Sorry Workman. I should have reviewed all of your posts on the topic, rather than simpy responding to your latest post. As the kids say "It was my bad". Hopalong |

163 | Why Jesus die And Us asleep | 2 Cor 5:21 | hopalong | 200046 | ||
DeardrewBoy, Good question! Jesus died so that we would not have to die.Death is the penalty for sin. 2 Cor 5:21 He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. Jesus suffered death so that we would not have to suffer it ourselves. Hopalong |

164 | betrayal of Jesus | Bible general Archive 4 | hopalong | 200041 | ||
Dear God's baby, Apart from the grace of God, not a single fallen creature has any desire to submit themselves to serve God. Rom 3:10 as it is written, "THERE IS NONE RIGHTEOUS, NOT EVEN ONE; Rom 3:11 THERE IS NONE WHO UNDERSTANDS, THERE IS NONE WHO SEEKS FOR GOD; Rom 3:12 ALL HAVE TURNED ASIDE, TOGETHER THEY HAVE BECOME USELESS; THERE IS NONE WHO DOES GOOD, THERE IS NOT EVEN ONE." Thank God that He has shown mercy to you and me. Rom 9:18 So then He has mercy on whom He desires, and He hardens whom He desires. We have recieved what we did not deserve,MERCY. Judas recieved what he did deserve,JUSTICE. God Bless, Hopalong |

Dear Workman, Matt 28:16 But the eleven disciples proceeded to Galilee, to the mountain which Jesus had designated. Matt 28:17 When they saw Him, they worshiped Him; but some were doubtful. Matt 28:18 And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Matt 28:19 "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, Matt 28:20 teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." "Since Jesus instructed the apostles to make disciples, one needs to define the word disciple. In ancient Greek society the term disciple was used to describe a pupil or apprentice of a wise man. Disciples were seekers of knowledge and wisdom. In the Greek philosophical schools a disciple was a person who submitted himself to a gifted teacher. This discipling process involved a close relationship with and dependence upon the philosopher. The New Testament defines a disciple as a person who believes in Jesus Christ and then spends the rest of his or her life following the means of grace. Disciples must study God’s word and submit themselves to all the teachings of Christ. Because Jesus has delegated authority to ordained teaching servants, part of being a disciple involves joining a church and submitting to the elders of that church. “Obey those who rule over you and be submissive, for they watch out for your souls, as those who must give account” (Heb. 13:17). Of course believers are only to submit to elders when they teach what Christ has commanded." Brian M. Schwertley As church members we must be mindful to pray earnestly for our leaders, for they bear a tremendous responsability. God Bless, Hopalong |

Howdy Pard, I do worry that will take what I say as an affront to their beloved tradition. I pray that God will season my words with love. Perhaps I'm more like Gabby Hays...cantankerous! Hopalong |

Dear Halroy, I have found that many of my requests have been answered with "My Grace is sufficient for Thee". Not exactly what I was hoping for...but I do believe that Our Lord knows best! Keep on asking knowing that He does hear our requests. Hopalong |

Dear Azure, thank you for responding. "Ironically, "the old fashioned altar call" was unheard of until the nineteenth century. It first came into being by the influence of Charles Finney, the pioneer of modern evangelistic methods. In Finney's crusades (c. 1830) seats at the front were reserved for those who, after the sermon, would respond to the challenge to come to the Lord's side. Those who were thus "anxious" for their souls were invited to walk forward to the "anxious seat" where counsel and prayer would be given them."...Fred G. Zaspel Grace to you, Hopalong |

169 | INVITATION | NT general | hopalong | 199957 | ||
Dear sqkeener, I noticed that you took exception to the fact that there was no invitation at the end of of the service. Was the gospel proclaimed? Was Christ glorified? If so the Holy Spirit was moving in the hearts of the congregation. I did a search on "Altar Call" and failed to find it in the New Testament. "What is often shocking to many who use the modern invitation system is that the altar call is just that modern. The practice, although widespread, is a very new phenomenon in the Christian church. For nearly nineteen centuries no one had ever heard of the practice. Such well known evangelists as George Whitefield, Jonathan Edwards, and even John Wesley had never even heard of such a custom. And Charles Spurgeon, that passionate winner of souls par excellence, although well acquainted with the practice, firmly refused to adopt it and even criticized it severely." Fred G.

171 | Jesus was a very good man | John 3:16 | hopalong | 199953 | ||
I would give Him the Good News and pray that God the Holy Spirit would bring to the man the Gift of regeneration. 1 Cor 1:18 For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 1 Cor 2:12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may know the things freely given to us by God, 1 Cor 2:13 which things we also speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, combining spiritual thoughts with spiritual words. 1 Cor 2:14 But a natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually appraised.

172 | sharing our faith to unbelievers so hard | 1 Cor 1:18 | hopalong | 199596 | ||
Dear Gunnie, You said... "Since I first heard of God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit I read the bible to see the truth. Alas I found nothing in 27 years of reading the bible again and again that persuaded me to believe. True christians say you must have faith and here is where I agree with Jesusman. Faith is a Christian concept that lay people cannot understand, It is 'Churchese' as discussed in Jesusmans posts and to describe faith to someone without it, verges on the supernatural." Simply reading the Bible does not neccessarily result in regeneration! Regeneration is the work of God the Holy Spirit.(see john 3). As a "natural man", I also delved into the Bible, however all I found was condemnation. 1 Cor 2:14 But a natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually appraised.

173 | choosing a church? | John 15:5 | hopalong | 199594 | ||
First and foremost I would pray for God's leading...John 15:5 "I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing. May God grant your prayer by leading you to a church that preaches Christ, and Him crucified. A church that is founded in Holy Writ and teaches it faithfully to the glory of God. God bless, Hopalong |

1 Tim 3:8 Deacons likewise must be men of dignity, not double-tongued, or addicted to much wine or fond of sordid gain, 1 Tim 3:9 but holding to the mystery of the faith with a clear conscience. Friend Lion heart, It is not my intention to be an advocate for over indugence. Rather, my desire is to warn against what could result in legalism. It is clear that Paul was warning those ,who were to select their deacons, that they not elect those who are prone to get drunk! Having been a drunk myself, I know the difference between a glass of wine with my spaghetti and a bottle of wine conumed for the sole pupose of getting loaded. You stated that a "drug is a drug", which implied that "drugs" are bad! If that is the case we should tip our hats to the Christian Sciencetists! Do you see my point? Far be it from me that I would advocate that anyone should do anything against their own conscience. But it is important to me that God's Word be rightly discerned and the fredom we have in Christ be protected. Your friend Hopalong |
