141 | Reconciling Rom 8:39 with Heb 10:26 | Rom 8:39 | New Creature | 116459 | ||
Huron Here is a commentary that might help you think through this. However I don't remember the source of this commentary. "there is a definite DIFFERENCE between the "LOVE" of God as mentioned in Rom. 8:38,39 and the "LIFE" of God, according to Scripture! This is easily proven by noting that UNSAVED people are LOVED by God, even though they are devoid of His LIFE! A clear case in point is the rich, young ruler who was certainly UNSAVED, yet LOVED by Jesus (Mk.10:21)! It must be further noted that this same unsaved man, like all unsaved people, are separated from the LIFE of God," (Eph. 4:18) but, again, not separated from His LOVE! Since one only has salvation when he has the LIFE of God, Rom. 8:38,39 does NOT assure an unconditional salvation on the basis of God's infinite love!" |

142 | Quench the Spirit until extinguish? | Gal 5:17 | New Creature | 116306 | ||
1 Thess. 5:19 - Quench not the Spirit - "The Holy Spirit is represented as a fire, because it is his province to enlighten and quicken the soul; and to purge, purify, and refine it. This Spirit is represented as being quenched when any act is done, word spoken, or temper indulged, contrary to its dictates. It is the Spirit of love, and therefore anger, malice, revenge, or any unkind or unholy temper, will quench it so that it will withdraw its influences; and then the heart is left in a state of hardness and darkness. It has been observed that fire may be quenched as well by heaping earth on it as by throwing water on it; and so the love of the world will as effectually grieve and quench the Spirit as any ordinary act of transgression. Every genuine Christian is made a partaker of the Spirit of God; and he who has not the spirit of Christ is none of his. It cannot be the miraculous gifts of the Spirit which the apostle means, for these were given to few, and not always; for even apostles could not work miracles when they pleased; but the direction in the text is general, and refers to a gift of which they were generally partakers." (Adam Clarke's Commentary on this verse) |

143 | What are God's "things?" | Mark 12:17 | New Creature | 116165 | ||
1 Cor. 2:11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. 1 Cor. 2:12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. 1 Cor. 2:13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 1 Cor. 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. Some of the things of God, are the mind of God, discernment, wisdom, knowledge, through God's Spirit, we also become aware of our need of a Savior, and of our lost condition. Our need of salvation, etc. Col. 3:1 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Col. 3:2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. Things above - things heavenly, things eternal that moth or rust cannot corrode, things which fully satisfy the child of God. As in contrast to the things of earth which are temporary and can never fully satisfy |

146 | Did OT saints have Holy Spirit within? | Joel 2:28 | New Creature | 114256 | ||
John According to Scripture the "Spirit of Christ" was in the prophets of old (see especially 1 Pet. 1:11) 1 Pet. 1:10 Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you: 1 Pet. 1:11 Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow. 1 Pet. 1:12 Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into.

147 | Strict Observance of Bible Versions? | 2 Tim 3:16 | New Creature | 113967 | ||
If the Mormons supposedly believe the Bible, then why do they need the Book of Mormon which contradicts the Bible. For instance; in the Book of Mormon, in Mosiah 26 the following words are found in the heading: "Church members in sin who repent and confess to Alma and to the Lord shall be forgiven" (that is an unBiblical teaching) Also why do Mormons need to adhere to the teachings of Joseph Smith? I have no gentle way to say that the religion of Mormonism is a false religion which should be avoided. Look this following unBiblical statement up in the Book of Mormon "Thou fool that shall say; a Bible, we have got a Bible and we need no more Bible." "Wherefore, because that ye have a Bible ye need not suppose that it contains all my words; neither need ye suppose that I have not caused more to be written." (2 Nephi 29:6 and 10) Compare that with what is written in the Bible; Revelation 22:18-19 (King James Bible) For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book Again the Book of Mormon contradicts what God has said in the Bible. These are just a couple of the many contradiction contained in the Book of Mormon May God steer and guide you away from false religions, and give you a loving heart towards your husband.

