21 | Doesn't it say that God would cause evil | 2 Sam 12:11 | userdoe220 | 16462 | ||
P.S. There are those that would say your understanding of those passages are anthropormorphic. God never changes in response to a human act; It only appears that God changes from our perspective. For God to change his mind would make God less than perfect. And since God is perfect, God cannot change. |

22 | followup | Jer 18:8 | userdoe220 | 13880 | ||
For now I agree with you wholeheartedly on this issue. I was asked a question by a skeptic and he didn't buy my/our explanation. He felt we adopted the term, anthorpormiphic, to 1.) help undue an obvious Biblica Contradiction and 2.) wedge "another" Bible verse into our theology and make God fit into our understanding. Disgruntled X-Preachers are the hardest to reach out too. |

23 | Did you forgive the Tuesday terrorists? | Matt 6:14 | userdoe220 | 16289 | ||
1 John 2:1-2 2:1 My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have one who speaks to the Father in our defense-Jesus Christ, the Righteous One. 2 He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world. No comment is necessary...even my child fully understands this verse and he is 10 years old. |

25 | Bill Mc, Are you twisting Scripture? | Matt 6:14 | userdoe220 | 16325 | ||
Do you mean to tell me that Jesus' teachings are not in effect for belivers today? The very term, Christian, implies that we are followers of the teachings of Christ! How can you, or any other person, say that Jesus' teachings do not apply to the N.T. believer? I only have one comment for post, "Please put away your darby handbook." |

26 | Bill Mc, Are you twisting Scripture? | Matt 6:14 | userdoe220 | 16348 | ||
First, I disagree and feel that this passage in Luke does apply to believers today. What is Luke trying to tell his reader, Theopholus, about the teachings of Jesus? Luke is trying to emphasize one point in this passage: Life as a disciple of Jesus will not necessarily be easy. Being a disciple of Jesus will cost you and you need to sit down and determine weather it is worth it before you go down this road (boy did it ever. Luke wrote this book around 60-62 AD. In 64 AD the Christians were officially removed from the umbrella of Judaism and made to participate in Emperor worship. Christians refused and were martyred for their faith in droves.) What Jesus was emphasizing was being a disciple of Jesus would/will cost you! You will notice that this specific demand, to sell everything, was not given to everyone even in Jesus’ own ministry. There were many people Jesus interacted with (Nicodemus. The women at the Well. Centurian) during his lifetime and He never made this specific demand of them. This demand was made specifically to this group of people however; the principle of sacrifice applies to all of Jesus’ disciples. The Universal cost of discipleship is still the same—it does not come without a price. Just so happens that the demand for these individuals was monetary sacrifice. Others might be persecution to various degrees…Still other martyrdom. Following Christ usually comes at some cost (I am not saying salvation is earned. So don’t try to red herring). My cost was small considering others who had gone before me in the faith. That is the thrust of Jesus’ teach in this passage. And yes, the principle does apply to us as N.T. believers. Matthew simply records the historical progression of Jesus’ mission in the world. His first emphasis was to go to the Jews and then the Gentiles would be included later (sounds like an O.T. prophecy to me.). The great commission did not do away with Jesus’ mission, just expanded it to include other nations as well. Yes, we must use discernment when studying the scriptures. It is a shame when we are so “discerning” that we nullify the teachings of Jesus. I am considered a Christian because I follow the teachings of Christ. If you believe that Christ’s teachings don’t apply to us and Paul’s do, what do you consider yourself? A Paulian. |

28 | Why the forgiveness strawman? | Matt 6:14 | userdoe220 | 16370 | ||
I guess we are on the same page on this one. I must have missed a post or two from Steve and maybe from you. Sorry. |

29 | I do agree with most of your post, but.. | Matt 6:14 | userdoe220 | 16374 | ||
Well, on my previous post I hope I clarified that issue. I must have missed some posts somwhere and thought you felt that Christians don't have to forgive...So, we both got some good Bible study lessons and were really coming at the same truth from different angles: If a Christian chooses not to forgive, there will be consequences. It is not a salvation issue, but a rewards issue. | ||||||
30 | Will Judas be on one of the thrones? | Matt 19:28 | userdoe220 | 16609 | ||
You do not hear from many of the original 12 apostles in the Bible, yet no one would say they are not part of the 12. I don't think an argument from silence is good enough to remove Matthias from the ranks of the 12. I personally see no sciptural evidence to remove Matthias from the list of the 12. |

31 | "Herodians" who were they? | Matt 22:16 | userdoe220 | 21438 | ||
I understand from reading Searcher56 and Nolans post what they believe about the Herodians. They have answered DavidB's question. After reading your post I still have no clue what you believe about the Herodians. All I can gather from your posts is that you value the book of Proverbs and enjoy using the Strong's concordance. I guess what I am saying is that your post does not answer DavidB's question at all. What are you trying to say in your post? Are you saying the Herodians were not supporters of Herod? You have implied in your post that searcher56 was wrong, threw out a number of passages from Proverbs (nothing wrong with that) but you are leaving the forum in the dark concerning your word study and the proper view of who the Herodians were. |

