21 | Is Salvation lump sum? | Heb 7:25 | Val | 220054 | ||
Just a side note. Other words for sin are evil, wickedness, inquity and deeds whether good or bad. Judging the world means the people of the world; the lost at the white throne judgment. The saved at the bema seat for rewards. | ||||||

May His name be proclaimed throughout the whole earth. | ||||||
23 | destruction of earth | Gen 8:21 | Val | 219911 | ||
You and you son can take a concordance and look up the word God and in every verse where the word God is used, turn to that verse in the bible. You with your son read the verse and the verses surrounding that verse asking the question who is talking, who is He talking to, where is He, why does He say this, what will be the results, how does this occur. Ask these type questions of the text and ask if there are any lessons for your life. Also most important pray with your son first then look up a verse. Make it a goal to complete one verse a day. | ||||||

Read Genesis 8:21 again. The promise is "every living thing". | ||||||
25 | Inherited Sin Nature | John 3:16 | Val | 219865 | ||
I am not sure what you are looking for. A cross reference for 2 Samuel 13:23 is Gen 37:35 in which they call the place of the dead Sheol. When Samuel spoke to Saul in I Samuel 28:19 Samuel was telling Saul in essence that he would die in the battle tomorrow, him and his sons. We understand that they would go to Sheol. I don't think the idea of the two compartments was understood until it was revealed in the new testament talking about the rich man and Lazarus. There is a passage in Ephesians 4:8-10 hints that Christ took those in the compartment called Abraham's bosom to heaven with Him. There will be a bodily resurrection when Christ returns and brings the souls of those in heaven with him and their bodies will be joined together and they will be changed as is stated in 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18. Notice verse 14 where He says He will bring with Him... | ||||||
26 | Heb. 6:4-6 Security | Gen 1:1 | Val | 219842 | ||
Scripture is always interpreted in light of the whole counsel of God, the whole 66 books of the bible. The language in these verses does not support that the "those" in these verses were saved. It does not use the words which describe a saved person such as justified, righteous. |

27 | Heb. 6:4-6 Security | Gen 1:1 | Val | 219814 | ||
In the Colossians 1:21-23 passage the 23rd verse says "if you continue" in the faith. This verse does not mean that continuing in the faith is what saves you. It means that the proof of your salvation is continuing in the faith. Paul explains that salvation is by grace alone through faith. Adding this verse to grace would be adding something else, in this case;works. I looked up the Galatians passage but do not see your point from this passage. The Hebrews 3:6, 14 again speaks of the proof of salvation; not the means of salvation. Whichever phrase one uses should not matter. Perseverance of the Saints, Once Saved Always Saved. The same conclusion is reached. Both teach that salvation cannot be lost. It is not new Christians that hold to these passages that they believe salvation can be lost; it is entire denominations. One comes to mind is the Nazarenes. There is a comedian in the south. A christian comedian and she says her cousin has been lost and saved a dozen times. On the other side there are those who may have assurance of salvation from man but not from God. Therefore the terminology is not the problem, it is man. |

28 | Truth or Consequences | John 3:16 | Val | 219812 | ||
In respect to the Jeremiah 31:33-34 passage, John Calvin explains the passage to mean that the Holy Spirit aids the believer in carrying out the will of God which is obedience to His word. As John Calvin states its not a different law. It is the same law. The Holy Spirit enables us to obey God and not be a slave to sin. Here is Calvin's explanation. The Law was written on stones, and was therefore a letter. But the Gospel — what is it? It is spirit, that is, God not only addresses his word to the ears of men and sets it before their eyes, but he also inwardly teaches their hearts and minds. This is then the solution of the question: the Prophet speaks of the Law in itself, as apart from the Gospel, for the Law then is dead and destitute of the Spirit of regeneration. He afterwards says, I will put my Law in their inward parts By these words he confirms what we have said, that the newness, which he before mentioned, was not so as to the substance, but as to the form only: for God does not say here, “I will give you another Law,” but I will write my Law, that is, the same Law, which had formerly been delivered to the Fathers. He then does not promise anything different as to the essence of the doctrine, but he makes the difference to be in the form only. But he states the same thing in two ways, and says, that he would put his law in their inward parts, and that he would write it in their hearts. | ||||||
29 | Inherited Sin Nature | John 3:16 | Val | 219782 | ||
I respectfully disagree. There were two places one could go in that time. One was to Abraham's bosom. The other was to Hades. As the poor man went to Abraham's bosom so also did David and Samuel. We are not told where Saul went. | ||||||
30 | Soul is Born, Inserted into the Body? | John 3:16 | Val | 219760 | ||
There are some things the Lord has already judged. This is one of them. Exodus 23 b do not kill the innocent or the righteous, for I wll not acquit the guilty. People don't want to be judged but we all will give an account for how we live. You don't have to be a wise guy cause you don' like the answers. We are told to warn people about the judgement to come. If you take offense to the truth your offense is with the Lord not me. | ||||||

