202 | Would Adam and Eve have fallen? | Gen 3:13 | Wild Olive Shoot | 186995 | ||
Dear Brian, If God calls, there is not a man who can resist, or resist for long. Kind of puts us in charge of things rather than the sovereign Lord if we could now doesn’t it? God’s calling is an effectual calling. Philippians 1:6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ: "If God should choose this morning to call the hardest-hearted wretch within hearing of the gospel, he must obey. Let God call—a man may resist, but he cannot resist effectually. Down thou shalt come, sinner, if God cries down; there is no standing when he would have thee fall. And mark, every man that is saved, is always saved by an overcoming call which he cannot withstand; he may resist it for a time, but he cannot resist so as to overcome it, he must give way, he must yield when God speaks. If he says, "Let there be light," the impenetrable darkness gives way to light; if he says, "Let there be grace," unutterable sin gives way, and the hardest-hearted sinner melts before the fire of effectual calling."

Dear Brian, we have the abililty to choose God? Really??? What man, without God's acting upon him would even consider choosing God? Romans 8:7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. John 6:44 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day. John 6:65 And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father. Titus 3:3-5: 3 For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another. 4 But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, 5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; Stand in His grace, WOS |

Hi Mark, nice to hear from you. I consider blaspheming the Holy Ghost to be much broader than just the act of vilifying, but in context here, I wholeheartedly agree with you. It was meant as vilifying the acts performed by Christ as not being attributable to God, but of the devil. Matthew 12:32 really does drive that point home I guess. You can speak against the man, his human nature, and be forgiven. But to claim the miraculous power displayed in His divinity was anything less than divine will not be pardonable. For by claiming that, you deny who Christ was and is. But I do think that this is relevant today as there are many that make the ignorant claim that Christ was simply a magician or illusionist and deceived those who witnessed His acts. To simply lessen His divinity is blasphemous regardless of whether or not the claimed intentions were meant to apply Christ’s power to the devil or used to reject His divinity and claim otherwise.

Hi Jeff, I’d like to add a bit to this discussion. Regarding, “The argument continues that because our Lord has ascended and it is impossible for any to witness Jesus the man perform a miracle, it is impossible to commit blasphemy of the Holy Spirit in our time.” I’d like to point out the fact that although we do not have a direct eyewitness ourselves, we have the witness of those who did. John 15:27 And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning. Acts 5:32 And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him. 1John 1:1-3: 1 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life; 2 (For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;) 3 That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ. 2Peter 1:16 For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty. 2Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: Hebrews 10:15,16: 15 Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before, 16 This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them; Personally, I don’t know the answer fully either but I do agree with what you stated: “but I don't agree that it was only possible for those pharisees based on the fact that Christ "directly addressed" them or they were the ones in that specific event who made the accusation.” Rejecting the God inspired testimony of the Christ (and what He did) seems really similar to blaspheming the Holy Spirit since it is the Spirit that bears witness in God’s Word. Just some thoughts. Stand in His grace, WOS |

206 | body piercings and why not | Lev 19:28 | Wild Olive Shoot | 186034 | ||
1Corinthians 10:31 Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God. Dear Drew Boy, please explain to the Forum how it is that body piercing brings Glory to God and not necessarily used for promoting one’s own pursuit of a self-indulgent public promotion? We do things for arguably two reasons only, for the glory of God or for our own vainglory. The latter of which is the only logical explanation for body piercing, at least in this man’s opinion. The fact of the matter is if “new-born” Christians are walking away from God as you state, I question that they were reborn to begin with. Love for Christ is not self-indulgent but rather self-sacrificing. Love of Christ will have you wanting God to have all the Glory as He rightfully and truly deserves. Your convictions should stem from that love. Quite honestly, if you shove the love of Jesus down someone’s throat, I would expect him or her to choke and die due to its unimaginable size. I would rather God change a person’s heart than make them try to swallow a love of which they can hardly grasp its size. Just my opinion. Stand in His grace, WOS |

Hi John, My two cents worth... Sounds like you may be confusing common sense with moral values. Logically, if you stick "my" hand in the fire, you know that “I'll” get burned, common sense right? What is it that keeps you from wanting to put my hand in the fire? Common sense doesn't inform me that something is evil or bad, my moral values do. Common sense simply allows me to apply logic to determine a possible outcome. Moral values allow me to apply logic to prevent an undesirable outcome involving guilt or shame.

