101 | Does God Hate the Sinner? | Ps 5:5 | Robert Nicholson | 64423 | ||
Goodmorning Arise 514 In this psalm the Psalmist seems to make absolute contrasts between the righteous and the wicked. In verse 4 "For thou art not a God who hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee" In v. 5 which you have quoted "thou hatest all workers of iniquity. If I were to take this verse in isolation then I could say God hates certain people. However, when I think of other verses which show me that God deeply loves each person, each soul. I know there is no contradiction in scripture. I think in Psalm 5 we see the righteous indigination of a Holy God with those who persist in wickedness. God's hatred is never malicious. In verse 9 of Psalm 5 we read words similar to Romans 3 where we see a picture of all humans who are not saved. In Psalm 7:11 "God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day" The sin who those who remain as enemies of God is as a stench to him every day. Paul writes "Where sin abounded, grace did much more abound. Romans 5:20 In Romans 3: 9-18 we are given a picture of humans in their natural condition as God sees them. In v. 19 we read that the law was given to show us how exceedingly sinful we are and that we might realize our guilt before God. More wonderful, we find that even when we were totally unloveable and enemies of God by our sin, that "Christ died for the ungodly" Romans 5:6 Does this not show us the depths of love which God has for each individual? and remind us of John 3:16 "For God so loved the World that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life". I believe that God is holy and righeous and cannot tolerate sin to any degree. However, God is love and this is seen in what he was willing to do to provide a basis upon which a holy God can forgive guilty sinners and we know that this was to send his Son into this world to become a sacrifice once and for all for sin and as such we who were enemies of God can be brought neigh to him through the precious blood of Christ. Those are a few of my thoughts God bless Robert |

102 | What do you think of Jesus? | Ps 22:1 | Robert Nicholson | 31792 | ||
What do you think of Jesus which is called the Christ? I have been meditating on Psalm 22 and I have been considering the vivid images of the death of Christ upon the Cross. I find that when I consider the words of the psalmist and of the literal fulfilment at Calvary, I bow in adoration and worship before the Lamb of God who is my saviour. This graphic picture of crucifixion was not a Jewish mode of execution, but was Roman. Is it not amazing that the things which were written of the Savior in the Psalms were fulfilled literally by the Romans. This was no accident, we can see the hand of God in his wonderous love as he allows his only Son to be so cruely treated by humans and most of all that Jesus bore the judgement for our sins as he offered himself without spot unto God. I have listed verse one which immediately takes us to that noon day scene in which the sun refused to shine Matt.27:45 and to the nineth hour in which we hear that cry of abandonment and agony by our Saviour "My God, My God Why hast thou forsaken me? Matt. 27:46 I would be interested in hearing the devotional views of others on this Psalm. I realize that there are prepared lists of the prophecies and yet I wonder how often we truly as it were step into the shadow of the Cross and try to comprehend what it meant for our Savior "to be made sin for us"? |

103 | What do you think of Jesus? | Ps 22:1 | Robert Nicholson | 31837 | ||
Dear Lamplight: Your poem is excellent and reflects the feelings which I have concerning this Psalm. The depths of the suffering of Christ at the hands of humans was terrible and yet the suffering at the hands of a Holy God on account of my sin is beyond words. The hymn writer says "I wonder what he saw in me to suffer such great angony.?" In verse 2 of Psalms 22 we read of the darkness which covered the scene beginning at the noon day hour at calvary. This darkness was miraculous since it could not be explained in human terms and yet the God of heaven veiled the scene in total darkness when his Son was made sin for us. "He was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities and the chastisement of our peace was laid upon him; and with his stripes we are healed (Isaiah 53:5)KJV Why did God forsake his Son? V3 "But thou art holy, O thou that inhabistest the praises of Israel" God turned his back on his Son because he could not look on Sin, Jesus bore the darkness and agony of Calvary that our sins might be forgiven. Because of his sinless sacrifice and his worth a Holy God could look on him and pardon us? "On that cross alone forsaken, where no pitying eye was found, Now to God's right hand exalted, With his praise the heavens resound. Lamplight you are right, he willing gave himself in our stead that we might be his forever. We remember as he anticipated the cross " he could pray being in agony: and his sweat as great drops of blood falling to the ground Luke 22:44 "Saying, Father if thou be willing to remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine be done."Luke 22:42 The Lord Jesus knew that this cup of suffering could not removed because his purpose in coming to the world was to save sinners such as me, you etc. To think that the God of eternity could not release his Son from the death of the cross expresses to us his love beyond compare. "Such love surpassing human thought, that thou blest lamb of God, could bear sin's curse and interpose thine own most precious blood." I rejoice that his love reached me. Robert |

