21 | 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.

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 |

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 |

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 |

So what then, do we do with Romans 6:15 "What then? Shall we sin because we are not under the law but under grace? Certainly not!"? | ||||||

Thank you for your response, Lionheart. Regarding your response, when did the change happen? What I mean is, where in the Bible does it say that the change occurred? | ||||||
27 | Which day is number seven? | Ex 20:10 | Ocelot | 164907 | ||
The change that I was asking about was the change from Saturday to Sunday. In the old testament, the week had 7 days in it. It still does. So the change that I'm talking about is not a calendar change but a day change. Anyway, any thoughts? |

Thanks Mark, But I can't take any credit. I stumbled across that accidentally (or was it?) while I was trying to approach the question from an entirely different angle. That’s one of the best things about this forum, it encourages digging into the Word of God (which can only lead to great things). Ocelot |

Dear Val, You will find (or have found) that there are many Calvinists on this forum. Don't let this leave you dismayed. You will also find, if you live long enough and ask the right questions, that there are bugs in chocolate. Nothing is ever as we would like it. I wouldn't waste a whole lot of time arguing this subject if I were you(at least not on this forum). Just know that there are many out there that agree with you, just as there are many out there that disagree with you. Ocelot |

Dear Jeff, I've read the Terms of Use. I'm not quite sure what name calling you're referring to. As far as labeling goes I assume you’re talking about the label “Calvinist”. To be honest, I didn't think they'd mind. If someone labeled me a "Christian" I wouldn't be offended. It seems to me that the individuals on this forum who adhere to the theological idea of predestination set forth by John Calvin (among others) are not ashamed of it (and rightfully so if they truly believe it). But if I have offended anyone by labeling them, I am very sorry. As for divisiveness, my intentions were to make peace. To assure Val that arguing the topic wasn’t going to get her anywhere. I can remember when I was new to the forum and got into a debate or two over predestination. It was very frustrating to have the opposing individuals ignore the obvious scriptural evidence (I’m sure they felt the same way about me). Anyway, I was simply trying to humorously make peace. If, after reading my explanation, you still believe that I was name calling, inappropriately labeling, or being divisive, please let me know and I will recant. Humbly, Dustin |

Here are some further Bible verses on the issue John 5:28,29 Gen. 2:7 (The KJV rightly translates that the word being to soul) Eccl. 12:7 (The spirit returns to God. Not the soul) Job 27:3 (Read this in KJV) Psalm 146:3,4 1 Tim. 6:16 (Only God has immortality) Rom. 2:7 The Bible uses the word Soul 1600 times, but never immortal soul) 1 Cor. 15:51-54 (Jesus gives us immortality at His 2nd coming) Psalm 115:17 Acts 2:34 Psalm 6:5 Eccl. 9:5 Job 19:25,26 Ezek 18:4 (Souls die) Rom 6:23 (Wages of sin is death.

What does the seventh-day Adventist church say? What does the Catholic Church say? What do the Baptist, Lutheran Methodist, or Episcopal churches say? It doesn’t matter. All that matters is “What do the Scriptures say?”. Sola Scriptura. With Christian Love 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 |

38 | 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 |

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 |
