Jesus(son)was sent by God the Father(John 7:28) Jesus was sent to us by God the Father (1 John 3:16; 7:28,29). After His work of redemption, He had to go (John 14:28) in order for the Holy Spirit (Ghost) to come (John 16:7). As Jesus (the Son) was sent and had to leave, He also promised that the Father would send another, the Holy Spirit and He will be forever with us (John 14:16). The Son glorified the Father here on earth (John 17:4) and spoke not fo Himself, but from the Father (John 12:49,50). The Holy Spirit glorifies the Son and speak not of Himself (John 16:13,14). The same way the Son (Jesus) represented the Father (Col. 1:19; 2:9), the Holy Spirit will cause us to represent and show the character of Christ (1 Cor. 2:16). I believe that the Gospels show us the perfect unity of God (Matt. 28:19). The Father works through the Son by the Holy Spirit. But yet there is only one God man is created in His image. We are a trinity within ourselves, we are spirit, soul and body (1 Thess. 5:23) |

6 | Is faith all it takes to enter heaven? | Bible general Archive 3 | Jayell | 161894 | ||
You can't do the will of the Father unless you first have faith in His Son(Jesus). Many will say"Lord,Lord," but few will call on the NAME of the Lord(JESUS). One can not truly call until called upon(John 6:65) Man can be fooled by words,but God knows they come from(Rom 10:10,Mark 7:6). It's faith ALONE. TRUTH IN LOVE. |

7 | Is this scripture? | Bible general Archive 3 | Jayell | 175767 | ||
That is certainly not a Christian mindset, Jesus faced death on the cross for the joy set before Him (Heb 12:2). That should be our desire for Him. Paul wrote, "For me to live is Christ and to die is gain" (Phil 1:21). It's not about making us stronger, but for us to be more and more like Christ (2 cor 12:9). Though man may kill this body he can never kill the soul (Matt 10:28), he only hastens me to see the Lord as He is. We are confident, I say and willing rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord (2 Cor 5:8). Jayell |

We certainly pray for the lost but Paul is saying not to have fellowship with them, after all what does light have to do with darkness or righteousness with unrighteousness?(2 Cor 6:14) A hypocrite is a person who says one thing but continues to do another but that's not Paul's focus. Some of them could have been saved but it is our responsibility to separate ourselves (the local church) from sin (5:9-11) And God will the ultimate Judge of man's salvation (5:13a). I truly believe that God has predestined men and women to be saved, so that means those who refuse are not chosen. If God doesn't prepare our hearts to respond we never will (Acts 13:48). Jayell |

It is good that you changed from "for everyone" to "available to everyone." That is the correct wording. The scripture you gave does say "IF" The truth is Christ did not die for everyone, if He did everyone would go to heaven. | ||||||

Once again you should not add anything into scripture, 1 Peter 3:18 does not say "once for all" it says "once for sin." I guess in order to make your case you needed the ALL. You must understand that if Jesus had died for the sins of everyone then that would guarantee everyone heaven, there would be no need for hell since the wages of sin had been paid (Romans 6:23). If Christ died for the sins of Joe (who is in hell) then that would make God a liar if Joe still had to die for his own sins. The K.J.V. and N.K.J.V. both translate 2 Peter 3:9 to say "Longsuffering toward us" and the US or You is referring to saved . "Not willing that any should parish" the "any" must refer to those whom the Lord has chosen and will call to complete the redeemed. i.e., the "us." Since the whole passage is about God's destroying the wicked, His patience is not so He can save all of them, but so that He can receive all His own. He can't be waiting for everyone to be saved, since the emphasis is that He will destroy the world and the ungodly. Those who do perish and go to hell, go because they are depraved and worthy only of hell and have rejected the only remedy. Jesus Christ, not because they were created for hell and predetermined to go there. The path to damnation is the path of a non-repentant heart, it is the path of one who rejects the person and provision of Jesus Christ and holds on to sin (cf. Is.55:1; Jer.13:17; Ezek.18:32; Matt.11:28; 13:37; Luke 13:3; John 3:16; 8:21,24; 1 Tim.2:3,4; Rev.22:17). "all should come to repentance." "All" (cf. "us," "any") must refer to all who are God's people who will come to Christ to make up the full number of the people of God. The reason for the delay in Christ's coming and the attendant judgments is not because He is slow to keep His promise, or because He wants to judge more of the wicked, or because He is important in the face of wickedness. He delays His coming because He is patient and desires the time for His people to repent. | ||||||

Thank you! I'm not here to battle, but to discuss doctrine. If anyone doesn't understand God's sovereignty I am here to help. If it's grievous to want to know the truth, then I am truly sorry. Truth in Love Jayell |

