661 | Is it wrong to consult fortune tellers? | Deut 18:10 | humbledbyhisgrace | 178638 | ||
Greetings Sister! I did read your post. That's what prompted the request! Keep in mind, they are still there for all to see and they will remain for a long time. If you watch this forum long enough you will see someone respond to a post that was actually posted years ago. Just goes to show you never know who or when someone may actually read a post and if His word is taught accurately then the opportunity to teach and share with others goes far beyond the person you are talking with at that time. I do understand the zeal to share the word of our Lord God with others. I thank Him I too have this hunger for His word and to share it with others. My prayer is that we all handle it properly so that it may bring glory to the Lord God and that we all may grow in knowledge of His truth! Amen? God Bless, Steve |

662 | historical Jesus? | John 8:58 | humbledbyhisgrace | 178633 | ||
softballqt, You said "I am leaning towards Jesus as being a teacher of secret knowledge... any thoughts?" Perhaps you are leaning in the wrong direction. I'm glad you ask for scripture proof! Start with His birth! Luke 1:34-35 (NASB95) 1:34 Mary said to the angel, "How can this be, since I am a virgin?" 1:35 The angel answered and said to her, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; and for that reason the holy Child shall be called the Son of God. There are many more scriptures that speak to who Jesus is. But for now, based on this scripture, who would you say Jesus is? Steve |

Greetings Sister! Please, please, please think about this. You almost never point to scripture in your post. Some may be familiar enough with scripture to know what you refer to. Many who read along may not. It will also help cut down on confusion. As is, it comes across as your opinion with no scripture reference to back it up. If your intent is to teach the word of God, present it as such so the unlearned can be edified through God’s word. I pray you see my point and take this as it is intended! Your Brother in Christ, Steve |

664 | Are Human Beings responsible for Sin..? | Gen 2:16 | humbledbyhisgrace | 178598 | ||
Were they punished for "knowing" good and evil or for disobedience to God? Genesis 2:16-17 16 The LORD God commanded the man, saying, "From any tree of the garden you may eat freely; 17 but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat from it you will surely die. Did they even have to know the difference between good and evil to know what the cost would be? |

665 | Free will and predestination co-exist? | Rom 8:29 | humbledbyhisgrace | 178582 | ||
Greetings Z! You said " I am NOT supprised that you do not wish to "debate" with this kind of theology." in reference to "God brings to us the message of faith, that if we believe in our heart, and confess with our mouth, we will be saved. Just curious if you have ever read this scripture Romans 10:9? On this matter I would say Marks theology is dead on based on scripture. What say you? Your Brother in Christ, Steve |

Greetings souljourners! Dear sister, is this a miss quote? "YOU CAN SAY WITH YOUR MOUTH THAT YOU HAVE FAITH IN GOD, BUT IF YOU'RE DOING THE WORKS OF THE LORD FAITH IS OBSOLETE." Your Brother in Christ, Steve |

668 | what is the main verse in ephesians 5? | Eph 5:1 | humbledbyhisgrace | 178483 | ||
Verses 1-33. Each one of them are Holy! Each word of each verse is actually from the very God that created the heaven and earth. Is that awesome or what? Study them all, God wanted us to know each one of them! God bless, Steve |

670 | Where did our conscience come from? | Rom 2:15 | humbledbyhisgrace | 178056 | ||
Greetings rebar and welcome to the forum! The responses given were not ment to be all inclusive of every scripture related to the subject. As Brother Doc pointed out in his post, there is much that can be discussed on the subject, i.e. "This topic is a fascinating one, but ferreting out the details can get pretty involved." (taken from Doc's post). Take a look at Romans 2:14-15. Good stuff yes? It speaks right to the heart of the matter. And as the scriptures you refered to point out as well, mankind is without excuse. Thanks for your input on the subject and again, welcome to the forum! If you would, please take the time and enter a little information about yourself in your profile. This is a great place to learn and study the Word of God and to share with others as well. I think you will find there are many here that can be very helpful in learning more about the Word of God and there is always lots of opportunities to share what you know as we all continue to grow in Christ. God Bless, Steve |

