101 | What Sin? | John | GeorJoy | 102409 | ||
Paul says not to quarrel about issues that are a matter of opinion. Considering the fact that both sides on this issue have been stated, and much opinion as to scriptural interptitation has surfaced, I should think that quarreling is the next phase. Thus I will rest my case and admit only to a draw, agreeing to dissagree. Humbly George |

Bro John, as I am sure you will agree, some simply can not or will not understand. Along with the few who have the nerve to "stand firm," I will not be swayed by the (opinions) of others when scripture plainly tells me contrary. It is apparent that you simply do not understand my argument. I understand where you are coming from and I wish you could truly understand what you read. Paul says not to quarrel about issues that are a matter of opinion. You have your opinion. I have mine. My opinion is based on scripture. I am sure you contend likewise. Considering the fact that both sides on this issue have been stated, and much opinion as to scriptural interptitation has surfaced, I should think that quarreling is the next phase. Thus I will rest my case and admit only to a draw, agreeing to dissagree. Humbly George |

One final thought. I wonder about your interpritation of 2 Peter. Particularily 2 Peter 2:21. Exhorting In Christ To the end George |

There are many thoughts and truths portrayed by scripture that are not specifically worded therein. Thus they are considered as mere opinions by those with limited or no discernment and, or void of understanding. In not so many words, yet direct from scripture, I have posted your answer already in this very thread. One can be shown the truth, but he must see it. Other than through the Spirit, no one can see it for him. In Christ George |

I can not believe Hank, that you should make such a post in response to the thread to which it is attached!!! Are you responding to My post? I think not! For, if so then your computer screen is not showing words that came from my keyboard. I intend absolutely no malice Hank, but you might consider re-reading my posts, for your post, though vaguely near, is absurdly beneath the realms of thought portrayed therein. In Christ George |

And what of those who "do not" overcome? Through a dirrect result of their actions, or lack thereof, will the Lord not do as He stated in Rev 3:5 Everyone responding has either ignored or failed to see the truth in this verse... George |

Are you so quick to judge simply due to your lack of understanding? Read Rev 3:5. Interpret it as you will. Then read 1Peter 2:4 to 9 Then read 2 Peter 2:20 to 22. Then dear brother and all who would dispute the subject, re read them until the spirit opens your eyes. For it is apparent that it is not the time of understanding for many. Could it be that the reason that so many are described in 2Ti 3:7 is possibly due to the fact that they have, and continue to ignore the instruction in 2Ti 2:15. Radioman2. I have provided what you ask. If you still do not understand; this doesn’t make these truths any less true. Don’t let it bother you dear brother for, “for everything there is a time,” even the understanding of various truths. …That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; Exhorting In the name of our Lord And Savior, Jesus Christ.

110 | Isn't believing Christ for salvation suf | John 3:3 | GeorJoy | 90956 | ||
Sorry about that. Your answer is "NO" Absolutely and positively NO. Just believing in Christ isn't sufficient for salvation. Saton himself believes in him. Yet Satan himself most assuredly has not confessed his sins or asked for forgiveness. Just believing in something dosen't make us a member of that something. KJV Rom 10:10 For "with the heart" man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 1Pe 1:5 Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. George |

Jam 2:19 KJV Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. Is Jesus not God! Would you say that those spoken of in the verse quoted above have received salvation due to their belief? Anyone who adds to what I have already quoted is simply adding leaven to the bread. "Paraphrasing the word." Be leary of mans leaven, (or at the very least, pray for discernment,) for you do not always know his intent nor level of spirituality concerning the true word. What I have provided in this and my last post concerning this subject is bread in its purest form. I have added my leaven in hopes of clarification. Discernment and understanding on the part of the reader is one thing I can not add to my post. 2Ti 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. Your answer, whether you like, accept or understand it lies herein. I don't know about you, but I personally don't care what anyone else "believes" concerning scripture. If they can't back it with scripture, it is only "opinion." My years have taught me that "opinion" is rarely worth the paper it is written on... George |

Jam 2:19 KJV Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. Is Jesus not God! Would you say that those spoken of in the verse quoted above have received salvation due to their belief? I make no apologies, nor arguments, for it is in scripture. 1Pe 1:25 But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you. There is more to salvation than just believing. KJV Rom 10:10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. One cannot “pick and choose” as you have done, where the word of God is concerned. In its entirety, one can see the whole picture. Zoom in on the picture and you will only see a portion thereof. Read it all, my friend. If you have read and still make the assumption you have posted, you should read again, not just a verse or two. Not even a chapter or two. Perhaps after you have read a book or two, the picture will come together. By then you should be able to see the absurdity of your assumption. If not, there is only prayer left. If what you state were correct, then believing would be a free ticket to the commission of sin. Joh 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Joh 3:6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Joh 3:7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. Joh 3:8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit. George |

