1661 | Helpless | Rom 5:6 | azurelaw | 229233 | ||
Dear Thomas, In concern with the context of Romans 5:6 where talks about the helplessness of sinner, I think John 3:36 should fit with what you are thinking since sinners are actually helpless under God's wrath. There is no way for sinners to escape from God's wrath except through the saving work of Christ alone. Shalom Azure |

1662 | Conditional organs donation | Rom 5:8 | azurelaw | 188945 | ||
We had once discussed about organs donation in a cell group gathering. One or two of us expressed that they would limit their donations to those patients who were not smokers, drugs users, drunkards, etc. Should christians limit the donation with those conditions? Any biblical view on that? Thanks. Shalom Azure |

1664 | Where were Jesus' disciples from? | Rom 5:12 | azurelaw | 201921 | ||
Dear byoung, Welcome to the forum. Perhaps other more knowledgable will answer your question to the point. However, I think it would be more appropriate and benefitial to us that we focus on Jesus and what He has done for us instead of Judas Iscariot. By the way, it is not Judas' betrayal on Jesus that led Him to the cross, but our sin. Rom 5:6-21 Shalom Azure |

1665 | Where were Jesus' disciples from? | Rom 5:12 | azurelaw | 201922 | ||
Hi again, There is very little information about Judas Iscariot given in the bible. He is just like any ordinary man (you or me) that who may betray our Lord for his/her own greed. Pray that we be always faithful to our Master. Shalom Azure |

1666 | Baptized into his death | Rom 6:3 | azurelaw | 204119 | ||
Dear looking.., First of all, welcome to the forum. Thank you for clarifying your position on baptism and I believe that is what Tim and Brad asked for in concern with better clarity to other forum readers. So, please, please don't feel offensive when being asked for clarification. However, I am a bit sad in seeing your posts 204098 (reply to John) and 204108 (reply to Doc) ending with capital letters for "God bless" while in the context, you have revealed (it looks like so to me) a feeling of unfriendliness. Did you truly say what you mean with "GOD BLESS"? 1 John 3:18 Little children, let us not love with word or with tongue, but in deed and TRUTH. If I have misunderstood you, I beg for your forgiveness. Shalom Azure |

1668 | Can we live life without sinning? | Rom 6:12 | azurelaw | 209568 | ||
Dear Looking, I have to admit that I have not read much about Finney's work. It seems to me that you have read a lot of his accordingly. So, maybe you can tell me if you find his teaching appear heretic in the following 2 areas as proposed by Orthodoxy according to Brad's post 209542? "He rejected the doctrine of justification by faith as well as denying original sin. These are foundational- essentials- of Orthodoxy" Shalom Azure |

1669 | what do verse 15 means | Rom 6:15 | azurelaw | 180167 | ||
Dear Anita, The below article from gotquestions.org could be helpful to you. Question: "If I am saved and all of my sins are forgiven, why not continue to sin?" Answer: The Apostle Paul answered a very similar question in Romans 6:1-2, "What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? By no means! We died to sin; how can we live in it any longer?" The idea that a person could trust in Jesus Christ for salvation and then go on living just as he/she lived before - is absolutely foreign to the Bible. Believers in Christ are new creations (2 Corinthians 5:17). The Holy Spirit changes us from producing the acts of the flesh (Galatians 5:19-21), to producing the fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23). The Christian life is a changed life. What differentiates Christianity from every other world religion is this - Christianity is based on what God has done for us through Jesus Christ. Every other world religion is based on what we must do to earn God's favor and forgiveness. Every other world religion teaches that we must do certain things, and stop doing certain things - in order to earn God's love and mercy. Christianity, faith in Christ, teaches that we do certain things and stop doing certain things BECAUSE of what Christ has done for us. How could anyone, having been delivered from sin's penalty, Hell, go back to living the same life that had them on the path to Hell? How could anyone, having been cleansed from the defilement of sin, desire to go back to the same cesspool of depravity? HOW COULD ANYONE, KNOWING WHAT JESUS CHRIST DID ON OUR BEHALF, GO ON LIVING AS IF JESUS CHRIST IS NOT IMPORTANT? How could anyone, realizing how much Christ suffered for our sins, continue sinning as if Jesus' sufferings were meaningless? Romans 6:11-18 declares, "In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus. Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires. Do not offer the parts of your body to sin, as instruments of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God, as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer the parts of your body to him as instruments of righteousness. For sin shall not be your master, because you are not under law, but under grace. What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? By no means! Don't you know that when you offer yourselves to someone to obey him as slaves, you are slaves to the one whom you obey — whether you are slaves to sin, which leads to death, or to obedience, which leads to righteousness? But thanks be to God that, though you used to be slaves to sin, you wholeheartedly obeyed the form of teaching to which you were entrusted. You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness." Shalom Azure |

