1 | once saved always saved? | John 10:28 | Immanuelsown | 208690 | ||
Progolfer190 Looking at the question, "can we lose our salvation?" There are other things given to us, at the same time that explain why you cannot lose it. 1) Eternal life, "can we lose eternal life?" John 10:28 28) And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. 2) We were given the Holy Spirit, which signifies the promise of God, until our Redemption, So we cannot lose our salvation, on the grounds, Jesus Paid the full price for us, which was DEATH! We have become a Purchased Possession. "Who can take us from his hand?" Eph.1:13,14 13) In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, 14) Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory. 3) If all of that is not enough, this one should be. Rom. 8:38,39 38) For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39) Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Salvation; soteria (Noun) Denotes "deliverance, preservation, salvation." "Salvation" is used in the NT (a) of material and temporal deliverance from danger and apprehension, (1) national, Lu. 1:69,71; Ac. 7:25, RV marg., "salvation" (text, "deliverance"); (2) personal, as from the sea, Ac. 27:34; RV, "safety" (AV, "health"); prison, Php. 1:19; the flood, Heb. 11:7; (b) of the spiritual and eternal deliverance granted immediately by God to those who accept His conditions of repentance and faith in the Lord Jesus, in whom alone it is to be obtained, Ac. 4:12, and upon confession of Him as Lord, Ro. 10:10; for this purpose the gospel is the saving instrument, Ro. 1:16; Eph. 1:13 Vines Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words.

4 | Men having long hair a disgrace? | 1 Cor 11:7 | Immanuelsown | 208617 | ||
srbaegon, Just wondering why your answer is ----"In both cases, the answer is most likely," "No." Is there anyplace where it says, they had short hair? Or do we assume this, because it was the custom of the time? Or do we get this belief from 1 Cor.11 where it talks about being covered, shaved, shorn, or in verse 14 "if a man have long hair it is a shame unto him" ? The question then arises, why then was it not a shame for Samson, and Samuel to never, in there lives be allowed to cut their hair? Although Samson's was cut once. Seems like long hair to a man is either a shame or it isn't, vow or no vow. We may say, "it was different in Old Testament times." But isn't it believed that John the Baptist, may have also been under a Nazarite vow, also having long hair. I'm not defending long hair for men, just cant see where it is ok one time, and not another. It would appear as though Jesus would have had the Vow of a Nazarite on his life, more than any man ever born, In Him Imm |

5 | Misprint, in Forum Bible (NASB) | Matt 18:15 | Immanuelsown | 208494 | ||
Hasn't anyone noticed yet, that the scripture used out of the (NASB) from the FORUM has a misprint, for Matt.18:15 The Brackets are mine. The amplified is OK NASB Matthew 18:15 ( "If your brother sins), go and show him his fault in private; if he listens to you, you have won your brother. AMPLIFIED Matthew 18:15 If your brother wrongs you, go and show him his fault, between you and him privately. If he listens to you, you have won back your brother. As you can see, this misprint effectively changes the context of the verse in question, form a sin against us, to a sin period. Can this mistake be rectified? In Him IMM |

6 | best time to pray? | Eph 6:18 | Immanuelsown | 208478 | ||
deaconpresident, We are told in the Bible many times, and in many varied was, to Pray always. We are to Praise God, Worship Him, Give thanks, Sing Psalms, Hymns Spiritual Songs, Worship Him in Spirit. You will find, when you are with the Lord all the time, your Prayers (per se), are taken care of, as the day proceeds. But if your question is more precise, as to the best time of the day, for your daily Prayer. Leave that up to the WILL OF GOD in your life, He will let You know, when he wants to talk to you personally. Listen for that still small voice. God will set a time for you, when you are quiet, in Spirit, and Mind. Let Him lead you! Psa. 34:1 1) I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth. Prov. 8:17 17) I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me. Luke 18:1 1) And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint; 1 Thes. 5:17 17) Pray without ceasing. Eph. 5:18-20 18) And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit; 19) Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; 20) Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; In Him Imm |

