121 | Take Your Holy Spirit from me? | Ps 51:11 | zach† | 35066 | ||
kalos Scripture seems to make a difference between the Holy Spirit being "with you" "in you" and "upon you" John 14:17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth WITH YOU, and shall be IN YOU. Acts 1:8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come UPON YOU: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. So can we ask for an explanation of the difference? In Christ zach† |

122 | Confronting sin - Scripture suggestions? | Prov 28:13 | zach† | 35633 | ||
Mommapbs; An excellent verse is Proverbs 28:13 He who conceals his transgressions will not prosper, But he who confesses and forsakes them will find compassion (NASB) Another good verse is: Psalm 32:5 I acknowledged my sin to Thee, And my iniquity I did not hide; I said, "I will confess my transgressions to the Lord"; And Thou didst forgive the guilt of my sin.

In Matthew 24:29 NASB it says: "But immediately after the tribulation" (then it goes on to say what will happen after the tribulation. Here is a list of what according to scripture will happen according to Matthew 24:29-31 NASB 1) The sun will be darkened 2) The moon will not give its light 3) The Stars will fall from the sky 4) the powers of heaven will be shaken 5) the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky 6) all the tribes of the earth will mourn 7) they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky with power and great glory 8) He will send forth His angels with a great trumpet 9) they will gather together His elect from the four winds.

125 | Mt. 27 Dead men walking | Matthew | zach† | 34614 | ||
Here is something that has puzzled me for some time now and i hope someone can provide some good answer for what I am about to ask.I will use the NASB text. (just after Christ yielded up His spirit (Mt. 27:50) Mat. 27:51-53 says: "the earth shook; and the rocks were split, and the tombs were opened; and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep (meaning they died) were raised; and coming out of the tombs after His resurrection they entered and appeared to many. Now my question is this: With such an unusual event such as this happening in Jerusalem, wouldn't you suppose more would have been written about this? I mean here were many bodies of dead saints raised to life and they entered Jerusalem and appeared to many. I can vididly imagine if that were to happen today, CNN, FOX and CNBC would be there with live coverage So why don't we find more written on this. Or has any one come across any historical writtings that might have mentioned this event? In Christ zach† |

128 | Tribulation before rapture? | Matthew | zach† | 35447 | ||
CDBJ; I agree completely. But the question I initially asked was .... Does the tribulation precede the rapture. or does the rapture precede the tribulation. Please look at Matthew 24:29-31 before answering. Grace and peace zach† |

129 | Tribulation before rapture? | Matthew | zach† | 35486 | ||
CDBJ The question I would ask is: Why does Matthew 24:29 say: Immediately after the tribulation, if what is meant is immediately after the mid-point of the tribulation? Grace and peace zach† |

Steve: Isn't that the same as more than one second coming seeing how according to that line of thinking there would be a 7 year time span between the beginning and the end of the rapture? Peace zach† |

Steve; Can you support that with scripture? Peace zach† |

132 | Tribulation before rapture? | Matthew | zach† | 35927 | ||
Steve; you are correct when you said that the "there's a time when the Lord will come in the air and take His own." and then you referred to 1 Thess. 4:16-17 which is good support for the fact that He is coming again. But at the same time, there is not any indication from those verses as to the timing of His coming. It does not say in that text, that His coming is pre-trib. As concerning Rev. 6:15-16 which you mentioned. Those verses are not referring to tribulation. Instead they talk about "the wrath of the Lamb." Wrath and tribulation are not the same thing. If you look once again in Matthew 24:29-31 you will see the proper sequence of events is: 1) the tribulation 2) the Lord's return 3) the gathering of all the elect after these events, then the wrath of God will be poured out upon the earth and it's inhabitants I urger you to do a study on the difference between "tribulation" and "wrath" Peace zach† |

133 | Self or Others? | Matt 7:14 | zach† | 34765 | ||
Dear brother charis; I think the NKJV rendition of this verse helps me to better understand this verse. The NKJV words it this way: Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it. I think Luke 13:23-24 is a good cross reference which to me sheds light on the verse in question; Luke 13:23-24 says: Lu 13:23 Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them, 24 Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able. So from these two separate texts my thoughts begin to gravitate toward a remnant that are saved. Scripture also refers to a remanant in Luke 12:32 except here it calls them a "little flock" Let me post this verse. Luke 12:32 Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom. Now lets jump back to Matthew 7:13 where it says: Mt. 7:13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: So we see that it's the many that are traveling on the broad (wide) road leading to destruction, and the Few (or remnant, little flock) Mt. 7:14 that are going down the less traveled narrow and difficult path or road which leads to life. I would appreciate your comments in return In Christ zach† |

