John Reformed, Quoting complimentary scriptures is the way I was always taught to study scripture in Sunday School. We learned that Satan knows scripture better than we do. But we need to respond like Jesus did by saying "It is written..." when He was tempted as the devil used scriptures also by saying "It is written..." Mat 4:1-11. But I am not saying that you are the devil. Remember that Satan used God's word and twisted it to deceive Eve. He tries to use scripture to deceive us in our minds also. Using related scriptures gives us a much better picture of what God is saying. You quoted, “1. INABILITY DOES NOT RULE OUT RESPONSIBILITY ……"No man can come unto me except the Father who sent me draw him," says the Lord Christ (John 6:44).” But Jesus also said, John 12: 32And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all peoples to Myself." It is not God’s plan or will that any should perish. John 6:44 means that God has to touch a person's heart to draw them to Jesus. However, that does not mean that they must respond to God's drawing. Also they may be drawn to Jesus, but later they turn away. (See the parable of the sower Mat 13:18-23) John 12:32 means that Jesus must be lifted up on the cross to be crucified. It means a lot more also. If the full story is told boldly by all Christians in a truly uplifting manner in the power of the Holy Ghost, then He will draw ALL men unto him! Just as Moses lifted up the serpent, so must we lift up Jesus: John 3:14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: John 3:15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. Luke 10:2 Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest. 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. God’s foreknowledge means that some are indeed predestinated, in that God already KNOWS their destination. God knows our hearts before we are born with freewill. It was God’s plan for them to obey “…with all your heart and with all your soul.”, but they always sinned again. The main point is that God Gives repeated opportunity for all men to be saved. He also warns us to watch our heart, to obey Him, and to walk in the spirit as opposed to the flesh. He never told us to teach predestination, even though I believe in it to the extent of God’s foreknowledge. However, He did tell us to preach “REPENTANCE FOR THE REMISSION OF SINS”: Luke 24:47 and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

John, Here is what I said concerning John 6:44, "It is not God’s plan or will that any should perish. John 6:44 means that God has to touch a person's heart to draw them to Jesus. However, that does not mean that they must respond to God's drawing. Also they may be drawn to Jesus, but later they turn away. (See the parable of the sower Mat 13:18-23) " I do not see a conflict with what you said here, "Jesus then explains the meaning of the verse to them: "Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father, comes to Me." Therefore, it seems clear that Jesus is telling them that their grumbling is a sign that they have not been have NOT been "TAUGHT OF GOD". Those who are taught by God are those who come to Jesus. " Those that are "TAUGHT OF GOD" are taught by the Holy Ghost. Is there a conflict in what we are saying? God bless, Pastor Glenn |

John, You said, "...The crowd, with a few exceptions turn away from Jesus and depart. Thereby proving that they were not drawn. All that are drawn are taught and all that are taught come to Jesus. " Now I see where we differ. I said, all that are drawn may not always stay. But you are saying if they do not stay then they were not really "drawn". Do you equate "drawn" with "born again"? How do you come to that conclusion from this scripture seeing that Judas Iscariot was still with them? God bless, Pastor Glenn |

John, You said, "Yes I do. The reason I do is because Jesus said "No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up on the last day ".(John 6:44) " Now John that kind of throws a monkey wrench into my argument FOR the possibility of falling away after first being drawn! Ouch. Then You said, "As far as Judas goes, Jesus knew that from the the begnning that Judas was a "son of his father the devil". He was not different than alot of people who "say" they are followers of Christ but the truth is not in them. " But you already said, "...The crowd, with a few exceptions turn away from Jesus and depart. Thereby proving that they were not drawn. All that are drawn are taught and all that are taught come to Jesus. " So how do you deal with Judas' falling away seeing that he did not leave with the crowd. But he stayed to be taught. Now, here is a scripture that should put a monkey wrench into your argument of "All that are drawn are taught and all that are taught come to Jesus. ", Heb 6:4For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted the heavenly gift, and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit, 5and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, 6if they fall away,[2] to renew them again to repentance, since they crucify again for themselves the Son of God, and put Him to an open shame. Doesn’t this support my argument FOR the possibility of falling away after first being drawn! God Bless, Pastor Glenn |

