201 | What is the glory of God? | Is 42:8 | TheCurtMan | 87382 | ||
In plain and simple terminology, I'm under the impression that God's glory, is His reputation, it's what He is know for; praises and honor for the things He has done, and are known for doing. "No", I don't think men has the tendicy of sharing God's glory, I think men has the tendicy of CLAIMING God's glory for themselves. Men are selfish; why share that which you can claim for yourselves?? One of the ways we tend to claim God's glory is by crediting ourselves for the ability of getting up in the morning and being able to provide for our households; not realizing, and in some cases not caring that it is through the Goodness of God; it is through the Love of God; it is through the Mercy of God that we were able to do this. Hey, we credit diet; excercise, and human wisdom for these things. What's God has to do with me waking up in the morning?? |

Radioman2, I can't arguee with you on that. Been there, done that, and got a t-shirt for it. A few years ago I had this crazy idea about evanglizing Jehovah Witnesses. I seriously got up on Saturday Mornings and went to the street corners where they were handing out Watchtower Mags. I had been dealing with these two men for awhile. One of them was deeply grounded in his belief, he wasn't going anywhere, or so that's the impression he gave me. His partner on the other hand started taking interest in some of the questions that were being asked. His partner couldn't get around the truth and he started to pick this up. The discussion was on the destruction of the world taken out of II Peter 3. I was consteadly being hit with; "No, you're wrong."; "It doesn't mean that."; the whole nine yards. I ended up loosing my cool and came outta my mouth with, "I don't care what the bible says, I'm telling you what it means!!" End of story. Everything said from that point was wasted energy. This is an open line of communication. You might not be able to get through to the person you're corrisponding with, but you have no idea how you're effecting the person who's following your conversation. |

204 | Attitudes or Beattitudes?? | Bible general Archive 1 | TheCurtMan | 87239 | ||
Good Morning Mommapbs, I thought a PeaceMaker was just that, one who kept the peace, it kinda goes hand in hand with loving you enemies, whatching your tongue and all that. However I could be wrong. If a PeaceMaker is one who shares Christ, then do you think it would be fair to say that a PeaceMaker is one who shares Christ with humility and in love?? Remember; if it's not done in love then it is in vain, I Cor. 13:1-2. Also, if there is an issue on the forum that might get one's feathers ruffled, do you personally think that it would be wise to take part of that discussion. What we say today, if not said correctly, we might end up apologizing for tomorrow. The CurtMan |

205 | Attitudes or Beattitudes?? | Bible general Archive 1 | TheCurtMan | 87236 | ||
Dear John, Thanks for your reply, I can't help but to feel that emotions are to be ruled, not the ruler. In other words we are suppose to rule our emotions, and not let our emotions rule us. When our Heavenly Father spoke on Humility, I personally got the feeling that He ment for us to be Humble and Loving towards one another INSPITE of our emotions. How many times have your emotions led you down the wrong road?? My wife and I are walking down the street arguing like cats and dogs. Some creep jumps outta the ally and beats her till she's black and blue. I do nothing. Finally the Lord calls me home. I have to answer for my actions while here on earth. He ask me why didn't I keep my marriage vow to protect my wife the day she was hospitalized. What am I going to say to Him John, that I was mad with her?? It's suppose to be about OBEDIENCE John. Obedience inspite of our emotions to the Father. So do you think that I'm wrong on this one or what?? |

206 | Disease or Bad Personal Choice?? | Bible general Archive 1 | TheCurtMan | 87093 | ||
Prazn, Listen, I owe you an apology. I got you confused with someone called, 'Angellightboy'. I received something from him that gave me the impression that he was all for homosexuality. Within our first communication together, he implied that same sex marrigae were OK, if they loved one another. Which sparked my reply about Love rejoices not in iniquity, but in truth. Somewhere in the middle of this you steped in, I lost track, and thus the reason for my apology. I truley am sorry, and ask for your forgiveness. I honestly can't say how I would respond if someone told me that they thought I was all for the homosexual agenda. |

