21 | What is an acceptiable "Biblical questn? | Matt 22:21 | Glory Bound | 134149 | ||
Perhaps, as I stated, rather than coming right to the point, one should ask, "Can a Christian support a party who advocates abortion, homosexual marriage and ultra liberalism," rather than using a more concise term i.e. "Democrat?" Unfortunately, some have a lesser command of the language than others, so can we not guide the discussion and point out the biblical truth which many are unaware of, because so many others who profess Christianity, also have their reasons for not shedding the light of the Word on such a question? "It is a Forum designed for and dedicated to the study of the word of God." And what is the Word? Is it not the "Living Word?" Knowledge is worthless without the use thereof? "We must obey God rather than men" Does this forum not advocate adherence to the Word? "It is not a sounding board for promoting opinions, biases, politics, or how to bake fudge brownies" Who said it was Hank? You are a man of God, Hank! Can you not understand what I am saying. I have not advocated anything which you denote, only a biblical discussion of matters which concern ALL Christians, when someone asks. Can we not remind them of the TOS, gently correct them concerning such, and then discuss the legitimate questions they may have, rather than scolding them and ignoring a legitimate question? "We need to seek God's wisdom and will for our lives; and having done this, it is doubtful than any of us will have any problem with making right political choices." And, dear brother, is it not Gods will that we teach and warn those who do not yet see, as do we? GB |

In not so many words, this is just what I am saying, Tim. I see people on this board being reprimanded for attempting to open political issues, when those issues should be discussed in a biblical manor. It appears to me that the many herein who profess scriptural learning, are sidesteping a very important issue. GB |

24 | Why did David choose five stones? | John 3:16 | Glory Bound | 134049 | ||
Very interesting. I remember when this post originated. I have heard this topic preached before, but did not hear the facts. I didn't think there was a biblical answer. Thank you Ed. I know I have read over that passage, but it never took root. You are very observant. GB |

Will do. Thank you mommapbs, but I stand by statements concerning the posts to which they are attached. I appologize if I appeared to be critical of Hank. Though we often dissagree, I love that fella. I also respect him very much. GB |

27 | Can a Christian be a Democrat? | 1 Cor 1:10 | Glory Bound | 134038 | ||
Thank you, dear soul for putting it like it is, without the "political correctness" demanded by so many who profess, yet know not what it is that they profess. Might I add concerning "the party of the Homosexuals, Abortionists (Murderers) and Generations of Welfare recipients", that "Anyone who condones these acts is (not just spiritually blind,) but spiritually DEAD," for we can not serve two masters. Nor can we serve one master while advocating the actions of the other. Those who think otherwise should reevaluate their position in Christ. Sadly, many are into the Word, but it is through their actions and words, that the evidence surfaces, that the Word has yet to make its way into them. GB |

Point 1: There are biblical attributes to this person’s question. If such a discussion is inappropriate for this forum, perhaps this forum is not the forum it appears to be, a biblical discussion forum. Point 2: Being a Christian is not only believing in Christ, but living in Him, and teaching others to do the same. Being a Christian is much more than what you, dear soul, have denoted. Point 3: We cannot pass judgment on anyone, but it is by the authority of the Living Word that we ARE to judge on the ACTIONS of others. Point 4: Perhaps this person’s terminology could have been better chosen, but who are we to judge his heart, and what he is trying to say? Can we not simply correct the terminology? Are we not all “saved sinners,” or are there some among us who have no sin? Can you Hank, vote for one who is a murderer by association? Or are we, because we are Christians, not to vote, or advocate what it is we are to live by, the Word? If I were to knowingly vote for one who advocates abortion, would I not be just as guilty of killing that innocent infant as would be the doctor who sucked out the cranial matter (brains) from that tiny, helpless, living body? Some Christians desire just to sit on the sidelines and watch. I do not believe this is what Christ taught or why He lived, died and rose again. We are told not to be conformed to the world. We are not told to keep our mouth shut and just sit by and watch while the world is conformed to the enemy. GB |

