1 | God created man sin-ful? | Bible general | jeremiah1five | 241522 | ||
Hi Doc. I am also of the belief that Christ was the image of God when He created Adam/man. We are being conformed into the image of Christ, not Adam (Rom. 8:29). It is God that makes us holy and nothing we do. Our justification is in our salvation that because of Christ God declares us "Not Guilty!" of transgressing His Law(s). And now as a believer who has been atoned and justified, the "All Scripture" Paul spoke of in 2 Timothy 3:16-17 includes The Law, the Psalms, and the Prophets. Imaging that. When unatoned it was the Law that condemned us, but now as atoned beings in Christ it is the Law that God now uses to "instruct us in righteousness, for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, etc. | ||||||

Whoa! You mean that I saw/seen the same thing in Scripture as Calvin and Martin Luther? I have never read Calvin nor studied any of his works nor Martin Luther's, and here I am coming to the same conclusion as these two men. How about this: Paul says the Law is spiritual. Scripture also says man is flesh. As a fleshly man the Law kills, but to a born again spirit-man the Law cannot touch us. Spirit-ual cannot harm spirit-ual. I have read only the Scriptures and I have visited many various sites, but I have never read nor studied men of God in the past who have published books, and at places I have been called a Calvinist for my views and I hate that designation. I don't like being called a Calvinist. I prefer to be a Biblical Christian. That's the ONLY KIND there is in existence. If one's Christianity is not Biblical, then it is NOT Christianity. Bottom line. Thank you, Doc. |

Hi EdB. No confusion here. I believe what I believe because the Scripture says it and my mind is wrapped around it. My edification is not complete. I have not reached my measure of faith because I am here still to talk about it. I was surprised only because I never read Calvin and here I am on the same page as he was. Or that J. Edwards and I see the same Jesus, or Charles Hodge, etc. It's even a blessing as a surprise when I post my faith and understanding and another believer also sees the same Jesus. But I do know that Calvin saw the same as Augustine who also saw the same as Paul (2 Tim. 2:2). It's a blessing, that all. | ||||||
5 | Why do we have ""Free-Will"? | Bible general | jeremiah1five | 241573 | ||
Hello Terry. I do not believe God created angels or man with free will. To me free will is an illusion. Not even God has free will except ONE will, that is, Good. If my conclusions that there is only One God, there is none like Him, and God gives His glory (holiness, righteousness, etc.), to no one, and that by virtue of creation angel and man was created sin-ful ("missing the mark"), that neither angel nor man was created with any Deific attributes or "properties" and that the rerason why man (Adam) sinned was because he was created sin-ful ("missing the mark") Sin comes from sinner. Man sinned because he was a sinner. He is not a sinner because he sinned. Man does not have free will because even the will in man is in bondage to sin (sinfulness), and that that bondage prevents man from being free in any part of his creation or being. The reason why I believe free will in man is an illusion because although we can choose between chocolate and vanilla, or to wear the blue shirt or gray one, the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil was not a tree that made Adam good or evil, but only served to give him the KNOWLEDGE of good and evil. Some say that Adam was "neutral" or "innocent," but I discount that knowing that such "neutrality" or "innocence" was voided when he did good and obeyed God to name the animals. If man sinned because he was created a sinner, then there is no free will. Sin comes from sinner. Sin does not come from holy. The last Adam proved this. Jesus Christ was born sinless and did not sin because of that sinless-ness and His holiness. All our choices to do this or that comes from a will in bondage, and that only God has such a "free will" to do or not do a thing, but that God does not have a "will" to do evil, thus, God has a will to do or not do a thing, but does not have an experimental will to do evil as man certainly does. Ephesians 2:10 (KJV) 10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. Worship, prayers, deeds from un-converted man is sin ("missing the mark") before God, and if these things are done void of the Holy Spirit, then they are sin-ful. The will is not free (saved and unsaved) because we are still in this body of this death and death is the penalty for sin (not necessarily doing acts of evil/sin. Are you following me on this? |