207 | Attitudes or Beattitudes?? | Not Specified | TheCurtMan | 87092 | ||
I have a question regarding the difference of opinion on certain issues. What's up with the attitudes?? We're suppose to share the Word with Love and Humility. We're not going to always agree with our brothers or sisters. For some of us, our Spiritual Education is on a lower level than others, and some of the replies I've read are nothing short than anti-biblical. But is that reason enough to become upset with one another?? Whatever happen to Blessed are the Peace Makers?? I'm under the impression that scripture says that if we have fault with our brethern, then reconciliation should be made quickly before the problem escalates. I personally believe that within that commandment, reconciliation should be made rather we are at fault or not. Keeping the peace is more important than Pride. I've been reading alot of the notes being passed between what are suppose to be mature christians, and I sense hostility, with very little apology. Jesus didn't give up on the lady at the well because she just didn't get it at first, neither did He give up on Nicodems, and I don't know if he ever understood at all, but in neither case did Jesus turn around and refuse to stop trying, or blow them outta the water because they just didn't get what He was saying. And before anyone wants to go and get all technical on these examples, their just that, examples. The point being, lets choose our words a little more carefully; keep our tempers in check, and if necessary pray before we give our responces. Remember: 1. The truth is suppose to be shared in Love and with Humility. 2. Anything that is not done in love is done in vain. And 3. There are a number of mature christians on this site, lets act like it. I'm crucified daily off this site by the world, I do not need to be, nor witness crucifixion on this site by my brothers and sisters oover something like a differenc of opinion. The CurtMan |

209 | Am I Wrong?? | Bible general Archive 1 | TheCurtMan | 87086 | ||
It appears to me that this answer was taken from Romans 1:21-32. I've been encountering different aspects of this verse since I've been at this site. I'm sure you might know this already, but for me I'm just finding out how close we are at overturning the 'Row vs. Wade' decision. Apparently the woman has become a Christian. Has been one for awhile. In order to get this decision overturned, it requires legal actions on her part which as I understand she is ready, willing, and able. I believe that a timetable have already been established. I also believe that this will be met with a great deal of resistance. I'm soliciting your prayers in this matter if you don't mind. Your's and everyother Christian who might read this. OK?? |

Hey, Thanks for the positive attitude. My system at home has been malfunction for awhile now. The only way I can get to this site is on the job. Yesterday, after I got off work, I went home and attacked my library like there was no today. I made all kinds of notes from John MacAuthur; Matthew Henry, and William MacDonald. This morning I couldn't find them. Rushing for time, I bought the whole commentary. After I said what I had to say, I rechecked some of the Notes for yesterday. That's when I encountered the one from Radioman. Yesterday alot of what he said went over my head like a 747 bound for England, today it all made since. I also encountered the one from you. My first thought was, "I could've stayed home in bed a little longer." I guess working 13 hr. days will eventually catch up with a person. Then I noticed I misspelled your name. I guessed at that point that I was going to have a lone day. |

I'm looking for additional information on the functions of the church. From Acts 2:42-47, I'm able to determine that the functions of the church include TEACHING; which in my opinion would include evangelism; LEARNING, our Heavenly Father's expections; CARING for one another, in ALL aspects of the matter. We are our brother's and sister's keepers. FELLOWSHIP, something we should not forsake ourselves of; and WORSHIP. Can anything be added to this and supported with bible passages?? |

It is now 10:am in the Nations Capital, and I owe you a serious apology. I just went through the whole nine yards of an explanation, only to discover now that you didn't need it. I'm sorry for wasting your time. Me, I did learn something new on the issue. |

