141 | 2 witness resurrection and pre-wrath | Matthew | retxar | 56192 | ||
Thanks Kalos! This clears up a lot for me! SEALS NOT TRUMPETS! Thanks! Sorry for the blunder! Rev 8:1-2 "When the Lamb broke the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour. And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and seven trumpets were given to them". The seven angles only recieved their trumpets after the seventh seal was opened. You also made me think about the ACCOUNT of the two witnesses being recorded between the sixth and seventh trumpet, not neccesarly when it will actually take place (tho not ruled out by me). Iron sharpen iron! retxar |

142 | Are we do pray to Jesus? | Matt 6:9 | retxar | 14503 | ||
Here are a few verses that show it is proper to pray to Jesus. Acts 7:59-60 pray to Jesus. 2Cor 12:8-9 pray to Jesus. Acts 2:21 call upon Jesus Joel 2:32 call upon Jesus Romans 10:11-13 call upon Jesus Psalms 86:5 call upon Jesus Psalms 145:18 call upon Jesus Isa 55:6 call upon Jesus Acts 9:14 call upon Jesus 1Cor 1:2 call upon Jesus Acts 22:16 call upon Jesus Acts 9:21 call upon Jesus John 14:13-14 ask in Jesus name John 16:23-24 ask in Jesus name John 15:7 ask in Jesus name John 16:23 ask in Jesus name John 16:26 ask in Jesus name 1John 1:9 pray to Jesus God Bless, retxar |

143 | Please explain | Matt 7:13 | retxar | 8595 | ||
Please don't think Jesus was saying water baptism is a salvation requirement. Jesus explains exactly what he meant in John 3:5 when He said, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. Just read the very next verse and it will be very clear what Jesus meant. John 3:6 "That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Jesus Lives! |

Are these loop's and hoop's? What you are asking? What do you mean? Are you questioning the referred post or are you endorsing it? If you are endorsing, I agree. This is the WORD! retxar |

145 | Do all little ones believe? | Matt 18:6 | retxar | 66570 | ||
Mat 18:2 Then Jesus called a little child to Him, set him in the midst of them Jesus is using the little child He still has "in the midst of them" as an exapmple of those who who have representatives right in the throne of God! This would defiantly includes believers, and of coarse this child, and also children in general, as part of this group. retxar |

Greetings charis, I gave the Mat 18:2 reference to show the context, framework, and circumstance in which Jesus was speaking in Mat 18:10 and Mat 18:14 (the verses Cyclist brought up). I gave the reference to show that when Jesus said what He said in Mat 18:10 and Mat 18:14 that the child He had called their attention to in Mat 18:2 was still “in the midst of them”. If not, where did the child go? If not, when did Jesus send him away? His words applied all who had representation in heaven, and this child was the perfect example. Jesus did not say this child was any different from any other child, so I have to conclude that His words apply to all since God is no respecter of persons (Mat 22:16, Act 10:34, Rom 2:11 Gal 2:6; Eph 6:9). We are taught to be the same way (no respecter of persons) in James 2. Please consider, In Jesus name, retxar |

Charis, I do have other scripture I could present, but from what I have already stated as what Mat 18 is saying to me, I can't really say it would be anything that would sway your thinking. Mat 18 is my best shoot (for now anyway!). I admit that the WORD is pretty silent (not totally tho) on the fate of young children of both believers and non-believers. 1Cor 7:14 has been presented as "proof text" that children of believers are secure in Jesus. But to me, it is less convincing than Mat 18 that all young children are secure in the Lord. I believe in salvation of all young children, but if I based a belief of salvation for the children of believers only based on 1 Cor 7:14, I would also have to believe it as proof of salvation for their un-believing spouse. I, like you, am confident that God is just with young children (even aborted children), and that to me has to mean that he will not send them to Hell. If only the children of the saved were secure in the Lord, and the children were kept secure until they had the knowledge to accept Jesus (no saved-now/lost-later scenarios), would not everyone that has been born since Noah be saved, because all would have had to have salvation passed down from their parents? How could the chain have ever been broken? Thanks for your pleasent exchange, tho we disagree. retxar |

149 | Do all little ones believe? | Matt 18:6 | retxar | 66837 | ||
Sorry if I came across as negative. Here’s another shot! Mar 10:14 such is the kingdom of heaven Mar 10:15 receive kingdom as a little child Luk 18:16 such is the kingdom of heaven Luk 18:17 receive kingdom as a little child Mat 18:3 become as little children Mat 19:14 such is the kingdom of heaven And they were bringing children (children of many) to Him so that He might touch them; but the disciples rebuked them (definitely not the disciples children). But when Jesus saw this, He was indignant and said to them, "Permit the children (any of the children) to come to Me; do not hinder them; for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these (no regard to who their parents were). "Truly I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child (as a child, not any particular child) will not enter it at all." And He took them in His arms and began blessing them, laying His hands on them. (Mar 10:13-16) These children here in Mark were NOT the disciples children. Jesus did not care who’s children they were. Jesus declared that they possessed heaven with no regard of who their mom and dad were. Jesus gave no hint that any of the children’s heavenly status was questionable. You state that you have a hard time understanding God's rationale for 'un-saving' children and that seems to be a problem for you to believe that ALL young children are secure, even tho you feel that should be right. Then you go on to say that there was a time when you KNOW you were lost. I assume that when you were born you also KNOW (now anyway) your were saved (secure). Hey, I believe the same thing for my own life! I believe I was secure/lost/saved! I know I am probably misunderstanding what you meant and please, please don’t think I am trying to twist your words, but it seems you have said the same thing (secure/lost/saved). Could this mean that what you KNOW is not necessarily what you understand? I do not pretend to understand either! retxar |

