21 | Christians Apostate Same As Anit-Christ? | 1 Tim 4:1 | Immanuelsown | 206436 | ||
bowler, I think the answer lies in (2Pet.2) whole chapter. and Luke (11:24-26) Apostasy: is the formal abandonment or renunciation of one's religion, especially if the motive is deemed unworthy. In a technical sense, as used sometimes by sociologists without the pejorative connotations of the word, the term refers to renunciation and criticism of, or opposition to one's former religion. One who commits apostasy is an apostate, or one who apostatises. The word derives from Greek, meaning a defection or revolt, from "away, apart", stasis, "standing". Apostasy: is generally not a self definition: very few former believers call themselves apostates and they generally consider this term to be a pejorative. Many religious movements consider it a vice (sin), a corruption of the virtueof piety in the sense that when piety fails, apostasy is the result. Many religious groups and even some states punish apostates. Apostates may be shunned by the members of their former religious group or worse. This may be the official policy of the religious group or may happen spontaneously, due in some sense to psycho-social factors as well. (Wikipedia) In Him Imm |

secret25, Found a couple you might be able to use, if you think about them, and how they can be applied for your purposes. Psalm 27:14 Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD. Psalm 31:24 Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the LORD. Psalm 119:28 My soul melteth for heaviness: strengthen thou me according unto thy word. Proverbs 31:17 She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms. Isaiah 35:3 Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees. Luke 22:32 But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren. Phillipans 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me .1 Peter 5:10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.

23 | Heb6:4-6 Loosing salvation or what? | Heb 6:4 | Immanuelsown | 207546 | ||
Gal. 5:1-8 This is talking about going back to follow the LAW. Thereby falling from Grace, and Faith in Christ. For where the Law is, is the knowledge of sin. It seems to me that anyone that would try to live there lives by the Law, would be acting out of Pride, feeling they could be better Christians by doing so. 2 Pet 2:20,22 But the context goes back to Vs. 6-19 they are examples of the entanglement. This is talking about going back into the things of the world, things we have forsaken, obtained forgiveness for. I think this example would fall under the category of Apostate. Either example shows a walking away from the life we have been called to, a life in the spirit. If we walk in the spirit, we will not fulfill the lusts of the flesh. John 10:28,29 Jesus says that no one can pluck them out, but it doesn't say we cant walk away. What about Judas? In Him Imm |

24 | Heb6:4-6 Loosing salvation or what? | Heb 6:4 | Immanuelsown | 207753 | ||
Beja, I haven't gone into any in depth study, I will just put it out there for the Forum to see and judge. I have been doing a lot of reading, and rereading on this question, what I now see is something, that has turned out to be obvious, but was hidden, until a short time ago. I guess it's a question of awareness. What I became aware of is the fact, Heb. 6:1. Starts with (THEREFORE). Would you ever start a sentence with (therefore,) unless you had already said something, that you wanted to emphasize? So I went back to Heb. 5 for the beginning of the thought.(context) He had just called them babes, in need of teaching! 5:11 to 6:8 turns out to be a chastisement of the Hebrews. An explanation of truth to them, so they would understand where, and in whom they stood. Read this passage with an attitude of frustration with a people, that he (Paul) had already travailed in birth for. Look at the entire book, I believe you could take 1:1 to 13:25 as one complete teaching. But 5:11 to 6:8 does not go with anything else in the book, he makes his remarks, then promptly goes right back to where he was before. Then in Heb.10:26-32 he says the same thing again. This appears to be an admonition to a people, that are wavering in their belief, and he is showing them the impossibility of it. I have always read the passage Heb. 6:4-6 as speaking of regenerate people, who become apostate. It was to me, the only logical explanation, to eternal security. Now my eternal security is more secure:-) I now believe he was explaining to them, just how secure they, truly were. In Him Imm |

25 | Do you know a way to get into the Bible? | Heb 8:10 | Immanuelsown | 206080 | ||
Hey Californiasurfin, To relate to you a short, testimony, witness. All Praise to GOD ! ! I was raised a Catholic. But when I got saved, I had never in my life, read a Bible before. This particular night, I started reading about 1 hr. before, in Gen. trying to read it like any other book, I realized I knew the stories, but felt there was more than just that. I had never prayed, except the prayers we were taught, and everyone recited. This particular night I Prayed, GOD gave me the words to pray, so He could answer them. I prayed, asking Him to open the Bible to me, "give me the understanding I said". Then something strange happened, I heard myself praying, "Dear God you know I don't understand this book, you had it written, by your Holy Spirit". "God please give me understanding, I want to be close to you, help me". Right then it was as though God spoke to me. In answer He said in my spirit, start reading in the (New Test, only), read EVERY short book, they will give you a greater overall knowledge, you will be able to read complete thoughts. That night, God gave me understanding, and the beginning of knowledge. His Holy Spirit, WILL TEACH YOU if you let HIM. My advice is to read, don't complicate it for yourself, Pray before you open your Bible, asking God to give you Knowledge, Understanding, and Wisdom, then when you start reading EXPECT GOD to answer your PRAYER. "A BLESSING ON YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD". In Him Imm |

26 | How Far Are We To Suffer For Christ? | 1 Pet 4:16 | Immanuelsown | 206851 | ||
bowler, It appears, the suffering, you are referring to, is only because we are Christians, either suffering because of our belief in Christ, or taking the wrong, by turning the other cheek, and suffering a wrong done to us. Christians in either of these circumstances, should understand the situation, accepting it.(Happy they are). People that would see, a possible dramatic change in their lifestyle, before becoming a Christian, would I'm sure feel a sense of remorse, or loss. They would not understand until later, what the Lord had done for them, then they would feel differently, about the loss they might have suffered. But that would not qualify as suffering for Christ. 1 Peter 4:13 But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy. Matthew 5:10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 5:44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; John 15:20 Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also. 1 Peter 2:19 For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully. 1 Peter 3:14 But and if ye suffer for righteousness' sake, happy are ye: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled; 1 Peter 3:18 For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit: In Him Imm |
