4 | Subsequent process | 1 Cor 1:2 | BornOne | 228434 | ||
biblicalman I would not use 2Thes 2:13 to indicate that the sanctification process starts before we become Christians. Is there any reason to indicate that the "from the beginning" is referring to anything other than God's choosing of us (predestinating us from before the foundation of the world) unto salvation? The process of sanctification of the Spirit doing the work in us starts from the time we believe the truth. In what sense would you say we are sanctified before we believe? Yes, I appreciate that, in the eternal mind of God, we always were His but that speaks more of justification than sanctification, which (if the word means anything distinctive) is a subsequent process. |

5 | Is forgiving the unrepentent scriptural? | Matthew | BornOne | 228433 | ||
Firstly, biblenovice... I agree that repentance before forgiveness is certainly God's principle. Secondly, I agree with both Beja's and lightedsteps' answers. Mat 6:14-15 is undoubtedly for the benefit of the believer, rather than advocating "letting off the hook" all unrepentant wrong-doers, as it would do the believer more harm than good to harbour vengeful feelings towards anyone. I might add that the question and both answers have been of help to me in clarifying God's principles and a believer's practical walk. Thanks to all. |

6 | Gen 6: Schofield notes | Gen 6:1 | BornOne | 228432 | ||
Thank you for your thoughts. This may be a little doctrinally contentious so we may need to end agreeing to differ. I have some regard for the respected C.I.Schofield and his study of the KJV Bible and I tend to agree with his conclusions here: "Some hold that these sons of God were the angels which kept not their first estate (Jude 6). It is asserted that the title is in the OT exclusively used of angels. But this is an error (Isa 43:6). Angels are spoken of in a sexless way. No female angels are mentioned in scripture and we are expressly told that marriage is unknown among angels (Mat 22:30). The uniform Hebrew and Christian interpretation has been that verse 2 marks the breaking down of the separation between the godly line of Seth and the godless line of Cain, and so the failure of the testimony to Jehovah committed to the line of Seth (Gen 4:26). For apostasy there is no remedy but judgment (Isa 1:2-7, 24, 25; Heb 6:4-8; 10:26-31). Noah, "a preacher of righteousness" is given 120 yrs but he won no convert and the judgment predicted by his great grandfather fell (Jude 14, 15; Gen 7:11)." That is Schofield's note on the subject, I see no reason to differ with him. | ||||||
7 | Is to bill or murder the same | Ex 20:13 | BornOne | 228425 | ||
In the context of Exodus 20:13 there is no difference. KJV (sorry, still my favourite translation) has it: "Thou shalt not kill". Literally though, I could be killed in a plane crash accident but that would not be murder. Context is important for correct understanding. |

9 | I would like an explination of Geneis 6. | Gen 6:1 | BornOne | 228421 | ||
This describes the breaking down of the godly line of Seth (Gen 4:26) and the ungodly line of Cain. Seth's line being referred to as the "sons of God" taking wives from Cain's line, being referred to as "daughters of men". Wickedness multiplied as a result and this brought on the judgement of the flood. But God chose Noah, who was "perfect in his generations" (Gen 6:8) i.e. pure parentage back to Seth and God used Noah to build the Ark, also an OT type of our salvation through Jesus Christ. | ||||||
10 | WHAT DOES ROSE OF SHARON MEAN- SONG OF S | 2 Samuel | BornOne | 228413 | ||
Area of Sharon, extended from Joppa to Cesarea, was noted for its lush pastures and vegetation but became like a wilderness (Isaiah 33:9). The promise of this wilderness blossoming as the rose (Isaiah 35:1-2). Hence, as a title of the Lord being the "Rose of Sharon" it signifies the promise of new life... and beauty in perfection. | ||||||
11 | Context of Matt 28:8-12? | 1 Cor 1:2 | BornOne | 228412 | ||
Doc A good answer. I am slightly puzzled by ref to Matt 28:8-12 in the context. Is this the ref you intended? BornOne |

12 | Is there a pre-incarnate Christ? | Genesis | BornOne | 228360 | ||
Since "Christ" can have more than one meaning, it may help to clarify the question by asking: Is there a pre-incarnate Son of God, to which the answer is unequivocally yes... since God made the worlds by His Son. Thus, the Son of God existed before the worlds were made. Heb 1:2 |

13 | What is sin that leads to death? | 1 John 5:16 | BornOne | 228359 | ||
Continual rejection and thereby disbelief in God's provision of salvation through the sacrifice of our Lord Jesus Christ. In a word: Unbelief. Heb 3:12-19, Heb 4:9-11, 1Tim 1:12-16 |
