1 | unsaved in ministry | 1 Cor 12:1 | humbledbyhisgrace | 227865 | ||
Greetings greatlady! Read All of 1 Corinthians 12 Who gives the spiritual gifts? Who does He give them to? What is the purpose of the gifts? Other things to consider. Of what purpose does an unsaved person serving in any capacity of the body serve (1 Corinthians 12:3)? Another way we may want to ask this and ponder is, what affect on the body does it have when we are so careless to have the unsaved serving the body? Steve |

2 | What is God's unconditional love? | Eph 1:3 | humbledbyhisgrace | 227566 | ||
Greetings Dickinson! Ephesians 1:3-8 Many times we think of ourselves as sinners (which we are) and undeserving (which is true) yet He loves us anyway (which is also true). If we only think of it from the point of view He "loves us anyway" I fear we miss the depth of it. If we would also consider His "unconditional love" from where it starts so to speak it seems to me to fully explain it. Or perhaps I should say it gives me a much better understanding of it then I once had. Consider His sovereignty! I think we can safely say that His unconditional love is of His own sovereign will to do so. In that we have security that it is His choice and not based on anything we say or do. His choice not influenced by mankind or anything else! On His own and to His glory He has chosen this. It is to be this way because God Himself has made it so! It should give us confidence that this is not from the heart of man who's heart can change but rather from God's who never changes! Steve |

Greetings David! Considering the author of the scriptures and the intent of the gifts (i.e. for the body of Christ), why would we ever think something so important would be left out? Steve |

5 | Why do children lie? | Eph 2:3 | humbledbyhisgrace | 215522 | ||
Greetings Leslie! Welcome to the Study Bible Forum! The scriptures teach us that by nature we are children of wrath. Ephesians 2:1-3 (NASB) 2:1 And you were dead in your trespasses and sins, 2:2 in which you formerly walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience. 2:3 Among them we too all formerly lived in the lusts of our flesh, indulging the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest. and that all of us sin Romans 3:23 (NASB) for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God A child is no different then an adult regarding their sinful nature. A child will sin because it is their nature to sin. None of us grow up and become sinners. We grow up sinning because it is in our nature to do so. Just like it is with all of us, the child has no hope other then Jesus Christ. For only through Him will anyone be saved (John 3:16, Romans 6:23, John 14:6, Acts 4:12). Steve |

6 | explanation needed | Acts 8:37 | humbledbyhisgrace | 215434 | ||
The Greek aorist participle, epikalesamenos, translated calling on His name refers either to action which is simultaneous with or before that of the main verb. Here Paul’s calling on Christ’s name (for salvation) preceded his water baptism. The participle may be translated, “having called on His name.”—Bible Knowledge Commentary Acts 8:34-37 (NASB) 8:34 The eunuch answered Philip and said, "Please tell me, of whom does the prophet say this? Of himself or of someone else?" 8:35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and beginning from this Scripture he preached Jesus to him. 8:36 As they went along the road they came to some water; and the eunuch said*, "Look! Water! What prevents me from being baptized?" 8:37 [And Philip said, "If you believe with all your heart, you may." And he answered and said, "I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God."] Note in the above passage that "If you believe with all your heart, you may". Faith does not come through baptism... Romans 10:14-17 (NASB) 10:14 How then will they call on Him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in Him whom they have not heard? And how will they hear without a preacher? 10:15 How will they preach unless they are sent? Just as it is written, "HOW BEAUTIFUL ARE THE FEET OF THOSE WHO BRING GOOD NEWS OF GOOD THINGS!" 10:16 However, they did not all heed the good news; for Isaiah says, "LORD, WHO HAS BELIEVED OUR REPORT?" 10:17 So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ. Ephesians 2:8-9 (NASB) 2:8 For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; 2:9 not as a result of works, so that no one may boast. Steve |

7 | Does God ever turn His back on us? | Rom 8:39 | humbledbyhisgrace | 215406 | ||
Greetings saucybrat! Welcome to the Study Bible Forum! I think Paul had a much different view then your instructor does. What passage of scripture did your instructor point to as proof of the teaching? See Paul's view below. Romans 8:28-39 (NASB) 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. 8:29 For those whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brethren; 8:30 and these whom He predestined, He also called; and these whom He called, He also justified; and these whom He justified, He also glorified. 8:31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us? 8:32 He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him over for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things? 8:33 Who will bring a charge against God's elect? God is the one who justifies; 8:34 who is the one who condemns? Christ Jesus is He who died, yes, rather who was raised, who is at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us. 8:35 Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 8:36 Just as it is written, "FOR YOUR SAKE WE ARE BEING PUT TO DEATH ALL DAY LONG; WE WERE CONSIDERED AS SHEEP TO BE SLAUGHTERED." 8:37 But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us. 8:38 For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, 8:39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

