Hi John:: Exxxxcuuuuuuse me!!! In reading your post, it appeared as though you were saying, Luke, and Paul were both disciples, in the sence they had both walked together with Christ, during His ministry on Earth. To use your own words: "How diligent we must be when giving out His Word, or information about His Word," Which is exactly the reason I posted to you. The person asking the question did not appear, from the question itself, or the way it was asked, that they were very learned in the Bible (a novice). Would you not say? All I was attempting to do, was to clarify for the poster, also to bring to your attention, there could be an assumption made that would be false. My only motive was to correct. On the grounds of my personal experience, of some people I have met, believing that all of the Apostles, including PAUL, HAD walked with Christ. If you took my honest correction, as a personal attack, or an affront to your biblical knowledge, or your intellectual ability in reading a dictionary I truly apologize. But there was nothing in my post to you that could be taken as either, it was only one sentence, and then my agreement with you! Again Sorry Nevvvvine |

Hi John: Paul was not a disciple of Christ, as Luke was, Paul was a Pharisee, then on his way to Damascus, he was knocked off his horse, and Effectivly DRAFTED into the Service of God. But as you say , it does not give us a reason as to why they went in different directions. Acts 22:3-8 3)I am verily a man which am a Jew, born in Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, yet brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, and taught according to the perfect manner of the law of the fathers, and was zealous toward God, as ye all are this day. 4)And I persecuted this way unto the death, binding and delivering into prisons both men and women. 5)As also the high priest doth bear me witness, and all the estate of the elders: from whom also I received letters unto the brethren, and went to Damascus, to bring them which were there bound unto Jerusalem, for to be punished. 6)And it came to pass, that, as I made my journey, and was come nigh unto Damascus about noon, suddenly there shone from heaven a great light round about me. 7)And I fell unto the ground, and heard a voice saying unto me, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? 8)And I answered, Who art thou, Lord? And he said unto me, I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom thou persecutest. In Gods Love Nevvvvine |

Hi humbledbyhisgrace:: I have observed in my short time at the Forum, there is a particular quote of scripture, favored by Forum members. Maby it would be adviseable for all to heed the (Wisdom) to be found within this particular verse of scripture. Avoiding the easly expressed Tongue in Cheek comments, or acusations of others motives that so frequently find there way into alot of the Correction of others at the Forum. Were all here to learn, and it seems as thoug this lesson hasent been learned as yet. Timothy 3:16 16) All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: LOVE IN CHRIST Nevvvvine |

Part 2 of 2 Hi again CDBJ We "are" dead to the Law? Rom. 7 1:11 1) Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth? 2) For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband. 3) So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man. 4) Wherefore, my brethren, ("ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ"), that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God. 5) ("For when we were in the flesh"), (the motions of sins), (which were by the law), (did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death). 6) ("But now we are delivered from the law"), (that being dead wherein we (were) held); that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter. 7) What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, (I had not known sin, but by the law): for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet. 8) But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. (" For without the law sin was dead"). 9) ("For I was alive without the law once"): ("but when the commandment came"), ("sin revived, and I died"). 10) And the commandment, which was ordained to life, ("I found to be unto death"). 11) ("For sin"), ("taking occasion by the commandment"), ("deceived me"), ("and by it slew me"). Gal. 5:16 This I say then, ("Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh") Rom. 8:1,4, 1) There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, ("who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit"). 4) That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit 5) ("For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh"); ("but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit"). 9) ("But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit"), ("if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you"). Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. 13) ("For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die"): ("but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live"). Heb. 7:19 19) For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw nigh unto God. I think that's enough for now In Gods Love Nevvvvine |

Hi CDBJ:: We are a Vessle created by God, upon our salvation, we are (Filled) with God's Holy Spirit, from that moment on, we are (Indwelled) by the Holy Spirit. Where is it written, this filling (Can) or Does) take place, more than once? Just what would the process be, by which we can be (Unfilled), without being (Undwelled) at the same time? (EXAMPLE) If I have an empty glass, (representing the unregenerate person). Then I take a fluid, filling this glass, until full (representing the infilling of God's Holy Spirit). The glass now stands being (Indwelled) by this fluid, (representing the Believer). If I pour out even (One) drop of fluid, the glass in effect, is not full anymore. The questions then arise. 1) How much of the Holy Spirit is lost upon sinning? 2) Is the amount of loss, determined by the degree of Sin committed? If you (Sin, as a believer) you are in effect, putting yourself back under the Law, acknowledging that now being saved, (freed from sin) by the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, we are kept free by the keeping of the Law. 3) Does not Sinning, which can only be attributed to us, by the (Transgression) of the Law, on the part of the Believer, constitute (Falling Away)? We can't lose our salvation.. Jas. 2:1010) For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. Gal. 3:1-3 1) O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you? 2) This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? 3) Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh? Heb. 6:4-6 4) For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, 5) And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, 6) ("If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance"); ("seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh"), ("and put him to an open shame").