You have accused me of evil doing without a cause and I have ask God to forgive me for offending you. I ask that you forgive me as well but I pray that you will study more on this subject. I did not mean to come across to you in a harsh way. Our unity is very important to me and crucial to the fallen world. One of my closest friends and brother-in-Christ have and still disagree on this subject. And will always love him. Our fellowship is not worth losing at any cost. Forgive me Jayell |

How can you believe on Jesus and not His word? That's like a person who's paralized purchasing a car. They will NEVER be able experience the thrill of shifting gears,pressing on the gas and clutching the steering wheel around a tight curve. They can only look from a distance,that's it. When Christ saves us He also gives us a hunger for the truth.(John 16:13). 2 Tim 3:16 says "ALL SCRIPTURES" You can not take parts of the bible(gospel)and disreguard the rest of the N.T. GOD has a strict "warning" for you. READ Revelation 22:19 The Truth in love |

What is your definition of accurate and reliable? Let"s start with the gospel. Jesus commissioned the church to,"Go ye therefore and TEACH all nations"(MATT 28:19)if you don't believe the N.T. to be the W.O.G. then what are you teaching? The apostles were taught by Chist and went on to write letters inspired by the Holy Spirit(JOHN 14:26). Paul says he was taught by Christ,when anyone (by the Holy Spirit) prays and studies WHOLE bible there's no question. The apostles teachings(it's called DOCTRINE)ACTS 2:42 and they continued in it. If you think the epistles to be nothing more than reliable then you have no guidance(2 TIM 3:10) READY TO BE TOSSED TO AND FRO(EPH 4:14) The reason I KNOW the N.T. is God's word is; I KNOW HIS VOICE! (JOHN 10:27) | ||||||

Yes,Jesus was telling them to teach of Him. But He also told them to WAIT for the promise(ACTS 1:4,5). The reason that they were to tarry is found in JOHN 16:12-15) Jesus said (in your gospel) I have yet many things to say to you,but you can not bear them now. You see the Holy Spirit had to come inorder to reveal truth and that's what Peter preached to Isreal(ACTS 2:16-18) before preaching Christ. However gifted moral, or refined, the natural man is absolutely blind to spiritual truth (2 Cor. 3:14, Eph. 4:18). The Peter of the gospels rejected Jesus(MATT 26:69-75)THE SPIRIT FILLED PETER OF ACTS STOOD UP TO ISREAL,LIFTED UP HIS VOICE and PROCLAIMED JESUS AS LORD. That's why you must take the old with the new. Jesus is the gospel,but the Holy Spirit is the author of scripture. My faith lies in Jesus alone and He once told Satan;"Man shall not live by bread alone,but EVERY word of God" The gospel has given me salvation(ROM 1:16)and the epistles is what gives me direction(ROM 6:4,COL 1:10,1 THESS 2:12). I have truly prayed for you and I believe God at His Word(MATT 5:6) With Love | ||||||
20 | Saved by belief or belief and baptism? | NT general Archive 1 | Jayell | 164220 | ||
SAVED BY FAITH The thief on the cross is a perfect example of salvation through Christ alone. He didn't enter heaven under any different condition than what is required today. He was a helpless sinner, unable to save himself (Prov 14:12) so he looked toward Christ alone to save him. I hope we all agree that this the only way to come to God. The two thieves (Luke 23:39-45) represent the two gates in Matt 7:13,14 (HEAVEN and HELL). One thief blasphemed Jesus saying, "If You are the Christ ( he doubted Jesus as Lord,cf 1 John 4:3) save yourself and us" (trying to save his sinful life,cf Luke 9:34;1 Cor 15:50). The other thief rebuked him and said,"Our deed deserve death, but this man has done nothing wrong" (Luke 23:41;cf. Rom 6:23). Taken with Matt 27:44;Mark 15:32 where both thieves are mocking Jesus this clearly shows that one had a change of mind. That's called REPENTANCE. cf. Luke 15:7; Acts 3:19. The repentant thief then turns to Jesus and said, "LORD (confessing that Jesus is Lord,cf. Rom 10:9,10; 1 Cor 11;14)remember me when thou comest into thy Kingdom" (Luke 23:42). This statement shows his FAITH that Christ would be raised and he no desire for this world or his life. He chose repentance into the Kingdom (Matt 3:2) death to be raised with Christ (Gal 2:20) When we start to add to salvation things like baptism what we really are saying is, Jesus Christ is not sufficient. That was the very reason Jesus cried out on the cross, "IT IS FINISHED" (John 19:30). We can't add to perfection (Hebrews 10:14;12:2). Baptism is very important in our walk with God, it actually brings us closer to Him. (But it is a work). Salvation is by grace through faith, is a free gift, and wholly without works (Rom.2:27,28; 4:1-8; 6:23; Eph.2:8). The divine order is: first salvation, then works (Eph.2:9,10; Tit.3:5-8). |
