21 | Cannot Satan counterfeit fruit? | Matt 7:21 | Aslans_Friend | 187260 | ||
Yes, but the fruit will be rotten. | ||||||
22 | Has God's Spirit been received? | Matt 7:21 | Aslans_Friend | 187259 | ||
You parents-if your children ask for a loaf of bread, do you give them a stone instead? Or if they ask for a fish, do you give them a snake? Of course not! If you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give good gifts to those who ask him. Matthew 7:9-11 | ||||||
23 | "If"? | Matt 7:21 | Aslans_Friend | 187255 | ||
Of course salvation is conditional. Your assurance is in your relationship with your Father. You are assured of your Father's love regardless of your performance. However, there is a warning in Hebrews. Have you entirely forgotten the encouraging words God spoke to you, his children? He said, "My child, don't ignore it when the Lord disciplines you, and don't be discouraged when he corrects you. For the Lord disciplines those he loves, and he punishes those he accepts as his children. As you endure this divine discipline, remember that God is treating you as his own children. Who ever heard of a child who was never disciplined? If God doesn't discipline you as he does all of his children, it means that you are illegitimate and are not really his children after all. Since we respect our earthly fathers who disciplined us, should we not all the more cheerfully submit to the discipline of our heavenly Father and live forever? Hebrews 12:5-9 Fear of the future is not godly, fear is the opposite of faith. Fear involves punishment, faith appropriates forgiveness through the provision of Christ. |

24 | babtisim and two places when you die | John 3:5 | Aslans_Friend | 187166 | ||
Baptism is not a requirement for salvation. It is an identifier to the world and the spiritual realm that your soul has been purchased and belongs to God. Why any believer would procrastinate the procuring of such a blessed covering, I cannot fathom. As for two places, according to Hebrews 9:27 "It is destined that each person dies only once and after that comes judgment." Hope this helps. |

25 | Light in the darkness | John 1:5 | Aslans_Friend | 187161 | ||
Jesus is the Light of the World. The world was made dark by the fall of man, but John recognized Jesus as the light. Ray C. Stedman says in WHO IS JESUS? : It (the introduction in the gospel of John) focuses on the central fact of Christian faith: Christianity is not a philosophy; it is about a Person, and that Person is central to all Christian faith. To take Jesus out of Christianity would be like taking numbers out of mathematics, like taking doctors out of medicine, or like trying to think of daylight without the sun. Jesus is absolutely central to Christian faith. That is what constitutes Christianity as a unique religion. All the other great religions of earth center upon the teaching, the ideas, the philosophies that are represented in them, but not Christianity. It centers upon a marvelous, beautiful, remarkable, astonishing Person. That is the Light of the world. |

26 | what is the darkness | John 1:5 | Aslans_Friend | 187158 | ||
The darkness is the spiritual obscura that would relegate truth to something less than it is, to relegate the devine to a natural, or at least, a less than devine perception to created entities. Darkness is imperfection with purpose not imposed by devine decree. |

27 | Perfection? | Matt 7:21 | Aslans_Friend | 187152 | ||
By faith in the Work of Christ. | ||||||
28 | Are tithes n offerings required nowadays | Matt 6:19 | Aslans_Friend | 187151 | ||
Don't store up treasures here on earth, where they can be eaten by moths and get rusty, and where thieves break in and steal. Store your treasures in heaven, where they will never become moth-eaten or rusty and where they will be safe from thieves. Wherever your treasure is, there your heart and thoughts will also be. Matthew 6:19-21 This is Jesus' word on giving, in my opinion. The Israelites saw 10 percent as the minimum firstfruits that belonged to God, anything less was robbing from God, even by God's word to them (and us, if you will) (Mal 3:8 Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings.) Required? No, however, If you give, you will receive. Your gift will return to you in full measure, pressed down, shaken together to make room for more, and running over. Whatever measure you use in giving-large or small-it will be used to measure what is given back to you. Luke 6:38 |