8 | Reformers Say God's Mot. Of Salvatation? | Bible general Archive 4 | humbledbyhisgrace | 215398 | ||
What is Reformed Theology? Reformed theology... ...presupposes God's Word alone as our ultimate authority. ...stresses the sovereignty of God, that is, His reign over all things, meticulously determining (Eph 1:11) all that comes to pass (i.e. God is never taken by surprise). ...ephasizes a Christ-Centered proclamation of the gospel, that salvation is wholly of God, by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone as revealed in the Scripture alone to the Glory of God alone. ...views the Bible as a redemptive-historical organic unfolding of revelation which is structured by three covenants (redemption, works and grace). It goes without saying that those in the Reformed Tradition hold to the doctrines of grace (the five points of Calvinism), man's helpless condition apart from Christ, the necessity of evangelism and the work of the Holy Spirit who (monergistically) quickens the dead to life through the preaching of the word as God turning their heart of stone to flesh, and opening their eyes to the excellencies of the gospel (uniting them to Christ). In other words, RT stresses the way the objective, written Word together with the inner, supernatural ministry of the Holy Spirit work together. For the Word without the illumination of the Holy Spirit remains a closed book. We (the church) cast forth the seed of the gospel and the Holy Spirit germinates it, so to speak, with the blood of Christ bringing forth life in people from every nation, tribe, language, and people (Rev 14:6). RT traces its historical and theological lineage back to the theology of Christ, Paul, Augustine and to the Protestant Reformation of the 16th Century. The above is taken from http://www.monergism.com/ You can take the link "An Overview of Reformed Theology" on the main page to view the reference above. The page also includes other resources you may research for further study. Steve |

10 | Why did God tell Abraham to kill his son | Gen 22:2 | humbledbyhisgrace | 214877 | ||
Greetings bibleman12! First, and most important to keep in mind, doing ANYTHING God commands is not sin but rather obedience! The reverse is sin! Genesis 22:1 (NASB) Now it came about after these things, that God tested Abraham, and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am." God was not tempting Abraham, he was testing his faith. Would Abraham be obedient? God told Abraham to offer Isaac as a burnt offering not to "kill" him (Genesis 22:2). If indeed there was any temptation, it would have been Abraham's own heart to disobey God's command. James 1:13-15 (NASB) 1:13 Let no one say when he is tempted, "I am being tempted by God"; for God cannot be tempted by evil, and He Himself does not tempt anyone. 1:14 But each one is tempted when he is carried away and enticed by his own lust. 1:15 Then when lust has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and when sin is accomplished, it brings forth death. To fear God means to reverence Him as sovereign, trust Him implicitly, and obey Him without question. A true worshiper of God holds nothing back from God but obediently gives Him what He asks, trusting that He will provide. —Bible Knowledge Commentary Steve |

robert11567, We seem to have many who stop by this forum and ask what appears to be homework questions. Your questions would lead me to believe this is in fact one of those homework questions. Not only do you ask the question but you point to the specific verses the answer is found in. This then appears you did not even bother reading the verses to see what the answer is. If you read the verses of scripture you referenced in your questions that answer is clearly there. I want to encourage you to read God's word yourself first and see if you can find the answer. You will be blessed by God Himself if you spend time reading His word. God speaks to us through His word so if you do not take the time to read it, guess who you are not listening to and/or not hearing from? Steve |

