1081 | Prepared for Spiritual Warfare | Eph 6:15 | srbaegon | 235838 | ||
For the secular contest men are trained and prepared, and reckon it a great glory of their honor if it should happen to them to be crowned in the sight of the people, and in the presence of the emperor. Behold a lofty and great contest, glorious also with the reward of a heavenly crown, inasmuch as God looks upon us as we struggle, and, extending His view over those whom He has condescended to make His sons, He enjoys the spectacle of our contest. God looks upon us in the warfare, and fighting in the encounter of faith; His angels look on us, and Christ looks on us. How great is the dignity, and how great the happiness of the glory, to engage in the presence of God, and to be crowned, with Christ for a judge! Let us be armed, beloved brethren, with our whole strength, and let us be prepared for the struggle with an uncorrupted mind, with a sound faith, with a devoted courage. Cyprian, To the People of Thibaris, Exhorting to Martyrdom, Epistle 55.8 |

Hello Joe Ken's postings are murky at best. Yours are clear as usual. Steve |

Hello John I've looked through a couple threads that you and Joe have been on, and I can't understand why you two would have gotten a warning. Steve |

Hello Ken, Explanation: Joe was correct in stating that you disagreed with him then appeared to agree with him in the end. Also, you were asked to give Scripture for your basis but gave unintelligible (to me) comments. I am a teacher/elder in Cedar Rapids Bible Chapel, Cedar Rapids, IA. Why do you ask? Steve |
||||||
1085 | ?self effort 2 B holy now vs befor saved | Phil 3:9 | srbaegon | 100444 | ||
Hello Ken, I think you may have responded to the wrong thing. The second thing Joe mentioned was the First Great Awakening. I'm not sure you would want to say that it was wrong because "so many were innocent." Steve |

1086 | Is the sin nature substance or mind set? | Phil 3:9 | srbaegon | 100450 | ||
Hello Ken As was mentioned earlier, how can someone engage you in conversation if you continue to make these nonsensical comments? Your statements and questions do not relate to John's posting. Steve |

Hello Ken, Well when you get cleared up, join back in. Steve |

1088 | Is the sin nature a substance or mindset | Phil 3:9 | srbaegon | 100459 | ||
Hello Ken, [Because we have come out of the divine nature] This is invalid. We are made in the image and likeness of God, but we do not have a part with the divine nature. [Jesus is the father of their sonship] No, Jesus is the vehicle of our sonship (John 1:12) not the father. [He was not the Son of God because he could not help it, but because he willed to be in himself the Son that he was in the divine idea.] No. He was always the Son, because that is His eternal position (Isaiah 9:6). [we must be the sons we are.] We are not sons until receiving Christ (John 1:12). George McDonald has very bad theology. Steve |

1089 | Is the sin nature substance or mind set? | Phil 3:9 | srbaegon | 100462 | ||
Hello Ken, OK. You made the following comments: "Who is we"?, "How does Jesus give us a new heart"?, At what point in time does that happen"? Is that Justification or Sanctification"? "Progressive or instantanious"? "Who's nature is enabling me to win my battles, His or mine? "Battles over what [assuming no wickedness cause sin is more than just wickedness"] John never mentioned any of these in his posting. To what were your comments being made. There is no point of reference. Steve |

1090 | Is the sin nature a substance or mindset | Phil 3:9 | srbaegon | 100463 | ||
Hello Ken, My mindset is that Mr. McDonald needs to rightly divide the Word of God. I noticed no mention of the Scriptures at all in the piece you quoted. Sad. Steve |

Hello Ken, I've heard of both men. I never liked Chambers' writing and Lewis' theology was flawed. Steve |

