21 | Am I lost for eternity because of sin | 1 John 1:9 | childoftheking | 37709 | ||
Hi Andrew jr., You wrote: “Now you say that we all slip up, I would like to know what scripture did you find that in, because the book of James says that the Holy Spirit is able to keep us from falling.” We are in a daily struggle with the flesh: Galatians 5:17 “For the flesh sets its desire against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are in opposition to one another, so that you may not do the things that you please. NASB Psalm 37:23-24 “The steps of a [good] man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth [him with] his hand.” KJV Paul himself said in Romans 7:14-19; The Conflict of Two Natures 14 "For we know that the Law is spiritual, but I am of flesh, sold into bondage to sin. 15 For what I am doing, I do not understand; for I am not practicing what I would like to do, but I am doing the very thing I hate. 16 But if I do the very thing I do not want to do, I agree with the Law, confessing that the Law is good. 17 So now, no longer am I the one doing it, but sin which dwells in me. 18 For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh; for the willing is present in me, but the doing of the good is not. 19 For the good that I want, I do not do, but I practice the very evil that I do not want.” NASB I’m not about to get into a debate about this. If you don’t “slip up” as I said, then you’re a better man than I am. A slip up, by the way, can be any sin. As far as 2cor 7:8-10 goes, it seems that it was Paul’s letter itself that made them sorrowful to the point of repentance. This woman (godchild) is already sorrowful to the point of a grieved spirit. She sees the error of her ways with no need of us to formulate any little pearls of wisdom such as “if you don’t want to get wet then please don't walk on the bank of the river”; “if you can’t stand the heat, then get out of the kitchen”; if you don’t want to get burned, then don’t play with matches”. This is just my humble opinion. Anyway Andrew, you have much good to offer and I thank you for your posts Love in Christ bgg |

22 | Who else besides Cain, Adam, and Eve? | Genesis | childoftheking | 37700 | ||
It's amazing how much tripe(putting it mildly) the enemy has come up with over the years to deceive people. May the Word of God open their eyes.... Acts 26:18 "To open their eyes, [and] to turn [them] from darkness to light, and [from] the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me." KJV Love in Christ bgg |

23 | Am I lost for eternity because of sin | 1 John 1:9 | childoftheking | 37447 | ||
Greetings Andrew jr., You wrote: "A word of advise; if you don't want to get wet then please don't walk on the bank of the river because it is very slippery and you can easily fall in." Not to be negative here sir but this kind of advice really doesn't do anyone any good. When one is in deep turmoil for what one has done, as it seems that Godchild is, then a "cliche" is not what the doctor ordered. When people sought out Jesus and were repentant for what they did, Jesus did not chastise them, but forgave them their sins. We all slip up. As Christians, Love and prayer would seem to be the way. God Bless bgg |

Greetings in the name of Jesus armygrunt, The true meaning to the scripture is the scripture itself. You're father wasn't adding any true meaning, he was quoting the scripture which is always the best thing to do.

