801 | Pastor preaches about men body parts! | Luke 22:26 | jlhetrick | 172949 | ||
Hello Searcher, Thanks for clarifying. Still, it was the language that I was refering too. I agree that we should speak up when we believe anyone (including Pastors) are teaching false teachings. But we shouldn't do it "in their face". It was only the language that I was having a hard time with. We never know who is reading our posts and how they will take it so we should be as clear and appropriate as possible. Thanks for clarifying, God bless, Jeff |

803 | Pastor preaches about men body parts! | Luke 22:26 | jlhetrick | 172912 | ||
Hey Searcher, Bear with me on this brother; but I am getting a similar kind of presentation from you that Bereaniam's pastor reportedly presented regarding what makes a "real man"(minus the vulgarities and lack of tact). What I mean is, you seem eager to point to Scripture that shows the "mocho" side of Jesus. I may be reading into it, but it seems like you are qualifying Jesus as a "real man" based on the aggressive or potentially aggressive and even war-like aspects. Remember, Jesus "could have called more than twelve legions of angels" but He did not. He did drive out the money changers. But He also healed the blind man, the lepar, the woman with the issue of blood and others and He fead the hungry. Compassion would seem to have been His more prominate characteristic when He walked among men. And you might be reading in to John 18:4-8. Or perhaps I have; but I do not believe their was a thing to do with His masculinity that caused the soldiers to fall to the ground. I think it had all to do with His saying "I am He". Finally, your statement, "I never have a problem standing in the face of any preacher." Sounds a little arrogant. Your best advised to consider preachers called of God (even though we might believe that some of them are not) and demonstrate a proper respect in dealing with them. When we feel it proper to confront a preacher, a posturing "in the face" would be most inappropriate. I follow your posts and feel I have come to know something about you through our Forum encounters. I do not view you as an arrogant, macho, "in your face" type at all and am not insinuating such. But those who don't know better of you might go away with the wrong opinion of you from this post. God bless and brotherly love, Jeff |

805 | God and His creation | 1 Cor 7:1 | jlhetrick | 172875 | ||
Hello Corin, Trinity is not God's emotinoal companion. Trinity is the language given to identify the three persona of God (Father, Son, Holy Spirit). God does have emotions, but they are not limited as ours are. That is, they depend on nothing. When I get "angry" and act, my actions may be unjust and sinful. When God acts in anger, both his anger and actions are righteous and just. God needs nothing, including companionship. This is not to say He does not desire companionship, but He does not require it. The purpose of God's creation is far and above any need for companionship. It is to express His glory and to give honor and praise to Himself. We were created not for the purpose of keeping God company, but to worship Him. This may sound egotistical, but only until you begin to know Him and understand His sovereignty. God is sovereign; He is merciful and full of Grace. He loves us with an undieing love. He has created us and He has saved us. That is more than enough reason for Him to expect and for us to give praise and honor through our continual worship of Him. I hope this helps, Jeff |

got_truth, What is your point here. Are you saying that Paul "lied" to the Thessalonians. That he didn't really mean it, but just threw them a bone to warm and fuzzy their poor distrubed thoughts about death? ???? ????????? Sincerely, Jeff |

815 | What is the history behind the Holy Trin | Gen 1:1 | jlhetrick | 172637 | ||
Hello got_truth, Are you sure your screen name should not be GET_truth. I would like to offer some advice that may be helpful in doing just that for you. Establish your doctrines and beliefs based on what scripture teaches. When you depend on Secular encyclopedias how could you expect to get truth. Honestly, sir/ma'm, this is one of the most rediculous posts I have seen on this or any other CHRISTIAN forum. Quoting a bunch of secular publications and then declaring the truth of Scripture invalid? ???? ?????? I'm afraid that you do not appear yet able to say "got_milk". 1 Corinthians 3:2 (NASB95) 3:2 I gave you milk to drink, not solid food; for you were not yet able to receive it. Indeed, even now you are not yet able,.... Hebrews 5:12-14 (NASB95) 5:12 For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you have need again for someone to teach you the elementary principles of the oracles of God, and you have come to need milk and not solid food. 13 For everyone who partakes only of milk is not accustomed to the word of righteousness, for he is an infant. 14 But solid food is for the mature, who because of practice have their senses trained to discern good and evil. Please heed 2 Timothy 2:15. Sincerely, Jeff |