104 | The Shepherd is My Lord! | Ps 23:1 | Robert Nicholson | 47552 | ||
Dear fellowbelievers: It has been suggested that Psalm 23, Psalm 24 and Psalm 25 are a trilogy. God by his Spirit caused David to write these prophetic Psalms. 1. Psalms 22: The Good Shepherd gives his life for the Sheep. (John 10:11) We read in graphic detail the sufferings of the Lord Jesus upon the cross which are further proofs of the inspiration of scripture as we see these prophecies fulfilled by Christ at the hands of Roman soldiers who knew nothing of prophecy regarding Christ. Psalms 23: The Great Shepherd "brought again from the dead through the blood of the everlasting covenant" (Heb. 13:20) who tenderly cares for the sheep. Because of calvary we belong to him, he is our Lord, the one who governs our life. We have confidence as we feed upon the green pastures of his word. Serinity fills our soul as he leads us by his Spirit beside the still waters. We are safe in him as we walk through this world of death and are guided by his rod of correction and rescued from danger by the crook of his staff. Even in the midst of our enemies he cares for us, greater is he that is in us then he that is in the world. Our cup runneth over with his love which he has given each believer by his indwelling Spirit. We know that his goodness and mercy will follow us all the days of our lives, we are totally dependent upon his grace. Our hope is sure that when our days of life are over that we will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. Praise his precious name. Psalms 24: The Chief Shepherd who appears as the King of Glory to own and reward the sheep (1 Peter 5:4) These are a few musings which I have enjoyed. Words fail us when we discuss our Lord and Saviour. Robert |

105 | In Heaven a-way from pain | Ps 23:4 | Robert Nicholson | 34868 | ||
Dear Grace7044: My prayers are with you at this time as you mourn the loss of your mom. I have gone down that road as well when I was 19 and my mom 47. That is why I love Psalm 23:4 as we are reminded of our walk in this valley of death. I love the following words: "Until the day break, and the shadows flee away" (Song of Solomon 4:6a) The triumph of our Saviour at Calvary assures us that a day is coming when those who know him will be reunited by those who sleep in Christ (1 Thess.4) Dear sister, you wonder what heaven is like. Jesus said "I go to prepare a place for you." John 14:2 He purchased that place for us by his own precious blood. It is not a building or a city necessarily, but it is in the present of Christ himself. In Cor.5 Paul reminds us that our present bodies are like a tent which if the Lord tarries we will put off. In v.4 he speaks of how wonderful it would be to be alive when Christ comes and to be immediately changed from mortal to immortal bodies. However, Paul sensing that his time on earth was short comforts us with the confidence that if we die, that we will be present with the Lord V 6-8 I do not believe this is soul sleep but to be present with him is to be awake in his presence. We are not told much about the presence of the Lord. We know that he is seated at the right hand of God. There are angels who worship him. It would seem reasonable that when we arrive in his presence that our hearts would respond in praise to him. The story is told of a wife who asked her husband "will you talk to me in heaven" He answered " after I gaze on the Lord Jesus for a thousand years, I may have time to look back at you". We are not really given much information about heaven, because human words cannot express the beauty, love and peace it will be in the presence of Christ. But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him." (Cor. 2:9) Over the years I have often wondered if my mom and dad have any knowledge of earth. This may be wishful thinking. We know however, that our Lord Jesus is looking done and he genuinely cares for those who have suffered loss. I love the hope in this old hymn "some day the silver cord will break, And I no more as now shall sing, But Oh the joy when I awake, Within the Palace of the King. Then I shall see him face to face, And tell the story Saved by grace." May God be very near to you as you morn this loss. Remember, that God gave us memories, so that we could have roses in December". God bless you and yours Your brother by his grace Robert |

106 | What does "baptized for the dead" mean? | Ps 49:7 | Robert Nicholson | 64599 | ||
Ken J. We have to look at this verse within the context of the chapter. In chapter Paul is presenting the importance of the resurrection of Christ. He also points out the other side of the arguement which is the hopelessness which is found if Christ is not raised and if the dead rise not. Some writers have suggested that in Corinth, there were professing believers who did not believe in resurrection and yet they were practising the ritual of vicarious baptism or baptism for the dead. In other words one of the living would be baptised for one who had died unbaptised. Paul in v. 29 is not condoning this practice, but is pointing out their faulty thinking: First of all they deny the resurrection and then they baptise for the dead. "If the dead rise not at all, why are they then baptized for them" is another way of putting v. 29. The reason this practice is not in the church today is that such a practice is not mentioned before or after this verse. Secondly, the Bible clearly teaches that after death our eternal destiny is fixed. In Luke 16:19-31 Jesus shows us this truth. Again Jesus warned the people "If you die in your sins were I am you cannot come" The idea that a living person can somehow help a dead person by being baptised contradicts the gospel of Christ. Christ is the only one who takes the sinners place and makes him right with God. I am reminded of a psalm which reinforces this truth "None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him" Psalm 49:7 Robert |

