Joe, Thank you for your input! As I typed in my response to daffy, I look forward to seeing some of the postings on this, not seeking opportunity to challenge anyone or begin a debate, but, it has been a question in mind for many years. I looked in different translations because, as I typed in my answer (to daffy): "when I read Romans 9 I see that God has pre-destinated and pre-ordained everything.", I have always wondered why it is written "God changed His mind". I have always been of the mind that "I will not question the Lord my God", and still am, so I have never asked about this until now. Here are the results from the translations I looked into: NIV - "relented" NASB - "changed His mind" AMPLIFIED - "turned from" NEW LIVING TRANSLATION - "withdrew from His threat" KJV - "repented" NEW KJV - "relented from" 21st CENTURY KJV - "repented" ASV - "repented" YOUNGS LITERAL TRANS - "repenteth" DARBY - "repented" Also you write "so it is best to think of "God changing his mind" as an apparent change in time and space....." I have two things to say in response; First of all, and please, please, please do not take offense, when someone says, or types in this case, to me when discussing the word of God "so it is best to think...". I always question, Is this man's wisdom? Is there scripture to back what is being said/written? Second, I do not understand this part "...as an apparent change in time and space.....". Thanks again Joe for your post. I have read some of your posts since I've been a part of this forum, and, have learned from them. In Jesus, Cyclist I will bless the Lord at all times! His praise shall continually be in my mouth! |

Good Morning daffy! Great is the Lord and greatly to be praised! How wonderful are His mercies! How marvelous are His works! Praise be to Jesus Christ who thought not of Himself but gave His life for the sins of the world! Praise Him! Praise Him! Very good question. I 've pondered this myself. I look forward to seeing some the postings on this. For now though, I find at least four recorded accounts in the Old Testament where prayer changed what God said He was going to do. See: Exodus 32:9-14, Psalms 106:40-45, Jeremiah 26:18-19, and Amos 7 the entire chapter. Again, I look forward to reading some of the postings by our more knowledgable forum members because, like yourself, when I read Romans 9 I see that God has pre-destinated and pre-ordained everything. Hope this helps a little, Cyclist I will bless the Lord at all times! His praise shall continually be in my mouth! |

Dear Brother Tim, Blessed be the name of the Lord forever! Praise be to God! Oh Lord my God, early in the morning when I'm riding my bicylce and the sun begins to rise I see the beauty of what thou hast created! All praise be to Jesus Christ who died for the sins of the world! I don't know how many postings you have viewed on this thread. I read in one of the postings that the spirit of God did not dwell in Old Testament prophets. I need some guidance on this. In the OT I see examples of what appear to me to be God's indwelling, or, maybe these are visits? Here are some examples: King Nebuchadnezzar says of Daniel that the spirit of the holy gods is in you. Dan 4:8,9,18 Dan 5:11,14 More examples: Gen 41:38, Exodus 31:3, Exodus 35:31, Numbers 24:2, 1 Sam 10:10, 1 Sam 11:6, 1 Sam 19:20,23, 1 Sam 16:13, 2 Chr 15:2, 2 Chr 24:20, Job 33:4, Eze 11:24, Isa 48:16, Isa 61:1, Eze 11:5. This also leads me to a couple of other question (which I'm sure have already been adressed on the forum. I am going to do a "quick search"). 1)When sin(s) was committed in the OT, were they (Abraham, Moses, David, etc...) "erased" "remembered no more" before the actual shedding of Jesus blood because they had faith of the promise, or, where they, as I have heard some say, visited by Jesus after He was risen and then taken to a place prepared for them? 2) Where did they go before the sacrifice (the shedding of the blood) was made for the forgiveness of sins? Was a different place than "His rest"? Side note for In the Andes and McGracer: Bretheren, This is not a challenge to any postings be either of you. Just a display of my lack of knowledge and eagerness to learn more about God's word. Thank You in advance my Brother, Cyclist I will bless the Lord at all times! His praise shall continually be in my mouth! |

206 | Is baptism necessary for salvation? | Acts 10:48 | Cyclist | 53918 | ||
Grace and Truth, Please forgive me if I misunderstood your bold writing. Further more, since I had nothing interesting or important to offer in my reply to your post regarding baptism, I should have just "kept my mouth (keyboard in this case) shut". Please forgive me if I've offended you in any way Grace and Truth. I will withdraw from this discussion. God bless you! Cyclist I will bless the Lord at all times! His praise shall continually be in my mouth! |

Hank, Agreed! One can conduct a search in the forum on baptism and learn all of the pros and cons, and , scripture references from A to Z. There is nothing left to be said. In fact, in one of the posts it says something to the effect "let's just agree to disagree and go on" (Did not want to take time to look through all of the posts to get it word for word).

