21 | Is your religion a true religion? | John 8:24 | DPMartin | 234503 | ||
Brad kinda figured you’d jump on that. There was some priest (catholic) way back in the day (300-400 ad I think) can’t remember who, of the eastern half of the church then. If my memory serves, refined, if you will, the theology of “Trinity” and the catholic church adopted it as mainstream catholic theology. Never read it. But even in Rabbinical circles it is understood that there is three forms (for the lack of a better term) of revelation of the Lord God. It is commonsense that a living being is present and speaks in it’s presence that it’s will be known. Even a pet dog does this when he needs to go out. And seeing that God who has given life to all that lives surly can do more then that. Don’t need theological discussions to know that. Besides theology is of men’s minds, Word of God is revelation that is of God, as Moses said, “ for I have not done them of mine own mind” (Num:16:28, Lev:24:12:) also when they were diving into Peter’s shadow to be healed, it wasn’t of Peter’s mind or theology, it was the Presence of God with him, and the apparent power thereof.

22 | In Acts, how did disciples make disciple | Acts | DPMartin | 234507 | ||
Thanks for the reply Well I guess its better then being called a dummy. So then, what did you find out? How can you expect an answer for that general subject scripturally when just about the whole NT is about discipleship? I mean the answer is, read the NT and ask questions about the particulars. |

Beja thanks for the reply How can it be that we don’t need mercy when scripture says this: (KJV) ******************** Mt:5:7: Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. Mt:9:13: But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. Mt:23:23: Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone. Lk:1:50: And his mercy is on them that fear him from generation to generation. Lk:1:54: He hath holpen his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy; Lk:1:72: To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant; Lk:1:78: Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us, *************** Why it is that the “Mercy seat” covers the ark of the covenant, and the law therein, and the Lord God said He would appear (Ex:25:22) and meet with them, meaning Israelites, if Mercy isn’t needed? Theory isn’t Truth, at best it is merely what men imagine something they don’t know to be, and in that, is no revelation that is of the Lord God, is there? And scripture is all about the Living Almighty God and His relationship with His People, which is revelation of the Lord God to His People, not theory. I do believe even in philosophy circles, theory is theory, and knowledge or knowing, is revelation, but don’t hold me to that. You said : “we know that God's wrath comes in response to sin” Sorry its your belief that God's wrath comes in response to sin. If that were true then what is Jesus’ offering on the Cross all about? Granted, Jesus suffered in our place, but wasn’t that act the Mercy of God to have His Son His only begotten Son suffer in our place? And isn’t it so that all manner of “sin” shall be forgiven unto men, (Mt:12:31) How is that is a response of wrath to sin? The Lord God’s response to sin through His Son is Mercy and Forgiveness to the point where the forgiven’s sins are forgotten. Nobody said there isn’t wrath, but most of that has been men to men, not God to men. At least as of yet. It would seem that the wrath would be toward the refusal of the Presence of His Holy Son our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in the world. |

Bega I can understand that what I posted would be confusing. Maybe this might clarify. Did Jesus come into the world to redeem and restore and deliver us, because God Loves, or because of God’s wrath? Thanks |

25 | Which is first, wrath or Grace? | Rom 2:2 | DPMartin | 234409 | ||
EdB Its very simple, God made the man and then made the garden and then placed the man in the garden. What is the life that God chose for the man? And now what is the life Adam and Eve have after they made their own choice? Hence we are born into that life, that is the place of sin, guilt, shame, blame, condemnation, and the choice to judge what is good or evil. Therefore, Jesus restoring us to God’s choice, which is Jesus His Son, hence the son ship shared, or given as John speaks of in 1 John. If one rejects restoration into the Presence of God via the Holy Spirit, then the result is not happiness with the Lord God. And since we are in the earth, in the world, if some one rejects the Presence of God in the place they be, (that was given to them) then that person should expect the Lord Jesus to not welcome that person into Heaven where He is. There are many who honor sin and insist in it’s power, to guilt, to shame to blame to condemn to judge another with and to bring men to death. When it is the Lord who is Life, Life eternal that says to fear Him. Hence honor and respect the power of God’s Grace which has always been, because God has always been. There is no doubt in the mind of Christ, of the Father’s Love for Him. Aren’t we supposes to seek the mind of Christ to replace our own? Isn’t the Father’s Love, before anything, since it is true that "God is Love"? thanks |

