21 | Adam born a man or baby | Bible general Archive 3 | Ocelot | 172792 | ||
Hello mrb7610, From all Biblical indications, Adam was created a fully formed and functional adult man (minus a belly button). For anyone to assume otherwise would be purely speculation, and not very good speculation at that, since the Bible seems to imply that Adam named all of the animals and got married on his first day of life :-) Ocelot |

22 | Are we presenting the gospel scripturaly | John 1:12 | Ocelot | 172407 | ||
Hi Doc, This may very well not be my place to speak. But I would point out that you left the key part of what Mark said, out of your quote. He said “Let us not fault those who, AFTER they have preached the gospel, invite the repentant to pray, and fault what their choice of words may be” Just thought I’d point that out. In Christian Love, Ocelot |

Mark, In my humble opinion, you did not say too much. Excellent post! I especially liked the Donald Trump analogy. Here are a couple other verses that may be beneficial 1 Peter 3:15 but sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts… Ephesians 3:17 …so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith…” Ocelot |

24 | god shouldn't send people to hell. | Bible general Archive 3 | Ocelot | 172028 | ||
Dear Jeff, Thank you for your kind response. I appreciate your Christian character and way of handling this very much. I agree with just about all of what you said. And any part I disagree with isn’t worth debating over :-) Once again, I appreciated your last post. Have a good weekend. (I’m done with MY week) Ocelot |

25 | Show me the money | Phil 4:19 | Ocelot | 172023 | ||
Dear Barb, Some of the confusion in this series of posts is, at least in my case due to your original post (as well as the post where you quoted Mr. Copeland). I would agree with you, that we need “…an appreciation for the Gifts we receive from God and Gods interests in ALL of our affairs earthly as well as Heavenly.” I also agree with your statement that “…everything we have and will have is a GIFT from God. Even the wicked receive from God if he so wills.” But your original post was titled “Show me the Money”, and ended with you saying “What is God’s word for assuring us of abundance on this earth?” God in NO WAY assures us of material abundance on this earth. Just think of the countless missionaries who have sacrificed their lives, both monetarily and literally, for God. And how about, as someone else mentioned, the many Christians who are persecuted, many of whom even end up without a home, or worse, their lives? If you have been blessed with financial wealth, praise The Lord! But that does not mean that everyone will be blessed the way you have been. Ocelot |

26 | god shouldn't send people to hell. | Bible general Archive 3 | Ocelot | 171985 | ||
Dear Jeff, Thank you for your post. Unfortunately, you misunderstood me. I was not condoning “arguing with God”. I was simply explaining how I believe the Bible teaches that “hell” is a temporary thing ending in the destruction of the wicked. As for pointing someone to a web site, unfortunately, I only have internet at work, and therefore don’t have time to get into a deep (and certainly controversial) Bible study. Thanks again for your post. Ocelot |

27 | Is sacrifice requirement to christianity | Bible general Archive 3 | Ocelot | 171538 | ||
Hi Mark. This might be a tad off subject, but I thought it was worth repeating. A couple of months ago, my pastor made the comment that he had a spiritual exercise for us congregants. He said “Today, I’d like you to do a spiritual exercise. Get your family together and go down to your nearest landfill and look at everyone’s treasure. See the treasures that people fought over. That people stressed about. That people neglected their families for.” It really stuck with me. Ocelot |

28 | Who in the bible never died? | Genesis | Ocelot | 171522 | ||
Joshua 1:1, 2 Now it came about after the death of Moses the servant of the LORD, that the LORD spoke to Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' servant, saying, "Moses My servant is dead; now therefore arise, cross this Jordan, you and all this people, to the land which I am giving to them, to the sons of Israel.

