Dear Grace and Truth, I need to make a correction to a part of my last post, concerning Colossians 2:13; it was written in haste. col 2:13--When you were dead in your transgressions and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He made you alive together with Him, having forgiven us all our transgressions. I do still say that when Paul says "having forgiven us all our transgressions", it means all. Past, present and future. We were dead in our sins, but we have been quickened(brought back to life)by and through Him. God is my strength and power, and He makes my way perfect!! 2nd Samuel 22 |

Dear lialia, In addition to mommapbs' thoughtful response, I would add this: He asked this question for the same reason people have to be convinced to accept the free gift of Grace of God through Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. It should be a no-brainer, so why do some still reject it? Because, as you said, it means they would have to change. Contrast this story with the woman who had the flow of blood(Matthew 9:20-22), who took it upon herself to demonstrate her faith in Jesus' ability to heal her. God is my strength and power, and He makes my way perfect!! 2nd Samuel 22 |

Dear Grace and Truth, If we are saved, then we are already dead in our sins(Colossians 2:13)--"And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you ALL trespasses"(KJV). Key word: ALL The answer to your question is, yes, if we are saved, and even if we die committing a sin, we will go to Heaven. Why? Because "For by one offering he hath PERFECTED FOREVER them that are sanctified."(KJV) Salvation does not refer to a present condition, but a future one. Do we need salvation for anything in this life? No. We need to be saved in order to stand before the Eternal Judge and be pronounced "not guilty"(see Colossians 2:14). And notice in Romans 10:9, the Apostle Paul says "...you WILL BE saved." We will be saved in the Day of Judgment. Besides, what sins did Jesus die for? All of them, or only the ones you have committed in the past? He is exalted, the King is exalted on High!! 2nd Samuel 22 |

Dear bubbatate, With all due respect, I stand by what I said before, that all sin is willful. I would ask you this: How long must we think about a sin before we commit it? God does not have a timetable He uses to judge that. Whether we think about sinning for a day, a week, or even a split-second, it is still premeditated. It is still our flesh being in control(see Romans 8:1-8). How long did Uzzah think before he placed his hands on the Ark of the Covenant?(I Samuel 6:6-7) In the letters in Revelations, Jesus is addressing the churches which were making false professings of faith, those seeds that were sown among the thorns, if you will. Their faith was not salvific, that it would make them want to live for Christ. As far as Matthew 7, I would refer you to Acts, chapter 16, vv16-19. Prophesying and performing miracles are not signs of salvation. Don't forget, OT Saul consulted a medium, against the admonition of Deuteronomy 18:10. Also, the Antichrist and his false prophet will come performing signs and wonders. Touching on the Mosaic Law, the Apostle Paul tells us in Galatians 3:24-25, "Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster."(KJV) In other words, the Law teaches us how to live as Christ, so that we may have a saving faith. Then, once that faith is come, we are not bound to it neck-and-heel. Are we to obey it? Of course, the best we can. We have salvation, we have liberty, but "For you were called to freedom, brethren; only do not turn your freedom into an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another."(Galatians 5:13 NASB) But, we are human after all, so we will slip. That is when God pours out His grace upon us, the shed blood of Jesus Christ Our Lord. As far as your other post(about the trial), I would simply point you to Matthew 12: 9-13. By your belief and reliance on the Torah, Jesus should have been stoned for healing on the sabbath. Not once, but twice(see also John chapter 5). He is exalted, the King is exalted on High!! 2nd Samuel 22 |

Dear bubbatate, I do beleive that the sacrifice Jesus made upon the Cross was sufficient to cover every and all sin. I would refer you to Hebrews 9:15--"For this reason He is the mediator of a new covenant, so that, since a death has taken place for the redemption of the transgressions that were committed under the first covenant, those who have been called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance." In other words, any sin which would have required death under the old(Mosaic) covenant, Jesus paid for with His life(Romans 3:25). As for the passage in Hebrews 10:26-31.... vv26-27--EVERY sin we commit is done willfully. We don't sin by accident, agreed? What is being referred to here is continual, ongoing sin. Even if we profess to accept Christ as our Saviour, we must show it in the things we do and the way we live(James 2:17-19), and put away the old man(Ephesians 4:22). v28, vv30-31--self-explanatory. v29--I truly believe this speaks to those who have heard the Gospel, but still want to live under the old Mosaic Law. They have heard of the sacrifice Jesus made on our behalf, yet "count the blood of the covenant that sanctified Him an unholy thing". They still want to seek their own righteousness through the Law, thus "insulting the Spirit of grace." He is exalted, the King is exalted on High!! 2nd Samuel 22 |

