kalos; The only name attached to the quote I found was H. Moore. I couldn't say for sure whether or not it was Holmes Moore. I'm sure it's possoble. I never heard of Holmes Moore myself. I do however get Adrian Rogers and David Jeremiah daily on my local Christian radio station. I like to listen to Ravi Zacharias program entitled "Let My People Think" which airs each Sunday morning in my area. Grace and Peace New Creature |

164 | Reconciling Rom 8:39 with Heb 10:26 | Rom 8:39 | New Creature | 116644 | ||
kalos; I have no problem with the thoughts from the following commentaries you posted. Actually I agree with the following comments you posted. "'For it is impossible to restore again to repentance those who have (done all these things in Heb. 6:4-5) and then have fallen away...Those who want to make this verse mean that believers can lose salvation will have to admit that it would then also say that one could never get it back again' (MacArthur Study Bible, Word Publishing, 1997). '...it is impossible to restore [them] again to repentance..." ' . . . logically v. 4 implies that if salvation were to be lost, it would be impossible for that person to be born again, lose it, and then be born again again." I must step up to the plate and declare, that if one were to do a careful exegetical study on the Epistle to Hebrews, you couldn't help but conclude, that those mentioned in Heb. CH. 6 and CH. 10 could only be referring to individuals who actually converted from Judiasim to Christ, and were considering return to Judiaism. Nevertheless, they were true Christian believers. As the Heb. 6:4 text says, they were made "partakers (fellow sharers) of the Holy Spirit" Then in Heb. 10 it says describes those addressed as being "sanctified." I can't understand how somebody can possibly conclude that those mentioned were not true believers. That intrepretation appears to myself and others, to be in direct opposition to the natural flow of the text, and also of the entire Epistle. This will be my last reply to this thread, because this has all been discuused to the max in previous threads, and I would just as soon have others in the forum do a search for what both sides believe and have already said concerning this subject.

kalos I would respectfully disagree with the commentaries you posted concerning the text in Hebrews. The author of the Epistle to the Hebrews was speaking to individuals who had converted from Judiasm, and had become Jewish Christian's, but were now considering returning to Judiasim. Even in the following verse, those mentioned are said to have been sanctified. Santified in my understanding, means set apart, separate. I would personally say that the individual's didn't merely draw close to salvation, and then turned away before receiving it. I think that the whole Epistle to Hebrews when fully taken in the context it was written. Why was it written? To whom was it written? etc. etc. it must be taken as a warning letter to prevent apostasy. No hypothetical warning concerning apostasy as many believe can be drawn from this letter. Heb 10:29 Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?

167 | Reconciling Rom 8:39 with Heb 10:26 | Rom 8:39 | New Creature | 116535 | ||
Huron; I agree with you that an act of sin won't separate us from His love or His family. However I do believe that unconfessed sin does separate us from felllowship. In order to be restored to fellowship, we need to confess any known sin, and allow the blood of Jesus to be the cleansing agent that washes away the stain of sin. 1 John 1:6,7,9 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Sir Pent; I just would like to thank both you and Nolan, for this beautiful exchange in dialoge. I would also like to thank you for awakening us to the dangers of becoming lukewarm, backslidding, apostasy or what ever it was that you experienced. It May be very possible that you were at the brink of full apostasy, from which there is no return. Thank you again for sharing with this forum. God bless and keep you New Creature |

169 | Quench the Spirit until extinguish? | Gal 5:17 | New Creature | 116452 | ||
CurtMan; Adam Clarke was a Greek Scholar. He also spoke, it I remember correctly about 9 - 11 other languages as well. As far as his theology went, Adam Clarke, embraced an Arminian view of Scripture, Which in my opinion is good. If you would like to study His view on different portions of Scripture, you can do so by going to: www.studylight.org Once there just type in the verses you want to get commentaries on, click the Search button, then when the new page opens, click on ACC which stands for Adam Clarke Commentary - thats all there is too it. Hope this helps. |

