122 | What about the Temple, Veil after Jesus | Bible general Archive 1 | Asis | 88266 | ||
Welcome grayds First the Judaizers were believers in Christ who felt that all believers should practice the Jewish traditions in order to really be a believer. Those Jews who did not believe that Jesus was the a Messiah continued to practice Judaism as if nothing had happened and continue to do so today. Jesus did not abolish the Law He fulfilled it. Jesus is the Word of God made flesh. The word of God is the Law. It spoke about Jesus, and He is the fulfillment of everything the Word of God was trying to make us, if we followed it. Judaism is practiced today minus the sacrifices just as it was practiced at the time of Christ. The Jews are an active participant in the work of God for the return of Christ. Did they sew the veil back together? A very good question. I really don't know. My best guess would be that they probably did. I hope this helps you. Asis |

123 | Still an adulteress if I marry again? | Rom 3:22 | Asis | 88208 | ||
Did God make you wait to get forgiveness when you asked Jesus to be Lord of your life? How long did you have to wait, a day, a week, one year, two, are you still waiting. Being forgiven and having consequences for our actions are two different things. I don't know about you but when I believed I became the righteousness of God (Rom. 3:21-22). If my sins were not forgiven how could God say I am His righteousness because I believe. As a matter of fact If He says it, it must be. Ps. 32:5 I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the Lord; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah. [KJV] What does this verse mean? Does "Selah" mean in the future or later? As far as God forgetting my sins consider these scriptures. Jer. 31:34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the Lord; for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more. [KJV] Heb. 8:12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more. [KJV] Heb. 10:17 And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more. [KJV] They seem pretty clear to me. We do have consequences for our actions. A murderer will be forgiven by God but may still be executed by the State. There are always consequences for our actions. Let's consider what Jesus said concerning adultery and an adultress. First the woman caught in adultery. Which are you, Jesus or the men He is talking with? John 8:1-11 Jesus went unto the mount of Olives. [2] And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them. [3] And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst, [4] They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act. [5] Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou? [6] This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not. [7] So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. [8] And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground. [9] And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. [10] When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee? [11] She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more. [KJV] "Is thinking lustfully the same as taking the next step and do as David did? " You say NO. Jesus says: Matthew 5:27-32 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery: [28] But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. [29] And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell. [30] And if thy right hand offend thee, cut if off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell. [31] It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement: [32] But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery. [KJV] Jesus says YES. As far as I know the only unpardonable sin is the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. If in my heart I truly repent of any sin except the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit God forgives me. Who am I NOT to forgive sin that God has forgiven. Matthew 18:21-22 Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? [22] Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven. [KJV] But not You? I don't think so. Forgiveness is a matter of the heart. It is between the one who has sinned and God. He knows the heart of a man not us. As for me, I will follow my Master and do my utmost to live and act as He lived. I cannot say the the writer of the original post is condemned by God is she has repented from a true heart. (Romans 8:1) If this is the condition of her heart then who am I to condemn. |

124 | Whose will causes a believer to sin? | Rev 13:8 | Asis | 88129 | ||
It is a fact that Adam sinned and set us all on a course of iniquity. The question I read is "Can a BELIEVER sin?" A believer as I understand the word is on who is a follower and disciple of the Lord Jesus. The answer to the question about a believer is They only sin because they want to. We are dead to sin. No temptation copme upon us that is beyond that which we can handle. We sin because we choose to | ||||||

Do you think that the scroll of Isaiah Jesus was handed in the synagogue was written in Greek? I find it hard to believe that the Jews who would not associate with the gentile except for business purposes talked in greek as their common speach. But if it is so it is so. Having been brought up with the almost paranoid fear of being assimilated into the culture in which I lived and losing my Jewishness I wonder if it was different then. | ||||||

So the common language of the disciples, Jews in Israel was Greek. Matthew and Mark and John were written in Greek? I can understand that Luke was written in Greek, but are you saying that the Book of Matthew, which is Jesus the culmination of the prophecies of the Old Testament was also written in Greek? Humph. What do you know. |

127 | Still an adulteress if I marry again? | Rom 3:22 | Asis | 87920 | ||
If you repent of your actions and believe God you will be His righteousness (Romans 3:21-22 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; [22] Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ UNTO ALL AND UPON ALL THEM THAT BELIEVE:(emphasis mine) for there is no difference: [KJV]) If we confess our sins He is quick to forgive and forget them. This does not give us free reign to commit sins. If we believe God, we do our utmost to do what He tells us to do. Sin not. John 8:11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more. [KJV] It is a matter of the heart. You cannot hide what you truly think from God. If you have repented of your actions then He knows it. If your just going through the actions He knows this also. If I have stolen does this make me a thief for all eternity. Maybe in the eyes of man, but not in the eyes of God if I believe Him. |