Okay coper, I’ think I do owe you an answer in hopes of alleviating your frustration. Know this, I was not attempting to refute or debate when I originally posted, my hopes were that this subject which has seemingly been going for some time now, would be deferred at least for a while. Simply because the discussions I have followed and read were not undertaken as much in an edifying manner as they were a biased forceful manner. But I’m in no position to make that assertion so I apologize and will properly render my response to you. Also know this, it not necessarily an area I want to debate. I’m answering only because I think it proper per your request. You’ve asked the following: Q1. “Why is it so unreasonable to believe that Jesus was speaking directly to His disciples about things that would occur in their lifetime when He used the word "you" so many times throughout the Olivet Discourse?” A1. If you look at the text, “you” wasn’t the only term referred to many times. He warned of many times the fact that there would be many who claimed He already came. My main problem with your position is based on the fact that you read into the first part of the Olivet Discourse as literal, so long as it supports your position, and then as soon as it doesn’t, you spiritualize the text to make it fit the rest. What prompts you to suddenly change your interpretation at some mid-point? I’m not a scholar, but logically, I can deduce that if Scripture doesn’t call for the change in interpretation, we shouldn’t apply it. The fact is you “have” to spiritualize what hasn’t been fulfilled to the eye in order for your opinion to make sense such as the judgment of the wicked, Matthew 24:40 and so forth. The parables subsequent also show that there would be a somewhat lengthy return if understood properly. Q2. “When compared to James 5:7-9 written between 50AD-60AD isn't a near to them coming the only logical, normative way to understand it?” A2. I see James indicating that no matter the times, we aught to be living in a state of expectancy. Where are our hearts if we do not? If Christ’s return isn’t considered imminent, where do we stand? I suppose we don’t stand simply because we have not the fear of impending judgment nor the hope of relief when Christ does return. We should be patient under our trials, long suffering, as the example put forth is that of Job. Q3. “Again, couldn't this be the reason that Peter, James, John (and even Paul), would teach their audiences that the coming of Christ was near?” A3. It is always near brother and with each passing day it is more so. They as well as we are taught to be ready for it. Scripture also informs us that Christ’s return was already in question and the Apostles had to put down the heresy that had already crept in. 2Timothy 2:16 – 18 Jesus when speaking of his return, did so in a manner that informs us that it will be visible, not spiritual or invisibly. You can’t properly explain and show for fact that all of the discourse concerning His return has taken place and been visible. Let God fulfill His prophecies on His own time. Forcing them in to a context so they can be understood more easily to suit us, is simply handling the Word in a careless manner. Matthew 24:34, 35: 34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled. 35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. “1. Christ here assures us of the certainty of them (Mat_24:35); Heaven and earth shall pass away; they continue this day indeed, according to God's ordinance, but they shall not continue for ever (Psa_102:25, Psa_102:26; 2Pe_3:10); but my words shall not pass away. Note, The word of Christ is more sure and lasting than heaven and earth. Hath he spoken? And shall he not do it? We may build with more assurance upon the word of Christ than we can upon the pillars of heaven, or the strong foundations of the earth; for, when they shall be made to tremble and totter, and shall be no more, the word of Christ shall remain, and be in full force, power, and virtue. See 1Pe_1:24, 1Pe_1:25. It is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than the word of Christ; so it is expressed, Luk_16:17. Compare Isa_54:10. The accomplishment of these prophecies might seem to be delayed, and intervening events might seem to disagree with them, but do not think that therefore the word of Christ is fallen to the ground, for that shall never pass away: though it be not fulfilled, either in the time or in the way that we have prescribed; yet, in God's time, which is the best time, and in God's way, which is the best way, it shall certainly be fulfilled. Every word of Christ is very pure, and therefore very sure.” – Matthew Henry Stand in His grace, WOS |

