5 | We perfect our faith? | Matt 22:37 | bygraceyearesaved | 31025 | ||
Charis, you are totally right we don't live a sinless life. So why are there so many christians trying to condemn? when Roms.8:1 tells me " there is therefore NOW no condemnation to them which are in CHRIST JESUS, who walk after the flesh,but after the spirit". Now Paul did write "without the law i would not know the meaning of sin". Judging between right and wrong is a value system,the idea of building a lifestyle around a system dates back to the dawn of mankind. God's purpose in creating people was that HE might enjoy them,expressing HIS loving nature to them and through them. HE lovingly placed Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden and gave them reign over the Garden and all that was in it.One aspect of freedom is choice,for where there is no choice there is no real freedom.Consequently, two trees were placed in the Garden about which Adam and Eve would make a choice. How they chose would determine not only their destiny, but the destiny of all future generations(Gen.2:9) continue being blessed in your studies and remember......... bygraceyearesaved |

6 | We perfect our faith? | Matt 22:37 | bygraceyearesaved | 30920 | ||
Charis, I would like to answer your question " If sin is just sin, then we can do as much of it as we please as long as we don't deny Jesus? Yes, you can sin. However when you understand your identity in Christ, you don't want to sin. Understanding your identity produces a desire for an intimate relationship and fellowship with your Heavenly Father. If you don't know who you are, you may see youself as a servant who must make restitution for sin. Servants find it difficult to enjoy an intimate love relationship with their masters. However, sons and fathers are able to enjoy each other. Do you see yourself primarily as God's child or His servant? | ||||||

10 | "ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED"!!! | Matt 22:37 | bygraceyearesaved | 30809 | ||
God Bless You ArtS, The father thought the son was physically and spritually dead and when the son tryed to give his CONFESSION speech on how he had made a foolish decision by sinning AGAINST HEAVEN the father accepted the son for who was and didn't charge the son for what he did because the father knew and understood that he made a bad decision and the reason the father thought the son was dead because the son went out and forgot who he was(verse17) and he wasn't able to survive on his own ,like i wrote before the father knew his sons' weakness. |

11 | "ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED"!!! | Matt 22:37 | bygraceyearesaved | 30685 | ||
Was the prodigal son's father angry with him at any time? There is absolutely no indication of that in scripture.He just wanted his son to see the foolishness of his behavior and come on home. The father never stopped accepting the son, although the prodigal felt that way. Because the prodigal didn"t understand his own identity, he believed he was unworthy of an intimate relationship with his father. He thought that he had forfeited the right to relate to his father as a son and that his father would reject him.He saw himself as a bad person who could only hope to be a servant in his father's house.Did the father show any reluctance to receive him? This boy was his son!!!!Nothing would ever change that. He was his son BEFORE he went to the far country, while he was IN the far country, and when he came BACK from the far country. Nothing changes sonship!!!! The prodigal had forgotten who he was,but the father had never forgotten for a moment.The father did give him the inheritance .Do you think the father suspected how the son would waste it? He had lived with the boy every day of the child's life and the father knew his son's weakness.It didn't shock the father when the son left home for the far country. The father allowed him to leave,knowing that he would waste the money on a wild fling.Do you think our sins surprise God? He knows you;Nothing we do surprises an omniscient God.I'm not saying that God doesn"t care when we sin. It grieves the heart of our Father when he sees us make foolish choices,but it doesn't surprise HIM. For example as biological parents it hurts us to see our children make foolish choices but that doesn"t mean we stop loving and forgiving them (and it definitely doesn't surprise us!!)SO tell me "How did the prodigal son become dead to God until he came back to HIM? | ||||||
12 | "ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED"!!! | Matt 22:37 | bygraceyearesaved | 30667 | ||
God Bless Everyone, this is coming from bygraceyearesaved, I'm addressing the prodigal son issue: This is not a parable about forgivenes; it is about acceptance,and the wayward son's attitude about a relationship to his father. When he ran out of resources and determined to return his father,he rehearsed the speech he intended to use to gain acceptance when he returned home(Luke15:18-19). Here is a young rebel who thought he was unworthy of his father's acceptance because of his sinful behavior. He determined to go home and ask his father's forgiveness. His sense of unworthines caused him to believe that he could only hope to be a servant.Yet the story clearly demonstrates that the father had already forgiven him and was ready to fully accept him when he returned home.In fact, when his father saw him from a distance, he ran toward him and fell on his neck,kissing him.The son then tried to give his prepared speech(verses22-23). We hear much about the importance of asking for God's forgiveness when we sin. Yet the Bible clearly teaches that total forgiveness was given to us when we received Christ.God has forgiven us of our SIN NATURE.That means that every indidual sin we would commit was forgiven. So explain to me How the son lost his inheritance?Because you throw in a contradiction when you said"the prodigal son didn't "lose" his inheritance he "gave it up". So technically if you give something up you have lost it. | ||||||
13 | Placing more burdens on you? | 1 Corinthians | bygraceyearesaved | 30652 | ||
This is in response to what David (aka In "HIS" Grip) said about God placing more burdens on us than we can bear. I knew someone would mention 1Cor.10:13, but that scripture is about temptation from sin (Look at 1Cor.6:12;10;23). God will allow the burden to be greater than you can bear so that you will finally alow HIM to bear it for you. God's purpose in the breaking process is to bring you to the end of your own resources so that you will be ready to understand that HE is the only resource you need in life. As long as your own abilities are sufficent to arise to the challenge, you will never understand that HE doesn't just give strength; HE is your strength. Paul said in 2 Cor1:8-10 For we would not,brethren, have you IGNORANT of our trouble which came to us in Asia, THAT WE WERE PRESSED (BURDENED) OUT OF MEASURE, ABOVE STRENGTH, INSOMUCH THAT WE DESPAIRED EVEN LIFE: BUT WE HAD THE SENTENCE OF DEATH IN OURSELVES, THAT WE SHOULD NOT TRUST IN OURSELVES, BUT GOD WHICH RAISETH THE DEAD: WHO DELIVERED US FROM SO GREAT OF DEATH, AND DOTH DELIVER: IN WHOM WE TRUST THAT HE WILL YET DELIVER US.(Also look at 2 Cor.12:9-10)In the breaking process, God has no intention of helping you get STRONGER. HE wants you to become so weak that HE can express Himself as the strength you need in every sitution. A synonym for flesh may be self-sufficiency. It is God's purpose to bring us to the place where we rest totally in the sufficency of Christ within every sitution. Yet we have all learned how to handle life's circumstances by what WE do ourselves. Many Americans believe "God helps those who HELP themselves. And sadly, many CHRISTIANS have spiritualized that same false philosophy and concluded that God will bless us as we "DO OUR PART". Trying to do something for God may sound admirable, but it produces damaging consequences; for example when Abraham heard that he and sarah were going to have a son , they were really excited. As the years went by, Sarah still didn't conceive, they decided to HELP God fulfill HIS PROMISE. Abraham went to Hagar and she did conceive. However, Ishmeal was not the son God had promised. The son of promise would come through Sarah, and it would happen on God's timing.Abraham and Sarah were very sincere, but they really made a mess of things. They were trying to DO SOMETHING TO HELP GOD. One result of their self-sufficiency is the on going conflict between the Arabs and the Jews. The descendants of Issac and Ishmeal are still at war, all because Abraham and sarah thought that God would bless THEIR efforts to HELP HIM. I really appreciate the prayer for me and i pray that this gives you a little more insight on why i feel the way that i do about "placing more burdens on you than you can bear". Continue being blessed, bygraceyearesaved |

