1 | What is an Apostle? | Bible general Archive 2 | Ken hepting | 101760 | ||
"Apostles" abound today but they are called by their new name, "Missionary". One who establishes; A sent one. | ||||||
2 | Is the Heart and Soul the same? | Bible general Archive 2 | Ken hepting | 101755 | ||
[In most cases the Heart is referenced as a seat of our emotions. The soul is referenced as center of our conscience or the essence of our being.] I believe you may have that in reverse, EdB. The soul houses the mind, will, and emotions, correct? The Lord gives us a new "heart" of flesh, taking away the stony one, by the disposition of Himself within us at "new birth" which then brings a fresh desire to purify our soul making us into that new man that can be one with Him.[Jn.17] This endeavor to overcome is spurred on by our vision of the kingdom. Without that vision we perish in our effort to be. |

3 | Born again. Giving or receiving? | John 3:3 | Ken hepting | 101754 | ||
[Before I received Christ, I had a dire need of a new heart........] But how did you know you needed a new heart? What events lead up to this discovery? |

4 | Titus 3:5 regeneration help please | John 3:3 | Ken hepting | 101753 | ||
[As to the nature of the change, it consists in the implanting of a new principle or disposition in the soul; the impartation of spiritual life to those who are by nature "dead in trespasses and sins."] The word "impartation" implies a gradual process. It would be supposed that we have something to with that process of regeneration, don't you think? Not unto justification but unto sanctification, innocence to purity. |

5 | What is "born again?" | Luke 14:26 | Ken hepting | 101714 | ||
I posted this elsware for Searcher: Consider this: [and I don't necessarily think I'm correct, but I don't think I'm all wrong if, at all] "Many are called, but few are chosen" Who are the called but the "saved", i.e., those who believe Christ as savior, for eternal life, because of the cross and the blood that was shed for everyone. They are now called up to something. That something is to become a "son unto the Father" ergo, a "son brought into glory". [Jn 17] Freewill, being an unchanging factor, in the thing must still be considered when God, in His wisdom God chooses those who He reveals Himself to to become a son since they have chosen Him; They want to KNOW Him. But, "Let him who builds, count the cost...." Jn. 3.3,5. These are they that want to know Christ as more than just savior. The Beatittudes are now the thing that come into focus especially the one "Those who hunger and thirst...". Do you want to know God? Enter the great commandment. Learn how to. |

In case I get cut off can you give me an E-M address? | ||||||
8 | Can anyone agree with this? | Luke 14:26 | Ken hepting | 101698 | ||
Why not? Don't just say no. Give you thinking and it's foundation. | ||||||
9 | What comes after I'm saved? | Luke 14:26 | Ken hepting | 101697 | ||
First off, the Great Commandment must be a reality in ones life who claim Christ as LORD. Secondly, the practical working/walking out of the thing will be in relationships we establish and circumstances placed in our lives either by God or otherwise it must be cultivated within to recognize God in all matters of our life....Proverbs 16:9 (NASB) The mind of man plans his way, But the Lord directs his steps. This is especially true of the child of God seeking to become a son....... John 1:12 (YLT) but as many as did receive him to them he gave authority to become sons of God—to those believing in his name, How I'd do so far? |

10 | What is "born again?" | Luke 14:26 | Ken hepting | 101696 | ||
I got as letter stating I was removed from the forum. Apparently some here are having their way in silencing me, I thought. |

