901 | Did Jesus suffer in hell when he died? | Luke 23:46 | gracefull | 65079 | ||
Dear Justme.. how do you define the term cult from the christian perspective. I define a cult as any group or organization that denies the divinity of Jesus, and that He is the only way to the Father, that the Bible is not God breathed, God inspired and the final authority for all doctrine, the trinity(God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit), the virgin birth... The pastors and teachers on this site agree with this basic Chirstian foundation. The differences of scriptural interpretation do not conflict with these basic doctrines. Care to clarify your interpretation of cult? |

"I would advise anyone to think twice..." John 16:12-14 I have many things to say unto you, but you cannot bear them now. Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself: but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will show you things to come... Proverbs 11:14Where there is no counsel, the people fall: But in the multitude of counselors there is safety. God has not given us the spirit of fear... I believe we should not limit ourselves to one line of thought when the Holy Spirit begins to lead us to question and search. If our hearts desire is to know God more intimately and prayerfully research, God will reveal truth and error by the Holy Spirit. I believe much of the 'orthodoxy' is doctrines of men and not necessarily revealed truth. This is more the reason for the division among Christians than seekers who do not accept doctrine without examination in the light of the Holy Spirit. |

Good morning John: John 10:11 His Sheep...I am reasonably sure we do not disagree here. Hebrews 2:5-10 ...Declares Jesus 'a little lower than the angels, and that he tasted death for all man. Mark 16:16 He that believeth shall be saved and he that believeth not shall be damned. (not exact quote) Jesus the sinless man took upon himself the punishment for the sins of all mankind.. the price has been paid for everyone, but everyone will not believe and accept His sacrifice. Jesus was God.. Absolutely, and He was also man. He was body soul and spirit just like us, and also was diety. I submit that the penalty for sin is eternal death (seperation from the Father eternally). Do we agree on that? That Adam's punishment was the severed intimate personal relationship with the Father? Why is it infathomable that the sinless lamb had to pay the same price? The difference being the fact that He was sinless and He was the second person of the diety so the grave (hell) had no legal claim to Him so it could not hold Him? 1Corinthians 2:7-9 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto glory: Which non of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of Glory. 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. I submit that human reasoning does NOT accept that Jesus ( the man) died spiritually and Jesus (God) raised Him from the dead. Charles G. Finney states,"The divine declaration, 'if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature,' can never become, in it's full sense, a reality in actual experience, so long as Gethsemane and Calvary present a no more melting spectacle to the mind, than that of a human sufferer." I will be glad to continue this discussion, however, I have limited time so my input may be slow and limited. This was why I sent the original questioner to the apologetic because it is so indepth and could do this important subject more justice than I feel I can. But I do love sharing what I believe the Holy Spirit has shown me. God bless you, |

You made a couple of good points that I really had not noticed. The landowner agreed upon wages for the first, and the others he said he would pay them whatever is right. But I think where I trip up is If this parable is 'about' children of the kingdom how does the extended statement..many are called but few chosen...I read a commentary that said the landowner was rewarding for exemplary labor of the latter and less than par performance of the first, but I don not agree with that because this implies 'earned' rather than 'grace'. Is the latter the children of grace of the new covenant compared to the children of the law under the old covenant? Ours is not 'wages' but 'generosity'. If this is the case how does many are called but few chosen fit? Are there 'chosen' among believers? Or are new covenant believers under grace the 'chosen' with chosen meaning 'receivers of grace'? | ||||||
905 | Non-denominational theology? | John 3:16 | gracefull | 65001 | ||
Denomination-Has 'governing head' over more than one local body. Non-deniminational are independent with their governing body within. As Ed said theology varies from church to church. Make sure of the basic foundational truth. Jesus the Christ, the only atonement for sin and the only way to the Father, and the Bible is the Holy Spirit breathed word of God and all doctrine must be derived from it. |

906 | A saint that won't forgive | Matt 5:23 | gracefull | 65000 | ||
The only one that comes to mind in a hurry is James 5:16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. Also Matthew 5:23-25 (paraphrased) If you bring you gift to the alter and remember your brother has ought against you, leave the gift and go be reconciled to thy brother. Otherwise the adersary could have an avenue to harrass. It is very hard to do this sometimes but pride is the obstacle. and odviously pride cannot be tolerated if growth is to continue. |

I would like to reccomend a website that has some excellent and indepth apologetics..one of which deals with this question. www.evangelizeamerica.org Click on Apologetics and scroll down to "Did Jesus Die Spiritually". Let me ask some question? Did Jesus take upon Himself the sins of all mankind (past, present, and future)? Did Jesus tell the disciples "Touch me not for I have not yet ascended to my Father.."?John 20:17 Was physical death the only penalty for the sin of Adam or did he die spiritually? If he died spiritually then why would God only require physical death of Jesus? If physical death was the only penalty, we would all pay that upon our own physical deaths. Was the powerful resurrection of Jusus the firstborn spiritual ressurection? 1 Collosians 12-18 Just points to ponder. We often do not step back and observe the overview message of the Old and New Testament (the single thread weaving throughout). Adam fell and died spiritually and the blood af animals only gave them a point of reference looking forward to Jesus by faith, who would bring about the spiritual rebirth of the dead. I believe this apologetic will be very helpul because there are many scripture references. God bless |

Hi Ray, I usually study mainly from the King James but like the ARSV as an extention. I also refer to the New King James. But I am from the old school and prefer the King James as my final authority. I wil certainly look at the comparison passages you suggested. Thank You. PS I think this is a really good forum. the best one I have found so far. God Bless |

Robert, here in this parable is clearly about salvation, but in the parable of the laborers in chapter 20 Jesus is speaking of those in the kingdom 'arriving for their reward'. This seems to be refering to believers who resent other believers for receiving the same rewards. And I just can't seem to make that last line fit unless there is a translation problem. This is why I went to the NASB and the Amplified, which helped none at all. I believe prayon may have hit on the point.Let's look further. I wil also research the Greek translation. Thanks for your help. | ||||||

I am having dificulty reconciling the last part (For many are called, but few are chosen) to the rest of the text. i understand the parable, but do not see how this fits. Thanks | ||||||
