222 | how do we benefit from serving in church | NT general Archive 1 | skccab | 187314 | ||
Hi Sarah 2Cor 6:14 says not to be unequally bound with unbelievers. Teenage girls who immerse themselves in church are much more likely to meet Godly young men, the kind of men that make very good husbands (for they were probably raised by Godly parents). The pressures of being a young Christian in high school or college is tough enough without trying to date and make friends with lots of unbelievers. At least being in church amd meeting Godly friends would help balance the scales a bit. I pray your study will shine insight and understading in their hearts cheri |

223 | Male seed sinful, but not female ovum? | NT general Archive 1 | skccab | 191175 | ||
Hiya Restate I started to answer a few days ago, but I could not find my scriptural references (still can't). But here goes anyway - Women don't have seeds, men have seeds. Jesus was not conceived of a human male seed, he was conceived of the Holy Spirit by the will of God. The sin nature is inherited through the male seed for it was the man who transgressed by an act of the will in disobedience. Eve was deceived, Adam was not. (Notice that nowhere in the Bible does it state that the Holy Spirit even used an egg from Mary, only that she was "overshadowed" by the Spirit and conceived.) OK guys, if I've made a mistake - go ahead and correct, I'm a big girl, I can handle it :-). |

224 | is how we use our talents to be judged? | NT general Archive 1 | skccab | 192363 | ||
Hey there, I was answering with the "we" being believers, not unbelievers. Maybe I should have stated so.... Cheri |

225 | is how we use our talents to be judged? | NT general Archive 1 | skccab | 192368 | ||
Hey JohnD, Yes, we received our judgment of "not guilty" at the Cross. Our judgment, therefore, is of works done or not done, do they stand or fall, so it's of rewards or lack of rewards. Cheri |

Hi Jesusman, Wow, now two lines of thought have been opened up!! I hadn't really thought about it in connection with some verses of Rev (at least not consciously). I thought though that in the judgment of the unsaved in Rev, we the believers were already there, having gone through the millennium? So, possibly the difference between the sheep and the goats isn't saved or not saved, but those who walked the walk and those who were carnal and only talked the walk? Still learning, Cheri |

Hi Jesusman, Thank you so much for the effort you put into your response. From years ago when I adopted the "pre-trib" view, I still have some "old" views that need to be (and are) being reconsidered. The "pre-tribulational" view has all the events wrapped up so nicely that it is hard to let it go, but it is not as scripturally based as the other views. And you just re-confirmed that for me. That's one of the things I love about SBF - it allows for thinking and re-thinking biases that we have grown up with (and we ALL have them). So, once again, thank you. Still learning :-) Cheri |

228 | Can a Christian reject God's grace | NT general Archive 1 | skccab | 192432 | ||
Jesusman, Yes, maybe I misunderstood the thread (trying to multitask, don't you know?), but I thought that's where we were heading - that God gives us the "will" to do His "desire." And His desire is for us to do that which is good in His sight. Therefore, if we are truly "saved" we won't do the things that are displeasing to Him - at least not knowingly and wilfully. As a born again believer I want nothing more than to please my Father - I can't believe that any other born again believer would want to displease Him. The only view I can take is that if there is someone who calls Yeshua Lord and does the things that bring shame to Him, they are not true sons of God, they are liars, playing the "religion game." They do not have a salvation for them or God to finsh (I see it as a joint venture, both, the Father and the son, are vested in it). Cheri |

229 | Can a Christian reject God's grace | NT general Archive 1 | skccab | 192437 | ||
Agreed. But wouldn't he be considered one of the talkers and not the walkers? He had his own agenda, not God's. And he was either very deceived or very evil. But his "efforts" were still to God's glory in the end. Someone had to do the evil deed - it was prophesied (and that has always fascinated me how that all worked out). Cheri |

230 | What is the Ending to Preterism view? | NT general Archive 1 | skccab | 193132 | ||
Hi Hank, That's pretty much my take on it, too. For something that I can't really put much "belief" into, I was just getting into too much reading and never coming to the end of it - like how does this all affect us as believers today, where do we picture into it, and when it's all over, where are we? There doesn't seem to be any "The End" to it? And if you, dear Hank, don't know how this view ends - then I guess the folks who thought it up need to go back to the drawing board! After spending 4-5 days bouncing all over that web site, I still can't figure out how it all affects us today and what's in our future? (And the scary thing is that except for those 2 questions being left unanswered - that website has enough info to suck you right into it!!) Thanks for answering me so quickly, Hank, I appreciate it. And I pray that others who have been led to that site (it was listed on an earlier post here) read your answer. Shalom Cheri |

