462 | God is the source | John 1:3 | humbledbyhisgrace | 195241 | ||
Greetings nightjay! Yes, all things come from God! (Romans 11:33-36, John 1:3, Colossians 1:16, Revelation 4:11) Mankind has a tendency to puff himself up and think highly of himself and his accomplishments. We tend to fall into the trap of believing in our own abilities when in fact even our ability to rise in the morning and work the fields so to speak is by the hand of God we do so! What has mankind produced and/or discovered that God has not provided? I know of nothing! God bless, Steve |

464 | If you have never learned of the Trinity | John 3:16 | humbledbyhisgrace | 166377 | ||
There are many different doctrines taught throughout the bible and all I believe are important for us to learn and understand. After all, each one is the word of God. I would encourage you to do a study on Salvation. There are many places on the web that offer free studies on this subject and can point you to many of the scriptures speaking to this subject. It's my belief the scriptures teach us that it's only through the shed blood of Jesus Christ that our sins are forgiven (Ephesians 1:7) and there is nothing we can do to earn that forgiveness of sin on our own, it is a gift from God Himself (Ephesians 2:8-9) and that if we confess Jesus as our Lord and believe in our heart God raised Him from the dead, we will be saved! (Romans 10:9-10). Please do not misunderstand me regarding the doctrine of the Trinity. I am not saying this is not important nor something you should disregard. I'm only attempting to point out the word of God to my understanding does not require the belief or understanding of the trinity to be saved. However, I will also state that I do believe the bible teaches us what we (mankind) refer to as the triune God. One God in three distinct persons (Father, Son, Holy Spirit). Your Brother in Christ, Steve |

Hello Ruth, Good point about the knowledge of the Trinity enhancing our walk with God! Amen! This was also my thoughts regarding the many doctrines we find throughout the word of God. As God increases our knowledge of Him we are truly enhanced spiritually! All the more reason to continue to dig into His word and seek to understand Him better. God Bless! Your Brother in Christ, Steve |

Greetings shing! As a matter of fact, yes I do love to learn the word of God and I can understand your joy found in His word and in Him! Mind if I ask what you learned about God's anger from this verse? You said you were surprised so I'm curious if you understand that God's anger is a righteous anger not to be confused with the unrighteous variety we as sinners sometimes have. God bless and stay in the word with me and the other brothers and sisters in Christ. One day we will see the Lord God and stand before Him and worship Him together! Amen! Until then, we will read His word and learn all we can from His written word. By Faith, Steve |

Greetings once again shing! Thank you for your blessings and yes, I am too thankful for all the Lord God has done for us and continues to do for us. I have to say though, I fear your teaching for yourself and for others you may teach this to. Based on your statement "Those are the sinners my friend. Praise God I am not a sinner." what would you do with this passage of scripture? 1 John 1:8-10 (ESV) 1:8 If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1:10 If we say we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us. Who do you think 1 John was written to, believers or none believers ? (Believers!) Also, consider 1 Corinthians 3:1-3 (ESV) 3:1 But I, brothers, could not address you as spiritual people, but as people of the flesh, as infants in Christ. 3:2 I fed you with milk, not solid food, for you were not ready for it. And even now you are not yet ready, 3:3 for you are still of the flesh. For while there is jealousy and strife among you, are you not of the flesh and behaving only in a human way? The above passage is written to believers (See 1 Corinthians 1:2). 2 Corinthians 7:1 (ESV) Since we have these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from every defilement of body and spirit, bringing holiness to completion in the fear of God. Again, the above passage is speaking to believers, yet evidently believers still contending with sin. There are other scriptures as well which speak to believers yet believers with sin found in them. For your consideration! God bless, Steve |

470 | The Book of 1 John | John 3:16 | humbledbyhisgrace | 181748 | ||
Greetings shing! Pointing to 1 John 3 does not answer the question. This does not negate the scriptures I ask you to consider regarding a believer sinning. When reading 1 John 3 give consideration to these two words as you read it. “abides” and “practices”. I think if you do it should help you understand it better. As you have presented it you appear to be saying this teaches something different then what the verses I pointed out to you does. Consider the scriptures I have pointed out and add to that 1 John 2:1 1 John 2:1 (NASB) 2:1 My little children, I am writing these things to you that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous; Did you happen to read that one when you read the whole book? The scripture clearly reads “…And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father…” Like the other verses I referenced, it is clear from scripture the believer still sins. Again I ask you, what do you do with the scriptures I have pointed out? You point to 1 John 3 but that does not answer the question nor does it put away the clear teaching of the scriptures I referenced. If you think that it does please explain your teaching. Thanks and by the way, thank you again for your blessings. God bless you as well and may He bless us both as we discuss His word. By Faith, Steve |

Greetings shing! You said "What I would do with 1 Cor is first of all know what Paul writing about and why. These are spirital babies, who have allowed sin in the church. Paul is trying to counsel and discipline God's children that haven't grown up yet." Would you agree that these "spiritual babies" are Christians, born again believers every bit as much a child of God as you or any other child of God is? You said "2Cor Pauling is defending himself and telling the church to grow up and act like mature children of God without sin like we are suppose to be." Again, are these not believers, born again children of God Paul is speaking to? shing, if these are born again children of God which the scriptures clearly say they are do you still maintain the believer does not sin? By Faith, Steve |

