161 | Holy (GHOST) Received but not Realized? | Romans | GeorJoy | 91838 | ||
Hi, and Thanks for your response josiebible. There is no noubt in my mind, according to my understanding obtained through diligent bible studies, that considering what you have stated, you have correctly answered my question. My lack of "understanding" for so long could have easily sent me to hell. If it had not been for the Grace of God, and a GOOD God fearing woman whos patience is only exceeded by that of our Lord Humself, I might have never accepted the fact that I just needed to "accept" through faith what the word had promised, and that understanding would eventually eventually come, according to His will. Hang on to, and learn to use that POWER for the GLORY of HIM whom it is from. May God richly bless you and yours. George |

163 | Is God's love unconditional ? | John 3:16 | GeorJoy | 91619 | ||
Joh 3:16 Yea, and this was the very design of God's love in sending him into the world. Whosoever believeth on him - With that faith which worketh by love, and hold fast the beginning of his confidence steadfast to the end. God so loved the world - That is, all men under heaven; even those that despise his love, and will for that cause finally perish. Otherwise not to believe would be no sin to them. For what should they believe? Ought they to believe that Christ was given for them? Then he was given for them. He gave his only Son - Truly and seriously. And the Son of God gave himself, Gal_4:4, truly and seriously. Per John Wesley George |

As I previously stated, I did not intend to spark a debate on this matter. It has nothing to do with the question posted and I respectfully decline your argument. Thus I consider it closed. George |

By the way John. Did I say they did? I simply asked a question. A simple yes or no would have been sufficient, I wasn't really expecting a debate on the subject, which was aside from the original question in the first place. George |

There is the "Carismatic movement," and I am sure many more who abuse, misuse and misinterpret what is taught about such. Personally, I have never expected to hear another language like german or chinese or swahili. I wouldn't have reconized them as such if I had. I can't say that I am "fully" comfortable with everyone who professes to speak in toungs either. But I do know what Gods word says about the utterance of such. And the Holy Spirit has given me discernment. I should think that anyone who believes the word without trying to change it would also. I know that there are those who love to be noticed in church, and elsewhere as well, but I have no intention of letting their actions sway what I know of the word, and why I am in the church in the first place. I believe in toungs. Once again, I also know what Paul said about them. If one does not feel comfortable around toungs, fine. If another does, that's just as fine. The belief or disbelief of such isn't going to get one into or keep him out of heaven. Personally... If it's of God... and He said I could have it.... I WANT IT.... John, if you don't think it's of God, please, I don't want to hear it. God Bless George |

167 | How does any Homosexual believe they are | Rom 1:19 | GeorJoy | 91562 | ||
The servant is condemned only by the Master. If he is not a servant in the first place, it is the DUTY of those who are servants of THE Master to point out the Masters qualifications. If The Master has made it plain that something is detestable in His sight, is it not the duty of the servants to inform the "wantabe" or non servant before he meets with THE MASTERS WRATH? Admittedly, there are servants who's zeal, ignorance or whatever one should call it, who would appear to pass on The Masters "judgement," rather than his written qualifications. Those servants Will answer to The Master in due season. George |

168 | How does any Homosexual believe they are | Rom 1:19 | GeorJoy | 91558 | ||
You stated "Do I think Ninevah would have been saved without Jonah pointing out thier sin? Only God knows this," WRONG! God gave us His word that we should discern good from evil, and know His perfect will. No matter how hard we may try, our will will never be His unless it is within the context of His perfect will. It is apparent from your posts to date, that you have no desire for knowledge or discernment, only justification through twisting, deluting and redefining the word, as did Saton, the current lord and master of those whom you try to justify, when he tryed to tempt Jesus. The mere claim that "you have accepted God's gift of grace brought to us through Jesus...who died for our sins" is hogwash without the evidence of repentance and the "renewing of the mind" which is the evidence of the rebirth.

What is important is NOT what you, I, or anyone else BELIEVES. WHAT (IS) IMPORTANT IS WHAT THE WORD OF GOD STATES. And the Word STATES that those of whom you speak "are an abomination." A concise version of Webster's definition of the word "abomination" is "extreme disgust and hatred : LOATHING." Whether you like it or not, the answer to your question is NO. No amount of discussion, debating or arguing will change the answer. Going a little deeper however; Can a homosexual get saved? Yes. But like everyone else, they have to BELIEVE IN JESUS CHRIST AS SAVIOR, REPENT of their sin(S,) ask for forgiveness; then and only then will they be saved from the wages of their sin(s.) Unlike in this (so called) modern day society, there is no favoritism or special privileges where God all mighty is concerned. I am sure you will have already been quoted what I am about to quote, but the following is THE WORD. There will be not one single letter of it changed from the beginning of time to the end thereof... Rom 1:24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: Rom 1:25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. Rom 1:26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: Rom 1:27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. Rom 1:28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; There relationship with God is between them and God. They will be the ones who spend eternity in the burning pits of Hades. Scripture also states that "their blood will be on the heads of those who do not inform them" of the wages of their sins.