29 | Do Ghost's exist? | Luke 24:39 | Aslans_Friend | 187148 | ||
There are many spirits that do not need a body to interact with the corporal. Human spirits, however, need their 'earth suits' to interact with the temporal realm. There are incidences of apparent interaction with departed spirits that would suggest that evil spirits like to masarade as them to deceive the living. We are told by Isaiah in Isaiah 8:19 Why are you trying to find out the future by consulting mediums and psychics? Do not listen to their whisperings and mutterings. Can the living find out the future from the dead? Why not ask your God? |
||||||
30 | Is flesh existing in heaven now? | Luke 24:39 | Aslans_Friend | 187145 | ||
My question is, why would it concern you? For example, it used to concern me that Christ rose bodily from the earth into the heavens, even though I "knew" that heaven was just a state of being all around the space-time continuum. If we have to understand everything, we will be double-minded. Don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong in establishing truth, as long as the criteria is founded upon the Word and not the philosophy of man which changes with the wind. I also believe that Christ Jesus is flesh and blood in heaven at this momment in time. Certainly the creator of heavens and earth can sustain the body which is resurrected, or is this not what you had in mind? |
||||||
31 | explain Jesus state of being | Luke 24:39 | Aslans_Friend | 187142 | ||
He was in a state that the disciples could relate to at that time; a supernatural-physical state. They saw Him as Jesus, the man; not the transcendent Christ, the Word. | ||||||
32 | Has what Jesus declared changed? | 1 Cor 12:9 | Aslans_Friend | 187140 | ||
Hbr 13:8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever. If anyone changed, it was the church (individual believers). "But when I, the Son of Man, return, how many will I find who have faith?" Luke 18:8 |
||||||
33 | Again I ask why do we try the spirits? | Matt 12:31 | Aslans_Friend | 187136 | ||
We are told to try the spirits for our own protection. | ||||||
34 | IS JESUS AND GOD THE SAME PERSON? | Romans | Aslans_Friend | 187069 | ||
Jesus is God the Son in the flesh. God the Son is eternal and is the Word of God. John 1:1,2 In the beginning the Word already existed. He was with God, and he was God. He was in the beginning with God. Jesus was the mediator because he was born of a virgin (received His genetic human identity from Mary) and God the Spirit (received his divine identity from God, therefore was sinless) He willfully took the sins of humanity upon himself and died a sinners death to mediate our pardon with a holy God. Hebrews 9:22 Without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness of sins. The Only Way. |
||||||
35 | is it possible to keep sinning and keep | Romans | Aslans_Friend | 187068 | ||
70 times 7 times a day. | ||||||
36 | saved | Matt 7:21 | Aslans_Friend | 187064 | ||
Yes. You are saved from Sin. (sin nature) By being baptised symbolically, you place your old man into the grave with Christ's burial, and rise up a new creation with Him in His resurrection. You are free to grow spiritually without the shackles of sin to bind you, but you must feed the new life by prayer, reading the word, and fellowship with other believers to keep that new life alive and growing. |
||||||
37 | Do the will of the Father to enter heave | Matt 7:21 | Aslans_Friend | 187063 | ||
If we are one in the spirit with the Father and the Son, we will do the works of the Father as He wills. John 6:28,29 Therefore they said to Him, "What shall we do, so that we may work the works of God?" Jesus answered and said to them, "This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He has sent." |
||||||
38 | Why do we try the Spirits? | Matt 12:31 | Aslans_Friend | 187058 | ||
The gifts of the Spirit can operate regardless of the presence of a spirit of error. 1 Corinthians is talking about the gifts. 1 John is talking about truth and error, a source of heresy for the church. (specifically, gnostic beliefs, I believe) |
||||||
39 | freedom from power of death do in life | Heb 2:14 | Aslans_Friend | 187053 | ||
It gives us courage when faced with physical danger, since we know that this life while in the body is only a temporary state. Our life is in Christ. | ||||||
40 | Experience assures salvation? | Matt 7:21 | Aslans_Friend | 187050 | ||
Too much going on in the head. Take that mind captive to Christ and trust in Him. Romans 10:8-10 "THE WORD IS NEAR YOU, IN YOUR MOUTH AND IN YOUR HEART"--that is, the word of faith which we are preaching, that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation. |
