Hi Tim. Nice to here from you. Here's a few. Zec. 4:3-6 and 11-14 with emphasis on verse 6. This is the word of the Lord ... by my Spirit, saith the Lord. St Jn 5:39 Search the scriptures ... they are they which testify of me. St. Mt. 24:14 And the gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations. Heb. 10:15 Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us. Rom. 8:16 the Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit. 1 Jn. 5:6-7 And it is the Spirit that bearest witness , because the Spirit is truth. For there are three that bear record in heaven, The Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost. In Christ, Lanny |

4 | Is it okay for women to wear pants? | Bible general Archive 1 | Lanny | 21109 | ||
Hi, One scripture comes to mind in Dt.4:5. The dress was quite different in those days but I believe that it is Gods desire for us to be able to distingish men from women today. I can remember when I was a small child. It seemed that all women wore long dresses, christians and sinners. There were good moral standards then. Even when I went to public junior and high school, girls were not allowed to wear pants even though they had become so short that the rule was mocked. I wonder what Jesus would say about the dress of today? My personal opion and I believe that it is Gods also, is that we all should cover our bodies, from the neck down (men and women) without showing all the features that our society today adores, lest by any means we should cause another to fall. In Christ, Lanny |

6 | no gospel equal go to hell? | Bible general Archive 1 | Lanny | 23426 | ||
I agree with searcher but would like to add Tit 2:11. I believe that if necessary God will make himself a committee of one in order to bring someone to salvation. However most will not accept his offer because of the resposibilities of salvation mentioned in the next verse. Also many who hear the gospel will not be exempt from hell, not because they were not hearers but because they were not doers. In Christ, Lanny |

7 | Can one loose their salvation ? | Bible general Archive 1 | Lanny | 26988 | ||
Paul surely seems to think so in 1 Corr 9:27 when he says "lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a CASTAWAY." If nobody could loose their salvation why would he be preaching the way that he was, being ever so detailed, about every subject? I keep my body under. Why would he go through all of that? I'm sure that he could have enjoyed the world just like everyone else. In Christ, Lanny |

8 | Can one loose their salvation ? | Bible general Archive 1 | Lanny | 27485 | ||
Here's a few more scriptures to ponder. Heb 6:4-6. Here he is talking about those whom have already experienced salvation and were partakers of the Holy Ghost. Speaking that, "If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance, seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God, afresh, and put him to shame." When he says, "if they", I believe this means that it is surely possible. Also 2 Pet 2: 20-22. Here again the righteous are being spoken of and verse 21 reads: " For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them." Here he speaks of returning to their own vomit. I have known of people to be truly blessed of God and filled with the Holy Spirit and have left this world exactly as this scripture mentions. What about Judas Iscariot? Did he not loose his salvation sitting directly under the Gospel of Jesus? Have we a better teacher? God help us if we truly think that our salvation cannot be lost. I believe that the only way that one could believe this is explained in 2 Pet 3:16. And 17, the following verse, speaks of being lead away and falling "again". In Christ, Lanny |

9 | Can one loose their salvation ? | Bible general Archive 1 | Lanny | 27694 | ||
Discipled, Grace should be the very thing that keeps us from sinning. Sure we could push past the very keeping power that God provides but then we would have to ask ourselves, whose eyes do we really desire to see through? And if our desires are not right, it will be easy to outsin something that we truly don't have. God will not continue to provide something that we have no intentions of using. We must ask ourself. What sin is it that we absolutely must do, that the grace of God is not capable of keeping us from doing, if our real desire is to not commit the sin? His grace, Gods grace, not any old grace is sufficient for thee. In Christ, Lanny |

10 | Teaching about hell in the Old testament | Deut 32:22 | Lanny | 18209 | ||
The old testament teaches the same thing about sin as the new testament with the same outcome. The biggest deceiver and false doctrine in this world today is the you must sin doctrine. St. John 5:14 and 8:11 clearly states sin no more. Jesus would not command someone to do something that they were not capable of doing. This would be unjust. Also Jesus came to save his people from their sins, not in them, Matthew 1:21. Most want to give the devil more credit than God. They feel that the devil is able to put you in sin and that God is unable to deliver you out of sin. TOTALLY FALSE. We must live holy lives which without no man shall see the Lord. Hebrews 12:14. Look up the word holiness in the dictionary. 1 John 3 is an excellent chapter. How can anyone look past this and think that they can sin and go to heaven. And as it says here " let NO man deceive you". It's not unjust for them to go to hell for sinning and it is not unjust for us. If God were to let us get away with sin then it would be unjust. As for Moses laws please refer to St John 5:46-47 and Matthew 5:17. Nowhere in the Bible, new or old testament, do I see that we can live in sin and go to heaven. I hope that this helps.