Dear coper, From what appears to be your first post, #183345, you stated the following: “I'm aware that this line of thinking is called Preterism. I've been introduced to it rather recently and I can't disprove it. It has become an obsession with me and I would appreciate it if someone could shed some light on this subject and redirect me back to a more proper understanding of Scripture.” For someone who is asking to be redirected back to a more proper understanding of Scripture, you sure do put up a mighty struggle. Was it that you simply wanted to disrupt all you could or are you seriously in want of being redirected? Just be open and honest in regard to your intentions, because at this point brother I’m of the opinion that you just want to argue and debate. If you’re fond of preterism, so be it. Just don’t continually push your stance on those who aren’t. I’m of the opinion that ones eschatological view doesn’t necessarily have any bearing on the status of a person before God. But many others don’t hold that opinion. Stand in His grace, WOS |

210 | John and 1 John by the same John? | 1 John 1:3 | Wild Olive Shoot | 184649 | ||
phylbee, You can look at the following for some more information. http://eastonsbibledictionary.com/ Simply look up “John” when you get to the site. The below is a preview of what you will read there. I for one haven’t heard that John was Jesus’ half brother and I don’t know that Scripture informs us of that either. The Bible tells us John the disciple was the son of Zebedee , as also pointed out by Easton below. There is indication that Salome was his mother. You can compare the verses mentioned. Matthew 4:2:1 And going on from thence, he saw other two brethren, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them. Matthew 27:56: Among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedees children. Mark 15:40: There were also women looking on afar off: among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome; “(3.) THE APOSTLE, brother of James the "Greater" (Matthew 4:21; 10:2; Mark 1:19; 3:17; 10:35). He was one, probably the younger, of the sons of Zebedee (Matthew 4:21) and Salome (Matthew 27:56; Comp. Mark 15:40), and was born at Bethsaida. John, First Epistle of The fourth of the catholic or "general" epistles. It was evidently written by John the evangelist, and probably also at Ephesus, and when the writer was in advanced age. John, Gospel of The genuineness of this Gospel, i.e., the fact that the apostle John was its author, is beyond all reasonable doubt. In recent times, from about 1820, many attempts have been made to impugn its genuineness, but without success. It was probably written at Ephesus, which, after the destruction of Jerusalem (A.D. 70), became the centre of Christian life and activity in the East, about A.D. 90.” – Easton’s Bible Dictionary Stand in His grace, WOS |

211 | The fruit and leaves of the tree of life | Gen 2:9 | Wild Olive Shoot | 184593 | ||
It almost seems to me that there are possibly three types of Christians in this world. Ones who are sound in biblical doctrine and build on the foundation of rock. There are those not so biblically sound whose foundation is laid on sand. And then there are the eclectic, those whom take bits and pieces of sound and unsound doctrine and build half on rock and half on sand. For the eclectic, I pray that when the storm comes, they’re standing on the part built on rock so as not to be swept away with that built on the sand. My criticisms were not meant to be so unless they accurately apply to the faltering position one takes while piece milling that which one finds to support a position that is contradictory in and of itself, and not in complete harmony with Scripture. I’ve learned that if you critique another concerning their approach to supporting a particular doctrine or position, you better be well prepared to defend your own using those same critiques. By your own admission jonp, you fail to do that and therefore make it difficult for someone such as myself, to give your opinions full consideration. As I stated in the previous post, your position seems as dangerous as someone who would “purposely” submit to scattering falsehoods. You take some biblical truth and apply it to your thinking, but then disregard other “truths” that do not corroborate your thoughts. You must include all of the truths put forth in the Word in order to finally stand on a sound base. I actually can and do agree with some of what you posted on the topic, as well as others, but cannot identify with much of it and at this point am not truly concerned with trying to understand your position. Maybe that is here nor there but personally, I don’t want to continue to on a path that further displays our differences or lack of understanding one another. Just a quick response to my use of “symbolism” and it being a loaded word. Re-read my post. The only reference I made was a quote from you inserting symbolism, it wasn’t mine, although, I really have no problems using the term. I appreciate the invite to respond via e-mail, but I’ll keep correspondence with you publicly my friend. It benefits us both I think to have others who can help us to identify if a topic is still remaining fruitful or not. I’ll agree with you that this one has gone on long enough and far enough off track, as far as my participation is concerned. I’ll leave the last words to you should you chose.

