U-Oh, Hank, Are you a robot? It appears that you may have just blown a transistor in your feedback control circuitry, causing your verbose response mechanizms to fall into a continuous loop. I knew that all those thousands of posts would finally catch up to you on day. ;-) God Bless, Pastor Glenn |

3 | Searching for the truth | Bible general Archive 2 | Pastor Glenn | 139209 | ||
Nikkicole, Please see my question at ID# 92778. Arn't "Jahovah's" Witnesses anti-Christ or else they would be called "Jesus Christ" Witnesses? The focus of the Watchtower and Tract Society on the name "Jehovah" is totally misplaced emphasis. The scriptures already have the emphasis on the name of the Son! Acts 4:12 Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved." Truthfinder, I have pointed out that the great conspiracy of Satan is really the "spirit of anti-Christ", not "anti-Jehovah". But, you have not responded to this point. Do you agree that scripture emphasizes a conspiracy against the Son (Anti-Christ)? 1 John 4 2By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, 3and every spirit that does not confess that[1] Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world. How does the NWT render the above scripture? Do you agree that the doctrine of the trinity "does not" teach that God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit are "one person"? However, they are "one God", but also three eternally distinct persons. Is this your understanding of what we believe? I am not asking if you agree with us, only if you know and understand what we believe. The bible is clear that there is no other name given among men by which we must be saved. John 3 18"He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. Do you believe that you can be saved by the name Jehovah or by the name of Jesus Christ? Pastor Glenn |

4 | The Devil cannot be punished, can he? | Bible general Archive 2 | Pastor Glenn | 139248 | ||
Hello He-man, I am a bit confused by why your comments here conflict with the scripture that you used to create your profile. You said here: "Everyone has the freewill choice to accept or reject Jesus; not by coercion. ..." co·er·cion : the use of express or implied threats of violence or reprisal (as discharge from employment) or other intimidating behavior that puts a person in immediate fear of the consequences in order to compel that person to act against his or her will; Is it a "threat" to warn people that their enemies are coming down the street to destroy them? (Eze 33) Or, is it a "threat" to ask a drowning person to grab hold of the Life Line to be saved? Or, is it a threat to tell someone to leave the house because it is on fire? If they refuse to listen to the warning they are already condemned by their situation. Jesus spoke about this condemnation in John chapter 3: Joh 3:17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. Joh 3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. Joh 3:19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. Joh 3:20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. Then you said: "... The result of rejecting the dictates of your own heart(accepting Christ) is simply eternal separation from immortality." This is where the confusion comes. Because in your profile you quote: "These are things which I hold as truths and duties:... ... Matt 13:41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; 42And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth" So I repeat the scripture: Jeremiah 23 16Thus says the LORD of hosts: "Do not listen to the words of the prophets who prophesy to you. They make you worthless; They speak a vision of their own heart, Not from the mouth of the LORD. 17They continually say to those who despise Me, "The LORD has said, "You shall have peace"'; And to everyone who walks according to the dictates of his own heart, they say, "No evil shall come upon you."' While most of us agree that the Good News of the Gospel of Jesus Christ is the best, but it is incomplete without also proclaiming the consequences (hell fire). Pastor Glenn |

6 | able destroy both soul and body in hell? | Bible general Archive 2 | Pastor Glenn | 139340 | ||
Hello Forgvn, You got me wrong. I was not concluding that there is no immortal soul. What I said was: "If there is no immortal soul, then Jesus' statement here seems meaningless, doesn't it?" I was refering to the verse: Matthew 10:28 And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. (NKJV) You concluded "...we should be afraid of only Him." I agree. However, some do not believe in "ETERNAL" torment of the soul in "hell fire" or the "lake of fire". They believe that the soul of the wicked will simply "cease to exist". My question is how can they believe that in light of this particular scripture. The point is, if the soul ceases to exist by destruction in the "Lake of Fire", then why should anyone fear God more than man. Man can destroy the body, so if the soul then ceases to exist after death, what is the difference in whether a person fears God or not? Do you see what I am getting at? So, again I say to those that do not believe in eternal torment, please explain this scripture. |

7 | Theoretical Question | Bible general Archive 2 | Pastor Glenn | 139751 | ||
Eric, You said: "I am at work and do not have a Bible handy nor the time at this point to pull up all the texts. But believe me...Its in their." It is good to see that you believe in the grace of God. It is also good that you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. However, you have a basic misunderstanding of the Old Testament God and scriptures. You really need to stop mis-quoting scripture and wait until you have time to quote correctly. This is a "study bible forum", not a "study mis-quote forum". Pastor Glenn |