Hi Crystal, Welcome to the Study Bible Forum! I see you have received some good responses to your question and I hope you will prayerfully consider what everyone has shared with you. I wanted to take the opportunity to share with you also because God's grace is so amazing and your need for Him is essential. God the Father sent God the Son (Jesus) to be the Saviour of the world (1 John 4:14). It is only through the Son that God's plan of salvation is accomplished (Acts 4:12, John 14:6) We were born into sin and therefore dead in sin, separated from God our Creator (1 Corinthians 15:22 , Ephesians 2:12) In our sinful nature, we suppress the truth of God in unrighteousness even though that which is known about God is evident within us. (Romans 1:18-23 , Romans 3:9-20). But God, in His grace took the initiative to reconcile mankind to Himself through the sinless life and death of His only begotten Son (John 3:16, Ephesians 2:4-10, Romans 3:21-24). God the Father sent His Son (Jesus) to free us from sin (Romans 6:6-7, Romans 6:17-18) and to give to those who believe in Him the right to be children of God (John 1:12). Jesus shed blood in sacrifice satisfied the demands of God's divine justice. God the Father confirmed in the resurrection of the Son that the sacrifice of the Son is complete and sufficient for the sins of the world (Matthew 28, John 20:19-22, 1 Corinthians 15:3-8, 1 John 2:2). Jesus paid the debt owed to God for our sins (Matthew 20:28, Colossians 2:13-14) and by God's grace, those who believe in Christ Jesus are justified as a gift and have peace with God and are reconciled back to Him(Romans 3:22-25, Romans 5:1, 2 Corinthians 5:18-19, Colossians 1:20-22). Crystal, you are no different then any of the rest of us. We were all sinners just like you and desperate for a Saviour. There is not one born again Christian that has anything to boast about or claim they have done on their own. Each and every one of us who has been saved has been saved by the grace of God through faith (Ephesians 2:8-10). In 1 Corinthians 15:3-4 Paul says (15:3)"For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, (15:4) and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures And Paul says in Romans 10:9-10 (10:9) that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved (10:10) for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation. Crystal, we are simply benefactors of His grace. Without Him, it would indeed be to late for you and me and for everyone else! Trust in Him and all that He has revealed to us in His word! God bless, Steve |

19 | Why is it knowledge of the "Son of God"? | Eph 4:13 | humbledbyhisgrace | 212033 | ||
Brother, it is essential that we know the Son of God (John 3:16-18). Jesus the Christ is the Son of God but there are many who do not believe this. JW's for example! Judaism for example believes in a Messiah but does not accept that Jesus is the Messiah nor that Jesus is the Son of God (I think that's right???? I'm not an expert on Judaism so my intent is not to apply doctrinal understanding of their teachings but that's how I understand it). John 17:3 (NASB) "This is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent. Matthew 16:16-17 (NASB) 16:16 Simon Peter answered, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God." 16:17 And Jesus said to him, "Blessed are you, Simon Barjona, because flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but My Father who is in heaven. John 20:30-31 (NASB) 20:30 Therefore many other signs Jesus also performed in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book; 20:31 but these have been written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing you may have life in His name. John 3:16-18 (NASB) 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. 3:17 "For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him. 3:18 "He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. I have to admit I've been a bit perplexed by your post/question. The way it is presented leaves me struggling with trying to understand what exactly it is you are asking so I may be way off base in my response. I don't know how to separate the Son of God and Jesus the Christ when scripture refers to either way of presenting it. Sorry if I've just confused the matter but if you could possibly phrase the question different that someone like me might be better able to understand??? Your brother in Christ the Son of God, Steve |

20 | I'm Confused! | 1 John 1:9 | humbledbyhisgrace | 211780 | ||
Greetings reedera4! Welcome to the Study Bible Forum! I understand your confusion! Let me see if I can help. Personally, I think it's a great error to teach we are not told to ask for forgiveness or that it's not taught in scripture. Sorry one of your pastors of all people would create such confusion for you. Does Scripture teach us to ask for forgiveness? Yes indeed it does! Matthew 6:12 (NASB) And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. See Matthew 6:14-15 also for context. Luke 11:4 (NASB) And forgive us our sins, For we ourselves also forgive everyone who is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation. 1 John 1:9 (NASB) If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. "Confess" in this passage means to "acknowledge" the sin. Or "profess" the sin. It is unreasonable to apply the meaning that asking God for forgiveness of the sin is wrong. There is nothing in the passage to teach that and it contradicts Matthew 6:12 and Luke 11:4 which clearly teach that we are to ask forgiveness. What must be understood in all these verses is that fellowship with God is in view here, not salvation. I fear we are more of a "clanging noise" in the ear of God with the nonsense we push on others. I'm sorry you have been left so confused on this considering it's importance and I hope this helps! Steve |