29 | "Here I stand; I can do no other." | 2 Thess 2:15 | Ocelot | 170924 | ||
Robin, Going back to something Lionstrong said, who’s tradition is the final word? For centuries the Roman Catholic church decided what “tradition” was, and we had the dark ages. Thousands were murdered in horrendous ways for defying that “tradition”. Would you have us return to that? Unless the Bible, and the Bible alone, is the final word, many will be crushed by the “traditions” of men. Ocelot |

So are you saying that we should still be keeping those feasts? I ask out of curiosity as I’ve wondered about that before. Ocelot |

33 | animals and the flood | Gen 6:9 | Ocelot | 170608 | ||
I totally agree with you. I don’t believe that God intends for any of His creatures to be abused or neglected. I think that one of the ugly results of sin is that both man and beast suffer needlessly. All of the suffering on Earth ultimately comes back to man’s sin. I think that it is a lesson for us that sin causes suffering. The suffering of men, women and children, as well as animals should also help to keep us longing and looking for the day when “…the wolf will dwell with the lamb, and the leopard will lie down with the young goat, and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little boy will lead them.” Isaiah 11:6 Ocelot |

Dear Hank, I agree with what you said 100 percent. What you’re describing sounds like what I call “Church Marketing”. Where services are designed to entertain. Where the goal is to get numbers in the pews. And where true Godliness is left at the door. However… The “sensitivity” that I was talking about is not the “sensitivity” that you are talking about. I don’t think that sensitivity means that truth ceases to be truth or that sin ceases to be sin. I’m talking about the sensitivity that does not break “a bruised reed” or extinguish “a dimly burning wick…” The fact that these people are on this forum shows that they seek the truth. They have not swallowed what they’ve been fed. At least not yet. As for patience… we are given an Eleventh Commandment. “Love one another.” According to 1 Corinthians 13:4 “Love is patient…” I hope that you don’t think that I am trying to be arrogant or condescending. I respect you. You are much older and wiser than I. I’m just saying that I know what it’s like to have doubts. Ocelot |

Not that I disagree with your ultimate statement Hank (because I don’t), but regarding thinning patience and foolish questions, I think it would be fair to take a look at the culture that many Christians are bombarded with every day. Our place in history is unique in that the “leading thinkers” of our day declare that there is no God. That man is a mere accident. And our entertainment industry and our culture are constantly telling us that our religion is a crutch. I completely agree that God receives a pathetic amount of reverence from His creation. But I also think that He understands that we ‘dwell, where Satan's throne is’. I believe that, more than any other time in history, faith is under attack. I think we need to be sensitive to those who may be tempted to doubt. Just my “two-cense”. Ocelot |

36 | Is saying you are a god unforgiveable? | Matt 12:32 | Ocelot | 169896 | ||
Dear holyliving I fear you’re treading on thin ice. To say that John 12:36 somehow says that we “participate in being God” is quite wrong. To say that we become “sons of God” does not mean that we “participate in being God”. We are adopted as sons and daughters of God, but that by no means puts us on an equal level with God. God may dwell in us but this does not mean that we “participate in being God”. Understand that this is not a personal attack. I’m just trying to let you know that you’re on shaky ground. In Christian Love, Ocelot |

37 | kw5kw, do u worship God WHEN u repent? | Rom 7:19 | Ocelot | 169506 | ||
Hi Russ. Where in the Bible did this change take place? Nowhere in all of Holy Scripture is there any mention of transference of the sanctity of the Sabbath to the first day of the week. I do respect Spurgeon. But if Almighty God calls the SEVENTH day of the week Sabbath, and Charles Spurgeon calls the FIRST day of the week Sabbath, I’m going to stick with God. Ocelot |

Here are a couple of corrections to my last post. It would really help if I got everything right the first time. The place I said “The seven day week was NOT man made.” What I should have said was “Sunday being the first day of the week was NOT man made. Also where I said “There is not, and never has been a command in the Bible to keep holy any day other than the Sabbath, the day we call Saturday” Should have “…keep holy any day OF THE WEEK…” in it. I’m sure you all knew what I meant :-) Ocelot |

Oh Russ my friend. You have inspired me. You said “The truth is that Sunday being the first day of the week is man made.” I would say that you are totally and utterly, dead wrong. There is not, and never has been a command in the Bible to keep holy any day other than the Sabbath, the day we call Saturday. The seven day week was NOT man made. It was GOD made. The Jews (those people that stood on Mount Sinai) have kept only Saturday holy for thousands of years. That’s all I have to say… for now Ocelot |

You said: “But Jesus takes us away from the law! We no longer live under the law, but under Grace! Do we sin? Yes, we do!” Romans 6:14, 15 “For sin shall not be master over you, for you are not under law but under grace. What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? May it never be!” Ocelot |
