First of all, NO ONE except Jesus CHrist has lived a blameless life Blameless doesn't mean sinless. |

22 | Scriptural support of your position? | Matt 28:18 | Ken hepting | 100352 | ||
You wrote: "Where there is no law sin [the penalty for being born in it] is NOT imputed." (Where does Scripture say this is so? pbs) Romans 5:13 (NASB-U) for until the Law sin was in the world, but sin is not imputed when there is no law. |

Rev. 20:12 (NASB-U) And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and books were opened; and another book was opened, which is the book of life; and the dead were judged from the things which were written in the books, according to their deeds. What book will your name be written in and why? |

24 | Those that live blameless will see Jesus | Matt 28:18 | Ken hepting | 100372 | ||
[Ken please elaborate with Scripture. Where does God's Word say that "Those that live blameless will see Jesus"? Isn't this a works based salvation?] Did Job ever see Jesus? |

John 15:22 (KJV) If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloke for their sin. John 15:24 (KJV) If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father. |

27 | God's or ours | Matt 28:18 | Ken hepting | 101308 | ||
Great question, Ray! I see, from scripture, that our soul is to be made perfect through sufferings/trials/temptations. The perfecting of our souls is OUR responsibility unto "sonship" with the Father. See 1 Pet...1 John. Our soul is to come into union with the Father's MIND and that through our perfect[ed] spirit by the work of Himself as you have stated. This is the work any born again believer needs to be about instead of wearing out his/her "dedicator" every Sunday in a "woe is me" contrition...And every preacher ought to be about preaching that it not be necessary if one gets on in the becoming unto God, that which He has purposed. |

29 | Why should we dedicate our baby? | Luke 2:27 | Ken hepting | 101533 | ||
I agree with the scripture and of course the reasons Hannah did what she did. The significance is rich behind her motives. It's a shame the Roman church messed all that up with the unnecessary so-called infant baptism thing. Hannah's deed is much more from love and less a deed from fear. If I loved the Lord dedication of my children would [was] definitely be in the mix of my life and love to God. |

30 | Purpose of this forum? | Luke 14:26 | Ken hepting | 101327 | ||
Not from my point of view. Your above letter is well worded and I ceratinly hear your heart beat in the matter. Rest assured God does, too. He desires His hearers to be real with Him and come away from "whitewash/plastic" salvation "protocol". If you are convinced of the saving grace of God through Christ my urging for you is to move on in Him; become as He has purposed, a son unto Him, that you share as a jointheir in all the things of Christ in that day. God's speed in your journey Ken |

31 | Christ and Christians? | Luke 14:26 | Ken hepting | 101535 | ||
[So, in this particular case, it would seem that the scriptures themselves support that God's methods change over time.] I don't believe that is an accurate conclusion. It's always been a "blood" demand with God. Why? Because life is in the blood. Corrupt the blood, corrupt the life. Give a transfusion of new pure blood and save it. |
||||||
32 | Ken, are you sure? | Luke 14:26 | Ken hepting | 101543 | ||
Sure. The above doesn't speak of standing in the presence of God but only being rescued or delivered. None of what you posted qualifies for reconcilation. Only innocent blood can stand in the presence of God and live. | ||||||
33 | Christ and Christians? | Luke 14:26 | Ken hepting | 101573 | ||
Are Christians on shakey ground when they claim to believe in Jesus Christ but either limit or dismiss some of His teachings? I am not questioning Christ's person at this point. But I am curious to what extent I can call myself a Christian if I disregard the clear teachings of the one I claim to follow.......seeking4truth Did you follow this one: John 3:7 (NASB) "...... 'You must be born again.' |

35 | Luke, Jesus, and the good theif | Luke 23:40 | Ken hepting | 100629 | ||
[Why did Jesus tell the good theif that He would see him in Heaven "that day" whe in the Apostle's Creed we say that Jesus "decended to the dead" for three days. Jesus was resurrcted on the third day and stayed for 50 more before ascending into Heaven. How do you reconcile those two staements?] Jesus didn't go the Heaven but to paradise and set the captives free. Paradise--The good side of hell where there is no terror or torment. A place where the righteous/blameless went when they died because they died in their [Adamic] sin since Jesus had not yet died on the cross that they could enter Heaven. |