11 | Sinless perfection possible? | Deut 32:22 | Lanny | 18402 | ||
Joe, Yes you understand correctly. A Sinless life is obtainable and according to the bible is not optional. I have obtained this sinless life through the blood of Jesus Christ first by confessing and forsaking all sin. Second by being justified by faith and finally by giving my life totally, mind, body, and spirit to God and being sanctified by the baptism of the Holy Spirit. As God has promised he has done through the Holy Spirit by sancitfying and cleansing my heart by utterly destroying all pride, anger, self-will, hatred, malice, and all that is contrary to holiness. 1 Thess. 5:23, Rom. 8:23, Ezek. 36:25-27. The work of pardon on the conscience is called justification and the work of holiness in the heart is called santification. These two comprise the whole salvation of the soul in this world. He who is completely sanctified, or cleansed from all sin, and dies in this state, is fit for glory. Rev. 3:5. Repentance must go before justification; justification must go before santification and santification must go before glorification. He that does not repent and forsake all sin can not be justified. I am ashamed of what I was before I repented of my sins but I am thankful and blessed for what God has made of me. I was blessed by God when I first got saved and secondly by leading me to a church that teaches the THE Gospel instead of A Gospel. I thank God for the truth that he has shown me and his church which I was accepted as a member the moment that he saved me. I gave up the lust and desires of this world and trust God for my every need with no regrets. I think the most important thing as far as sin goes is that we must be in God's will. If we are not doing God's will how can we say that we are living free from sin? Sure we are always growing, and new light will always come and when that light comes we must drop or add whatever we must and measure up to the true word of God. I hope that this may give you a little understanding of how a sinless life can be obtained. Lanny |

12 | Absolutely perfect? | Deut 32:22 | Lanny | 18476 | ||
Joe When I was saved the tree of sin was cut down but the root of sin still dwelt within and was always ready and capable of resurfacing if not dealt with. Please realize that there are two cleansings. If one could be totally cleansed after one cleansing there would be no need for a second cleansing which is santification. How long this takes after one has been saved is different from one individual to another. For myself it was nearly 2 years. Some have reached sanctification almost immediately as with the case of Paul. Yes I had put away all outward sin but I knew that my spirit was not totally right. I could feel unwanted motions that kept coming up that I knew had to be dealt with. I knew that it was only a matter of time before they would manifest themselves outwardly. I knew in my heart that entire snctification was obtainable and I knew that I must obtain it or I would eventually revert back to sin. My desires were to never return to what I once was. After diligently seeking and laboring before God I finally by the mercy of God reached the point of being sanctified. God gave me a new spirit along with my new heart. Yes, Through the Grace of God I have put away anger, pride, lustful thought, malicious intent and motive to name a few. I'm sure that we see sin the same, however sin is sin regardless of how we see it. As for being perfect I am not there but I do believe that this is also obtainable and that we should go on to perfection, maybe not in the eyes of man, but in the eyes of God. The church in question is the Church of God. (nondenominational and not pentecostal)If you would like more information about the church or would like to attend I would be happy to supply you more information. Lanny |

