223 | Aliennow Can Satan enter belivers heart | Matt 5:13 | ebrain | 160292 | ||
Yes but what is Aliennow's understanding of the word beleiver, I took it to mean a Christian, one who has received Jesus as Saviour,-- perhaps I was wrong?. I do not see how, within the context of this web site it can mean anything other than one who accepts the Word of God, and it's message as being true. |

Thank you CDBJ for your comments. Please look first at my input 3 lines above yours entitled "Yes but what is Aliennow's understanding". I am indeed well aware of the OT Saints, but the question which started my reply's is "Was Judas Iscariot a believer?". The answer is he was not. The questioner then went on to ask "Can Satan enter a belivers heart". Again the answer is no. Rightly or wrongly I concluded that the questioner was not asking about people before Judas, but Judas, and subsequent persons. Remember all His followers deserted Jesus and left Him to die alone, their state of mind is clearly spelt out for us in Luke Ch 24 v 21, "but we had hoped etc etc". Then there is Thomas, and what about John Ch 21. Peter, and others went back fishing, Jesus had to say "do you love me Peter". Later on yes, but even on the day that Jesus rose from the dead they were unsure. If you wish to ask me any questions, then please feel free to do so either on this website, or at the e-mail address, given in my Profile. May the Lord bless you. ebrain. |

227 | The difference between Allah and God | Matt 5:44 | ebrain | 164342 | ||
We are told to "love our enemies". Ask to be shown a similar verse in their book. Only if our Lord is doing a work in their hearts is there any possibility of your being able to help them. Read Eph 6:12,and 1st Cor 2:14, you carn't, He can, read also Luke 24:45, if He does not open their minds, there is nothing that you can do about it. I am sorry if I sound negative, but these are the facts, we are involved in the supernatural, to find out it is done, read John 15:5,and John 5:30, learn how He did it, and you will find out how you can do it. |

Read John Ch 8 vs 2-11. Caught in the very act, but forgiven, see also John Ch 4 vs 16-19, no condemnation of having had 6 husbands. | ||||||

The persons refereed to at this verse, and the next, are not born again Christians. Please read both verses, and then read my comments which follow. Mat 7:22 "Many will say to Me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?' Mat 7:23 "And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!' Firstly, no real genuine article born again Christian would dream of boasting of what they have done when they meet the Lord Jesus. Secondly Jesus said, "I never knew you", which means that He never entered into their body in the person of His other self, the Holy Spirit, therefore, this person was never a believer, despite what he says. Note, be very careful, just because a person has done many wonders in His name, that does not mean that he is the real thing, remember the Devil can appear like an angel of light. 2Cr 11:13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ. 2Cr 11:14 And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light. 2Cr 11:15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works. Jesus is using the expression "knew you", in the Biblical sense, see Gen 4:1 NOW Adam knew Eve his wife, and she conceived and bore Cain, and said, "I have acquired a man from the LORD." See also, Eph 1:13 In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, Eph 1:14 who* is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory. I hope that this is of help to you. ebrain |

You asked. "How can one be certain they are a genuine believer and thus certain that they are in possession of eternal security?" Mat 7:16 "You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? Mat 7:20 "Therefore by their fruits you will know them. Rom 8:16 The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, Hope this helps. ebrain. |

Hi Lookn4ward2Heaven. Thank you for your post. You said. "I did not say that Matt 7:21 referred to genuine Christians. I did say, "eternal security is provided for those who are genuine believers." I wholeheartedly agree with you, genuine believers are eternally secure. If you would like me to post a series of Bible verses that teach this, then please ask. ebrain. |

How does one know? I am sure you will have heard someone when giving their testimony say something like, "Before I became a Christian, I did from time to time open a Bible, but frankly, I just could not understand it,, it didn't seem to make any sense to me, but now that I have become a believer,, It is all together a totally different book". No it is not, it is exactly the same book that it always has been. It is you the reader who have changed, you are a "new creation", you have been "Born again", you are no longer the "natural man", referred to at . 1 Cor 2:14 But a natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually appraised. Or do you think that the Lord our God who has saved you is powerless to confirm to you the reality of your salvation? ebrain. |

