1 | once saved always saved? | John 10:28 | Immanuelsown | 208690 | ||
Progolfer190 Looking at the question, "can we lose our salvation?" There are other things given to us, at the same time that explain why you cannot lose it. 1) Eternal life, "can we lose eternal life?" John 10:28 28) And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. 2) We were given the Holy Spirit, which signifies the promise of God, until our Redemption, So we cannot lose our salvation, on the grounds, Jesus Paid the full price for us, which was DEATH! We have become a Purchased Possession. "Who can take us from his hand?" Eph.1:13,14 13) In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, 14) Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory. 3) If all of that is not enough, this one should be. Rom. 8:38,39 38) For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39) Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Salvation; soteria (Noun) Denotes "deliverance, preservation, salvation." "Salvation" is used in the NT (a) of material and temporal deliverance from danger and apprehension, (1) national, Lu. 1:69,71; Ac. 7:25, RV marg., "salvation" (text, "deliverance"); (2) personal, as from the sea, Ac. 27:34; RV, "safety" (AV, "health"); prison, Php. 1:19; the flood, Heb. 11:7; (b) of the spiritual and eternal deliverance granted immediately by God to those who accept His conditions of repentance and faith in the Lord Jesus, in whom alone it is to be obtained, Ac. 4:12, and upon confession of Him as Lord, Ro. 10:10; for this purpose the gospel is the saving instrument, Ro. 1:16; Eph. 1:13 Vines Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words.

4 | Men having long hair a disgrace? | 1 Cor 11:7 | Immanuelsown | 208617 | ||
srbaegon, Just wondering why your answer is ----"In both cases, the answer is most likely," "No." Is there anyplace where it says, they had short hair? Or do we assume this, because it was the custom of the time? Or do we get this belief from 1 Cor.11 where it talks about being covered, shaved, shorn, or in verse 14 "if a man have long hair it is a shame unto him" ? The question then arises, why then was it not a shame for Samson, and Samuel to never, in there lives be allowed to cut their hair? Although Samson's was cut once. Seems like long hair to a man is either a shame or it isn't, vow or no vow. We may say, "it was different in Old Testament times." But isn't it believed that John the Baptist, may have also been under a Nazarite vow, also having long hair. I'm not defending long hair for men, just cant see where it is ok one time, and not another. It would appear as though Jesus would have had the Vow of a Nazarite on his life, more than any man ever born, In Him Imm |

7 | Debating on the word with atheist | Bible general Archive 4 | Immanuelsown | 208323 | ||
sapian59, Humbled,and Moran have given you sound advice, mine is practical advice. Romans 14:1 Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations. If we are told , do not have doubtful disputations, with someone that is weak in the faith,how much the more should we not have the same kinds of conversations with atheists. They do not have the faith at all, and do not intend to. They just want to argue! But if you persist in this endeavor, keep in mind, they say "I have found contradictions," make them prove there point of view, with scripture to back it up. Scripture, is what is being brought into question, then only by Scripture, can those questions be answered. And without any Scripture, their point is lost. Do not leave one point, until the first is resolved. If they cannot resolve, that is the end of the discussion. Remember, someone that calls themselves, Atheist, and claims to have found contradictions, is the spirit of Anti Christ! Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. My Prayer for you is Ephesians 6:10,11 10) Finally, my (brother), be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 11) Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

8 | Adam and Eve Perfect or Flawed | 1 Tim 2:11 | Immanuelsown | 208261 | ||
Hank, It just warms the cockles of my heart, to see how many of the forum agree with my post. "Hank", sorry old friend, I thought I had stated it plainly in my first two sentences. "OK, No Assumptions." "These are the questions I have asked (MYSELF), in an attempt to get an understanding of who Eve was, and what was her motivation," The post in question was in response to a post from Humbled on 09-01-08 at 9:58 p.m. thats why I said no assumptions, also why I sent the questions. I will do better in the future, didn't mean to cause any confusion. In showing Humbled, the questions I asked myself, I should have written don't answer these. DUH! My mistake. Guess there were to many dots, leaving room for assumption, and speculation to run rampant. Looking on the bright side though, nice to know there was such a consensus of agreement on the rest. In closing, you are absolutely right, this will be my last post on the thread. In Him Imm |

