1 | Robots? | Gen 4:7 | sniper | 79636 | ||
inhisname, I appreciate that you are trying to correct error when you see it. I hope that I am big enough to admit when I am wrong, and I hope the same for you. Do you think that God would be pleased with people who loved him and obeyed Him only because they were forced to? Do you think that God would truly be happy with someone followed him only because He gave them the belief and obedience? Wouldn't that make us robots acting only in the ways in which God has programmed us? I believe that the Bible teaches the freewill of man, and that God is pleased when someone obeys Him because they chose to love Him. God bless you in youe search for truth. sniper |

2 | No obedience necessary? | 2 Thess 1:8 | sniper | 79419 | ||
I am asking, that to fully understand this question, you review post 79367. Does 2 Thess 1:8 (dealing out retribution to those who do not know God and to those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus.) mean that we dont have to obey to be saved? In looking back to verse 7, what does it mean to have Jesus revealed in flaming fire dealing out retribution to those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus? |

3 | No obedience necessary? | Acts 2:38 | sniper | 79418 | ||
Searcher, I honestly don't even think your post deserves a response. You can't be serious, but I am going to pose this question to the forum. In fact, since once again a valuable discussion (which may have been in danger of convincing some) has been removed from the main page, I feel as though I am safe in telling you that you are being dishonest with your interpretation. To pick just one of the verses I quoted, does 2 Thess 1:8 (dealing out retribution to those who do not know God and to those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus.) mean that we dont have to obey to be saved? In looking back to verse 7, what does it mean to have Jesus revealed in flaming fire dealing out retribution to those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus? I hope you really are searching.

4 | Possible that the all scholars wrong? | Acts 2:38 | sniper | 79267 | ||
Disciplerami, That is an amazing list. 54 versions with the same translation! I was just as amazed to see the reaction to the list. One who posts here stated that the translations have failed us! Is it possible that all the scholars who translated those many versions were all wrong? God bless. |

5 | Sovereign? | James 2:19 | sniper | 79011 | ||
Disciplerami, Thanks for all the work you put into that answer, I sincerely appreciate it. I agree that God has made himself known to all men so that they are without excuse. Is it possible in any scenario, given all you have said about God being evident to all men, that God could withhold salvation from some simply because he desires to do so? In other words, since all men have the natural ability to detect the Creator is it possible that God simply will not save some because it his soveriegn right? In such a case would that man be without excuse, or would he have the excuse that God never sparked him with the Holy Spirit? God Bless. |

6 | Oughtness? | James 2:19 | sniper | 78939 | ||
Disciplerami, Alright, we are pretty much eye to eye here. I need some more clarification on the oughtness. If oughtness is a built sense, and if oughtness is a measure of faith, did God build faith into man? Is this a result of being created in the image of God, a thinking, reasoning being? God bless. |

7 | Belief in God? | James 2:19 | sniper | 78734 | ||
What does it take to believe that there is a God? How does one know that there is a God? Other than philosophical arguments what is the evidence that there is God? How does a person born in the most remote wilderness know that there is a God to be sought after? Does it ultimately come down to faith? | ||||||

Support? You should not make this statement without, at least, attempting to prove it. Thanks, sniper |

9 | Repentance and Confession - obedience? | Romans | sniper | 77155 | ||
Aren't repentance and confession step of obedience? Let me answer that, yes they are. What makes them any different than baptism? God makes a comand and we obey, not out of a sense of entitlement, but because we love Him and want to follow him. God's gift is exactly that- a gift- we never could earn salvation. Baptism is not an added step, it the final step in a clearly delineated process. I once believed as you do regarding baptism. I got tired of twisting the Bible around to fit my beliefs. I just accept it for what it says. May God bless you. |

10 | What does it mean? | Bible general Archive 1 | sniper | 77149 | ||
Tim, What then, does "for the forgiveness of YOUR sins" mean? Is it just a statement dangling without meaning or relevence to the sentence? Why is it there? Have all the translators of various versions made some kind of mistake? You may choose to deny the obvious, but I cannot. Although I studied Greek in college, I am hardly a scholar. So, I cannot argue intelligently about Greek sentence structure. But again, all the translations I have read make quite clear that forgiveness of sins follows repentance AND baptism. I really don't understand the hang up. It is not as though you are earning anything. You are just doing what God has commanded, and in the end you receive a gift which never could have been earned. To God be the glory. |

11 | Is baptism an evidence of faith? | Romans | sniper | 77127 | ||
I have posted many questions regarding evidence of faith. It seems that most generally agree that confession of belief, and repentance are evidence of faith. Furthermore, it seems to be generally agreed that confession and repentance are necessary for salvation. In the same vein of questions, is baptism an evidence of faith? If so, is baptism necessary for salvation just as confession and repentance are necessary? | ||||||