107 | Can God change our heart? | Ps 51:10 | Robert Nicholson | 51019 | ||
Greetings oregonraindrops God tells us about the spiritual human heart. "The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?" (Jeremiah 17:9) From this we learn that we cannot change our own heart. Can God change our heart? The Psalmist could pray: "Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me." (Psalm 51:10) It would appear that David believed God could change him. Paul writes: "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new" (2 Cor. 5:17) I believe this includes our spiritual heart. It certainly refers to our changed focus of love and our desires which are new in Christ. In fact it is only through this change that we are able to approach God and to please him. I believe when we are "born from above" by the Spirit of God that he changes us at the time we place faith in Christ and continues to change us througout our lives to be more like him. There may be other verses. Robert |

108 | Salvation: Instantaneous, progressive? | Ps 68:19 | Robert Nicholson | 28155 | ||
Hi Charis I believe both. The word salvation is defined as meaning: deliverance, safety, preservation, healing and soundness. Salvation of the sinner is given in three tenses: 1. Saved from the guilt and penalty of sin. The moment we put our trust in Christ we are saved. This is instantaneous and eternal. Refs. 1 Cor. 1:18, 2 Cor.2:15, Eph. 2 5,8. 2 Tim. 1:9 The words of the Lord Jesus give me confidence that we have eternal life upon believing in him. "He that heareth my word and believeth him that sent me hath everlasting life and shall not come into condemnationL but is passed from death unto life" John 5:24 2. Being saved from the habit and dominion of sin in our daily life. The believer is sealed with the Holy Spirit and as such is given power to overcome the world. Sin will be the accident in a believers life rather than a habit. Ref. Rom. 6:14, Phil. 1:19, Phil. 2: 12,13 3. He saves by conforming us into the image of himself. This process will continue until we see him face to face for all eternity. ref. Rom. 13: 11-12, 1 John 3: 2 Salvation includes all of the redemptive acts and processes: justification, redemption, grace propitiation, imputation, forgiveness, sanctification and glorification. The amazing thing is that when we trust Christ we get all of the above. By studying the words above we can come into a better understanding and appreciation of what we have really come into in Christ. Your brother by his grace alone Robert |

Dear drillmill We read in Ecc. 1:1 "The words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem" and in v12 "I the Preacher was king over Israel in Jerusalem" I believe Solomon is the author under the power of the Holy Spirit.

113 | According to Ecclesiastes 8:14 not. | Eccl 8:1 | Robert Nicholson | 47383 | ||
Lou100 Ecclesiastes shows the most that mere mortal man can be apart from God. What is our reason for being? I believe the Lord Jesus gave us insight into this in John 17:3 "That they might know thee the only true God and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent" It is God's desire for us to know him and that in knowing him love him with all our heart. He desires to have a personal relationship with us through Christ. When Adam and Eve was put in the garden their ulitimate purpose was to commune daily with God. Sin ended this relationship and yet through the work of Christ God can bring about that relationship again. Just a few thoughts Robert |

What beautiful language we find in this chapeter " My beloved is mine and I am his..." and more powerful "Until the day break and the shadows flee away..." As one who belongs to Christ I rejoice that a day will come when shadows will be no longer and faith will give way to sight! What will it be to see our Savior face to face? Robert |

115 | How did sin originate | Is 14:12 | Robert Nicholson | 43833 | ||
New Creature: In Isaiah we read of the fall of Lucifer. Lucifer is a created being by God It began in his thoughts "For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God" Isaiah 14:13 In v. 14 we read "I will be like the most high" Lucifer was not content with the sphere in which he was placed by God. He wanted to be like God. Were not these his words in his temptation of Eve. You will be like gods knowing both good and evil Gen. 3:5 You are correct that God did not make lucifer a sinner. The verse which you have referred to in James 1. In v. 14 we are given the pattern "But every man is tempted when he is drawn away of his own lust and is enticed. Then when lust hath conceived it bringeth forth sin; and sin, when it is finished, bringeth death. This is the LDS of scripture. I believe that lucifier is the originator of evil in the universe and introduced humans to it on earth resulting in the disobedience of man, thus plunging the whole world under sin. Your brother by his grace Robert |

