1 | DID PETER RESURRECT ANYONE? | Acts | hobbs | 185897 | ||
Acts 9:36 Now in Joppa there was a disciple named Tabitha (which translated in Greek is called Dorcas); this woman was abounding with deeds of kindness and charity which she continually did. Acts 9:37 And it happened at that time that she fell sick and died; and when they had washed her body, they laid it in an upper room. Acts 9:38 Since Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples, having heard that Peter was there, sent two men to him, imploring him, "Do not delay in coming to us." Acts 9:39 So Peter arose and went with them. When he arrived, they brought him into the upper room; and all the widows stood beside him, weeping and showing all the tunics and garments that Dorcas used to make while she was with them. Acts 9:40 But Peter sent them all out and knelt down and prayed, and turning to the body, he said, "Tabitha, arise." And she opened her eyes, and when she saw Peter, she sat up. Acts 9:41 And he gave her his hand and raised her up; and calling the saints and widows, he presented her alive. Acts 9:42 It became known all over Joppa, and many believed in the Lord. Acts 9:43 And Peter stayed many days in Joppa with a tanner named Simon. Of course we know that it was God who brought forth the miracle and that Peter was he that God used as an insturment of His grace. God Bless, Hobbs |

3 | why was joseph Forgotton? | NT general Archive 1 | hobbs | 185479 | ||
Dear maricjess, The Bible is the Word of God. It was written, not to answer all the questions that the curious may desire to know, but to Glorify Himself through the plan of redemption of His elect people. Matt 1:21 "She will bear a Son; and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins." God Bless, John |

4 | eph 1:4-5 what is predestination, chosen | Bible general Archive 3 | hobbs | 185242 | ||
Predestination - This word is properly used only with reference to God's plan or purpose of salvation. The Greek word rendered "predestinate" is found only in these six passages, Acts 4:28; Rom. 8:29, 30; 1 Cor. 2:7; Eph. 1:5, 11; and in all of them it has the same meaning. They teach that the eternal, sovereign, immutable, and unconditional decree or "determinate purpose" of God governs all events. This doctrine of predestination or election is beset with many difficulties. It belongs to the "secret things" of God. But if we take the revealed word of God as our guide, we must accept this doctrine with all its mysteriousness, and settle all our questionings in the humble, devout acknowledgment, "Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight." For the teaching of Scripture on this subject let the following passages be examined in addition to those referred to above; Gen. 21:12; Ex. 9:16; 33:19; Deut. 10:15; 32:8; Josh. 11:20; 1 Sam. 12:22; 2 Chr. 6:6; Ps. 33:12; 65:4; 78:68; 135:4; Isa. 41:1-10; Jer. 1:5; Mark 13:20; Luke 22:22; John 6:37; 15:16; 17:2, 6, 9; Acts 2:28; 3:18; 4:28; 13:48; 17:26; Rom. 9:11, 18, 21; 11:5; Eph. 3:11; 1 Thess. 1:4; 2 Thess. 2:13; 2 Tim. 1:9; Titus 1:2; 1 Pet. 1:2. (See DECREES OF GOD ¯T0001002; ELECTION.) Hodge has well remarked that, "rightly understood, this doctrine (1) exalts the majesty and absolute sovereignty of God, while it illustrates the riches of his free grace and his just displeasure with sin. (2.) It enforces upon us the essential truth that salvation is entirely of grace. That no one can either complain if passed over, or boast himself if saved. (3.) It brings the inquirer to absolute self-despair and the cordial embrace of the free offer of Christ. (4.) In the case of the believer who has the witness in himself, this doctrine at once deepens his humility and elevates his confidence to the full assurance of hope"....