11 | Christ and Christians? | Luke 14:26 | Ken hepting | 101606 | ||
Matthew 5:48 - "Therefore you are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect." Think being born again is hard, try this one. Ouch. Sorry, no can do. Yet it is Jesus' imperative command, isn't it? seeking4truth You place that before the right man because that IS what the journey in Christ is all about. That's the path of righteousness AFTER you are born again. If it wasn't attainable Jesus would never have stated it. If you say, "Father I want to know you" be prepared for the journey that will take you home to Father's house. . It's sometimes called "Bringing son's into Glory" per: Hebrews 2:10 (NASB) For it was fitting for Him, for whom are all things, and through whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to perfect the author of their salvation through sufferings. We will be perfected as He [Jesus the MAN] was or we won't be the "Church without spot or wrinkle" who He comes for.. "that He might present to Himself the church in all her glory, having no spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that she should be holy and blameless". ...Ephes. 5:27 (NASB) No denominational thing here except to get rid of it. Lets be about ...Becoming. |

12 | Ken, are you sure? | Luke 14:26 | Ken hepting | 101572 | ||
No, I'm still seeking. And I always will be. But *I* determine what I'm seeking, you don't. I simply don't wish to argue with you. That's all. seeking4truth Ah, I see. In other words you've determined I'm arguing instead of bringing correction/adjustment into the deal. .....I sense you have a need to be right. If that's the case I stand by supposing you not to be seeking but to have your mind already made up and snapped shut. Am I wrong in that? I don't think so...I've read too many of your posts. |

14 | Ken, are you sure? | Luke 14:26 | Ken hepting | 101554 | ||
Have fun?? Hmmmm?.I'm puzzled.. Makes me wonder if you are really searching for anything. |

15 | Ken, are you sure? | Luke 14:26 | Ken hepting | 101550 | ||
[Jesus was, as I understand it, righteous, not innocent.] Indeed, He was innocent! What did Pilate say except "I find no fault in this man". If you think He was guilty in something, please speak it. Furthermore He had to innocent in order to be pure...Pure to be Holy. |

16 | Ken, are you sure? | Luke 14:26 | Ken hepting | 101549 | ||
["It's always been a "blood" demand with God." I've posted verses that seem to speak to the contrary] But you haven't. Lets begin with that fact. |
||||||
17 | WHY IS THE BLOOD THE PRICE? | Rom 5:6 | Ken hepting | 101531 | ||
But why did forgiveness of sins require blood to be shed? I think that was the question asked. | ||||||
18 | Kingdom of God...now? | Ephesians | Ken hepting | 101424 | ||
[The kingdom of God in an eternal Kingdom. It existed( exists, will exist) without reference to time. God's salvation through Grace gives us entrance into that kingdom now and in time eternal.] I agree with you but as with all God's Grace, I believe it to be a choosing that we must do because of His Grace which calls us to it. Consider the case of the rich young ruler. I believe it to be a good example of what I'm speaking of. Good folk get saved but never enter the kingdom. The result being an obvious condition of the church[s] suffers from,i.e., no witness of the Spirit within it. Jesus said "abide"...Most don't, most won't. Those that do I believe to be the "elect" Paul speaks of. |

19 | Receive? | 1 John 2:2 | Ken hepting | 101357 | ||
I'm with you on your position, this one anyway...:0)) You a Nazarene and me a Pentecostal, I'm sure we could come up with a difference of opinion here and there. But no, your responses have been excellent, more than I would have thought of. The verse I offered I remember from my experiences in the Holy Spirit and the ability we have in quenching Him thus "Thwarting" His purpose for the moment or messing up some specific opportunity by not responding to His urgings. I know that to be real not only in my own life but the lives of others who have been there. If the Spirit is subject to the prophet [1Cor.14.37] that means the prophet has the mind of God and but has option NOT to speak it. Of course there are reasons why one wouldn't. See Balaam and the donkey. I don't wish to resurrect the thread but suffice to say it's a "freewill" thing through and through. Can't be any other way and call it God's love. Regards, Ken |

20 | Kingdom of God...now? | Ephesians | Ken hepting | 101322 | ||
I'm not quite sure of your light bulb thing but you are right on the money as to the perfecting of the saints. Since His power is a trust we don't get His trust unless we earn it and that by abandonment to Him that He be all in all to us. Praise God that He has shown you some tough stuff. Ken |