PART 2 They had heard the gospel of the grace of God. They were not in darkness concering the way of salvation. Judas Iscariot had been enlightened but he rejected the light. They TASTED THE HEAVENLY GIFT. The Lord Jesus is the heavenly Gift. They had tasted of Him but had never received Him by a definite act of faith. It is possible to taste without eating or drinking. When men offered wine mixed with gall to Jesus on the cross, He tasted it, but He would not drink it-Matt.27:34. It is not enough to taste Christ; unless we eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, that is, unless we truly receive Him as Lord and Savior, we have no life in us-John 6:53. They had BECOME PARTAKERS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. Before we jump to the conclusion that this necessarily implies conversion, we should remember that the Holy Spirit carries on a preconversion ministry in men's lives. He sanctifies unbelievers, putting them in a position of external privilege. He convicts unbelievers of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment. He leads men to repentance and points them to Christ as their only hope. Men may thus partake of the Holy Spirit's benefits without being indwelt by Him." RadioMan2 did an interesting post on this very topic yesterday. His perspective included view-points from John MacAuthor. John MacAuthor and Willian MacDonald viewpoints parrallel. Both tends to indicate that these verses are not referring to loosing one's Eternal Salvation. Therefore these verses are not contradicting scripture that tends to indicate that absolutely; positively nothing can seperate us from the love of God-Romans 8:35-39. So what do you think??

PART 1 Good Morning Mommabps, It is now 9:am in the Nations Capital. You might want to get a cup of coffee because this one might take a minute. I've done alot of reading on Hebrews 6:4-5 and I came up with something clear and simple. It's taken from the 'Believer's Bible Commentary' by William MacDonald, he said, "We come now to the heart of the warning against apostasy. It applies to a class of people whom it is IMPOSSIBLE to restore again to repentance. Apparently these people had once repented, though no mention is made of their faith in Christ. Now it is clearly stated that a renewed repentance is impossible. Who are these people? The answer is given in verses 4 and 5. In examining the great privileges which they enjoyed, it should be noticed that all these things could be true of the unsaved. It is never clearly stated that they had been born again. Neither is any mention made of such essentials as saving faith, redemption by His blood, or eternal life. They had once been enlightened. They had heard the gospel of the grace of God. |

216 | Disease or Bad Personal Choice?? | Bible general Archive 1 | TheCurtMan | 86977 | ||
Well not realy because now I'm confused. If Love rejoices in the truth, and the truth is as we know it in scriptures, scriptures indicate that same sex marriages is a big no no. So how can you be supportive of it?? That is unless you're going to tell me I misunderstood your first response. I got the impression that you thought that it was OK, as long as they loved one another. |

Isn't this suppose to happen to a degree. Doesn't scripture indicate that this world system of things will continue to degenerate until a spicific time period?? I'm not saying that this is an excuse to shriek our christian responsability, but it is stipulated in the bible isn't it?? | ||||||

I would like to take the time to thank everyone who responded to this post. I've learned a great deal. When Christians come together on one issue, there is a great deal of information to be shared, and different perpectives can be seen. I can't say that I agree with them all, but it still makes for an educational experience for me. But isn't this what christians are suppose to do anyway, help one another with the understanding of Word?? Thanks, The CurtMan |

219 | Disease or Bad Personal Choice?? | Bible general Archive 1 | TheCurtMan | 86921 | ||
Granted, I DO need prayer, so maybe we should both pray for spiritual wisdom. I'm not condemning Love, I just get slightly irritated when it appears that we accept the part of the bible that fits us, and trash everything else we don't like. The bible's perspective on the sin-Homosexuality- is clear. It's an abomination unto the Lord. The bible's perspective on the sinner-Homosexuals-is also clear. Love the person, hate the sin. "Love rejocies not in inquity, but the truth.." My question still stands, "Whoes truth, God's or Man's??" If it's God's truth, He has an awful lot to say on the issue, and none of it looks to promising for the sin itself. If it's Man's truth, then all we're going to do is justify the wrong that we do so it won't be wrong, INSPITE of what God's truth says. Would you mind if we discussed what some of those verses mean?? |