7 | Should I confront the man my sister is.. | Matt 18:15 | Immanuelsown | 208473 | ||
His alone, From the way you have phrased your question, it sounds as though your not so much concerned, about his (trespass against you), or his salvation, and restoration, because that is the only way to apply this verse. It sounds as though you just don't like the man. So don't delude yourself into thinking the scripture you used, is applicable. On the other hand, you do have a life long relationship with your sister, go to her, tell her how you truly feel, and why, she is more apt to listen to you. If she does not listen, keep in mind, that if you try to come between your sister, and her man, you could lose her. Be honest with ( yourself ) first, on what your true motive is, then, and only then, approach your sister. In Him Imm |

9 | Women, be silent, or be shamed? | 1 Tim 2:11 | Immanuelsown | 208380 | ||
justme, As far as your question, "How do men today see what shaming their wife is?" You apparently have something in mind. I honestly do not know, what your referring to, by the way you have framed your question. Could you please rephrase it for me? In Him Imm |

10 | Women, be silent, or be shamed? | 1 Tim 2:11 | Immanuelsown | 208375 | ||
justme, I have gone back through my post, with a fine tooth comb. Have not been able to find where I gave any opinion, Pro. or Con. Where did I make mention of my Church, or the Doctrines of said Church? What do you think, was Paul speaking, to a cultural problem at that time, or a specific church, or is this a blanket statement meant for today? As to the question of, husbands today teaching their wives obedience to them as leaders, and keeping their wife in subjection? I personally, am not qualified to speak for a segment of society, nor have I put myself forward in that light. So with that in mind, I would be more than happy, to give you my humble opinion on the matter, since you have asked for it. I personally feel, Men have abdicated their God given position, as the head of the woman, and their households. The Courts of this Great Land of ours, have legislated Equality for all of her people, they have at the same time effectively legislated equality in the Churches. Thereby breaking down the family unit, God has established! The statistics, on divorce, can be found at this link http://www.assisteddivorce.com/divorce-statistics.html specifically the ones concerning Christians, note also there are more Women, filing for divorce, and separating than Men. Do we want to go into the statistics on Abortion? I feel these two examples, give a clear picture of what happens, when women that were not ordained to have authority, have it either given to them, or take it. In this type of an atmosphere how could a man teach his wife anything, on the order of what your talking about? In closing, I believe, it is not the position of the Man to teach his wife those things, it is the position of the elderly Women. Titus 2:3-5 3) The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things; 4) That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, 5) To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed. 1 Cor.14:33-38 33) For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints. 34) Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience as also saith the law. 35) And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church. 36) What? came the word of God out from you? or came it unto you only? 37) If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord. 38) But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant.

11 | Debating on the word with atheist | Bible general Archive 4 | Immanuelsown | 208323 | ||
sapian59, Humbled,and Moran have given you sound advice, mine is practical advice. Romans 14:1 Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations. If we are told , do not have doubtful disputations, with someone that is weak in the faith,how much the more should we not have the same kinds of conversations with atheists. They do not have the faith at all, and do not intend to. They just want to argue! But if you persist in this endeavor, keep in mind, they say "I have found contradictions," make them prove there point of view, with scripture to back it up. Scripture, is what is being brought into question, then only by Scripture, can those questions be answered. And without any Scripture, their point is lost. Do not leave one point, until the first is resolved. If they cannot resolve, that is the end of the discussion. Remember, someone that calls themselves, Atheist, and claims to have found contradictions, is the spirit of Anti Christ! Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. My Prayer for you is Ephesians 6:10,11 10) Finally, my (brother), be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 11) Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

12 | what a women cannot become a preacher | 1 Tim 2:11 | Immanuelsown | 208283 | ||
Welcome Jerry, These are the 2 scriptures used the most , to answer your question. 1Tim.2:11,12 11) Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. 12) But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. 1 Cor.14:34,35 34) Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience as also saith the law. 35) And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.

