1 | free will or predestine ? | Bible general Archive 4 | savedsince1980 | 217767 | ||
Please read Matt 20:16, Matt 22:14, John 6:70, John 13:18, John 15:16, John 15:19, Acts 1:2, Acts 22:14, Romans 16:13, Eph 1:4, 2Thess 2:13, 2Tim 2:4, James 2:5, 1Pet 2:9, and Rev 17:14. Then ask yourself, why do I not believe we have been chosen (or predestined?) | ||||||
2 | free will or predestine ? | Bible general Archive 4 | savedsince1980 | 217798 | ||
That's difficult (for me), finding passages that support a false doctrine. But, here goes...when I was a Baptist (for about a year, in 1980) they taught us free will and once-saved-always-saved. I cannot recall one scripture they quoted to support the free will doctrine. How about Matt. 26:39? Jesus shoes us that he has a free will. I think that people have a free will to reject Jesus. But, I don't think they have a free will to accept Jesus. They have to be called first. This is a hard saying. | ||||||
3 | Tithing before Mosaic Law | Gen 14:20 | savedsince1980 | 217768 | ||
No. It is mentioned only twice before it became part of the 613 laws we collectively call "the law." Jesus mentioned the tithe only in reference to what the Pharisees were doing. (By the way Jesus was still under the law. The new covenant wasn't yet in effect.) Tithing is not mentioned one time in the book of Acts or in any of the epistles except for Hebrews, where it is part of the old covenant which has been superseded by the new covenant. Tithing is not for the church. If you really want to know what tithing's about ask a Jew. Modern Jews, who supposedly keep the law, don't even tithe! | ||||||
4 | Christ did not do away with the tithe | Gen 14:20 | savedsince1980 | 217769 | ||
But, Jesus himself was walking under the law. The new covenant was not instituted until his death and resurrection. If tithing is important why is is not even mentioned at the council in Jerusalem (Acts 10) which was deciding which laws to tell THE GENTILES it was necessary to obey? | ||||||
5 | Tithing before Mosaic Law | Gen 14:20 | savedsince1980 | 217784 | ||
The first murder was also before the Mosaic law(s, all 613 of them.) Should we follow that example also? | ||||||

7 | Christ did not do away with the tithe | Gen 14:20 | savedsince1980 | 217789 | ||
Maybe I should have said that teaching tithing is heretical. If an individual's conscience tells him/her to tithe (give a tenth), then that's not heresy. What is heresy is teaching that others should tithe. This is equivalent to what Jesus said in Matt. 23:4...For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers. (KJV) The modern-day Pharisees, often trained in seminaries and bible colleges, spout tithing as if it's straight from the Lord when, in fact, it is a tradition taught to them by men/women who missed the whole point of tithing in the first place. (Reread Gen. 14:20 carefully.) | ||||||
8 | Tithing before Mosaic Law | Gen 14:20 | savedsince1980 | 217790 | ||
Maybe I responded to a response, not to your original post. | ||||||
9 | Tithing before Mosaic Law | Gen 14:20 | savedsince1980 | 217849 | ||
My point is that, just because somebody (even Abram) did something before the Law it doesn't mean that it is something that Christian believers should be doing today. I could name a long list of things that Abram did that we don't do today. The foundation for tithing is extremely weak. | ||||||
10 | At the very moment of physical death | Eccl 12:7 | savedsince1980 | 217851 | ||
Read Luke 16:19-23 for the details. | ||||||
11 | Using the word Lucifer | Is 14:12 | savedsince1980 | 217771 | ||
She's probably demon possessed. | ||||||
12 | Using the word Lucifer | Is 14:12 | savedsince1980 | 217850 | ||
I don't owe her an apology since I haven't spoken with her. I just stated an opinion. She obviously doesn't like it when you talk about her boss. | ||||||
13 | Why does Jesus have mercy on Demons? | Mark 5:13 | savedsince1980 | 217854 | ||
Because "To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven" (Eccl. 3:1.) The time for the punishment of the demons had not yet arrived. That occurs much later (see Matt. 25:41 and Rev. 20:10-15.) | ||||||
14 | Why does Jesus have mercy on Demons? | Mark 5:13 | savedsince1980 | 217910 | ||
God's day to you also. In my opinion, each of the gospel accounts is in chronological order within itself. To see how they relate to each other you have use a chronological bible or at least a chronological gospel harmony. The one I just checked (see here: http://www.lifeofchrist.com/life/harmony/ ) places Mark 5:1-19 after Mark 1:34. In my opinion, their time was not up. The punishment of fallen angels and demons is still in the future. In my opinion, different demons require different techniques. As you may recall the kind of demon that causes psychotic and/or epileptic behavior (see Matt. 17:14-21) requires both fasting and prayer to expel. I don't know why that is. In my opinion, it is a tougher demon, possibly higher up in the pecking order so to speak. | ||||||
15 | Why does Jesus have mercy on Demons? | Mark 5:13 | savedsince1980 | 217914 | ||
That's why I said "in my opinion." It's a qualifier that makes it clear that I am not quoting a scripture, kind of like what the Apostle Paul wrote "But I speak this by permission, and not of commandment." (1 Cor. 7:6.) He was expressing his opinion that unmarried people should remain unmarried. How often do you hear that preached in church? But, it was after all just his opinion, not the word of the Lord. | ||||||
16 | 3rd or 4th temple Zechariah 6:12-13 | John 2:18 | savedsince1980 | 217936 | ||
Please read John 2:18-21. The third temple was the body of the Lord, Jesus Christ, himself. Also, please read all of Ezekial chapter 11, where the glory of the Lord departs from the temple (v. 23.) The temple of God is the place where the glory (or Spirit) dwells. Today that is the body of believers, not some building in Jerusalem. You are under a general misconception altogether. Forget buildings made of stone or wood and think "body of Christ," where the Spirit dwells today. | ||||||
17 | Should I get baptized again? | Acts | savedsince1980 | 217856 | ||
This is what the bible says about baptism..." 35Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus. 36 And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized? 37 And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. 38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him. (Acts 8:35-38.) Based on that I would say that a person should be baptized in water only after he or she has believed with all his/her heart that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. Any prior baptism is of no consequence. |
||||||
18 | Should I get baptized again? | Acts | savedsince1980 | 217859 | ||
Where should we derive doctrine then? From the opinions of man? Or from the plain and easy-to-understand word of God? | ||||||
19 | Should I get baptized again? | Acts | savedsince1980 | 217866 | ||
Then, is what I said not correct? | ||||||
20 | Should I get baptized again? | Acts | savedsince1980 | 217870 | ||
I think that's where you and I differ. I believe that the entire bible, all 66 canonical books, are inspired (literally "God breathed.) Acts isn't simply an historcial narrative to me. It's the word of God, and therefore a fact and not an opinion. | ||||||
