1 | Once saved always saved ??? | Not Specified | Timothy Hart | 143167 | ||
The question of salvation came up between a friend and myself. He and I agree that once saved always saved, except in the event that you reject God. Well if that is true then we then have to define rejection. He thinks by some undertermined amount of sinning and or lack of good works you are in essence "rejecting God". Where I would define rejection as a state of mind that says " I dont want God or what He has to offer". Now I guess what really bothers me is in my mind I choose to believe in Christ and the work He did but I am not doing so well in the works department. Is my salvation in jeopardy? I have always thought of it this way, get saved....go to heaven. do good works ......be blessed in this world and in heaven. Dont do good works and sin.....curses in this world but still go to heaven. LOL im starting to confuse myself :) Any clarity in this MUCH appreciated |

3 | To sacrifice or not to sacrifice ? | Not Specified | Timothy Hart | 120189 | ||
NIV Psalm 40 5 Many, O LORD my God, are the wonders you have done. The things you planned for us no one can recount to you; were I to speak and tell of them, they would be too many to declare. 6 Sacrifice and offering you did not desire, but my ears you have pierced burnt offerings and sin offerings you did not require. 7 Then I said, "Here I am, I have come- it is written about me in the scroll. Psalm 51 15 O Lord, open my lips, and my mouth will declare your praise. 16 You do not delight in sacrifice, or I would bring it; you do not take pleasure in burnt offerings. 17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise Here are 2 verses that say the Lord does not desire, delight, take pleasure or even require burnt offerings. I think there are some other similar references that I cannot find at the moment. After reading the old testament system of tabernacle sacrafice setup by God , what are we to make of these verses ? |

6 | who can explain to me? | John 1:1 | Timothy Hart | 120159 | ||
well simply, someone may have a more elaborate answer, but the WORD as used here refers to Jesus. We cannot fully explain God with our limited minds so I think this is one of God's ways of describing Jesus to us. I found in rev3:14 where God is refered to as the AMEN. There is power in the word of God and a presence. So I guess in this instance "Word" is both a verb and a noun. If anyone finds me in error please let me know God's blessings to you ,,, |

7 | My question is did Solomon die in or out | 1 Kings | Timothy Hart | 119932 | ||
well....as to his presence in the kingdom of God I cannot speak but he did worship many false gods. His relationship to with God was one of selfishness for his own desires all through his life. Ecclesiastes which i believe was written later in life doesnt have much a note of repentance as does his fathers letters in psalms. | ||||||

9 | Please explain the verse? | 1 Kings | Timothy Hart | 119930 | ||
Sounds like a bit of sarcasm on Elijah's part.He knows who the true God is. I believe the people too knew who the real God is as well. | ||||||