13 | Adam and Eve Perfect or Flawed | 1 Tim 2:11 | Immanuelsown | 208261 | ||
Hank, It just warms the cockles of my heart, to see how many of the forum agree with my post. "Hank", sorry old friend, I thought I had stated it plainly in my first two sentences. "OK, No Assumptions." "These are the questions I have asked (MYSELF), in an attempt to get an understanding of who Eve was, and what was her motivation," The post in question was in response to a post from Humbled on 09-01-08 at 9:58 p.m. thats why I said no assumptions, also why I sent the questions. I will do better in the future, didn't mean to cause any confusion. In showing Humbled, the questions I asked myself, I should have written don't answer these. DUH! My mistake. Guess there were to many dots, leaving room for assumption, and speculation to run rampant. Looking on the bright side though, nice to know there was such a consensus of agreement on the rest. In closing, you are absolutely right, this will be my last post on the thread. In Him Imm |

14 | Adam and Eve Perfect or Flawed | 1 Tim 2:11 | Immanuelsown | 208244 | ||
Humbled, OK, No Assumptions. These are the questions I have asked myself, in an attempt to get an understanding of who Eve was, and what was her motivation, we can't blame it all on Satan, he did lie to her, everything else was Eve's own doing. 1) How long were Adam, and Eve in the garden, after God gave the command, not to eat the fruit, until Eve was tempted? 2) Why did they not eat of the fruit before that time? 3) What was it, at that particular moment, that made Eve even consider eating of the tree, when she had not before? 4) Just how much different were Adam, and Eve than we are? 5) If they were created perfect, would it have been necessary, for God's command to them? The reason I used the verse, Matt.5:28 was because, according to the words in Gen.3:6 there are attributed to Eve, the same types of thoughts a person after the fall could have. So is this a natural condition, of the heart of Man? If it has always been the condition of the heart of Man, and not the (Fallen Nature) could it then be said, Eve looked on the Tree to lust after the fruit? In lusting after the fruit, then Jas.1:14 then explains Eve's actions. If so, Eve had committed sin already in her heart, before (Touching, or Eating). Mat 5:28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart." Gen.3:6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be (desired) to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. Jas.1:14,15 14) But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed." 15) Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. H2530----DESIRED chamad khaw-mad A primitive root; to delight in: - beauty, greatly beloved, covet, delectable thing, ( great) delight, desire, goodly, lust, (be) pleasant (thing), precious (thing). (Strong's Concordance) My belief in this matter is, the heart of man has not changed, otherwise Eve could not have been tempted. God would not have had to put the Death Penalty on the eating of the fruit. The eating of the fruit, gave us the knowledge of good, and evil. But as we see, it wasn't eating the fruit, that brought sin into the world, it was because of LUST. In looking at this question, I have had to look at my own belief, that Adam, and Eve were created perfect. The following verse explains, being created in the Image, and Likeness of God, we were given dominion over the Earth. Having dominion, also entails having a Free Will, Eve Exercised that Free Will. Gen.1:26 26) And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

humbled, Those are all really good scriptures, but without any explanation, as to what you are saying , they are just quotes of really good scriptures. They all speak truth, I can agree with every scripture you quoted, because they are the word of God, but as to the context in which you are using them, I am oblivious as to your application of each one. I'm not trying to be flippant, I'm saying that when I post a scripture, I try to put with it how I am interpreting it, applying it. I just don't know your thinking, or what you were trying to say with each one. At this point I don't know, if you agree with my post or not. Sorry:-( In Him Imm |

humbled, In the giving of the command to Adam, not to eat of the fruit, God set the stage, for sin to come into the world Is the Knowledge of Good, and Evil, the same as Sinning? It appears as though the command, gives you the right to choose. The right to choose, can bring Sin. But Sin, or Sinning, isn't the same as the knowledge of good, and evil So there arises a question, "did Adam, and Eve die, because of Sin, or from obtaining the knowledge?" Sin, and Death came into the world, then passed on to us, for the breaking of the Command. (LAW) Rom. 7:14 14) For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin. Everything having to do with the knowledge of good and evil is future, (Choice) The knowledge of Good, and Evil, opens up to mankind, all sorts of sins Jesus told us, Matt. 6:34 34) Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. Jer. 27:9 9) Therefore hearken not ye to your prophets, nor to your diviners, nor to your dreamers, nor to your enchanters, nor to your sorcerers, which speak unto you, saying, Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon: Rom. 7:8,9 8) But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead. 9) For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died. Sin comes from the breaking of the Law, Jas. 1:13,14 13) Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: 14) But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. 15) Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.