God knows. He knew. And He is. We who know His word, and in whom is His word, know too. It is rather tiring, wouldn't you say, trying to open the eyes of those who claim to see. So sadly do we see their blindness. So proudly do they reveal their ignorance. We will admit that we too, see through glass darkly. but then face to face: now we know in part; but then shall we shall know even as also we are known. I have often wanted to take on the same "don't care" attitude you profess, dear soul, but there is something inside which tells me that this is not why I am here. This is not why our Savior lived and died. PLEASE, as Christians, lets not advocate a "don't care" attitude. Neither with politics, nor the salvation of others. For if we can save one aborted child with our vote; prevent one same sex marriage, there will be one more soul who may lead someone else to Christ, one less perverted househole in America, and we will have done at least one usefull thing in life. Don't let the enemy fool you. God Knows, but this does not mean that He does not care. For it is not His will that any should perrish, but that all should know his Son. "Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish. Mat 18:14" Were you to get involved, could you possiably save even one of His little ones? In christ GB |

32 | Can a Christian be a Democrat? | 1 Cor 1:10 | Glory Bound | 134017 | ||
I think it is what the Democrats stand for today that this person is addressing. The so-called "Democratic" party advocate abortion, same sex marriage, etc, etc, and it seems, everything that scripture teaches against. A person who knows scripture and truly loves the Lord [will not] vote for one, no matter the political party, who advocates the opposite of what scripture, teaches. Many who profess to be Christians will, for whatever reason (and whatever reason it is, it is a DEMONIC deception), say that they can support those who advocate such as what the Democratic Party does today, but I have news for them... One, who supports another who murders, or makes it "legal" to murder, will be just as guilty on judgment day as the very doctor who removed the cranial matter (brains) from that partially born infant. There is ABSOLUTELY no medical reason for a partial birth abortion! And the fact of the matter is that fewer abortions are performed with the health of the mother in mind, than simply because the child is not wanted for whatever reason. If you do not believe me, check the stats for yourself. Scripture addresses no specific person or political party concerning such matters. It does however, address specific actions which individuals or political parties may practise. We cannot judge anyone, but for heavens sake people! We have the authority to judge their actions. That authority is called The Word… Scripture… When will we learn to use that authority? GB |

33 | Was Paul speaking a believer or not one | Rom 7:15 | Glory Bound | 133912 | ||
This is my favorite passage in Romans. Paul was most assuredly speaking as a believer. He was pointing out the battle that goes on in most believers. The battle between the sinful flesh, the lusts thereof, and the Godly desire for righteousness in the mind and soul of the believer. Eph 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. These rulers are not only external, but only too often they are internal. GB |

Thanks folks. It appears that somehow I may have posted my original post twice. I appreciate your responses. It took little more than for me to open my bible, for me to remember the following. I do not understand my own actions. For I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate. Now if I do what I do not want, I agree that the law is good. So then it is no longer I that do it, but sin which dwells within me. For I know that nothing good dwells within me, that is, in my flesh. I can will what is right, but I cannot do it. For I do not do the good I want, but the evil I do not want is what I do. Now if I do what I do not want, it is no longer I that do it, but sin which dwells within me. So I find it to be a law that when I want to do right, evil lies close at hand. For I delight in the law of God, in my inmost self, but I see in my members another law at war with the law of my mind and making me captive to the law of sin which dwells in my members. Wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death? Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I of myself serve the law of God with my mind, but with my flesh I serve the law of sin. Romans 7:15-25.NIV I pray this passage will be as strenthtening to others as it, and your posts are to me. May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. GB |

39 | sum up the book of james | James 1:22 | Glory Bound | 132110 | ||
This epistle of James is one of the most instructive writings in the New Testament. Being chiefly directed against particular errors at that time brought in among the Jewish Christians, it does not contain the same full doctrinal statements as the other epistles, but it presents an admirable summary of the practical duties of all believers. The leading truths of Christianity are set forth throughout; and on attentive consideration, it will be found entirely to agree with St. Paul's statements concerning grace and justification, while it abounds with earnest exhortations to the patience of hope and obedience of faith and love, interspersed with warnings, reproofs, and encouragements, according to the characters addressed. The truths laid down are very serious, and necessary to be maintained; and the rules for practice ought to be observed in all times. In Christ there are no dead and sapless branches, faith is not an idle grace; wherever it is, it brings forth fruit in works. GB |

40 | Is the 7th "day" still going on? | Heb 4:6 | Glory Bound | 132109 | ||
Can there be any sincere doubt that the terms evening, morning and day mean anything other than a single 24 hour day. I fail to see the complexity. There is nothing other than mans foolishness to indicate anything other than just what is stated. Why can't we simply take scripture at face value until we discover something "other than science," preferably something in scripture that leads us to believe it states otherwise? Are we so complex that we can not comprehend the simplicity of scripture? Or do we not see through the ulterior motives of those who spawn such foolish questions? GB |
