421 | What about this 144,000? | John 14:6 | Val | 208782 | ||
Matt: No doubt one would study the scriptures for themselves in a deep study first beginning with the gospels that tell the story of Christ Jesus as Messiah, Lord and Saviour. However, I disagree with you that it does no good to know what cults believe. Basically what they say about the death, burial and resurrection is key to understanding what they believe and taking that back to the plumb line of scripture we know exactly how to witness to them and proclaim the truth. A good website that shows does exactly that is 4truth.net. If I know what scriptures they use to twist scripture I will look more closely at those scriptures for the meaning myself. Indeed we are to focus on our study of scripture but if challenged we should be able to explain the scripture in question. A scripture that shows that believers did just that is Acts 17:11 Now these were more noble-minded than those in Thessalonica, for they received the word with great eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see whether these things were so. In fact we should use this principle for any and all that teach us scripture. |

Heb 3:12 Take care, brethren, that there not be in any one of you an evil, unbelieving heart that falls away from the living God. Heb 3:13 But encourage one another day after day, as long as it is still called "Today," so that none of you will be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. Heb 3:14 For we have become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our assurance firm until the end, |

7 Reasons Why A Saved Person Can't Be Lost by: Adrian Rogers ------------------------------- 1. Nothing can separate you from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus your Lord. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 8:38-39) Neither death nor anything that happens after death, or anything that happens while you're living can separate you from God's love. If there were no other verse in the Bible that deals with eternal security, this one covers the base. 2. When you are saved, you are made perfect forever. For by one offering He [Jesus] hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified. (Hebrews 10:14) When Jesus died on the cross, He saved you forever. Jesus offered one sacrifice for sin forever. If you ever lost your salvation, in order for you to be saved again, Jesus would have to die again. By one offering He has perfected forever those who were sanctified. 3. Our Lord always finishes what He begins. Being confident of this very thing, that He [God] which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ. (Philippians 1:6) Let me tell you what the Holy Spirit of God does for your salvation. First, He convicted you of sin. Second, He converted you. And the Convictor and the Converter is also the Completer. If God fails to finish what He's begun God has failed and He cannot fail. 4. You are predestined to be like Jesus. For whom He [God] did foreknow, He also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. (Romans 8:29) God saw you before this world was put in space. He saw you repent of your sin and ask Jesus to save you. And when God saw that, not only did He foreknow it, but also He predestinated it. If it is settled in eternity how can it be undone in time? 5. You are in Christ. Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. (2 Corinthians 5:17) You are in Christ just like Noah was in the ark. The ark was a picture of Jesus and when Noah went into that ark God shut the door. Noah may have fallen down a lot of times in that ark, but he never fell out of it. Your security is not in a place, it is in a Person and His name is Jesus. And if you're in Jesus, you're secure and if you're not in Jesus you're not secure. 6. You already have eternal life. Heareth My word, and believeth on him that sent Me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. (John 5:24) Everlasting life is not something you get when you die. Everlasting life is something you get when you receive Jesus. If I have everlasting life, when can it end? Suppose I had it 10 years and it ended. Did I have everlasting life? No, I had a 10-year life. Whatever you have, if you ever lose it, whatever it was it wasn't everlasting. 7. The Lord Jesus Christ is ever interceding for you. I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given Me; for they are Thine. (John 17:9) Jesus also prayed: "I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil...Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word" (John 17:15, 20). Say your name in that verse because Jesus prayed for you! Has Jesus ever prayed a prayer that wasn't answered? No, not one (see John 11:42 and Hebrews 7:25). Some people say, "Well, if I believed in this doctrine, then I'd get saved and I'd sin all I want to." Friend, I sin all I want to. I sin more than I want to. I don't want to! When you get saved you get your wanter fixed. As a matter of fact, you get a brand new wanter. • Love Worth Finding (Tuesday, March 26, 2002) |

Heb 1:13 But to which of the angels has He ever said, "SIT AT MY RIGHT HAND, UNTIL I MAKE YOUR ENEMIES A FOOTSTOOL FOR YOUR FEET"? Heb 1:14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent out to render service for the sake of those who will inherit salvation? Blessings, Val |