9 | Adam and Eve Perfect or Flawed | 1 Tim 2:11 | Immanuelsown | 208244 | ||
Humbled, OK, No Assumptions. These are the questions I have asked myself, in an attempt to get an understanding of who Eve was, and what was her motivation, we can't blame it all on Satan, he did lie to her, everything else was Eve's own doing. 1) How long were Adam, and Eve in the garden, after God gave the command, not to eat the fruit, until Eve was tempted? 2) Why did they not eat of the fruit before that time? 3) What was it, at that particular moment, that made Eve even consider eating of the tree, when she had not before? 4) Just how much different were Adam, and Eve than we are? 5) If they were created perfect, would it have been necessary, for God's command to them? The reason I used the verse, Matt.5:28 was because, according to the words in Gen.3:6 there are attributed to Eve, the same types of thoughts a person after the fall could have. So is this a natural condition, of the heart of Man? If it has always been the condition of the heart of Man, and not the (Fallen Nature) could it then be said, Eve looked on the Tree to lust after the fruit? In lusting after the fruit, then Jas.1:14 then explains Eve's actions. If so, Eve had committed sin already in her heart, before (Touching, or Eating). Mat 5:28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart." Gen.3:6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be (desired) to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. Jas.1:14,15 14) But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed." 15) Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. H2530----DESIRED chamad khaw-mad A primitive root; to delight in: - beauty, greatly beloved, covet, delectable thing, ( great) delight, desire, goodly, lust, (be) pleasant (thing), precious (thing). (Strong's Concordance) My belief in this matter is, the heart of man has not changed, otherwise Eve could not have been tempted. God would not have had to put the Death Penalty on the eating of the fruit. The eating of the fruit, gave us the knowledge of good, and evil. But as we see, it wasn't eating the fruit, that brought sin into the world, it was because of LUST. In looking at this question, I have had to look at my own belief, that Adam, and Eve were created perfect. The following verse explains, being created in the Image, and Likeness of God, we were given dominion over the Earth. Having dominion, also entails having a Free Will, Eve Exercised that Free Will. Gen.1:26 26) And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

humbled, Those are all really good scriptures, but without any explanation, as to what you are saying , they are just quotes of really good scriptures. They all speak truth, I can agree with every scripture you quoted, because they are the word of God, but as to the context in which you are using them, I am oblivious as to your application of each one. I'm not trying to be flippant, I'm saying that when I post a scripture, I try to put with it how I am interpreting it, applying it. I just don't know your thinking, or what you were trying to say with each one. At this point I don't know, if you agree with my post or not. Sorry:-( In Him Imm |

11 | Adam and Eve Perfect or Flawed | 1 Tim 2:11 | Immanuelsown | 208208 | ||
humbled, In the giving of the command to Adam, not to eat of the fruit, God set the stage, for sin to come into the world Is the Knowledge of Good, and Evil, the same as Sinning? It appears as though the command, gives you the right to choose. The right to choose, can bring Sin. But Sin, or Sinning, isn't the same as the knowledge of good, and evil So there arises a question, "did Adam, and Eve die, because of Sin, or from obtaining the knowledge?" Sin, and Death came into the world, then passed on to us, for the breaking of the Command. (LAW) Rom. 7:14 14) For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin. Everything having to do with the knowledge of good and evil is future, (Choice) The knowledge of Good, and Evil, opens up to mankind, all sorts of sins Jesus told us, Matt. 6:34 34) Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. Jer. 27:9 9) Therefore hearken not ye to your prophets, nor to your diviners, nor to your dreamers, nor to your enchanters, nor to your sorcerers, which speak unto you, saying, Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon: Rom. 7:8,9 8) But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead. 9) For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died. Sin comes from the breaking of the Law, Jas. 1:13,14 13) Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: 14) But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. 15) Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.

Humbledbyhisgrace, How about the possibility, of Satan just bringing to Eve's attention that the Tree was there. She knew what God had said about it. Can we assume then both her, and Adam just said OK, when he said don't eat of the fruit, and then promptly forgot about it, believing what God said was true? Gen 3:6 And when the woman (saw) that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. It sounds to me as though she was in transgression before eating, she picked it, at that point she didn't die, she had just told the serpent, God said don't touch it! Jas 4:17 Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin. This scripture might be stretching the point, but she was now looking at the tree with desire, and curiosity can it be applied in different situations? Mat 5:28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. I believe Satan went to Eve, as the weaker vessel, knowing he stood a better chance, than with Adam. Jas 1:14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. Could it be that simple? In Him Imm |

stjohn, You say, he is the source of all lying. when he said to her, "You will not surely die." and then strays further from truth by saying, "For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil." Did the serpent surely LIE to Eve? Gen 3:5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. For God said afterward. Gen 3:22 And the LORD God said, 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: "You will not surely die." Yup that there surely is a lie of Satan. In Him Imm |

