101 | speaking in tongues | Bible general Archive 4 | EdB | 234195 | ||
Goodguy We must be careful of feelings! We must trust in scripture to guide us. But we must properly interpret scripture making sure we aren't filtering our interpretation process of scripture through preconceived ideas, biases, prejudices, and past teachings. Many cling dogmatically to doctrine that contradicts other established doctrine found elsewhere in scripture. Also know that some positions of doctrine have been debated for hundreds of years with out resolution. So for one person to say I'm right and everyone else is wrong is just as absurd as another saying I'm right and you are wrong. There are men and women of distinction on both sides of the speaking in tongues issue. Most are similarly educated, of equal intelligence, all possessing high standards of Bible study, dedication, faith and holiness yet they differ on this subject. Why this has occurred I can't answer with any certainty. I have an opinion but it isn't popular and for that reason I will not offer it. But I believe it will be answered when the church is brought back into unity. |

All through scripture we see people questioning things they could not reconcile to scripture as they understood it. So Jesus gave us a test. If it glorifies God and brings people to the saving knowledge of God then it must be of God. Luke 11:17-18 (NASB) 17 But He knew their thoughts and said to them, "Any kingdom divided against itself is laid waste; and a house divided against itself falls. 18 "If Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? ... Mark 9:39-41 (NASB) 39 But Jesus said, "Do not hinder him, for there is no one who will perform a miracle in My name, and be able soon afterward to speak evil of Me. 40 "For he who is not against us is for us. 41 "For whoever gives you a cup of water to drink because of your name as followers of Christ, truly I say to you, he will not lose his reward. Acts 14:4 (NASB) 4 But the people of the city were divided; and some sided with the Jews, and some with the apostles. |

I'm not sure I have an alternative. I just wanted to know on what verses of scripture you based your thoughts on. In an earlier post you said, " Upon birth a name is entered into the book of life. When one reaches the age of accountability the name is blotted from the book of life. Later when that person accepts Christ...thru repentance and baptism...the name is then entered into the ...Lambs book of life. Thus the reason for the two books" That is interesting theory but what scripture is it based on? |

104 | Am I going to Hell for attending UMC | Bible general Archive 4 | EdB | 234267 | ||
Azure Normally UMC stands for the United Methodist Church, which was formed from the union the Evangelical United Brethren Church and the Methodists. EUB and Methodist have doctrine which is considered Orthodox Christian doctrine, although UMC has gone through some political infighting as people try to change those doctrines to be more Politically correct. 10 years ago they were swinging very liberal but lately I have seen them take a more conservative path. |

I'm not questioning your conclusion at this time. I'm simply asking what scripture did you use to get that opinion. In your explanation you provided exact timings or events where names are entered and removed from the two books and I can't find where this is detailed in scripture and I was interested on verses you based you conclusions |

Forget about whether our name can be blotted out or not. That is not my question. You made the statement "Upon birth a name is entered into the book of life. When one reaches the age of accountability the name is blotted from the book of life. Later when that person accepts Christ...thru repentance and baptism...the name is then entered into the ...Lambs book of life. Thus the reason for the two books. I'm simply trying to find out what scriptures you used to justify that statement. In these two chapters the book is never mentioned so how do you come to the conclusion it is the book of life? Also what is the age of accountability and where is it mentioned? Also what scripture says our name are blotted out of the book of life upon our reaching the age of accountability? Where does scripture make the distinction between the Book of Life and the Lamb Book of Life? |

G Preston Okay I will answer your question. Exodus 32-33 says your name can be blotted out of a book. The name of the book is never given nor is it known at this point. |

108 | Book of Life | Bible general Archive 4 | EdB | 234318 | ||
G Preston again I agree names can be removed from the Book of Life. But that does not answer my question where does it say when a name is entered, and where is any mention of the age of accountability. |

Let me add this Rev 22:19 mentions one book the Book of Life it does not speak of the Lambs Book of Life. As best I can find the Lambs Book of Life is mentioned one place in scripture in Rev 21:27 We don't don't know if there are two books or one referred to in two ways. |

But then we have this parable Matthew 22:1-14 and in particular verse 22:11-12. The man thought he was allowed to attend the wedding and asked why he hadn't changed his clothes he was speechless. Sounds like he thought he was saved but wasn't and didn't know it. I contend there are many many in the church today that really believe they are saved but will be cast into the outer darkness. |

