101 | Is the sin nature substance or mind set? | Phil 3:9 | Ken hepting | 100465 | ||
Pam didn't ask, I did..Thanks anyway. Some of what you stated I agree with, some is vague. But that's Ok, you did injury to no one and a good hungrying and thirsting will go a long way in sorting out what isn't clear. Ken |

[No, the SECOND ONE I mentioned was the first Great Awakening...I approve of genuine revivals, don't you? :)] Depends on what you mean by revival. If it worked the first time it shouldn't need to be revived and we should still be functioning correctly. Why revive something that didn't work...get me drift? If it died, Why? FWI, God doesn't send revival, He sends Himself. |

It's a dissapointing job clearing through the mud that someone else throws out.. they don't know when to quit throwing it. I'll try another path until the kiddies finish there fling and grow up alittle more. | ||||||

[As was mentioned earlier, how can someone engage you in conversation if you continue to make these nonsensical comments? Your statements and questions do not relate to John's posting.] Then just don't tell me, SHOW me with something specific I've mis-quoted or mis-understood instead of presenting me with your untoward accusations. of being nonsensical. I personally feel his explanation "STUNK" and your remarks also.. |

I'm confused...I perceive it to be from "murkiness". | ||||||

[For the second, since it was actually God's Spirit in action.] How so since many were innocent? |

Am I on the right track? You pose more questions than you ask like "Who is we"?, "How does Jesus give us a new heart"?, At what point in time does that happen"? Is that Justification or Sanctification"? "Progressive or instantanious"? "Who's nature is enabling me to win my battles, His or mine? "Battles over what [assuming no wickedness cause sin is more than just wickedness"] So what is it, some "magical wand waving thing" we do? Lets see some Bible in your answer contextually applied and not pet doctrine. |

[Absolutely..and the first Great Awakening] I don't know about others but your remark says nothing to me. I don't know whether yer fer'um or agin' um. |

I like to know what I'm up against when someone says they are a teacher. I am too and like to find agreement with other teachers. | ||||||

Well perhaps you should heed the warning and stop preaching him. I would. I like this forum and sense there are a few good folk here who sense what the issues are and seek discussion without being persuaded to accept an "indoctrination" into something of a cult nature. |

I understand but it is not from a theological perspective that I discuss such men. Why they did it is a subject that will always be debated with no one winning. The fact they did it is of a historical nature. Augustine, Luther, Calvin, et al; have left marks on history that we have responsibilty to see and be cautious that we don't take into ourselves another gospel from them or anyone.. God didn't permit it and when He saw it happening He raised up another denomination to counter it. All having a truth but none having all of it. So if persecution comes for your way make sure it's because of preaching Jesus and not someone else. | ||||||

[And I hate to tell you this, but New England was "heavily influenced by his thinking," as you put it.] Yep..Salem witch trials and all. |

[Caution: Detrimental remarks especially Calvinism/Arminianism is not permitted. Continued abuse of the rule will lead to loss of posting priviledges.] Well, if I was speaking of Jesus in that tone I believe you would be correct. Calvin was a man like all the rest of us. He made gross mistakes in his thinking that lead to much blood-letting and destruction. Our national Constitution is written in way to prevent what he did in Geneva, from ever happening again. People came to these shores to escape government and persecution heavily influenced by his thinking. That just history, John, not my opinion. If we've reached a point we can't speak of history on a forum such as this where all should be willing to know while not distorting the truth for advantage, we're in big trouble. Satan wins another one. |

116 | How do you "share the Gospel?" | Matt 28:18 | Ken hepting | 100378 | ||
You wrote: "But if you desire of Him and become what He desires, what is our responsibility? [At the present time we have two different perspectives on how God sanctfies His saints. You seem to be focused on our responsibility and I'm focused on God's soveriegnty in the process of sanctification.] Lets be clear, I believe in the sovereignity of God. Sanctification is a proccess, an impartation of the righteoussnes of Christ. It happens as we learn how to abide in Christ, enter into His kingdom, take up our cross and become a son to the end that He can trust us with the handling of His Glory. This proccess should begin at the beginning when we are imputed His righteousness unto salvation/Justification. But alas and alac, Most go no further. Many are called...few choose. Consequently, few are chosen. [It is a complex and mysterious relationship.] Not if you fall in love with Jesus and let Him baptize you with His Holy Spirit. [In a way, we are both right! We are commanded to do certain things and to hold certain attitudes and it is our responsibility to strive to be obedient and to be faithful reflections of our Lord.] I believe we are to quench not the Spirit for when we do we break communication and the ability to receive the impartation God desires us to receive. Some of us require a heart bypass. [At the same time we must not overlook or ignore the teaching that it is not ourselves who do good works, but it is the Spirit of Christ in us.] I don't think so. I'll give you this...Our works should be as Jesus [the man] spoke: "I only do what I see my Father doing". Paul said he lived "by the faith OF the son of God". In this sense the verse that says "Faith without works is dead", now makes real sense. The relationship is now revealed as to whether one is burning oil or wick. Jesus is always working and making intercession on our be half. Should we do less for others but with the mind of God and not our own wits? [Eph 2:10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them.] You verse from Eph. is quite fitting for what I'm saying. [The way I see it is that we are to act AS IF it all depends on us, but not forget, that it all depends on Him.] Our first responsibilty is to get minds stayed on Him. Proverbs 16:9 (NASB-U) The mind of man plans his way, But the Lord directs his steps. I would say that the mind of man should be the MIND of God that the man be directed without a mis-step because of his "flesh". [Remember...even our initial desire for Christ did not come from our us but from above!] Again, you aren't distinguishing between justification and sanctification. Man sees his need, some respond, some don't. The woman with the issue of blood had a need, saw Jesus and became convinced. Her faith, from a need, did the trick. I think that's why there so few rich Christians in the world. We interfere with the purposes of God more than we know when try to run interference for Him by "blessing" others when He's dealing with them. [John 3:27 John answered and said, "A man can receive nothing unless it has been given him from heaven.] Very true...and what stirs God to give? "If we don't know how to accomplish the task what should we recognize about ourselves that needs to be rectified?" [For that we need revelation from the Holy Spirit.] How's that accomplished and if you don't get it do you make a move? |

117 | Scriptural support of your position? | Matt 28:18 | Ken hepting | 100371 | ||
[You might consider this: the dead were judged according to their deeds which were written in the books - those who lived apart from the law, did not have their "wrongs" according to the law recorded there (Romans 5:13) which you offered.] Well then wouldn't you then suppose their names to be written the book of life? [BUT this does not mean that their names are in the Book of Life for God's Word declares that the righteous will live by faith - He imputes His righteousness on the basis of our faith.] Well wouldn't you suppose they lived with a hope of something beyond themselves God honors as faith because of their blamelessness? What else can a LOViNG God require of an innocent people? [I didn't say pure; without sin] Creation, as you pointed out, gives them [some] the hope. |

That's ok. I've done the same stuff many times. | ||||||

[There are those in this world who have never heard it - yet God CAN be known through His creation] ..Yes. Those that live blameless will see Jesus. |

[So I would say that Love is not a name for God. Love is the gift that He gives. He gives the holy spirit to us.] Contextually, Ray, I believe you to be quite wrong. I can't go into it but volumes are written about God being beyond our wildest imagination in regards to love. To say His name isn't synomonus with love is to not understand that. Love is the very heart of God and one might say Jesus is the expression [lips] of that heart. No, I think His name is LOVE. |