136 | Fall away | Mark 4:16 | zach† | 38164 | ||
They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for awhile believe, and in time of temptation FALL away. (Lk. 8:13 Mark 4:16-17) Fall in the above verse is the greek word aphistemi, which means to depart, or apostatize from ones once held profession of faith. In the above verse notice: 1. they hear the word 2. they receive the word with joy 3. But they have no root (this refers merely to the shallowness of their faith, or lack of depth) 4. They believe for awhile 5. Then FALL away (they don’t endure to the end) However they were believers for a time who did become apostates |

137 | How sinful is "fallen away"? | Mark 4:16 | zach† | 38333 | ||
Joe; Putting our faith in Christ is not a stopping point, but is rather a starting point in the life of a believer. The idea of "let go and let God" has no scriptural basis. Consider the following; There is an eternal, and CONDITIONAL "if" in every consideration of eternal security. IF we walk in the light; IF that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son; IF any man draw back; IF a man abide not in me, he is cast forth; IF a man keep my saying: IF thou continue in His goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off: IF ye do these things, ye shall never fall; IF we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast unto the end; IF we endure; IF we deny Him, He also will deny us; IF we sin willfully..there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins; IF ye forsake Him, He will forsake you; ye are my friends IF ye do whatsoever I command you; IF ye live after the flesh, ye shall die. He that endureth till the end, the same shall be saved. Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things , ye shall never fall (2 Pet. 1:9-10) Concerning your second question: "How bad do we have to sin to fall out of grace?" I don't have the exact answer for that. All I can say is that while a single sin in the life of a believer isn't warrant for an individual to forfeit his/her salvation, continual persistence in willful sin Heb. 10:26 grieves the Holy Spirit, and if persisted in over time will harden the heart and result in quenching the Holy Spirit. Concerning your last question I believe scripture is very clear. The Scripture you used is clear that those who "have fallen away" cannot be "renewed" So that means that they once were renewed and cannot be again. I don't believe a person can be born again, and again, and again. This text says it is "impossible" to be renewed a second time. Once salvation is forfeited, after being saved the first time, there then is no second or third chance, seeing how these trampled under foot the Son of God, and regarded as unclean the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and has insulted the Spirit of grace Heb 10:29 Hope that helps you understand my personal beliefs on this important matter . If not feel free to reply. Grace and peace be multiplied unto thee. zach† |

popdzl; I enjoyed your post but concerning the following statement in you post in which you said. "Unless we reach the level of faith on which Hebrews 6:4-6 speaks, we will never fall out of grace " Let me ask you; What level of faith is needed by an individual before it is unlikely for him/her to not fall out of grace? Grace and peace be multiplied unto thee zach† |

Joe; In all sincerity; there is and has been a misunderstanding on this issue between those of the Reformed faith and those on the side of the Remonstrants. Whenever an Arminian trys to appeal to a Calvinist using scripture, we cannot help but get the sense that we are misunderstood, and the reply's we receive, indicate that many think that we believe that works maintain our salvation , even though we don't believe that. I never once mentioned works. What I have written is concerning "perseverance" and endurance which is scriptural. And endurance is perseverance. Also faith is a verb, and is not passive, we are to be pro-active in our faith. We are to pray, put on the full armor of God, we are to trust and obey, if you call that works, then I will remind you that even Scripure says: "faith without works is dead" James 2:20 that means life-less, less than saving faith, a dead non-existant faith is not a faith which can ever please God. Grace and peace be multiplied unto thee zach† |

Joe; With all due respect. McArthur was the man i once looked to whenever I had a question about a certain portion of Scripture. I believed that if anyone would have the correct answer, then McArthur would. For years I daily listened to his radio program, read hi books and visted his web-site at gty.org. I actually personally made an icon out of McArthur. So it's not as if I haven't read, listened to, or studied what McArthur says; It was after time as I continued reading McArthur along side my Bible that the errors in McArthur's teaching became apparent to me. I still think highly of much of what McArthur teaches. But when it comes to scripture McArthur sides with Calvinism which to many is scripture, but for those like myself who see Calvinism as man's teachings we have to choose whether we will or will not believe scripture when it disagrees with what man teaches. Thats the bottom line Joe. So please don't hang us because we don't agree with men. We do believe what scripture says Grace and peace be multiplied unto thee. zach† |
