183 | Were Ananias and Sapphira believers? | Acts 5:5 | ebrain | 181588 | ||
I am of the opinion that there is Biblical evidence that certain sins committed by a believer may very well result in an early home as indicated by the verses bellow. 1Cr 5:5 deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.* 1Cr 11:30 For this reason many are weak and sick among you, and many sleep. |

Hi Hank. I could be wrong of course, but the whole tone of your contributions gives me the impression that you think the two persons in question were not believers, is this in fact the case, and if so why do you think they were not Christians? I agree with what Apollos has said, that we do not know for certain if Ananias and Sapphira were believers, although I myself am inclined to the view that they were, an opinion you will note that is also supported by the Doc. This, however, is not the point, what really matters is the question why exactly did the Holy Spirit cause this incident to be recorded, what are we intended to learn from it? Regarding Paul's stock holdings, I regret I am not able to help you with this one. Happy New Year. Edwin. |

Hi Hank. Thank you for your seasonal greetings, and the black-eyed peas information, we do not as far as I am aware have a similar tradition here in the UK but thanks again for the insight. The word "tone" refers to the way, the manner, in which an article is written, and therefore the impression it gives to the reader regarding the underlying motive of the writer. Now in respect of my post, you will have noted that my opening words were, "I could be wrong of course", and later on in the same paragraph I said, " is this in fact the case", thus allowing for my interpretation to be incorrect. I wonder, are we two Nations divided by a common language? You will also have noted that in my third paragraph, I asked a question, for which you have not so far given me the benefit of your advice? Every blessing brother to you, your wife, and family. Edwin and Hazel Brain. |

Thank you for your comment, please tell me just what your understanding is of "the unpardonable sin", and do you think that it can be committed to-day?, | ||||||
189 | Does Sin mean the same in Old and New | Rom 5:14 | ebrain | 163493 | ||
Sin no matter how it is described, is against God, and that is all that matters. Salvation from sin no matter how it is described, is allways by the same method. |

190 | DID JESUS EVER DIE? HE WAS GOD | Rom 8:11 | ebrain | 183457 | ||
Jhn 10:17 "Therefore My Father loves Me, because I lay down My life that I may take it again. Jhn 10:18 "No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This command I have received from My Father." Yes Jesus did die, He says so in the verses above, don't try to understand how, just believe Him, take Him at His word, exercise the faith that God has given you, see Hbr 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. |

191 | Christians with demon oppression | Rom 8:16 | ebrain | 166588 | ||

192 | Free will and predestination co-exist? | Rom 8:29 | ebrain | 178469 | ||
You say that we do not have free will, yet at Gen 5:24, we are told that "Enoch walked with God; and he was not for God took him". Please tell me, do you think that Enoch walked with God of his own free will, on not?. If he did not have a free will as you maintain, then this verse of Scripture is pointless. At Job 1:8, the LORD said that Job was "a blameless and upright man, one who fears God and shuns evil". What is the point of the LORD saying this if Job did not have a free will ?. ebrain. |

Hi Ztheberean. Thank you for your post. I am still awaiting your answer to my question on Enoch, and Job, ie, did these men exercise free will, or were they without free will ? Phil 2:13 is addressed to christians who have allready exercised their free will to become believers in the first place. This verse must be read in the context of vs 5-13, and especially in respect of v12, now ask your self how can "Work out your own Salvation" possibly be addressed to persons who are allready saved ?. It can only refer to christians who are trying to live the christian life, and please God in the energy of the flesh, and this never works. They are to "work out", how it is to be done, and Paul tells them that the only way in which they can do this is as a result of God who resides in them revealing His will, and then it is He it is who does His will, but only if you allow Him to do so as Jesus did as described from verses 5 to 11, and is why v 12 starts with "Therefore". ebrain. |

Hi Mark. Regarding the last line of your post, where you say, "Is there a Scripture that says we are predestined to salvation?" Love in Christ, Mark Well what about these two Ephesians Ch 1 vs 5 and 11. "In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will" "Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will" |

Sorry Mark. I left this one out. Ephesians 1:4. According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: Now please tell me how this verse, and the two in my previous post cannot refer to those predestined for salvation ?. Regards. Edwin. (ebrain |

197 | Free will and predestination co-exist? | Rom 8:29 | ebrain | 178596 | ||
So let me ask you - when do we become "in Christ"? Love in Christ, Mark Mark, You have answered your own question in your post from which the above extract is taken. At verse 4, the Lord tells us that, "He chose us in Him from before the foundation of the world". I have no difficulty in taking this to mean that we were put "in Christ" before the world was. Every blessing. Edwin. |

198 | Free will and predestination co-exist? | Rom 8:29 | ebrain | 178618 | ||
It seems to me that there was a time when we were dead in sins, before we were in Christ, then, when we became "in Christ", this involved re-birth, and we became a new creation. This is my understanding. What is your understanding of these verses? Love in Christ, Mark Hi Mark. Thank you for your kind words, it's great to have fellowship with you once more. but please dear brother don't put the cart before the horse. We were not dead in sins, before we were in Christ, but we were in Christ before we were dead in sins. You and I and all other people are inside the "Space Time Continuum", a creation of the Lord superimposed upon Eternity. Eternity is timelessness, and it is in Eternity that God the Father placed us in His Son before the beginning of time, however, we do not come into existance untill after time was created (but He knew that we would exist). We were dead in sins at the point of our conception onwards, (see Psalm 51:5), and remained so untill we were saved, after which we discover that we have been "in Christ" from before the foundation of the earth Now do you get it. Bless you brother. Edwin. |

Ztheberean, The post that you have sent to Mark is both insensitive, and judgmental, I find myself in complete agreement with the sentiments expressed by Steve, Jeff, and BradK. Mark is a long standing, and respected member of this web site. You owe him an apology. Edwin Brain. |

Hi Z. I refer to the extract below from your post of 12.18 pm on 10/20/06. There is no doubt in my mind that Mark is in Christ Jesus, my Lord, but there is doubt that he is of God in Christ. According to the doctrine of Christ, we need to be in both the Father and the Son (2Jn. 1:9). Once more, we see the danger of quoting Scripture verses out of context, verse 9 has to be read within the context of vs 7 through 11. which clearly indicate that the person refered to in v 9 is a deceiver and the antichrist. I do not believe that you deliberately intended to describe Mark in this way.. I would therefore ask that you be more carefull in future. Although you say " I an sorry for any offense",,, and "Please forgive my rudeness", this in only addressed to the four of us, and not to Mark as it should be, and now more so in light of what you have said above. ebrain. |