128 | Active Homosexuals: Truly Christian? | Rom 1:21 | Asis | 87915 | ||
Greetings Hank: Do you ever commit sin? Have you ever had a temptation come upon you that you gave in to. Did you eventually have the victory over that particular temptation. Sometimes it takes some time before God has renewed our minds where we can stand on His word and have complete victory over a stronghold in our life. Until we realize who we are in Christ and have the experience of His power we waffle around sin. Did you instantly follow ALL of God's commandments and statutes when you asked Jesus into your heart. What makes us a follower of Christ. If we follow Him then we cannot willfully commit sin. That means intend, plan, commit on purpose a sin, not give in to temptation. It is through experience that we learn that what God has said He means. Faith in Him, trust in Him, we must exercise it to have the victory over our strongholds. The question appears to really be if I commit sin am I a follower of Christ. My answer is it is a matter of the heart. God knows my heart and He knows my intent. He forgives me when I miss the mark and He knows that I have repented never to miss the mark again. (Until I slip the next time) Romans 3:9 What then? are we better than they? . . . Romans 3:20 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin. [KJV] Romans 4:8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin. [KJV] Romans 5:12-13 Romans 5:20-6:2 Romans 6:6-7 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. [7] For he that is dead is freed from sin. [KJV] Romans 6:10-18 For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. [11] Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. [12] Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. [13] Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God. [14] For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace. [15] What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid. [16] Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? [17] But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you. [18] Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness. [KJV] Romans 6:20 Romans 6:22-23 But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. [23] For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. [KJV] Romans 7:7-9 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet. [8] But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead. [9] For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died. [KJV] Romans 7:11 For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me. [KJV] Romans 7:13-14 Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good; that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful. [14] For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin. [KJV] Romans 7:17 Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. [KJV] Romans 7:20 Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. [KJV] Romans 7:23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. [KJV] Romans 7:25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin. [KJV] Romans 8:2-3 Romans 8:10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. [KJV] Romans 14:23 And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin. [KJV] 1 Cor. 6:18 1 Cor. 8:12 1 Cor. 15:34 1 Cor. 15:56 2 Cor. 5:21 Galatians 2:17 Galatians 3:22 Ephes. 4:26 2 Thes. 2:3 1 Tim. 5:20 |

We, ALL need to meditate on these and prazn's verses before we let ur fingers touch the keys. John 13:34 through John 13:35 (NASB) 34“A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you, that you also love one another. 35“By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.” Eph. 4:29 through Eph. 4:32 (NASB) 29Let no unwholesome word proceed from your mouth, but only such a word as is good for edification according to the need of the moment, so that it will give grace to those who hear. 30Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. 31Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. 32Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven you. Luke 6:46 (NASB) 46“Why do you call Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say? |

132 | Why glorify satan? | 1 Cor 10:31 | Asis | 87554 | ||
I ahven't read anyone GLORIFYING satan. The answer to you question is :Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children. [KJV] We must know our enemy. I do agree that our focus must be on our relationship with our Lord. The best way to fight the enemy is by being closer to Jesus. How can the enemy get to me when I am in Christ? |

EdB I receive what you say. I do not want to learn anything except what God has done and is doing in my life. This forum is a place where the truth is to be spread about. I guess I have a problem when I perceive a campaign to discredit an individual or a group of individuals by one sided commentary. It just goes against my grain when someone is accused by inuendo and is not able to confront their accuser. It reminds me of Rush Limbo (misspelling on purpose)when a caller would start to get an idea across to the audience and He would attack the caller personally. Not on the merits of the argument. It must be the fact that I have been the brunt of this kind of persecution. Antisemetism is still rampant and sometimes I see the same tactics being used on others with contrary beliefs. There are things that Baptists believe the are not correct, Catholics, Jews, Methodists, Anglicans and on and on. But we don't berate their leaders we quote scripture and guide them to ask God to reveal His truth. There is a string from two years ago titled "Caution: Hinn, Meyer, etc." it is seen when this string is viewed. Notice that Meyer is included in the title yet there is not one quote from Meyer in the the text. This is the type of thing I call out. Guilt by association is a propaganda tactic. This is NOT what the Forum is about. Watch out I think I'm about to wave the flag. We must be careful of what we say. Babies are listening. God is true to His word. A person with Jesus as Lord of their life, is walking in wealth and life abundantly no matter what the world perceives. I can own nothing yet be rich with all my needs supplied by my Father who owns the cattle on a thousand hills. Praise God. Loving Him and having the faith of God is what is important. May you have the peace, the shalom, of God in your life nothing missing, nothing broken. Jeff |