Dear bubbatate, You wrote, "With all due respect, get your scissors, I personally prefer a single edged razor blade, and remove Heb 10:26 and 29 from your Bible…..it’s pure bunk." So now, if we don't like a certain passage, we can just cut and paste the Holy and Inspired Word of God? How absolutely Mormon!! Considering your false assumption that there are some sins the Blood of Jesus does not cover, I would have to ask you about the thief whom Jesus told they would be in Paradise. You don't think that when the Bible refers to him as a "thief", he got busted for breaking and entering, do you? From all historical references, this was a man who killed, raped, plundered, and did all sorts of wickedness. Also, what did Jesus ask of the Father when they nailed Him to the cross? "Forgive them Father, they know not what they do." Now, let's look at this request, shall we? The Romans who were driving the nails(and the Jews who demanded it), were all, in light of Matthew 5 and Exodus 20, guilty of murder. But Jesus said what?? "Forgive them" The woman caught in the act of adultery. What does Jesus say in John 8:11? "Neither do I condemn you." Now keep in mind, Jesus is God. Therefore, God did not condemn the woman. Matthew 12:5--"Or have you not read in the Law, that on the Sabbath the priests in the temple break the Sabbath and are innocent?" Does this mean we have to stone our pastor if he preaches on Sunday? I could go on, and I may at a later date. I will leave you with I John 4:10--"Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins." Notice, it does not say "some of our sins". He is exalted, the King is exalted on High!! 2nd Samuel 22 |

Dear InTheAndes, Welcome to the forum!! You truly are an example of what it means to "forsake all, take up the Cross and follow Him." I will be "giving up" a week(like it was mine to begin with!!) at the end of July to travel with my church to Jeddito,AZ to witness to the Navajo. I understand what you are saying about how every little thing we do is going to offend SOMEBODY. Example, observing the Sabbath. Is it Saturday, or Sunday? With all the changes to the calendar over the last millenia or so, who knows? How many leap years have been missed? Today's Sunday, how do we know it really isn't Wednesday??? One thing you mentioned in your post caught my eye. You said, "because some christians are "offended" that it was expensive. "You should sell that couch and use the money to feed the poor" blah blah blah, You sell something that you own." Boy, did somebody just step out of Matthew 26 or what? Matt 26:7 a woman came to Him with an alabaster vial of very costly perfume, and she poured it on His head as He reclined at the table. Matt 26:8 But the disciples were indignant when they saw this, and said, "Why this waste? Matt 26:9 "For this perfume might have been sold for a high price and the money given to the poor." Be strong, persevere, always seek His face, and continue to be a worthy vessel for Our Lord to work through. He is exalted, the King is exalted on High!! 2nd Samuel 22 |

Dear faith531, Matt 12:2 But when the Pharisees saw this, they said to Him, "Look, Your disciples do what is not lawful to do on a Sabbath." Matt 12:3 But He said to them, "Have you not read what David did when he became hungry, he and his companions, Matt 12:4 how he entered the house of God, and they ate the consecrated bread, which was not lawful for him to eat nor for those with him, but for the priests alone? Matt 12:5 "Or have you not read in the Law, that on the Sabbath the priests in the temple break the Sabbath and are innocent? Matt 12:8 "For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath." He is exalted, the King is exalted on High!! 2nd Samuel 22 |

31 | who is babylon rev 18 | Revelation | 2ndSamuel22 | 53530 | ||
Dear Hank, Ha, we meet again..:) I must admit, the weekend following 9/11, I read through the Book of the Revelation. My heart nearly stopped when I read chapter 18. I don't think it refers to NYC, but... 2 Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit... 9 And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning, 12 The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble, 13 And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men. 14 And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee, and all things which were dainty and goodly are departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all. 15 The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing, 17 For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off, 18 And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city! 19 ...weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate. The world is made rich by the trade they do through NYC, and let's face it, it is home to all sorts of uncleanness. However, it isn't the Babylon of Revelation 18. He is exalted, the King is exalted on High!! 2nd Samuel 22 |