25 | Raven and John Reformed, Baptism? | Bible general Archive 1 | childoftheking | 36886 | ||
Greetings Raven, Praise God!! Thank you for your well thought our response that you sent me earlier. I'm responding to this instead of the one you sent me becuase it seems it was your latest post. I am not, in my stance, denying the importance of Baptism, just that to me, it does not appear to be a prerequisite for the Salvation of one’s soul. He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned" Raven, you said: “It is true that baptism without belief will not save. For why would a person be baptized if they believe not. Mark 16:16 says that he that does not believe will be condemned. It is not necessary to say "and not be baptized”” If Baptism is sorely needed for Salvation, then why not say “and not be baptized” ? You’re saying that Baptism is needed for the Salvation of one’s soul: For this logic the passage should read: "He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who believes and is not baptized will be condemned" Of course it doesn’t say that because the one ingredient for Salvation comes after the “but” which is “believe”. Compare this simplistic analogy. "He who has a license and a car can drive, but he who has no license cannot." So, no matter what you do, you need a License to drive. However, you can still drive without owning a car but it’s illegal to drive any car without a license. Ephesians 2:8 “For by Grace are ye saved, through Faith….” Romans 10:9 “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved” KJV Romans 10:13 “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” Why no mention of Baptism in any of those verses? You also mentioned Lydia, which is in Acts 16: “Another conversion was Lydia. The bible says, "The Lord opened her heart to heed the things spoken by Paul. 15And when she and her household were baptized” The word "baptized" ("ebaptisqh" from the Textus Receptus Greek Text) here is the same word that is used in Luke 11:38 for “washed” which says: “And when the Pharisee saw [it], he marvelled that he had not first washed before dinner.” The NASB has it as “ceremonially washed”. This is also the same word that is used for when Paul(Saul) was Baptized in Acts 9:18, the same word as in Acts 16:33 "And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed [their] stripes; and was "baptized", he and all his, straightway.", and also the same as when Jesus himself was Baptized in Mark 1:9. The Greek word Baptized means: baptizo bap-tid'-zo from a derivative of baptw - bapto to immerse, submerge; to make whelmed (i.e. fully wet); used only (in the New Testament) of ceremonial ablution, especially (technically) of the ordinance of Christian baptism:--Baptist, baptize, wash. You also said: “Now I might ask you the same question. Did Jesus make an inaccurate statement? Why did He say be baptized if it wasn't needed?” As I put in my last post, what of this woman that Jesus said that her faith had saved her but didn’t mention anything of Baptism? Luke 7:48 “Then He said to her, "Your sins have been forgiven." Verse 50 “And He said to the woman, "Your faith has saved you; go in peace." Thanks for sharing your views Love in Christ bgg |

26 | Raven and John Reformed, Baptism? | Bible general Archive 1 | childoftheking | 36692 | ||
Greetings all, It’s funny how things change after so many posts. The question had to do with if speaking in tongues were needed for Salvation, which we all agree the answer is an emphatic NO. If I may add to this discussion on Baptism: Mark 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized--Baptism is here put for the external signature of the inner faith of the heart, just as "confessing with the mouth" is in Rom 10:10 ; “For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation” and there also as here this outward manifestation, once mentioned as the proper fruit of faith, is not repeated in what follows in Romans 10:11 “For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.” JFB We hold that persons are not saved by baptism, for we think, first of all that it seems out of character with the spiritual religion which Christ came to teach, that he should make salvation depend upon mere ceremony” Charles Spurgeon Baptism is important but has nothing to do with the saving of your soul but is a testimony of ones faith. Acts 8:12 “But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women” Notice here that they “believed” first in the name of Jesus Christ. Ephesians 2:5 “Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)” Ephesians 2:8 “For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God;” To the woman who washed anointed and kissed Jesus’ feet, Jesus said to her Luke 7:48 “And he said unto her, ‘Thy sins are forgiven’” Luke 7:50 “And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.” Jesus did not command her to go and get baptized to finish her Salvation. Acts 16:31 “They said, Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household." John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.” John 6:40 "For this is the will of My Father, that everyone who beholds the Son and believes in Him will have eternal life, and I Myself will raise him up on the last day." Romans 10:9 “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved” KJV Romans 10:13 “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” John 11: 25-26 Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me will live even if he dies, and everyone who lives and believes in Me will never die. Do you believe this?" John 3:18 "He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God John 3:14-15 “And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.” John 20:31 “but these have been written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing you may have life in His name. I noticed just before posting this Tim had posted with some of the same verses that I have here but I left them anyway :-) Love in Christ bgg |

Tim, Thanks, You did a fine job in expanding my knowledge in this area along with Makarios' reply and the web site. I don't particularly care for the NIV translation but I don't see much need for worry here. It makes sense why some verses are not included although they show most in the footnotes. God Bless bgg |

29 | So what was the 2nd vision??? | Bible general Archive 1 | childoftheking | 36408 | ||
Hi Leftwich, If you are using that verse (Matthew 6:3) in regards to whether or not to share this vision of yours, then I think you're slightly off. Notice in the verses below that Jesus is talking about giving to the poor, but I think we can apply what He said to any works that we do. If we do something nice for someone, then don't let others know so as to get a pat on the back for it or our reward will be paid in full right then and there and we'll get no reward from the father when we get to heaven. Matthew 6:1-4 "So when you give to the poor, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, so that they may be honored by men. Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full. "But when you give to the poor, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving will be in secret; and your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you." I have been guilty of this at times myself but it is best not to take a verse our of context for use any way we want it. If I'm way off base as to your usage of this verse then I apologize but this is how it seems to me. God Bless bgg |