116 | How did sin originate | Is 14:12 | Robert Nicholson | 43961 | ||
New Creature: I knew you were going to ask this question! I would ask "What cause Eve to disobey God and why did Adam wilfully disobey God? They both knew the consequences at least at an intellectual level. I believe if we can understand the process which humans went through, we will have some understanding of the mind of the tempter. In Genesis 3 we find that the first thing the serpent did was question the word of God "Hath God said? Gen. 3:1 We find that Eve knows what God has commanded and the consequences of disobedience. However, we find that she is taken in by the serpent's part truth. He told her "you shall not die, for God knows that your eyes will be opened, and ye shall be as god knowing both good and evil. Consider the process of disobedience. First of all she allows a seed of doubt to form regarding God's word. Secondly, she is tempted by the look of the food of the tree that it appeared to be good and would make one wise. At this point she partakes of the tree and gives to her husband who eats willingly. We know the rest of the story. That "by one man sin entered the world and death by sin, so that death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned" Romans 5:12 Why did two people who were sinless allow themselves to disobey God? They made a personal choice because of their desire to be more than God intended them to be. No one forced them to disobey God. How does this relate to the serpent or Satan? Satan is referred to as "the annoited cherub that covereth; I have set thee so: Thou wast upon the Holy mountain of God; Thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. Thou wast perfect in all thy ways from the day thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee. Ezekiel 28 :14-15 Satan appears to have had a place of leadership under God. He was exceptionally wise and yet from within his mind came the desire to be equal to or above God. Lucifer was judged by God and was cast down from his heavenly position. However, his final Judgement will not come until the end of the great tribulation at which time he is cast into the lake of fire (Rev. 20:10) When we meet Satan as the serpent in the garden of Eden, he is one of the most beautiful and crafty creatures who is judged after his temptation of Eve to the level of a loathsome reptile. We must remember that Satan has many guises. However, back to your original question? I believe that the process that brought Lucifer down was similar to that which came upon humans. Lucifer had observed the Holiness of God, in fact he was created for God for a heavenly service. Within his mind with all his wisdom he coveted that which was never intended to be his, and that was to rise himself above the throne of God in rebellion. Lucifer made a choice and as in the case of man no one forced him and that choice brought about horific consequences. More importantly, we must remember that Satan is alive and well on planet earth and his objective is always to destroy the things and people of God by whatever means. Paul in writing to the Corinthians reminds us of his subtile ways: "Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices." 2 Cor. 2:11 This is a very difficult question and I hope I have been able to shed some understanding. May God richly bless you Robert |

117 | How did sin originate | Is 14:12 | Robert Nicholson | 44184 | ||
Greetings New Creature: According to Eph 2:1 "we were dead in tresspasses and in sins before we were made alive in Christ." Adam and Eve were placed in the position of spiritual death the moment they disobeyed God. In fact they were ashamed of their nakedness and try to cover themselves with fig leaves. Gen. 3:7 Even though they were dead, "they heard the voice of God" They were dead and could not change their situation (helpless), but they were not deaf to the call of God. This is where the idea of free choice verses God making the choice to call them. God knew their condition, he knew their need, but he wanted them to acknowledge that need before he would take the next step in restoring them to himself. God asked two questions which apply to sinners even today. "Where art thou?" and to Eve "What is this that thou hast done?" Gen 3:10-11 They acknowledge their sin and need "I was afraid, because I was naked and I hid myself" V.10 We find that God makes a covenant with them with a promise in V15 in of a redeemer through the seed of the woman speaking of Christ. God covered their nakedness with coats of skins. This is a picture of a sinner being clothed by God in the righteousness of Christ and made fit for God's presence. The only choice which Adam and Eve made was to sin. It was God who made the choice to call them and redeem them bringing them back into fellowship with him. We must remember that the plan of salvation for lost sinners was all of the grace of God. Humankind in his sinful state did not seek after God. Romans 3:11. The only choice we could make as humans was to continue building sin upon sin. Even the things which we did before we were saved which may have been kind works or goodness to others, none of this could earn us any peace with God. Do lost sinners have the ability to choose right from wrong. I believe that according to Romans 1;20 God has not left humans without a testimony of himself in creation. In Romans 2"14-15 we find that the Gentiles who know not God, "do by nature the things contained in the law" which would show us that the law is written in their hearts, in other words they have a conscience. The fact that they have this testimony of God and have a conscience which would convict them of wrong only makes them more responsible before God. However, as I have referred to Rom.3 a person in their natural state "does not seek after God." How then do we ever receive salvation? It is God by his Spirit who strives with sinners and shows them their utter, hopless condition. It is God by his Spirit through his word whether written or spoken who opens the understanding of lost sinners to the truth of the substitutionary sacrifice of Christ for our sins. The moment we rest, trust or believe this truth, it is God by his Spirit who indwells the believer giving them assurance of eternal life, a new nature within and power to live for Christ in our daily lives. What I am trying to show in the above paragraph is that eternal life is a free gift given to us by God and that he is the one who calls us, who convicts us, who enlightens us, who saves us and who keeps us. We are totally dependent on him. At one time I thought that I had made certain choices before I was saved. Yet in retrospect, I can see that God was in it all. It was no accident that a preacher from many miles away visited our farmhouse and brought the gospel to people who had never heard it before. It was no accident that my father was gloriously saved and immediately spread the good news to his family. I can see now that when as a young boy I learned about my sin and my need to be born again, that it was God by his Spirit who used my father and others to get that important fact across to me. I learned by bitter experience that I could not get saved whenever I wanted to. I thought I believed the gospel and God's promise to save those who believe and yet I was not saved. The day that I came to know Christ, I was alone on the roadside after school, I was in torment over my dilemma, not saved. I tried to believe and yet it seemed that there was only darkness in my soul. I got down on my knees and cryed to God "please help me to get saved" It was only moments later as my mind went over John 3:16 that God revealed to me the truth that I was the whosoever for whom Christ died. I took him at his word "that I would not perish but have everlasting life" On the other hand, we have many scriptures which invite sinners to come to Christ. We have examples of those who came to him in their need when he was on earth and had their sins forgiven and their bodies healed. Even Jesus warned of the urgency in coming to know him. "Strive to enter in at the strait gate" I have told my friends that if they are being convicted of their sin, if God is dealing with their soul be thankful for it and do not trifle with his call.

