1 | What's the proper response to injustice? | 1 Pet 2:19 | PasserBy | 153221 | ||
Hello: Where have you been? By that statement, I mean several things. First: Why have you not come into this discussion before? You can ask me the same thing, because I ask myself the same thing. I wonder if we have the same reason. Second: Have you not been to the churches? Even if Aixen had not talked about it, have you not seen injustice there? Third: Have you actually read the thread? It seems that Aixen is saying there is injustice for two reasons. 1. People with needs are not getting their needs met. Have you not seen that? 2. People with spiritual gifts are denied an opportunity to exercise those gifts. Have you not seen that? In so far as it is true that some gifts and some needs are systematically ignored, it is unjust. What do you think? Aixen speaks about fear, but I think he is actually very brave. It takes a brave person to point this out, since many see it and do not have the courage to speak up. He has brought it up. It remains to be seen whether he himself will be ignored or attacked for doing so. I am not here to defend the brother. But I wonder why others have not seen what he has seen. Perhaps it is because he travels a lot and visits many churches. But now he has talked about it, I wonder why it is hard for you to even understand what he has said. What would you do about the case of that young man that he spoke about? That person introduced a program into a church and ran it for a short time. Then it was summarily taken away from him and given to others. Would you say that was injustice? Or would you do like someone else has done, to imagine reasons why they had just reasons to do that? Or should he say to the young man that he should “keep hoeing”? I am sure that Aixen could elaborate and illustrate with many stories, but I do not think we need to prove the point that there is injustice. If you have not seen it yourself, then you may not understand. The Bible talks about it and we need ideas from the Bible to deal with it. |

2 | people who have never heard the Gospel ? | Heb 7:25 | PasserBy | 150259 | ||
Dr. Aixen: There is a doctrine called "Universal salvation". Also known as “Universalism”. I do not know which church teaches it, but some people believe it. I looked it up and found the following at GotQuestions.org Question: "Is universalism / universal salvation Biblical?" Answer: Universalism is the belief that everyone will be saved. 1 Corinthians 1:22,23 reads, “For Jews demand signs and Greeks seek wisdom, but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles.” There are many people today who hold to the viewpoint of “Universal Salvation” - the idea that all men eventually end up in heaven with the Lord. Perhaps it is the thought of men and women living a life of eternal torment in hell that causes some to reject the teaching of scripture on this issue. For some it is their over-emphasis on the love and compassion of Christ that lead them to believe that God will have mercy on every living soul. But the scriptures do teach that some men will spend an eternity in hell, while others an eternity in paradise with the Lord. That is the first part of the article. It says more. So the doctrine exists, but I have never seen it on this forum. |

3 | is it wrong to wear fine clothing | 1 Tim 2:9 | PasserBy | 132045 | ||
I will, dear lady, if that is what you wish. I was completely unaware that I was judging anyone. But what do I know? I'm just a passing through. We can leave it up to Higher Powers to decide who is judging whom. Isaiah 5:20. | ||||||
4 | is it wrong to wear fine clothing | 1 Tim 2:9 | PasserBy | 132033 | ||
Unbelieveabe. As I passed by I noticed this same man attacking Dr. Aixen ("Aixen7z4") whenever he comes on, no matter what the topic is, because he knows he is a Christian psychologist who accepts payment for his services. Here he urges sympathy and prayers for a Christian lady who exposes her body to the public because it is hard for her to give up 800 dollars per night. But wisdom is justified of all her children. |

5 | Did any prophet come from Galilee? | Luke 24:19 | PasserBy | 125549 | ||
A comment as requested: The sentiment seems to be that names and pronouns that refer to the Lord Jesus Christ should be capitalized to indicate a recognition of deity. Some translations of the Bible do that. Sometimes it is not clear whether it is the speaker, as in the case of Nicodemus, or whether it is the translator who recognizes the deity of Christ. But it seems appropriate that the The Lord should be honored in every way, in word and with action. I am told that Roman Catholics make a sign every time they pass a church or other holy place. Perhaps everyone who recognizes Jesus as Lord should make some sign indicating a bowing of the knee whenever the name is mentioned (Philippians 2:10). They might also say at that time that Jesus Christ is Lord. What do you think? |

7 | Proverbs 8 Wisdom Equals Jesus | Prov 8:22 | PasserBy | 125500 | ||
Hi Angel: It might help if you used your word processor to create your posts. Compose your thoughts there, proofread, then copy and paste. You will have a nice clean item, like this one. If by any chance you lost it on the Forum, you can always return to your word processor for it. Likewise, we can let the word of God process our thoughts. It also explains itself. For example, we read about a rock in Exodus 17:6. Who would have thought that that rock was actually a Rock? Who would have thought that “that Rock was Christ”? (1 Corinthians 10:4). Only the other passage could tell us what the other passage meant. About the topic in question, as others have said, the “person” in question in the proverbs passage is simply wisdom personified. It is true that “Christ is made unto us wisdom” (1 Corinthians 1:30). And “Christ (is) the power of God, and the wisdom of God” (1 Corinthians 1:24). And he was in the beginning with God. But we need a direct scriptural statement to indicate that it was Jesus talking in Proverbs. The direct evidence is that it was Solomon talking, and personification was the literary device he was using, as it were to let Ms. Wisdom talk for herself. As always, the context keeps us in line. Doth not wisdom cry (Proverbs 8:1)? |