5 | Can a christian go to hell? | 1 Corinthians | hobbs | 185182 | ||
Matt 7:23 "And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.' John 6:37 "All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will certainly not cast out. Our Lord was defintely not speaking to His people whom He does knows. Who did Jesus come to save? Matt 1:21 "She will bear a Son; and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins." Notice, He came to save HIS people. Those whom the Father had given to Him |

6 | Are women part of covenant? | Gal 3:29 | hobbs | 184970 | ||
ROMANS 2 25 For circumcision indeed is of value if you obey the law, but if you break the law, your circumcision becomes uncircumcision. 26 So, if a man who is uncircumcised keeps the precepts of the law, will not his uncircumcision be regarded [2] as circumcision? 27 Then he who is physically uncircumcised but keeps the law will condemn you who have the written code [3] and circumcision but break the law. 28 For no one is a Jew who is merely one outwardly, nor is circumcision outward and physical. 29 But a Jew is one inwardly, and circumcision is a matter of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the letter. His praise is not from man but from God. |

John 6:44 "No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up on the last day. John 6:45 "It is written in the prophets, 'AND THEY SHALL ALL BE TAUGHT OF GOD.'

John 6:47 "Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes has eternal life. Those who seek the Lord do so because they been drawn by the Father. They do so for they have been taught and have learned. They are truly the Elect of God. Read John 6 in it's entirety; its meaning is unmistakeable. God Bless, Hobbs |

11 | how do I fight enemy in my dreams | Rom 8:28 | hobbs | 177050 | ||
My own favorite weapon from God's arsenal is Romans 8:28 "for we know that all things work together for good for those who love God and have been called according to His purpose". Therefore, even nightmares have a purpose and a place in our ongoing sanctification. Put on the full armour of God. |

Dear Searcher, In answer to your Question, I offer the following verses. 1 Cor 2:14 But a natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually appraised. Rom 8:28 And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. Eph 2:8 For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; I dare to say that the Church is not yet wholly sanctified; neither does it comprehend God's Word perfectly. Nevertheless, each and every saint has the righteousness of Christ imputed to him/her. We will be to occupied with oferring Him praises to even think of ourselves and the flaws that caused our groaning in the world that has now been replaced. Hobbs |

15 | What if you never heard of God before? | Rom 3:11 | hobbs | 174170 | ||
Dear Gen, The sad fact is that no son of Adam has any regard at all for God or His Christ! Rom 3:11 THERE IS NONE WHO UNDERSTANDS, THERE IS NONE WHO SEEKS FOR GOD; Rom 3:12 ALL HAVE TURNED ASIDE, TOGETHER THEY HAVE BECOME USELESS; THERE IS NONE WHO DOES GOOD, THERE IS NOT EVEN ONE." 1 Cor 2:14 But a natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually appraised. If man's only hope lay in his capacity to believe in and to desire Christ, not one single person would escape the wrath of God...NOT EVEN ONE! John |

16 | Can know Jesus then lose salvation? | Matt 13:20 | hobbs | 173780 | ||
Bereaniam, I believe the following verses support the doctrine that true the elect of God will never totally fall away. Matt 13:20 "The one on whom seed was sown on the rocky places, this is the man who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy; Matt 13:21 yet he has no firm root in himself, but is only temporary, and when affliction or persecution arises because of the word, immediately he falls away. I myself, absented my self from the worship of God for a number of years. Praise God! He sought after me and returned me to the fold. I believe we perservere in our faith to the end, because He causes uw to persevere. That we are His workmanship; clay in the hands of the potter. John |

