201 | What was reason for the virgin birth? | Matt 4:1 | humbledbyhisgrace | 185004 | ||
Dear Mark, I agree with you on the vocabulary thing! It do be hard some times :o) Perhaps I’m misunderstanding you a bit on this point so let me know. What I was speaking to was the quote of Hodge. He states "Temptation implies the possibility of sin". At least that was the way it was quoted :o) The quoted statement was made to validate the argument of Hodge that Christ could have sinned. My argument was to show the shortcoming in his logic. It had nothing at all to do with the question if Christ was tempted or not so I fail to see the relevance of my point to Hebrews 2:18. No doubt at all Jesus experienced temptation and to the full extent! After all the tempter went away empty handed. The problem with his statement is that the argument requires something of the tempted based on the fact the tempter tempted (How's that for vocabulary? If you can't think of something to say just keep using the same word :-). By Faith, Steve |

Greetings John! No problem Brother. I was simply agreeing to your request. I can see now I should have made that more clear. Sorry if I left you feeling like you had offended me! God Bless, Steve |

203 | What was reason for the virgin birth? | Matt 4:1 | humbledbyhisgrace | 185022 | ||
Greetings Tim! There is no argument from me that Jesus was tempted. This is clear from scripture. However, the fact Jesus was tempted adds no validity to the statement in or out of the context it was used in my opinion. The statement: “Temptation implies the possibility of sin". All that can be granted is that the tempter believes, assumes, or hopes etc… there to be a possibility. If not, then what is it about the temptation that makes so the possibility in the one tempted? How does the temptation being external or internal change this? By Faith, Steve |

Greetings John! First of all, I have never said anything about anyone not being tempted or not being able to be tempted. As you have posed your question you are changing the argument into something different then what I have presented regarding the original quote in question. We know every man can be tempted including Jesus. As I understand the way you have presented it, I don't see this as a valid question. If someone can't be tempted then there was no temptation to demote or promote. By the way, let me change the subject for a bit and speak to your concern for offending me or anyone else for that matter. First of all I appreciate your desire not to! Thank you! We should all be ever mindful of this and maintain a healthy fear of it and of creating division among the brothers and sisters in Christ. One thing you will find on the forum is at times with nothing more then text to go by there will be misunderstanding of ones intentions. Of course there are times the intentions are clear also ;-) But know this, you do not have to apologize to me every time you speak to me. I understood your desire not to continue and also your desire to engage once again. We may not agree on everything but as brothers in Christ we have a big problem if we can't discuss it together. It's just my opinion but I think when we get more comfortable on the forum like anywhere else we tend to be more at ease and be ourselves so to speak. We sit here typing away is if everyone knows our thoughts and moods and personalities and forget some times all the other person has to go on is text. Anyway, I have found you to be very gracious not rude and I for one enjoy the discussions! God Bless, Steve |

Greetings Tim! No need to apologize! No offense taken! I'm actually only arguing the point against the quote "Temptation implies the possibility of sin" At least that is what I have been attempting to do :-) By Faith, Steve |

206 | What was the point of the temptation ? | Matt 4:1 | humbledbyhisgrace | 193123 | ||
J-man, How far we fall when we set to make God in our image! J-man, what is sin? Steve |

207 | silent prayer | Matt 6:5 | humbledbyhisgrace | 191532 | ||
Greetings mely! Welcome to the Study Bible Forum! If the word of God does not speak against praying silently, why would we put such limitations on a mighty God who not only is able to, but does know our thoughts and our heart ? (Psalm 139:23; Isaiah 66:18, 1 Chronicles 28:9, Psalm 44:21, 1 Samuel 16:7, Jeremiah 17:10) etc... Have you ever had a prayer answered? Have you ever had a silent prayer answered? God bless, Steve |

210 | Is it easy for God to forgive? | Matt 6:15 | humbledbyhisgrace | 199973 | ||
I know Brother. I sort of left my reverse question hanging in the wind :-) I was trying to draw a contrast between God's nature and our way of looking at things but I did a poor job editing my original :-( Thank you for putting it back on track! Steve |