Hi Tim:: If we have been saved, Born Again, regenerated. This means we have been sealed with the Holy Spirit, is this the same as being filled? If the answer is yes, and we cannot lose our Salvation, which we cannot. Is it then possable for us to NOT walk in the Spirit? In Christ Nevvvvine |

Hi ovadyah: With your origional question, it appeared as though you were looking for, or asking help in attaining a better understanding, of the scripture in question. But, you have refuted everything everyone has said to you. It seems like you are either unable, or unwilling to see the (Spritual understanding of the explinations), which have been submitted to you. We are no longer in the flesh, but in the Spirit, therefore we are Dead to the Law. If we are effectivly dead to the Law, does that not mean (For us who believe) the LAW HAS been abolished? Col. 2:14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; Phil. 3:9 And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: If these 2 scriptures are not enough for you to understand, then the question arises. Are you saying scripture is contradicting scripture, or what Paul wrote was in error? In God's Love Nevvvvine |

Hi again ovadyah: Keep and Teach or Abolished/Annulled? Is that question being asked in relation to how, we as Christians should look at the Law? When you say Law do you mean the 10 commandments, or the whole law? Why does Paul say Christ abolished His Father's Law when Christ states: 1.)That's not why I came(Mt.5:17-19) 2.)We shouldn't loosen any commandment(Mt.5:17-19) 3.)We should keep the commandments(Mt.5:17-19) 4.)We should teach others to keep them (Mt.5:17-19) Paul says what he did, because he is talking to Spiritual Beings, not Fleshly Beings, if you have been Born Again. The abolishing of the Law only applys to believers, through Faith, we have fulfilled the Law through Christ. Rom. 7:4 4) Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God. Rom. 7:6 6) But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; (THAT WE SHOULD SERVE IN NEWNESS OF SPIRIT), and not in the oldness of the letter. Jer. 31:33 33) But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people. This is what has happened to us as believers. The plan, and the opperation to fulfill that plan of redemption was God's doing, not Man's. God, and God alone chose how he would accomplish this for us So if it says, in Eph. 2:15 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace; Then we have no other choice but to believe the inspired word of God. Gal. 4:4,5 4) But when the fulness of the time was come, (GOD sent forth his Son), made of a woman, made under the law, 5) (To redeem them that were under the law), that we might receive the adoption of sons.

Hi again Bob: It would help in the future to post the name of who you are answering, to avoid confusion. I left off the refferance to Cor. 10:13 because you had already used it, if that was directed to me.

56 | ... | Eph 2:15 | Nevvvvine | 211189 | ||
Hi ovadyah: The simplest answer to that question is. Jesus abolished in His flesh,the Law. (By fulfilling the Law.) So we who believe in Jesus as Savior, both Jew, and Gentile, in him we both become righteous, as though we have fulfilled the law ourselves. Thereby establishing peace with God in His flesh. As far as the Law is concerned. It still exists, in particular to those that want to live by the Law.(the Jews) But as for us, who are of the household of Faith, we have been set free from the curse of the Law in our lives. Galatians 3:10 10) For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them. Galatians 3:13 13) Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: Jesus taught us: Matt. 22:36-40 36) Master, which is the great commandment in the law? 37) Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38) This is the first and great commandment. 39) And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 40) On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. Mark 12:30,31 30) And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. 31) And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these. Luke 10:27,28 27) And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself. 28) And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live. If we keep the 1st.,and 2nd. commandments, we will keep all of them. For Love worketh no ill to our neighbour. In Jesus Love Nevvvvine |

Hi BOB, and JOHN:: It seems there is an answer to both of your positions. Bob you say: When he was tempted in every way that we are, he could not use one ounce of his deity to resist it or he would have an advantage over us in facing temptation. So his perfect life puts us to shame since we should have been able to resist as well. answer: Your infference, is mixed with apples, and oranges You use scripture that was to a person (Abram) before there was LAW, and then to a people under the law "were not". The Holy Spirit is the Unifying factor, between Jesus, and us. Giving to (both) from the POWER of God himself, the ability to overcome temptation, because we are in Jesus, Matt. 3:16 16) And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: Act 1:8 8) But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” John you say: Hi Bob, can you show us please just where in scripture is says that "we should have been able to resist" temptation, as you say? answer: We as unsaved (unregenerated) human beings, have no power in our lives to resist anything! So what you said to Bob is correct as far as that goes. Although there is scripture for us who "Do" believe. Gal. 5:16 16) This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. In Love Nevvvvine |

