41 | How will I reach spiritual maturity | Eph 4:15 | NYP | 148537 | ||
Gods voice will never tell us anything which is contrary yo His written word. Please don't think mine a smart answer, but 2 Timothy 2:15 comes to mind. I like the way KJ puts it. "Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, --rightly dividing the word of truth.--" NYP |

42 | there's many denomination yet 1 spirit | Eph 5:1 | NYP | 151380 | ||
Ok... Now I think I understand why I have been questioned concerning tongues in the singular and the plural. This is a topic which, to me appears superfluous, but it appears to be important in the eyes of some. Can you enlighten me, Tim? Humbly NYP |

43 | The apostate, condemned? | Heb 6:4 | NYP | 149058 | ||
It is my understanding that one who is apostate, has no hope (is condemned.) I derive this understanding from the following scripture. Hebrews 6:4. It is impossible for those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have shared in the Holy Spirit, 5. who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the coming age, 6. if they fall away, to be brought back to repentance, because to their loss they are crucifying the Son of God all over again and subjecting him to public disgrace. I understand the word apostate as meaning the following; One who has renounced the faith. Abandonment of a previous loyalty : DEFECTION. What are your thoughts concerning my understanding of this word, apostate, in association to this particular passage? I would request sincere answers from the Christians in this community. |

44 | The apostate, condemned? | Heb 6:4 | NYP | 149886 | ||
Youre seems to be a picture of a babe who has been left to fend for himself which, no doubt happens only too often. I am speaking of one who has grown and matured in Christ, then for whatever reason, turned from the faith. ie. Jewish and Muslim converts, or one who simply turns back to a life of sin and indifference to the word of God. Perhaps my picture could be compaired to the seed which fell amoung the thorns. Or perhaps one which fell on good ground, then was later choked by thorns which grew all around. Scripture seems to state that this person is condemned, for there is no more sacrifice for his sins. Christ will not be crucified a second time. Do I get any change back on my mite and a half now, Doc? Thinking of these "mites" is making me want to scratch. |

45 | Will the real NYP please stand? :-) | Heb 6:4 | NYP | 151163 | ||
Really? NYP is for Not Yet Perfect. Not Yet just wasn't finished. I didn't know I had joined twice. No wonder my posts don't seem to be getting counted. Now I have to remember Which one I used on those other sights. I wish life wasn't so complicated in this cyber age... Can I somehow get Not Yet combined with NYP? I would rather stay NYP. It is simpler. Thanks Hank |

46 | Reincarnation, scripturally founded? | Heb 9:27 | NYP | 150764 | ||
Well, not nessisarily OT, but actually I was thinking of when they asked John the Baptist if he were Elija. This implies to me that they may have believed in some form of reincarnation. There are other examples such as this, which I cannot currently bring to memory. How else could they have thought him Elija, but through reincarnation? | ||||||

Welcome aboard Hank... I have been there for a whild, it seems. |

48 | Reincarnation, scripturally founded? | Heb 9:27 | NYP | 150767 | ||
It appears somehow that my question got posted twice. I think that this modern technology deliberately trys to confuse us old timers. I have news, it can't confuse me much more than I am already. I have learned to live with confusion, and can hardly wait tor the lack of confusion to come. |

Very well put, and understandable. thank you Angel. |

50 | Reincarnation, scripturally founded? | Heb 9:27 | NYP | 150865 | ||
As Angel pointed out, Elijah need not be reincarnated, for he never died in the first place. I had not thought of this fact when I used that example. | ||||||
51 | Reincarnation, scripturally founded? | Heb 9:27 | NYP | 150867 | ||
Well Hank, there is no doubt that Simon Peter cleared that particular matter up. This is my point. Scripture often points out the fact that many, in Christs day seemded to believe in reincarnation. It appears, though one might consider it a pagan belief, the Jews were affected by it. Other than in the verse I quoted originally, scripture never dirrectly address' this matter. Or have I overlooked it? |

52 | Reincarnation, scripturally founded? | Heb 9:27 | NYP | 150874 | ||
Every time I read the Bible, I get a little more out of it. Yet I am occasionally amazed when, in reading a passage I could nearly quote, I discover a new and deeper truth. I am constantly searching for some deeper truth and greater understanding of the Word. Where scripture is concerned; I feel like a starving beggar sitting in the front of a table filled with every delicious and delectiable morsel of nourishment, known to man, and then more. It is my greatest desire to be fatter spiritually than I am "physically." That is one belt size I am glad to see increasing. |

54 | Why can we not just be Christians? | 1 Pet 1:2 | NYP | 151950 | ||
..."This argument suggests that God simply looks into the future to see who will believe, and He chooses those whom He sees choosing Him. Notice that 1 Peter 1:2 says the elect are chosen "according to the foreknowledge of God the Father," and Romans 8:29 says, "whom He foreknew, He also predestined." And if divine foreknowledge simply means God's knowledge of what will happen in advance, then these arguments may appear to have some weight behind them..." Appear to have some weight? They have the weight of scripture. And the only argument contained in this particular post to their contrary, is pure speculation. Inconclusive assumptions, lined with scripture which is no more than neutral to the to either side of the argument. John MacArthur is a Fine Bible teacher, but his word is not the final word. Nor is it scripture. Dear Kalos, I note that you have quoted him much through the years. Can you quote no one else on the matter, for this is a particularly unconvincing argument? Do you believe exactly what he teaches, as he teaches? I believe what scripture teaches, and I believe scripture gives more than just a little weight to the above thought. I wish John and all who desire to bring grace where grace is due, would consider his words concerning this and like subjects which, “we, with our finite knowledge, cannot answer.” Though we all have our firm beliefs concerning such matters, when we learn to respect the beliefs of others by not presenting what is contrary to such matters of insignificance, without absolute scriptural proof of our assertions, perhaps then we can live as scripture teaches, with one mind and of one body. Picture the body of Christ, the Church as a living, breathing human being. Only picture that human being as having all members, i.e. hands, fingers, arms, legs, feet and so on, with the ability to speak and act, individually as the please. Now what does that person look like your minds eye? Personally, I am hard pressed to see Christ as its head.. Sincerely In Him And pondering what is worthy. NYP |