30 | DOES GOD AGREE WITH CREMATION | Bible general Archive 1 | childoftheking | 36251 | ||
Hi Johnny, The burning you speak of in Leviticus 20:14 is from the Hebrew word saraph, which means to burn, to set on fire. Were they burnt to death? Most likely, but as punishment. This however can not be a guideline as to what to do with our bodies. We can take a look at 2Chron. 16:14 which says, “And they buried him in his own sepulchres, which he had made for himself in the city of David, and laid him in the bed which was filled with sweet odours and divers kinds [of spices] prepared by the apothecaries' art: and they made a very great burning for him.” The burning there is “srephah” ser-ay-faw which means cremation, a burning (thoroughly) They made a great burning: “according to some, for consuming the spices. According to others, it was a magnificent pile for the cremation of the corpse--a usage which was at that time, and long after, prevalent among the Hebrews, and the omission of which in the case of royal personages was reckoned a great indignity” JFB Jeremiah 34:4-5 "Yet hear the word of the LORD, O Zedekiah king of Judah! Thus says the LORD concerning you, 'You will not die by the sword 'You will die in peace; and as spices were burned for your fathers, the former kings who were before you, so they will burn spices for you; and they will lament for you, "Alas, lord!"' For I have spoken the word," declares the LORD. The word “burned” is “misraphah” mis’raw’faw’ which means combustion, i.e. cremation (of a corpse). Strongs Hebrew Concordance So they did cremate at times, with spices yes, but it seems the bodies were burned as well and yes God burned people as well for various reasons. Peace and Joy in Jesus bgg |

31 | Did God elect me? Or did I elect Him? | John 6:37 | childoftheking | 36128 | ||
Greetings Chynna, There's nothing wrong and certainly nothing to be ashamed of in sharing your testimony. It may be that someone else has gone through, or is going through what you did and be helped by what you've shared. There are many who are or have been disobedient or resistant to what the Lord wants us to do and I myself have been this way in times past and it's hard for the Lord to work with us when we don't do what he wants. It's kind of like this, If the Lord gives us step 1, as in he wants us to do something, then we'll never get to step # 2 if we don't complete step 1, and this is what I think he meant by losing you. I personally don't believe that Baptism is a prerequisite of Salvation, but of obedience after we're saved, which seems to be your case. You can do a search concerning baptism also. I believe that God has a hand in all Salvations as far as drawing them. John 6:44 "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 12:32 "And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me." It may also be that after reading the throng of posts on the subject of election that your curiosity will still not be satisfied and if that's the case then I suggest you ask another question. God Bless bgg |

32 | Jesus/Joseph/Jacob?or Jesus/Joseph/Heli? | Bible general Archive 1 | childoftheking | 36028 | ||
HI Mist, I’m Sorry, this is pretty clear in my mind but that’s the best I could explain it. I believe that Jesusman explains it a bit better. You mentioned, “ prove all things”. Yes this is true but that is not saying for us to prove what the bible says. The Word of God is what does the “proving” if you will. In the context of 1Thes 5:21 it’s speaking of proving that if what comes from man is of the Holy Spirit, is of God. In prior verses, 1Thes 5:19-20, it says: 19)“do not quench the spirit, 20) do not despise prophetic utterances, 21) but examine everything carefully.” Notice in 1 Corinthians 14:29 “Let two or three prophets speak, and let the others pass judgment.” This corresponds with 1Thes 5:21 in that the ”others” are to prove, if in fact these “prophetic utterances” are biblical. Also in 1 John 4:1 Testing the Spirits “Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.” We are to prove all things whether they are of man, or are of God, even what our Pastors preach. We are not to take anything for granted but search the scriptures. This is what I believe that verse it talking about. You also mention 1Cor 14:33 or actually just the first part of that verse. We must take the whole verse here. And again, it’s man and man’s actions that make the word confusing. This verse, this whole chapter is mostly talking about events that happen in Church. At the end of this chapter in verse 40 it says “but all things must be done properly and in an orderly manner” which is talking about things in the Church. All things must be done this way in order to keep things from getting disorderly or confused because “God is not a God of confusion”. “If they (things) are managed in a tumultuous and confused manner, what a notion must this give of the God who is worshipped, to considerate observers! Does it look as if he were the God of peace and order, and an enemy to confusion? Things should be managed so in divine worship that no unlovely nor dishonorable notion of God should be formed in the minds of observers” MH John 14:26 “But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.” Praise God!! bgg |

