141 | Minor Prophets | OT general | lionheart | 207666 | ||
Searcher, Good day brother. Your opening statement brings back memories. I had this professor for OT survey my freshman year of college who when one of my classmates made the comment regarding minor prophets and I remember his reply to this day. Son none of em are minor. In Him, lionheart |

142 | I just started reading the Bible and.... | OT general | lionheart | 211319 | ||
Pete, First of all let me encourage you with this, no one get's swept under the carpet here. I've been a disciple of Jesus Christ for going on fifteen years now and I've lost count of how many times I've been through the bible, but I learn something every time. And there are still things I don't completely understand. I'll be learning till the day our Lord calls me home. Now with all this in mind my next point. Hank's reply to you was solid and firmly grounded in scripture. His reference to Prov 3:5,6 was right on and I'll add Prov 14:12 to the mix. All wisdom or knowledge we may possess is inconsequential without a foundation in God's Word. 2 Timothy 2:15 3:16,17, 2 Peter 1:19-21 1 Tim 4:16 to name just a few is where all of us should be when it comes to our thinking and learning. We're not gonna figure it out on our own. Your reference to Dt 13:10, read it in reference and context to the whole chapter. Do a word study on the word kill and it's various meanings and usages, it'll tell you allot. Wisdom and knowledge in light of God's Word and council is a powerfull thing but without it well??? Pete keep swinging. I'm not a scholar by any sense of the word. I'm one the guys in the trenches evertday getting his hands dirty and the world being what it is they at times get bloody too. We need all the tools we can lay our hands on and they right there at our finger tips, In Him, lionheart |

ngkh,Good day and God bless.I'm relateable to what your saying here. If this is helping you to keep the Word of God embeded in your heart and mind all well and good,Keep on keeping on.But let me encourage you to get your face in the bible every day.We are more apt to retain things when we can see it with our own eyes and take the time we actually need to get it into our hearts.I say this only because I myself have always had to work twice as hard to get things in my head,so I'm grateful for anything that will help me to do that.But I've found over the years that there is no substitute for having the bible right there in front of you.I understand this may be challenging,sometimes I gotta go over things numerous times before I get it,but it always pays off.The time will come when memorizing things will not be the beast that it seems to be.Besides memorization isn't always remembering something verbatum,but it is about having Gods Word embeded in our hearts and minds.Check out 2 Timothy 2:15 and Psalms 119:11 I think these will help. In Christ, lionheart |

NewCovenant7777,be careful when you say faith and belief are not synonymous. Depending on the greek usage they very well can be.The greek word pistis is used on several occasions for the words believe,belief,faith, usage and context become very important in cases like this. In Christ, lionheart |

Faith,belief in the biblical sense have nothing to do with mental assent and everything to do with repentance and the actions reflective of an actual faith in God. Good hearing from you. lionheart |

149 | Forgive but don't forget | NT general Archive 1 | lionheart | 149559 | ||
Hey Doc, Goodevening my brother.This is one of those things that make us go hmmm!! Many are under the misconception that to forgive is to forget.If thats the case then I and many others are in big trouble.If one still has a bitter heart then that individual hasnt forgiven. To forgive doesnt necessarily mean that we forget.But it does mean we can move on and walk the lives God call us to. It means also that we get to experience Gods forgiveness in our own lives. Gods grace to you, lionheart |

Well said bro, Baptism is and has been one of the most debated subjects in the christian comunity.I dont know if I've heard the case for baptism stated that well in quite awhile.People at times get the idea that the case for baptism takes the focus off of Jesus, If anything it puts the focus right on Jesus Christ and what he did. Jesus deals with baptism in Mark16:16 for starters and Paul puts some very focused enphasis on it throughout the epistles.I think your statement adds a lot more clarity regarding baptism and it's relationship to our salvation. Thanx bro, lionheart |

Gods Word is very clear about this subject.If I can assist in any way please let me know. I will kep you in my prayers. In Christ, lionheart |