So you find no credible evidence to support a teaching, but make the strong assertion that we should base doctrinal standards from silence or lack of evidence? You stated in a previous post: “And no, one questionable passage is not sufficient to demonstrate such an important doctrine. If it was not important enough for Paul and Jesus to mention it is highly questionable.” Such an important doctrine, your words not mine, but it is acceptable that your opinion be correct from such a lack of discussion. On one hand you claim there was teaching, however erroneous it may be, that was discredited by the early church and should be abstained from. On the other, you lay a foundation based on the silence of the subject or the lack of it being mentioned in Scripture. Your stance, to me anyhow, seems to be just as dangerous. The fact of the matter is although many hold a particular position concerning eschatology many others will and do hold a different position. As I see it, there is more than one way of considering the end times and they have equally valid strong arguments supported by Scripture and to further disagree, although it is a valuable doctrine, it may not be as important as you claim. You also make reference to some as Luther and Calvin to have not bought into the teaching you claim was discredited or any other eschatological view point for that matter. You will find that both held strong opinions concerning this topic if one would care to look, however, neither of them focused on it. It just doesn’t seem to be a necessity to hold one view over the other. Reading back over your posts a bit, it seems to me that your own personal end times position is somewhat ambiguous, at least to me anyhow, but I’ve been called thick in the past, no need to assume that has changed. You seem to be a “semi” partial preterist with a futurist impression. You take historical accounts in the gospels as literal but only partially fulfilled, but future events are not taken literally as many futurist hold and you seem prone to only take literally that which supports your position. I have a hard time understanding just where it is you are coming from, and with that assume others may as well. That may be part of our problem in communicating. You also made the statement “But in the wider context we must sometimes do what you have done on Revelations 6. Recognise that symbolism MIGHT be involved. But we must not determine our use of symbolism simply in terms of what fits our position.” In fact brother, isn’t that what you have done time and time again. You stated: “And from then on they reigned with Christ whether they were on earth or raised up to be with Him as Paul says in Philippians 1.20-23. The 'thousand years, is the ideal period ahead for Christians before His coming.” Your post # 183691, you make this claim based on your position while others take it literally to support theirs. The pot shouldn’t call the kettle black my friend. In some instances your argument is sound, but in most, its just rather confusing and confusion tends to frustrate people, at least it does me. So I apologize if I came across rash and will look discerningly before becoming involved with topics as this with someone without a real clear position. By the way, the info I can find on 2 Baruch indicates its origin to be late first century maybe early second century. Can you still consider it an intertestamental teaching, or perhaps maybe just one of the early church before they had a chance to clear it out? Stand in His grace, WOS |

214 | Cont radiction??? | Luke 2:11 | Wild Olive Shoot | 184300 | ||
Here is a question for you to ask: Father God, how can I see that there is no contradiction in your divine revelation to us and that your Word is in complete harmony? One probable answer: 2Timothy 2:14-16: 14 Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers. 15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 16 But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness. Read it and study it, know it and live it. 2Timothy 2:22-26: 22 Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart. 23 But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes. 24 And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, 25 In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; 26 And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will. You have received very good instruction from those answering or responding to your posts. I think its time you take heed those responses and verify them with Scripture. I’m sure you’ll find the correlation because there aren’t any parables to confuse you. I just don’t think I understand the full intent of your line of questioning, but personally, if you are waiting for a special revelation from God that Jesus is the Christ, your wait may be in vain, for He has already revealed that to us. And for those who don’t profess their faith in Him, the next time it is revealed will be too late. We are to glorify God San Lukas, if we do not, He’s more than capable of glorifying Himself. Either way, our glorious God makes it known just who He is. Stand in His grace, not His judgment, WOS |

I’m assuming you are referring to discussing this particular topic??? If I’m wrong, then there are many of us who should hang it up for a while for in our passion, we have many strongholds that need weakened as well and our good brothers and sisters who participate in this forum can be used by God for that very purpose. Be strong in the Lord and continue to seek His wisdom and knowledge while relying on Him and His promises. Ephesians 4:11 – 15: 11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: 13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: 14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; 15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: I know that I have much growing to be done and actually look forward to it.