6 | HCSB what's your opinion? | Bible general | jeremiah1five | 241576 | ||
Hi Doc. Don't get me wrong, the use of other translations are helpful as I get to see and read how other linguists translate the Hebrew and Greek in their translations into English. I don't have a NASB nor a Holman's nor an Amplified (which I like) but I do have the ASV, BBE, GW, YLT, NIV, LB, NKJV, that I sometimes refer to. I also use a Strong's for assistance in the Hebrew and Greek and sometimes go online for assistance from other linguists for comparison or run into others that don't use a Strong's but maybe a BDB or some other scholar(s) for the same purpose. It's just that when I was first born again (even before that) I had always used a KJV. Later, as I learned more on the Bible I learned that no translation is the perfect copy of the original manuscripts. Even the KJV. But God has used this translation to teach me His Word through the years. |

7 | Why do we have ""Free-Will"? | Bible general | jeremiah1five | 241579 | ||
PART ONE: Hello Beja, Romans 5:12 (KJV) 12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: I used to believe that it was the act of sin by which one is made a sinner, but that understanding did not line up with Scripture. Then that means that if man (hereinto meaning Adam unless suggested otherwise), became a sinner because he sinned, then one would have to have the following as conclusion: 1. man was created holy and/or righteous and sin comes from holy [or that which is holy.] 2. God reduplicated or shared or gave His glory to another (Isa. 44:6; 45:22.) 3. The Law(s) of God are His Commands, and the Commands of God are Law as God means what He says and says what He means, and if it is the Law which shows us to be sinners (Paul said, "I had not known lust except the law said thou shalt not covet" the same can be applied to God's command to man "thou shalt not eat of it..." revealing the existence of a "thou shalt not" in the garden which shows man to be a sinner before he actually performed the act of sin. In other words [applied to man], "I had not known disobedience except the law [God] said 'thou shalt not eat of it.'" 4. If God is the standard by which everything and everyone is judged, and the only two Persons that can stand before a holy God are the Son and the Spirit, then man was eternal BEFORE he sinned and the Scripture saying, "Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever..." would mean man was not eternal and since eternal-ness is an attribute of God and man was not eternal, then in this alone he fell short of the glory of God and Scripture calls this "sin" ["missing the mark."] If man needed the Tree of Life to "live forever" then man was "[fallen] short of the glory of God," or as the word is defined, "sin," or "sin-ful" ["missing the mark," that "mark" being the glory of God.] 5. If man was holy or righteous or eternal (all attributes/nature of God), then man was created with Deific attributes/nature of God [God reduplicated/shared His glory], and if one is to possess one attribute/nature of God then they MUST by necessity possess ALL attributes/nature of God else the man would still fall short of the glory of God for one cannot be half-human and half-Deity. There is no such thing as being "half-pregnant." 6. In Romans 5:12 there is no mention of an act of sin by which man became a sinner, but it does state that by one man [existing, created] sin entered into the world and death by sin..." man would have eventually died even if he did not perform any acts of sin in his life, but that was impossible for the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil did not change man and make him a sinner, the tree only served to give man the KNOWLEDGE of his sinful-ness. |

PART TWO Romans 5:12 (KJV) 12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: 7. If it is the act(s) of sin by which man was made a sinner, then one cannot have the Doctrine of Imputation which declares that imputation is a nature-swap: 2 Corinthians 5:21 (KJV) 21 For he hath made him [to be] sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. if it is our act(s) of sin that made us sinners, then the Scripture might say, "For He [God] made Him [Christ] to be the acts of sin that we might be made the righteous acts of God" which would leave our sin-ful nature still within us and truly offensive to God. The Doctrine of Imputation states that we are imputed the righteousness of God (Peter says "divine nature" 2 Pet. 1:4) and this occurred when Christ was imputed our sin-ful nature (2 Co. 5:21) on the cross and the decree of God that the penalty for sin is death, this is what killed Him. It wasn't the acts of sin that killed Christ, but the sin-ful nature the Holy Child of God was imputed (laid on Him) that killed Him, and if one is to be accurate and honest with Scripture it wasn't sins-many that Christ died for, but sins-ONE that He died for: the sin-ful nature of man in Adam when he was created. John says: "The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world" John 1:29 (KJV) in which the word "sin" is singular (meaning ONE sin that Christ died for - and this would mean the sin-ful nature that man was created with because as Scripture says, "there is only One God, there is none like Him, He gives His glory to no one." If God's Elect people were contemplated in the Mind of God as Holy and Righteous [they were], then He contemplated us as Holy and Righteous in Him because there is no death in God, there is no sin in God, then while we were an "idea" in His Mind, it was by virtue of being created with a body formed from dirt/clay, from created matter (by-product) and any "thing" outside of God is sin or sin-ful for the only Person(s) that can stand before a Holy God is God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. Christ died twice on the cross for the sin-ful nature of man which was the "default" existence of man because there is only One God, there is none like Him, and He gives His glory to no one. Christ died twice on the cross to atone for the two deaths in man [Adam]. Bear in mind that God is just. God does not lay the penalty of death for sin upon the innocent. If death was decreed by God in the garden for sin, then since the animals did not sin and yet they die. They, too, were created sin-ful, or as the word is defined, "missing the mark" [of the glory of God.] Here is one more thing to consider: we are STILL under the penalty for sin. Cemeteries all over the world testify to this truth. I hop I have answered your statements and questions. |