38 | Please explain | John 3:3 | Ken hepting | 91198 | ||
"Romans 12:2 says that the will of God is "good, and acceptable, and perfect". It was the will of the Father for Jesus to live the life He lived. Jesus said that he did not speak His Own words, but only what the Father gave Him." This all is so as you have presented it. Now place yourself IN Jesus and the whole thing becomes you. You say, "but I don't know God's will perfectly". Let me explain. His perfect will for us, as the redeemed of the Lord, is to become as Jesus, the MAN. We should all be saying as Jesus, the BOY, "I must be about my Father's business". The "process" of becoming is what we all should be about and that's what a good Spirit filled church should about doing.i.e, caring as a mother to bring about those son's and daughter's God is after to fill His kingdom for Jesus' sake. Where we are individually in the process is not the issue, however to encourage for one another should be one. The "kingdom of God suffers violence and the violent TAKE IT by FORCE". In others words it is a warfare, one that is mostly with our "self" that doesn't like hanging on a cross and dying. All that I just posted isn't for evangelizing except Jesus said "make disciples of all nations". We Christians, by and large, haven't done that. We don't know much about that part of it. We drop them off at the cross and leave them there with "12 twelve self-improvement" program and say 'find a church and get involved'. Then the church burns them out with their social activities all supposedly "Holy Spirit" inspired.. "I am curious as to what prompted your reasoning here. Your knowledge of the scriptures includes, I'm sure, that Christ had to keep the law for our sakes because of our inabaility to do so. It was the Father's plan for Him" He kept God's intended law that the Jews distorted. But that I believe you understand. So we can rightly say He didn't ever break God's Law. I agree. But now that is something we must be about also, don't you think? The priviledge for us however, is that God's law is now found in Christ. Keep Christ and you keep God's law "for there is no condemnation for those who are in Him". If we fail and sin we have an advocate with the Father, Christ Jesus. This without the need to shed blood as the Jews must/needed to do. His perfect blood, the "Perfect Lamb of God" was shed once and for all. Now we can enter in, receive from Him, and get on with becoming unto Him a vast family as He purposed for to become. "When you say "go straight to the cross", are you inplying that as an infant, Christ could have suffered and died, or are you saying that He didn't even need to be born? What are you saying?" Let me ask you: If perfect blood was all it was about for the remission of our sins, which it was, then why didn't Jesus go straight to the cross? He was that perfect blood sacrifice from the beginning. The word "Lamd" connotes innocence, purit, and YOUTH/BABY. For that matter you could ask why did God wait so long in sending Him to be that sacrifice? Why didn't He do it right after Adam sinned? Obviously there is more to it than redemption. Jesus tells us in His word through the Gospels that Paul is given to explain in more detail. Jesus said He/God would send another comforter who would take the things of the Father and reveal them to us as the Father revealed them to Jesus, the man..That other comforter being the Holy Spirit. Great questions, 4givn. I hope I've helped with what I've posted....Ken |

39 | Supposed to "DO" something? | John 3:3 | Ken hepting | 91316 | ||
Earning salvation can't be done, so rest easy. I'm not saying that. I never have in this forum. By faith, my faith in Him, I am saved. BTW, that's the exstent of my faith. Now something happens: The righteousness of Christ for salvation is gifted, IMPUTED to me, that saves me. He saved me in the condition He found me but having said that He doesn't want to leave me that way. Now I have choice to make; to be born again and embrace the Great commandment or give so much lip service to Christ on Sunday and stay in 'self'. To begin to know God as Father or, just God. If I begin my walk in Grace and learn to live by THE FAITH of CHRIST and not my own, He IMPARTS, no gift here, to me His righteousness which reveals the MIND of the Father to me that brings me to "sonship" with the Father. Now that I am "in the WAY" I am enabled to see His kingdom and view the world from His perspective. If you need scripture for this c'mon back. |

40 | Supposed to "DO" something? | John 3:3 | Ken hepting | 91322 | ||
I have started looking for your replies throughout this thread and I must say you have some very interesting thoughts. Are you saying that we must EARN our salvation? No, I am not. ----------------------------------- My take on this passage is that anyone who is saved will automatically walk in the good works prepared beforehand, with the understanding that we are "God's workmanship". Therefore if WE are HIS work, then that supports what He also said about HIM being "faithful to complete the good work He began" in us. But that work begins when and if we live by the FAITH of Christ; an impartation of Himself that enables us with vision, purpose and power to accomplish God's plan for us, which is to become a son. ----------------------------- Also, our salvation comes by faith through grace, not of ourselves, "not of works". It is God's "GIFT". True but that's our faith you speak of and not the faith of Christ. My part in the thing is to keep my faith IN Him. By I don't live by my faith, I live by His. His faith is the only FAITH that pleases God and produces the good works that testify to His Character.. My faith comes from hearing His word and takes me to Him for salvation then His Faith comes into me for kingdom living and becoming someone Father can be proud of.. --------------------------------------- The very idea of a "gift" is that it is received. Now if we receive that gift, then what is there to do besides that, because if there is anything ELSE to do it no longer becomes a "gift", and it becomes something else. The example I like to use is the woman withthe issue of Blood who had HER faith developed to the point where she believed Jesus could/would heal her. In her desperation she sought Him out and He did. He said "YOUR faith has made you whole". What He really said was "Your faith brought you to me and was rewarded by me for your healing". We don't knpw what happened after that but her being made whole typifies the way man gets the "free gift"....by coming in faith, believing He will save me. |
