122 | How important is self esteem? | Ezek 16:44 | Pastor Glenn | 89709 | ||
mommapbs, As a pastor I am very concerned with the un-repentent one. You said: "...I recognize my rebellion and repent in Godly sorrow (not to be confused with "low self esteem"!)and reflect upon who God says I am! This changes the way I think, and frees me from "performance" oriented living. It also gives me an understanding and compassion for others who are still in the grip of rebellion and "idolatry"! " How do we keep from giving the wrong impression to the lost; that Christ will accept them without their repenting? Keep in mind that the Jews of Ezekiel 16 were stuck in pride also: 56For your sister Sodom was not a byword in your mouth in the days of your pride, 57before your wickedness was uncovered. It was like the time of the reproach of the daughters of Syria[3] and all those around her, and of the daughters of the Philistines, who despise you everywhere. 58You have paid for your lewdness and your abominations," says the LORD. 59For thus says the Lord GOD: "I will deal with you as you have done, who despised the oath by breaking the covenant.

EdB, I agree with all of your comments, Especially: "However most Democracies give into dictatorships when social morals drop so low that crime and anarchy reign. The framers of our constitution realized this and most commented that the democracy of the US hinged on the Christian ethics and morals, if they disappear the democracy will collapse. " As our courts and political leaders attempt to become more secular, there is deminishing respect for the constitution, for police, for parents, and for other authorities and citizens. We have got to recognize God of the bible as the ultimate authority or we are left with no basis for deciding the difference between right and wrong. Our children will begin to ask: "who gave parents and teachers the right to tell me what to do?" and we will not be able to provide a satisfactory answer. As for King Nebuchadnezzar, God taught him a 7 year lesson that gave him respect for the untimate authority: 31While the word was still in the king's mouth, a voice fell from heaven: "King Nebuchadnezzar, to you it is spoken: the kingdom has departed from you! 32And they shall drive you from men, and your dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field. They shall make you eat grass like oxen; and seven times shall pass over you, until you know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomever He chooses." 33That very hour the word was fulfilled concerning Nebuchadnezzar; he was driven from men and ate grass like oxen; his body was wet with the dew of heaven till his hair had grown like eagles' feathers and his nails like birds' claws. Nebuchadnezzar Praises God 34 And at the end of the time[2] I, Nebuchadnezzar, lifted my eyes to heaven, and my understanding returned to me; and I blessed the Most High and praised and honored Him who lives forever: For His dominion is an everlasting dominion, And His kingdom is from generation to generation. 35All the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing; He does according to His will in the army of heaven And among the inhabitants of the earth. No one can restrain His hand Or say to Him, "What have You done?" 36At the same time my reason returned to me, and for the glory of my kingdom, my honor and splendor returned to me. My counselors and nobles resorted to me, I was restored to my kingdom, and excellent majesty was added to me. 37Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and extol and honor the King of heaven, all of whose works are truth, and His ways justice. And those who walk in pride He is able to put down. |

You said: "Frankly, I'll take 2003 sinners over 1953's Pharisees any day. My sense is Jesus would too. " Jesus may take "repenting" sinners. Many are very comfortable to stay in their sins. Here are key scriptures concerning repentance: Jeremiah 18:8 if that nation against whom I have spoken turns from its evil, I will relent of the disaster that I thought to bring upon it. 2 Chronicles 7:14 if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land. Ezekiel 18 30"Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways," says the Lord GOD. "Repent, and turn from all your transgressions, so that iniquity will not be your ruin. 31Cast away from you all the transgressions which you have committed, and get yourselves a new heart and a new spirit. For why should you die, O house of Israel? 32For I have no pleasure in the death of one who dies," says the Lord GOD. "Therefore turn and live!" Psalm 9:17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, And all the nations that forget God. Pastor Glenn |

Piper, You asked: " Is repentence the 3rd or 4th thing you have to do to be saved. Does it come before or after baptism? " Repentance is the first thing you have to do to be saved and so comes before baptism: Mark 1:4 John came baptizing in the wilderness and preaching a baptism of repentance for the remission of sins. Luke 3:3 And he went into all the region around the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the remission of sins, Luke 24:47 and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. Acts 2:38 Then Peter said to them, "Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

