1201 | jesus born prior to earth? | Heb 13:8 | srbaegon | 35815 | ||
Hello JMSCOTT, You better read Exodus 3 again. God revealed to Moses His character before revealing His name. But to your main point: What you are saying is that unless we proclaim God's name, we are hopelessly striving in the work of the gospel. OK, from now on, every time I speak about God I will preface it by saying, "God's name is YHWH". Sounds like a magic formula to me. I'll pass. Steve |

1202 | jesus born prior to earth? | Heb 13:8 | srbaegon | 35833 | ||
JMSCOTT You: "Genesis 5th chapter male and female he created them and called their name man(adam)......Adam was the masculine....eve was the feminine...ad those vowels to yhwh and you have yahweh!" Me: True, but since Genesis was not written in English, you cannot use this cute little formula. You: "read verse 13 of exodous moses say's the people will ask what is the name of the god...that sent you...depends on what translation you read....I am or i will to be!...verse 14...then 15 his name......to tell someone they better!" Me: Correct, but you are ignoring the fact that God taught His character first by requiring Moses to remove his sandals because he was on holy ground and then by identifying Himself as the covenant God of his forefathers. First things first, please. You: "how can you teach the gospel...which is the word if you can't even tell people what his real name is" Response: I don't need to be able to pronounce God's Hebrew name. The gospel is that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures (1 Cor 15:3-4). You: "Fact: if you called jesus, jesus when was with his diciples back then would he have answered you?" Me: Of course not--nobody spoke English back then. Steve |

Hello JMSCOTT, I did not say that God's name was not necessary. Why do you say that? Almost everybody in 1st century Israel knew Jesus' name--even His enemies. Pilate had it put on His cross. And what does the Bible say about believing? "He who believes in the Son has eternal life; but he who does not obey the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him." John 3:36 "They said, 'Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household.'" Acts 16:31 "that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation." Rom 10:9-10 Hebrew is no longer a dead language. If you go to Israel, you'll find many people who speak Hebrew. Vowels are not required to make words pronouncable. The Slavic languages have several words not having vowels. Why is the ability of accurately pronouncing God's Hebrew name so vitally important to you? And why have you never shared with us all the exact pronunciation, if you know it? Steve |

HELLO JMSCOTT, I put forth several comments and several questions. You almost answered one of them. Let's try again. ---------------------------------------- I did not say that God's name was not necessary. Why do you say that? Almost everybody in 1st century Israel knew Jesus' name--even His enemies. Pilate had it put on His cross. And what does the Bible say about believing? "He who believes in the Son has eternal life; but he who does not obey the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him." John 3:36 "They said, 'Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household.'" Acts 16:31 "that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation." Rom 10:9-10 Hebrew is no longer a dead language. If you go to Israel, you'll find many people who speak Hebrew. Vowels are not required to make words pronouncable. The Slavic languages have several words not having vowels. Why is the ability of accurately pronouncing God's Hebrew name so vitally important to you? And why have you never shared with us all the exact pronunciation, if you know it? ------------------------------------ Lastly, how can tell me you love me or call me brother? Your rejection of sound teaching has caused serious doubt. Steve |

1205 | jesus born prior to earth? | Heb 13:8 | srbaegon | 35869 | ||
Hello JMSCOTT, The last time we had a conversation you repeatedly refused to answer simple questions. You do so again. I have God's revelation to man--it's called a Bible. These great and precious promises are all that's needed for life and godliness (2 Pet 1:3-4). You seem to constantly speak of another mystical revelation like Paul's that is required using 1 Cor 2 to back this up. Not so. If the Holy Spirit abides in me (which is a fact for all believers), then He is working these things in me. Steve |

1206 | The second Man is the Lord from heaven? | Heb 13:8 | srbaegon | 69740 | ||
Hello Ray I think you are missing something. Sin is not a natural part of being human. The Lord Jesus took on all that was natural for a human to have. So in this I can agree that He was in this world like Adam was before the fall. Steve |
||||||
1207 | The second Man is the Lord from heaven? | Heb 13:8 | srbaegon | 69765 | ||
Hello Ray I think it's because those that see Christ as man are not making the same capitalization distinctives that you do. It appears that in your thinking the difference between man and "Man" is that the former is sinful and the latter is sinless. I'm sure it's a helpful tool for you, but understand that most don't use that scheme of notation. Steve |

1208 | let him ask of God, who gives to all | James 1:5 | srbaegon | 94501 | ||
Hello gbennett76, No place in Scripture is a revelation given that must be worked out in order to be given to another. Either the plain meaning is given or is shut up so that even the receiver cannot know. By Joseph Smith's own commentary, he has shown himself to be deceived by a lying spirit. Steve |

