142 | Can you lose your salvation? | Eph 1:13 | InGodITrust | 187878 | ||
Tim, Greetings, I am new to the forum. I am having a hard time figuring out where all this started? However, I would like to make one comment about those you listed in history as men of God who supported free will. Tertullian, Clement of Alexandria, Athenagoras of Athens, Irenaeus, and Justin Martyr. Have you personally looked into what all these guys believed and taught? Not to mention they are (all) Catholic? Don't get me wrong Christian Catholics that are born again, I am not addressing. From the conservative history I have read about, those guys don't make the list. Just a thought............? God's speed Tim, InGodITrust |

143 | Can you lose your salvation? | Eph 1:13 | InGodITrust | 187888 | ||
Tim, Yes they do, those quotes make it clear they did. However, my understanding is those guys were on "the fringes." They were not (at all) in the majority and did not have an influence on "the main body of believers" in the conservative, fundamental arena. There's was not the excepted view of the conservative church fathers. And, as noted they followed many of the teachings of the Catholic Church and not those "outside of Rome." Something to look into. Historically the free will position has not been held by the vast majority of those in the traditional and conservative camps. Yes, the free will position has been around along time, but not by those whose over-all doctrines were held in esteem. By the way, my name is not Tim; I was addressing you. I will stick with InHimITrust for now. God Bless |

lookin, For confirmation, please look on the Catholic web page, via search engine. If you use a search engine just put any one of those guys names and it will bring up many listings as well as the Catholic page. They are listed (I don't recall if all their names are) by the Catholics as saints and former Catholic church leaders. However, you are correct as far as that goes, and yet many Christians were "not at all" a part of the system then known as "the church." In early church history there was only one universal church. But, it was the foundation as well as the original Roman Catholic church; one and the same. God Bless, InGodITrust Hope this helps........ |

146 | Can you lose your salvation? | Eph 1:13 | InGodITrust | 187934 | ||
Lookin, As you can tell I am new to the forum. I have been following the long and arduous debate about eternal security. Perhaps Psalm 25 was not very clear about what he was stating. However, I do follow his argument that Ephesians 1:13 is in complete context with Ephesians 1:4 and that we must take the whole of chapter one in one stream of discourse. I agree that 1:13 "the sealing" being a one time action from eternity past. If I am correct the entire debate was eternal security? Therefore, what God chose before the foundations of the world was sealed then; the sealing took place before the foundation. Of course the effect of that sealing was after salvation. God, knowing who would believe (no matter how you debate whom and why) sealed all such future believers in eternity past. This does not mean we all literally existed in eternity past but that God,knowing who would become believers, sealed them in Christ through the Holy Spirit. As I have many years of studying I think you will find that all (or hopefully most) Biblical scholars agree that any time the Bible says "God seals" it is something that no one or absolutely nothing can "un-seal." With all that said I must agree that it is one of the strongest verses in the Bible on eternal security. Just my two cents worth! InGodITrust |

149 | More on submissiveness | Eph 5:22 | InGodITrust | 189749 | ||
eileen8, As much as is possible, submission in the New Testament refers to those "equally yoked." To try to answer your question would be too vague and would not address the problem you mentioned earlier. Submission to a non believing spouse (I assume since you said he is alcoholic) would entale all scriptures except where he would ask or expect you to violate Biblical principals. Those of course would be too involved to answer here. If you can please be more specific. On the Forum we do not generally give personal advise as this is highly unwise without knowing all the facts. Then again you would get such a wide range of answers you'd be more confused than ever. Kind of like my many answers to tonights questions............!!! God's grace to you eileen8 InGodITrust |

150 | "The Great Commission" ? | Col 1:23 | InGodITrust | 192801 | ||
Derowr, I beg your pardon, the Great Commission has not been fulfilled. I don't know what version of the Bible you are using nor do I know your 'frame of reference.' The NASB does not say nor indicate "was." The rendering is "the Gospel that you have heard, which was proclaimed in all creation under heaven,..." The KJV renders it preached 'to' every creature. The Greek for to is the preposition 'ev' which means "in" that means "within definate space or limits." The Great Commission will not be fulfilled until the return of Christ to rule and reign. So, my friend, please clearify exactly what you mean and are trying to say. InGodITrust |
||||||
151 | "The Great Commission" ? | Col 1:23 | InGodITrust | 192803 | ||
Derowr, Since you insist on being evasive in your response there is no need for one. I believe what you are proposing is out of the guidlines of the SBF. If this is the case, sir, you need to take your thoughts and erroneous position somewhere else as what you are saying is heresy. InGodITrust |
||||||
152 | "The Great Commission" ? | Col 1:23 | InGodITrust | 192809 | ||
Derowr, I will just let the Forum 'watchdogs' deal with you. I have nothing more to say to a person who thinks he has "The Truth," when all o Biblical Christianity considers your opinions heresy. InGodITrust |