Piper, You asked: "Am I missing anything?" It is not easy to put God's plan of Salvation into a lengthy step by step list. Here are more key scriptures. Godly Sorrow: 2 Corinthians 7 8For even if I made you sorry with my letter, I do not regret it; though I did regret it. For I perceive that the same epistle made you sorry, though only for a while. 9Now I rejoice, not that you were made sorry, but that your sorrow led to repentance. For you were made sorry in a godly manner, that you might suffer loss from us in nothing. 10For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, not to be regretted; but the sorrow of the world produces death. 11For observe this very thing, that you sorrowed in a godly manner: What diligence it produced in you, what clearing of yourselves, what indignation, what fear, what vehement desire, what zeal, what vindication! In all things you proved yourselves to be clear in this matter. Faith comes by hearing: Romans 10 8But what does it say? "The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart"[5] (that is, the word of faith which we preach): 9that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11For the Scripture says, "Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame."[6] 12For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. 13For "whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved."[7] 14 How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? 15And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: "How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace,[8] Who bring glad tidings of good things!"[9] 16But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, "LORD, who has believed our report?"[10] 17So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Pastor Glenn |

128 | How is Adam "Ancient of Days"? | Dan 7:9 | Pastor Glenn | 93824 | ||
gbennett76, You should post your source of information. My source is the bible: Psalm 24 1 The earth is the LORD's, and all its fullness, The world and those who dwell therein. God does not need a fallen man to hand over anything to Him. It is already His. "God's plan demanded that Adam eat that fruit. That is why He prepared a Saviour "before the foundation of the world" (1 Peter 1:20). Adam did what God intended, and will be blessed for it." If I could see the future and see that my son will fall out of my boat, I would be sure to prepare a life line to pull him in. But just because I prepared for the worst, boes not at all imply that I planned the worst. "Ever since the Arian controversy died down, the major creeds have said that God the Father and Jesus Christ are the same person. So if the Ancient of Days is the Father, then the major creeds are wrong. Thus they have only a shallow understanding of the nature of the Father and the Son, and thus their interpretation of unusual passages like this is so flawed as to be worthless. " This is a straw man argument. The creeds say that God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Sirit are not the same person. The are one God, but are eternally distinct. "Then God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness;..." (Gen 1:26a) indicates more than one person, while also only one God. Rev 4 9Whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to Him who sits on the throne, who lives forever and ever, 10the twenty-four elders fall down before Him who sits on the throne and worship Him who lives forever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying: 11"You are worthy, O Lord,[7] To receive glory and honor and power; For You created all things, And by Your will they exist[8] and were created." Rev 20 11 Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. And there was found no place for them. 12And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books. |

129 | Why did Jesus call himself son of man? | Dan 7:13 | Pastor Glenn | 87794 | ||
Emmaus and Truthfinder, Continuing on Emmaus' point, I wanted to point out that Mark 14 also is an excellent reference to Christ's deity as the "Son of Man" as they saw grounds for the death penalty: Mark 14 61But He kept silent and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked Him, saying to Him, "Are You the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?" 62Jesus said, "I am. And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Power, and coming with the clouds of heaven." 63Then the high priest tore his clothes and said, "What further need do we have of witnesses? 64You have heard the blasphemy! What do you think?" And they all condemned Him to be deserving of death. The high priest clearly saw the connection and implication of what Jesus referenced to Daniel 7. Being simply "a god", as Truthfinder suggests, would not have qualified as blaspheme and for death. Pastor Glenn |