Hello Ken, #1 [What he did say is that we came OUT OF IT. Read it again for the first time then use honesty in your reply.] To say we came out of a divine nature would require a vestige of that divine nature to be in each of us, thereby making us already gods in a certain respect and worthy of worship, glory, and praise. This is not the case. We are created beings (Gen 1:27) with no divine nature or tie to a divine nature beyond the Holy Spirit indwelling us when we believe. #2. [The everlasting Father of it! Jesus is the pioneer of our becoming a son; Father of it! Right? ] Wrong. Again Jesus is not the Father of it. He is the Author and Perfecter as you have stated. There is no Scripture saying He is the Father of sonship. Only God the Father can be that father. As for Jesus being the vehicle of sonship (i.e. the one through whom we receive sonship), I already gave John 1:12. I would also add Eph 1:5. #3. If I'm understanding you correctly, you are saying that Jesus is the Son only because of His finished earthly work. And that God, foreseeing that completed earthly work, was willing to say Jesus was His son. Again the answer is no. The Son was given to mankind. He was always the Son as His relation in the Triunity of the Godhead. (Romans 8:3; Galatians 4:4-6; 1 John 4:9-14) #4. You are confusing the work of sanctification (which is a learning process) with our adoption as sons (which is already accomplished--Romans 8:15; Galatians 3:26; Ephesians 1:5). [Geo.McDonald was one of the mentors of Oswald Chambers and C.S.Lewis... Geo.McDonald knew God.] Like I said in another posting to you: I don't like Chambers, and Lewis had bad theology. Steve |

1094 | Righteousness Solely through Christ | Phil 3:9 | srbaegon | 235097 | ||
For Isaiah did not send you to a bath, there to wash away murder and other sins, which not even all the water of the sea were sufficient to purge. But, as might have been expected, this was that saving bath of the olden time which followed those who repented, and who no longer were purified by the blood of goats and of sheep, or by the ashes of an heifer, or by the offerings of fine flour, but by faith through the blood of Christ, and through His death, who died for this very reason, as Isaiah himself said, when he spoke thus: "The Lord shall make bare His holy arm in the eyes of all the nations, and all the nations and the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of God. Depart, depart, depart, go out from there, and touch no unclean thing; go out of the midst of her, be clean you that bear the vessels of the Lord, for you go not with haste. For the Lord shall go before you; and the Lord, the God of Israel, shall gather you together." Justin Martyr, Dialogue with Trypho, 13 |

1095 | The Christian's Use of Reason | Col 2:3 | srbaegon | 200858 | ||
"All the properties of God ought to be as rational as they are natural. I require reason in His goodness, because nothing else can properly be accounted good than that which is rationally good; much less can goodness itself be detected in any irrationality."--Tertullian, Against Marcion, Book I Steve |

1096 | question | Col 2:12 | srbaegon | 57100 | ||
Hello dasev But it shouldn't stop us from searching: Proverbs 25:2 (ESV) It is the glory of God to conceal things, but the glory of kings is to search things out. 1 Peter 1:10-11 (ESV) Concerning this salvation, the prophets who prophesied about the grace that was to be yours searched and inquired carefully, [11] inquiring what person or time the Spirit of Christ in them was indicating when he predicted the sufferings of Christ and the subsequent glories.

1097 | repost of circumcission and baptism? | Col 2:12 | srbaegon | 57112 | ||
Hello sandrider While Young's is a literal translation, it lacks depth of nuance. The Greek word "sabbaton" can mean either "sabbath" or "week." That's why Matt 28:1 has "first day of the week." It's not another sabbath but stating the proper translation of "sabbaton." Steve |
||||||
1098 | repost of circumcission and baptism? | Col 2:12 | srbaegon | 57161 | ||
Hello sandrider Let's look at it again. "And on the eve of the sabbaths, at the dawn, toward the first of the sabbaths, came Mary the Magdalene, and the other Mary, to see the sepulchre..." Saying that the 2nd mention of sabbath refers to a 2nd sabbath would only make sense if it was a high sabbath that came during the Jewish calendar. However, none is found after the passover is slain. Therefore, the 2nd mention must be simply the beginning of the week. Steve |

Question................................... Could you share where you found that Day of Atonement and Feast of Trumpets were fasting days? Steve |
||||||
1100 | what sabbath does it refer to? | Col 2:16 | srbaegon | 25644 | ||
Thanks. I checked the references and found no reference to fasting during the Feast of Trumpets. However, there is a connection of fasting to the Day of Atonement in Acts 27:9 (see NASB marginal note). I can see that, since the people were required to humble their souls. So, my follow-up question is: Why did you call Day of Atonement a feast day? Or did I misunderstand what you said? Steve |