231 | How do we see ourselves? | NT general Archive 1 | skccab | 193215 | ||
Hi Steve, Thank you for answering so quickly. I am differentiating between being called a "sinner" (as we were before being saved) and being human and sometimes committing a sin (either because we have become lazy or just didn't see it as a sin). To me, the latter does not qualify as putting a believer back in the same status as that of the sinner he/she was before redemption. Just because I commit a sin by YELLING at you in anger does not put me back in the same category as the sinner does it? It puts a chism (sp?) between you and me that I must make right with you and our God, but it won't send me to damnation, will it? (By the way, I wasn't really yelling at you, my bother, just an example, please.) Do you understand what I'm asking? Cheri |

232 | How do we see ourselves? | NT general Archive 1 | skccab | 193216 | ||
P.S. Steve Also, those verses do confirm that we indeed miss the mark quite often but Paul does not call himself a "sinner"; he only admits that like everyone else he battles the old bad habits he'd lived with for so long that are contrary to the word of our God. And John, the same thing, he does not state that we are sinners and if we say we're not we're liars - he says that sin (the natural inclinations to live and behave contrary to God's word) is within us, etc. So my question is why we don't say the same thing about ourselves that the Bible says. Don't you think if we spoke of ourselves more often in the good sense (that is quite Biblical) that maybe the battle against that "old man's" appetites might not appear so daunting? Just a thought Cheri |

AFternoon Maxpower, You made a very good point. I have no problem with calling myself a "bond-servant," "apostle?" I'd have to REALLY think about that one :-)! And thank you so much for the correction, I'll make note of it in my Bible. (Figured I'd probably miss something, I usually do.) I REALLY liked the quotes from Eccl. Thank you, Maxpower. It's been a long time since I've read that book, but those are gonna get a big mark too. But I'd still like to see what my question brings up. After all, "hardly ever" once (so far :-) ) doesn't negate all those scriptures that I found and all the ones I didn't post!! Shalom Cheri |

Good evening Steve, How's your day been? Blessed, I pray? Thank you so much for joining me in my journey. I hope you enjoyed the moments of contemplation on the subject of just who we are in the Lord, I know that I have and have learned a few things. I can see where you are coming from and freely concede that sin definitely does remain in us - but I still think it's more to do with comfortable habits, natural human inclinations, laziness and pure stupidity rather than the "original" sinful inclinations that we as humans inherited from Adam's deed. Rom. 14:12-14 The night is almost gone, and the day is near. Therefore let us lay aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light. 14:13 Let us behave properly as in the day, not in carousing and drunkeness, not in sexual promiscuity and sensuality, not in strife and jealousy, 4:14 But put on the Lord Yeshua Messiah, and make no provision for the flesh in regard to its lusts. Those verses tell me we have a choice. (Which you also stated.) But I think I choose to see myself more as the "new creation," being re-born of the Spirit and the Water and having all things be new. Then I can relate much better to Paul's exhortation of Phil 3:13-16 3:13 Brethren, I do not regard myself as having laid hold of it yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, 3:14 I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Messiah Yeshua. 4:15 Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, have this attitude; and if in anything you have a different attitude, God will reveal that also to you; 4:16 however, let us keep living by that same standard to which we have attained. Personally, I have trouble reconciling the thought that I or any of my brethren in the Lord (and you , definitely included!) who are "perfect" (4:15) can possibly be "sinners" also. If we keep looking back at what we once were, at where we once were, it's going to be very difficult to stay focused on what we are becoming and where we are heading. Don't you think? Doesn't that give the "old man" opportunity to take the lead, so to speak? I'm not trying to argue with you, dear brother, and I am taking to heart everything you are sharing with me; and I'm not trying to get you to go with my way of thinking either, I'm just trying to make the two aspects somehow make sense, meld. Still in a quandry!! Cheri |

Steve, It's been such a pleasure having this discussion with you. I've really enjoyed it. And I'll happily agree with you!! We were both horrible empty sinners headed for hell that got saved by the grace and mercy of our God. And now we are brand new creations, our minds are being renewed to think the thoughts of God and to do His good works. We are a mighty, marvelous work in process, being transformed into the image of the Son Himself. We have the tendencies of sin within us, and we miss the mark sometimes, but if we continue to forge onward with the prize of the mark of God's HIGH calling before us, we are far more than just sinners saved by grace. Have a blessed day, Steve Cheri |

238 | leaving the church | NT general | skccab | 195013 | ||
Michael, Your questions are not vague. I've understood every one of them - just don't always have the answers :-). I couldn't recall anything else in the Apostolic Writings about leaving a church with a curse - doesn't really sound Biblical (though I could be wrong!). Cheri |

239 | What does it mean ? | NT general | skccab | 196446 | ||
Shalom Rayzz, The question asked of Yeshua in Matt. 9:14 was why didn't his students (disciples) fast like the Pharisees and John's. Yeshua gave them an answer (the friends don't fast while the bridegroom is here, but they will fast when the bridegroom has gone away - He being the Bridegroom) and He told them two parables. Mat.9:16-17 are also part of the answer to the question of verse 14. If you understand the wineskins and the garments as being disciples or students and the wine and patches being teachings then Mat. 9:14-17 will make perfect sense. Cheri |