9 | Woman's place in Heaven | Bible general | jeremiah1five | 241597 | ||
Hello wdc. Come now, let us reason together, saith the LORD (Isa. 1:18). If I may... Gen. 1:1 the word is "shamayim" which is plural and means "to be lofty" "sky." Gen. 1:6-8 has this "heaven" as under and above - two expanses. This one was created by God but He divided them into under and above - two. The ministry of Lucifer is on earth: Isaiah 14:13 (KJV) 13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God - I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: Ezek. 28:14 - If Lucifer is the "outstretched" cherub that "covers" what did he cover? It appears he covered or "outstretched" above the throne or Presence of God on the mountain of God (Jerusalem?), and this would mean he was "hovering" a few inches to several yards above the throne/Presence of God in the first heaven or expanse. The text says he wanted to ascend into second heaven above the clouds (where the planets reside - for some reason). This is the second heaven. Since man had not been atoned in TIME the curtain in the Tabernacle prevented an unatoned person to be in the Holy Presence of God so no one in the OT ascended in death to God but were in another place: the grave - Sheol/Hades or Paradise/Abraham's bosom [generally to the Hebrew mind meant the Presence of God, but not actually IN the Presence of God] Where did Moses and Elijah come from at the Transfiguration? Were they kept in Eden where a cherub with a flaming sword kept it from being entered let alone found? And Paul, did he go to an "expanse" [heaven - third or otherwise,] that was on the planet? Maybe Eden? If He went into the Presence of God Himself then this heaven is not a place, but a Person. As I hold with God creating man sin-ful being that God cannot reduplicate His attributes of nature into created matter, the same follows with a "place" or "location." If third heaven is a place or location, and it is eternal, then God reduplicated His eternal-ness into a location, and again, if one is to possess one attribute of God they must by necessity possess ALL attributes of Deity. To date, I prefer to believe first and second heaven as part of creation. "Third heaven" is not a place, but a Person - God. |

11 | HCSB what's your opinion? | Bible general | jeremiah1five | 241639 | ||
Am I a born again Christian baptized into the Body of Christ by the Holy Spirit? (1 Cor. 12:13) Are you? Have I ever said I was a KJV-Only person? I use the KJV because I believe it is the Authorized - by God - Version for the English-speaking people. One cannot get higher than a king. All these committees that group together in order to bring more confusion to the Church don't have any authority to make a translation for the English-speaking people. God is a God of order. |

Question: Do the terms actually say "period of time?" Does truth have an expiration date? You quote some of the great minds in Christendom but would you disrespect them as you just now did to me? In the beginning I thought this site was different than the others, but you would ban Christ in me when you don't like someone like me, maybe crucify Him all over again. You muzzle the Holy Spirit and restrict Him in me as well as try to control my gift. It's NOT YOUR GIFT, it's MINE! Now, I ask you to remove your restriction and refrain from sinning against me voluntarily as you have because it is wrong to do to Christ in me as you are doing to me. Unjust, sin-ful, and heretical. But you have the button don't you, and it makes you feel powerful that you do such things to Christians that have a different insight into God and the things of God, especially His Word. You say you are respectful to people? I am HONEST with people. Believers are not to be given "respect," but love and "spect." The unbelievers do not get love that is commanded of God to brethren ONLY, they get re-spect," that is, to look again. Or will you also turn that adjective into a noun and pronoun? Incredible. Friends are thicker than God, huh? What a shame. "What you do to these the least of my brethren," Jesus said, "you have done it to me." You seriously can't defend the offender and attack the offended. What I told "justme" is true. Unless I should insinuate the person is a homosexual the way that person insinuated I was talking about Lockman (which I wasn't). Judge righteous judgment. |

