122 | Does Bible give evidence of the trinity? | Matt 28:19 | TheCurtMan | 85668 | ||
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth-Gen.1:1. This is where everything started. God the Father was the speaker of the Word, He said "Let there be light", and there was light. God the Spirit was hovering over the waters. According to John 1:1-2 In the begining was the Word, and the Word was WITH God, and the Word WAS God. He was in the beginning WITH God. This is of course Jesus, the Word of God. This is also the same beginning that is recorded in Gen. Now you have God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. Now take a look at Isa. 44:6-7. "Thus says the Lord, the King of Israel, and his Redeemer, the Lord of hosts: I am the First and I am the Last; Besides Me THERE IS NO GOD'. "THERE IS NO GOD BESIDES ME", v.5 chp.45. Back in Gen.1:26, God said, "Let US make man in our image..." Who was He talking to?? The Key to understanding the Trinity doesn't come from simple Bible reading, it comes through faith and BIBLE STUDYING. God has many different attributes, many different names, for example, the word/name God in Gen.1:1 was translated from the word/name Elohim, which among other things indicate a plurality in unity. Meditate on that one for awhile. To know what meaning is applied, is to understand the context the word/name is used in, and to understand the usage of that word/name in that culture during that time. The bible STRONGLY supports the doctrine of the trinity but only if it's understood and read in it's proper context. Don't just read your bible, STUDY your bible. Just out of curiosity, and to make sure that we're on the same page, what's your difinition of the trinity?? The CurtMan |

123 | The Center of Truth | Mark 10:27 | TheCurtMan | 115995 | ||
This is a little something that was shared with me. I found it rather interesting. I thought that I’d share it with the forum. Was wondering if anyone had any comments on it. The chapter in the center of the Bible is Psalms 118. There are 594 chapters before Psalms 118 There are 594 chapters after Psalms 118 594 multiplied by 2 is 1188 What is the center verse in the Bible? Psalms 118:8 Does this verse say anything significant about God’s Perfect Will in our lives?? Read it and see. Now isn’t that odd how this all works out?? Or is/was God in the center of it?? Comments anyone?? The CurtMan |

124 | The Center of Truth | Mark 10:27 | TheCurtMan | 116216 | ||
No Hank, I'm not suggesting any hidden meanings. I found it interesting the way the numbers looked and added up. I also found it interesting because one of my favorite verses is Prov. 3:5-7. Casual Interest is a good way of putting it, basically, that's all there is. However; the verse in Psalms will go hand in hand with the one from Prov. It's the verse I normally use when I encounter someone who is seeking God's will in their life. |

126 | From what are we ransomed? | Mark 10:45 | TheCurtMan | 115613 | ||
So just how far off base would you say that I am if I told you we were ransomed from death?? "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" Romans 6:23. "Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me" Psalms 51:5. And of course, "For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God" Romans 3:23. By right, I should be hellbound, but my Lord and Savior loved me so much that He laid down His life so I could be with Him in eternaty. I just saw that movie The Passion. Because of it, I now have a stronger desire to "Love thy enemies". Jesus went through all that suffering partly on my behalf, almost two thousand years before I was born. Had it not been for that suffering, I would be eternally lost. What is holding us hostage? Personal Desire. According to Gal. 5:16-17, without the Spirit of God, we would not have the desire to "Walk in the Spirit", but fulfil the "lust of the flesh". And according to Romans 8:5-8, those who are after the flesh, can not please God. I believe Personal Desire is holding us hostage to death, and that Jesus made a "way of escape" by giving His life as a ransom. The CurtMan |

127 | Born into the Kingdom of God? | Luke 16:18 | TheCurtMan | 92320 | ||
How about a different figure of speech?? You say Born into the Kingdom, and it's no telling what you might get. You say Born again, then just about everyone is on the same page. Heaven is a prepared place for a prepared people, like you said. Who are those prepared people? Try reading the 3rd chp. of John. the first 18 verses. Personally I believe it to be self explainitory, if not post your questions, and you will get an answer. The CurtMan |

128 | Born into the Kingdom of God? | Luke 16:18 | TheCurtMan | 92332 | ||
Correct me if I'm wrong on this thing, but I thought that your original question, "Where does it say that we are born into the kingdom of God" was based on your perspective that "Heaven is a prepared place for a prepared people". Now, to my knowledge, I'm not aware of anyplace in the bible that says, one must be born into the Kingdom of God. However; you change your wording, and the implications are clear. Which is something we both can agree on, it can be found in the 3rd chp. of John. I'm not debating your perspective on this issue, I'm just clarifying why I answered the question the way that I did. Sometimes we know what we mean, we know what we want to say, we just choose the wrong set of words to get our point across. Saying exactly what you mean is highly important to some people, I'm not one of them. All I need is an idea of what you mean, and from there we can work out exactly what you mean. See what I mean?