Humbledbyhisgrace, How about the possibility, of Satan just bringing to Eve's attention that the Tree was there. She knew what God had said about it. Can we assume then both her, and Adam just said OK, when he said don't eat of the fruit, and then promptly forgot about it, believing what God said was true? Gen 3:6 And when the woman (saw) that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. It sounds to me as though she was in transgression before eating, she picked it, at that point she didn't die, she had just told the serpent, God said don't touch it! Jas 4:17 Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin. This scripture might be stretching the point, but she was now looking at the tree with desire, and curiosity can it be applied in different situations? Mat 5:28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. I believe Satan went to Eve, as the weaker vessel, knowing he stood a better chance, than with Adam. Jas 1:14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. Could it be that simple? In Him Imm |

stjohn, You say, he is the source of all lying. when he said to her, "You will not surely die." and then strays further from truth by saying, "For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil." Did the serpent surely LIE to Eve? Gen 3:5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. For God said afterward. Gen 3:22 And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever: "You will not surely die." Yup that there surely is a lie of Satan. In Him Imm |

19 | Are the "people" in Matt. 13 unsaveable? | Matt 13:36 | Immanuelsown | 207755 | ||
Wee Willy, Jesus was actually saying, the Nation of Israel, was blinded. Although thousands of Jews did follow Jesus. Think about it, if the Nation of Israel, had accepted him as Messiah, the restoring of the Kingdom to Israel, would have taken place at that time. The Nation therefore had to be blinded, as Prophesied in Isaiah 6:9-12 So they would not be able to see, or hear Jesus declaring, the Kingdom of God to the world Remember, the Disciples also asked Jesus, after His Resection, will you at this time, restore the Kingdom to Israel? Act.1:6 (Salvation) had to come, to the Gentiles, in order for us to see, and enter His kingdom. All of the parables, are only about, the Kingdom of God, and nothing else. The knowledge of this Kingdom, has only been made available to Born Again Christians. It is still hidden from the Nation of Israel In Him Imm |

20 | Heb6:4-6 Loosing salvation or what? | Heb 6:4 | Immanuelsown | 207753 | ||
Beja, I haven't gone into any in depth study, I will just put it out there for the Forum to see and judge. I have been doing a lot of reading, and rereading on this question, what I now see is something, that has turned out to be obvious, but was hidden, until a short time ago. I guess it's a question of awareness. What I became aware of is the fact, Heb. 6:1. Starts with (THEREFORE). Would you ever start a sentence with (therefore,) unless you had already said something, that you wanted to emphasize? So I went back to Heb. 5 for the beginning of the thought.(context) He had just called them babes, in need of teaching! 5:11 to 6:8 turns out to be a chastisement of the Hebrews. An explanation of truth to them, so they would understand where, and in whom they stood. Read this passage with an attitude of frustration with a people, that he (Paul) had already travailed in birth for. Look at the entire book, I believe you could take 1:1 to 13:25 as one complete teaching. But 5:11 to 6:8 does not go with anything else in the book, he makes his remarks, then promptly goes right back to where he was before. Then in Heb.10:26-32 he says the same thing again. This appears to be an admonition to a people, that are wavering in their belief, and he is showing them the impossibility of it. I have always read the passage Heb. 6:4-6 as speaking of regenerate people, who become apostate. It was to me, the only logical explanation, to eternal security. Now my eternal security is more secure:-) I now believe he was explaining to them, just how secure they, truly were. In Him Imm |
