521 | why jesus had not allowed mary to touch | John 20:17 | humbledbyhisgrace | 202595 | ||
Sure I would think so! But I would argue they will not find fun in deception, intentional or non-intentional. The risk is great and the consequences deadly (Genesis 3, Isaiah 59:2, Romans 6:23, Romans 2:5-11, Matthew 18:6, Luke 17:1-2, Old Covenant, New covenant, etc...)! I hope your understanding the point in all this! If you are my brother in Christ, I care about you deeply and if not, then I fear for you greatly. Steve |

call2faith, NO! Absolutely NOT! We must never say the Lord God is unclean! For it is impossible that the Holy Righteous One of God can be! (1 John 1:5, 2 Corinthians 5:21, Hebrews 4:15, Hebrews 7:26, 1 Peter 1:19, 1 Peter 2:22, 1 Peter 3:18, 1 John 2:1, 1 John 3:5, Acts 3:14, Acts 4:30, Acts 7:52, Acts 13:35) Think this through and study out the scriptures. You need to understand what the word of God says about our Lord Jesus Christ. Be on guard of your thoughts that have no biblical truth to back them up. There is but one who would have you think so little of the Lord Jesus! Steve |

Greetings johnboy36, Welcome to the Study Bible Forum! It would have appeared to you just like it did to the eye witnesses that were there! See verse 9 below to see what scripture says they saw. Acts 1:9-11 (NASB) 1:9 And after He had said these things, He was lifted up while they were looking on, and a cloud received Him out of their sight. 1:10 And as they were gazing intently into the sky while He was going, behold, two men in white clothing stood beside them. 1:11 They also said, "Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? This Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven, will come in just the same way as you have watched Him go into heaven." Hebrews 9:24 (NASB) For Christ did not enter a holy place made with hands, a mere copy of the true one, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us How old are you? Steve |

And it can be said you are just the last to prove the scriptures are true! 1 Corinthians 2:14 (NASB) 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. Romans 8:6-8 (NASB) 6 For the mind set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace, 7 because the mind set on the flesh is hostile toward God; for it does not subject itself to the law of God, for it is not even able to do so, 8 and those who are in the flesh cannot please God. Here are the facts since you are into “FACTS”! 1 Corinthians 15:3-19 (NASB) 3 For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4 and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, 5 and that He appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. 6 After that He appeared to more than five hundred brethren at one time, most of whom remain until now, but some have fallen asleep; 7 then He appeared to James, then to all the apostles; 8 and last of all, as to one untimely born, He appeared to me also. 9 For I am the least of the apostles, and not fit to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 10 But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me did not prove vain; but I labored even more than all of them, yet not I, but the grace of God with me. 11 Whether then it was I or they, so we preach and so you believed. 12 Now if Christ is preached, that He has been raised from the dead, how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? 13 But if there is no resurrection of the dead, not even Christ has been raised; 14 and if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is vain, your faith also is vain. 15 Moreover we are even found to be false witnesses of God, because we testified against God that He raised Christ, whom He did not raise, if in fact the dead are not raised. 16 For if the dead are not raised, not even Christ has been raised; 17 and if Christ has not been raised, your faith is worthless; you are still in your sins. 18 Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. 19 If we have hoped in Christ in this life only, we are of all men most to be pitied. If you think so highly of mankind do us a favor and simply create from nothing a seed, plant it and grow for yourself food to sustain you. By the way, the seed must be created by you not taken from that which has already been created. Also, you must create your own water and dirt to plant and feed the seed. You must give it life that it may grow and produce its fruits. Let us know how it turns out! Steve |

532 | Decisional regeneration? | Acts 2:38 | humbledbyhisgrace | 169748 | ||
Hey Brother, I hear what your saying and I would agree with you that we should stay with the scripture (Romans 10:17). I think many times some tend to try and sum up what the scripture says and we tend to use catch phrases that have been introduced throughout time. I guess I should not speak as if I know the motivation or reasoning of other men but I do believe in the power of God's word (Hebrews 4:12, Isaiah 55:11) and have experienced it myself so I personally would agree repeating it as it is written is the way it should be delivered. We need not fear the lack of understanding on the part of another because we know that without God revealing His truth to us we will never understand it to the point of belief unless He Himself opens our heart to it and draws us to Him and gives us the faith to believe (John 6:44-45 Romans 12:3, Ephesians 2:8). You said "I know that people mean well but that just isn’t the way to be saved. Ephes. 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:" This scripture does not exactly tell someone how to be saved either (Was that your point or am I misinterpreting you?). It tells them they are saved by faith, but faith in what? It tells them that it is nothing they do on their own but that it's a gift from God. Isn't this scripture speaking to those already saved? Is it required that someone know and understand that salvation is a gift from God before they receive this gift or is the fact they know and understand that Christ died for their sins and was buried and that He was raised on the third day and that they believe this in their heart and confess Him as Lord that is important? How could one ever understand the depth of the gift of salvation without first having God reveal it to them? Forgive me if I've drifted off subject and/or misinterpreted you. Your Brother in Christ, Steve |

