1 | Pride is a good thing! Or is it? | Not Specified | humbledbyhisgrace | 153358 | ||
Pride is a good thing! Or is it? How many of us have raised our children encouraging them to be proud of themselves and to take pride in their accomplishments. Teaching them to have confidence in themselves. I know I did and I thought this was the right thing to do. But is it? What are some better ways we can teach our children God's truths and use this to teach them to be confident instead of teaching them to be prideful in themselves? | ||||||

6 | Would his heart not be humbled? | Not Specified | humbledbyhisgrace | 191895 | ||
If one is called to teach the word of God Is he concerned with his own glory? Does he do so in a condescending way? Does he do so as if he is the authority on scripture? Does he approach it as if he is the only one who knows anything at all about God's word? What affect does pride have on his effectiveness to teach? Would his heart not be humbled at what God has called him to do and be obedient, humbled and gracious in that calling? Thoughts? Steve |

14 | Who were the firstborn? | Bible general Archive 4 | humbledbyhisgrace | 196878 | ||
Hi Jim, To add to what brother Hank posted, Scripture also speaks of Israel as the firstborn (Exodus 4:22) and also of Christ as the firstborn (Hebrews 1:6, Hebrews 12:23, Romans 8:29, Colossians 1:15, Colossians 1:18, Revelation 1:5) Steve |

15 | Would Jesus follow this scripture? | Bible general Archive 4 | humbledbyhisgrace | 197131 | ||
ssongssu, This is God's law, how could it be possible that your way "Wouldn't it be more christian to find out what were the motives of the murderer and try to fix his problems?" be more Christian as you say then God's way? Perhaps you misunderstand what the passage is saying? God created man in His image! He is stating here the value He places on His creation so to speak. To expound a bit more, He is saying man is not to kill man because he was created by God and in God's image and therefore mans life was of great value. So if man takes the life of another, by man his life shall be taken as well. It was meant to be a punishment for mankind destroying that which God had created in His image. For who is man that he has any right to even touch that which is God's unless God Himself grants him that right? I hope this helps! But I must also say this, regardless if you cannot understand His word and/or find it hard to accept as is, you must keep in mind that it is His word and regardless if you agree or not, His way is perfect, pure and holy! He alone is the creator and He alone sets the standards of Holiness and righteousness! Your way and mine could never measure up to His! May He bless you, Steve |

Greetings Brother! The Lord Himself, in His instructions on prayer directed that one ask for forgiveness. Matthew 6:12 (NASB) And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. Luke 11:4 (NASB) And forgive us our sins, For we ourselves also forgive everyone who is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation. How can it be that it would be an insult to Him to then ask Him? Asking for forgiveness of sin is in fact confessing you have sinned is it not? Steve |

Greetings Brother, If God were insulted, it would be by the sin and I would think never by the repentant heart seeking to restore a right relationship with him and asking for forgiveness. I find no biblical support the Lords instructions on prayer found in Matthew 6:12 and Luke 11:4 are applicable only until His death and resurrection and/or limited to a period of time. It is interesting that if the Lord intended Matthew 6:12 to be limited in it's application that he would comment even further in verses 14 and 15 and that we would find this teaching elsewhere (Mark 11:25; Luke 6:37; Ephesians 4:32; Col. 3:13; Matthew 18:35; James 2:13).

Greetings again Dr. Steeno! Sorry for the delay in responding. Long days on the job I have been so blessed to have! You said "Why would one have to ask for what they already have?" From scripture we clearly see there is a need to! For the Lord Himself said ""Pray, then, in this way..."(Matthew 9 NASB) ... "And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors." (Matthew 9:12 NASB). And in Luke 11:4 (NASB) "And forgive us our sins, For we ourselves also forgive everyone who is indebted to us..." It must be noted, the Lords instruction is not instructing one to pray for salvation. This is instruction for a child of God "Our Father who is in heaven ... (Matthew 6:9). Again, from scripture (1 John 1:8, Romans 7:14-25, ) we know we still sin! In 1 John 1:9 if there is need to confess our sin there is need for forgiveness. Again, 1 John 2:1 (NASB) "...And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous". John 13:10 (NASB) "Jesus said to him, "He who has bathed needs only to wash his feet, but is completely clean..." Clearly, a Christian can and does still sin! If we have been born again, our salvation secured (Which I believe by the way), why then would we need to seek forgiveness when we continue to stumble and sin? As I understand it, we can stay right there in 1 John 1 to get a good idea of why? 1 John 1:5-7 (NASB) 1:5 This is the message we have heard from Him and announce to you, that God is Light, and in Him there is no darkness at all. In Him there is no darkness! 1:6 If we say that we have fellowship with Him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth; 1:7 but if we walk in the Light as He Himself is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin. Note in verse 6 the claim to fellowship and what it is we do not practice (Truth) when we "yet walk in the darkness". Ah, "but if we walk in the Light as He Himself is in the Light, we have fellowship" with Him! What fellowship has light with darkness? I hope this helps clear up anything I may have confused you on!

Steeno, Where do we go from here? I find it pointless and meaningless and even dangerous to think we can honor God and edify one another with the opinions of man. I have no desire to argue over God's word. He is HOLY (1 Peter 1:15-16)! And His word is TRUTH (John 17:17)! It is not mine to lord over nor claim authority over. I have given you my understanding based on His word. In return you offer the opinions of man with no Scripture reference for edification. Read again! I offered much more then one verse in which you accuse me of "hanging" my "hat" on. Am I the one who has thrown out "a whole slew of other passages"? It is an interesting thing in light of what has been written in this discussion that you would accuse me of these things. Most are familiar with 2 Timothy 3:16 which says "All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness" (NASB) But it should never be missed the importance of verse 17! 2 Timothy 3:17 (NASB) "so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work."
