2941 | Who needs to repent? | 2 Pet 3:9 | kalos | 32059 | ||
2 Peter 3:9 NASB The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance. In this verse, please note the use of the words "any" and "all." Regardless of who Peter is addressing, the fact remains: It is The Lord who is "not wishing for ANY to perish but for ALL to come to repentance." |

2942 | Why does Jesus come as a thief? | 2 Pet 3:10 | kalos | 188162 | ||
On The Same Day 'When does the wrath of God begin?' 'By Rev. Roger Best __________ "In the Olivet Discourse (Matthew 24) and in Luke 17 Jesus tells us that His coming will be like it was in the days of Noah and Lot. The same day that Noah and his family entered the ark (Gen 7:11-13) the rains came, and as Lot retreated from Sodom and Gomorrah judgment came. That same pattern of timing will occur when Christ returns for us; we will be taken and then judgment - the wrath of God - will come upon the earth." __________ 'This is a vital question since we as believers are promised deliverance from God's wrath. In 1 Thessalonians 1:10 we are told "to wait for His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead, that is Jesus, who delivers us from the wrath to come." And again in 1 Thessalonians 5:9, "For God has not destined us for wrath, but for obtaining salvation (deliverance) through our Lord Jesus Christ." In the Olivet Discourse (Matthew 24) and in Luke 17 Jesus tells us that His coming will be like it was in the days of Noah and Lot. The same day that Noah and his family entered the ark (Gen 7:11-13) the rains came, and as Lot retreated from Sodom and Gomorrah judgment came. That same pattern of timing will occur when Christ returns for us; we will be taken and then judgment - the wrath of God - will come upon the earth. 'The period of the wrath of God is spoken of in Scripture as "The Day of the Lord." In Amos 5:20 the day of the Lord is spoken of as a day of darkness and gloom. In Zephaniah 1:14-15 it says, "Near is the great day of the Lord, near and coming very quickly; listen, the day of the Lord! In it the warrior cries out bitterly. A day of wrath is that day, a day of trouble and distress, a day of destruction and desolation, a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and thick darkness." The day of the Lord is the day of God's wrath. 'In 1 Thessalonians 5 the Apostle Paul writes that to the believer the day of the Lord will not come like a thief in the night; in fact, the admonition is to be alert and serious. Then in 2 Thessalonians 2 Paul says that the day of the Lord will not come until "the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, who opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, displaying himself as being God" (2 Thessalonians 2:3b - 4). Now with that in mind, we go to Matthew 24 and see in verses 22, 29, 30, and 31 that Christ cuts the persecution of Antichrist short with His coming for the saints. The disciples had asked, "What is the sign of your coming and the end of the age?" (v. 3), and Jesus explains what will take place. The sign of His coming is the heavens lighting up like lightning, and the sign of the end of the age is the cosmic disturbance that results in the sun, moon, and stars going dark. We see this occurrence at the sixth seal in Revelation 6 and see that it fits exactly with what Joel 2:31 says: "The sun will be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and awesome day of the Lord comes." 'At the opening of the sixth seal we see Jesus Christ coming in the clouds for the saints, followed immediately by the wrath of God. The first five seals which are on the outside of the scroll are broken and non-supernatural events (false christs, war, famine, death and martyrdom) take place with a greater intensity than ever before. Revelation 12:12 speaks of this persecution by Antichrist as Satan's wrath, but when the seventh seal is broken the scroll is opened and Revelation 8:1 tells us that "there was silence in heaven for about a half hour." Why? Because all of heaven knows that it is time for God's wrath. As the seven trumpets are blown and the seven bowls are poured out, the events that take place are supernatural as God's judgment falls upon planet earth.' ____________________ http://solagroup.org/ articles/faqs/faq_0003.html |