Conflict of interest. The exercise of a gift in Christ is a command. Even I know to not interfere when one of my brethren is exercising their gift under command of Christ. Restricting is the same as muzzling the Holy Spirit and denying the Life of Christ in His people. But I don't think you understand nor obey this as you restrict another in the body of obeying theirs. You have already declared yourself that when Israel gathered before the Holiness of the Lord at the Tabernacle that they would also have to follow the modes of behavior of the heathens that surrounded Israel when you also add to the Bible and the Word of God that when Christians gather they must also behave according to worldly standards. God's Law is for God's people and He has covered all bases and possibilities in His people. Christians do not gather and then are compelled to behave as the ungodly world does, but that is your position. I don't agree with it and neither does the Word of God. We have the Law, the Psalms, and the Prophets that dictate our behavior before God and among brethren, but you will add to that Counsel by compelling Christian brethren they must also obey the world. I have already been at that crossroad. I choose to obey God, not Caesar. By the way...there are no rights in the kingdom of God. There's only obedience and disobedience. But persons like you have Americanized the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ. I had seriously thought well of my participation early on about this site, but your behavior towards me and Christ in me with your secular human rules has quenched the Spirit in me. You can tell I know the Word even if how I see God and the things of God do not "square" with you. Your friend justme was wrong to imply that I had ill "feelings" about Lockman and to not obey Matthew 18:15 if this person was in some way offended when I was not speaking to that person offends ME because that is NOT how Christians are to handle such things. The Word of God tells me what to believe, I don't tell the Word of God what to say. And for you to defend the offender and attack the offended as though I sinned or did something wrong is offense against me and Christ in me. I don't step on your call (if you know what that is) nor do I step on your gift and you should not step on mine. But you have the button and try to restrict the Holy Spirit in me with your worldly thinking about privilege and "rights" is an affront to others in the Body of Christ whether they are aware or now. And I don't mind being called "Jer" except I prefer the lower-case "j." There is only one Jeremiah. I am only in power and spirit. So, now what? You going to continue to restrict my voice? You are practicing spiritual dictatorship, Doc. And it is ungodly. | ||||||

So, in other words...doctrine and Christ's teaching means nothing and what you know to do right is to do nothing at all. Why study the Bible if in the end for matters directly in the hands of individuals of faith that we can just wash our hands to things we are commanded to do or not do and then take a hands-off approach and dump things in His lap which is really a cop-out and disobedience and NO ACCOUNTABILITY. I don't believe I read that from a Christian. Just my Biblical-sense worth. | ||||||

I just cannot believe the busi-bodiness of some that call themselves Christian and interfere lacking wisdom to say nothing. Now, do you see all this that justme has caused? Now I am being "corrected" or "counseled" or ostracized all because justme thinks that this Christian lives by my feelings instead of by every word from the mouth of God. Now Steve wants to stick his nose into this and have a say when it is between myself and justme and justme is unwilling to be obedient and apologize and NEVER do that again to me. Obviously, the dynamic of Christian fellowship is not practiced here. Now I am being accused of exercising my spiritual gift "unseemly?" Do you know the KJV translators use the word "devil" to translate the Greek word for false accuser? How many devils are at Lockman anyway if each time someone opens their keyboard I am falsely accused of something? JUSTME! ARE YOU WITNESSING THIS BULL-DUNG YOU STARTED?? What are you going to do now that you've caused still another to accuse me of something before you address my comment? (Matt. 18:15.) You made the Moderator take sides against me, steve take sides against me, and CDBJ bring their busi-bodiness into your false accusation and interpretation of my "feelings" and the tongue is a world of iniquity that you have set the course of this fire. What are you going to do? Lord, have mercy! Here we have some sharp minds concerning the Word of God but NO ONE IS BEING OBEDIENT AND APPLYING THE WORD! Is this for real?? |