170 | What scripture quotes name of "beloved d | John 21:20 | GeorJoy | 91547 | ||
No. It dosen't really answer my question, for it does not state who, or which desciple "had leaned back on His breast at the supper." However, I have found the answer. It is not dirrectly addressed in scripture, and I am sure it is one that many will not understand. Consider the fact that in his gospel, "John" looks on himself as a third party. Keeping this in mind, one will find the answer therein. George |

As Paul said, I would rather you speak one word that the church understands than ten thousand that they do not. Toungs edify the individual, nothing and no one else. I guess if one had the guift of toungs, yet not that of interpritation, it would be "uttering meaningless syllables." Thanks for your input George |

Please correct me if I am wrong, but I am of the impression that those of the Presbyterian faith do not believe in the speaking of toungs. Whether so or not, the trinity is the foundation. George |

I thank you for not having responded in the manor in which many would have. I would have to say that without realizing, you have found the contention. Although belief is a synonym (one of two or more words or expressions of the same language that have the same or “nearly” the same meaning in some or all senses,) thereof; Faith is a different word and has a different meaning, (although slight.) Rom 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved Whether we can express it in words or not, I think we may be on the same track. The key word is FAITH. However, I still contend, and will until scripture is shown to say otherwise, that “BELIEVING ALONE IS NOT SUFFICIENT FOR SALVATION!!!” The answer is in the “whole of scripture”, not one verse thereof. If one were to, (and there are many who do,) take individual verses and focus in on them, they could, (and do) make the scripture say whatever they desire. God Bless George |

Ok my friend. If it is your desire, you have every right to focus on that one particular verse, and pay absolutely no attention to the others I have quoted. I can't imagine one even having read the book of Romans and not understood what I have "QUOTED from scripture." I am also aware of various "translators" who aren't in the least biblical in their translations. Your having "translated the entire letter to the Romans," yet having no more understanding of salvation than you profess puts me in mind of the Pharisees and Sadducees. I mean this not as an insult, for I am sure that you are sincere in what you say and think. I am also sure that there were Pharisees and Sadducees that were just as sincere. I give PRAISE TO GOD ALMIGHTY that you have noticed that "This kind of response seems to be coming more and more frequently on the forum over the last few weeks," for this is EXACTLY what I have been preaching herein for past few weeks. That one should STUDY the word for themselves as it says in 2Ti 2:15 KJV "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." And that one should follow a man of God, preferably their Pastor, and go to him rather than such false prophets as are running rampant on sights such as this and throughout the web. I thank God also, that to date, all who I have personally corresponded with on THIS PARTICULAR sight have been (serious) where the word of God is concerned. We have averted arguments, agreed, disagreed, and agreed to disagree. I should hope that you could be included in this statement. It is up to you, for I will not back off from the word. Not my interpretation is THE WORD, for the word IS my interpretation. I depend on the Holy Spirit and those inspired and anointed of God, proven such over the century’s, for scriptural translation Your statement that "When one can't explain their position, or Scripture totally teaches something other than their position," proves that you have "translated more than just the book of Romans." It is apparent that you have "translated" it into something that it isn't. Anyone, no matter how ignorant, who has read the posts to which your note is attached, can plainly see your refusal to accept or understand "SCRIPTURE." If you would rather use your personal so called "translation," then if you insist on sharing your ignorance, you should expect that those who recognize it as such will, at least make an attempt to clarify what you have so badly distorted.

I don't know Ken. I should think it would have rung home if I I had. However, this forum is so confusing that it wouldn't surprise me if I hadn't meant the post for someone else. God Bless. George |

If you consider the the commentaries of man more valuable than than the word of God, and it is your desire to "throw IT out", then so be it. As well, if you consider the Holy Bible "pious conceited thinking," then all I can say is "Lord help!" Some Commentaries are good. But they are JUST THAT, commentaries. The comments of mortal man. Nowhere will you read in the word that any commentary is, as is the word of God. 2Ti 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: It sounds as though, either you simply do not understand what I have said, or you simply don't agree and are trying to change the meaning thereof.

I have provided the scriptural references. They are adequate to answer the question you posted. Understanding, or acceptance, I can not provide. If you will read and (study) more of what Paul has to say on the subject, you will understand what I have been saying. Try reading or (studying) the book of Romans, particularily the 10th chapter. I will provide one final scripture concerning this subject. Anything more would be a waste of yours and my time. KJV 2Ti 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. May God open your eyes and those of all who diligently seek His word but, seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear. God Bless George |

Pro 12:15 The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that hearkeneth unto counsel is wise. KJV Pro 13:16 Every prudent man dealeth with knowledge: but a fool layeth open his folly. Pro 18:2 A fool hath no delight in understanding, but that his heart may discover itself. Pro 18:2 "A fool hath no delight in understanding, but that his heart may discover itself." Pro 18:6 A fool's lips enter into contention, and his mouth calleth for strokes. Is this the criticism you were expecting? I could pin you down to the level of your master. The one who first tried to use scripture against my Master, I will conclude with Pro 26:5; Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit. George |

Hi John I think you may have posted this in the wrong place? For I agree with you whole heartedly, and chose not to respond to such a twisted post. George |

Jam 2:19 KJV Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. Is Jesus not God! Would you say that those spoken of in the verse quoted above have received salvation due to their belief? I make no apologies, nor arguments, for it is in scripture. 1Pe 1:25 But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you. There is more to salvation than just believing. KJV Rom 10:10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. One cannot “pick and choose” as you have done, where the word of God is concerned. In its entirety, one can see the whole picture. Zoom in on the picture and you will only see a portion thereof. Read it all, my friend. If you have read and still make the assumption you have posted, you should read again, not just a verse or two. Not even a chapter or two. Perhaps after you have read a book or two, the picture will come together. By then you should be able to see the absurdity of your assumption. If not, there is only prayer left. If what you state were correct, then believing would be a free ticket to the commission of sin. Joh 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Joh 3:6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Joh 3:7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. Joh 3:8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit. George |
