203 | alcohol scripturally wrong? | Eph 5:18 | hopalong | 203683 | ||
Personally, I enjoy a cold bottle of beer at the end of the day and praise God for His providence. Wine or any other alcholic beverage is an not evil in itself... it is the man who abuses God's gift that does evil! Hoppy |

Hi Doc, I worship at a churh that serves bread and wine as the elements of communion. Jesus Himself made water into wine. I think that you went a bit off the mark in using Ephesians 5:18 in your answer...the question was "Is it scripturally wrong to drink alcohol?"...not is it ok to get drunk. Hoppy |

206 | alcohol scripturally wrong? | Eph 5:18 | hopalong | 203763 | ||
Dear Hank, Though we disagree ,I do appreciate your for your thoughts on our topic. I believe that we are in ageement that overindulgence (alcohol, tobacco products etc.) may lead to serious medical problems. I am certain that those who abuse God's gifts will suffer for their rebellious refusal to heed His laws. Alcoholism is NOT a disease, It is abondage to sin. No where in the Bible does God condemn men to Hell for having a physical disease...Gluttony is a sin, are we to ban meat and bread and allow only veggies? My plea is for moderation in all things beit beer, wine,bread, or meat. I pray that I will never relinquish the freedom that Christ gave me as a child of God. Alcohol is not evil...but those who willingly twist God's commands and abuse His statutes will be undone in the end. Hoppy (a some what unfortunate user name for the Topic under discussion(:- ) |

208 | how do i get control of my will? | Colossians | hopalong | 207837 | ||
Welcome to the Army of God! make no mistake, we are at war against the world,the flesh and the devil.! Our enemy knows our weak spots and he uses them to break down our resistance. I know , because he has used them, not only on you, but on each and every person who has made Christ his king. As in all wars, there are those who are wounded (thats the bad news), the good news is that those who have been called by The KING, are never killed! Now, I am an old soldier, and I have been wound more times than I care to think about. Nevertheless, my advice is , don' t don't fall for the same trick twice. the enemy of your King will use the same tactics over and over again until they no longer work. His favorite temptation he used against our first parents in the garden. Which was to plant into their minds a doubt as to what God has said ! In the case of sexual sin, he says "whats wrong with looking at beautiful women on the internet? How can that be a sin? afterall, did't God create these women? It's a scam! Run as fast as you can to the Rock of your salvation where the enemy of your soul cannot you! There fortify yourself by learning how much your king loves you. PS don't sweat the smoking. It certainly is a bad habit, but it is not a sin. Fight the Good Fight, Hopalong |

209 | Can we say Christs return is imminent? | 2 Thess 2:3 | hopalong | 187779 | ||
Howdy M, I am of the bunch that are known as amillenianists. Our eschotological position holds that the church has been in the period called the "Tribulation" since the Ascension. Therefore, our understanding of the scripture allows us to expect the "Second Coming" to occur at any moment. 1. Distinctive Features and Emphases: a. The "a" millennial (literally meaning "no" millennium) position is the eschatological view of historic Catholic, Lutheran and Reformed Christianity. It would be my educated guess that about two-thirds of the Christian family espouse an amillennial eschatology. The amillennial position is as well the position of the vast majority of Reformed and Lutheran theologians. The position portrayed in these lectures is the Reformed understanding of amillennialism, which is better understood as "present" millennialism [or "realized" millennialism], since Reformed eschatology argues for a real, present, though "invisible" non-spatial millennium. b. Amillennialists insist that the promises made to national Israel, David and Abraham, in the OT are fulfilled by Christ and the Church during this age, which is the millennium, that is the entire period of time between the two advents of our Lord. The "thousand years" are therefore symbolic of the entire inter-advental age. Satan is bound by Christ's victory over him and the establishment of the kingdom of God via the preaching of the gospel, and Satan is no longer free to deceive the nations, through the presence of Christ is reigning in heaven during this period with the martyrs who come out of the great tribulation. At the end of the millennial age, Christ returns in judgement of all men. The general resurrection occurs, final judgement takes place for all men and women, and a new Heaven and Earth are established. C. In most forms of amillennialism, immediately before the return of Christ, Satan is unbound, there is a great apostasy, and a time of unprecedented satanically inspired evil. This last Satanic gasp and subsequent rebellious activity is destroyed by our Lord at his return. (http://www.fivesolas.com/esc_chrt.htm) Come quickly Lord Jesus! Hoppy |

211 | When did the millenium start? | 2 Thess 2:3 | hopalong | 188002 | ||
Howdy M, 1 John 3:8 .... The Son of God appeared for this purpose, to destroy the works of the devil. Our Lord and Savior accomplished all that His Father had sent Him to accomplish. With His last breath, He proclaimed "it is finished." His Ressurection from the dead marked a new era in Creation called the Millenium. Because my work will not permit me to answer your Q at length. might I reccomend you take a look into a short article on our topic? Google Brian D.Vos The millenium Well Pard, I must... Hopalong |

212 | Was the Holy Spirit present in OT? | 2 Thess 2:6 | hopalong | 203394 | ||
For what does the Scripture say? "And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness." 4Now to the one who works, his wage is not reckoned as a favor, but as what is due. 5But to the one who does not work, but believes in Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is reckoned as righteousness, 6just as David also speaks of the blessing upon the man to whom God reckons righteousness apart from works: 7"Blessed are those whose lawless deeds have been forgiven, and whose sins have been covered. 8"Blessed is the man whose sin the Lord will not take into account" (Rom. 4:3-8). Dear Searcher, Thanks for brining up this question. Jesus taught "John 3:5 Jesus answered, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom of God." Therefore my conclusion is that...Yes, The Holy Sprit was not only present, but active in raising to spiritual life those whom The Father had chosen to be His own. |

It is a shame that christians cannot be trusted to handle the WORD. Tim 4:6 In pointing out these things to the brethren, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, constantly nourished on the words of the faith and of the sound doctrine which you have been following. |

215 | How can we be sure we are right? | 1 Tim 6:3 | hopalong | 188136 | ||
Hi M, you ask... 1.Is there therefore only gospel/doctrine that we should abide in? Ans: the doctrine that is found between the covers of your Bible! That doctrine and that doctrine alone! 2. With so many doctrines/denominations, all professing to be right, how can we be sure that we are in Gods will/doctrine/gospel? By checking out the Scriptural foundation which the denomination provides. Praise God for, has not left us alone, but has endowed us with the gift of Holy Spirit. Gen 40:8 Then they said to him, "We have had a dream and there is no one to interpret it." Then Joseph said to them, "Do not interpretations belong to God? PRAY! Pray without ceasing, not relying on our own ability but on He that has the power to enlighten our blind eyes, and to show us the magnificent beauty and truth which He has blessed us to understand. God bless, Hopalong PS: I don't know of any truly "christian" denomination that proclaims that they are infallible in their interpretation. |

Apostles Creed The Apostles Creed is a description of the basic principles of Christian Faith. There are theologians that believe that those principles were written by the original twelve Apostles on the tenth day following the ascension of Christ into heaven. Other theories teach that the Creed was in fact developed later, in A.D. 215. In its original form, the document was used and recited during baptismal ceremonies for the churches of Rome. It became to be known as the Roman Symbol, and displayed in a question and answer format, with believers affirming their acceptance of the Creed. The authorship of the creed has been discussed by theologians and debated for centuries. While it did not originate within the Catholic Church, many scholars agree that the Statement of faith developed as a baptismal confession of faith, which continues to be used in most Western churches.
