You have asked excellent questions, CD. But I think it would serve this audience best if you were to answer them. What do you suppose Jesus meant when he said they were of their father, the slanderous accuser? SATAN IS NOT THE FATHER OF BELIEVERS After all, verse 31 says that Jesus was speaking to "the people who believed in Him;" that is, people whom we would have considered "saved" (or the elite, the chosen ones, the sons of God). So, how do you explain what He meant? I believe the answer is simple. And it has nothing to do with God being the Creator of all. TRADITIONS AND DOCTRINES OF MEN It may be that what I am suggesting is NOT in opposition to what the Bible teaches, but rather is in opposition to what we've always been TOLD the Bible teaches. I try very hard to distinguish between Scripture and the "doctrines of men," which are loosely based on Scripture. Sometimes that requires me to let go of my preconceptions, which is never an easy thing to do. So, please, share your thoughts on what you think Jesus might have meant, when he claimed these upstanding believers in Christ were actually of their father, the slanderous accuser. GOD'S KINGDOM IS NOW Oh, and also explain WHY God would ever ask one of His children "Why should I let you come into My kingdom?" when that child is already IN His kingdom? What are you suggesting, by asking such a question... and on what Scripture do you base the assumption underlying the question? Thank you, CD, and I look forward to your hearing your answers. |

Dear Gospelcompilation: Please read the terms of use, if you have not done so already. You still have not provided scriptural support for your, forgive me for saying, but, dubious assertions. Maybe you didn't see this at the top of the home page? "IMPORTANT: DO NOT POST TO THIS FORUM until you familiarize yourself thoroughly with its guidelines. Click on "About the Forum" and read the instructions contained therein, including the section "Terms of Use." Be very sure that you understand and agree to comply with these guidelines. Failure to do so may result in revocation of your privilege to post." Opinions are just that, opinions, and we all have them. But this forum strives to keep them to a minimum, if you please. If you make yourself familiar with the terms of use and try to abide by them, you are more them welcome to stay and study the Bible with us. As it stands, you can see already, I am sure, by the negative responses to your posts that you have made a little bit of a stir. So, please comply with these terms, and I hope to see you around the forum! :-) Thank you, God bless John |

The Forum Terms of Use state very clearly that "Postings must be Biblically based and not opposing the Bible's sole authority (sola Scriptura), Christianity, or the deity of Jesus Christ." I have based my views solely on clear principles drawn from Scripture as a whole (as opposed to the normal practice of taking one or two verses out of context). If a person quotes a verse out of context and then builds an entire theology around it, then they are really offering nothing more than their opinion of what that one verse, taken out of context, means. So, every individual interpretation is really nothing more than one's opinion of what the verse means. That's why people can read the same verse and get several different meanings out of it (and, completely divergent meaning, at that)! So, please, for the sake of clarity... quote my words exactly as they appear in context, and SHOW me where I have "opposed the Bible's sole authority," or "opposed Christianity," or "opposed the deity of Jesus Christ." Those are the guidelines you say I have neglected. Please afford me the courtesy of demonstrating from my own words how I have failed to abide by these guidelines. Thank you in advance. |

I'm confused... you want precise quoting, but you aren't interested in quoting Scripture? Oh my. | ||||||

No, my friend. I want you to SHOW me, in my own writing, where I erred. I've never made the accusation that Scripture was incorrect, and therefore needed to be quoted directly to show the inaccuracy. You claim I erred. I'm asking you to SHOW me, so that I might either explain myself or correct my view. |

Gospelcompilation, But neither do you give scripture it's rightfull place. Ya see God's the one that calls the shots not us and what better place to find that than His Word. So is it you, me or others that are right or is it God. Without a doubt it's a whole lot better that God is right and not us. What say you? Gye |
