Norrie, I was reading your other post about your problem brother. I just want to encourage you, also, to keep praying for him. It is such a powerful tool we have so readly available to us. God bless you and rejoice in Jesus, Bob |

If you are saying the apostles were not Catholic, you very correct. The first Catholic was the emperor Constantine who proclaimed himself "pontifex maximus" :). Bob |

Joe, What really impresses me is not how the first century church was, but the vision of how the apostles, esp. Paul, knew it should be. Bob |

24 | "Once Saved Always Saved" | NT general Archive 1 | Bob Y. | 25734 | ||
It makes perfect sense to me. The problem is that the Catholic church claims that salvation is attained partly through faith in Jesus and partly through tradition of the church. This places the church, the pope and all it's other officials next to Jesus as mediators to God Almighty. A pretty lucrative place to be, I suppose. Phl 1:17 the former proclaim Christ out of selfish ambition rather than from pure motives, thinking to cause me distress in my imprisonment. Since we must all "work out our own salvation with fear and trembling" (Phil 2:12) I choose not to follow false or shady doctrins put together by organizations of men, but only the Bible as God's infailable word. Rejoice in the Lord who is near, Bob |

26 | Parable fo the Good Samaritan - Evaluate | NT general Archive 1 | Bob Y. | 25565 | ||
Amen! Beautifully said, Mommapbs! I believe another falicy in the statement presented is: "Samaritan – from a community, which was considered, at the time, to be the equivalent of satanic religion (John 8:48, demonstrates the general opinion of Samaritans). This could be compared to modern day attitudes towards Muslims." This is a false statement because there is no comparison. The Samaritans were "considered" devels and outcasts by the Jewish because they had intermarried with pagan women and feared not only the Lord but pagan gods. 57. Why Jews Exclude Samaritans 7 Why are Samaritans (kuthim) excluded from entering Israel? --Because they were mixed up with the priests of the high places. Rabbi Ishmael said: "They were righteous proselytes in the beginning." Why are they excluded? --Because they marry illegitimate women but not a brother's widow. 32 They also feared the LORD and from among themselves they appointed all sorts of people as priests of the high places, who sacrificed for them in the shrines of the high places. 33 So they feared the LORD but also served their own gods, after the manner of the nations from which they were deported. 34 And to this day they do according to the preceding manner. --- Hebrew Bible, 1 Kings 17:5-6, 24-34 When will they be accepted? --When they deny Mount Gerizim and confess Jerusalem and the resurrection of the dead. After this, he who robs a Samaritan is like one who robs an Israelite. --- Babylonian Talmud (supplement), Kuthim 2.7 Although the Samaritan people were rejected by the Jewish in reality neither were saved or lost until they had the opportunity to accept or reject God's anointed one, Christ Jesus the Lord. In the case of the Moslims by the mere doctrins of Islam and the Quran, they have made the conscious decision to reject Jesus as the Savior and the incarnate image of God, thus bringing about their own distruction. 1Jo 2:21 I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth. 1Jo 2:22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. 1Jo 2:23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: [[but] he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also]. Islam is a satanic religion because it rejects Jesus, thus God is not their Father but Satan is. There is no other choice. It has nothing to do with whether we "consider" it to be or not, the Bible says it is. Jhn 8:44 Ye are of [your] father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. |

27 | how can I eat flesh | Gen 9:4 | Bob Y. | 25373 | ||
I agree that Christians are not bound by any diatary OT laws, but it's interesting that James does discourage the eating of blood in Acts. Act 15:19 "Therefore it is my judgment that we do not trouble those who are turning to God from among the Gentiles, Act 15:20 but that we write to them that they abstain from things contaminated by idols and from fornication and from what is strangled and from blood. Maybe it is because as Christians we have to be conscious of how others view us. |

28 | Thank you | 1 Cor 12:14 | Bob Y. | 25370 | ||
Jenna, your very welcome. What I said is from my own experience and I'm sure that their are some Episcopal churches that may encourage a more personal relationship with Jesus. Continue to seek God through the Bible with the assumption (faith)that it is His infalable word and He will open it's secrets for your heart. Search for a church that exaults Jesus, believes the Bible is the inerrant word of God and encourages it's study on the individual level. In Christ's Love, Bob |

29 | what is the true worship day sun. or sat | Col 2:16 | Bob Y. | 25355 | ||
I am going to begin having my group prayer, worship and Bible study on Wednesday morning. Think maybe I might loose my salvation? Hmmm, I doubt it. But then I guess I will not let anyone sit in judgment on me in matters of food and drink, or with regard to a feast day or a New Moon or a Sabbath. |

31 | Are tongues a world language or not? | 1 Corinthians | Bob Y. | 25183 | ||
Hi Martha, I appreciate your response to my question. I agree with you that from Acts 2:6 the apostles were speaking languages of surrounding areas that could be understood by the unsaved people. I believe the purpose for this is well supported in the following verse: 1Cr 14:22 So then tongues are for a sign, not to those who believe but to unbelievers; but prophecy is for a sign, not to unbelievers but to those who believe. I think someone who receives a gift of tongues now may find they have the ability to learn foreign languages easily and spread the gospel to other nationalities of people. Thanks again and God bless you, Bob |

