181 | A SIN TO FILE BANKRUPTCY | 1 Pet 4:10 | Glory Bound | 129656 | ||
Actually, I believe there is scripture that deals with this topic in an indirect relation. i.e Rom 13:8 Of course, the word bankruptcy itself is not used, but this answer is in scripture and would take a great deal of sincere research by someone interested in the topic. The above scripture I noted is sort of on the negative side, but I am confident that there are just as many on the more positive side, such as the teachings of forgiveness and adherance to governmental law, and Neh 10:31 for one.

183 | is jesus god | John 1:1 | Glory Bound | 129648 | ||
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. Who is "The Father" if not God? Joh 10:30 I and my Father are one. Do you still need to ask that question? Actually He is not god. He is God. The God. The one and only God of gods and King of kings. GB |

184 | Is Jesus being called God or a God? | John 1:1 | Glory Bound | 129647 | ||
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. John 1:1-4 Our savior said in John 10:30, I and my Father are one. My friend, your friend "the Jehovah's Witnesses" is a wolf in sheep's clothing. He may seem sincere, but it is of a certainty that if he is a JW, he has been thoroughly brainwashed. If you do not wish to be done likewise, avoid any discussion of scripture with him. Jesus stated the above. He also told Phillip when he had asked him to show them the Father "Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?" John 14:9 My advise is that anyone who is not thoroughly familiar with scripture on a first hand basis, "not someone else's teachings on scripture," avoid any discussions with JW concerning scripture, for they are so sly and, no matter how wise you may consider yourself, they will have your mind so confused, you will not even know what has gotten hold of you. And believe me... what gets hold of you will not be something spoken kindly of in scripture... They can, and would confuse even the elect, if it were possible. Dear friend. Scriptural debates are enlightening and uplifting. That is IF they are among believers, "for where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them."Mat 18:20 Until you are thoroughly prepared with the full armor of God, stick to the Christian camp Dear Soul, or you will be ravaged by the wolves.

187 | Why did David use five stones? | 1 Sam 17:40 | Glory Bound | 129388 | ||
I believe your answer is best stated by Matthew Henry. But what arms and ammunition is David furnished with? Truly none but what he brought with him as a shepherd; no breastplate, nor corselet, but his plain shepherd's coat; no spear, but his staff; no sword nor bow, but his sling; no quiver, but his scrip; nor any arrows, but, instead of them, five smooth stones picked up out of the brook, 1Sa_17:40. By this it appeared that "his confidence was purely in the power of God," and not in any sufficiency of his own, and that now at length he who put it into his heart to fight the Philistine put it into his head with what weapons to do it. I would say that David chose five stones because he thought "he" might miss. It only took one, because he was was doing Gods will. Perhaps as we often do, even David doubted his own strength in faith. GB |

188 | once saved always saved? | 2 Tim 4:18 | Glory Bound | 129264 | ||
Dear friend, I figured that you somehow had experience with these boards, simply because your note suggested that you expected an argument from me. Well, the truth of the matter is that I neither agree with, nor disagree with that particular belief. I was once an avid disbeliever in "once saved, always saved.” As I am sure I have stated previously, I had, and still do have many scriptural passages that fully support my disbelief. However, I can also produce just as many passages in support of once saved, always saved as I can against. So.... It is my stern belief that as long as I know Him and He knows me, which though I may falter, he will never let me slip, what else matters? OSAS? No. FAITH and belief in the Word. God bless you my friend. You are so much like myself, with one exception. I can't keep my mouth shut when it comes to the word, particularly when I see someone distorting and twisting it, as is so often the case on these boards. Though I’ve been told worse, I have also been told that I have a big mouth. Well, the way I see it is that “God gave me this big mouth. Then he gave me His word.” He knows what he is doing, and He knew what such a combination would result in. Once I have applied 2 Timothy 2:15, there’s tons of seed to plant and harvest to reap… It is only of late that I have learned to apply 2 Timothy 2:24 to 26 though. Oh... And by the way, concerning your comment that "some people post a question and then never join in the discussion as others attempt to answer." Some are sincere and find that it is easier to learn with their mouth shut. Others are loose interest due to the conflict that the "believers" ignorantly cause with their division concerning the word; still there are others who know these boards well enough that they know exactly how to flip the switch of dissention. Then they just sit back and watch the lions rip each other to pieces. This is when one can sort the true and learned believers, or sift the chaff. GB |

189 | can you lose it? | Heb 6:4 | Glory Bound | 129212 | ||
OK Mark. Though I tend to agree with you, I will spare you the other side of the coin, for I have been around that circle many times. As I stated before, it would only cause confusion where the babes in Christ are concerned. You may want to research the other side of the coin for yourself. And remember what it was our Lord told the disciples concerning those who did not teach as they did. If you wish, you are welcome to eMail me with scriptures against "osas". This has always been a topic of interest where I am concerned. Like I said, I can come up with as much scripture for as I can against. Who knows, you could point out something I missed.

