1821 | Romans 11:35 | Genesis | azurelaw | 191964 | ||
Sorry begbie, I think my previous answer could be missing the point. My appology. Let my refine my answer and hope it helps. It is a "fact" that we are unable to repay (this supplemented by my previous post) God rather than a necessity. If we deem that we have the ability (even the slightest) to repay God, sinful men as we are, we will not humble ourselves in front of our God for we could count on our so-call good work. Ephesian 2:8-9 For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may BOAST. Shalom Azure |

Dear begbie, In the beginning, God created the world. After His creation of man, He rests. We are creatures, even the last be created. We have nothing of our own - but dust. What do we have to repay God? Shalom Azure |

1827 | Stumpped by my son | Bible general Archive 3 | azurelaw | 191810 | ||
Dear Parable, You said : Boyd suggests evil is a NECESSARY (cap. for my emphasis) possibility in a world in which the following realities make love possible. Are you suggesting that without evil, it is of lesser possibility to love? Or in other words, without evil, it is impossible to love? The suggested freedom to choose love or not to love - I don't think we have freedom to choose love or not to love (our God is sovereign), but just we use our freedom to choose the love target. Thank you for your clarification. Shalom Azure |

1828 | Stronger foundation in Jesus? | John 3:16 | azurelaw | 191769 | ||
Dear LJ777, Not sure what do you mean by "get a stronger foundation in Jesus Christ" as I see brother Jeff made a reply (post #190585) to your earlier post where he explained salvation through faith in Christ. If your concern is on spiritual growth, then you have to study God's Word every day, pray fervently and unceasingly and whenever the Holy Spirit guides you and work out what is taught in the Bible. Without doing these, there is no way to become stronger. For your blacksliding struggle, may I offer you Psalm 25 to meditate on. May the Holy Spirit guide you through. Shalom Azure |

1834 | I want to get back to Jesus. | Rev 3:3 | azurelaw | 191699 | ||
Dear LJ777, When reading your question, the first thing comes to mind is the story of the prodigal son described in Luke 15. I believe the moment you had the above questions in mind was a sign of the Holy Spirit's work in you to urge for your repentance. C.H. Spurgeon has depicted a beautiful and loving picture in his sermon which I am glad to quote as an encouragement. ******** "And kissed him."—Luke 15:20. ...the subject of which will be, the overflowing love of God toward the returning sinner. The determination to return home is good; but it is when the wandering boy begins the business of really carrying out the good resolve, that he draws near the blessing. If any of you here present have long been saying, "I will repent; I will turn to God"; leave off resolving, and come to practicing; and may God in His mercy lead you both to repent and to believe in Christ! Before the kisses of love were given, this young man was on his way to his father; but he would not have reached him unless his father had come the major part of the way. When you give God and inch, He will give you an ell. If you come a little way to Him, when you are "yet a great way off" He will run to meet you. I do not know that the prodigal saw his father, but his father saw him. The eyes of mercy are quicker than the eyes of repentance. Even the eyes of our faith is dim compared with the eye of God's love. He sees a sinner long before a sinner sees Him. I do not suppose that the prodigal travelled very fast. I should imagine that he came very slowly— "With heavy heart and downcast eye, With many a sob and many a sigh." Slow are the steps of repentance, but swift are the feet of forgiveness. God can run where we scarcely limp, and if we are limping towards Him, He will run towards us. ******************** (to read more, go to http://www.biblebb.com/files/spurgeon/2236.htm) Shalom Azure |

1835 | The Internet Church | Rom 8:28 | azurelaw | 191682 | ||
The Internet church - is like no other. Loving others through words is a new concept, a new blessing. Not face to face, the words we speak through the keyboards tells of the love in our hearts. I may never meet you in this human form, but God knows us both. We will have a place in heaven sitting by His side. Where our Spirit now concealed, will be the real insider-outside then you will know the real me. Neither you nor I will be disappointed, having new names. We will never lose the ability to love. Charity like eternity, is forever. In this new church of words with the online pews. No pastor, no elders, just God and us. Sharing these end-times together. - George J. Miller |