Coty, Greetings,I wonder why people get so defensive or combative where baptism is concerned. If we would apply 2 Timothy 2:15 and 2 Peter 1:20,21 then things like this become a lot clearer. Paul states the whole case for baptism in Romans 6 and through out the rest of his epistles. Peter makes some very clear statements regarding baptism also. If we apply proper biblestudy principles then things become cystal clear. The one thing we gotta ask ourselves is are we willing to set aside our sentimentalities and preconcieved ideas and let Gods Word speak. In Christ, lionheart |

wormwood, Take into consideration the time frame here,then go back through the Gospels and search out Jesus teaching about baptism. The baptism being practiced at this time was Johns baptism.Now go to Pentecost after Jesus had reserected and returned to the Father. Note Acts chapter two and Peter's initial sermon.Here the frame work regarding salvation is laid. Attn to vs38. We now have a new covenant in place. We dont have a contradiction in Luke 23:42 we are just in a different administration. Look at Matt 28:18-20 Jesus tells the apostles that all authority had been given to him. Going back to Lk 23:42, Jesus had the authority to make the promise he did.Just remember that after pentecost we are in a new administration (new covenant). In Christ, lionheart |

Mark, Bless you brother.Sometimes I think when we refer to works it's almost like we are saying one of those nasty four letter words. It has alway been the tenet of our faith that we are saved by grace through faith (Eph 2:8,9). It's impossible to argue the point,the bible is quite clear regarding salvation.James chapter 2 does a quite credible job on the subject of faith and works.In closing I will make this statement- What we do (works If one so chooses to call them)evidences what we have or in more instances than I care to addmitt myself what we may lack. I heard a learned man of God say a number of years ago that if we were put on trial for our faith would there be enough evidence to convict. In Christ, lionheart |

155 | Why do we make it so complicated? | NT general Archive 1 | lionheart | 164502 | ||
New Creature, Good question. We can speculate and come up with any number scenarios,and we can do this til the crows fly home. Dont we think for one second that if God is calling someone that he's not going to allow that person to get there.2 Timothy 3:16,17 2 Peter 1:20,21. God is the author not me,He gave us the Bible exactly the way He intended for us to have it. I think He covered all the bases. With that in mind I doubt anything our limited minds can think up will stop God in accomplishing his purpose for anyone. Ephesians 3:20 If one makes a concious decision to follow Christ dont think for one minute that God wont get you there. I look back to my own salvation and I see any number of things that could have taken me out and would have taken me out and I could have done nothing about it,God didn't just take me to the thresh hold he brought me all the way in.If he got me there I think he will do no less for anyone else. None of us knows what tomorrow holds for us,that's one of the many reason to trust in God and his providence in our lives. God has laid it all out for us,we have it right at our fingertips in black and white. Ephesians 2:8,9 2 Timothy 2:15 We can never go wrong in giving God's Word the attention and presidence it deserves. In Christ, lionheart |

Coty, Greetings and Gods best to you. Even as disciples of Jesus Christ we get it wrong. We are not immune to sentimentality and things that we may or may not have learned in the past.The question arises is how do these things stand the test of Gods Word,what do they look like in view of light of Gods Word? Things will often look much different when exposed to the light of Gods Word. Are we willing to let Gods Word speak (2Peter 1:20,21)for itself? Are we willing to be 2Timothy 2:15 disciples of Jesus Christ? Are we willing to do the work? Phil 2:12 Paul instructs us to work out our salvation. God has given us the tools we need to do so.They are not much good if we dont use them. We I do believe can be resolved and united on the vast majority of things that we chop each other up about. Romans chapter 14 is solid scripture because we do and will encounter things that are disputable,but when biblical principle is applied in a godly manner much of what we find as disputable is'nt so disputable after all. In Christ, lionheart |

Jayell, Thanx for the timely response. Absolutely,but why is it that some people persist in throwing baptism out of the picture? Jesus,Peter,Paul and others devoted much enfesice and time to the subject,Why do we keep trying to cut it out of the picture? Now some may think,oh he teaches baptismal regeneration. The bible doesnt teach that. But yet baptism is part of the picture, Jesus and the Apostels taught it. We get ourselves in trouble because dont use sound biblestudy principles. When we use sound biblical study principle then things are much clearer and we avoid much needless arguement. In Christ, lionheart |

Jayell, Sorry if I infered that you were,please forgive if it seemed that way. But a lot of people do and before that happens with anything we gotta be sure there is solid biblicle justification for doing so. In Christ, lionheart |

Md1234, You make a valid point.I know I've said this time and time again and at the risk of being a hard head, we gotta be comnitted 2 Timothy 2:15 diciples of Jesus Christ. You will not go wrong when you let Gods Word speak for itself. We gotta be willing to do the homework. In Christ, lionheart |
