Thanks Doc. very helpful. | ||||||
3 | Why worship only the Father | John 4:23 | JohnDiscipleship | 192900 | ||
I think That when we worship the Father we can only truly do that if - We are drawn by the Spirit and if we Are in Christ (I am the way and the TRUTH and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.)So true worship involves every part of the Trinity. We can thank God for His Spirit and His Son and we can offer them praise for their specific roles. God bless John D |

4 | As Christians what is our role in war | Matt 5:44 | JohnDiscipleship | 192651 | ||
I want to make a sincere apology to anyone who is offended by my question about a Christians role in war. I find it hard to read the old testament with all the killing that takes place compared to the new testament teachings. Would I defend my family if they were attacked? I probably would. I believe that the armed forces should be more defensive than aggressive but that is a personal view. You can be a Christian anywhere and the law you have to follow is God's law as you understand it. My quest is to understand the way to live in this world in such a way that I obey what Jesus said in Matt 28v19-20. God bless John D |

5 | As Christians what is our role in war | Matt 5:44 | JohnDiscipleship | 192650 | ||
Doc I have not questioned the role of Christians in war to dishonor Christians who have found them selves in clear concience fighting for what they believe to be true. What I am trying to understand is how do we decide who should die. With love John D |

6 | As Christians what is our role in war | Matt 5:44 | JohnDiscipleship | 192649 | ||
Brad my point for asking this question is because I have trouble with a Christian view that thinks we should shoot our enemies rather than pray for them. I don't think that anyone should tell another Christian to kill someone else no matter what they have done, as this places us in judgement of others. I believe that this is a study of scripture as Jesus tells us in Matt 5v38-39 not to take an eye for an eye but to turn the other cheek. God bless John D |

7 | Is killing scriptual in theNEW TESTAMENT | Matt 5:44 | JohnDiscipleship | 192567 | ||
This passage seems to indicate God's incredible mercy and His authority over all things. I don't find it any reason why Christians should kill. | ||||||
8 | Sharing the gift of Grace with others | Col 1:6 | JohnDiscipleship | 192500 | ||
What a beautiful gift God's grace is!!! We should except it with heart felt gratitude and "become accurately and intimately acquainted with it." When I received God's love it was the best thing that had ever happened to me. To think that I could be set free from a world of punishment into a world of forgiveness, WOW!!! How could I not forgive others after what I had recieved? But there have been times when I have forgotten about what God has done through His Son and have got caught up in the things around me. Thank God that he draws me back and reminds me to keep my eyes firmly fixed on Jesus the author and perfector of my faith. I have learnt to be quick to repent and ask for forgiveness, to forgive others as I have been forgiven, to accept discipline as correction not punishment, to perservere in trials. God values every human being whether Christian or not and wants everyone to come to the full knowledge of His Grace. We are called to be an example of His wonderful healing love that is beyond all explanation. Let us never grow weary in showing how much God has done for us, let us not grow tempted to justify why some are not worth God's love. For "all have sinned and fallen short" Let us instead find ways to share God's love with everyone, lets use all our combined creative abilities to reach the lost, the lonely, the hurting, the bitter, the confused people of this world. Lets stand together with Christ and say "Father forgive them for they do not know what they are doing" lets help them to understand Amen |

God's faithfulness is what gives us HOPE and Faith to follow Him. No matter how many times we stumble He is always there for us. | ||||||
10 | Can a Christian reject God's grace | NT general Archive 1 | JohnDiscipleship | 192496 | ||
Jeff, I believe that When Jesus says "that we should remain in him" That it is a call to be faithful and if you are faithful you will bear fruit. It is not our responsibilty to bear fruit, it is a natural result of being faithful. | ||||||
11 | Can a Christian reject God's grace | NT general Archive 1 | JohnDiscipleship | 192463 | ||
My grammar can be confussing, What I am saying is that God has the power to save us and that we don't then earn our salvation we work with God in our salvation. John 15v1-17 jesus plainly tells us that it is about remaining in the vine and the purpose of that is to bear fruit. If we don't remain in the vine we will not beear fruit and we will wither and die. | ||||||

Yes I do believe that Adam had a choice to obey God, it was through that disobedience that sin entered the world. | ||||||
13 | Can a Christian reject God's grace | NT general Archive 1 | JohnDiscipleship | 192444 | ||
I am not saying that God is powerful enough to save us, but in the keeping part, he needs help. What I am saying is because of Gods love he has given us the same choice Adam had, to choose between good and evil. We should not be decieved as Adam was but live a life in obedience to God as a living sacrifice. | ||||||

15 | Can a Christian reject God's grace | NT general Archive 1 | JohnDiscipleship | 192434 | ||
We are not being forced to work at salvation to keep it, it is out of a repentant and grateful heart that we honour God by our deeds and our testimony of what he has done for us. There are so many warnings in the Bible about staying the course, staying pure, being Holy, etc. God has called us to follw His son, to sacrifice our lives for others and to be renewed by the transforming of our minds. We should not take his calling lightly Hebrews 12 v 14-17 warns us not to reject God's grace. james 2 v14-26 warns us that if we have faith without works it is dead v26 also inv24 he says that we our justified by faith and works. They work hand in glove, first Faith and then Works. if you say you have one without the other then you are decieved. | ||||||
16 | Can a Christian reject God's grace | NT general Archive 1 | JohnDiscipleship | 192420 | ||
I think what is in contention about judgement is not whether we are "saved" or "unsaved" but how do we know that this is true? 1John 3v13-21 talks about how we will know that we are "saved" we will have love for our brother. This would be lived out by actions not words and would be evident to those around us. 1John 3v18 | ||||||
17 | Can a Christian reject God's grace | NT general Archive 1 | JohnDiscipleship | 192418 | ||
God never rejects us but as rebelious children we can reject him. The prodigal Son chose to take His inheritence and squander it away. What do you think would have happened if he had never come home? Also unfaithful means that you were given something and then failed to do it, you can't be unfaithful to something that you don't have! | ||||||
18 | Can a Christian reject God's grace | NT general Archive 1 | JohnDiscipleship | 192412 | ||
Good scripture! John 3 v21 says that "Whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what he has done has been done through God." I think that in my own life I have found that if my deeds don't line up with my faith God has convicted me of that fact (not condemned me with that fact) I have than had the choice whether I wanted to repent and change my ways or whether I want to reject the truth and continue doing what I now know to be wrong. I thank God that when he shows me something he also gives me a chance to change through Christs love I also thank God that he does not take away my free will. I know that for me I have not always repented when I know that I am wrong, but He has been Patient, I have learnt not to test God but to repent quickly. One time after I became a Christian I turned away from God and walked in a wilderness experience for 15yrs! I never want to reject Him again because I know how dark that time was!!! Hebrews 3v 12-19 | ||||||
19 | is how we use our talents to be judged? | NT general Archive 1 | JohnDiscipleship | 192366 | ||

20 | is how we use our talents to be judged? | NT general Archive 1 | JohnDiscipleship | 192362 | ||
I think I will have to disagree that we are to be judged by our sin as Jesus takes on our sin and set us free from sin and death. The question that is asked by those that are called righteous and those that are called unrighteous is the same, "when did we see you hungry, thirsty etc. and the only difference between the two was that one had given and one hadn't not whether they were "Saved' or not. They both call Him LORD | ||||||