Grace and Truth, The Lord is my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear! The Lord is the strength in my life, of whom shall I be afraid! Praise the Lord for His loving kindness! Praise the Lord! The above has nothing to do with the subject of your post, I just enjoy giving my Father prasie and glory and honor at the beginning of my postings. Point made and taken on baptism! Please don't yell anymore. God bless you, Cyclist I will bless the Lord at all times! His praise shall continually be in my mouth! |

McGracer, All praise and glory and honor be to God our Father! His mercy endures forever! From the rising of the sun to it's going down, I will praise the Lord! I do not represent all readers, but, I wanted to send you a note to say Thank You for taking time to post your clarification. I read through some of your postings, well done! Again, welcome! I look forward to reading more of your postings, and, sharing with you on the forum. Cyclist I will bless the Lord at all times! His praise shall continually be in my mouth! |

Mc Gracer, You write: "He implied that the gospels are the words of Christ and that the rest of the New Testament are the words of mere apostles and men." I do not see this implication in his posting. You also write: "We should know what we are talking about and be able to back it up with scripture before we label someone else's view as "Bull!" (which Emmaus has done)." Again, I STRONGLY earge you to read at least some of Emmaus' postings before you question his knowledge of scripture. I agree that using the term, or, word "Bull" in this case could have been out of line, and, actually this matter is really none of my business, not trying to back-pedal just stating a fact, but, does labeling someone's view as "ignorant", oh, you meant "lack of knowledge" really help or does it just stir up more contention. Prov 6:16-19 There are six things which the LORD hates, Yes, seven which are an abomination to Him:..........And one who spreads strife among brothers. Let it not be said of you and I my brother. Finally, forgive me McGracer and please let me start over if you will. Welcome to the forum. I have been a part of it since February 2002 and LOVE IT! I have grown more in these last 5 months than I have in 20 years! The children of God that are part of this forum are wonderful! If I might suggest, and keep in mind this is my own opinion, that you use the "quick search"(upper right)on any subject and read prior postings by other authors, especially; Mommapbs, Hank, Ray, EdB, Tim Moran, Searcher, Markarios, and Prayon. Not saying that these folks are "better" than any other, but I have found them to be blessed by God with knowledge of the scriptures. God bless you, and, again WELCOME to the forum! In the love of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, Cyclist I will bless the Lord at all times! His praise shall continually be in my mouth! |

In the Andes and McGracer, Praise be to God our Father and His Son Jesus Christ to whom all power has been given in Heaven and earth! Just a note, please keep in mind that I am no expert, to say that I am so very THANKFUL for the gospels! Most of the scripture verses that were quoted to me by the person who led my to Jesus were from the 4 gospels. McGracer, You write to Emmaus: "Therefore, to insist that the Gospels have primacy over the rest of NT scripture displays your ignorance (not an insult, but a lack of knowledge)" Let me tell you that even though you say you did not mean this as an insult, I viewed it that way. You have been part of this forum a whole 4 days. I suggest McGracer that you "click" on the author "Emmaus" and view ALL POSTINGS BY THIS AUTHOR and then post, as I'm sure you will, an apology on the comment about Emmaus' ignorance, or lack of knowledge as you say it. My dear brother Emmaus, I am so thankful for you. I have read as many of your posts as time has aloud me and have learned much. Thank you for being part of this forum, and, the family of God. Many bleesings to you Emmaus! In Christ Jesus, Cyclist I will bless the Lord at all times! His praise shall continually be in my mouth! |