Charis, I know this is where this exchange was supposed to end, but I have 2 small issues with your last post that I fell I must address and then I will cease. 1. You wrote: “Please do not accuse me of following tradition, that would not 'stick' on me! :-)” What brought this on? I re-read my posts, and am at a loss as to what you are talking about? Are you sure I was the one that said what you thought I said to prompt this response from you? Anyway, I apologize to you, sir, if you thought I implied this in anyway. I promise, the thought (of you following tradition) never crossed my mind! 2. Your comments that I was assuming too much to determine the children were NOT the disciple’s: If you would examine the text carefully, you are sure to agree with me too! The ones who were rebuked were not the children, as you have assumed, rather the ones rebuked were the ones who brought them! “Then they brought little children to Him, that He might touch them; but the disciples rebuked those who brought them.” (Mar 10:13 NKJV). So unless Jesus was rebuking the disciples for rebuking themselves, I think it is safe to say the children were not their own. retxar |

153 | Mat 17:20 vs I Cor 13:2? | Mark 9:23 | retxar | 91490 | ||
I agree, Jesus was indeed speaking of the size of the mustard seed. But I also believe He was speaking of the characteristics of a mustard seed which needed to be released and planted in order to bring forth results. What’cha think? Now faith is the substance of things hoped for! retxar |

154 | Are you convinced? | Mark 16:10 | retxar | 54816 | ||
Thanks Tim! Concerning Mark 16:16, if we go by what it says rather than what it does not say, it presents no doctrinal conflicts with the plain Biblical teaching of salvation by grace thru faith. It actually supports Eph. 2:8-9 very well! To me, Mark 16:16 is a strong witness that water baptism is NOT a salvation requirement, because those do not believe are condemned, not those who aren’t baptized. retxar |

155 | Why little sign of power in our churches | Mark 16:17 | retxar | 93220 | ||
What Bible are you reading from that says "This things have ceased"? I have saw no verse in any Bible translation that says (or even hints) that any Spritual gift has ceased or will ever cease until Jesus comes back. 1Co 1:7 Therefore you do not lack any spiritual gift as you eagerly wait for our Lord Jesus Christ to be revealed. retxar |

156 | Why little sign of power in our churches | Mark 16:17 | retxar | 93391 | ||
Thanks for your response. Now another question. What do you think about the Lords supper? Do you or your church observe it? |

157 | Why little sign of power in our churches | Mark 16:17 | retxar | 93545 | ||
Good answer to my good question! I'm glad you do observe the Lord's supper because it is a scriptural command for us to observe until Jesus's return. 1Co 11:26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death till He comes. However, if you believe Jesus has already returned, why do you think "it is important for Christians to observe it" in light of 1Co 11:26? Why would you, if Jesus has already returned? Won't you please re-examine you beliefs and consider the fact that you may be WAY OFF BASE here my friend? BTW, contrary to your previous post to me, God's truth is NOT “simply a matter of on what we think or believe”, but rather WHAT WE BELIEVE should be based on GOD's truth, which is absolutely true regardless of what we may think or believe. You shall know the truth and the truth will set you free! retxar |

158 | Luke 4:18:19 and Isaiah 61:1-2a | Luke 4:18 | retxar | 19096 | ||
Thanks Nolan, You have confirmed for me exactly what I had shared with another brother elsewhere a while back. His interpretation of “God's Word enduring forever” is that it has to remain in tact, word for word, jot for jot, tittle for tittle (he was KJO), otherwise it cannot claim the title as “God’s Word”. I gave him this example in Luke to show him that Jesus did not share the same view as he did, because what Jesus read was only perfect in the since that the message God originally inspired was conveyed exactly as God intended. Jesus confirmed the actual words of the translation when he said “This day is this scripture fulfilled IN YOUR EARS” (Luke 4:21 KJV), even tho it was not a word for word translation of Isaiah. This left him searching for answers, because it did not exactly fit with his KJO position. I pray that the Holy Spirit will be allowed to work in this situation. Thank you for being the other “witness” I needed to confirm what I felt the Holy Spirit had revealed to me to share with this brother. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established (2Co 13:1b). Thanks, retxar |

159 | Is salvation taught in Luke9:23-26 | Luke 9:23 | retxar | 21030 | ||
Did Jesus not extend this invitation personally to a non-elect in Luke 18:22? If so, option one would be correct. retxar |

160 | Is it by works or by grace? | Luke 11:8 | retxar | 57831 | ||
Greetings GeeVee, I can understand what you are trying to say, but if we use the example of Jesus Himself, praying the same prayers, whether praise or request is not wrong, does not shoe lack of faith, and in fact is exactly what we should do until God has revealed to us that our prayer has been answered. Mat 26:39 He went a little farther and fell on His face, and prayed, saying, "O My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will." Mat 26:42 Again, a second time, He went away and prayed, saying, "O My Father, if this cup cannot pass away from Me unless I drink it, Your will be done." Mat 26:44 So He left them, went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words. Notice that Jesus not only prayed the same prayer again and again but He prayed it again, again, and again, and He even used the SAME WORDS! Pray without ceasing! retxar |