1670 | Remarriage of a christian | Rom 7:2 | azurelaw | 185278 | ||
Today I have a nice chat with my sister-in-law. One of the topics we have come across is "re-marrying" of a widow or a divorced christian. She said that God only puts much weight on the first marriage than the second regardless of the reason of the failure of the first marriage. I find it doubtful and I also cannot recall any scriptural support for her such comment. Can anyone help? Shalom Azure |

1671 | Remarriage of a christian | Rom 7:2 | azurelaw | 185280 | ||
Dear Apollos, Thanks for your answer. The scripture you cited has been well understood. My question is on the part which said "God only PUTS MUCH WEIGHT ON THE FIRST MARRIAGE than the second regardless of the reason of the failure of the first marriage." Did you think of any scriptural support on this? Shalom Azure |

1672 | How much of Torah is to be followed? | Rom 7:4 | azurelaw | 192966 | ||
Dear Y'shua Ha Mashiach Talmid, Well, you've got a pretty long user name. I hope my post would not sound rude to you. I appreciate your diligent study on the Bible and your effort put in studying Hebrew, too. However, I believe we can still understand post pretty well even you write only in English. Your insert of those Hebrew words though seems rather interesting, I am sorry they would sometimes confused my reading. I believe you will also be confused if I use the same pattern to write my post in Chinese, say : sheng ling (Holy Spirity), fa li sai ren (Pharisee), Yage (James), xing ye quan shu (the New Testament)... and so on. :-) While making use of the original language in explaining scriptures are usually needed, however, when it comes to be overly used could cause redundancy. I apologize if I offended you. Yet, I think the media of communication in this forum is English unless where there is a necessity. zhu en chang zai (God's grace be with you always) :-) ping an (Shalom) Azure |

1674 | Paul's flesh | Rom 7:25 | azurelaw | 189936 | ||
Dear ronz, Do I sound like accusing? I just kind of worry that you might not get a response from that inactive poster. Never mind. The more you participate on the forum and you are curious enough, you will soon find out how the forum works. It's easy. I believe you are smart enough to manage. Moderator? You know who is the moderator - God alone. I am just a sister in Christ striving to learn more of His Word. God bless and may we learn together. :-) Shalom Azure |

Dear ronz, For sure I know it's a joke. That's fine with me and we don't need to be always so serious at all times. Have you read the terms of use of the forum? If not, please do. All participants are free to post questions, answers and notes subject to the guidelines set by the Lockman, that is how I perceive as moderator on the forum. Shalom Azure |

1677 | Pleasing the flesh, robbing God's altar | Rom 8:5 | azurelaw | 209742 | ||
"Ah, flesh! when thou art yielded to, into what follies wilt thou not drive us, into what prostration of strength dost thou not hurl us? Pleasures and comforts, if sought as ends, are desperate drains upon the vigor of the spirit. When body is indulged, then the soul lies cleaving to the dust. It is not possible for us to pamper the flesh without, at the same time starving the soul. If we sacrifice unto our own lusts, we are quite certain to get the sacrifices by robbing God's altar. The body shall not have pleasure in sin, except the soul shall soon be in a state of misery and decay." --- C.H. Spurgeon |

1678 | What happens when we pray? | Rom 8:26 | azurelaw | 209899 | ||
Dear Cookboy, Rom 8:26 .... for we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words; Rom 8:27 and He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. Rom 8:28 And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. Shalom Azure |

1679 | Passages about people put in your life? | Rom 8:28 | azurelaw | 189501 | ||
Dear aetherbulb, Welcome to the forum. The scripture I can think of at the moment is: Rom 8:28 And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. Please note that not only people, but ALL THINGS. Shalom Azure |

1680 | 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 |
