1 | betrayal of Jesus | Bible general Archive 4 | hopalong | 200041 | ||
Dear God's baby, Apart from the grace of God, not a single fallen creature has any desire to submit themselves to serve God. Rom 3:10 as it is written, "THERE IS NONE RIGHTEOUS, NOT EVEN ONE; Rom 3:11 THERE IS NONE WHO UNDERSTANDS, THERE IS NONE WHO SEEKS FOR GOD; Rom 3:12 ALL HAVE TURNED ASIDE, TOGETHER THEY HAVE BECOME USELESS; THERE IS NONE WHO DOES GOOD, THERE IS NOT EVEN ONE." Thank God that He has shown mercy to you and me. Rom 9:18 So then He has mercy on whom He desires, and He hardens whom He desires. We have recieved what we did not deserve,MERCY. Judas recieved what he did deserve,JUSTICE. God Bless, Hopalong |

Hi Brad, my intention was to point out that Revelation is not to be taken in the literal sense, but, in the sense in which it is was written. That is, in a unique literary style; a stlyle that was quite familiar to the people of of that time in which it was writen. Hopalong |

Dear lady, why are you now bringing up TRADITION, which is a seperate subject altogether. Getting back to your initial inquiry...see AA Hodge "1. Why are Creeds and Confessions necessary, and how have they been produced? The Scriptures of the Old and New Testament having been given by inspiration of God, are for man in his present state the only and the all-sufficient rule of faith and practice. This divine word, therefore, is the only standard of doctrine which has any intrinsic authority binding the consciences of men. All other standards are of value or authority only as they teach what the Scriptures teach." |

Many churches have traditional practices, such as a particular patterns of services. In Protestant churches, where the Bible is usually the final arbiter of doctrine, any story or belief not found therein is considered tradition, and not part of doctrine. In the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches the Sacred Tradition of the church may be considered doctrine.9 In the Bible, the traditions of men is sometimes contrasted with the word of God. For example, Jesus told the Pharisees, "You revoke God's word by your tradition that you have handed down. And you do many other similar things" (Mark 7:13). (wikipedia) |

Some say that the gifts are for today, others say that the gifts have ceased. Others don't know. Christians are free to hold any of the above and not break fellowship over them. I'm one who is undecided on the gifts. I am far more disturbed over the charlatons on TV that seek filthy lucer in payment for "THE SEVEN SECRETS TO HEALING" OR" THE TWELVE STEPS TO PROSPERITY'! I do believe that God answers our prayers according to His perfect will. Hoppy |

Hi John, What is the will but the servant of man's strongest desire? It has been likened to a scale which tips one way or the other. Desire arises from a man's heart, which is by nature wicked and corrupt. Gen 6:5 Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great on the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. Hoppy |

Hi Tim, afer all is said and done, we will never plumb the depths of God's Word. Frankly, I find it odd for us to relagate any portion of Scripture the dustbin of the archives. Christians are like the flowers in a garden, that have each of them the dew of Heaven, which, being shaken with the wind, they let fall at each other’s roots, whereby they are jointly nourished, and become nourishers of each other. John Bunyan (1628-1688) |

From one sinner to another, Take Hope: The Lesson of the Rich Young Ruler How good are you? Does Christianity teach as other religions do to improve ones self to be accepted by God? You can’t be accepted by God by any religious work you do no matter how great it is, what God accepts is to have faith in the Gospel. This is what the Bible teaches us. One day the Pharisees who prided themselves on their works and devotion to God came to Jesus and asked what must we do to do the work of God. Jesus replied: “believe on him who sent.” This destroys any notion of using ones own righteousness for acceptance before God. Isa. 64:6: “All of us have become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags.” In other words nothing we can do on our own has God approve of us. In Mk.10:17-22 We find a rich man running to Jesus and kneels asking him, “Good teacher (Rabbi) what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life? He recognizes that he does not have eternal life, who better to ask then Jesus. What must I do to have it. He has a works related idea for salvation. To call Jesus good meant a moral perfection in Judaism, not just being a caring kindhearted person. So Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God.” The emphasis is on THE good teacher which no rabbi was called. Jesus explains that “One there is who is good,” only God who is good in the absolute sense. http://www.letusreason.org/Apolo24.htm |

baptism is certainly an issue that is not so clearly presented in Scripture that believers cannot reasonably disagree on it. And you can see from what convinced me that my own views are not entirely identical to those of others in the paedobaptism camp. Different arguments convince different people. The ones I have mentioned are just the ones that convinced me, and are largely based on implication and assumption (as are, by the way, credobaptism arguments). I still know, respect and love a great many Reformed Baptists, and it seems to me that the same issues that prevent them from being paedobaptists are things like the assumption that the new covenant cannot be broken and that baptism is only an outward sign of an inward change. I also know a great many paedobaptist who seem to hold to paedobaptism for insufficient reasons, but I love them too. Answer by Ra McLaughlin |