8 | Theoretical Question | Bible general Archive 2 | Pastor Glenn | 139769 | ||
Hello Eric, Please calm down. The real scripture says "...will not pardon ...": Ex 23 20Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared. 21Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions: for my name is in him. (KJV) But you mis-quoted here by saying "...does not pardon...": "Now...We know that The God of Abrham Isaac and Jacob told Moses to "Beware of the Angel I set before you, for he will become YOUR GOD and he does not pardon TRANSGRESSIONS". Is 55 reads: 7Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. Notice "...abundantly pardon". You concluded: "Who is this Angel that was to oversee Isreal through the forest..To become their God...and who would not Pardon their transgressions? The scary thing is it was Satan. He was the one who wanted all the lambs slaughtered and bulls. He was the one who said "Stone a women if she commits adultery". " The new Testement is solidly built upon the truths and prophecies of the Old Testement: John 5:39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. Luke 24:27 And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself. Luke 24:44 And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me. Does this sound like Jesus felt the Old Testament is evil? Pastor Glenn |

Hello Eric, You believe in "Universalism" You said: "Christ will save ALL MANKIND." But Christ warned: Mat 24 48But if that evil servant says in his heart, "My master is delaying his coming,' [g] 49and begins to beat his fellow servants, and to eat and drink with the drunkards, 50the master of that servant will come on a day when he is not looking for him and at an hour that he is not aware of, 51and will cut him in two and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Please explain how this scripture warning goes along with universalism. Pastor Glenn |

11 | Do retards go to Hell? | Bible general Archive 2 | Pastor Glenn | 139797 | ||
Eric, You said: "Obviously a all Loving God would not create you, knowing you will not come unto the knowledge of the truth and just have to be cast into this scary Lake of Fire....this is a devil God...Not a Jesus Christ God.... ... All Mankind will be saved (all in their own order), except the Son of Pardition." I want to focus on where you said: "...God would not create you, knowing you will not come unto the knowledge of the truth and just have to be cast into this scary Lake of Fire...." Isn't this true for the devil also, that God would not create him knowing he will not come unto the knowledge of the truth and just have to be cast into this scary Lake of Fire? Why do you ignor the scriptures that deal with sin and hell fire? 1 Corinthians 6:9 Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, [ That is, catamites] nor sodomites, 10 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. Matthew 5:19 Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. Jer 23 10For the land is full of adulterers; For because of a curse the land mourns. The pleasant places of the wilderness are dried up. Their course of life is evil, And their might is not right. 11"For both prophet and priest are profane; Yes, in My house I have found their wickedness," says the LORD. 12"Therefore their way shall be to them Like slippery ways; In the darkness they shall be driven on And fall in them; For I will bring disaster on them, The year of their punishment," says the LORD. 13"And I have seen folly in the prophets of Samaria: They prophesied by Baal And caused My people Israel to err. 14Also I have seen a horrible thing in the prophets of Jerusalem: They commit adultery and walk in lies; They also strengthen the hands of evildoers, So that no one turns back from his wickedness. All of them are like Sodom to Me, And her inhabitants like Gomorrah. 15"Therefore thus says the LORD of hosts concerning the prophets: "Behold, I will feed them with wormwood, And make them drink the water of gall; For from the prophets of Jerusalem Profaneness has gone out into all the land."' 16Thus says the LORD of hosts: "Do not listen to the words of the prophets who prophesy to you. They make you worthless; They speak a vision of their own heart, Not from the mouth of the LORD. 17They continually say to those who despise Me, "The LORD has said, "You shall have peace"'; And to everyone who walks according to the dictates of his own heart, they say, "No evil shall come upon you."'

Hello Tim, Your right: "No where does this passage say that the angel will become their god!" I was looking for that, but failed to mention it. How Eric could see this angel as Satan from this passage of scipture is the real mistery. I wonder if the misconception that the God of the Old Testament is a different God than the God of the New Testament is what Eric's faith is built upon. If so, he is in for a very rude awakening. Your Brother in Christ, Pastor Glenn |

13 | explain the trinity | Bible general Archive 2 | Pastor Glenn | 140206 | ||
jcsav, I just reviewed a post to you from EdB, post ID 112839. I see you are "Oneness" Pentacostal. You do believe that Jesus is God, but that God is only one person that manifests as three (Modalism). Well , I was wandering how you explain Jesus' reasoning when He said: John 8 16 And yet if I do judge, My judgment is true; for I am not alone, but I am with the Father who sent Me. 17 It is also written in your law that the testimony of two men is true. 18 I am One who bears witness of Myself, and the Father who sent Me bears witness of Me." Notice that He said "... the testimony of two men is true. ..." Doesn't this show Jesus as using faulty reasoning if He in fact was the same person as the Father? And how about blasphemy against the Holy Spirit? Mat 12 31 "Therefore I say to you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven men. 32 Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, either in this age or in the age to come. If the blasphemy is against the same person, then why is there forgiveness for blasphemy against the "Son of Man" (Jesus Christ), but not forgiveness for blasphemy against the Holy Spirit? If you really are interested in "what God says about Himself", then study what He said about Himself in these scriptures above. |