118 | Christian Response To Eastern Thought? | Is 14:14 | Robert Nicholson | 29955 | ||
Dear brother Jenson: The oldest lie in the book given by Satan himself to Eve was the possibility of becoming wise. When we look into the history of Lucifier we find that his downfall was his desire to be like God "I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High" (Isaiah 14:14) It seems to be that human nature desires to do something to improve ourselves even when we are dead in sin. The idea of a fallen nature is foreign to such thinking. We do not want to hear such words as "All have sinned and come short of the glory of God" Rom. 3:23 To deny Christ and the claims of a holy God allows people in their own minds to think they are no longer accountable to their creator. The sad fact remains, regardless of what we believe about ourselves the absolute truth of God remains intact. This type of religion is a "house of cards"which will not stand the test of eternity "when every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the Glory of God the Father" The greatest weapon of our warfare against such teachings is the truth. "nothing can stand against the truth" May God give you wisdom in dealing with your friend and may it be that he might be turned from this way of error into the way of life which is found in Christ. Your brother by his grace Robert |

119 | Holy Spirit or holy spirit? | Is 41:18 | Robert Nicholson | 68573 | ||
Dear brother Ray: Just a personal note, how is your health. We try to remember to keep you before the throne of Grace. I you would like to chat, please email me, my address is in my profile. Dear brother, I am still having difficulties with upper and lower case. However, you have helped very much over the past 18 months. In John 4:14 Jesus said "But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him will be a well of water springing up into everlasting life" I believe that in chp. 7 Jesus expands on this; If any man thirst let him come unto me(Me) and drink. He that believeth on me or (Me), as the scripture hath said, out of his(His) heart shall flow rivers of living water" John 7:37-38 My question here is the pronoun "his" referring to "He that believeth"? if so would it not be lower case? I believe that he is speaking of the Holy Spirit who indwells the believer at the moment of believing or trusting in Christ for salvation. V. 39 "But this spake he of the spirit (Spirit) which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Spirit was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified" Ray, even though the third person of the Godhead was not given would we not refer to him as the Holy Spirit? I am going to sent this back to you. I am not sure whether I have been of help, but would like to hear your thoughts. Your brother in Christ Robert |

120 | God cannot Create Moral Evil | Is 45:7 | Robert Nicholson | 65981 | ||
Please note the NASB translation which puts a different light on the verse. "Causing well-being and creating calamity" Evil in this verse is not referring to moral evil. This is supported by James 1:13 "... for God cannot be tempted with evil neither tempteth he any man(with evil). In Isaiah 45 God is emphasizing "I am the Lord and there is none else" He is in total control. In verse 9 he warns "those who strive with their Maker" and pictures them as clay in his hand. That he as there Creator can bring peace or calamity, it is his perogative, he is God. Robert |