32 | "Herodians" who were they? | Matt 22:16 | userdoe220 | 21521 | ||
All I wanted was a straight answer from you and not a riddle. You left me, and I am sure everyone else, wondering what you believe about the Herodians and why the other two authors are wrong. Sorry I offended you by asking you to provide further clarification. Trust me I will not offend you again in this way. | ||||||
33 | "Herodians" who were they? | Matt 22:16 | userdoe220 | 21531 | ||
"If you want to pick a fight..." No. I just want to pick your brain. I want you to answer the question, "who were the Herodians." "I came to this forum with hopes of sharing some light..." If you really came to this forum with hopes of sharing some light, than why won't you answer my question? I will restate it for you. "Who do you believe were the Herodians and how does your belief differ than searcher56 and Nolan? Please, shed some light on this issue. "what about UNITY and HARMONY?.." Well, truth divides...Ask Jesus. "When you people of arrogance who know it all..." Is it arrogance to ask you to answer a question about your beliefs? Is it arrogance to disagree with your position on a topic? I would say no to each question. It is arrogant to berate others for disagreeing with you when you won't even explain to us your beliefs. It is arrogant to tell someone they are wrong and not even share with them the truths you have learned--especially when they ask you for further clarification. "...I'm sorry you don't understand..." What don't "we" understand? How can we understand your position if you won't tell us in plain language what you believe and not in riddles? Since your railing, loveless attack on me, I have reviewed some of your past posts and realized that it is normal for you to never answer a question directly. When challenged, you always elevate yourself as the Beneficiary of some special secret knowledge that only you have and everyone else as spiritually blinded from the real truth hidden in the scriptures (Letters). That is arrogance. "And if any man think he is saved and another is not, then I caution you in love to reconsider your views" Didn't Jesus teach that the way to heaven would be the road less traveled? Didn't Jesus teach that he is the only way to the Father? Didn't Paul teach that there was only one name by which men can be saved? Tell me how I am missing the plain language of the gospel taught by the apostles and Jesus himself. "This is not only to you who has questioned me falsely" How is asking you to tell me your beliefs about who the Herodians were "questioning you falsely?" Are we not supposed to question the beliefs of others? Or would you prefer us to accept everything you say blindly? "…but to those who understand what is really going on.." Could you tell us in the forum what is really going on? Again, you are speaking in riddles and not explaining your beliefs. From reviewing your previous posts, I wonder if you really are a believer in Christ or are you just playing around on this forum trying to get a response from the members. |

34 | "Herodians" who were they? | Matt 22:16 | userdoe220 | 21533 | ||
I agree. After I read his post in this thread--and after the railing attack--I went to Casiv's history to view his past posts. I still have no clue what he is talking about in this post and many others I read through. Talking in riddles and bragging about his superior revelation when challenged seems to be his norm when posting on this forum. You have me curious about praismaster, now. I plan on taking lunch and review some of His or her comments. :-) |

35 | Origin of Rapture of the Church doctrine | Matt 24:3 | userdoe220 | 20823 | ||
I think the concept of the rapture is taught...caught away in love...but I believe the event is synonomous with the 2nd coming of Christ. | ||||||
36 | Jesus' early years? | Luke 2:52 | userdoe220 | 10572 | ||
One of my remarks (Jesus went to India) was actually directed towards a book titled, THe lost years of Jesus (I might have the book title a little crossed). This book was written recently, compared to the books I referenced, and is full of a ton of un-documented nonsense that people are taking for truth. Yes, I agree with you 100 percent: "The age of deception has not ended nor the capacity to deceive diminished." |

37 | Can a believer lose his salvation? | Luke 8:13 | userdoe220 | 9678 | ||
Heb. 6:4. Please read. I have never once read, or heard a satisfactory response to this passage. I hear a lot of "you have to know the context" like I have not read and studied the passage in context. Also, the scripture gives plenty of examples of people "making shipwreck" of their faith. Paul telling others that he could become a castaway (1 cor.) and many other passages I could site. Those who come those passages and try to tell you that they do not refer to a loss of salvation are forcing those passages into their theological biases. |
||||||
38 | Predetermined or Free Will | Luke 8:13 | userdoe220 | 9679 | ||
Of course he chose us to be holy and blameless in him before the foundation of the world. His predestined plan for all believers is a life of holiness! "He chose us...to be holy..." Of course he predetermined that he would adopt those who accepted him out of his own kindness. He predestined us (created a pre-determined plan)...to be adopted. I don't see how this passage backs up fatalistic salvation? |
||||||
39 | How do you then interpret the verses... | Luke 8:13 | userdoe220 | 9681 | ||
Where do we get that man is totally depraved and cannot make a right spiritual thought? I read in a book that man is 100 percent spiritually dead because of Adam's fall. I thought Paul stated we were dead, "because all have sinned?" Paul even listed the spiritual spiral in chapter 1 of Romans. Why would he need to list the spiral if everyone is already at the bottom and will not acknowledge God? who is right? Paul or John McArthur? | ||||||
40 | Can a believer lose his salvation? | Luke 8:13 | userdoe220 | 9687 | ||
Paul said that he could! "Lest I preach to others and I myself become a casteaway" I think I beleive Paul's very plain statement on the matter. No one can force you out of God's hand...Jesus is right. They can take your life, threaten your life etc., and you will still be saved. They can even tell you that you are not saved and you will still be saved. But it does not do away with our free will to say to God, "God, I don't want to serve you anymore. In fact, I plan on opening up a radio station, light up a cigar, cuss people out and teach heresy!" And to repond with, "Well do you think a true believer would do that..." does not satisfy the many passages that seem to prove otherwise. Don't let JOhn McAruthur, Charles Ryrie/Stanley tell you what those passages teach. Read the Bible for yourself and ask, "If I never read about eternal security, How would I approach the many verses out there that seem to blow it out of the water?" |