Shing, You have an interesting approach to discussing the word of God for a sinless person. You make the point I am trying to make to you. You make a false claim you cannot back with scripture. When confronted with scripture you fail to address it, i.e. you are not willing to be taught by scripture. You instead do as you accuse me of doing and that is, you reject the clear teaching of scripture. You are the one who chooses to pick and choose the scriptures. If not then why do you continue to avoid the scriptures presented in this discussion? I don’t wish to play games with God’s word. There are more then enough people out there twisting it and playing with it as if it’s a toy. I believe it to be the very word of God given to mankind. I am humbled by it, awed by it, amazed at it, ever trying to learn and understand it, but I refuse to play games with it as I believe we are to respect it and seek to learn and understand it and to help others to do so as well. I make no claims to be the authority over it, but I grow tired of so many so called “sinless”, “Christian” people and their games. This forum is intended for Bible Study. We as brothers and sisters in Christ may not agree on everything but the intent here is to study and discuss the word of God. It’s not a stage for false teachings. By Faith, Steve |

shing, I think you mean Proverbs 22:24 (ESV) Make no friendship with a man given to anger, nor go with a wrathful man, I'm sure that was just a typo but I wanted to add the correct scripture reference for others that may read along :-) By the way, I'm not angry. I was only trying to discuss the word of God with you. It is good for brothers and sisters to discuss the word of God and help each other understand. For one, none of us know it all so to conduct oneself as if they do is helpful to no one. There are many who read along with each post so it is good to ensure we do the best we can to accurately teach and discuss the word. And when another brother or sister points us to scripture that clearly teaches something different then what we are teaching or believe to be true we must be willing to forego our pride and accept the truth taught in scripture. If you disagree with a teaching then your disagreement should be backed up with scripture in order to bring out the truth. Even then we (the brothers and sisters in Christ) still may find ourselves in disagreement. However, I believe that God will bless us through our honest attempt to understand His truth and will lead us into that truth as we all continue to seek it. As I said, I'm not angry so please don't confuse what I say as anger. I have tried to discuss the word of God with you, I have also read your post to others. You come across as if you are unwilling to be taught by scripture. I pray that is not true but so far it appears to be so. By Faith, Steve |

475 | Why Did god call jesus his begotten sun? | John 3:16 | humbledbyhisgrace | 209257 | ||
The Son is not an Angel! He is God the Son! Angels are created beings. Created by God! Note that even the passage you point to teaches who did the creating! See John 1:1-3 also. He is not the FIRST son of God, He is the ONLY begotten Son of God! (John 3:16, John 3:18). He was not "founded" as you say, even the scripture you point to shows that. Jehovah Witness teach it like you do. Are you a Jehovah Witness? Steve |

476 | Why Did god call jesus his begotten sun? | John 3:16 | humbledbyhisgrace | 211364 | ||
Mark, Scripture does not teach Jesus the Christ, the only begotten Son of God was created! None of the passages you reference teach this and indeed no passage of scripture will teach it. Hebrews 1:3 says that He (Jesus) is the "radiance of His glory and the exact representation of His nature". Exact representation does not allow for the concept the He was created. In fact, to be the "exact representation" clearly proclaims the deity of Jesus. John 1:1-3 should help clear this up for you. John 1:1-3 (NASB) 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 1:2 He was in the beginning with God. 1:3 All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being. The Word spoken of here is Jesus the Son of God and it clearly says the Word was God. Verse 2 clearly tells us He was in the beginning with God. All things! Don't miss this! ALL THINGS came into being through Him and nothing came into being but through Him. He did not create Himself! Scripture clearly teaches that Christ Jesus is indeed God. He God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit are eternal. From eternity past to eternity future Christ Jesus was and will be! Hope this helps. Steve |

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 |

479 | People in Prosperity/vs in Poverty | John 9:3 | humbledbyhisgrace | 182603 | ||
Greetings bluestar! Jesus disciples ask a question similar to yours. Consider their question and Jesus answer. John 9:1-3 (NASB95) 1 As He passed by, He saw a man blind from birth. 2 And His disciples asked Him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he would be born blind?" 3 Jesus answered, "It was neither that this man sinned, nor his parents; but it was so that the works of God might be displayed in him. The reason I offered this scriptures is to point out we need to try to understand these things spiritually and not of the flesh. Trying to reason these things based on our own understanding will, in my opinion never lead us to the truth. I might add that someone being born in a prosperous country is not a guarantee they do not suffer. I do agree that many more do suffer in some parts of the world then others in regards to many things. The fact is, our disobedience to God has caused all of us to suffer. Consider again the scripture passage John 9:1-3 and add to it verse 4. John 9:4 John 9:4 (NASB95) We must work the works of Him who sent Me as long as it is day; night is coming when no one can work. We know our fellow man suffers. Are we doing our part as a child of God? Ephesians 2:10 (NASB95) For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them. There is much we can do to glorify our Father! God bless, Steve |