FlintyJoe, quote; "You're not bursting my bubble, but I doubt most believe they won't receive everlasting life until after the 1,000 year reign and Satan and the demons have been released to tempt perfected humans again." Eternal life is instantaneous upon conversion. We don't have to wait to die, we are dead in Christ, through baptism. "They think - you die, your judged, you live on a cloud. After all, have you ever went to a funeral where the minister said "Joe is now burning in hell, you can stop praying for him." No. No matter how bad the person, now that he's dead, he's in heaven with Jesus." You will never hear anyone, say anything bad, about the dead, except maybe Hitler. In Him Imm |

To the Forum, (To clarify) There were a couple of comments about a post about, Benny Henn. The comments made, were probably close to what people were saying about Jesus. ( Although there was no narrative recorded.) What was posted, was to dramatize the fact, that if a person did not believe, that Benny Henn had a healing ministry, they would not go to him for a healing, I believe the people of Nazareth were of the same mind. They felt they knew him, therefore they would not partake of his ministry to them. In Him imm |

Steve, Don't worry about any delays, we all have busy lives. This is late also. In spirit, He has given us all things, before the world ever was. Isn't the act of going towards, moving after, an act of Subservience? A display of the lesser, towards the Greater? Luk 11:9 And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. Mat 11:28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. We are always told to come, ask. Why, you might ask? 1Sa 8:5 And said unto him, Behold, thou art old, and thy sons walk not in thy ways: now make us a king to judge us like all the nations. 1Sa 8:7 And the LORD said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them. God created Man for fellowship with Himself, but God always went to the garden to commune with Adam, does the fact that God went to the garden, make Adam sovereign over God? God chose the Nation of Israel, as a people unto Himself. God was always the initiator on their behalf in their relationship, does that make the Nation of Israel, sovereign over God? Not until the Nation asked for a King. The act of rejecting God, was the setting up of themselves as Sovereign. They then effectively stopped the Blessing, of God to work on their behalf, as it had in the past. From that point on in history, God has dealt with mankind in a different manner. Only those seeking Him as King, would find him That is what Jesus' coming to earth was all about, the reconciliation of Man, to God. We do the same thing to God in our own lives, there are things we either do, or not, that stop God form moving in our lives. Yes, we do in those instances become sovereign over God, stating to Him, we will rule our own lives, Not Him. (the old saying goes) Actions speak louder than words. He allows this to happen, that is called the longsuffering of God. Rom 2:4 Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance? I don't want to seem belligerent towards you, so I beg your pardon beforehand. I have noticed in all of your posts, you have, neglected to give any scripture to validate your belief. Others have said through the course of this thread, the majority of experts, are in agreement with you, and that holding a sole belief is therefore wrong but there are still no scriptures, validating there belief. Aren't we bound by the forum guidelines, to use scripture to back up our arguments, in order to come to the truth of all scripture? I have posted verse, after verse in putting my view forward,.asked for the Greek if that could help, it seemed to bolster my argument (twice), what about other the scholars? I fully understand your viewpoint, but without scripture to back up that viewpoint, doesn't that then fall into the category of opinion, opinion is what I have been accused of. I have enjoyed the discourse thus far. In Him Imm |

srbaegon, OK, lets work out the wording. If I have a gun that is loaded, my faith that it can kill, will not make it fire, it takes my finger pulling the trigger. The evidenced faith here is my finger pulling the trigger, I then get my desired result. What it comes down to is, God has something for us in his sovereignty, we have to come to Him and ask, before he will give it to us. Heb 4:5 And in this place again, (If they shall enter) into my rest. God has prepared a rest for His people. (ME,) entering into that rest provided for me, does not place me as sovereign over GOD. It is his Gift, all his. How could my accepting a gift prepared for me, from the foundations of the world, place me in a position of sovereignty over him, who has prepared it for me? All Healing, Deliverance, Salvation, and whatever else you can think of, that God has prepared for those that love Him, ALL are sovereign gifts. Only He, as the God of the Universe, the Only Wise God, can provide those gifts. The only stipulation to receiving any of these gifts is, you must go to the giver of the gift, you cannot get it any other way. The flow of the virtue is always present with GOD, our action releases it. For without faith we can do nothing. In Him Imm |

Thanks for your post, I appreciate the help. What you said about Benny Henn, sounds exactly the same as would have been heard in Nazareth. My contention is, the people WOULD NOT go to him. I'm sure there were people in Israel that had believed, but were never healed because they did not go to him. We have as an example of this happening. Joh 5:7 The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me. This man was not healed for a long time, then Jesus went to where he was , and he was healed. Mat 9:21 For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment I shall be whole. (12 yrs.) She sought him, in faith touching him. In Him IMM |