John, Your argument on John 6:44 does appear to have some merit until to slams into Hebrews 6:4-6. Are these scriptures contradicting each other? When there appears to be a contradiction it is always the interpretation or application of one of the scriptures that is wrong. For example Satan said, Mat 4:6and said to Him, "If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down. For it is written: "He shall give His angels charge over you,' and, "In their hands they shall bear you up, Lest you dash your foot against a stone."'[Psalm 91:11-12] 7Jesus said to him, "It is written again, "You shall not tempt the LORD your God."'[Deuteronomy 6:16] No we are not Jesus, but we need to understand by studying and praying about the methods used for proper interpretation. Yes, context is important, but so is the referencing of related scripture. God Bless, Pastor Glenn |

John, What I said was, John 6:44 does appear to have some merit until it slams into Hebrews 6:4-6. I still beleive: It is not God’s plan or will that any should perish. John 6:44 means that God has to touch a person's heart to draw them to Jesus. However, that does not mean that they must respond to God's drawing. Also they may be drawn to Jesus, but later they turn away. God truly wanted the religious leaders (the builders) to accept the Chief corner stone. But since they chose to reject Him, then the Father rejected them also. They chose to see Him as only a mere man without deity. Matthew 21:42 Jesus said to them, "Have you never read in the Scriptures: "The stone which the builders rejected Has become the chief cornerstone. This was the LORD's doing, And it is marvelous in our eyes'?[21:42 Psalm 118:22, 23] Acts 4:11 This is the "stone which was rejected by you builders, which has become the chief cornerstone.'[4:11 Psalm 118:22] 1 Peter 2:6 Therefore it is also contained in the Scripture, "Behold, I lay in Zion A chief cornerstone, elect, precious, And he who believes on Him will by no means be put to shame."[2:6 Isaiah 28:16] 1 Peter 2:7 Therefore, to you who believe, He is precious; but to those who are disobedient,[2:7 NU-Text reads [to those who disbelieve.] ] "The stone which the builders rejected Has become the chief cornerstone,"[2:7 NU-Text reads [to those who disbelieve.] ] This is all that I can see in this context.

New Creature You asked: 1) What is your definition of sanctification, and is it a complete or incompleted act within the believer? Sanctify To set apart for sacred use; consecrate. To make holy: Gen 2:3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made. God is able to sanctify us completely through Jesus' blood: Heb 13:11 For the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned without the camp. 12 Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate. 13 Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach. 2) What is the difference between holiness and sanctification? Sanctification leads to holiness. True repentence makes sanctification easy since Jesus comes in and changes us from the inside out (See Psalm 51). Therefore, New Creature we die to ourselves and become new creatures. The problem is with those that follow God half-heartedly. God is absolutely holy and requires absolute holiness of us. But some church go'ers want to "stradle the fence", in that they want the best of both worlds. Since God knows our hearts, He will not tolerate cleaning the outside of the cup while the inside is still filthy: Exodus 19:21 And the LORD said unto Moses, Go down, charge the people, lest they break through unto the LORD to gaze, and many of them perish. 22 And let the priests also, which come near to the LORD, sanctify themselves, lest the LORD break forth upon them. 23 And Moses said unto the LORD, The people cannot come up to mount Sinai: for thou chargedst us, saying, Set bounds about the mount, and sanctify it. 24 And the LORD said unto him, Away, get thee down, and thou shalt come up, thou, and Aaron with thee: but let not the priests and the people break through to come up unto the LORD, lest he break forth upon them. Eph 5:25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; 26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, 27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.

28 | Can we loose our salvation | Bible general Archive 1 | Pastor Glenn | 67371 | ||
New Creature, This is an excellent assembly of scripture. Of course the question is always whether a person was truly saved before he falls away. A better question is: How do we know that we are truly saved ourselves? 1 John 3 Sin and the Child of God 4 Whoever commits sin also commits lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness. 5And you know that He was manifested to take away our sins, and in Him there is no sin. 6Whoever abides in Him does not sin. Whoever sins has neither seen Him nor known Him. 7Little children, let no one deceive you. He who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous. 8He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil. 9Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God. The Imperative of Love (1) 10 In this the children of God and the children of the devil are manifest: Whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is he who does not love his brother. 11For this is the message that you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another, 12not as Cain who was of the wicked one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his works were evil and his brother's righteous. 13Do not marvel, my brethren, if the world hates you. 14We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brethren. He who does not love his brother[3] abides in death. 15Whoever hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him. The Outworking of Love 16 By this we know love, because He laid down His life for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. 17But whoever has this world's goods, and sees his brother in need, and shuts up his heart from him, how does the love of God abide in him? 18My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth. 19And by this we know[4] that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before Him. 20For if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and knows all things. 21Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence toward God. 22And whatever we ask we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments and do those things that are pleasing in His sight. 23And this is His commandment: that we should believe on the name of His Son Jesus Christ and love one another, as He gave us[5] commandment. The Spirit of Truth and the Spirit of Error 24 Now he who keeps His commandments abides in Him, and He in him. And by this we know that He abides in us, by the Spirit whom He has given us. I wanted to put only vs14 here but it was all just too good to cut out. But you already know this since your are a New Creature. God Bless, Pastor Glenn |