2943 | Why does Jesus come as a thief? | 2 Pet 3:10 | kalos | 188378 | ||
The Great Day of Their Wrath -- When? Revelation 6:12, 16-17 (ESV) When he opened the sixth seal…[they were] calling to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who is seated on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb, for the great day of their wrath has come, and who can stand?” In 1Thessalonians 5:9 we are told, “God has not appointed us to wrath…” But when does God begin to pour out his wrath? After the opening of the sixth seal. Revelation 6:12-17 (ESV) 12 When he opened the sixth seal, I looked, and behold, there was a great earthquake, and the sun became black as sackcloth, the full moon became like blood, 13 and the stars of the sky fell to the earth as the fig tree sheds its winter fruit when shaken by a gale. 14 The sky vanished like a scroll that is being rolled up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place. 15 Then the kings of the earth and the great ones and the generals and the rich and the powerful, and everyone, slave and free, hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains, 16 calling to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who is seated on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb, 17 for the great day of their wrath has come, and who can stand?” Grace to you, Kalos |

2945 | What is lust of flesh and eys, pride of | 1 John | kalos | 6003 | ||
A good translation being the best commentary, I quote the same passage from the Amplified New Testament. 16 For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh [craving for sensual gratification] and the lust of the eyes [greedy longings of the mind] and the pride of life [assurance in one’s own resources or in the stability of earthly things]—these do not come from the Father but are from the world [itself]. 17 And the world passes away and disappears, and with it the forbidden cravings (the passionate desires, the lust) of it; but he who does the will of God and carries out His purposes in his life abides (remains) forever.

2947 | Jesus according to Paul, vs. the Gospels | 1 John 1:1 | kalos | 42782 | ||
(Note: I am posting my answer twice because the question has been posted twice.) Amplified Bible 2 Tim 3:16 Every Scripture is God-breathed (given by His inspiration) and profitable for instruction, for reproof and conviction of sin, for correction of error and discipline in obedience, [and] for training in righteousness (in holy living, in conformity to God's will in thought, purpose, and action), The four Gospels are Scripture. The letters of Paul are Scripture. All Scripture is equally inspired by God. Therefore, both the Gospels and the writings of Paul are Scripture; both are equally inspired by God. Both are inerrant in the original manuscripts. The notion that the Bible (in this case Paul and the gospel writers) contradicts itself is totally false. There are NO contradictions in Scripture. Further, based on the following Scripture passages, it is questionable whether the person you quote has any understanding of the Bible at all. Amplified Bible 1 Cor 2:14 But the natural, nonspiritual man does not accept or welcome or admit into his heart the gifts and teachings and revelations of the Spirit of God, for they are folly (meaningless nonsense) to him; and he is incapable of knowing them [of progressively recognizing, understanding, and becoming better acquainted with them] because they are spiritually discerned and estimated and appreciated. Holman Christian Standard Bible 1 Corinthians: 1:18 For to those who are perishing the message of the cross is foolishness, but to us who are being saved it is God's power. 1:19 For it is written: I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and I will set aside the understanding of the experts. 1:20 Where is the philosopher? Where is the scholar? Where is the debater of this age? Hasn't God made the world's wisdom foolish? 1:21 For since, in God's wisdom, the world did not know God through wisdom, God was pleased to save those who believe through the foolishness of the message preached. (...) 1:25 because God's foolishness is wiser than human wisdom, and God's weakness is stronger than human strength. All that said, I wouldn't recommend interpreting the writings of Paul or of the Gospel writers based on the much later-written and misinformed views of the person you quote. |

AMPLIFIED 2 Peter 1:21 For no prophecy ever originated because some man willed it [to do so--it never came by human impulse], but men spoke from God who were borne along (moved and impelled) by the Holy Spirit. |

2950 | Does sin break fellowship with God ? | 1 John 1:7 | kalos | 137652 | ||
"Sin interrupts fellowship but cannot change relationship." But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. 1 John 1:7 (KJV) 'Walking in the light is explained in 1 John 1:8-10; Eph. 5:13. Through the Word of God the indwelling Holy Spirit shows the Christian that he (1) still possesses an old nature (v. 8), and (2) needs the forgiveness of his sins (vv. 9-10). The blood of Christ is the divine provision for both. To walk in the light is to live in fellowship with the Father and the Son. 'Sin interrupts fellowship but cannot change relationship. Confession restores fellowship and immediate confession keeps the fellowship unbroken.' ____________________ Note at 1 John 1:7. New Scofield Reference Bible, Oxford University Press, 1967. |

"To have no KNOWN sin unconfessed" 'To abide in Christ is, on the one hand, to have NO KNOWN SIN unjudged and unconfessed, no interest into which He is not brought, no life which He cannot share. On the other hand, the abiding one takes all burdens to Him, and draws all wisdom, life, and strength from Him. It is not unceasing consciousness of these things, and of Him, but that nothing is allowed in the life which separates from Him.'