1836 | Stronghold | Ps 18:2 | azurelaw | 191681 | ||
***************** Stronghold I have found a place of safety and comfort, surrounded by the arms of God. My faith is constant, my hope always ready. Love waits to jump into action, but held in check by obedience to Him. All are tempered within Gods timing, for only He has total control over them. We have learned a delightful two-step together, He leads, I follow. I feel a knowing of my God, draws me closer still. Acting in concert, His Spirit knows His heart. My choice, to always follow, and do as bid. For this choice, He protects, He comforts, He gives His love. I have no personal concept of humility, I know of it, but believe it just "is". Define it, no I cannot, because it is hidden behind an unseen veil. More a condition of the heart, than anything seen. It is now a time of putting all the years of faith together. With age comes His comfort, and that Haven, of those encircling arms, that soft voice. I thrill myself, in knowing Him, hearing Him, and His choice of Loving me as His son. - George J. Miller ******************** |

1837 | is masterbation a sin | Rom 12:1 | azurelaw | 191662 | ||
Dear Rabban, Thank you for your input in concern with the subject. But I don't think "women and lowly sexed men" should be excluded. :-) May I offer the below quote from a study of the subject :- ------------- Masturbation and the Bible - by Lambert Dolphin " .....In actual fact, masturbation is virtually always closely connected with lustful thought life.....Many individuals who masturbate will admit that they use pornography, ....to heighten the pleasure and vicarious enjoyment of sex. All of these are, in reality, forms of idolatry involving the worship of another person, ... or the worship of an "image,"--rather than God. "Jesus was condemning...those fantasies in which we see ourselves possessing that which we are not allowed to have. He is condemning those fantasies in which we manipulate people in our minds in ways that will appeal to and satisfy the lust of our imagination. Whether it be a forbidden partner or a forbidden sexual practice, we must be aware of the fact that the mind is capable of endless perversions" (Ref. 1, page 119). Many Christian young people can not imagine Jesus Christ loving them deeply enough to help them overcome the shame of their masturbation. Thus masturbation is not an area of one's life where Jesus is welcome---it is usually private and secret. Excluding Jesus from any area of our lives is of course risky since we are then left in darkness and in bondage to sin in one form or another. ... Nothing we do, even in private, is hidden from God. (Psalm 90:8) To be more objective, the Bible is clear that sexual activity is always wrong outside of marriage. It is plain to see that masturbation is usually narcissistic. Narcissus was the Greek youth who, upon seeing his reflection in a pool, fell in love with himself, then fell into the pool and drowned. In other generations masturbation was called self-abuse, ... The emphasis is on "self," not on one's relationship with God or one's family. We can surely say the "solo-sex" is not part of God's original design for man which is for sexual expression in the context of love and commitment in a marriage...... Masturbation also tends to turn one's focus inward upon oneself, leading to shame, sometimes excessive introversion, often low self-esteem, self- consciousness and detachment from normal social roles. God did not design sex to be a solitary experience. It is supposed to be shared with another, and only in marriage. Sexuality is intended to be part of the complementary interaction of self-giving love between a man and a woman who are committed to one another for life. (See 1 Cor. 7:4 where the Bible states that husband and wife are to give up the right to their own bodies to one another in marriage). Within marriage the dynamic interplay between opposites can bring healing and wholeness for both the man and his wife. Admittedly, sexual desires are most intense biologically speaking when we are young and not yet able to marry. The spiritual victory to be gained (with the help of the Lord Jesus) is one of self-control (1 Thess. 4:1-8) and an inner purity that constantly vitalizes one's intimate personal relationship with Jesus the Bridegroom of the church. The Song of Solomon gives us a good picture not only of marriage but also of our individual relationship with Jesus Christ seen as a discipleship of love (Ref 2). God is working in us to produce wholeness and well-roundedness, a self-giving life style not a self-centered one. Previous generations of Christian leaders taught that instinctual energies could be sublimated and rechanneled into productive and creative actions in the world. This concept has largely disappeared in our time when the focus is on self, self-realization, and self-fulfillment. "No man knows how bad he is till he has tried very hard to be good. A silly idea is current that good people do not know what temptation means. This is an obvious lie. Only those who try to resist temptation know how strong it is. After all, you find out the strength of the German Army by fighting it, not by giving in. You find out the strength of the wind by trying to walk against it, not by lying down. A man who gives in to temptation after five minutes simply does not know what it would have been like an hour later. That is why bad people, in one sense, know very little about badness. They have lived a sheltered life by always giving in. We never find out the strength of the evil impulse inside us until we try to fight it: and Christ, because He was the only man who never yield to temptation, is the only man who knows to the full what temptation means-the only complete realist (C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity). " To read more, please go to http://www.ldolphin.org/Mast.shtml ------------- We are to glorify God. Anything (not only masturbation) fall short of this goal does not please God. Shalom Azure |