Pro 12:15 The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that hearkeneth unto counsel is wise. KJV Pro 13:16 Every prudent man dealeth with knowledge: but a fool layeth open his folly. Pro 18:2 A fool hath no delight in understanding, but that his heart may discover itself. Pro 18:2 "A fool hath no delight in understanding, but that his heart may discover itself." Pro 18:6 A fool's lips enter into contention, and his mouth calleth for strokes. Is this the criticism you were expecting? I could pin you down to the level of your master. The one who first tried to use scripture against my Master, I will conclude with Pro 26:5; Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit. George |

I have provided the scriptural references. They are adequate to answer the question you posted. Understanding, or acceptance, I can not provide. If you will read and (study) more of what Paul has to say on the subject, you will understand what I have been saying. Try reading or (studying) the book of Romans, particularily the 10th chapter. I will provide one final scripture concerning this subject. Anything more would be a waste of yours and my time. KJV 2Ti 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. May God open your eyes and those of all who diligently seek His word but, seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear. God Bless George |

If you consider the the commentaries of man more valuable than than the word of God, and it is your desire to "throw IT out", then so be it. As well, if you consider the Holy Bible "pious conceited thinking," then all I can say is "Lord help!" Some Commentaries are good. But they are JUST THAT, commentaries. The comments of mortal man. Nowhere will you read in the word that any commentary is, as is the word of God. 2Ti 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: It sounds as though, either you simply do not understand what I have said, or you simply don't agree and are trying to change the meaning thereof.

I don't know Ken. I should think it would have rung home if I I had. However, this forum is so confusing that it wouldn't surprise me if I hadn't meant the post for someone else. God Bless. George |

Ok my friend. If it is your desire, you have every right to focus on that one particular verse, and pay absolutely no attention to the others I have quoted. I can't imagine one even having read the book of Romans and not understood what I have "QUOTED from scripture." I am also aware of various "translators" who aren't in the least biblical in their translations. Your having "translated the entire letter to the Romans," yet having no more understanding of salvation than you profess puts me in mind of the Pharisees and Sadducees. I mean this not as an insult, for I am sure that you are sincere in what you say and think. I am also sure that there were Pharisees and Sadducees that were just as sincere. I give PRAISE TO GOD ALMIGHTY that you have noticed that "This kind of response seems to be coming more and more frequently on the forum over the last few weeks," for this is EXACTLY what I have been preaching herein for past few weeks. That one should STUDY the word for themselves as it says in 2Ti 2:15 KJV "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." And that one should follow a man of God, preferably their Pastor, and go to him rather than such false prophets as are running rampant on sights such as this and throughout the web. I thank God also, that to date, all who I have personally corresponded with on THIS PARTICULAR sight have been (serious) where the word of God is concerned. We have averted arguments, agreed, disagreed, and agreed to disagree. I should hope that you could be included in this statement. It is up to you, for I will not back off from the word. Not my interpretation is THE WORD, for the word IS my interpretation. I depend on the Holy Spirit and those inspired and anointed of God, proven such over the century’s, for scriptural translation Your statement that "When one can't explain their position, or Scripture totally teaches something other than their position," proves that you have "translated more than just the book of Romans." It is apparent that you have "translated" it into something that it isn't. Anyone, no matter how ignorant, who has read the posts to which your note is attached, can plainly see your refusal to accept or understand "SCRIPTURE." If you would rather use your personal so called "translation," then if you insist on sharing your ignorance, you should expect that those who recognize it as such will, at least make an attempt to clarify what you have so badly distorted.

I thank you for not having responded in the manor in which many would have. I would have to say that without realizing, you have found the contention. Although belief is a synonym (one of two or more words or expressions of the same language that have the same or “nearly” the same meaning in some or all senses,) thereof; Faith is a different word and has a different meaning, (although slight.) Rom 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved Whether we can express it in words or not, I think we may be on the same track. The key word is FAITH. However, I still contend, and will until scripture is shown to say otherwise, that “BELIEVING ALONE IS NOT SUFFICIENT FOR SALVATION!!!” The answer is in the “whole of scripture”, not one verse thereof. If one were to, (and there are many who do,) take individual verses and focus in on them, they could, (and do) make the scripture say whatever they desire. God Bless George |

120 | Is God's love unconditional ? | John 3:16 | GeorJoy | 91619 | ||
Joh 3:16 Yea, and this was the very design of God's love in sending him into the world. Whosoever believeth on him - With that faith which worketh by love, and hold fast the beginning of his confidence steadfast to the end. God so loved the world - That is, all men under heaven; even those that despise his love, and will for that cause finally perish. Otherwise not to believe would be no sin to them. For what should they believe? Ought they to believe that Christ was given for them? Then he was given for them. He gave his only Son - Truly and seriously. And the Son of God gave himself, Gal_4:4, truly and seriously. Per John Wesley George |
