21 | E-Security only for true believers? | Matt 7:21 | ebrain | 187398 | ||
How does one know? I am sure you will have heard someone when giving their testimony say something like, "Before I became a Christian, I did from time to time open a Bible, but frankly, I just could not understand it,, it didn't seem to make any sense to me, but now that I have become a believer,, It is all together a totally different book". No it is not, it is exactly the same book that it always has been. It is you the reader who have changed, you are a "new creation", you have been "Born again", you are no longer the "natural man", referred to at . 1 Cor 2:14 But a natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually appraised. Or do you think that the Lord our God who has saved you is powerless to confirm to you the reality of your salvation? ebrain. |

Hi Lookn4ward2Heaven. Thank you for your post. You said. "I did not say that Matt 7:21 referred to genuine Christians. I did say, "eternal security is provided for those who are genuine believers." I wholeheartedly agree with you, genuine believers are eternally secure. If you would like me to post a series of Bible verses that teach this, then please ask. ebrain. |

Hello BradK. If I were to say that Joseph was a type of Christ, would this be, "a theological assumption or simple speculation."? Please advise. Thank you. ebrain. |

Your post of 8.06 pm yesterday confirms what I suspected, that your previous one was nothing more than pure sarcasm. Many visitors to this site, who are looking for help, and advice, will have and concluded that Christians are compassionate, and love one another.. What do you suppose they will think when they read material like yours, which is both uncalled for, and insulting to the recipient. |

Subject: Speculation. Specualtion can be good, or bad, it can bless, or introduce error. If, Speculation is to be of any value it must satisfy certain criteria. 1. It must honor the Lord our God, and cause people to praise, and glorify His Holy Name. 2. It must honor the person, and work of our Lord Jesus Christ. 3. It must be in agreement with all the other verses of Scripture that have something to say on that subject. 4. It must be of benefit to believers, and enable them to be more Christ like. If it does in fact satisfy all the above, then I think it is worth considering. |

Hi Jeff. Thank you for your post which I have printed out, and will study, before replying, however, in the meanwhile, please have a look at what follows, and let me have your answer. God bless. Edwin. "Allow me to make a statement that I know you will wholeheartedly agree with, and then let me ask you ask you a question. Adam was made, sinlessly perfect, in the image of God, and after His likeness, also Adam was not deceived. What sort of image of God, did Adam who was sinlessly perfect, and not deceived give?" Thank you. |

Hi Hank. Thank you so much for your kind words of support, which I find most informative, and very encouraging. Allow me to make a statement that I know you will wholeheartedly agree with, and then let me ask you ask you a question. Firstly the statement. Adam was made, sinlessly perfect, in the image of God, and after His likeness, also Adam was not deceived. And now the question. What sort of image of God, did Adam who was sinlessly perfect, and not deceived give? ebrain. |

Continuation. From the Satanic view point of wishing to destroy God's creation, he had 3 possible approaches, 1 the pair when they were together, 2 the man when he was by himself, or 3 the woman when she was by herself. Now which of these 3 do you think would be the most likely to succeed from the Devils' point of view. What is needed here of course is commentary, Divine commentary not man's opinion. Lets have a look then at Romans Ch 5 v 14. and also 1st Tim Ch 2 vs 13-15. We learn from Romans that Adam was a Type (Pattern)of Him who was to come, remember that The Lord Jesus who knew no sin permitted Himself to be made sin to save His Bride. 1st Timothy says that She(Eve) shall be saved in the childbearing. Now how much childbearing had she done?, non, can she fertilize herself ?, no. Now assuming that Adam was else ware at the time of the temptation, when he returned to his wife, he was horrified to see that she had fallen into temptation, she is now cut off from him, and lost for ever, as she is going to hell. Adam is still sinlessly perfect (As God had made him) and sinlessness can have no contact with sin. He loves his wife with a pure and holy love as no fallen man can have any idea of. The next generation of the Human race has not yet been started, and if it were not to be started then the kinsman redeemer could not be born into it. The only way in which mankind can continue, is if Adam becomes like Eve, a sinner, remember, he is not deceived, he knows just what he is doing. he does not go to the tree as she had done, but takes the fruit from her hand and partakes thereof. Symbolic of Jesus taking our sin to Himself Now what sort of likeness of God do we get. A Self sacrificing Hero who became sin for us, or a Wimp. I know which likeness I prefer, how about you. In Him stbrain I find myself in complete, and total agreement with what "stbrain" had to say. There are, however, two points that might be worth mentioning. Firstly some people will point out that Gen Ch 3 v 6b. says that "he was with her". Well of course he was with her, how else could he have taken the fruit from her in the first place?. He had to be there. Why is there no mention whatsoever of Adam in all the six verses, until after the fruit was taken by Eve?. Why is The Holy Spirit telling us the obvious?. Well perhaps He is not, it might just be His rather subtle way of telling us that Adam was not there all the time. Now the second point, Who told Adam how to save Eve?. I will tell you the answer to that one, when you tell me how Noah knew the difference between "Clean", and "Unclean" at Gen Ch 7 v 2. Yours in His service. pabrain. Note. Let me explain why I sometimes used "stbrain", and at other times "pabrain". The material above is taken from contributions I made some time ago to www.BibleStudy.com for some technical reason it was not always possible to go on line using pabrain, if that was the case I would then use stbrain. |