To answer question number one the source for my answer which was given in the original post was Genesis Chapter 3 and 6 and the book of Acts. More answers and scriptures were given by stjohn, BradK, DocTrinsograce, CDBJ and BMyers which apply to questions one and two. As to your profile it is your discretion to place there whatever you please and is not mandatory just requested by other forum members. Again no offense was taken and none was meant. | ||||||

No need to apologize. I have not had time to be on the computer these past few days. If you want to ask me the two questions again I will compile an answer for you. If not that is fine too. It would help if you would fill out your profile so we can know a little bit about your background. When a person does not fill out their profile it is hard to measure how detailed an answer needs to be. There are all types of people who come here from all sorts of backgrounds. Filling out the profile is appropriate. One of the forum members asked you to do this. I hope you will consider it. | ||||||

Let me bring the following to the table. I don't have a lot of time so you will have to look up the scriptures for yourself by searching these characters of the bible. Abraham - God told Abraham in you all the nations of the earth will be blessed. By looking at this one statement we have drawn our conclusion that He was speaking about Christ Jesus. We know there is only one name that was given through which men may be saved according to Peter and that was Jesus. Salvation therefore came through Abraham's righteous line because of the promise God made to Abraham. What is this blessing? We draw this conclusion; that men may be saved, have eternal life through Jesus. Now the question is; is He talking to just the 12 tribes of Israel or is He including all people of the earth? From Revelation 7:9 we draw the conclusion that he was speaking of all mankind as we see it was all tribes, peoples, and tongues in verse 9 before the throne. Abraham had a miracle son at an old age with his elderly wife. The son's name was Isaac, the son of promise. Follow Isaac's line down and it takes you to David. In the book of Ruth we see Ruth was a gentile so this would enable Jesus to be the kinsman redeemer for the gentiles as well as the jews. I believe Mary's line also came through Abraham. So we come full circle. Now what does the verse mean to Abraham; in you all the nations of the earth will be blessed mean? Is this promise only to the 12 tribes of Israel? First the blessing means life for those who believe (have saving faith) in Christ Jesus. Second, the blessing is for every tribe, nation and tongue of the earth. So Abraham and his descendants looked forward to the cross. I believe my friend gave you the Isaiah passage of the suffering servant which is a picture of the cross. Maybe some of the others can elaborate on any questions you may have. Merry Christmas! |

36 | Clarification of 1 Cor 14:34 verse | 1 Cor 14:34 | Val | 219376 | ||
The context of the chapter is those speaking in a tongue. The instructions say there is not to be confusion and that is what they have because there is not an interpreter of the ones speaking in tongues. Also they are not all to speak in tongues at one time as is prevalent in some churches today. Men are also told to keep silent if there is no interpreter. The subject is speaking in tongues. When Paul instructs people not to do certain things the opposite of the instruction may be going on for there to be a need for the instruction. Confusion can be caused by both men and women so I believe one application is for there to be order and a spiirit of learning and worship when one goes into the house of the Lord by being slow to speak and quick to hear. | ||||||

Dear John, thank you for your welcome. There is an ongoing debate in christendom on this subject. I understand your thoughts and appreciate that we can discuss this civilly. I respectfully disagree with your conclusions for the reasons I outlined in my post. We can agree to disagree and move on. It is clear that people disagree on many topics thus we have many denominations. It is not my wish to debate this topic. Thank you again for your friendship. You are a good brother in the Lord. | ||||||