Read the verses below and let me know if these help you Acts 17:24 God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands; Acts 17:25 Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things; Acts 17:26 And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation; Acts 17:27 That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us: Acts 17:28 For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring. |

150 | There is an unforgivable sin? | Matt 12:31 | New Creature | 113407 | ||
adrianzola; You will find various thoughts about what is meant by the unpardonable sin Sometime ago I found an article by a source that is unknown to me, which I personally believe describes the "unpardonable sin" --------------------------------- The article is as follows; "Now suppose that I see the light from the lamp of God's Word, but refuse to obey it. Let's say that the Holy Spirit has convicted me, and I understand perfectly what He requires of me, but it is unpopular and inconvenient. What happens if I disregard the light and reject the truth which the Spirit has revealed - for any reason whatsoever? The Spirit continues to speak, of course, and for a time there is a battle in my conscience. I feel miserable and guilty. Days pass by, and even months, while I keep on violating my conviction of what is right. Gradually, the conscience begins to adjust to what is being done in the physical body. Slowly the guilt feelings begin to subside and the acts of disobedience appear less and less objectionable. Finally, the truth which seemed so clear and uncomplicated in the beginning turns into a muddle of uncertainty. Rationalizations spring forth to justify disobedience, and the early convictions of sin fade away. Life is almost as comfortable as it was before the light came. What has happened? We have sinned against the Holy Spirit and are sinking into the state of the unpardonable sin. You see, this deadly sin is not any particular act which can be isolated and labeled. It can be any sin which is cherished in the face of light and knowledge. It actually is a condition of seared sensitivity brought on by persistent disobedience to recognized truth. The reaction is similar to ignoring an alarm clock. The conscience becomes more and more tolerant of the pricking reminder of transgression until, finally, it no longer even recognizes the unwelcome sting of conviction. Like the clock it runs down, too, and just as well, because no one is listening any longer. Continual, willful disobedience disqualifies one to be Spirit-filled. This remarkable representative of God is offended when His primary function is denied. His very nature is to make sin appear exceedingly sinful. Sin cannot comfortably remain where the Holy Spirit abides. Either the sin is renounced or the Spirit finally will be rejected and depart. Refusing to walk in the light does not bring an immediate separation from God, but persistent disobedience continues to harden the conscience to the seriousness of sin. That state of darkness developed by repeated violation of known truth is what we refer to as the unpardonable sin." Blessings to you New Creature |

Those who have been saved should follow in Jesus steps and become baptized. Not to become saved, but because they already have been saved. |

152 | verse says no longer bound by old test? | Rom 8:1 | New Creature | 112102 | ||
If the laws of the Old Testament no longer apply to us today, then is it ok to ignore the command to not murder? Is it ok today to ignore the command to not steal? Is it ok in God's eyes to committ adultery? Why do murderers, and theives still get arrested for violating these commands? Were these commands, that have become part of our civil law, only meant for the ungodly, or do they also apply to the godly? New Creature |

Gospel South You asked; "WERE THERE PEOPLE BEFORE ADAM AND EVE?????" According to God's word Adam was the first man. 1 Corinthians 15:45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul. If there were other men before Adam, then God's word would not have stated that Adam was the first man. Blessings New Creature |

160 | Was Jesus a man or a Man? | John 9:37 | New Creature | 110836 | ||
Dear Ray; I was always taught that Jesus was the God-man. He was fully God, and fully man. I think they refer to this as His "hypostatic union" The following comments were obtained from www.carm.org/dictionary/dic_g-h.htm Hypostatic Union This is the union of the two natures (Divine and human) in the person of Jesus. Jesus is God in flesh (John 1:1,14; 10:30-33; 20:28; Phil. 2:5-8; Heb. 1:8). He is fully God and fully man (Col. 2:9); thus, He has two natures: God and man. He is not half God and half man. He is 100 per-cent God and 100 per-cent man. He never lost his divinity.1 He continued to exist as God when He became a man and added human nature to Himself (Phil. 2:5-11). Therefore, there is a "union in one person of a full human nature and a full divine nature."2 Right now in heaven there is a man, Jesus, who is our Mediator between us and God the Father (1 Tim. 2:5). (For related information on Jesus and His two natures, see Incarnation, and the errors concerning His natures known as Eutychianism, Monophycitism, and Nestorianism.) Jesus as God He is worshiped (Matt. 2:2,11; 14:33). He is prayed to (Acts 7:59). He is sinless (1 Pet. 2:22; Heb. 4:15). He knows all things (John 21:17). He gives eternal life (John 10:28). All the fullness of deity dwells in Him (Col. 2:9). Jesus as Man He worshiped the Father (John 17). He prayed to the Father (John 17). He was tempted (Matt. 4:1). He grew in wisdom (Luke 2:52). He died (Rom. 5:8). He has a body of flesh and bones (Luke 24:39). Blessings New Creature |
