161 | Once saved always saved ??? | Bible general Archive 2 | New Creature | 143329 | ||
Timothy: In the last line of your thoughts on OSAS you stated: "Dont do good works and sin.....curses in this world but still go to heaven." That comment seems to closely resemble the teaching of antinomianism, which turns God's grace into a license to sin. That teaching is dangerous. Romans 6:15 What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid. Blessings New Creature |

162 | Is God an accessory to evil? | Acts 4:28 | New Creature | 142832 | ||
Doc I appreciate all your help. I will study the Scriptures you gave me and see if I can find a satisfactory answer for my original question. I agree with you when you stated: "Keep asking questions! Every time you are uncomfortable it means it is an opportunity to learn! There are always answers." The only thing is: I am not sure the answer to my question will be an easy one. The following verse comes to mind. Deut. 29:29 The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law. Thanks again Doc NC |

165 | Accessory to evil | Acts 4:28 | New Creature | 142812 | ||
Searcher Actually this is a theological question which is derived from Scripture itself. No denomination has been mentioned except by you. If you don't have a reasonable answer to my questions could you leave them for those who do. Once again my question is: I am having a difficult time with Acts 4:27-28 Acts 4:27 For of a truth against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles, and the people of Israel, were gathered together, Acts 4:28 For to do whatsoever thy hand and thy counsel determined before to be done. In the above verses, I read where it was determined by God that Christ should die. So far I have no problem Where I am having a difficult time is trying to figure out whether it was determined by God which individuals would actually put Christ to death. The word determined is the Greek word (proorzio)which has also been translated to mean "predestinated" or "ordained" So if God predestinated or ordained that certain sinful men would carry out His plan, doesn't that seem to make God an accessory to evil, and the Author of it. I personally do not actually believe God is the Author of sin. But how can I explain this text without it making God appear to be an accessory to evil? Does any one have a reasonable answer? |

168 | Speak from the midst of the fire to you? | Acts 9:4 | New Creature | 142242 | ||
The point I was making is that God has always spoken to man. And He has done this in various ways. He even once used a donkey to speak to Baalam. But what He says must agree with the written word. IN MANY WAYS AND IN VARIOUS WAY of old, God spoke to the fathers in the prophets; (Heb. 1:1 LITV) God didn't stop speaking to people in our day. He still speaks to individuals, and He still speaks to the body of Christ (church) corperately. Rev. 3:22 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. (seven times in Rev. 2and 3) If you or others have never personally heard from God, then don't attempt to tell others that God has not spoken to them. Thats between them and God. Don't set yourself up as judge over others as to whether or not God has spoken to them. |

justme I truly enjoyed your reply In communicating with God, we prayerfully study and mediatate upon His word. We cannot know God's will for our life, if we neglect His word. After having spent time alone with God in prayer and in His word, we then remain silent and patiently wait for God speak to us. God oftentimes guides us by His Spirit. His Spirit speaks to our spirit, and we know that we have heard from Him, when it agrees with His word. Like you said: If we don't remain receptive to His voice, then how can we expect Him to guide and leads us. One last thing Not only does God guide us individually, but He also speaks to us and guides us corperately, IF we have ears to listen. Rev 2:7,11,17,29;3:6,13,22 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches The church of which we are a part must also have a ear to hear what the Spirit is saying in our day. |

Hey listen. I'm not gonna get into a big quarrel about this with anyone. I personally believe that God still speaks to us. He spoke to me, and He has spoken to others. How do you think a person hears a calling upon His life to go into the Ministry. if God doesn't speak to people. How do you think that those God calls to far away mission fields know that they are called by God to become servants in the mission field unless they spend time alone with God in prayer, in communion, and in His word with Him in private. How shall they preaach unless they are sent? (Rom. 10:15) Do you think those God calls into a Ministry postion, enter the Ministry on a mere whim or fancyful thought? His Spirit even bears witness with my spirit that I am His. (Rom. 8:16) |

173 | Does anyone still beleive that God talks | Acts 9:4 | New Creature | 142120 | ||
Hi Doc. I think I can safely say that God not only hears our prayers, but also answers them. What this means is God still communicates with us today. I can remember a vivid instance where God spoke to my spirit by His Spirit. His voice seemed so clear, although I didn't actually hear a voice, I do believe I did hear from God. Here are the details A new job in my workplace had become available I prayed and asked the Lord, whether I should put in for this job or not. I sensed God telling me to go ahead and put in for it. I said Lord I don't want this job to bring glory to Myself. I want to be considered for this job opening only if You feel that you can use me in that position to bring Yourself glory. Besides the job payed less that the job I was currently working on, but meant that I would have the weekends off. I just felt as though I needed to stretch myself to a new work location. I thought of the possibilty of working with new people, and having them as my mission field to witness to. So I put in for the job. And I prayed to the Lord, Lord if I get this job, I will consider it Your will that You want me there. And if I don't get the job, then I will also consider it Your will that I should not be there at this time. Either way Lord, I committ this matter into Your keeping, and trust You for the results. A couple of days later, I found myself worrying about whether or not I would get this job. It was then that the Lord spoke to me. Here is what He said to me. "My child. Didn't you committ the results of this matter into My hands? Why do I find You worrying? It saddens me when I find you worrying like this, because it means that your not truly trusting Me for the results. At that point, I said. Oh Lord, please forgive me for worrying and for not trusting You completely for the results. I recommitt this matter back into Your hands. Whatever happens Lord, I will know it was Your will for me. Thank You Lord. I now had perfect peace concerning this. A few days later, I was called for a personal interview, and then the next day I was notified that I had been selected for the job out of 18 other candidates. Yes God still speaks to us today, And yes God gave me plently of doors opportunities to witness to others in my new work area. Praise God for He is good. |

God desires to have intimate fellowship with us. God is still speaking to us, through His word, and in circumstances of life. "And He walks with me, and He talks with me" |

175 | Where does it say that? | Mark | New Creature | 141547 | ||
greetings kalos: I think the idea foe the thought "'God cannot look upon sin" may possibly come from the following verse of the OT Hab. 1:13 Thou art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on iniquity: wherefore lookest thou upon them that deal treacherously, and holdest thy tongue when the wicked devoureth the man that is more righteous than he?

176 | Why God allows such tragedy | Bible general Archive 2 | New Creature | 140867 | ||
Good reply lionheart I also believe that God can take all the circumstances that occur and use them for His glory. Sometimes the only way God seems to be able to get peoples attention is through diaster which often results in the lose of life. Many times these circumstances or pain are the tool that forces those who would otherwise never seek after God to now seek Him out. Pain sometimes is the only broadcast system people are atuned to Blessings New Creature |

We might also ask why God brought the flood upon the world during the time of Noah, in which all perished with the exception of 8 individuals, It was due to the wickedness upon the earth that the Lord cleansed it with the waters of the Flood. Maybe we should ask ourselves the following question Has the wickedness upon the earth once again reached such a level of wickedness where God possibly needs to cleanse it. We know from Scripture that in the days of Noah He cleansed the earth with the waters of the flood. We also know from Scripture that the next time that the earth will be totally cleansed, it will be cleansed with fire. I do know God is Sovereign. And I trust that He knows what is best.

178 | Is Gambling Wrong? | Bible general Archive 2 | New Creature | 140769 | ||
Hello Russ I remember in the past before I became saved, that I use to love playing card games, and gambling for small amounts of money. Once I became genuinely saved, I lost my love for card games altogether. I can't even stand to look at a deck of cards anymore. But thats just how God was working in my life. |