33 | Are all at the white throne judg. lost? | Revelation | childoftheking | 35914 | ||
Greetings Jesusman, If I may: You said "Do you honestly believe that you are exempt of being held accountable for your actions, and that you have no need to Fear God?" As far as being judged goes, we have no need to Fear God in that sense: 1 John 4:15) Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God. 16) And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. 17) Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world” “Happy are those who have so ordered and stated their cause according to the gospel as to know beforehand that they shall be justified in the great day of the Lord!” MH We have to stand before the Judgement seat of Christ (Romans 14:10) and be judged according to our works (2Cor 5:10) since we've been saved. We are already with the Lord so I don’t believe that we stand before the Great White Throne. Are you saying that we as Christians who have already been raptured to be with our Lord are going to be judged twice? Is the Judgement Seat of Christ the same as the Great White Throne Judgement? I always thought that they were two separate Judgements. Jesus was not judged. Thanks Peace and Joy in Jesus bgg |

Amen brother, It is indeed the Holy Spirit that teaches us the Spiritual things of God. Primarily from reading the Scriptures but as you say, something can be gained from other readings. 1 Cor. 2:13 "which things we also speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, combining spiritual thoughts with spiritual words" John 14:26 "But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you.

37 | Thanks, but what about....? | Eph 2:5 | childoftheking | 35655 | ||
Hi brother zach†, Interesting example but I think that the "boat" is never so full that one can't get in and I also don't think that Salvation is so fleeting that if one slipped away for whatever reason, that they would be lost forever and besides, Jesus is not going to let go of our hand. That man could not hold onto that wrope without Jesus' help. Without Jesus we can do nothing and He will never leave us nor forsake us. Jesus said that no man can pluck us from His or His Father's hand but we can walk or jump out? John 10:28) "And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. 29) My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand. But Hey..... this is just my view :) Peace and Joy in Jesus Bgg |

38 | Divisions and disunity?? | John 17:21 | childoftheking | 35649 | ||
Brian My point is how non-believers see Christians. I am not focusing on or attacking any denominations. My point is the contention between Christians must be kept to a minimum. Non believers watch Christians very closely to see how we act and respond to situations, what we say, how we live and what we believe. Some have said that we should be perfect if we're to profess that we're Christians and followers of Jesus. Romans 14, Ephesians 4 My point with Denominations is that between Lutheran, Protestant, Episcopalian, Congregationalist, Roman Catholic, Methodist, Presbyterian, Baptist, Adventist, Pentecostal, Evangelical and whatever other Denominations are out there, it can be intimidating to some. They wonder why there are so many different religions and denominations and wonder which is right or if it's even worth it. Me, I am simply a born again Christian!! No better or worse than anyone in a particualr Denomination. As per Mark 9:38 – 40: I’m not exactly sure what this verse has to do with what I’m trying to get across. I am certainly not going to forbid any one from preaching the Gospel and I certainly don’t judge anyone but if I don’t believe something is scriptural I will voice my opinion. I am certainly not always correct. Why did Jesus tell John not to forbid him? It is only God who knows the heart of man It’s obvious from the passages below that everyone that uses the Name of Jesus will not get to heaven. Matthew 7 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. Does this answer your question Brian? bgg |

40 | tribulation vs. wrath | NT general Archive 1 | childoftheking | 35593 | ||
zach†, I understand what you say about confusion but I'm not going to second guess all I believe in becuase I happen to be wrong about the timing of the rapture. I happen to believe in the "pre trib" rapture. Here's the thing, even if my interpretation of when the Lord is coming back is wrong, I'm still not going to deny my faith. I will still hold fast to the truth that the Lord is coming for his Church. I will still hold fast to the plain truth that Jesus will never leave me nor forsake me. I still know that the Ant-Christ is coming to decieve the world, so I believe I would bury myself deeper into the Word and into Prayer with Jesus. My faith and hope concerning this is not based on "when" the Lord is coming back but that he "is" coming back and this I believe that all Christians can agree and I pray that we all keep that fact close to our hearts. God Bless bgg |