130 | What was Jesus doing in the earth 3 days | Matthew | Pastor Glenn | 93618 | ||
Truthfinder, You referenced: “it is natural that death should sometimes be represented as the disappearance of this nephesh (Gen. 35:18; I Kings 17:21; Jer. 15:9; Jonah 4:3). The ‘departure’ of the nephesh must be viewed as a figure of speech, for it does not continue to exist independently of the body, but dies with it (Num. 31:19; Judg. 16:30; Ezek. 13:19). No biblical text authorizes the statement that the ‘soul’ is separated from the body at the moment of death.”—The Interpreter’s Dictionary of the Bible, edited by G. Buttrick, 1962, Vol. 1, p. 802. But, your reference should have started with these scriptures: Matthew 22:32 "I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'?[22:32 Exodus 3:6, 15] God is not the God of the dead, but of the living." Mark 12 26But concerning the dead, that they rise, have you not read in the book of Moses, in the burning bush passage, how God spoke to him, saying, "I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'?[Exodus 3:6, 15] 27He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living. You are therefore greatly mistaken." Heb 11 4 By faith Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, through which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts; and through it he being dead still speaks. Luke 8:55 Then her spirit returned, and she arose immediately. And He commanded that she be given something to eat. Psalm 146:4 His spirit departs, he returns to his earth; In that very day his plans perish. Ecclesiastes 12:7 Then the dust will return to the earth as it was, And the spirit will return to God who gave it. As for Jesus Christ: John 8:58 "I tell you the truth," Jesus answered, "before Abraham was born, I am!" John 10 17The reason my Father loves me is that I lay down my life--only to take it up again. 18No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This command I received from my Father." Truthfinder, I am sure that you do not deny that Jesus existed before His incarnation. So, why would His spirit cease to exist after His physical death? |

132 | What was Jesus doing in the earth 3 days | Matthew | Pastor Glenn | 93697 | ||
Truthfinder, Sorry, but I got that impression from the body of your post as it speaks of "...the nephesh ... for it does not continue to exist independently of the body, but dies with it...". Since these kinds of references were used to support your conclusion that Jesus did nothing for three days, I figured that you were implying that Jesus ceased to exist for three days. Pastor Glenn |

133 | Was Martin Luther King Jr. wrong? | Matt 5:13 | Pastor Glenn | 109803 | ||
Jesus whipped the money changers out of the temple twice. He called the religious leaders hypocrites. Was that similar to a peaceful demonstation march? A few year ago Rosa Parks and many others by law could not sit in the front of the bus. Blacks were cheated out of their lawful right to vote. Blacks were lynched and intimidated by the KKK and Nazis. I would not be surprised to find out that some of those under KKK hoods were regular church members. MLK came out asking "why white ministers were silent?" He pointed out to the conscience of America that closing their eyes to the problem of racism was not the answer. I felt glad when I learned that he had published many books even until his last year in 1967. But, I felt very frustrated when I found out that those books are out of print. Our schools have failed to create history studies from his books. Satan has long since moved on from racism to drug addiction, broken marriages, adultery, child molestation, and homosexuality in the churches. MLK was first and foremost a Gospel preacher. His message was based on Satan’s evil ways of his day. He would have spoken out against the prevailing evil of the day. So should we. The Gospel without the repentance message is useless. And no souls will be pointed to Christ until people hear a reason to repent. Pastor Glenn |

Thank you Hank, Your answer concerning condemning sin brings to mind John 3: "17For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. 18"He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. 21But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God." Also: Matthew 10:22 And you will be hated by all for My name's sake. But he who endures to the end will be saved. God bless, Pastor Glenn |

Hello Justme, "... You may not know that the Garden of Eden was located in Independance, Missouri, at least accroding to the RLDS, and the LDS churches. ..." Well, I just want to know what Apostle Thomas would say about that. You know, he may be the one that started the Missouri state motto: "show me". Another thing, how does the LDS churches explain how the Euphrates river got sent to Iraq? Your brother in Christ, Pastor Glenn |

"afraid of these rivers"... you fraid..tes river Eu fraid..tes river Euphrates river ;-) I think I get it EdB. Well anyway, it was clever for whoever put up the "Missouri river" sign for the other river. However, the LDS churches should be made to pay any ransom demanded for the Euphrates since it was taken while they were supposed to be watching. The Euphrates must be returned to near the Garden of Eden where it belongs (Gen 2:14). Pastor Glenn |