Hey Brother, Yes, they are great verses and yes, I will stand with you and shout that we are blessed and He is a "fantastic" Saviour! Quick question, what was it I said that you are elaborating on? |

534 | Tongues mean Holy Spirit? | Acts 2:38 | humbledbyhisgrace | 181696 | ||
Greetings WTB! Consider this. The gifts are not given by man and neither does man have the authority to determine who does and who doesn't receive them, when they receive them, or which ones they receive. Neither are the gifts conjured up as some hocus pocus magic show. Your only rebellious when you go against God. Stay strong in your faith in Him and His word! God bless! By Faith, Steve |

536 | Fellowship with God or man? | Acts 2:42 | humbledbyhisgrace | 196194 | ||
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS as you put it) is a non-Christian cult. Yes, you may find them to be nice people, but when they lead you from the truth of God and what His word says, how do they really stack up? Dear, if what you seek is fellowship with man then this is what you will find. Unfortunately, this is not what will bring you peace that only fellowship with God and His people can bring. I'll grant you that the state of the church in America at this time is disturbing. But if what you are seeking is to be served then you are going about it all wrong. It is you that should be seeking to serve the King and His people. Go in among them and point them back to God! For your edification, take a look at this web site for more info on the LDS cult http://www.carm.org/mormon.htm Steve 2 Corinthians 11:13-15 (NASB) 11:13 For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. 11:14 No wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. 11:15 Therefore it is not surprising if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness, whose end will be according to their deeds. |

537 | Forgiven or not Forgiven? | Acts 5:31 | humbledbyhisgrace | 170304 | ||
Greetings Brother! I would agree we are not forgiven because of remorse or sorrow or guilt but rather because repentance is a gift from God (Acts 5:31, Acts 11:18). Is it not the remorse, sorrow, guilt, etc... and understanding of whom we have sinned against that leads us to repent? Steve |

538 | explanation needed | Acts 8:37 | humbledbyhisgrace | 215434 | ||
The Greek aorist participle, epikalesamenos, translated calling on His name refers either to action which is simultaneous with or before that of the main verb. Here Paul’s calling on Christ’s name (for salvation) preceded his water baptism. The participle may be translated, “having called on His name.”—Bible Knowledge Commentary Acts 8:34-37 (NASB) 8:34 The eunuch answered Philip and said, "Please tell me, of whom does the prophet say this? Of himself or of someone else?" 8:35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and beginning from this Scripture he preached Jesus to him. 8:36 As they went along the road they came to some water; and the eunuch said*, "Look! Water! What prevents me from being baptized?" 8:37 [And Philip said, "If you believe with all your heart, you may." And he answered and said, "I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God."] Note in the above passage that "If you believe with all your heart, you may". Faith does not come through baptism... Romans 10:14-17 (NASB) 10:14 How then will they call on Him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in Him whom they have not heard? And how will they hear without a preacher? 10:15 How will they preach unless they are sent? Just as it is written, "HOW BEAUTIFUL ARE THE FEET OF THOSE WHO BRING GOOD NEWS OF GOOD THINGS!" 10:16 However, they did not all heed the good news; for Isaiah says, "LORD, WHO HAS BELIEVED OUR REPORT?" 10:17 So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ. Ephesians 2:8-9 (NASB) 2:8 For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; 2:9 not as a result of works, so that no one may boast. Steve |

539 | Abstaining from things strangled, blood? | Acts 15:20 | humbledbyhisgrace | 192133 | ||
WOS, Just so happens I was preparing for a Sunday School lesson a few weeks ago and the lesson was in Acts. Although it did not cover this passage of scripture I was reading through several chapters and came across this passage. One of the commentaries I looked at pointed to the Noahic Covenant (Genesis 9) (?) I'm no expert on the scriptures and know less about the OT then the NT but are we not still under the Noahic covenant? Also, I've been trying to research the Noahic Covenant and understand it better and based on what I have found so far I'm not even sure what verses this would include. I've seen it listed as Genesis 9 and also Genesis 8:20—9:17. Genesis 9:4 is what the commentary was pointing to regarding Acts 15:20 that got me interested in your post. I expect to learn something from this post as I'm sure the more learned among us will help me on this but I found the post interesting as I was just recently looking at it so I jumped feet first just to get these thoughts / questions out there :-) If not for His grace, could I stand at all?

540 | How did the Jews identify the Uncircumci | Acts 16:3 | humbledbyhisgrace | 192433 | ||
Greetings birdy! Welcome to the Study Bible Forum! I don't know the answer to the question so I'm speculating :-) but perhaps it was by confession and based on their "walk with God" it was confirmed in the minds of the Jews. I really don't know but wanted to jump in here and promote a different question to your class. Take the discussion in your class a bit farther and ask the question, how can you know there has been a circumcision of the heart with one today? Can you truly know? Include yourselves when asking the question! See Also Acts 15:1-12, Romans 4:9-12 and Galatians 2:15-21 as your class discusses circumcision. God Bless, Steve |