428 | Adam and Eve Perfect or Flawed | 1 Tim 2:11 | Val | 208222 | ||
Eve was deceived by the serpent as we are told in 2 Cor 11:3 But I am afraid that, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, your minds will be led astray from the simplicity and purity of devotion to Christ. Since she was innocent before the fall I personally do not think she was lying. After the fall she knew the difference between good and evil. We know that after the Lord's talk with them - an animal sacrifice was made and its fur was used to cover them. We believe this showed them their sin and that the price was a sacrifice; which pointed to the seed (Jesus Christ). Personally I think that is why when we speak unless we are quoting directly from the scripture we may leave out or add to the word of God. So I think its best to say I believe the word says when not directly quoting rather than God says because we may leave out or add to the word if we don't quote it exactly and that might mislead others. Blessings, Val |

429 | Consititues Faith as Opposed to David? | 1 Sam 27:1 | Val | 208221 | ||
Bowler, are you OK. Haven't seen you post in a while. Hope everything is alright. I have been studying Hebrews. Here are some verses for encouragement. Heb 13:1 Let love of the brethren continue. Heb 13:2 Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by this some have entertained angels without knowing it. Heb 13:3 Remember the prisoners, as though in prison with them, and those who are ill-treated, since you yourselves also are in the body. Heb 13:4 Marriage is to be held in honor among all, and the marriage bed is to be undefiled; for fornicators and adulterers God will judge. Heb 13:5 Make sure that your character is free from the love of money, being content with what you have; for He Himself has said, "I WILL NEVER DESERT YOU, NOR WILL I EVER FORSAKE YOU," Heb 13:6 so that we confidently say, "THE LORD IS MY HELPER, I WILL NOT BE AFRAID. WHAT WILL MAN DO TO ME?" Heb 13:7 Remember those who led you, who spoke the word of God to you; and considering the result of their conduct, imitate their faith. Heb 13:8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. Hope you have a good day in the Lord. Blessings Val |

Yes I provided a complete passage in Ecclesiates. Chapter 3 - A time for Everything. You may also search the posts regarding "War". There are scriptures references there. When you say I have little faith, that is offensive. What kind of a reaction would you give to someone who told you that? I never said it was ok to lie. I said there are violent crime situations where I would lie if it was for a greater good. Please stop. |

Just because people happen to disagree with a point of view does not give you the go ahead to judge our motives. You cannot see our hearts so your implication is false. It is very offensive. Please stop. | ||||||
437 | is it ok to lie in certain cases | Col 3:9 | Val | 208019 | ||
Thank you Bowler for your encouragement. I believe life is different from a women's point of view. God put within us the instinct to do all we can to protect the children and defenseless and innocent. Hopefully, nothing like this would ever happen to any of us but if it did, actually noone can say what they would do in a situation like this. Our instincts kick in in violent situations. To condemn anyone for trying to defend themselves is self righteous. Even the best of the best is still a sinner in God's eyes. It is our hope that honesty and obedience to God will never put us in situations like we have discussed. Judging others motives is a sin too because only God can see the heart. Even in a court of justice both sides are heard and then a verdict is reached. If you look at it that way which is how I do, justice is served when we protect the innocent and defenseless. A look at the people's lifes who have been destroyed by violent crimes is something I consider. Does bad things happen to good people? It sure does. Is it wrong to lie, kill, or break any of the commandments? Yes, but is it justified. Only in extreme cases such as a life and death situation. Will most of us in our lifetimes ever become involved in a situation like this? Probably not. But am I going to verbally beat someone up for doing all they can to save themselves or their loved one from torture, unspeakable heidous acts from evil men? No I am not. Will God judge our actions? Yes, as I have been saying lets leave that to Him. Enough said Blessings, Val |

438 | is it ok to lie in certain cases | Col 3:9 | Val | 208011 | ||
When the scripture does not say, we should not go beyond scripture because that is speculation. If it was plain then it would not be hotly debated. No I do not want to debate. Just saying the scripture does not say if Saul was saved or not. We'll know when we get there. God is the only one who can rightly judge the heart and only He is divine so to say something scripture does not say is speculation. Read what David said about Saul after Saul's death. | ||||||