Stj, From Easton’s Bible Dictionary: “In New Testament times the prophetical office was continued. Our Lord is frequently spoken of as a prophet (Luk_13:33; Luk_24:19). He was and is the great Prophet of the Church. There was also in the Church a distinct order of prophets (1Co_12:28; Eph_2:20; Eph_3:5), who made new revelations from God. They differed from the “teacher,” whose office it was to impart truths already revealed.” I’ll also provide the following, focusing on verse 22: Deuteronomy 18:18-22: 18 I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him. 19 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him. 20 But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die. 21 And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the LORD hath not spoken? 22 When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him. And then: John 2:18 –19: 18 Then answered the Jews and said unto him, What sign shewest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things? 19 Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. Acts 10:39 – 41: 39 And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree: 40 Him God raised up the third day, and shewed him openly; 41 Not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before of God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he rose from the dead. Did he not foretell the future and… on more than one occasion, accurately? Those with Him also understood: John 6:14 Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, This is of a truth that prophet that should come into the world. Here is something interesting from Matthew Henry regarding John 6:14: “III. Here is the influence which this miracle had upon the people who tasted of the benefit of it (Joh_6:14): They said, This is of a truth that prophet. Note, 1. Even the vulgar Jews with great assurance expected the Messiah to come into the world, and to be a great prophet, They speak here with assurance of his coming. The Pharisees despised them as not knowing the law; but, it should seem, they knew more of him that is the end of the law than the Pharisees did. 2. The miracles which Christ wrought did clearly demonstrate that he was the Messiah promised, a teacher come from God, the great prophet, and could not but convince the amazed spectators that this was he that should come. There were many who were convinced he was that prophet that should come into the world who yet did not cordially receive his doctrine, for they did not continue in it. Such a wretched incoherence and inconsistency there is between the faculties of the corrupt unsanctified soul, that it is possible for men to acknowledge that Christ is that prophet, and yet to turn a deaf ear to him.” So to answer your question, yes He is a prophet and He is a prophet, great among all prophets. He is our Lord and God as well. Stand in His grace, WOS |

219 | Where I can find documentation | 2 Tim 3:16 | Wild Olive Shoot | 183905 | ||
So from the time you were baptized until the time you posted, you had not sinned? Because you stated you were saved at baptism and when you posted you stated you are saved. And to claim that sin causes you to loose that salvation… so your sin is more powerful than and above the blood shed for you by our Savior? John 10:27-30: 27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: 28 and I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, and no one shall snatch them out of my hand. 29 My Father, who hath given them unto me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand. 30 I and the Father are one. Stand in His grace, not upon your works. WOS |

stjames7, You stated: "However Luther was just one man and did not have the authority to remove or add anything to the canon. The issue was formally settled by the Catholic Church during the Council of Trent in 1546." I don't believe Luther or the Roman Catholic Church had or have or will have any authority. "IV. The authority of the Holy Scripture, for which it ought to be believed, and obeyed, depends not upon the testimony of any man, or Church; but wholly upon God (who is truth itself) the author thereof: and therefore it is to be received, because it is the Word of God." - The Westminster Confession of Faith / Chapter I Of the Holy Scripture / IV. "II. Under the name of Holy Scripture, or the Word of God written, are now contained all the books of the Old and New Testament, which are these: Of the Old Testament: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy, Joshua, Judges, Ruth, I Samuel, II Samuel, I Kings, II Kings, I Chronicles, II Chronicles, Ezra, Nehemiah, Esther, Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, The Song of Songs, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Lamentations, Ezekiel, Daniel, Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, Malachi. Of the New Testament: The Gospels according to Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, The Acts of the Apostles, Paul's Epistles to the Romans, Corinthians I, Corinthians II, Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, Thessalonians I , Thessalonians II , To Timothy I , To Timothy II, To Titus, To Philemon, The Epistle to the Hebrews, The Epistle of James, The first and second Epistles of Peter, The first, second, and third Epistles of John, The Epistle of Jude, The Revelation of John. All which are given by inspiration of God to be the rule of faith and life." - The Westminster Confession of Faith / Chapter I Of the Holy Scripture / II Stand in His grace, WOS |
