21 | When are we saved? | Hebrews | jg8ball | 1193 | ||
As usuall, very well said. Thank you again. I like your term "baby on Daddy's knee". I use the term "Sunday Christians" in a similar context. We should always be striving to grow in our faith. For me, it helps to see and hear the opinions of others - expecially conflicting ones. Sometimes the views of others show me where I'm wrong, sometimes they show me that both could be correct, and sometimes they cause me to get a deeper and better understanding of what I believed because I spend more time looking for verses (trying to keep them in context) that prove or disprove. I just need to work on not getting so frustrated. |

22 | Is there an age of accountability? | Bible general Archive 1 | jg8ball | 1183 | ||
Joseph, it looks like you could use a little help. I've tangled with these guys plenty of times and they get pretty irate when you show them scripturally that there interpretations don't hold up. Back to your question about the age of accountablity, I had not realized that the Calvins believed that children were not saved. If this is true it's rather sad they could actually believe this. I always thought God was a loving God. I really need to get home (I'm late for dinner) but I will try to investigate this topic tonight. I just wanted to let you know that you are not alone. There is one verse that Jesus tells us to have faith like the children but want to research it more to make sure it applies. By the way, JVH0212 really gets upset when you use the term Calvin. He says he is not a Calvin but I found he does believe more in the things Calvins believe verses the Arminians. I believe more in the Arminians beliefs but admit there are some Calvinistic beliefs that are sound. After all they do believe Jesus died for our sins. I guess I use the terms too loosly but find them handy to refer to one belief versus another. Ok, I'm real late now. later. |

23 | Snatch? | Hebrews | jg8ball | 1179 | ||
Thanks for your response charis. I am taking the point that it is possible for a saved person to renounce their salvation while my friend bjanko believes that would be impossible. I've asked bjanko how he would interpret 2 Peter 2:20, but as of yet, he refuses to. I would also like to hear your interpretation though. I've read many of your postings and respect your opinions. |
||||||
24 | I agree with you 100 percent. But... | Hebrews | jg8ball | 1130 | ||
I must disagree with you. I think a person could renounce their salvation - although I don't know why one would. Please see my posting to JVH0212 starting "Sorry JVH0212, but I can't ..." for biblical references |

25 | COULD A BELIEVER LOSE THEIR SALVATION? | Hebrews | jg8ball | 1129 | ||
Yes, a person could renounce their salvation - although I don't know why one would. Please see my posting to JVH0212 starting "Sorry JVH0212, but I can't ..." for biblical references |

26 | ...by His grace, right? | 2 Peter | jg8ball | 1119 | ||
Who's other grace is there? Thanks. | ||||||
27 | What is Annals of the Kings of Israel? | 2 Kings | jg8ball | 990 | ||
You probably won't find too much on them because they were never found. As for what they are, the bible is pretty clear about that. They are listings of the Kings of Israel and their events. | ||||||
28 | did the wine from the water make you dr | Bible general Archive 1 | jg8ball | 989 | ||
I believe that the wine of today is generally stronger than it was in those days but the Bible doesn't really say how strong it was. It does say though that it was the finest wine. |

29 | did the cannaanites become black | Gen 4:15 | jg8ball | 782 | ||
The verse you referenced is incorrect. If you are referring to the mark put on Cain, son of Adam, then this has nothing to do with the Canaanites. The bible does not specify what the mark was. It could have been a mark on the forehead, on the hand, it could have been a overall skin color change (black, white, purple, green or whatever). No one can seriously say for sure. I would highly doubt though that the black race (or, more correctly, group - after all we are all of the human race) of people were cursed. If you are talking about Gen 9:25 when Noah cursed Canaan (his grandson) which later his descendents became the canaanites, the Bible does not mention what the curse was other than he will be slaves to his brothers. If you are somehow interpreting that because they were made slaves, they are black then you have assumed way too much. |

30 | Unbaptized children | Bible general Archive 1 | jg8ball | 723 | ||
Baptism has not nothing to do with getting into heaven. The only way to make it is to truely believe that Jesus died for your sins and was resurrected. Once you believe this, baptism in an appropriate next step as an outward symbol of your faith. Children (and I believe mentally handicapped adults) on the otherhand that are not able to understand what it means to believe go to heaven. | ||||||
31 | How long did they remain after eating. | Genesis | jg8ball | 683 | ||
Scripture makes it sound like God evicted them pretty quickly after eating from the Tree of Knowledge. | ||||||
32 | How long did Adam and Eve live in Eden | Genesis | jg8ball | 682 | ||
I can think of two posiblities. 1) Less than 128 years (and probably not too much less than that). When Adam and Eve left Eden, they had Abel and Cain. When Adam was 130 Years old, they had Seth. 2) Who really knows? It could be that they didn't start counting Adam and Eve's age until after they left Eden (after all they didn't age in Eden) so it could be they had Seth 180 years after leaving and had abel the first year upon being forced out. I tend to believe the second option but really can't say for sure. |

33 | Dwell with your wife with understanding? | 1 Pet 3:7 | jg8ball | 678 | ||
In my opinion, Peter is just telling the husband and wife to live a loving and faithful life. Specifically, he's telling the husband that the wife (keep in mind the time period this was written and how women were generally treated) is not as versed in the ways of the world and of God (at least publically), and she is not able to "bring home the bacon" like the husband is, but the husband should be understanding and realize that she is equal to the husband when it comes to the grace of life. | ||||||
34 | Upon death do we go directly to Heaven? | Luke 23:43 | jg8ball | 677 | ||
Jesus told the thief on the cross that he will be in paradise today. |
||||||
35 | Do those in heaven know what's happening | Heb 12:1 | jg8ball | 672 | ||
I don't think that this was meant to be interpreted that way and since there are no other passages that mention that we are watched from Heaven (at least none that I am aware of), I would tend to interpret it more as way to mention all the great and faithfull people mentioned in the previous chapter. Although I don't think this verse talks about it, I am posting a question about a similar topic in reference to a tv show called "Crossing Over". |

36 | JESUS'S DEATH | NT general Archive 1 | jg8ball | 635 | ||
I believe that Jesus died for ALL humanity and ALL humanity has the opportunity for salvation because of this great sacrifice. Acts 2:21 "And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." Romans 10:8-13 8 But what does it say? "The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart," that is, the word of faith we are proclaiming: That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. As the Scripture says, "Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame." For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile--the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, for, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." 1 Tim 2:3-6 3 This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all men--the testimony given in its proper time. |

38 | What was the mark on Cain put by God? | Genesis | jg8ball | 509 | ||
I don't think it was ever specified as to what type of mark it was. It must have been something the people would have known about though. Why do you ask? | ||||||
39 | Why did God put us on earth with satin? | Genesis | jg8ball | 508 | ||
Maybe God's using us to teach Satan a lesson. (just a thought) | ||||||
40 | Isn't adultrey grounds for divorce? | Hosea | jg8ball | 455 | ||
Yes, adultry is grounds for a divorce but does not necessarily require a divorce. God was telling Hosea to marry the prostitute to reflect what was happening between Isreal and God. By telling Hosea to get back with the Prostitute, God was showing Isreal the they too could be reconciled with God. |