Greetings Brother! Thanks for the kind words! I hear what your saying. I was searching the scriptures on this one too and then I realized I had put together a short sermon ;-) that really was not what she was asking for. Oh well, I had much fun in the effort. The Lord God truly is Good! He showed me once again as I searched His Word. In service to the King Brother! Steve |

Greetings Karrie! I offer this as something else to consider regarding your extended question. Homosexuality goes against the nature established by God. Romans 1:26-27 (NASB95) 1:26 For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, 1:27 and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error. Homosexuality is unnatural Karrie. Regardless of what mankind my say and/or how they try to paint the picture, the Word of God says it is unnatural. Even one who has exchanged the natural for the unnatural function of man and woman can clearly see it is not suppose to be that way. My guess even they buy a left shoe and a right shoe because it's obvious to them the left shoe will not fit the right foot. God Bless, Steve |

673 | The time of your visitation? | Luke 19:44 | humbledbyhisgrace | 177946 | ||
Greetings Doc! Great stuff Brother! One point in particular, "beg Him to work the power of the Word in your own life" Amen! It reminds me of a few of the older brothers and sisters in my local church. You can see it in them! They teach by example! This also applied to our Pastor who recently went Home! I learned much from his example. God bless, Steve |

674 | The time of your visitation? | Luke 19:44 | humbledbyhisgrace | 177943 | ||
Greetings Mark! "I hope I am making sense!" Yes my brother you are. I see the point(s) your making. As far as my belief / understanding of "because you did not recognize the time of your visitation." Yes I think our Lord is speaking of a particular time and that they did not recognize it. "I did not mean for you to defend Piper's statements. I apologize if that was how I came across. I will try to be more careful! :-)" Not at all. Just made the statement to help point out my only desire was to understand you on the points you raised as I didn't agree that his intent was to deflect. You have offered much to consider and I do appreciate that. I'm still digging! God Bless, Steve |

675 | The time of your visitation? | Luke 19:44 | humbledbyhisgrace | 177869 | ||
Greetings Brother Mark! Thanks for the reply. You have posted quite a bit here for me to consider. That's good! My intent is to learn and I have yet to discuss the Word of God with anyone that I have not learned from it. I'm struggling a bit with seeing the same thing you are regarding this portion. The other I'll try and address latter. You said " Doesn't that change Jesus' words from "the time of My visitation" to "the purpose of My visitation"? Since he has ably pointed out that the term "visitation" in this context carries the purpose (for salvation) within it - I agree - why he is deflecting attention from the "time" of Jesus' visitation?" You ask the question why he is deflecting attention from the "time" of Jesus visitation. Help me understand why you think he is. I personally can't speak to Brother Piper's preterist beliefs so in regards to the attributed influence I couldn't say. However, you made the point so I must ask is it safe for me to assume that your beliefs are different then his in this area and if so then it can be expected that your interpretation of either the scriptures in question and/or Brother Piper's teaching are influenced by this as well? I have no position on this myself because at this point I'm not learned enough in eschatology or the teachings of Preterism. However, I'm interested in knowing more about the "time" issue. You said this troubled you and he deflected attention from the "time" of Jesus visitation. What do you think his intent was and how do you think it affects his explanation of the passage? Before I close I want to answer your question regarding changing the words of Jesus. My intent with my questions to you is not to avoid answering the question. It's truly to understand and grasp what you are saying. At this point, I don't agree his intent was to change the words of the Lord and/or deflect attention from the time of the visitation. Also, my intent is not to be a defender of brother Piper. I'm sure he would be more pleased if I didn't as I'm hardly qualified to do so ;-) Just trying to consider your teachings on this! I think you Brother for your time and consideration for helping me in this study! God Bless, Steve |