Hank, Here is a paragraph that I think is not well reasoned with scripture: "There is one idea which has occurred to us. It has struck us as a singular thing, that our friends should hold that men can be converted, made into new creatures, then fall away and be converted again. I am an old creature by nature; God creates me into a new thing, he makes me a new creature. I cannot go back into an old creature, for I cannot be uncreated. But yet, supposing that new creatureship of mine is not good enough to carry me to heaven. What is to come after that? Must there be something above a new creature—a new creature. Really, my friends, we have got into the country of Dreamland; but we were forced to follow our opponents into that region of absurdity, for we do not know how else to deal with them." http://www.spurgeon.org/sermons/0075.htm He seems to forget that though we are new creatures in Christ, we still have the old nature that is not dead yet. He also sees no distiction between: A. Sin, confrontation, repentance B. Sin, confrontation, nonrepentance Pastor Glenn |

30 | Go out in the highways and thebyways!!!! | Bible general Archive 1 | Pastor Glenn | 67501 | ||
EdB, Thank you for you well balanced comments. Prayer is definitely the key here. This week I plan to attend the funeral of an elderly pastor that suffered many things through the years. About 30 years ago God cured him of throat cancer. Then, about 25 years ago, an arsonist burned their church completely down! They had very little or no fire insurance. They were granted the sharing of a neighboring church while they raised funds to rebuild. After a few years they did rebuild a very nice building. Since I am only 43 years old now, I was not up on much of the details. I was not part of his congregation, but I know it must have been very difficult to keep the small flock together. This is why it is so hard to judge from the outside looking in. Thanks again for your comments to Mae64. God Bless, Pastor Glenn |

31 | Finding 'Act as though you have faith' | Bible general Archive 1 | Pastor Glenn | 72130 | ||
Aften1, You said, "Show me the verse Bradk where "YOU" are saved by grace? Romans 5:8 was written by Paul for the people of that day and life. ..." Let me guess, you are trying to find Christian scriptures from a New World Translation bible? From your previous posts you: 1. Do not believe in the Trinity. 2. Do not accept Jesus as truly deity that died for our sins. 3. Do not believe in salvation by grace. 4. Believe your works are required for salvation. 5. Are unable to find key scriptures that are the bases of the historic Christian faith. 6. Cannot see that Jesus Christ is the Emmanuel of the Old Testament. If this is the case then of course you cannot find key scriptures concerning Jesus Christ. This is why Christians start with the Hebrew scriptures. The New Testament fits perfectly with Hebrew scriptures that are accepted by the Jews today and of Jesus' day. The Jews did not tamper with the Old Testament scriptures, but the false prophets of the Jahovah's Witnesses Watchtower Society did! If they were not afraid to tamper with the Old Testament, then what about the New? Pastor Glenn |

Aften1, You said, "2. Jesus never claimed to be God." However; Jesus Himself tied Isaiah's prophecies of Messiah to Himself: Mark 14 61But He kept silent and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked Him, saying to Him, "Are You the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?" 62Jesus said, "I am. And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Power, and coming with the clouds of heaven." 63Then the high priest tore his clothes and said, "What further need do we have of witnesses? 64You have heard the blasphemy! What do you think?" And they all condemned Him to be deserving of death. Matt 26 63But Jesus kept silent. And the high priest answered and said to Him, "I put You under oath by the living God: Tell us if You are the Christ, the Son of God!" 64Jesus said to him, "It is as you said. Nevertheless, I say to you, hereafter you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Power, and coming on the clouds of heaven." 65Then the high priest tore his clothes, saying, "He has spoken blasphemy! What further need do we have of witnesses? Look, now you have heard His blasphemy! 66What do you think?" They answered and said, "He is deserving of death." John 10 24Then the Jews surrounded Him and said to Him, "How long do You keep us in doubt? If You are the Christ, tell us plainly." 25Jesus answered them, "I told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in My Father's name, they bear witness of Me. 26But you do not believe, because you are not of My sheep, as I said to you.[2] 27My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. 28And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand. 29My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father's hand. 30I and My Father are one." Renewed Efforts to Stone Jesus 31 Then the Jews took up stones again to stone Him. 32Jesus answered them, "Many good works I have shown you from My Father. For which of those works do you stone Me?" 33The Jews answered Him, saying, "For a good work we do not stone You, but for blasphemy, and because You, being a Man, make Yourself God." The Jews show that they recognized this by saying "...You, being a Man, make Yourself God." Pastor Glenn |