You said. "Before I became a believer, as I was reading the Bible, I came to understand many verses, which understanding I still hold to be true today as a Christian". So, you claim to be a Christian.. Now let it be clearly understood that I am in no way saying that you are not, I have no right to pass such judgment, but if you are a Christian, then you will have no difficulty in answering your own questions as bellow. "The crux of my question is not “am I living and believing what Jesus was actually teaching”, but how does one know for certain that they are saved?" If as you say you are a Christian, then you must be saved, if so, then please tell me how you know for certain that you are saved? "I am discussing genuine faith itself. How does one know that the faith he professes to have in Christ is genuine so as to have obtained salvation?" Yes great, how do you know that your faith is genuine? "Therefore, the question still remains unanswered: How do I know for sure I am saved? Or, another way to put it, how can I be assured now that when I die God will take me?" Yes good question, how do you in fact know for sure that you are saved? ebrain. |

Hello again Lookn4ward2Heavn. You have asked two questions: Firstly. "Are not professing to be a Christian and assurance of final salvation two different things?" Answer. No they are not, for example you yourself told us, "I still hold to be true today as a Christian", and you also refer to yourself as, "Lookn4ward2Heavn". Now tell me, how can you be "looking forward to heaven", if you have no assurance? Secondly. "Can one be a Christian and yet not have absolute and infallible assurance of final salvation?" Answer. Again no, see answer to your first question above. Tell me how could you possibly be "looking forward to heaven", if you have no absolute and infallible assurance of final salvation?" ebrain. |

It is addressed to all christians, who are finding living the christian life very hard indeed. Paul himself had problems see Romans Ch 7 v 14 to Ch 8 v 8. As Jesus said "Without me you can do nothing" John 15:5. |

Becomming a christian does not require the abandonment of common sense, reason and logic. Our Lord knew full well that belivers even after 2000 years would still have the same problem of how to live the christian life. What is required here, and elseware is spiritual insight, and not just not acedemic knowledge. Yours in Christ. Edwin. |

Are you saying that because the word "christian" was not in use when Jesus spoke these words, that they are not applicable to christians? Please enlighten me. Christian love. Edwin. |

Here we have yet another example of quoting Scripture verses out of context, you must also read vs 29-30. Here our Lord explains that you are to take His yoke upon you, note it is "My yoke", not our, or your yoke, His yoke, the method He employes to make a heavy burden light. You are told to "Learn from Me", find out how He does it, and you will discover how you can do it. These are spiritual things, and as we are told at 1st Cor 2:14-16, spiritual things are spiritually discerned. The natural man i.e. the non christian is spiritually dead. Please explain to me Mark how a non beliver could possibly understand these verses? How can anyone other than a christian possibly take upon himself the "Yoke of Christ"? Every blessing. Edwin. |

You say that "all are able to come", if this is the case, please explain John Ch 6 vs 44 and 65, also Matt Ch 19 v 26. Love in Christ. Edwin. |

240 | Paul had problems? No one acts good? | Matt 11:28 | ebrain | 164534 | ||
If you read the Scripture passage indicated, you will know exactly what I mean. 1. "The good that I want to do, I don't do, the evil that I don't want to do that is what I find myself doing". This is Pauls problem, it is also your problem, and mine. 2. When our Lord said "you can do nothing" He ment exactly what He said, that you are not able to do anything. From a human point of view we are certainly able to do "good" (morally virtuous acts) but not however from the Divine point of view. Please refer to Mark Ch 10 vs 17-18, also Romans Ch 3 vs 10-12, Paul here is quoting Psalm 14 vs 1-3, and Psalm 53 v 1-3. |