Oh, sorry I've gotten into the ice-cream without knowing what flavor it is. In other words, I'm sorry I've intervened in someone else's conversation. I've made the same mistake you did on a couple of occasions. Did you ever get around to asking Fran1946 to elaborate on being born into the Kingdom of God?? | ||||||
130 | unrighteous shall not inhert the kingdom | Luke 16:18 | TheCurtMan | 92373 | ||
Fran1946, Will you please elaborate for me what you mean when you say that one is born into the Kindom of God. Shall I take this statement at face value, that a person can literally be born into Heaven, or were you implying something else. The CurtMan |

132 | Born into the Kingdom of God? | Luke 16:18 | TheCurtMan | 92410 | ||
I appreciate that, Curtman and consider it an opportunity to enlarge our discussion to get at the real issues of why Jesus Christ came to earth...other than 'just get people saved' Ken, I've been thinking about this one all night long, I'm wondering if you wouldn't mind telling me the REAL ISSUE of why Jesus came to earth...other than just get people saved. The CurtMan |

133 | Born into the Kingdom of God? | Luke 16:18 | TheCurtMan | 92466 | ||
Note: "Ken, I've been thinking about this one all night long, I'm wondering if you wouldn't mind telling me the REAL ISSUE of why Jesus came to earth...other than just get people saved". I don't mean to be argumentative, or anything, but I was somewhat under the impression that there was another reason why Jesus came to earth other than to just get people saved. In light of everything that you just said, isn't all that a result of salvation? I mean upon making my profession, doesn't at some point the Holy Spirit move into my life and as a result, Eph. 4:22-24 comes into play. The Old man is done away with and I am now concerned with the New Man, the things of God? I'm thinking that all this is a RESULT of Salvation. Is there a Real Issue of why Jesus came to earth, other then to save people, or did I miss your point somewhere?? Also, what if I have a little trouble putting away the old man in his entirety, what if there were a few habits that were harder to get rid of than others, and I was still struggling with them. Does that mean that I'm not Born Again.?? Does it mean that I'm, how you say, Juggling myself?? Didn't God promise to finish the good work that He started in me?? And one other thing, could you elaborate on what you ment when you said Jesus, the man, had to prove himself?? |

135 | Born into the Kingdom of God? | Luke 16:18 | TheCurtMan | 92536 | ||
Ken, Sorry about 'the old man being done away with' bit, a bad choice of words to get my point across. To be honest with you my brother, you're over my head like a 747 bound for the Promise Land. I'm still back a square one wondering if Jesus had a secondary primary reason for caming to earth other than to save people. I've listened to what you've said, and for the most part, everything you've elaborated on takes place as a result of salvation, it takes place after the person is saved. I've searched this thing out for years and am now able to see the conclusion to the matter. i.e., Once we are born again... The perfect example, the conclusion to the matter takes place after salvation. Thus far you're leaving me to draw the conclusion that there is secondary primary reason why Jesus came to earth other to save people, and this reason takes place after salvation. So inorder to find out what this reason is we must first become saved, which is why Jesus came here in the first place. Ken, I really need you to tell me I'm wrong on this thing. The CurtMan |

136 | Born into the Kingdom of God? | Luke 16:18 | TheCurtMan | 92727 | ||
I believe that the salvation that was provided by Jesus is made available to EVERYONE. Past, Present, Future, Believer, Non-believer. I believe that salvation is conditional, it will be excepted by some and rejected by others. But salvation is made available to everyone. | ||||||
137 | Born into the Kingdom of God? | Luke 16:18 | TheCurtMan | 92728 | ||
Good question. I don't think it'll be fair for me to answer this one of the top of my head. So give me a minute to get back with you, OK? | ||||||
138 | Born into the Kingdom of God? | Luke 16:18 | TheCurtMan | 92830 | ||
Sometimes these two words are interchangeable in scripture but, in your estimation, is there a difference between being 'saved' and being 'redeemed'? A second question I might ask is what relationship does being "born again" have to do with both/either these words? Can either stand independent of the experience of the INDWELLING? If not, why not? OK, I wanted to take a second look at what I believe, to ensure that I wasn’t too far off base scripturally. I know I’ll probably be crucified for what I believe, but then so was Jesus. In my estimation, being SAVED, and being REDEEMED is generally one in the same. I was purchased with the blood of the Lamb. The debt that I owe God wasn’t just cancelled, but PAID-N-FULL. I have escaped the eternal damnation that I truly deserve, For the wages of sin is death, and For ALL have sinned and come short of the glory of God. I deserve death, but it ain’t happening here. Now I believe that being BORN AGAIN entails the principles of Eph. 4:22-24. That ye put off, concerning the former conversation, the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lust 23 And be RENEWED IN THE SPIRIT OF YOUR MIND 24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. That is, being born again entails a totally different perspective FORM doing things the world’s way TO doing things God’s way. If you haven’t noticed, there is a VERY BIG DIFFERENCE. Can either stand independent of the experience of the indwelling. If I understand your question correctly, you’re asking if these things can happen without the Holy Ghost, not even close. It is the Holy Spirit that points me in the right direction, even before I know I want to go that way. It is through the Spirit that gives me the choice to either accept or reject Christ. Without the Spirit, I probably wouldn’t even care about doing things God’s way. Take a look at Eph. 4:23, what do that mean to you in reference to your question. So what do you think?? The CurtMan |

Without the Spirit, I probably wouldn’t even care about doing things God’s way. Take a look at Eph. 4:23, what do that mean to you in reference to your question I’ve made a mistake. I was looking at the ‘experience of the indwelling’. Allow me to try this one again. Can either stand independent of the ‘experience of the indwelling’. Yes I think that is possible. The Holy Spirit has a ministry where He points the unbeliever in the direction of Christ. I believe it is possible for the unbeliever to share some of the benefits of the Holy Spirit without being filled with the Holy Spirit. What I’m trying to say is , as an unbeliever, the Holy Spirit is working WITH me, but not living IN me. I can not explain that any clearer than that. Sorry about the mistake The CurtMan |

140 | Born into the Kingdom of God? | Luke 16:18 | TheCurtMan | 92949 | ||
Do you think that maybe you could explain simply and clearly the difference between being saved, and being redeemed?? And explain it to me as if I was a seven yr. old. I looked at Luke 17:17. What I see is ten men who was cleansed of a physical affliction. Out of that ten, one was cleansed spiritually. The other nine probably had places to go; people to see; and things to do. Glorifing God just was not on their agenda at that time. |