33 | Aften1, are you a Christian? | Bible general Archive 1 | Pastor Glenn | 72395 | ||
Aften1, You said, "Am I Christian? I stand in service to Father and the honor is mine." Well, you must accept Christ before you serve the Father. God requires total perfection. This can be achieved only by receiving the rightiousness of Christ: Ezekiel 33:13 When I say to the righteous that he shall surely live, but he trusts in his own righteousness and commits iniquity, none of his righteous works shall be remembered; but because of the iniquity that he has committed, he shall die. Luke 18 9 Also He spoke this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others: 10"Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. 11The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, "God, I thank You that I am not like other men--extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this tax collector. 12I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I possess.' 13And the tax collector, standing afar off, would not so much as raise his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, "God, be merciful to me a sinner!' 14I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted." We need the pardon that only comes from Jesus: Isaiah 55 7Let the wicked forsake his way, And the unrighteous man his thoughts; Let him return to the LORD, And He will have mercy on him; And to our God, For He will abundantly pardon. Pastor Glenn |

34 | Aften1, are you a Christian? | Bible general Archive 1 | Pastor Glenn | 72413 | ||
Aften1, You said, "You have not provided a verse in the Bible that says one must accept Christ before they can serve Father." 1 John 2 22Who is a liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist who denies the Father and the Son. 23Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father either; he who acknowledges the Son has the Father also. 1 John 4 1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world. 2By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, 3and every spirit that does not confess that[1] Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world. You said, "Now show me a verse were Jesus lays claim to be God? You will not because he is Immanuels Son ... Son of God. Not to worry because Immanuel came unto his own (incarnate Angels on Earth)..." Immanuel is Jesus. The Father is not Immanuel. I already posted scriptures where Jesus claimed to be God. Here they are again: Mark 14 61But He kept silent and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked Him, saying to Him, "Are You the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?" 62Jesus said, "I am. And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Power, and coming with the clouds of heaven." 63Then the high priest tore his clothes and said, "What further need do we have of witnesses? 64You have heard the blasphemy! What do you think?" You do indeed need to understand "Christ" the Massiah, the promised One of Israel. Hebrews 11 13 These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off were assured of them,[3] embraced them and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. John 8:56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day, and he saw it and was glad." Pastor Glenn |

Aften1, But Jesus "was" saying that He was God. He could not be "too explicit" or Satan would not have allowed them to carry out God's plan of redemption of man at the cross of Jesus: 1 Corinthians 2 7But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the ages for our glory, 8which none of the rulers of this age knew; for had they known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. The Deity of Christ is taught throughout scripture. Especially in the New Testament from after the crucifixion on. Satan knew scriptures concerning Christ, but did not totally understand how the head of the serpent would be bruised (Gen 3:15), or how men from Abel until now would be saved by faith in Jesus Christ (Hebrews 11-12). All true Christains understand these truths. If you do not understand then you might as well see the Jews and ask to be circumcised into their religion, because you cannot approach the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob unless you come His Way. Read the teachings in the book of Acts such as: Acts 2 29"Men and brethren, let me speak freely to you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his tomb is with us to this day. 30Therefore, being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him that of the fruit of his body, according to the flesh, He would raise up the Christ to sit on his throne,[5] 31he, foreseeing this, spoke concerning the resurrection of the Christ, that His soul was not left in Hades, nor did His flesh see corruption. 32This Jesus God has raised up, of which we are all witnesses. 33Therefore being exalted to the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, He poured out this which you now see and hear. 34"For David did not ascend into the heavens, but he says himself: "The LORD said to my Lord, "Sit at My right hand, 35Till I make Your enemies Your footstool."'

