Brother Doc, Do you think what Jeff is saying is that one "practicing drunkenness, adultery, deception, thievery, sorcery, and idolatry" MIGHT (as in IS, or MIGHT already be) saved? Steve |

Greetings Brother, Good stuff! Just wanted to toss this in the mix also. See Romans 8:9-11 Romans 8:9-11 (NASB) 8:9 However, you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the SPIRIT OF GOD dwells in you. But if anyone does not have the SPIRIT OF CHRIST, he does not belong to Him. 8:10 IF CHRIST IS IN YOU, though the body is dead because of sin, yet the spirit is alive because of righteousness. 8:11 But if the SPIRIT OF HIM who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you. Emphases added! Granted, the triune God is not easy to wrap ones mind around and even harder to put to words but it's impossible to argue against the deity of Christ Jesus considering all of Scripture! Yours was an excellent post brother! Well said!!! Steve |

25 | Amazing Grace! | Bible general Archive 4 | humbledbyhisgrace | 215210 | ||
We started the service off with a baptism and ended it with 6 coming forward. I think all were there to profess what they had received (Salvation). Praise God! There was so much going on I never did hear it all. As a commitment counselor I was working with a young lady and her Father that had come forward so I missed out on some of the details of the rest. It's always a blessing to witness the work God is doing in the hearts of His people! Steve |

Oh I understood the post with no problem. And the key is called discernment. I agree, there should be no games played here. Doc had already pointed out to the poster, this is a bible study forum. However, they simply ask the question are any biblical references or meanings behind the number. I fail to see any reason to assume the poster was playing games. If I missed something then please correct me. Could have simply been they were seeking the truth and instead found sarcasm. What kind of message does that send? Should we not instead try and draw them in, to discuss the truth with them? It's as if this has become too widely accepted on this forum. Why I don't know when there are so many of you that participate on this forum with so much knowledge of the scriptures that can be shared with others. I guess knowledge of scripture and wisdom don't always go hand in hand. I don't know if you have spent much time looking around the internet, but this is one of the best if not the best bible forums out there. Lot's of knowledge on this forum! But it's as if something is creeping into this place. We can either resist it are allow it to take over. I'm sorry brother, I don't want to be at odds with you or anyone else on this forum. The problem is too much of this goes on and I wonder how many realize the number of people that are reading along and never post. I also can't help but wonder how many are run off after reading some of the post. I know it's not my forum and I don't dictate the rules. I'm just concerned about some of the things I see. When you can't find God in it, then you have to wonder what it's doing here??? |

Hey Brad, I understand and I truly understand the heart felt passion many have when it comes to our God and His word. In regards to the regulars. I thank God for them! I've learned much from many on this forum. I read this forum daily and usually several times a day. This forum is a great place for learning there is no doubt about it and there are some good teachers here. I agree the heart of most of the regulars are in the right place most of the time. I pray my post did not come across as if they were not. Something I would like everyone to consider. When someone makes a post instead of taking the defensive approach simply give them the truth in God's word. No one, including the devil can defeat the truth. Regardless of what they say, the truth will always stand out and there is no need for pride or defensive language or sarcasm to strengthen it. If someone feels the need to defend God's word then it should be done as God has instructed 1 Pet. 3:15. The word of God will stand on it's own every time. When I think about God's word and it's power I always think about Hebrews 4:12 and Isaiah 55:11. Is that not some awesome scripture! What more could we possibly do to it to improve on that? Also Brad, I don't exclude myself from any of this. Not just on the forum but in my daily life as well. I'm just as guilty. You know it's funny how easy it is to recognize something when you are so familiar with it, good or bad. |

Try it again and don't look for someone else to interpret it for you. Allow the Holy Spirit to guide you as you read the words of God. No need to respond to the other post I mentioned. Just read them. Forget about the words of men, and pay close attention to the words of God that were shared with you. They were shared with you out of love in hopes that you will see the truth therein. |

I understand what your saying. For man without God, the truth is hard to accept 1 Corinthians 2:14. Your not the first nor will you be the last to think you know better then God. Our sinful and selfish nature wants things our way. God's ways are different then mans (Isaiah 55:9) and without Him you cannot understand them. Of course you want no part of Christian love. Your still serving your master the devil at this point. He will not allow you to love as a Christian. But you have come to a place where people understand this. We are well aware of the hold he has on you. If you read the bible as you stated, then you should know that Christ died for the sinner. He didn't die for the saved for there were none Romans 3:23. This includes you and me. And regardless of weather you want to be a part of Christian love or not, you are. You came into this forum and introduced yourself to many who hold to the word of God, have tasted His love and are guided by the Holy Spirit. We love you despite your opinion of us. I for one am truly concerned for your salvation. There is more proof for you that God exist. If the Holy Spirit was not in me then why would I care one way or the other about you when all I know is your screen name and what you have posted. Yet I pray for you that God will open your eyes so that you too will know Him as I have come to know Him. |