Azure I would say we must understand what that verse is saying and particularly the Greek word Pisteuo which is translated believe. This word means far more than head knowledge belief in Jesus Christ. It means they have become so dependant in their belief of Jesus Christ that their very lives are encompassed by Him. In other words their lives (those to whom 1 John is written) is so committed to Jesus that they don’t consider whether they are saved or not. For them it is not about being saved or not saved, it is about being in service to Christ and trusting that Christ will make all things work to their good. Here John is writing telling them that this Pisteuo belief has assured their salvation. Look at the three Hebrew Children being taken and thrown in the fire. They did not know their outcome, they only knew they were to serve God. They didn’t care if God would save them to allow them to burn, they only cared that they served God. They only knew two things, they weren’t going to worship anything other than God and that they were going to be thrown into the fire. The end of the story had not yet been written, but there was no question in their minds, there was only a total dependency on God. Today too many are dependant on whether they said the sinners prayer, walked the aisle, had fruit in their life, didn’t sin, etc. They think they are saved because that is what they have been told. However they never made themselves dependant on Jesus Christ to the point that the question was never considered because all that was important to them was serving Christ. Many will go to the wedding dinner without having the proper clothing and when asked why they will be speechless because they listened to man instead of the word of God. They have said the sinners prayer, they had walked the aisle, they had fruit in their life but they never had total dependence in Jesus Christ. Salvation should be our hope but our dependency should be in our trust of God. I believe we must be able to answer like Job, “though he slay me I will trust in God…” When we are at that point the question, “are we saved or not”, does not come into existence. |

Okay I see where you are coming from. And yes I think you may be right from what you said there seems to be some problems in the church you are now attending. There are abuses is Pentecostalism just as there are in non Pentecostal churches. You need to find a church that aligns or agrees with your understanding of the scriptures on the subject of Gifts of the Spirit. I pray you seek the leading of the Lord on this. It is even conceivable that God would have you stay where you are to bring correction but I really caution you to make sure that you know that you know that you know your being lead of God. Best to you and please let us know how this all turns out. |

118 | Praying in tongues | Bible general Archive 4 | EdB | 235362 | ||
Doc it wasn't CUP it was me your old nemesis EdB that supplied the verses. I think what Cup is repeating is man's reasoning that if one were to pray in the language of angels Satan would not be able to understand it. I have never found this supportted in scripture but there must be some reason God exhorted his children to pray in tongues at certain times in their lives. Keeping Satan off balance is as good a reason as I can think of. |

119 | Creation and Restoration of the Earth | Bible general Archive 4 | EdB | 235371 | ||
If the Genesis account stopped with void then yes there would be a problem, however Genesis goes on and clearly states God continued to create until the earth was complete. Isaiah 45:18.19 is merely confirming what the Genesis account stated. Verse 19 God has confirmed when he spoke to man it wasn't in secret but out loud. Revelation also speaks of drawing away by Satan of a 1/3 in future. If Satan already drew away 1/3 and then in revelation draws another 1/3 he would have 2/3 not likely. I agree we must rightly divide the word and not read into it things it does not say. Genesis tells of the creation of the world. Isaiah attests that it happened that way and that God dealings with man is not in the dark secret places of earth. |

You may disagree but all you present is strawman arguments that are only seen to exist to those that want to believe in the Gap theory and Pre Adamic world. Had the Genesis account stopped with Genesis 1:2 there would be a problem in light of so many other scriptures that says God created earth to be inhabited. But the Genesis account doesn't stop at Genesis 1:2 nor is there any indication of a time gap between verse 1 and verse 2. Genesis is an account of the creation of the world. When God gave the account of how He brought the world together from nothing he did so in stages first the initial formation and then enhancements that were made to make the world we know. Verse 1:1 is the big picture, verses Genesis 1:2-chapter 2:7 is a more detailed summary and Genesis 2:8 and on gives a more detailed account. Notice the comment in verse 2:5 and 6 it says God had not made it rain on earth and a mist came up from the ground to water the land. Then move forward to Noah’s flood account, to accomplish what God did there God made the water spew from both the ground and made a down pour rain. Verse 5and 6 said rain never occurred before on the earth. The 2 Peter account can only be the Flood of Noah, as it details two events pertinent to the reader, Noah’s flood and the final destruction of the Earth by fire. There is no mention of the previous flood and if you insist the flood mentioned is the Pre Adamic flood then the account leaves out the most significant flood to the readers, the Noah flood and that I think you have to agree is unlikely. As far as the testimony of Isaiah and Jeremiah both pertain to the present world as that is the only thing that interests the reader. A pre Adamic world would hold like interest to people at the time of it writing. As for Psalms 104:1-10 is the creation story reaffirmed. There is not conflict with it and the Genesis account of creation. There is nothing to suggest a Pre Noah flood nor is anything that suggest that if there was a pre Adamic flood did exist (which it didn’t) that, that flood or Katabola, as you seem to like to call it, was a far worst flood than Noah’s which killed all of humanity except Noah and his family. |