John 10:30 I and My Father are one." John 20:28 Thomas said to him, "My Lord and my God!" John 1 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2He was in the beginning with God. 3All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. Rev 19 6And I heard, as it were, the voice of a great multitude, as the sound of many waters and as the sound of mighty thunderings, saying, "Alleluia! For the[4] Lord God Omnipotent reigns! 7Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready." 8And to her it was granted to be arrayed in fine linen, clean and bright, for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints. "Which is greater Pastor Glenn - the truth or a belief?" What do you mean by that? The truth is that Jesus is God. This is what the scripture is teaching. You are the only one trying to push your own personal beliefs about many universes and many incarnations!? Your ideas are just plain weird and have no bases in scripture. christ anointed, the Greek translation of the Hebrew word rendered "Messiah" (q.v.), the official title of our Lord, occurring five hundred and fourteen times in the New Testament. It denotes that he was anointed or consecrated to his great redemptive work as Prophet, Priest, and King of his people. He is Jesus the Christ (Acts 17:3; 18:5; Matt. 22:42), the Anointed One. He is thus spoken of by Isaiah (61:1), and by Daniel (9:24-26), who styles him "Messiah the Prince." The Messiah is the same person as "the seed of the woman" (Gen. 3:15), "the seed of Abraham" (Gen. 22:18), the "Prophet like unto Moses" (Deut. 18:15), "the priest after the order of Melchizedek" (Ps. 110:4), "the rod out of the stem of Jesse" (Isa. 11:1, 10), the "Immanuel," the virgin's son (Isa. 7:14), "the branch of Jehovah" (Isa. 4:2), and "the messenger of the covenant" (Mal. 3:1). This is he "of whom Moses in the law and the prophets did write." The Old Testament Scripture is full of prophetic declarations regarding the Great Deliverer and the work he was to accomplish. Jesus the Christ is Jesus the Great Deliverer, the Anointed One, the Saviour of men. This name denotes that Jesus was divinely appointed, commissioned, and accredited as the Saviour of men (Heb. 5:4; Isa. 11:2-4; 49:6; John 5:37; Acts 2:22). To believe that "Jesus is the Christ" is to believe that he is the Anointed, the Messiah of the prophets, the Saviour sent of God, that he was, in a word, what he claimed to be. This is to believe the gospel, by the faith of which alone men can be brought unto God. That Jesus is the Christ is the testimony of God, and the faith of this constitutes a Christian (1 Cor. 12:3; 1 John 5:1). Je'sus, the proper, as Christ is the official, name of our Lord. To distinguish him from others so called, he is spoken of as "Jesus of Nazareth" (John 18:7), and "Jesus the son of Joseph" (John 6:42). This is the Greek form of the Hebrew name Joshua, which was originally Hoshea (Num. 13:8, 16), but changed by Moses into Jehoshua (Num. 13:16; 1 Chr. 7:27), or Joshua. After the Exile it assumed the form Jeshua, whence the Greek form Jesus. It was given to our Lord to denote the object of his mission, to save (Matt. 1:21). Aften1, The bottom line is that Jesus must be accepted before approaching the Father. Pastor Glenn |

Your entire post is based on...??? This reminds me of what Jesus said to the woman at the well: John 4 22You worship what you do not know; we know what we worship, for salvation is of the Jews.

The Holy Spirit (supplying spiritual ears)is the decoder. If you have not been born again you cannot understand the Gospel of Christ, let alone prophecy: 2 Corinthians 4 3But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, 4whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them. Matthew 13:14 And in them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled, which says: "Hearing you will hear and shall not understand, And seeing you will see and not perceive; Acts 28:26 saying, "Go to this people and say: "Hearing you will hear, and shall not understand; And seeing you will see, and not perceive; Rev 3 6"He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches."' |

Aften1, You said, "In the two verses listed here one says the time is at hand, 2 Thessalonians was written about two thousand years ago." Psalm 90:4 For a thousand years in Your sight Are like yesterday when it is past, And like a watch in the night. 2 Peter 3 3knowing this first: that scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts, 4and saying, "Where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation." 5For this they willfully forget: that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of water and in the water, 6by which the world that then existed perished, being flooded with water. 7But the heavens and the earth which are now preserved by the same word, are reserved for fire until the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men. 8But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 9The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us,[2] not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance. So what was your point in noting 2 thousand years? Is the bible too old to believe? Pastor Glenn |