Romans 10:9 It's not my agenda. I’m simply a follower of the Christ. My Saviour and your only hope for salvation. Ironic how your own words reveal who you are and what you’re about. This is but one example as all your post speak for themselves, but thanks again for making it easy for all to see your motives. You say “This verse doesnt answer the question. You have your own agenda, I see.” Humm… my own agenda … as in “also” and it conflicts with yours. Interesting! But I understand you well. The truth is hard for you to accept and you need to be able to feel good about where you are at in life. You’re struggling with this because deep down inside you know you’re wrong but unwilling to change. So for you and others like you, there is a need to convince others to see things your way so you can be at peace with it. Problem is, there is no peace and you will never find that peace until you understand Romans 10:9 and accept it. If you were at peace with your beliefs, then you would be comfortable with your own kind. But you find no peace and comfort there. This is why you are drawn to Christians. As long as there are those that understand and hold to the truth, you cannot have peace where you stand. You have the desire and need to change their minds because you feel inside this will justify you and there will be peace in that for you. Sorry but this will never happen! This is why I point you to Romans 10:9. You will never find peace nor will you ever be able to change the truth. My hope is that you will hear God’s words and accept them. In Him you will find the answers and the peace you seek. |

Hey Scoop! Interesting post! Was it fear of the judgement that caused you to accept Jesus as your Lord and Saviour? If so, what is it about the judgment you feared? Also, could you explain in your opinion why there would be no need for judgement day if "once saved always saved"? Steve |

35 | if you are saved are you always saved? | Bible general Archive 3 | humbledbyhisgrace | 162911 | ||
Hey Scoop, You said "Salvation is free, but it ain't cheap". Very good point! Salvation was truly not cheap. Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ had to suffer for our salvation and die on the cross for our salvation. He understood there was nothing at all we could do for ourselves to save ourselves. Yet He loved us enough that even as sinners He went to the cross for our sins so that He alone could provide a way for us to be saved for our sins. We didn't have to do anything at all. Ours was only to accept His free gift. Praise God for being willing and capable of paying the price for our sin! Now, was your statement "Salvation is free, but not cheap" referring to what I said above or are you saying there is some price that we have to pay for it also? Steve |

Hello calmrage! You have made some interesting comments regarding lionheart's post in which he was trying to help you. You said " I hope you understand.. I know you were trying to make a point. However, I think it may only make people hard to understand what you are trying to say even though you use a lot of verses as reference. However, they are not what people want to know. " " You remind me of some pastors. In order to show how well they know about the Bible. Regardless of what the questions, they will make a big circle of long statements and at the end I was thinking.. For that question, it coule be answer in 1 minute which they can spend 15 minutes trying to make a point. Was that my question??? Or was I not directly enough??? " Be glad brother lionheart and the pastors you speak of do not give you a simple answer from a man's point of view. They know the importance and value of God's word and that this is where the truth comes from. And you are right, many times this is not "what people want to know". But this is a sign of a mature Christian not a show off. A mature Christian will point you to the scriptures so that the word of God is your guide and not their opinion. Think about that! Would you be more comfortable with lionhearts answer if he would have simply given his opinion and said yes or no to your question or the fact he guides you to scripture so you can see for yourself what the word of God has to say? You said "A Christian look alike (Mormon or Johovah witness) knocked on the door and say "Knock and ye should find "and spread the so called gospel, we believe? They say thngs so close to the truth... we believe??? " Read Galatians 1:6-10 and then read lionhearts post again. Notice his maturity in Christ as he points you to the word of God so that you may know the truth taught to you by God and not by man. You said "Again, simple question needs simple answer...." No. All questions should be seeking the truth regardless if the answer is simple or not. Your Brother in Christ, Steve |

I understand what you are saying! But I would encourage you to think about accepting another's opinion as truth. Always compare it with scripture! And when someone like lionheart or the pastors spoken of offer you scripture reference as answers thank God He has sent someone to you to point to His truth and not someone more interested in giving you an opinion. There is a difference! Searcher recommended a good web site for information along the lines of what you are asking and I think you will find it a good source of the distinctive teachings of many of the more popular false gospels. I want to use something you said as an example of why there is nothing more important then God's word to guide you and why you should rejoice when someone points you to scripture instead of giving you simple short answers to satisfy your question. You said " I have spoken with some Johova wittness people, they can also quote what the Bible says just like you and lionheart did and yet that is not enough to show that what actually they believe because their gospel is so close..." If you know the word of God and know the gospel as it is taught in the word of God, you will see that what the Jehovah Witness teach is not even close to what the word of God teaches. As a matter of fact, they have it so wrong I'm surprised they spelled Jesus correctly. It's when you don't know what the word of God teaches that you can and will be deceived. I hope you understand where I am coming from. I only wish to encourage you in seeking God's word as your guide even when you trust the source of the information you receive. God bless, Steve |

Parable, Perhaps it’s your hermeneutics that fail you. Consider this, you have taken God, Mary, and the sin of adultery and are trying to explain the conception. I would argue based on your attempt at exegesis on this matter you have failed to consider several important things that are required to properly do so. 1) Know what the scriptures teach about God. 2) Know what the scriptures teach about Mary. 3) Know what the scriptures teach about sin. 4) Know what the scriptures teach regarding the conception. Example: You have chosen to include the sin of adultery. Where did that come from? This is not mentioned in the scriptures regarding this event. Yet you are trying to attribute it to the event. In my opinion, your mistake here is not understanding what scripture teaches us about what sin is as well as what scripture teaches us about God. Answer this question for yourself. What does the bible say sin is? Not the different types of sin, but what is sin according to God’s word? Once you have answered that question and come to an understanding of what the scriptures say about God and Mary and the conception then you should be better prepared to explain it. You appear to be attempting exegesis without proper understanding and/or elimination of the major facts of what you seek to explain. Instead, you are assuming much and applying that which does not apply. You attempt to reconcile it based on your assumptions and faulty reasoning which appear to be rooted in the flesh and not the Spirit. Understand? By Faith, Steve |
