1 | What Sin? | John | GeorJoy | 102376 | ||
NO Sin causes a person to loose his salvation! It is the lack of repentance and continuance therein. It is called "backsliding" and is refered to in the book you quote from. Did you happen to overlook it? Pro 14:14. You may wish to ponder this chapter, dear soul. It is so easy to read the thoughts of the simple minded where scripture is quoted. Perhaps they never learned, or they are so soon to forget that Saton himself quoted from scripture. I should think that even the simple minded should posses, at the very least, a minute amount of discernment. This is not so. They are ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. Exhorting In Christ George |

2 | The Law: Abolished or Not Abolished? | Matt 5:17 | GeorJoy | 102322 | ||
Sabbath keeping is one thing. Tything is a totally different matter. Radioman2, I have read many of your posts. I must have somehow gotten a wrong impression. In your profile, you make the statement, "I believe that the entire Bible is the inspired and inerrant word of God; the only infallible rule of faith and practice." In the development of your belief, is it possiable that you have overlooked 2Ti 2:15. Was this the post I am responding to a "loaded question," or were those mere words without meaning? Bluntly, I ask this question without malice, because I am as I am, and at the moment, I am a more than a little confused. George |

3 | Death? | Eph 2:1 | GeorJoy | 102297 | ||
Rom 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Rom 3:24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Rom 3:25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; I had a long response. The browser lost it. This will do. George |

4 | Please I'm looking for your opinion! | Bible general Archive 2 | GeorJoy | 102185 | ||
There is so much that could be added to these words that the many posts would not hold it all. Now... I would ask of those who would be the Lords Shepherds; Are we going to "just" sit on our ever expanding hind sides discussing it? What are we going to do about it? George |
||||||
5 | Death? | Eph 2:1 | GeorJoy | 102179 | ||
It is "physical." Prior to Adams sin, there was no death. Spiritual death can best be discribed as the physical death of one who has failed to accept the fact that, through Christs death on the cross, the penalty for the sins of many who believe and repent was paid. God Bless George |

6 | where can i find this in the bible | NT general Archive 1 | GeorJoy | 102092 | ||
May I ask, how can one chase God? For He is not running from anyone. Exhorting In Christ George |
||||||
7 | What about man's spiritual condition? | Eph 2:1 | GeorJoy | 102091 | ||
Yes. But... there is hope... Rom 5:14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come. Rom 5:15 But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many. In Christ George |

8 | advice | Hebrews | GeorJoy | 102090 | ||
I would attest that all "anyone" needs to understand is that Christ paid the sin penalty on the cross, and that one needs is to believe that, repent and be saved. For Gal 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. Exhorting in Christ George |

9 | HELP ME PLEASE...I am not content! | Rom 12:1 | GeorJoy | 101957 | ||
Dear soul, seek professional advise. A forum such as this is a dangerous place to seek such advise. First though, I would suggest you take your burdon to Him whos yoke is not too heavy to bear. Ours is an ALMIGHTY God. There is nothing He can not do. And if you have accepted His son, confessed your sins and are doing your best, there is nothing you can ask "In His name" that will not be done. The thought itself is not the sin. It is the execution thereof. Do not allow such thoughts to grow in your mind. Meditate on His word. Prayerfully in Christ George |

10 | MARK 16:16: Was it perverted? | Bible general Archive 2 | GeorJoy | 101952 | ||
Jesus did say as you quoted, but it is also written, "But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:" It did not say "to them that believe on his name and are baptized..." Baptism is a profession before "man" of ones faith. "A symbol." Not a necessity for salvation. The bible must be taken as a whole before one can glean the true wealth thereof. Not a bit here and a morsel there. This is the biggest downfall of the "so called Christian" today. IGNORANCE. If you listen close enough your "discernment" will tell you if these so called evangelists are false prophets or not, "for many will come in my name... but..." Your best defence to protect from a counterfeit is to know the original. And, I believe it has been said "the best offence is a good defence." So... How can one know the original? How can one defend their immortal soul? Simple.... Read and head 2Ti 2:15. In Christ George |

11 | Paul Advocating Moderation | Phil 4:5 | GeorJoy | 101941 | ||
(KJV)Phi 4:5 Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand. I can only imagine how the word moderation was translated "gentle spirit" in some versions. God Bless George |
||||||
12 | ghosts? | Eph 6:12 | GeorJoy | 101938 | ||
Many will say no, but I will attest to the fact that those who do either have not read scripture or simply do not understand it. Yes. I believe in such anomalies. I have experienced such. My bible states that it is real. Eph 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. The OT makes mention of at least one actual happening as well. I believe it was refered to as a spirit though, not ghost. They are basically one and the same. God Bless George |

13 | there is no jewishness in the church why | John 10:30 | GeorJoy | 101934 | ||
It is my understanding that the Jewish religion,(Judaism) teaches that we are still under the law of Moses; that they believe that Jesus was simply another prophet, not the messiah. They are still waiting for the messiah. Imagine how surprised they are going to be when that messiah returns! We Christians are NOT under the Law of Moses. Christ died on the cross to pay the penalty for the sins of all who call on him, repent and believe in Him. Christ was the fulfillment of the law. Jesus was and is the Christ. Mat 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill. If only they could, or would read the history that they are so proud to proclaim, for He and the events of His life are fortold over and over therein. He in the stumblingblock that was fortold. Christ freed us from the bondage of the law. Read the book of Galatians. It's only 6 short chapters. I should think that one of the Jewish faith wouldn't have anything good to say about this book. Particularly where Paul states that he wished that the "agitators" who were advocating the law would go the whole way and castrate themselves. In Christ Geiorge |

