221 | 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. |

222 | 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 |

[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. |

224 | What comes after I'm saved? | Luke 14:26 | Ken hepting | 101536 | ||
What is discipleship, as presented here, other than being an encouragement or to urge one on in one's struggle to believe God that they are saved? What should come after you've convinced me I'm saved? |

225 | Can anyone agree with this? | Luke 14:26 | Ken hepting | 101540 | ||
Luke 17:6 (NASB) And the Lord said, "If you had faith like a mustard seed, you would say to this mulberry tree, 'Be uprooted and be planted in the sea'; and it would obey you. In studying this I find that if we have a "mustard seeds" worth of the Faith OF Christ we would be able to cast it into the sea. So now I see it is NOT my faith that does the thing but His and/but in accordance with the purposes of "Father". The extent of MY faith is to make sure it "abides" in Christ. See Romans 8.2....8.29 and then re-visit: James 2:18 (NASB) But someone may well say, "You have faith, and I have works; show me your faith without the works, and "I WILL SHOW YOU MY FAITH BY MY WORKS" My Faith of course being His FAITH in me doing only what "He" sees the Father doing....No "wick burning" here....It's all oil. Can anyone agree with this? |

226 | 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. | ||||||
227 | Ken, are you sure? | Luke 14:26 | Ken hepting | 101549 | ||
["It's always been a "blood" demand with God." I've posted verses that seem to speak to the contrary] But you haven't. Lets begin with that fact. |

228 | Ken, are you sure? | Luke 14:26 | Ken hepting | 101550 | ||
[Jesus was, as I understand it, righteous, not innocent.] Indeed, He was innocent! What did Pilate say except "I find no fault in this man". If you think He was guilty in something, please speak it. Furthermore He had to innocent in order to be pure...Pure to be Holy. |

Have fun?? Hmmmm?.I'm puzzled.. Makes me wonder if you are really searching for anything. |

231 | Ken, are you sure? | Luke 14:26 | Ken hepting | 101572 | ||
No, I'm still seeking. And I always will be. But *I* determine what I'm seeking, you don't. I simply don't wish to argue with you. That's all. seeking4truth Ah, I see. In other words you've determined I'm arguing instead of bringing correction/adjustment into the deal. .....I sense you have a need to be right. If that's the case I stand by supposing you not to be seeking but to have your mind already made up and snapped shut. Am I wrong in that? I don't think so...I've read too many of your posts. |

232 | 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.' |

233 | Christ and Christians? | Luke 14:26 | Ken hepting | 101606 | ||
Matthew 5:48 - "Therefore you are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect." Think being born again is hard, try this one. Ouch. Sorry, no can do. Yet it is Jesus' imperative command, isn't it? seeking4truth You place that before the right man because that IS what the journey in Christ is all about. That's the path of righteousness AFTER you are born again. If it wasn't attainable Jesus would never have stated it. If you say, "Father I want to know you" be prepared for the journey that will take you home to Father's house. . It's sometimes called "Bringing son's into Glory" per: Hebrews 2:10 (NASB) For it was fitting for Him, for whom are all things, and through whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to perfect the author of their salvation through sufferings. We will be perfected as He [Jesus the MAN] was or we won't be the "Church without spot or wrinkle" who He comes for.. "that He might present to Himself the church in all her glory, having no spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that she should be holy and blameless". ...Ephes. 5:27 (NASB) No denominational thing here except to get rid of it. Lets be about ...Becoming. |

236 | What comes after I'm saved? | Luke 14:26 | Ken hepting | 101697 | ||
First off, the Great Commandment must be a reality in ones life who claim Christ as LORD. Secondly, the practical working/walking out of the thing will be in relationships we establish and circumstances placed in our lives either by God or otherwise it must be cultivated within to recognize God in all matters of our life....Proverbs 16:9 (NASB) The mind of man plans his way, But the Lord directs his steps. This is especially true of the child of God seeking to become a son....... John 1:12 (YLT) but as many as did receive him to them he gave authority to become sons of God—to those believing in his name, How I'd do so far? |

239 | What is "born again?" | Luke 14:26 | Ken hepting | 101714 | ||
I posted this elsware for Searcher: Consider this: [and I don't necessarily think I'm correct, but I don't think I'm all wrong if, at all] "Many are called, but few are chosen" Who are the called but the "saved", i.e., those who believe Christ as savior, for eternal life, because of the cross and the blood that was shed for everyone. They are now called up to something. That something is to become a "son unto the Father" ergo, a "son brought into glory". [Jn 17] Freewill, being an unchanging factor, in the thing must still be considered when God, in His wisdom God chooses those who He reveals Himself to to become a son since they have chosen Him; They want to KNOW Him. But, "Let him who builds, count the cost...." Jn. 3.3,5. These are they that want to know Christ as more than just savior. The Beatittudes are now the thing that come into focus especially the one "Those who hunger and thirst...". Do you want to know God? Enter the great commandment. Learn how to. |

240 | Born into the Kingdom of God? | Luke 16:18 | Ken hepting | 92274 | ||
"In order to be a canidate for Heaven, we must be born into the kingdom of God, and if we are not qualified for the kingdom of God , we are not qualified for Heaven. Heaven is a prepared place for a prepared people." Where does it say anywhere that we are 'born into' the kingdom of God? And if we aren't then what are the implications? |