Beja If you noticed, theology is a house of cards maintained by the intelligent, therefore they are more righteous then others who are not as intelligent.(Rom:10 the whole chapter)You can’t control scripture, but you can create theology and manipulate how people see and read scripture. The trouble is, theology makes people ignorant of the Lord God’s Presence. The religious leaders back in the day when Jesus walked with Israel had many different theologies some more influential in the culture then others by virtue of who many have had power and influence and what theology they were associated with. For example Pharisees Sadducees. But it was the fishermen and tax collectors and thieves that understood who Jesus is. Hence the intelligent was so smart they never recognized the true Presence of God. To what good is the gainsaying of one follower of one theology and the gainsaying of another in response, when it is Jesus the Christ that is the agreement? There is no theology in Heaven, and there is no disagreement with the Lord our God in Heaven. This statement that is presumed to be by King David isn’t theology, it is his experience with the Lord his God in the Lord God’s Presence with him. Ps:18:2: The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower. |

BradK Thanks for the reply To put it plainly, a witness (in the case of Christianity) has experienced the Presence of God via the power of the Holy Spirit and his daily walk that the Lord is with him, and a theist knows his own thoughts on a matter, not necessarily based on personal experience. And the ignorant theist is correct about his own thoughts, or adopted theory/theology, therefore that makes him correct in his own eyes, but what he thinks isn’t correct. Jesus is always correct on and in all things, and in all matters, and anything else is contrary to that. So what “maturity” is there in holding on to something that may be contrary to what the Lord God thinks and knows? In most cases the theist believes his perception supercedes the Truth of God, and argues against the Truth of God with the gainsaying. And without a relationship with the Truth of God how can the theist know? And Jesus Christ being the Truth of God revealed in the flesh in the world wouldn’t withhold the Truth of God, unless one doesn’t have that relationship. The theist has a relationship with his own thoughts, and imaginations, and those who agree with him. |

BradK You have to be way incorrect, in your assumption "We get to know our faith- our Saviour through the written Word, not experientially." Though it is true that faith comes by hearing the Truth of God but no one believes what he don’t know, nor follows what he don’t know, hence knowing the Presence of God is required in order to follow. What bible did Abraham read, or was the Lord God with him? Did Abraham read some book and then followed or went to the land that is now Israel? Or did Abraham experience the Presence of God, and believed (note: God speaks in His Presence)? Or what book did Noah read when he followed instructions to build and ark? Or what book did Moses read? Was God’s deliverance of Goliath into David’s hand theory or experience. Was Job theorizing or experiencing, or was it, his friends were theorizing and Job was experiencing. And who was it that the Lord had a relationship with, Job, or Job’s friends? These people walked with the Lord their God, and documented that relationship (The Bible). The Way of the Lord God is to be with His People. Anyone who would think or say that it’s theory or theology (the Bible) doesn’t believe it is fact, or the truth. Such mind sets think to be superior to the Truth. (Please note that all my questions in this conversation have been rhetorical in nature, I am not looking for you to have, or expect you to have answers.) thanks |

29 | For the Loss of Heaven | Heb 3:8 | DPMartin | 234020 | ||
If one’s heart is in the Lord, then its in the right place and in a safe place. If you read in Ex:20 when the Lord God spoke directly to the people in verses 21: And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where God was. That to me is the difference, Moses’ heart was with the Lord his God, and the peoples heart was with their own lives that they valued more then being with God. | ||||||
