Val, I agree. Our part is to proclaim the gospel. God and God alone alone knows whom He has chosen. Hoppy |

Tim, "all men" often means all "kinds" of men. Given the fact that not all men are justified, I am strongly inclined to the latter definition. Hoppy |

Matt 1:21 "She will bear a Son; and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins." my reading of Matt 1:21 leads me to rejoice in the gospel! It glorifies Jesus by declaring that Our Lord's mission from the Father will be be accomplished perfectly... I reject the idea that His mission on Earth was less than 100 percent successful. John 6:63 "It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing; the words that I have spoken to you are spirit and are life. Hoppy Hi Tim, |

125 | Theological Term: Predestination | Eph 1:5 | hopalong | 204721 | ||
Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men. For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God." (Acts 20:26,27 KJV). Dear Searcher, I belive that your objection has some validity to it. However, it seems to me, that a strict rule which forbids discussion of litgitmate doctrines may be likened to "throwing out the baby with the bathwater. Would it not be better to chasten those who are offensive rather than banning great chunks of God's Holy Word? Just a suggestion. Hoppy |

126 | alcohol scripturally wrong? | Eph 5:18 | hopalong | 203763 | ||
Dear Hank, Though we disagree ,I do appreciate your for your thoughts on our topic. I believe that we are in ageement that overindulgence (alcohol, tobacco products etc.) may lead to serious medical problems. I am certain that those who abuse God's gifts will suffer for their rebellious refusal to heed His laws. Alcoholism is NOT a disease, It is abondage to sin. No where in the Bible does God condemn men to Hell for having a physical disease...Gluttony is a sin, are we to ban meat and bread and allow only veggies? My plea is for moderation in all things beit beer, wine,bread, or meat. I pray that I will never relinquish the freedom that Christ gave me as a child of God. Alcohol is not evil...but those who willingly twist God's commands and abuse His statutes will be undone in the end. Hoppy (a some what unfortunate user name for the Topic under discussion(:- ) |

Hi Doc, When I have found intense pain relieved, a weary brain soothed, and calm refreshing sleep obtained by a cigar, I have felt grateful to God and have blessed His name." -Charles Spurgeon Itruly believe that what we are dealing with is not a scriptual isssue but a culturaj problem Hoppy |

128 | how old is this world? | Genesis | hopalong | 203686 | ||
the following is from...gotquestions.org Ultimately, the age of the earth cannot be proven. Whether 6,000 years or 4.6 billion years – both viewpoints (and everything in between) rests on faith and assumptions. Those who hold to 4.6 billion years trust that methods such as radiometric dating are reliable, and that nothing has occurred in history that may have disrupted the normal decay of radio-isotopes. Those who hold to 6,000 years trust that the Bible is true, and that other factors explain the “apparent” age of the earth, such as the global flood, or God creating the universe in a state that “appears” to give it an very long age. As an example, God created Adam and Eve as fully-grown adult human beings. If a doctor were to have examined Adam and Eve on the day of their creation, the doctor would have estimated their age at 20 years (or whatever age they appeared to be) - when, in fact, Adam and Eve were less than one day old. Whatever the case, there is always good reason to trust the Word of God over the words of atheistic scientists with an evolutionary agenda. |

Hi Doc, I worship at a churh that serves bread and wine as the elements of communion. Jesus Himself made water into wine. I think that you went a bit off the mark in using Ephesians 5:18 in your answer...the question was "Is it scripturally wrong to drink alcohol?"...not is it ok to get drunk. Hoppy |

Personally, I enjoy a cold bottle of beer at the end of the day and praise God for His providence. Wine or any other alcholic beverage is an not evil in itself... it is the man who abuses God's gift that does evil! Hoppy |

131 | Was the Holy Spirit present in OT? | 2 Thess 2:6 | hopalong | 203394 | ||
For what does the Scripture say? "And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness." 4Now to the one who works, his wage is not reckoned as a favor, but as what is due. 5But to the one who does not work, but believes in Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is reckoned as righteousness, 6just as David also speaks of the blessing upon the man to whom God reckons righteousness apart from works: 7"Blessed are those whose lawless deeds have been forgiven, and whose sins have been covered. 8"Blessed is the man whose sin the Lord will not take into account" (Rom. 4:3-8). Dear Searcher, Thanks for brining up this question. Jesus taught "John 3:5 Jesus answered, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom of God." Therefore my conclusion is that...Yes, The Holy Sprit was not only present, but active in raising to spiritual life those whom The Father had chosen to be His own. |

There is a story of a little Dutch boy, which embodies very fairly the difference between God and Fate. This little boy’s home was on a dyke in Holland, near a great wind-mill, whose long arms swept so close to the ground as to endanger those who carelessly strayed under them. But he was very fond of playing precisely under this mill. His anxious parents had forbidden him to go near it; and, when his stubborn will did not give way, had sought to frighten him away from it by arousing his imagination to the terror of being struck by the arms and carried up into the air to have life beaten out of him by their ceaseless strokes. One day, heedless of their warning, he strayed again under the dangerous arms, and was soon absorbed in his play there forgetful of everything but his present pleasures. Perhaps, he was half conscious of a breeze springing up; and somewhere in the depth of his soul, he may have been obscurely aware of the danger with which he had been threatened. At any rate, suddenly, as he played, he was violently smitten from behind, and found himself swung all at once, with his head downward, up into the air; and then the blows came, swift and hard! O what a sinking of the heart! O what a horror of great darkness! It had come then! And he was gone! In his terrified writhing, he twisted himself about, and looking up, saw not the immeasureable expanse of the brazen heavens above him, but his father’s face. At once, he realized, with a great revulsion, that he was not caught in the mill, but was only receiving the threatened punishment of his disobedience. He melted into tears, not of pain, but of relief and joy. In that moment, he understood the difference between falling into the grinding power of a machine and into the loving hands of a father. That is the difference between Fate and Predestination. And all the language of men cannot tell the immensity of the difference. Benjamin B. Warfield |

FyRobert, In response to your question, I say that our worship services must be focused solely on the glorification of God. Having said that...I also would point out that it would not be inaproppriate to honor fathers or mothers PRIOR to the commencement Of the service itself. Thanks for asking, what I beleive, is an important question, Hopalong |

Hi Brad, my intention was to point out that Revelation is not to be taken in the literal sense, but, in the sense in which it is was written. That is, in a unique literary style; a stlyle that was quite familiar to the people of of that time in which it was writen. Hopalong |