2955 | If our sins are forgiven, why repent? | 1 John 1:9 | kalos | 152262 | ||
'Why must I confess my sins if I'm already forgiven? 'Why does the Bible teach we are to confess our sins if we are already forgiven? What is the role of confession? If we are already forgiven, it seems unnecessary, doesn't it?. . . 'The Greek word we use for confess means "to agree with." When we confess our sins to our heavenly Father, we are agreeing with Him. We are agreeing with His attitude about sin; that is, sin is against Him, it is destructive to His purpose for our lives, and it carries with it consequences that will prove painful. 'Confession also implies that we are assuming responsibility for our actions. We are not blaming our actions on others. Confession means that we see ourselves in relationship to our deeds of sin just like God does. '1 JOHN 1:9 'Undoubtedly, the most often-quoted verse regarding confession is this one: "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness" (1 John 1:9). When taken at face value, the verse would seem to indicate that our forgiveness is conditional upon our confession. This raises all kinds of questions: What if we forget to confess a sin? What if we don't realize we have committed a sin? And on and on we could go . . .' To read more go to: http://www.intouch.org/myintouch/exploring/ bible_says/forgiveness/confession_151407.html |

2956 | Election to Salvation or of Purpose? | 1 John 2:2 | kalos | 6590 | ||
Is election unconditional? Morant61: I sincerely appreciate your splendid attitude, the fact that your question is marked by neither belligerence nor an adversarial tone. I mean what I say: in the midst of the verbal warfare on this Forum, your courtesy is refreshing. I think narrowing the focus of one posting is an excellent idea. Therefore, I would like to focus on your point number 6): "Plus: I can't come up with something to make the atonement conditional upon something other than God. It isn't conditional, it is an accomplished fact that we can choose to accept or reject. " I preface my remarks by saying: 1) I reply with all respect. 2) Neither Calvanism nor Arminianism fits the definition of heresy. 3) I am not a hyper-Calvinist. I merely believe in the *Bible doctrine of Election*. 4) It is not my intention to put you down or insult you. Regarding your point 6) "It isn't conditional...", may I say: Election, by definition, is unconditional. If it were conditional, then it would not be election. "Election is the act of God whereby in eternity past He chose those who will be saved. *Election is unconditional*, because it does not depend on anything outside of God, such as good works or foreseen faith (Romans 9:16). This doctrine is repeatedly taught in the Bible, and is also demanded by our knowledge of God" (www.gty.org/IssuesandAnswers/archive/). See this website for more information on the Bible doctrine of election. |

2960 | Lust of flesh, lust of eye, pride of lif | 1 John 2:15 | kalos | 138535 | ||
For all that is in the world--the lust of the flesh [craving for sensual gratification] and the lust of the eyes [greedy longings of the mind] and the pride of life [assurance in one's own resources or in the stability of earthly things]--these do not come from the Father but are from the world [itself]. (AMPLIFIED 1 John 2:16) The lust of the flesh is "craving for sensual gratification." The lust of the eyes is "greedy longings of the mind." The pride of life is "assurance in one's own resources or in the stability of earthly things]." 1 John 2:16 :: New Living Translation (NLT) For the world offers only the lust for physical pleasure, the lust for everything we see, and pride in our possessions. These are not from the Father. They are from this evil world. 1 John 2:16 :: New International Reader's Version (NIRV) Here is what people who belong to this world do. They try to satisfy what their sinful natures want to do. They long for what their sinful eyes look at. They brag about what they have and what they do. All of this comes from the world. It doesn't come from the Father. CROSS REFERENCES: "the lust of the flesh: Romans 13:14; Ephesians 2:3; 1 Peter 2:11 "the lust of the eyes" Proverbs 27:20 "the boastful pride of life" James 4:16 |