211 | Is it easy for God to forgive? | Matt 6:15 | humbledbyhisgrace | 199974 | ||
Thank you for the kind words Brother! Take a look at Doc's response to me in case you haven't seen it. He points out something I failed to get across in my post. On the subject of God's compassion. Wow! I can't begin to tell you how many times I have set here and cried after reading His word and thinking about His ways. Having such a vast knowledge of my own sinfulness, I am forever amazed by His love and mercy. Steve |

212 | Is it easy for God to forgive? | Matt 6:15 | humbledbyhisgrace | 199980 | ||
Now I'm confused :-) Help me out here brother. Where do I say "He was going against His nature?" Steve |

213 | Is it easy for God to forgive? | Matt 6:15 | humbledbyhisgrace | 199986 | ||
I see! No, it was me who was not clear enough! Poor choice of words on my part. The intent of "acting out of his nature" was to say by nature He was acting so to speak. In other words, not going against his nature, but that it comes forth from His nature. If I would have meant it as you interpreted I would have said acting outside of His nature. Again, poor choice of words on my part. “Acting out” is a term used in my neck of the woods so I guess I have a bad habit of saying it myself :-) Steve |

Greetings Sister! How's this one? Try this... God says it, that settles it! Psalms 119:89 (NASB) Forever, O LORD, Your word is settled in heaven. ;-) Steve |

Greetings Cheri! I don't know what else to say??? The immediate context seems to speak for itself. What I don't see in the passage is anything at all about the "Torah-observant person or household". Matthew 10:11-15 (NASB) 10:11 "And whatever CITY or village you enter, inquire who is WORTHY in it, and stay at his HOUSE until you leave that CITY. 10:12 "As you enter THE HOUSE, give it your greeting. 10:13 "If THE HOUSE is WORTHY, give it your blessing of peace. But if it is NOT WORTHY, take back your blessing of peace. 10:14 "Whoever does not RECEIVE you, NOR HEED YOUR WORDS, as you go out of THAT HOUSE or THAT CITY, shake the dust off your feet. 10:15 "Truly I say to you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that CITY. Emphasis added to the above passage is mine Steve |

Cheri, I’ve considered your thoughts on this but I would still disagree. I understood what you said. Again, I say the context speaks for itself. Regardless of what term you use, being worthy has nothing to do with one following the law. Isn't introducing the fact someone is worthy because they observe the law contradictory to the very message they were sent to preach? Take a look at verse 11. They were to exetazo (examine, seek out, inquire thoroughly) who was worthy. Are we to believe that Christ would send them with the message he sent them with to examine, seek out, inquire thoroughly who follows the Torah? This in and of itself would seem to me to contradict the very message they were sent to preach. For the “Kingdome of Heaven” was at hand! Were they sent out by the power of Moses to bring this message to the lost sheep of the house of Israel? Was it by the power of the law that they would “Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons”? If the apostles were to take back their blessing of peace and shake off the dust of their feet when they were not received AND their message was not heeded then it seems this also would be the standard of measure used to determine which house was worthy for them to stay.

Dear Sister Cheri, My objective was not to "shoot" your answer down as you say but rather to discuss His word and seek His truth for the benefit of you, me, anyone else reading along and most of all to His glory! If I have come across as anything else I apologize! Also, sorry if I have not been able to answer the original question to your satisfaction. For me it seems clear in the text itself hence my first response to the original question. What more could I say to explain it then what is actually written in scripture? Anyway, as most of us so feebly try to expound on scripture and end up mudding the waters I guess that is what I have done for you. Again, not my intent! However, I have answered the original question and to you have attempted to point out the answer in the actual text (in context) of the passage. If you are unable to see that you have brought in the law and set mankind's obedience to that law as the standard of a house worthy of Christ then I don't know what else to say. I am not the one to help you see it but I tried :-) God bless, Steve |

219 | No reprobates in the Bible? | Matt 12:31 | humbledbyhisgrace | 186867 | ||
Greetings Psalm 25! Yes, I agree on the fundamental question and answer! I just wanted to establish what a reprobate was before the discussion lead to pointing to one that had never been saved in the first place and claiming they had :-) That seemed to be the direction it was headed based on AF's post to you. By the way, glad to see you sticking around! I hope you will stay long enough to see that although there will be differences many are here seeking, teaching, sharing, etc... and it's actually a great place to gather with our brothers and sisters in Christ and discuss the word of God. So, once again, welcome and enjoy! I look forward to your participation. By Faith, Steve |