1209 | How blessed and wonderful are His gifts | James 1:17 | srbaegon | 235044 | ||
How blessed and wonderful, beloved, are the gifts of God! Life in immortality, splendor in righteousness, truth in perfect confidence, faith in assurance, self-control in holiness! And all these fall under the cognizance of our understandings; what then shall those things be which are prepared for such as wait for Him? The Creator and Father of all worlds, the Most Holy, alone knows their amount and their beauty. (1 Clement 35) | ||||||
1210 | The question stands | James 2:10 | srbaegon | 19306 | ||
I agree, except that I would say that the Law was made more precise rather than enhanced. However, you never answered the question. If the Law stands and falls together, why do some Christians subdivide it, and say we need to keep a portion that gets entitled "Moral Law"? Steve |
||||||
1211 | Why keep the Moral Law? | James 2:10 | srbaegon | 19307 | ||
You misunderstand. I did not ask for proof that believers are to live morally. I asked for verses that state we are to keep the "Moral Law". The whole Law is moral. The whole Law has been fulfilled. Why are there some who teach we must keep a part of the Law artificially termed "Moral Law"? I also am bothered by Christians who have the attitude of doing little. Steve |
||||||
1212 | Why keep the Moral Law? | James 2:10 | srbaegon | 19308 | ||
That is an interesting statement. My mind went several directions at once for a response. Why do you celebrate the feast days, dietary restrictions, cleanliness regulations, etc? Or better stated: Why do you continue to fulfill what Christ has already fulfilled? Steve |
||||||
1213 | Why keep the Moral Law? | James 2:10 | srbaegon | 19319 | ||
We agree on much. Maybe the difference I see can be stated like this. I infer from your postings that you see the "moral law" something to be followed in daily life. Correct me if I'm wrong. On the other hand, I see what you and many other believers are calling "moral law" as God's minimum requirement for holiness and righteousness. This has been left behind because it can only go so far. I would say the same for the rest of the Law as well. Christ calls us to do better through His enabling. Perhaps you have read Lewis Sperry Chafer's take on this where he compare the Law (love your neighbor as yourself) with the Lord's command (love one another as I have loved you). The difference is enormous. Steve |

1214 | Joe, who is ya, man? | James 2:10 | srbaegon | 19370 | ||
What a wonderful question. I hope Bill responds. There are multiple compelling reasons to obey God. 1. Because He wants us to -- 1 Pet 1:14 2. Because it's normal -- Phil 2:12-13 3. Others glorify God because we do -- 2 Cor 9:13 4. Because Christ is our example -- Phil 2:5-11 5. Because of shame if we do not -- 2 Thess 3:14 How's that for starters? Steve |
||||||
1215 | Why keep the Moral Law? | James 2:10 | srbaegon | 19407 | ||
If you have followed this now lengthy thread, you will see my stance is that there is no requirement to keep them, which is the basis for Galatians. Steve |
||||||
1216 | Joe, who is ya, man? | James 2:10 | srbaegon | 19408 | ||
Amen. In His earthly ministry the Lord Jesus Christ called all to a life of discipleship and obedience, not intellectualism (John 6, et al). And obedience is the key to increasing our faith (Luke 17:5-10). It's wonderful when brothers in Christ agree? :-) Steve |

1217 | jcsav, what believers are not saved? | James 2:19 | srbaegon | 147150 | ||
Hello jcsav, Not one item given speaks of believers doing these things, yet you attribute them to believers. Why? Steve |
||||||
1218 | Is my situation a sing from God? | James 3:1 | srbaegon | 128734 | ||
You are most welcome. Steve |

1219 | Ridding myself of guilt and fear | James 5:16 | srbaegon | 235295 | ||
Hello happy soul, You write as one who believes that if a person believes, then that one will obey completely in all that the Lord commands. And if that one is disobedient in anything, he or she is not a Christian. If this is correct, then I as a baptized believer on the Lord Jesus Christ these 40-plus years have no hope of heaven. Sin works in my members, and the older I get, the more this fact is evident. Who will save me from this body of death? Steve |
||||||
1220 | Ridding myself of guilt and fear | James 5:16 | srbaegon | 235307 | ||
I think you mistook my words. I did not define obedient faith that way, but assumed you defined it that way because of the language you used. In fact your response solidifies my assumption, because you clearly state a four-fold obligation by a person in order to become and remain Christ's: 1) "We are Christ's when we clothe ourselves with Christ by being buried with Him in baptism and 2) putting to death our old self by no longer 'allowing' sin to rule over us; 3) sacrificing 'self' to Live for Christ; and 4) we continue to be Christ's when we choose to live in the spirit by not continuing willfully to commit acts that are ungodly..." I agree with the first, because it comes straight out of Romans 6, but even there, you have lumped the whole together to make the entire act of salvation one of your works. Or to say it differently, you appear to be saying that the Lord Jesus made a way possible to be saved, but we have to work our very hardest to become and remain saved. What am I missing? Steve |