14 | What is an Apostle? | Bible general Archive 2 | GeorJoy | 101898 | ||
Per Mr Webster 1 : one sent on a mission: as a : one of an authoritative New Testament group sent out to preach the gospel and made up especially of Christ's 12 original disciples and Paul b : the first prominent Christian missionary to a region or group 2 a : a person who initiates a great moral reform or who first advocates an important belief or system b : an ardent supporter : ADHERENT 3 : the highest ecclesiastical official in some church organizations There are 3 levels of apostleship. (1)The apostleship of Christ. (2)That of the original 12 (3)The one that continues to this day as defined above. Keep in mind however that "all believers" are not blessed with the same gifts. One may be blessed with leadership, another prophesy, or the utterance of unknown toungs or interpritation thereof. Still yet, another may be blessed with the gift of serving others, or exortation. Whatever our gift, the discovery and the nurturing and development thereof is the responsibility of the individual and that individuals pastor who, if he is doing his job in accordance with the Word, fills the position as "shepherd" and "protector" to that individual. Too many pastors need to be reminded of this responsibility in the mannor that those recorded in the Word they supposedly preach, have been reminded. Exhorting in Christ George |

15 | "JESUS ONLY!" Is He not really? | John 10:30 | GeorJoy | 101628 | ||
Many churches are founded and or pastored by Gifted, yet relatively unlearned individuals. SO, The best answer I can think of is in 2Ti 2:15; Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. Like the book of revelations, many learned pastors avoid this topic. It is mind boggling to see how easily people are misled and remain ignorant simply because they “do not understand the bible.” The truth is that the greatest majority are simply too lazy to try to understand the bible. This makes them fair game to those who would attempt to teach them, when they themselves have never been taught. When you find a church that can teach the “trinity” in an understandable manor, chances are you have found a church that has a learned leader. Joh 10:30 I and the Father are one. God bless George |

16 | Will suicide condem my soul to hell? | Bible general Archive 2 | GeorJoy | 101513 | ||
Dear soul, was it not specified in the 10 commandments (Exo 20:13) that "Thou shalt not kill?" Is killing an unpardonable sin? No. Must we ask to receive forgiveness? Yes. Will a sin laden person enter the gates of heaven? No. If one kills himself, does he not commit sin by killing? Will that one receive forgiveness for that final sin? NO! They didn't get to ask. George |

18 | Hebrew idioms? | Luke 14:26 | GeorJoy | 101444 | ||
Lord Forgive him! For his words have finally labeled him... Till having read this post, I was not aware of the full extent of truth contained in my previous post to you, dear sole. I reference the note in which I used the word "REPROBATE." Per Mr Webster 1 : to condemn strongly as unworthy, unacceptable, or evil *reprobating the laxity of the age* 2 : to foreordain to damnation 3 : to refuse to accept : REJECT synonyms see CRITICIZE –reprobative \*re-pr*-*b*-tiv\ adjective –reprobatory \-b*-*t*r-*, -*t*r-\ adjective After having read this admission from this individual who desecrate the words "seeking4truth;" any who would now say that I have "crossed the line" should consider where their line lies. For what I have said and quoted to this person, I make no appologies. For the post which contains the words to which I apply this note, does not "seek4truth." It admittedly seeks to twist and distort truth. To those who would feed his flames, I would say; open your eyes. and consider closing your mouth. I will follow my own advise . I ask that all who read would join me in prayer for this poor soul. No profound amount of truth dirrected at such an individual will do anything other than confuse and confound the dirrector. Words dirrected in prayer will accomplish what we can not. It is apparent that what this person calls humility is pure arrogence in a poor disguise! No doubt this will fool many. Exortating in its fullest and in Christ. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. George |

19 | George, do you believe? | Luke 14:26 | GeorJoy | 101388 | ||
Tell me friend where the Word says "ALL believers" shall do these things? I have faith. I have yet to cast a mountain into the sea though. But I am not going to let this send my soul to hell! There are many things that scripture speaks of that I personally do not understand. Do you, my friend “have” to understand the Word of God before you can accept it? If so, I should think that you are a very smart person, for I can’t say that I fully understand how the internet works or how voice or pictures are transmitted through wires and the air. I am fairly proficient when it comes to computers. I can even tear them apart and put them back together in functional condition, but when it comes to the electronic functions thereof, I am ignorant. I am very proficient when it comes to refrigeration. Are you? Do you know how your refrigerator produces cold to maintain your foods and beverages? For that matter, can you tell me how it is that cold keeps food from spoiling or how it is that this computer does what it does? My point is that if understanding came before acceptance, the human race would accept very little…. Then where would the internet be? Where would society itself be? What is the difference? When it comes to the eternal existence of our immortal souls, why are we so stubborn? So foolish? So down right HARD HEADED and utterly STUPID! I don’t claim to know all the answers when it comes to the LIVING Word! What I do know is that it is THE LIVING Word of God! There is no doubt in my mind that it is true! This, my dear friend is called “faith.” Through faith, I have received many answers to questions that I have not even formulated in my mind. Through lifes experiences and some limited biblical study, I have received answers to questions that I asked a lifetime ago. There are many scriptures that I do not understand, but I will tell you this; my Lord has never let me down when it comes to providing an answer to those questions that were the deepest in my heart and soul. Those answers were not always as speedily received as I would have liked them to be, but they always came. You seem to be expecting perfection. For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men. For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: 1Co 1:27 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; When it comes to eternity, one day many will look back and marvel that they were so down right stupid, BUT it is not too late… Give up your stubbornness and read and heed the first verse I recommended. Meanwhile dear soul, look up Websters definition of the word “reprobate” and pray for all who are given over to it. Exhorting in Christ George |
