It is the very natural reading of the passage. | ||||||

Continue reading past verse 27. Wow! context, context, context. No external force can drive me out of the fathers hand. Jesus was not convering the free choice of man. |

143 | what does Hebrews 6v4-6 mean? | Heb 6:4 | userdoe220 | 9692 | ||
Show me where these terms apply to a person who is not saved in the N.T. and I might look into this belief. The author of Hebrews is clearly talking about people who have "tasted of the heavenly gift...partakers of the Holy Spirit." If I read this passage without the aid of someone telling me what it is suppose to mean, I would never come up with a Calvanistic perspective. Why? I would choose the natural reading of the passage and not try to force it into a particular theological belief. |

144 | Is this person saved? | Heb 6:4 | userdoe220 | 9691 | ||
1st. There will be degree of punishment in Hell 2nd. Jesus teaches there are "degrees" of sin. Even logic would dictate that. |

145 | How do you then interpret the verses... | Luke 8:13 | userdoe220 | 9688 | ||
Paul even admits there is a point in which a man will not acknowledge God in Romans 1, yet according to Tyndale commentary it is impossible for a "dead man" to have anything to do with responding to God. | ||||||
146 | Can a believer lose his salvation? | Luke 8:13 | userdoe220 | 9687 | ||
Paul said that he could! "Lest I preach to others and I myself become a casteaway" I think I beleive Paul's very plain statement on the matter. No one can force you out of God's hand...Jesus is right. They can take your life, threaten your life etc., and you will still be saved. They can even tell you that you are not saved and you will still be saved. But it does not do away with our free will to say to God, "God, I don't want to serve you anymore. In fact, I plan on opening up a radio station, light up a cigar, cuss people out and teach heresy!" And to repond with, "Well do you think a true believer would do that..." does not satisfy the many passages that seem to prove otherwise. Don't let JOhn McAruthur, Charles Ryrie/Stanley tell you what those passages teach. Read the Bible for yourself and ask, "If I never read about eternal security, How would I approach the many verses out there that seem to blow it out of the water?" |

147 | How do you then interpret the verses... | Luke 8:13 | userdoe220 | 9681 | ||
Where do we get that man is totally depraved and cannot make a right spiritual thought? I read in a book that man is 100 percent spiritually dead because of Adam's fall. I thought Paul stated we were dead, "because all have sinned?" Paul even listed the spiritual spiral in chapter 1 of Romans. Why would he need to list the spiral if everyone is already at the bottom and will not acknowledge God? who is right? Paul or John McArthur? | ||||||
148 | Predetermined or Free Will | Luke 8:13 | userdoe220 | 9679 | ||
Of course he chose us to be holy and blameless in him before the foundation of the world. His predestined plan for all believers is a life of holiness! "He chose us...to be holy..." Of course he predetermined that he would adopt those who accepted him out of his own kindness. He predestined us (created a pre-determined plan)...to be adopted. I don't see how this passage backs up fatalistic salvation? |

149 | Can a believer lose his salvation? | Luke 8:13 | userdoe220 | 9678 | ||
Heb. 6:4. Please read. I have never once read, or heard a satisfactory response to this passage. I hear a lot of "you have to know the context" like I have not read and studied the passage in context. Also, the scripture gives plenty of examples of people "making shipwreck" of their faith. Paul telling others that he could become a castaway (1 cor.) and many other passages I could site. Those who come those passages and try to tell you that they do not refer to a loss of salvation are forcing those passages into their theological biases. |

Great answer! | ||||||
151 | What is the point? | 1 Thessalonians | userdoe220 | 9348 | ||
Your comment that you are "no-rapture" does not make any sense. The rapture plain and simple is Christ coming for his church. How can you deny that without denying scripture? Well, unless you allegorize those passages which a number of theologins do. |