17 | You might be a carnal christian if--- | 1 Corinthians | hobbs | 173642 | ||
"Is there such a thing as a Carnal Christian?" Answer Yes, in fact, there is no such thing as a Christian who is not at times carnal. Did you get that? And if you're saying to yourself, "I have never been carnal," then, "God have mercy on you." But let me tell you what people mean by that. There was a definition of a Christian as a Carnal Christian, as if that was a permanent condition. The people in the Church used to teach that there were three kinds of people, Natural, Carnal, and Spiritual. And they would define the Natural person as unregenerate, unsaved, self on the throne, life in chaos, and sin everywhere. Then there is the Carnal person. What's that? That's the Christian who still has self on the throne. Christ is still in there somewhere, running around, but He is not in charge, and the life is still in chaos. So the only difference between a natural and a carnal person is that Christ is in there somewhere, but the life hasn't changed. And then thirdly, there is the Spiritual Christian. Self is off the throne, Christ is on it, and the life is all in order. And so people came up with the idea that you could be either a Carnal Christian or a Spiritual Christian. You know, once you are saved you could say, "Well, I am going to stay a Carnal Christian, I like it better." And that brings in this whole idea of Lordship, because those are the people who accepted Jesus as Savior, but not as Lord. Those are the people who said, "I don't want to go to Hell, and I want you to save me from Hell and I want you to forgive my sins, but I just don't want you to run my life. And the old definition of a Carnal Christian was a person who believed in Jesus for salvation, but didn't let Him be Lord, and didn't let Him run his life. That's not what a Carnal Christian is. That isn't at all what Paul had in mind in 1Corinthians 3, not at all. Let me show you what it is. There is only two kinds of people in the world. My grandfather use to say the "saints" and the "ain’ts," that's it, Christians and Non-Christians, Believers and Unbelievers. Now listen, the Natural man is the unregenerate. The Spiritual man is the regenerate man. Read Romans 8, the Spiritual man is the regenerate. But the Spiritual man can act in a fleshly way. Anytime you disobey the Lord, you are carnal. Anytime you obey the Lord, you are Spiritual. Anytime you do what you ought not to do, you are carnal. That means fleshy, you're operating off the principle of sin. Anytime you do what the Lord wants you to do, you honor the Word. So carnality is not a permanent state of Christians who have not given Christ Lordship. Carnality is simply a momentary experience of the Believer who is disobedient to God. So it is not a state, it is simply a kind of behavior. And all Christians at any given moment, right now, this moment here, are either Carnal or Spiritual, depending on whether you functioning in the Spirit or in the flesh. If you are sitting there and the Spirit of God is teaching you, and you are enjoying what's happening, then the Spirit of God is at work, you're a Spiritual person. If you're sitting there saying, "I don't like what he is saying, I don't buy any of this stuff. I reject all this stuff. This stuff isn't true." And you have hostility in your heart, and you may be dealing with sin, and you don't like what I said, I don't know. Your flesh is reacting, that's Carnality. Understand?

18 | Will Power and God | John 7:16 | hobbs | 173566 | ||
Dear Jason, Yes, I have heard that "where there is a will, there is a way." The problem I have with this saying is that, taken to the extreme, it places man on par with God Almighty! Luke 12:16-23 And He told them a parable, saying, "The land of a rich man was very productive. "And he began reasoning to himself, saying, 'What shall I do, since I have no place to store my crops?' "Then he said, 'This is what I will do: I will tear down my barns and build larger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods. 'And I will say to my soul, "Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years to come; take your ease, eat, drink and be merry."' "But God said to him, 'You fool! This very night your soul is required of you; and now who will own what you have prepared?' "So is the man who stores up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God." And He said to His disciples, "For this reason I say to you, do not worry about your life, as to what you will eat; nor for your body, as to what you will put on. "For life is more than food, and the body more than clothing. John |

19 | Can non-Christians be in praise band? | 1 Corinthians | hobbs | 172294 | ||
If entertainment is what the people want.. what difference could it make? Hymns and spiritual songs that are sciptually based and that the congregation sings together, seem to be the biblical model. Col 3:16 Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you, with all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with thankfulness in your hearts to God. Eph 5:19 speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody with your heart to the Lord; Part of problem with our worship is that all too often we find ourselves praising and glorifying the Choir, Band, saxophonist, singer, preacher etc. Has God shown us in His Word what He considers to be pleasing in worship? Does it displease Him when we ignore His prescription in favor of what pleases us? Gen 4:5 but for Cain and for his offering He had no regard. God Help Us, John |

20 | "baptism of the Holy Spirit" | Eph 4:5 | hobbs | 172227 | ||
Eph 4:4 There is one body and one Spirit, just as also you were called in one hope of your calling; Eph 4:5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism, Eph 4:6 one God and Father of all who is over all and through all and in all. Eph 4:7 But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of Christ's gift. Dear Motengator, I see no reference to baptism in 1 cor 13 either. john |