153 | How many ressurections are there? | 2 Thess 2:3 | InGodITrust | 188017 | ||
M.Royal, If you count all three, as I do, the first resurrection is the gathering up (rapture) of living believers and the those in the grave that were believers, is the first. The second would be those who came to Christ during the "great tribulation," being resurrected to the thousand year period. The final and third will be all the unsaved-lost dead for the final resurrection. And for all the final judgment, believers unto the bema seat or Christ's judgment, the lost unto "the great white throne judgment." At this time the lost and Satan will be cast into the lake of fire forever. It's been many years since I studied this out but that is "a basic explanation." I think that answers Rev.20:4,6 Verse 5, "this is the first resurrection," refers back to verse 4, those who died for Christ during the great tribulation. Giving you a blessing, InGodITrust |

154 | What stands in the Holy place, today? | 2 Thess 2:4 | InGodITrust | 189757 | ||
dhill1, The holy place refers to the "rebuilt Temple" in Jerusalem yet to be constructed. This will happen just before or during the tribulation period. The plans to rebuild are well under way by Israel, as I understand it, awaiting God's time table. Question answered? InGodITrust |
||||||
155 | "Rebuilt Temple" | 2 Thess 2:4 | InGodITrust | 189763 | ||
dhill1, That indeed is the "million dollar question!" Only speculation; either near or next to it (which I seriously doubt) or an earth quake could destroy the Dome of the Rock? Guarentee you one thing, God will see to it.... War? who knows but the Lord......as it is prophesied, "it will indeed take place." God bless ya, InGodITrust |

156 | Who is he who restrains?ebrain. | 2 Thess 2:7 | InGodITrust | 188021 | ||
Mark, 2 Thess2:7 is said to be the church (believers)because we are still here, and as God's agency, our collective spirit-filled lives hold him back. The other opinion is a government agency of some kind. Both are speculative opinions. The restrainer "being taken out" in Revelations is said to be the Holy Spirit, which up to then has held back "evil in general." Hope this helps........ InGodITrust (hope you all do to!) |
||||||
157 | Who is he who restrains?ebrain. | 2 Thess 2:7 | InGodITrust | 188023 | ||
cheri, Amen, sister, God is and will keep "the world in check" until we "check out." I have no desire to start more controversy but "why would God want His Bride here," when all-hell-will-break-out? Just my o-pin-e-on.......... InGodITrust |
||||||
158 | Who is he who restrains?ebrain. | 2 Thess 2:7 | InGodITrust | 188026 | ||
Yes Cheri, I don't think we have "authority," but only in that God answers our prayers, which is our authority. God is ultimately ruling over all things and He puts it in our hearts to pray for His will. Does this fit? InGodITrust |
||||||
159 | Who is the restrainer? | 2 Thess 2:7 | InGodITrust | 188032 | ||
Greetings Mark, Always appreciate what you have to say. Have you given much thought to (possibly) the restrainers activity all throughout history? Maybe this is just something I have contimplated. In light of what scriptures say, the tremendous evil that abides in all of men's hearts, do you think "the restrainer" has been at work all along? I have thought quite a bit about this. I believe (just an opinion based on what I've seen) the restrainer has been at work since the fall. I truly think that mankind would have readily destroyed each other long ago. I think God has, all along, restrained the evil in mankind. Therefore, leading into the "great tribulation," where the evil intents of man's heart will run wild, that God will withdraw His restraining. This accounts for the tremendous evil and chaos that will persue. Therefore, the church, meaning each individual believer, each one possessing the Holy Spirit, that now God withdraws His holy (us) presents from this world to judge it like never before. Thus whatever or whoever is "the restrainer" would naturally need to be "withdrawn." What-do-you-think? InGodITrust |
||||||
160 | Please clarify............?? | 2 Thess 2:7 | InGodITrust | 188036 | ||
Searcher, You got me, please give references for both? I am not sure (at all) what your question is. Waiting for your reply..... InGodITrust |
