is now to occupy our attention is one of the most solemn in the Hebrews’ epistle, yea, to be met with anywhere in the New Testament. Probably few regenerate souls have read it thoughtfully without being moved to fear and trembling. Careless professors have frequently been rendered uneasy in conscience as they have heard its awe-inspiring language. It speaks of a class of persons who had been highly privileged, who had been singularly favored, but who, so far from having improved their opportunities, had wretchedly perverted them; who had brought shame and reproach on the cause of Christ; and who were in such a hopeless condition that it was 'impossible to renew them again unto repentance.' Well does it become each one of us to earnestly lift up his heart to God, beseeching Him to prevent us making such a shipwreck of the faith." Read the entire exposition here: http://www.pbministries.org/books/pink/Hebrews/hebrews_024.htm In Him, Doc |

4500 | Do I have this right? | Heb 1:1 | DocTrinsograce | 163538 | ||
Hi, Russ... I've struggled with dispensationalism on the one hand and covenant theology on the other. I've tended to lean to the covenant side. God's use of covenants in Scripture is pretty clear. Contrawise, we do find the dispensational concept of "economies" in the Word, although less frequently than covenantal language. In theological circles folks are now talking about something called "new covenant theology." It seems to be a blending of the other two perspectives. A harmonization of the viewpoints would appear to more accurately reflect the notions expressed by the Scriptures. You might want to look into all three schools of thought in your study of this topic. In Him, Doc |