Mathew 22 42 Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, The son of David. 43 He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying, 44 The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool? (Psalms 110, Acts 2:34-35) Notice "...The LORD said unto my Lord...". This is another scripture (used several times in the bible) that shows one person talking to another person (Trinity). |

Hello EdB, "The resistance to accept the bible account is so strong that we are not allowing everyone that holds that view serious consideration. Science knows there are errors and contradictions in their theories but rather than trying to find out what is the problem they continue to treat the theory as valid." Amen. Basic questions like on the atomic scale: "What gives the electrons energy to keep orbit" are left completely unanswered. And on the galactic scale: "What is "Dark Matter" (perform Google search) that makes up 96 percent of the universe?" They don't know the basics, but they rigidly cling to supposed knowledge of details. Proverbs 1:7 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, But fools despise wisdom and instruction.

"... What if the man in Genesis 1 was different from the man in Genesis two. If so, we can't say how old the earth was. This is just an example of how we might be relying too heavily on one interpretation. " Gen 1 26Then God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all[b] the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth." 27So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. 28Then God blessed them, and God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth." Wouldn't that make Jesus the "third" Adam? And who was that man and woman that recieved all of that dominion? And why would Jesus quote Gen chapter 1? Pastor Glenn |

Very interesting scriptures Cyclist, It is a shame that some people will totally ignore scriptures or try to change the interpretation so that it would not have been worth saying. This is why when we interpret the bible, we need to humble ourselves, pray, and ask God to remove our own pride. Then we can judge ourselves and our motives before He can give us a more spiritual understanding. Jesus said, "It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life. " John 6:63 God bless, Pastor Glenn |

John Reformed, You quoted, “1. INABILITY DOES NOT RULE OUT RESPONSIBILITY ……"No man can come unto me except the Father who sent me draw him," says the Lord Christ (John 6:44).” But Jesus also said, John 12: 32And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all peoples to Myself." It is not God’s plan or will that any should perish. 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. You also quoted, “2. CERTAINTY DOES NOT RULE OUT NECESSITY …THE PLAN OF GOD IS UNCHANGEABLE, because God is faithful and true (Job 23:13-14). IT IS UNCONDITIONAL, that is, its execution does not depend on any action of man but even renders such action certain (Acts 2:23; Ephesians 2:8). Moreover, it is all-inclusive, embracing the good and the wicked actions of men (Ephesians 2:10; Acts 2:23), …. It ensures the certain salvation of a vast number of favoured sinners.” Look at the main scripture: Acts 2:22"Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a Man attested by God to you by miracles, wonders, and signs which God did through Him in your midst, as you yourselves also know-- 23Him, being delivered by the determined purpose and foreknowledge of God, you have TAKEN[3] BY LAWLESS HANDS, have crucified, and put to death; The “taken[3] by lawless hands” was indeed certain, WHO’S hands that Satan would use was UNCERTAIN, in that no one person had been singled out in prophecy to carry it out. Of course God foreknew WHO because He knows the future, as well as, the heart of everyone from afar. Look at the other main scripture: Eph 2:8For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9not of works, lest anyone should boast. 10For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them. God’s foreknowledge means that some are indeed predestinated, in that God already KNOWS their destination. God knows our hearts before we are born with freewill. Deuteronomy 8:2 And you shall remember that the LORD your God led you all the way these forty years in the wilderness, to humble you and test you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep His commandments or not. Deuteronomy 26:16 "This day the LORD your God commands you to observe these statutes and judgments; therefore you shall be careful to observe them with all your heart and with all your soul. It was God’s plan for them to obey “…with all your heart and with all your soul.”, but they always sinned again. Jer 17:9"The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can know it? 10I, the LORD, search the heart, I test the mind, Even to give every man according to his ways, According to the fruit of his doings. Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. God’s angels are witnesses from the beginning until the end, but they are not going to ask “Is God responsible for evil?”. God has already recorded what they will say: Rev 16:5And I heard the angel of the waters saying: "You are righteous, O Lord,[2] The One who is and who was and who is to be,[3] Because You have judged these things. 6For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, And You have given them blood to drink. For[4] it is their just due." 7And I heard another from[5] the altar saying, "Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are Your judgments." However, There will be men who will blame God for their condition in blasphemy: Rev 16:9And men were scorched with great heat, and they blasphemed the name of God who has power over these plagues; and they did not repent and give Him glory. Rev 16:11They blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and did not repent of their deeds. Rev 16:21And great hail from heaven fell upon men, each hailstone about the weight of a talent. Men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail, since that plague was exceedingly great. The main point is that God Gives repeated opportunity for all men to be saved. He also warns us to watch our heart, to obey Him, and to walk in the spirit as opposed to the flesh. He never told us to teach predestination, even though I believe in it to the extent of God’s foreknowledge. However, He did tell us to preach “REPENTANCE FOR THE REMISSION OF SINS”: Luke 24:47 and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. God bless, Pastor Glenn |
