164 | What should occur after accepting Christ | Acts 10:38 | ebrain | 187358 | ||
When Jesus came to earth some 2000 years ago, He not only came to offer Himself as a sinless sacrifice to pay for our sins, and thus enable God to forgive as many as will accept this fact. but also to demonstrate by His life just how we humans were, and are intended by our Father God to behave towards He who made us in His own image. By His life, I mean the attitude of (Not My will, but thine be done) that Jesus continually adopted towards His Father, thus enabling the Father who indwelt the Son, see Jhn 14:10 "Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works. The Father communicates Himself through the body of the man Jesus to all people with whom He came into contact at that time, and through Scripture now to us. This is the reason why you, if you are a Christian are indwelt by the Holy Spirit, in order that you might allow the other resident within yourself to have right of way in your life, and to do just what He wants to do in and through you. Remember Jesus said, "He who has seen me has seen the Father", Jhn 14:7 "If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; and from now on you know Him and have seen Him." not that the Father is a human being, Jesus is here referring to conduct and behavior, what He the Father did, and what He said, see Jhn 1:18 No one has seen God at any time. The only begotten Son,* who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him. Jesus also said, Jhn 15:3 "You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. Jhn 15:4 "Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. Jhn 15:5 "I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. Note "without Me you can do nothing" Why do you suppose that Paul said Gal 2:20 "I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me. Phl 1:21 For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain Col 1:27 To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which* is Christ in you, the hope of glory. Gal 4:19 My little children, for whom I labor in birth again until Christ is formed in you, There is only one person in this whole universe who can live the Christian life to perfection,,, that person lives inside you, and that's why Jesus said what He said at, John 5:19. John 5:30, John 11:41b - 42, John 14:7-10. Ask Him in prayer, why He did things this way, and He will tell you as He told me many years ago, "Because it's the only way you can do it". ebrain. |

165 | Was it a man after God's own heart | Acts 13:22 | ebrain | 165889 | ||
Because the Lord God knew that David would in due time repent,for what he had done, and this is shown to be the case as Psalm 51 reveals. Raeading Psalm 51 shows us that no matter how much we have sinned, it is never so great that God will not forgive the truly repentant sinner. I know, He forgave me, I was almost 30 years old, and you can have no idea of the enormity of my sin, before He saved me. I thought "I had gone too far, and had done too much that I knew to be wrong for God to forgive me", however, He showed me that despite the enormity of my sin, He still loved me, and I was unable to resist any longer, and was overjoyed to receive His salvation. |

166 | Do evil spirits posses people today? | Acts 19:15 | ebrain | 164625 | ||
Yes they do, but why are you asking this question? The Word of God forbids anyone from dealing with evil spirits, and it would not do this, if it were not possible for people to contact them. |
||||||
167 | will they go to hell? | Rom 2:7 | ebrain | 171361 | ||
Have a look at Romans Ch 2 vs 4-9, but especially vs 6-7, Also note what is said at Acts ch 10 vs 1-5, you may find that this helps to deal with your question. | ||||||
168 | Can a murderer go to heaven? | Rom 3:23 | ebrain | 188546 | ||
In addition to the excellent answer given by BradK, here are some further thoughts. Entry into heaven is dependant on sins being forgiven, and all sins (including murder) can be forgiven, because there is only one sin that will not be forgiven, see below. Matt 12:31 "Therefore I say to you, any sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven people, but blasphemy against the Spirit shall not be forgiven. Matt 12:32 "Whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man, it shall be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, either in this age or in the age to come. ebrain. |

169 | I want to know the way to practise love. | Rom 5:5 | ebrain | 173637 | ||
Only the Holy Spirit can love in the way required at Leviticus 19:18,and then only as you allow Him to do so, see Rom 5:5, also John 5:30, and John 14 10. | ||||||
170 | Does Sin mean the same in Old and New | Rom 5:14 | ebrain | 163474 | ||
Yes it does, what reason do you have for thinking that there might be any difference? | ||||||
171 | How is Adam's sin different? | Rom 5:14 | ebrain | 174067 | ||
What follows is speculation, but it might be of some help. We are told at 1st Tim 2:13-15, that it was only the woman who was deceived, and that Adam knew full well just what he was intending to do. Jesus we are told, knew no sin, but allowed himself to be made sin in order to save His bride, that is you and I. It is not, in my considered opinion impossible that Adam might just have done the same to save his wife Eve. Note he did not go to the tree as Eve did, but took the fruit from her, i.e. he in type took her sin on himself This is what I think Paul had in mind at Romans 5:14.

173 | What does 'Once for all' mean? | Rom 6:10 | ebrain | 160268 | ||
The death of the infinate, has more power than the sins of the finite. This death therefore does not need to be repeated, once is enough. | ||||||

176 | DID JESUS EVER DIE? HE WAS GOD | Rom 8:11 | ebrain | 183456 | ||
Jhn 4:24 "God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth." Hbr 10:5 Therefore, when He came into the world, He said: "Sacrifice and offering You did not desire, But a body You have prepared for Me. Hbr 10:6 In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin You had no pleasure. Hbr 10:7 Then I said, 'Behold, I have come--In the volume of the book it is written of Me--To do Your will, O God.'"* In order for God who is spirit, to be able to offer Himself as an acceptable sacrifice, He had to make for Himself a body in which to dwell, so that He could experience for all of us who are saved, the indescribable agony of death by crucifixion. See Psalm 22:1-18, and Isaiah 52:13 to 53:12. |

177 | Christians with demon oppression | Rom 8:16 | ebrain | 166509 | ||
A christian is indwelt by the Holy Spirit, and it is therefore impossible to be demon possesed at the same time. The question is, is this person a true born again beliver, James when speaking to christians says in Ch 1 v 14, that it is your own desires that lure, and entice you, and not God, a demon, or anyone else. What can be done. well Prayer to start with, that is fervant earnest believing Prayer. You will find Mark 11:24, with 1st John 5:14, helpfull in this respect. May the Lord bless you, and all thoes for whom you pray. |

Someone who interceeds, speaks on your behalf, see Romans 8:26. | ||||||
179 | Questions friend has asked | Rom 8:29 | ebrain | 162101 | ||
Conversion to accepting God at His word is due entirely to direct Divine intervention into the life of the person concerened, and has nothing whatsoever to do with human debate using logic, and reason. See also Mat 16:17, "flesh and blood has not revealed it to you,but my Father who is in heaven", and 1st Cor 2:14, "The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned". |
||||||
180 | Free will and predestination co-exist? | Rom 8:29 | ebrain | 178250 | ||
The passage of Scripture you refer to indicates that it is by His "foreknowledge", that He predestined us to be saved. What we are not told is the exact nature of His foreknowledge, Could it be I wonder that He knows in advance just how each individual will respond, when exposed to the Gospel? , and therefore only those who He knows will respond positivelyare predestined to be saved?. I have more to say on this, but would like to see what others think first. ebrain |