152 | Why do we disagree? | 1 Thessalonians | userdoe220 | 9347 | ||
As long as we are human and living on this earth, we will look at different theological issues and arrive at different concusions. I don't believe Jesus/God sees anything wrong with people who beleive the Bible teaches something a certain way choosing to fellowship together! I belong to a Hillcrest Christian Church (they say they are not a denomination, but if it walks like a duck and quackes like a duck it is a duck. They have calvanists/armenianists/pentecostals/charismatics all under one roof. Each Sunday school class is a knock-down drag out fight! When new converts come into the church, the single-most voiced complaint is, "All of this stuff is so confusing. Christianity is way to hard to understand!" I can't help to think that if all the armenianist in our church would gather together. And all the calvanist in our church would gather together. Sunday school and church would be much more enjoyable. I don't see and will never be convinced that God wants us all together under one roof just to argue on our day of rest! So, I don't see why it is bad for people to read/study the scriptures and go to a "denomination" that best lines up with what they believe the Bible teaches. Even if that denomination bears the label of a Christian Church. |

153 | What is your idea? | 1 Cor 14:34 | userdoe220 | 9346 | ||
I believe if in one place Paul is telling women it is all right to speak in the church (1 Cor 10-14 deal with order in the worship service: communion, role of women in the church; gifts of the spirit etc.) and in another place he is completly forbidding them he must have been addressing a specific situation. I am not exactly sure (and if somebody claims to have the answer they are really not being truthful) what it was that caused Paul to issue this statement. I tend to lend towards dis-orderly comment/questions directed towards their husbands in service. But I would not argue this point because the scripture is silent. The one thing that disturbs me about this whole process, is I ahve never, never, never seen a church practice what I have seen posted on this forum. Every church I have been into allows their women to speak in the church and their women do not even wear hats on their heads. If they really beleived what they are spouting off on this message board, there would be a gag order. Women would not be allowed to speak at all in church. And, sad to say, the children would suffer the most. |

154 | Women speak in church? | 1 Cor 14:34 | userdoe220 | 9338 | ||
I think we should interpret the passage literally. However, we have to understand what it means to "interpret the Bible Literally." Please read Gorden Fee's book, "How to read the Bible for all its worth.: Now, your question. I find this passage of scripture a tough one to deal with. It def., in my mind, should belong in one of those "Hard sayings of the Bible" books. The reason is many-fold. 1.) Just two chapters prior (1 Cor 11)to the passage you are citing, Paul encourages women to Prophecy! I will admit there are some qualifications BUT if all the qualifications are met, Paul gives women free reign to "prophecy" in church. Now the problem...Can someone prophecy (proclaim) and not speak? No. (I don't think they had sign-language back than.) So, what did Paul mean in chapter 14? Or was Paul senile and forgot what he wrote a couple of pages back? 2.)What about Galatians? Paul seems to destroy the very barriers that divide us in Christ (Gal 5 T"Here is neither Male nor female, circumcision nor uncircumcision..."). If God sees us as one in Christ, why can’t women speak in church? Are women inferior to men? Why are social barriers ripped down only to erect new ones? 3.) In the book of Acts it records that Stephen had 7 young daughters that...Prophesied. I believe to prophecy you have to be able to speak. (I have many more examples, but I will rest at just three.) Now, some would say they were allowed to "prophesy", but they couldn't do it in the sancturary. I have a couple more questions for that line of reasoning. 1.) Did the early church meet in a nice church building, or someone’s house? If they met in someone’s house and worshipped in their main-room, would the wife of the house be prevented from talking in that room even if a service was not going on? If not, what makes 11:00 am on Sunday morning so special? 2.) Why does NO church faithfully practice this teaching? Even the Southern Baptist church allows women to be missionaries. Are we in America so holy that we can't have women preachers, but people overseas can? Looking at the list Americans are number 1 at, I find that statement hard to believe. 2.) What makes the "sancturary" of 1st Christian church in Plano, Tx more holy than a Sunday School classroom located in the same facility? Are we not the real sancturary? Do I have the answer? No. But I do have an idea what Paul was talking about. Yours in Christ |