58 | Am I ignorant | 1 Cor 12:1 | Nevvvvine | 211178 | ||
Hi Jeff:: Thank you for your response. To clarify for you, what I was saying is that the teaching in Cor. would open to more people the receiving of said gifts. I am not refuting, that the gifts of the Spirit are clearly shown to be the work of God through the believer, After all they are called the Gifts of the Holy Spirit, they were not conjoured up by man to do something for God. 1 Cor.14:12,13 12) Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek that ye may excel to the edifying of the church. 13) Wherefore let him that speaketh in an unknown tongue pray that he may interpret. So we see that we "can seek" to a greater gift, a deeper understanding of them. A differant way of saying it would be, there were, and are today, people that can receive the gifts of the spirit, by being taught that they are available to us, and that we can seek for the manifestation of them in our lives. This teaching will be a direct cause of the proliferation of thes gifts. About the lifespan, I was saying that there were people, that were receiving these Gifts, that were alot younger than the Apostles, meaning that they would be living into the 2nd. century, and teaching others that they also could, and should receive also. And so on, until the 21st.century. you say: "I don't find that God would give a gift to an individual and then he/she be in permanent possession and practice of that gift until his/her death." answer: Are there any other people documented in the bible besides the Apostles, (Timothy) that we can definativly say, they had the Gifts? Is there any documentation, refuting the posession of these Gifts until their deaths? Did Paul, John, Peter ever Stop being Apostles? you say: "I do see where particular gifts were used in particular events by individuals and then not mentioned again." answer: What particular event are you refering to? We see that Jesus healed a "Lunitic", but because there are not 5 more accounts of this same event taking place, does this mean that Jesus lost the power to proform this healing? No of course it doesn't, it just means that there does not need to be a redundancy of ocasions for us to know, and believe that these events took place more than one time, I guess it is one of those things we are taught, we are to take on FAITH. In summary: 1) Gifts are clearly of GOD. 2) There can be teaching of receiving thes Gifts. 3) Is permanent possession of thes Gifts possable. 4) Your particular event scripture. 5) Gifts only used inparticular events. God Bless Nevvvvine |

59 | Kill your brother and drink strong drink | James 2:10 | Nevvvvine | 211128 | ||
Hi Pete:: In your talks with your pastor, has he said to you, "you are not under the Law"? The Law was given to let us know, we all have a need for a savior (Jesus), because we cannot keep the Law, Jesus was the only person to do that. You have asked a question in regard to killing someone, I understand that it was an extreme question. So here is a simple one in return, do you eat Pork, Lobster, Crab? There all on the no list, will you still be eating them in the future? As far as drinking goes, I drank alot before I got saved, but differently than others, if I want to have a drink now I do, any kind of drink, I just do not need the BUZZ anymore. Therefore I do drink on rare occasions, because I do not "need" it in my life. To put it simply. If you need the buzz, your body is not under subjection, your flesh is still dictating to you, it is in control of you. Try going for 1 mo. without pleasing your flesh, and you will see, you do not need the buzz either. It is not what goes into a man that defiles him, but the issues of life, those are the things that defile a man. Mark 7:18-23 18) And saith unto them, Are ye so without understanding also? Do ye not perceive, that whatsoever thing from without entereth into the man, it cannot defile him; 19) Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats? 20) And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man. 21) For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, 22) Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: 23) All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.

Hi John:: Why would the teaching on the Gifts of the Spirit have been written to the Corinthians? Which would have multiplied the amount people that were able to avail themselves of these gifts, and in many cases much younger than the Apostles. Thereby putting the possible end of said gifts into the 2nd. century, and so on with the same teaching from Cor. until we are in todays time sitting on the forum debating wether the Gifts of the Spitit are for today, because there are no scriptures that speak explicidly to this question which is what type of scripture it would have to be, not some vague belief of what something MIGHT be saying. To Quote a venerable poster on this forum if I may. Quote from Doc. "If we aren't told, then all we can do is speculate." That seems to be exactly the thing that the Cessationism perspective is all about. I will take the time to read all of the links Doc has posted, and you have so graciously recomended to Tim, with a completely open mind, as I am sure you would do, were you in my position (:-) In His Love Nevvvvine |
