1 | Need guidance, want to talk with someone | Bible general Archive 1 | Greg Martin | 74932 | ||
Boy do I agree with that. There are arguments here that can be confusing. You have to recognize that every one here knows the only way to heaven is through Christ. All would agree you can not work your way into heaven, but must be saved by the blood of Christ. The arguments are on deep, deep details and non-salvation doctrines. These are those that have no bearing on your salvation, but are only the struggle to understand God in a deeper way. If you are a new Christian, you need milk, not meat. I recommend not reading this forum until you are weaned from the milk. This is no insult, even a car has to start in first gear. Read the Bible. Find a Church that believes in the whole Bible and it's inerrancy and infallibility. Go to Church. Go to it's Bible classes. Pray. |

2 | "ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED"!!! | Matt 22:37 | Greg Martin | 64714 | ||
Hey if you want to walk around telling God that what He does for your salvation is no good until you improve upon it, that's your perogative... Rom 1:16 If the power of God is not sufficient for you, If Christ and Christ alone is not good enough for you, tell it to God. If The Perfect One has cleansed you, why would you feel the need to smear the grotesque filth of your works upon it? Baptism is a consequence of salvation - Not a cause. "This sermon included baptism as a requirement of obedience unto salvation" Why would there be obedience unless one was first saved? |

3 | "ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED"!!! | Matt 22:37 | Greg Martin | 64695 | ||
Oh, that's right. They took the thief down from the cross, submersed him in water, and then hung him up to dry... *That's* how he made it.... | ||||||
4 | "ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED"!!! | Matt 22:37 | Greg Martin | 64559 | ||
But now you are agreed that baptism has nothing to do with being saved, but is a consequence of it? | ||||||
5 | "ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED"!!! | Matt 22:37 | Greg Martin | 64472 | ||
Oh, yeah. Now I remember why I stopped spending time on this forum. Thanks for reminding me. | ||||||
6 | "ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED"!!! | Matt 22:37 | Greg Martin | 64470 | ||
Rom 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. John 10:27My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. 28And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand. 29My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father's hand. 30I and My Father are one." Salvation is sealed by the power of God and *no one* can change it - NO ONE would include yourself. Or do you have a power greater than God's? |

7 | "ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED"!!! | Matt 22:37 | Greg Martin | 64469 | ||
Luke 23 39Then one of the criminals who were hanged blasphemed Him, saying, "If You are the Christ, save Yourself and us." 40But the other, answering, rebuked him, saying, "Do you not even fear God, seeing you are under the same condemnation? 41And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward of our deeds; but this Man has done nothing wrong." 42Then he said to Jesus, "Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom." 43And Jesus said to him, "Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise." |

I certainly hope you read the entirety of my message. The abstract (subject) is misleading and heretical. | ||||||

10 | Pearls of Wisdom by Sctt | Matt 12:36 | Greg Martin | 45235 | ||
Well, those are certainly, uhmm, interesting. One post in a roundabout way kinda makes sense. Sctt: 'Therefore it was not the eating of the tree of knowledge of good and evil that was mans sin but the breaking of the commandment THOU SHALT NOT. ' The sin was, in effect, the same as Satan's. That is trying to overthrow God. By disobeying they are essentially telling God that He shall not rule their life. So they are placing themselves in His position. This is Satan's crime; he tried to get others to commit it too, and he succeeded. One final note, the original text of Gen 2:17 is kind of confusing, but it goes ets da'ath towb ra 'akal (Perfect) yowm 'akal (Infinitive) muwth (Infinitive) muwth (Perfect) Which is something like tree knowledge good evil [shall have eaten] time [to eat] dying [shall die]. or "dying you shall surely die." |

11 | is jesus god? | John 1:1 | Greg Martin | 44898 | ||
Sidebar: Ye olde Pilgrim, Ye! Just reading the name Congregationalist brings me home. I love that Church. I have been led to serve in a very small non-denominational Bible Church in a highly liberal, non-church going city. I don't question God's plan for my life or His leading. I just miss my home church. |

12 | is jesus god? | John 1:1 | Greg Martin | 44897 | ||
There is Thomas' confession John 20:28 And Thomas answered and said to Him, "My Lord and my God!" Did Jesus rebuke Him? No. Rather, He replied 29 Jesus said to him, "Thomas, because you have seen Me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed." Thomas: "My Lord and My God" Jesus: "You believe" |

13 | Did Jesus pre-exist before his birth? | Gen 1:26 | Greg Martin | 44895 | ||
Also John 8:58 Jesus said to them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM." And John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. |

Excellent Point! It has to be a cross because that's the shape God told Israel to paint on their doorposts. | ||||||

"1) Every non-Christian that I know considers it wrong for a Christian to drink. What does drinking do to our testimony?" Hmmm... 1) Every non-Christian that I know considers it wrong for a Christian to condemn homosexuality. What does condemning homosexuality do to our testimony? or 1) Every non-Christian that I know considers it wrong for a Christian to claim the only way to Heaven. What does claiming the only way to Heaven do to our testimony? This is no point at all. We are not to be judged by the world, but only by God and fellow believers. |

No offense taken, and I was not referring to you when I said some get mad and crinkle their nose. It's just a general observation I've noticed here. Some apparently think we can't discuss lighter points or engage in curiosity. That is not to accuse you, as I said, just a general observation. | ||||||

As opposed to the shape of the cross? You've got a good point if you're not one who likes to dig into details and trivial points much. Clearly it is not important what the shape of the cross was, but as a point of interest. I know some get mad and crinkle their nose at discussions that don't tackle earth shattering revelations in doctrine. But some like it, as do I. Important? No. Interesting? Yes. |

Question: How could they possibly nail both hands and also his feet to a stake? In order to do this the hands would have to be behind the stake, palm side up or above the head. In either case the intent of asphyxiation would not be possible. Try it. You'll prove it to yourself. | ||||||

All instances of the word cross in Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John are the word "stauros". This is generally translated "cross" but can mean "stake". In all four gospels, and in every translation, this word is translated as cross in all instances. This will not satisfy a Thomas, because there is no indication by context or useage whether stauros should be translated as cross or stake. However, unlike the quotes from the website cited, that "It never means two pieces of timber placed across one another at any angle, but always of one piece alone." The actual text says it can, and generally does. stauros (stow-ros') from the base of 2476; TDNT - 7:572,1071; n m AV - cross 28; 28 1) an upright stake, esp. a pointed one 2) a cross 2a) a well known instrument of most cruel and ignominious punishment, borrowed by the Greeks and Romans from the Phoenicians; to it were affixed among the Romans, down to the time of Constantine the Great, the guiltiest criminals, particularly the basest slaves, robbers, the authors and abetters of insurrections, and occasionally in the provinces, at the arbitrary pleasure of the governors, upright and peaceable men also, and even Roman citizens themselves 2b) the crucifixion which Christ underwent |