13 | Answer too far from my question | Deut 32:22 | Lanny | 18642 | ||
Sorry Johnny, Guess I was looking past your question and on to the "unjust" part. I have nothing for you in the old testament but maybe Heb 4:2 may say samething about this matter. Again, sorry for the confusion. Lanny | ||||||
14 | Absolutely perfect? | Deut 32:22 | Lanny | 18859 | ||
Hi Joe, About verse 8- I did not say that I had no sin. Verse 9- I did confess my sins and he did forgive me. verse 10- If I had of said that I had no no sin prior to confessing then I would have accused him of being a liar. How about the next verse. 2:1. My little children, these things I write unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: I think that we both agree that Christ is the only one that has ever lived a sin free life. But when we are born again we are expected to also, not that everyone will or does. But when John was talking here he must have thought that someone was living without sin or else he would have said, "when man sins" instead of "if any man sins". I guess I'm not sure what you were speaking of when you said that Paul didn't even have a walk that was sinless. What did Paul do that was sinful after he was saved? You and I may disagree on this subject but I know that there will be no contention between us, and may God bless you. Lanny |

15 | Absolutely perfect? | Deut 32:22 | Lanny | 18959 | ||
Hi CDBJ,first of all I'm sorry about the name mix-up. The speeding question always comes up. Yes I have went over the speed limit many times. If we make a mistake while operating a vehicle is it a sin even if there is no intent or motive for speeding. I'm not talking about trying to make a deadline or running late for work. When is a sin and a mistake different, or are they? Is this the worst thing that we have done to make us a sinner? I agree with the verse that you mentioned in James. However in Romans I believe that Paul was giving his testamony in order to wean Jewish belivers from the likeness of the Mosaic Law talking about being in the flesh-carnally minded before they believed. But later in 8:1-2 he speaks of walking in the spirit. All this aside, lets say for time purposes that everyone sins. How much sin is tolerable? What's the cut off point? Can you loose salvation once you've obtained it? Why are we any better off now than we were before we were saved? Will God leave us like this against our will? Are we willing to say that the devil can put us in sin and God cannot deliver us out? What do we do with verses like 1 John 3:1-10, Romans 6:17-18, Hebrews 12:14? I just don't believe that this thing is as wide open as the world thinks that it is, Matthew 7:13-15. I believe that God can deliver us from anything. God is the one that I am proud of. I'm nothing and can be nothing without him. As the song says, I'll never be able to repay him. May God help us all and may God bless you always. Lanny |

16 | what was taken from the angel? | Job 20:4 | Lanny | 22134 | ||
In taking the book from the hand of the angel and eating it, John became a symbol of the church, or the people of God, who receive the Word from the hand of his ministers. The sweetness of taste signifies the eagerness that the people receive it and the gladness they experience when they first partake of the heavenly manna. The bitterness probably symbolizes the bitter persecutions and oppositions of which follows. "Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution," 2 Tim. 3:12. In Christ, Lanny |

17 | assurance of salvation | Matt 7:21 | Lanny | 28299 | ||
By being obedient to the known will of God. This is a good question and this verse tells us without a doubt that not everyone that claims to be saved are saved. Only those that do the will of the Father shall enter into the kingdom of heaven regardless of what others preach or do. God's will is very clear. And it is his will that we sin no more. In Christ, Lanny |

18 | Are all Christians going to heaven? | Matt 7:21 | Lanny | 28301 | ||
If your doing the Will of God you don't need another view. In Christ, Lanny |

19 | Does being obedient get us into heaven? | Matt 7:21 | Lanny | 28365 | ||
The question was, "How can we have the assurance that we will go to heaven?" However in regards to your question I will answer by saying, yes, we must have faith supported by works in order to be in God's will. If we say that we have faith but are not willing to obey God, do we really have faith? We cannot say that we are saved and be disobedient to God at the same time. Some may call it works or they may call it whatever they will however, I didn't write the verse. Christ did. In Christ, Lanny |

20 | assurance of salvation | Matt 7:21 | Lanny | 28408 | ||
Hi Steve, Yes, I am saying that living a life free from sin is God's will and is very much dependent on our admission to heaven. I know that this is not a popular statement in this day and age. And I know that it is not God's will that we confess our faith in Jesus and drop dead. With your statement are you implying that you can't live a sinless life or is it that you choose not to? And if you truly believe that you won't make it, are you willing to do what it takes to make it? As far as not knowing anyone who will make it, as I have stated before on this forum not to let that discourage you because the bible says that there won't be many that will make it. Mt 7:14, Lk 13:24, 1 Pt 3:20, Lk 17:26-27. In Christ, Lanny |