170 | Quench the Spirit until extinguish? | Gal 5:17 | New Creature | 116338 | ||
CurtMan; In my previous reply, I merely posted Adam Clarkes Commentary on the verse. If your asking me for my own thoughts on "Quenching the Spirit" then I will say that I personally believe it is possible to completely quench, or extinguish the Spirit. Otherwise the command to "not quench the Spirit" would appear to me as being useless. What would be the sense for someone to ask you not to do that which is not possible. That's my two-cents worth. Maybe it's not even worth that much. Let each reader be fully convicted in his/her own heart concerning the truth about this. |

171 | DOES GOD HEAR ALL PRAYERS ? | 1 Pet 3:12 | New Creature | 112890 | ||
BradK; "We know that God does not hear sinners; but if anyone is God-fearing and does His will, He hears him." My thoughts on that verse tend to lean in the following direction. Of course we know God hears the prayers of sinners, especially those that cry out to Him for salvation. I believe that, if we are out of fellowship with God and living in "willful sin" Heb 10:26 then we need to get right with God first, and be restored back to fellowship, before we can expect our prayers to be seriously considered. We get back into a position of fellowship by examining our lives, and asking God to reveal any known sin our lives, and then confess those sins to God, with a desire to turn from those sins. (see 1 John 1:7-9) I also believe other verses could be considered when trying to piece this puzzle together. Verses such as: Psalm 66:18 If I regard iniquity in my heart, The Lord will not hear: - on that verse Adam Clarke comments - "If I regard iniquity in my heart - “If I have seen iniquity in my heart,” if I have known it was there, and encouraged it; if I pretended to be what I was not; if I loved iniquity, while I professed to pray and be sorry for my sin; the Lord, Adonai, my Prop, Stay, and Supporter, would not have heard, and I should have been left without help or support. Other verses Isa 59:2 but your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, so that he will not hear. Prov. 28:13 He that covereth his transgressions shall not prosper: But whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall obtain mercy especially check out this next verse; Micah 3:4 Then shall they cry unto the LORD, but he will not hear them: he will even hide his face from them at that time, as they have behaved themselves ill in their doings. These last 2 verses give indication on whose prayer is heard; Jehovah is far from the wicked; But he heareth the prayer of the righteous. Prov. 15:29 (ASV) along with; The eyes of Jehovah are toward the righteous, And his ears are open unto their cry. Psalm 34:15 (ASV) Blessings New Creature |

172 | DOES GOD HEAR ALL PRAYERS ? | 1 Pet 3:12 | New Creature | 112847 | ||
Makarios; you said "hearing all prayers does not ensure an answer" This not an attempt to disprove or disagree with your reply. I just want to add what I once heard a pastor tell his congregation, in one of his messages. He stated; that, "God hears every prayer. But oftentimes the answer to many prayers is no. No is also an answer to prayer." Blessings New Creature |

173 | Questions for reflection and comment | Matt 26:45 | New Creature | 110843 | ||
Dear mommapbs; Concerning sleepy Christian's you said "I also think that many are asleep in the pews!" In light of that comment how do you interpret the following verses in their proper context? Is it possible that sleep maybe referring to complacency among believers? Mt. 25:5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. Mt 13:25 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. Mr 13:34 For the Son of man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch. Mark 13:35 Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning: Mark 13:36 Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping. Mark 13:37 And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch. Blessings New Creature |

177 | the way to Heaven through habitual sin? | Bible general Archive 2 | New Creature | 110713 | ||
Makarios; I agree. I just wanted to see how others in the forum would respond. I personally do not see where our Christian liberty gives us license to continue in a life-style of habitual sin. The antinomians however do believe we have a license to sin. For certain men whose condemnation was written about long ago have secretly slipped in among you. They are godless men, who change the grace of our God into a license for immorality and deny Jesus Christ our only Sovereign and Lord. (Jude 1:4 NIV) Thanks for your sincere reply. I do respect your thoughts in this forum, even if we disagree in other areas, or about other questions that arise in this forum. Blessings to you New Creature |

makarios the individual never stressed the fact that God's word clearly forbids the use of Christian liberty as an excuse for sinful living, nor did he elude to it in any form. I only heard him attempt to give license to sin. Blessings New Creature |