33 | Die unexposed to Jesus no redemption? | Eph 1:5 | ebrain | 186442 | ||
Hi John. Re, your references to, Shem and Ham and Japheth. It might be of interest to note that the three persons whose salvations are described in Acts from Ch 8:26 to Ch 10:48, are the descendants of the three sons of Noah.. The Ethiopian is a descendant of Ham, Saul is a descendant of Shem, and Cornelius is a descendant of Japheth. Not without significance I feel sure. ebrain. |

36 | eph 1:4-5 what is predestination, chosen | Bible general Archive 3 | ebrain | 186277 | ||
Hi Mark. You say. "I believe God is fair, and I likewise believe that none have merit. I think God intervenes in each of our lives, and we have a choice to make, whether to accept His intervention, or reject it." When I said... "Tell me did Job fear God of his own free will, or as Satan said, because of what God had done for Job, when the Lord gave Satan permission to take away the blessing?" , and also,, "Do you mean to tell me that God said the above, knowing full well that it is an impossibility for any man to "turn from his ways and live?" Your reply was. "I agree entirely with these points you are making.". Then let me ask you a question.. Would you say that God's description of Job indicates that this man had "Merit", or not, and if not just what was it that Job had that God was referring to? You also said... "I think that God does this to everyone, and that as each person, at some point in their life adequately understands that they have the option to receive or reject, if they receive, then they are regenerated, or born again". Now if "God does this to everyone", then please explain. Jhn 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. and, Jhn 6:65 And he said, “This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless it is granted him by the Father.” In light of... Jhn 6:37 “All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never cast out. Jhn 6:38 “For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will but the will of him who sent me. Jhn 6:39 “And this is the will of him who sent me, that I should lose nothing of all that he has given me, but raise it up on the last day. 1Cr 1:26 For consider your calling, brothers: not many of you were wise according to worldly standards,* not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth. Mat 7:14 “For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few. Jesus said,, "All that the Father gives me will come to me,," You have said,, "God does this to everyone".. Now this would mean that all people would come to Christ for salvation, and He said,,"and whoever comes to me I will never cast out"... Which would mean that the entire human race would be saved, whereas Scripture tells us,," and those who find it are few". It is possible that my understanding of these verses is incorrect, if so then please feel free to correct me. Bless you brother. Edwin. |

Hi Mark. You say. "I believe God is fair, and I likewise believe that none have merit. I think God intervenes in each of our lives, and we have a choice to make, whether to accept His intervention, or reject it". If I understand you correctly, you are saying that the "Human Race", is de vided into two groups, those who will accept, and those who won't, if this is the case, please explain. "Rom 3:11 There is none who understands; There is none who seeks after God". And now "Election". 1Th 1:4 knowing, beloved brethren, your election by God. Please explain for me the difference between "election by God", and "predestination by God", or could they both be the same. If the Lord our God has "Elected" an individual to be saved, how can you say that He has not also "Predestined" that same person to be saved? I agree that we are dealing with two different words, but surely both are part of the same process? Every blessing. Edwin. |

Hi Mark. You say. "but that God has give disfavor to Esau". Could you explain to me why you think God disfavors Esau? and please don't hide behind, "God is Sovereign, He can do just what He likes, He is answerable to no one." The problem here Mark is that if one maintains that it is impossible for any human to have "Merit", without Divine assistance, then one is in serious danger of miss representing the Lord.. What about those who do not have "Merit",, and end up in Hell, when they could not possibly have "Merit", in any case without His intervention? If on the other hand, not all humans are identical, but some (perhaps one percent, or even less), do have "Merit", then there is no problem. The Lord is not willing that any should perish,,, but broad is the way ect,ect. Shall not the judge of all the earth do right? Edwin. PS. This is not an easy subject, and I am well aware that I might not have used the best words to explain just what my understanding is. |

Hi again Mark. I should have included in my last post that election is according to foreknowledge. Rom 8:29 For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. Edwin. |