134 | Our name erased or added to Book of Life | Deut 32:32 | Asis | 87158 | ||
What really matters is that at the day of accounting our name is found in the book. We must tell others of the good news in Jesus so they have a choice. The choice is to NOT sin against God. God is asking the world to believe Him and follow Jesus. When we choose to not follow we sin against God. What is meant by "under grace"? |

You said "Yes I think I know the doctrine well enough to discuss it, but I don't think you want to with me." That is why. Since I can't enumerate the doctrine of Word of Faith I can't say I am a proponent of their doctrine. I am a believer in the word of God. If He says I have life and life more abundantly then I believe Him. I profess the truth in my life and if that means to profess the word of God then that is what I do. His word says I am His righteousness because I believe Him then I am (Rom 3:22). That righteousness came through faith in Jesus Christ. I have that faith. His word says I am a partaker in the divine nature then I am (1 Pet 1:4. I believe that what God says He does (Numbers 23:19). If God says I am healed then I am. I believe we should engage in discourse with love, livng and talking the truth. I do not like propaganda tactics and will call anyone out when they use them. The truth needs no defending it needs telling. Religion is a tool of the enemy to keep the truth from us. I am a member of Brighton Assembly of God. I agree with their doctine in so far as it is not hamstrung with religion (i.e. baptism in the Holy Spirit with the only evidence speaking in tongues). I look forward to being sharpened by interacting with you EdB. Romans 3:4 Asis |

I will not engage in your games. Use all of a scripture when you quote it. with inclination of mind and eagerness, SEARCHING AND EXAMINING THE SCRIPTURES DAILY TO SEE IF THESE THINGS WERE SO. (Emphasis mine AMPLIFIED Acts 17:11 ) Use a whole sentence when you quote me. "They didn't believe Paul but when the word was there they believed" versus "Asis writes: "We must be like the Bereans.

137 | Heresy Hunting or Biblical Mandate? | Matt 24:11 | Asis | 87039 | ||
When our faith is in teachers instead of THE TEACHER then we have trouble. We are diciples of Jesus not teachers or preachers. I am pleased to hear that you are binding up the broken hearted. I know that when religion gets taught people get hurt. I agree that our faith is to be in God and not in Faith. God cries out to us to believe. He does it with every sunrise and sunset. The stars in the sky shout down to us HE IS REAL. We should answer the lies with the truth. God will do the rest. Why do you feel that I would not want to discuss doctrine with you. You have already taught me that Paul named names. God reveals to His people the mysteries that are contained within His word. He did not make it so complicated that only a few can understand it and the rest must rely on them to understand it. God made His word simple. We make it complicated. Fill yourself with His word and He will renew your mind. Believe what He has said and His truth will set you free. 1 John 5:4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.

No. You come to my house because you have heard about what is happening there and you want to partake. You have chosen to come all by yourself. Just because I know your coming does not nulify your free choice to come. This is the answer to what you wrote "Does God's already knowing our choice mean we haven't freely chosen?" In my analogy I already know the choice you have made yet YOU still made the choice of your own free will. SEE? The other is about election and chosen. Which is used in connection with predestination. Ask yourself this "Would God go through all this if it was already set what would happen. I mean in the individual sense. |

I am not saying that we are not to teach the truth or to allow error to go unchallenged. Paul used the truth to diswade the lies. I cannot recall where He names names. "Judeizer Shlomo is spreading a false gospel." He encouraged the believers to rely on the teaching they had received and the Holy Spirit would guide them. Instruct them in all truth, is what Jesus said. The context of some of the scriptures used in the last paragraph of the web site are about the qualifications of a bishop. I guess I'm just getting tired of all this word of faith bashing. Jesus said there would be wolves in sheeps clothing among us. That by their fruit we will be able to tell who is a wolf and who is a sheep. Look at the fruit. The article says "However, we are committed to exposing those who would compromise the essential doctrines of the historic Christian faith." If we followed that would we all be catholic? Don't you think that Luther put up with the same attacks. Called a Heretic. We get so entenched in religion that when we are presented with the truth we call it Heresy. Don't get me wrong. There is no one who has it all down pat. Even I have said some things about the meaning of scripture that I repented and corrected. We must be like the Bereans. They didn't believe Paul but when the word was there they believed. They didn't act like the Pharasees and ther Jews who didn't believe and run around the town stirring up everyone to kick Paul out of town. If we are to have a study on doctrine then let's study it. Word of Faith believes this A, B, C,. . . One person I know said they only know about Word of Faith by what they have read on the forum. That means they know nothing about the doctrines of someone who subscribes to Word of Faith. What does Word of Faith mean to you. What is the Word of Faith doctrine. In your service ASIS |