32 | Renewal AGAIN to repentance? | NT general Archive 1 | Bob Y. | 25105 | ||
I believe what they are talking about about in Hebrews 6 is once we have been saved lets continue to grow in Christ and not keep bouncing back to needing repentance for the same sins over and over again. A believer is to get off the milk and on to the meat. 1Cor 3:2 I gave you milk to drink, not solid food; for you were not yet able to receive it. Indeed, even now you are not yet able, (NASB copyright 1995 Lockman Foundation) We will all continue to sin as we grow, but we must try not to keep repeating the same sins that brought us to Jesus in the first place or we will never experience growth. A person must trust Jesus in their heart not just lip service. If they do, then they are saved. If they are so weak in their will that they continue in sin, if their faith is in Jesus they are saved. They will go home empty handed, because, other than receiving the gift of eternal life, their life will have been wasted. This is not what Jesus would have for our life. 1Cr 3:15 If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire. I have a friend who studies the Bible and loves Jesus but continues on and off in alcoholism and sometimes worse. I have no doubt that he is saved. It is just sad that I believe he has the potential of being very effective for the Lord, but can't get off the starting line. God bless you, Bob |

33 | what about the K J V | Rev 3:10 | Bob Y. | 24986 | ||
I think that all of you have a very good line of thinking in this area. I am by no stretch of the imagination a scholar of any kind. I prefer the more contemporary language found in the NKJV and NASB, because it's easier for my simple mind to grasp, yet are still accurate translations. I have a friend who majored in ancient Greek in college and reads a Greek New Testament. He tells me that these translations (of course refering to KJV also) are very accurate. I use all the study aids I can, but only to gain a better understanding and I rely on the Holy Spirit to put it all together for me. God bless all of you, Bob |

34 | Can one loose their salvation ? | Bible general Archive 1 | Bob Y. | 24803 | ||
Rev 22:19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and [from] the things which are written in this book.(KJV) Rev. 22:19 And if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book. (NKJV Copyright 1982 Thomas Nelson) Rev. 22:19 And if any one takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book. (RSV copyright info) Rev. 22:19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and [from] the things which are written in this book. (Webster's) Rev. 22:19 And if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his part from the tree of life and from the holy city, which are written in this book. (NASB copyright 1995 Lockman Foundation) Which version says "Lamb's book of life"? There is a difference between the "book of life" and the "Lamb's book of life". We need to be careful not to add words to the Bible. The "book of life" is a registry of the deeds all humans have done in their life here on earth, both open and in secrete. The "Lamb's book of life" is a registry of all who have trusted in Jesus as their savior attaining eternal life and exemption from the judgement and wrath of God. Rev. 20:12 And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and books were opened; and another book was opened, which is the book of life; and the dead were judged from the things which were written in the books, according to their deeds.

35 | Shall the image of Jesus be lifted up? | Ex 20:4 | Bob Y. | 24656 | ||
Kalos, I agree with you to an extent. Jesus did say this to indicate how he would die, but He also said this to indicate how the lost would come to know Him. Strong's shows that the word used for "lifted up" in this verse is: 5312 hupsoo (hoop-so-o) from 5311; TDNT - 8:606,1241; v AV - exalt 14, lift up 6; 20 1) to lift up on high, to exalt 2) metaph. 2a) to raise to the very summit of opulence and prosperity 2b) to exalt, to raise to dignity, honour and happiness What I'm talking about is not to "recrucify" Him but to exalt and glorify Him, lifting Him up in our lives as a light in a world filled with darkness. Luk 11:33 No man, when he hath lighted a candle, putteth [it] in a secret place, neither under a bushel, but on a candlestick, that they which come in may see the light. God bless you, Bob |

I want to encourage you Mattie P. you are on the right track. Continue to pray for your Aunt. It will be much more effective than arguing with her. It would seem to me to be a much easier task to turn someone to Jesus who is still searching than someone who has already rejected Him. Through God, nothing is impossible. With Jesus love, Bob |

39 | Franklin Graham's view of Moslem faith | 1 Cor 2:10 | Bob Y. | 24002 | ||
Thanks Indy, I appreciate the correction. I should have checked that closer before I wrote it. I was thinkiing more of the result than the timeline. It's sad that the misinterpretation of scripture by both Christian and Jewish institutions have contributed so much to the growth of this perverse false religion that will lead so many to distruction. Now that it has grown so much, we are under pressure again to misinterpret scripture so that Christianity can show itself to be "socially tolerant" We just need to love the mideastern people and pray that there eyes are opened and that they will be saved. Thank you brother, and God bless you, Bob |

40 | Is is right to call money a seed? | NT general Archive 1 | Bob Y. | 23973 | ||
It's the "LOVE" of money that is the root of all "KINDS" of evil (not all evil) 1Tim 6:10 I agree that money is not what Jesus intended when He talked about sowing seeds. It's a shame that pastors trying to biblically undergurd a costly project will distort the meaning of scripture. |