816 | In Jesus' name...except baptism? | Col 3:17 | jlhetrick | 172602 | ||
Hello yyuryyicururyy4me, Welcome to the forum and God bless your efforts. There are no rules against replying to a post that is several years old, CDBJ was only pointing out that you may not receive a response from the person you were replying to. Anyway, to address you ascertions. Basic premise. Never, that is never ever, attempt to establish a doctrine based on a single verse. Especially when your verse says exactly the opposite of what you are trying to argue. The very verse you reference to argue "Jesus only baptism" is the quoted words of our Lord Himself. And what does He say? Mat 28:19 Go ye therefore, and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them into the name of the FATHER, and of the SON and of the HOLY SPIRIT:" (emphasis added) The "scripture about the name" rational that you gave actually defeats your argument. Your right though, the Bible does not contradict itself. That is why it is important for you to understand it in context and not in light of a single verse or even random verses. Why did Jesus tell the disciples to baptize in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost? I'll encourage you to study some to find that answer. Here are some hints: 1. The Trinity 2. One calls from grace 3. Grace works through the work of One 4. By grace One works to creat the regeneration in believers. The physical act of baptism is symbolic only of the thing that occurs through numbers 2-4 in the above list. In another post you wrote that you hoped you were wrong...But you believe Baptism is essential for salvation. Be at peace, you are wrong. Baptism is certainly a work. It's something we do. It is a work that demonstrates what has already happened to us. The work of it demonstrates that a work has been accomplished and is being accomplised; it does not accomplish and does not contribute to the accomplishing. Please consider James chapter 2 in your study. Also consider the very words of Jesus on the cross when He said to the thief, "Today shalt thou be with me in paradise. (Luke 23:43). This man was not taken down and baptized before his death. Anyway, another hint about forum use. The "Search" box in the top right hand corner is very helpful. Try typing in baptism for example and you might be surprised at how much has been written on this subject. That will help in your study as well. God bless, welcome to the forum, Jeff |

818 | Are we presenting the gospel scripturaly | John 1:12 | jlhetrick | 172353 | ||
Hello John, The question is actually intriquing. Actually, I have never considered this. ACTUALLY, I have used this wording to guide some that have come to me asking how to be saved. This was early on in my Christian life and I always explained the gospel message to them. I now begin always with Romans 10:9-10. The bible speaks volumes about the heart and clearly demonstrates the heart as the "place" where our true wickedness is found and manifested from. Matthew 5:28, 6:21, 12:34, etc. The bible also tells us that the Word of the Kingdom is sown in the heart (Matt. 13:19). Of course, we know from the parables teaching that this "sowing" is not in and of itself salvation, as the devil is able to snatch it away from some. It makes perfect sense that we would understand that it is the heart that must be filled, cleaned and changed. But simply mouthing the words "Jesus, come into my heart" like we have heard from many a pulpit and over many a radio wave, falls far short of being sufficient. Makes me wonder how many other unscriptural adages I may have still functioning within my vocabulary.????????? Something to consider when I pray. Thanks for the post, Jeff |

819 | Judas | Luke 23:43 | jlhetrick | 172200 | ||
Hi Kalos, Very good sir. This is exactly my experience. I have a biological brother who participates on the forum (he pointed me to it). He and I were talking and have agreed on as much as you have said here. I count my time (just over a year now) on the forum as one of the most significant blessings I have received. (SHOUT OUT TO LOCKMAN!) In the beginning, I was often offended by the way members responded to others (as some of my posts will testify too). I still see inappropriate responses from time to time (and probably have made some); but overall, what I see, is a holding to accountability that seems to be missing in the churches I have experienced. I am currently struggling with a certain doctrine right now, based on the way it has been presented here on the forum. I will not mention it because it has been discussed at length on the forum and I am doing a private study to help me understand. The point is not to establish that I am right, but to be established in what is right and true. I work toward that goal daily. Thanks for the contributions that you have made to that. God bless, Jeff |

820 | Is salvation an ongoing event | 1 Cor 1:23 | jlhetrick | 172190 | ||
Lionheart, Agreed, as you say, "the ongoing process is our relationship and walk with God. Hopefully it's growing and maturing on a daily basis." Exactly right. This is the process of sanctification. Thanks, Jeff |