676 | The time of your visitation? | Luke 19:44 | humbledbyhisgrace | 177825 | ||
Hey Mark, over all it's the way he laid it all out. In particular the section where he covered "visitation" and discussed the way it was used in the Old Testament and the reference to the way it was used through out the book of Luke. Also the points he makes regarding "the terms of peace". Might just be me but I've been drawn to these scriptures for over a year know and it was interesting over all to read the sermon. I think what keeps drawing me back to these scriptures is the reaction of our Lord. Steve |

677 | The time of your visitation? | Luke 19:44 | humbledbyhisgrace | 177820 | ||
Greetings Mark! Thanks for the reply and the scripture reference. Did you happen to read Brother Piper's sermon on the passage of scripture? If nothing else he brings out some interesting points on the passage worth looking into. You may be familiar with the sermon or even the things he discusses. I just found it interesting because I first read this passage of scripture over a year ago and I keep coming back to it. It's one of those passages that just stayed with me and draws me back from time to time. Anyway, I found the sermon notes interesting and thank God for the teachers of the Word because as many times as I had read these scriptures brother Piper brings out several things I had not considered or understood before. Oh how I love the teachers of the Word! God bless you Brother, Steve |

No need to apologize Doc! I think I know you well enough now to know that even if that was your intent it was done out of love for a brother and to redirect where one might be barking up the wrong tree ;-) Trust me, I can take the redirection should I need it! I've learned to not only accept it from those I know to be my brothers and sisters in Christ but to expect it from time to time. I hang out with the old guys at church ;-) For some reason they have taken me in as one of there own and it's as if they our out to disciple me every step of the way. Guess what I'm learning the most from them??? Patients! That's a tuff one for me! I probably should have clarified my comment of assurance with "why I can assure you!" I'll do that now to clear the air. It is a great fear I have of misleading others and of not understanding it myself. I truly want to understand the Word myself but there is also a God given desire in me to share it with others. Have you ever had to deal with a burning passion you couldn't hold back yet have a constant fear of hurting someone else out of neglect or ignorance? I'm like a blind man walking through a mine field and there is an irresistible draw to the other side that I can't ignore and I'm constantly trying to get the other blind folks to follow me :-) I don't want to hurt them but I don't want them to miss out either. God bless you brother. I've learned much from you and others on this forum. Never hesitate to teach because I'm sure there are others learning from the folks on this forum as well. Steve |

Greetings Doc! Thanks for the reply. I have read your post you mentioned in the past. As a matter of fact, I have several resources on hand related to how to study the bible also and I read them from time to time. I also saved your post in the past as a quick reference ;-) Like all areas of study this is one I'm sure I need much more time with. Application of these methods being the tricky part! Praise God for the Holy Spirit Amen? I can assure you of this, I am not one to try and dig something up that isn't there. It is true I don't understand it all but searching the scriptures for hidden codes is not at all what I do when reading the Word. If you have time, read Brother John Piper's sermon on these scriptures. I would like to hear your thoughts on his sermon if you have time. I found this online last night and thought it would be interesting to add to the discussion. Thanks again my Brother for the response! God Bless, Steve |

680 | The time of your visitation? | Luke 19:44 | humbledbyhisgrace | 177674 | ||
Greetings Brothers and Sisters! Looking for some help on this passage of scripture. Luke 19:41-44 (NASB95) 19:41 When He approached Jerusalem, He saw the city and wept over it, 19:42 saying, "If you had known in this day, even you, the things which make for peace! But now they have been hidden from your eyes. 19:43 "For the days will come upon you when your enemies will throw up a barricade against you, and surround you and hem you in on every side, 19:44 and they will level you to the ground and your children within you, and they will not leave in you one stone upon another, because you did not recognize the time of your visitation." Is it accurate to say that the time of ones visitation may be over long before ones death so to speak and that after this time of visitation the way will be hidden? I struggle to even ask the question properly :-( These are the things that stand out to me and I want to make sure I am not reading into this. Verse 44 mentions the time of ones visitation and the fact it was not recognized. Verse 42 seems to me to say judgment had already been passed for the things which make for peace were "now" hidden from their eyes. Does this apply to salvation? |