214 | Is God selfish? | Rom 9:20 | Cyclist | 53798 | ||
Greeting CURIOUS! This is the day that the Lord has made! I will rejoice and be glad in it! Please forgive me for this short answer but I've been very busy. Not that I could give the best answer to your question, there are others on this forum who I consider to be my elders and give very, very helpful answers, but, I noticed that an answer was not yet submitted to you. I don't know about you but I am kind of impatient and look for a quick answer, so, here you go. Verse 20 especially Rom 9:11 for though the twins were not yet born and had not done anything good or bad, so that God's purpose according to His choice would stand, not because of works but because of Him who calls, Rom 9:12 it was said to her, "THE OLDER WILL SERVE THE YOUNGER." Rom 9:13 Just as it is written, "JACOB I LOVED, BUT ESAU I HATED." Rom 9:14 What shall we say then? There is no injustice with God, is there? May it never be! Rom 9:15 For He says to Moses, "I WILL HAVE MERCY ON WHOM I HAVE MERCY, AND I WILL HAVE COMPASSION ON WHOM I HAVE COMPASSION." Rom 9:16 So then it does not depend on the man who wills or the man who runs, but on God who has mercy. Rom 9:17 For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, "FOR THIS VERY PURPOSE I RAISED YOU UP, TO DEMONSTRATE MY POWER IN YOU, AND THAT MY NAME MIGHT BE PROCLAIMED THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE EARTH." Rom 9:18 So then He has mercy on whom He desires, and He hardens whom He desires. Rom 9:19 You will say to me then, "Why does He still find fault? For who resists His will?" Rom 9:20 On the contrary, who are you, O man, who answers back to God? The thing molded will not say to the molder, "Why did you make me like this," will it? Rom 9:21 Or does not the potter have a right over the clay, to make from the same lump one vessel for honorable use and another for common use? Rom 9:22 What if God, although willing to demonstrate His wrath and to make His power known, endured with much patience vessels of wrath prepared for destruction? Rom 9:23 And He did so to make known the riches of His glory upon vessels of mercy, which He prepared beforehand for glory, Many blessings to you in Christ Jesus my Lord!

Emmaus, Praise be to the Lord our God! His mercy endures forever! I give thanks to the Lord daily for salvation through Jesus Christ! Praise be to the Lord our God! Thank you for the response to my question. Emmaus, I looked in your personal profile for an e-mail address, and, I understand if you do not want to divulge it. I would like to see comments from you on a matter of great importance to a co-worker of mine. A close member of her family had "stillborn" twins. She was raised in a Catholic school and attends a Catholic church regularly. She has shared this situation with me and is very concerned because the infants were not baptised before burial. She said that she has learned since then from reading that she could have baptised them herself. Of course the obvious thing for her to do is consult with her priest, and, maybe she has. She is a person of very few words and always puts the needs of others before herself, sometimes to the point of being burdened by their needs. Frankly, I am suprised, but glad, that she shared her burden with me. I did a "search" in the forum on the subject of infants and their salvation but found no comments from you. From reading your postings, which I regard highly, I see that God has blessed you, as well as others in this forum, and I would like to see what God would show you in this matter. I too have difficulty in situations such as this that involve infants and children for there are times when I lay awake at night weeping for children. If you have commented on this subject in a previous posting and I have missed it please forgive me. My e-mail address is dave@gowithats.com. Thank you forum members for allowing me to post this personal situation. It is not my intent to disrupt the flow of postings that help us to better understand the word of God. I will not make a habit of it. Cyclist I will bless the Lord at all times! His praise shall continually be in my mouth! |

219 | Jephthah and the burnt offering? | Judges | Cyclist | 52617 | ||
Greetings Froum Members! I will sing of the mercies of the Lord forever! I will sing in my heart with gladness to my God who saved me! I will sing and praise my God in my heart all day long, and, continually give thanks to Him for His Son Jesus Christ, who thought not of Himself but gave Himself as a sacrifice for the sins of the world! Blessed be the name of the Lord forever! I hope all is well with everyone! I thank God for this Forum! I have really grown since I became involved! Bless each one of you! This is a repost of a question that I asked before. I am having difficulty with Judges 11. In order to save space I will not post the entire chapter. It is the story of Jephthah who appears to have offered his daughter as a burnt offering to the Lord. I have a study bible at home. The commentary states that Jephthah could not have offered his daughter as a burnt offering because God forbids it in the book of Numbers. The commentary goes on to say that the daughter was not allowed to marry and that was the sacrifice, however, verse 39 (At the end of two months she returned to her father, who did to her according to the vow which he had made;...). This, to me, says that he did indeed offer up his daughter as he vowed. Any comments on this? I need to get back to someone who is growing and I'm having trouble explaining this. If anyone could help I would greatly appreciate it? Always your brother in Christ, Cyclist I will bless the Lord at all times! His praise shall continually be in my mouth! |

220 | Was it acceptable to the Lord? | Judges | Cyclist | 52195 | ||
2nd Samuel 22 and forum members, I will continually praise the Lord my God! He has been merciful to me and, through His Son, saved me from death! Praise you Lord my God! Is there any confirmation in scripture, or, do you, or anyone else in the forum, think (scripture refrences to support your position either way please) that this sacrifice was acceptable to the Lord? It appears that it was not required of the Lord, and, isn't it recorded in the old testament that God tells His people that they are not to sacrifice humans (anyone know where this is)? I'm having trouble explaining this. Thank you! Cyclist I will bless the Lord at all times! His praise shall continually in my mouth! |
