1 | What about those who never heard of JC ? | Bible general Archive 1 | Christian Marine | 30875 | ||
1. Hebrews 11 tells us the FAITH saved many BEFORE Jesus came! 2. Romans tells us that God will provide IF we seek him. 3. The Scriptures tells us that, to quote you, "...knowing right from wrong..." is not enough. 4. The Free Will of man and predestination DO NOT Coninside. You must choose one or the other. Since Jesus taught Free Will and the Old Testiment, to include Adam, give expmples of Free Will then, I believe in Free Will. 5. The Faith referred to in Hebrews was NOT based on Jesus' sacrifice. Therefore the Saints in Hebrews 11 did not experience the Grace of Jesus but of God! 6. Just becuse someone does not call the Trinty they believe in Jesus, does not mean that it is not my Jesus in their langiuage. That is God's decison. I am not qualified to judge another's heart! 7. Yes I agree that as a Christian I can thwart the Salvation opportunity of a non believer by my example. However, I beleive that God will judge me more harshly than the one I led astray. Read Paul's writings and Jesus' words. They support that idea. There are times in Scripture when God "gave up" on some people. n short, they used up all their chances. Look, I am no scholar! I subscribe to the idea that if we believe in the basic four truths of Salvation, A.The Virgin Birth B.The sinless life of God as Jseus on earth. C.Jesus' death on the Cross for our sins. D.Jesus' resurection from teh dead for our salvation. then we, as saved believers, can argue about everything else. (I am not elliquent enough to come up with that. That is a Georgia Christian Marine's version of J V Mcgee's statement.) In my reading of Revalations and the Gospels, I think that the "Book of Life" has EVERY person's name in it from the beginning. Scripture in John 3:16-18, tells us that Jesus came into the world to save the world and that his desire is that no one should perish. Free Will, in my opinion, means that our names are in "Lamb's Book of Life" UNLESS we die without accepting Him, which is the ONLY unpardonable sin, and THEN it is CROSSED OUT! Calvinism or what ever. That is what I beleive and I believe that my job is to reflect Jesus in this life s that the holy Spirit can use me, if it desires, to save others. Look without Free Will, why did Jesus have to die? If Free Will is not the way, why is the choosing of Jesus by us so important? Romans also addresses the issue of Election. We are elected by God through Jesus before the beginning of time. If we refuse to assept Jesus, then we refuse the election and are destined to hell for eternity. God Bless you! |

Nolan, Yes! I'm a Marine in a Retired status! Just thought I'd ask. I am reading them. Very interesting and, though I am NOT a Bibical scholar, I am conversant with Scripture. My concern is that these books could lead to some unbelievers seeing them as an excuse for NOT reading the Bible. That scares me. For a Christian, I think they are a great read. For a non believer, I hope each one has a Christian steeped in the word close by to be the vehicle the Holy Spirit uses to lead them to the Lord. I teach Sunday School and have for years. I am constantly asked to lead a class on Revelations. My response is that God made it the LAST book in the Bible for a reason, we shouldn't go there until we know the REST of the Bible! I read it and use it for reference but that book is scary! All me classes are discussion so I actually learn more than the other members in them because I have to study all week for a 45 minutes discussion! In Christ's Name! |

3 | My mom is praying to saints for | Jude 1:9 | Christian Marine | 30709 | ||
The Gospels teach that Jesus is our intercessor. Paul tells us that we, as believers, are higher than the angels! These verses say nothing about Michael interceeding about Moses' soul, just his body! In First Corinthians, Paul tells us this body is of no use to us once we die. Ask your Mom to show you where the Bible says pray to anyone other than God! Jesus is there! We are His and He will intercede if we pray in His name. I always consider that a "reminder", if you will, to God that I am one of Jesus' boys! (Little Scritual humor! God doesn't need me to remind Him of anythnig!) Ask leading questins and then let the Holy Spirit guide her to the truth. In Christ's Name! |

4 | WHAT WAS IT BEFORE IT " BECAME"? | Genesis | Christian Marine | 30705 | ||
Good question and one I don't think God intends us to know in this life. Actually, it is probalby none of our business! He said it, He created it, He did it, we are to believe it, 'nuff said! I'm now teaching a study verse by verse in Genesis. Interesting that God gives details he feels we need to know, Chapter 2 of Gen. details the creation of Man, and does not give them at other times. I surmise that means it ain't none of my concern. Look for Vernan McGee's first book on Gen. He spends a LOT of time on this. Love in Christ! |

5 | Help with Hosea???? | Hos 13:14 | Christian Marine | 30702 | ||
I agree with what others have said. I do not have my Bible here at work BUT, I can assure you that once your UNBELIEVING friend becomes a BELIEVER he or she will understnad more than any of us can tell her. Scripture tells us that the eyes of the unbeliever are, for the most part, blinded to the truths in the Bible. Prayer will allow the Holy Spirit indwelling you to speak to him or her. Just like a starving man, we must get them fed before they can do it themselves. Therefore, you must be used of God to show him or her the way to Slavatin before he or she will start to understand. I will be praying that God empowers you to be an example and guide to salvation for your friend. God Bless! |

In Romans Paul tells us that the evidence of God in our surroundings is to make us seek him. Look at the Etheopian eunic. He was seeking and God put Phillip in his life to teach him. I think Scripture teaches us that IF we ignore the evidence and commit blaspfame(sp) by dying without accepting Jesus, then we do go to hell. His creation is to inspire us to seek him. Thing is, when I get to Heaven, I don't want God to ask me why I didn't talk to someone about him and then find out I was the one God had chosen to be there at the minute that person was seeking the truth. Big responsibility, to reflect Christ to this world, I think. Read Romans, use a study Bible and follow the references. |

7 | What is your opinion of interpretation? | NT general Archive 1 | Christian Marine | 30693 | ||
I believe the the Lord taught us that some things we will not know here. He also told Thomas that, to paraphrase, Faith is more important than Knowledge. I think that all the answers we NEED are in scripture. I believe the Holy Spirit will reveal them to us as we are able to understand them, not before. I think it helps to read and study other more focused and/or spiritually mature commentators but we must NOT substitute their "interpretations" for the absolutes in the Bible. Their work is the result of the Holy Spirit talking to them. He may use them and their knowledge to speak to us but we cannot substitute their writings for study of God's word and prayer for understanding. Just my opinion! | ||||||

What do you think of the "Left Behind Series"? Is it just a novelty or is the Spirit being able to use it to save more? Wrong idea 'cause I KNOW the Spirit can use anything, even the devil's work, but have you seen evidence of it? | ||||||