14 | God's Forgiveness of Sin | Mic 7:19 | bygraceyearesaved | 30522 | ||
Tis is coming from bygraceyearesaved, I'm addressing the topic of Forgiveness of sins. God didn't deposit forgiveness of into an account with our name on it so that we can make wihtdrawals when we need it. When we wereborn again, He emptied the entire forgiveness account on us!!!! Our debt was paid in full when Jesus Christ died , and it became effective in our lives when we turned to Him in faith. | ||||||

18 | "ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED"!!! | Matt 22:37 | bygraceyearesaved | 30512 | ||
This is coming from bygraceyearesaved, I did not mean to start a debate when I presented the "Once saved always saved" concept(1/11/02). Some of you got offended, and so you started throwing in theories(Calvinist),legalism and other points that got away from the initial question. So now let's analyze the phrase the "old man" that Paul referred to describing our old sin nature that gave us our identity before we got saved by Grace,through faith.Since we have only one nature now. the nature of Jesus Christ, the question is "What happened to our old man? "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ,he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new". We have already discovered God has created a NEW person when we trusted Christ as our Savior.Maybe you haven't believed that your old sin nature is dead. "I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives IN ME; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by FAITH in the IN SON OF GOD, who loved me and gave HIMSELF for me (Gal.2:20).When Paul said he had "been crucified with Christ", he spoke of a past event. The Greek word translated "crucified" is in the present tense, indicating that it was a historical event which continues to have present implications. He went on to say, "It is no longer I who live." There is an unavoidable truth in this verse. Our sin nature died with Jesus Christ on the cross almost 2,000 years ago. If you have trouble accepting that fact, then consider this question IF IT WASN'T OUR SIN NATURE THAT DIED, WHAT DID DIE?(Rom.6:2-3,and 6-8) | ||||||
19 | Did Peter lost his salvation? | Bible general Archive 1 | bygraceyearesaved | 30184 | ||
This is coming from bygraceyearesaved and i"m directing this to the "once save always save" concept and to Is Judas still saved? Even though Judas betrayed Jesus and murdered himself, Jesus knew beforehand and mentioned the betrayal at the last supper. Just like Jesus told Peter "On this rock I will build my church and the gates of hell will not prevail against it"(Matt.16:18).And then in Matt.26:31-35;Mark14:27-31;Luke22:54-62;John18:15-18(NIV Version) Jesus foretells Peters' denial of him. So does that mean that Peter lost his salvation since he denied Jesus also? | ||||||