Hi Mark I provided no scriptural foundation because I did not state that “we are slowly saved.” What I did say was “...if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. This is not saying that the fact that " all things are become new" is immediate. We start as babes and gradually grow.” Perhaps it was a little presumptuous on my part to think that you would understand my statement. I took for granted that you knew scripture and would read my words as I wrote them. If you have studied Paul’s teaching you should know what I am saying. What did he say concerning the “renewing of the mind?” For one to think that their life will be changed in the twinkling of an eye is fantasy, and non scriptural. As I stated, when we are reborn, we are, as scripture states “as babies,” and likewise, as babies must grow in the flesh, the babe in Christ must grow in the Word. As babes in the flesh, our initial nourishment comes from milk, which comes from flesh. Eventually a babe of the flesh matures and goes on to meat. Once we have been reborn, as babes in Christ, our initial nourishment comes from what scripture refers to as milk, except this time, rather than being milk of the flesh it is the milk of the word. Gradually we are able to accept the meat of the word. Many Christians never actually get to the point where they are meat eaters concerning the Word. Just like many fleshly babies, they would rather continue on the milk bottle. Eating meat takes effort. Sometimes it's a little hard to swallow. Or else they, as scripture states, surround themselves with false teachers who teach what it is that their itching ears wish to hear. 2 Timothy 2:15 is what I adhere to concerning my spiritual nourishment and teachings. I am not ashamed of what I teach. Many who see and hear my words may disagree or misunderstand what I state. I will try to clarify, but it is not my duty to “make” them understand. If they know scripture they will either understand, research, or shun my teachings. Hopefully though, one day a seed I may have planted will take root. God Bless GB |

Hi Karen, and thanks for responding. Funny you should point out 2 Ti 2:15, for this is the first verse in my list of favorites, one of the many I feel is the responsibility of the believer to adhere to before opening their mouth. Too many Christians have never paid it any attention. Pro 3:5 is farther down the list, but still it is there to lean on. I use 2 Timothy 2:15 as a part of my signature on the AOL “Bible” board under the name "TGiAmGloryBound". I can see by the tone of your note that you are an experienced user of these boards. I have no desire to post anything contrary concerning Eph 1:13-14. As I have stated, I can produce just as many for as against osas, thus because I have gone round that circle many times, it is not mine to disagree or agree with you, particularly considering the fact that you seem to totally understand the point I have stated. One day, and I pray it will be soon, there will be no more questions on our behalf, for we will be totally engulfed in the word of truth. When that day comes, I really don’t think we will be interested in what appears to be so all-fired important today, for what is really important today, will be everyday life in that day… GB |

...if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. This is not saying that the fact that " all things are become new" is immediate. We start as babes and gradually grow. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. Actually what you are, or appear to be stating, is that those who do not perceive scripture as yourself, only "claim Christianity;" That there is more to salvation than what the Lord stated. Dear soul, I am sure you are sincere in your belief. You can get as involved in such discussion as you wish, but I attest that the truth of the Word is not so complicated as to need such "deep discussion," particularly when it comes to salvation; a topic which Jesus himself plainly addressed. Why must man consistently insist on complicating the Word? Surely this was the way of the Pharisees. GB |

What I was saying is that there is much that we will not understand while in the flesh. Many seem to place much importance on such matters. We were not commanded to understand such trivial matters. They tend to side track us from what we were commanded to do. And what was it we were commanded to do? GB |

198 | can you lose it? | Heb 6:4 | Glory Bound | 128841 | ||
I beg to differ. Eternal life is not temporary. It is conditional. In a broader sense, what does the Bible as a whole, from cover to cover, state concerning this matter? For every promise God has given, were there not conditions which the recipient must meet? Or do we simply claim the promises and reject the requirements? Claim the love and grace and forget the fact that He is not only a loving God, filled with grace, but a righteous and just God who expects us to obey is commands, and that He WILL administer FINAL judgment? I do not advocate salvation through works, for those who do, do not know scripture. They deceive themselves. What I do advocate is that we are saved by Grace through faith, and that if we have true faith, we WILL adhere to the "whole" WORD of the one in whom our faith lies. And that likewise, those who believe in salvation by Grace through faith should teach as commanded, rather than what they can not prove scripturally, i.e. once saved, always saved. For every scripture one can provide in support of OSAS, any good student of the Bible can provide another opposing it… 1Ti 1:4 Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: GB |

Yes, yet for every passage which appears to teach such, I have found that there is another passage which appears to teach once saved always saved (which I personally do not believe in.) Am I saying that scripture contradicts itself? No. What I am saying is that that there is much which I do not understand, so because of the realization of this fact I personally lean on Proverbs 3:5 I attest that though many insist on trying to support their personal view concerning this matter, their arguments for or against serve only to farther divide and confuse.

200 | Will wayward christians be forgiven? | Heb 6:4 | Glory Bound | 128839 | ||
Heb 6:4 is not a supposition, but a plain relation of fact. The apostle here describes the case of those who have cast away both the power and the form of godliness; who have lost both their faith, hope, and love, Heb 6:10, and that wilfully, Heb 10:26. Of these wilful total apostates he declares, it is impossible to renew them again to repentance. (though they were renewed once,) either to the foundation, or anything built thereon. Seeing they crucify the Son of God afresh - They use him with the utmost indignity. And put him to an open shame - Causing his glorious name to be blasphemed. Heb 10:26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, Heb 10:38 Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.