Dear Hank, I do appreciate your concern over using the term "freak" to describe a follower of Our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ. Let me explain a little about the song I mentioned: There is a Christian rock group(not to open a dissertation on THAT phrase) called DC Talk. There most famous song is called "Jesus Freak". They actually turn the tables on those who use that term derisively. The chorus goes like this: What would people think when they hear that I'm a Jesus Freak? What will people do when they find out it's true? I don't really care if they label me a "Jesus Freak" There ain't no disguising the truth I think you get the picture.:) He is exalted, the King is exalted on High!! 2nd Samuel 22 |

33 | DO NOT BE YOKED WITH UNBELIEVERS.... | 2 Cor 6:14 | 2ndSamuel22 | 53491 | ||
Dear heaven, You have done well in coming here, instead of any secular therapist or shrink. You seem to be very strong in your conviction, and yes Satan will come after you as well. But stay strong, resist the devil, and he shall flee. When you feel or hear him coming around, tell him, "In the name of Jesus Christ my Lord, I command you to be gone." Satan must flee at the command of the name of Jesus. Here is my take on what must be done to bring your boyfriend back to his senses: 1. You must understand that YOU cannot change him. This can only be done by the Spirit of conviction. Remember, we do not choose God, He chooses us(John 15:16). We are but a vessel for God to work through, and to be glorified through. 2. Pray. After that, pray. And again, pray(Luke 18:7). And don't pray from a strictly defensive standpoint. Attack Satan. Invoke the name of Jesus Christ Our Lord, His Holy Blood, and quote Scripture constantly. This was how Jesus rebuked Satan in Matthew 4. By quoting Scripture. Besides, if you notice in Ephesians ch.6(the whole armour of God), the word of God is the only weapon of offense. So use it. 3. Do not abandon him. I don't mean you should go back to dating him yet, but call him, tell him you are praying for him. Let him hear Christ in your voice. Do not get angry with him(I know that may be difficult). Plead with him not so much for him to come back to you, but for him to return to his first Love, Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ(Revelations 2:4). 4. Pray. Pray for God to show you if it is His will that the two of you get back together. Do not do anything until you get your answer from Him. In conclusion, remember that even though your boyfriend may have left, God never will. If you always have Him in your heart, you will never be alone. He will be your Comforter(John 16:7). Your Provider(Genesis 22:14). Your Life(John 14:6). May the peace of God be with you. God Bless!! He is exalted, the King is exalted on High!! 2nd Samuel 22 |

Dear Steve, The people who believe this way don't realize one thing: That when the Jewish scribes copied manuscripts, there were so many steps they had to go through to do it. I found a website, detailing some. I won't go into all of them here, but they were pretty strict. He is exalted, the King is exalted on High!! 2nd Samuel 22 |

Dear Jeshuafreak, I hear what you're saying. And if we reeeeeally want to get technical, even spelling God's name "YHWH" is not correct, because those are not Hebrew letters. And He does have so many names: LORD Sabaoth, Father, Creator, Mighty, Sovereign, Merciful. I would run out of words before I would run out of names for my God!! You said--P.S. Jesusfreak was taken when I adopted this name, in case yooue wondered . "Jesus Freak" was one of the first songs my stepson listened to regularly after he was saved. He is exalted, the King is exalted on High!! 2nd Samuel 22 |

Dear fellow believers, Not to be dogmatic, but has anyone noticed lately the flood of new members calling Jesus by the name(s) "Yashua", "Y'shua", "Jeshua", etc. I understand that "Jesus" was His name in Greek, and the others(however you want to spell them) are His Hebrew name. But it is awfully peculiar that we have had at least 3 new members calling Him by one of these names within the last week or two. There is a sect called the "Sacred Name" or "House of Yahweh", who DEMAND that we refer to Him by His Hebrew name. And when I used to(used to, that is) go to Christian chat rooms, they would pop in 2 or 3 at a time. I'm not saying this is happening here, but it is quite a coincidence. Again, I don't mean to ruffle feathers, this is just an observation. He is exalted, the King is exalted on High!! 2nd Samuel 22 |

38 | Why do people try to disprove baptism? | John 3:5 | 2ndSamuel22 | 53411 | ||
Dear NLightNMe, I can appreciate your feelings on this matter, as can many others on this forum. It shows that you truly love God, and want to know and do the truth of God's word. As for the question of why some of us so passionately argue that baptism is not necessary for salvation, I will give you my opinion, for what it's worth..:) Yes, I do believe we should all be baptized. It is a public profession of faith in Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. And it symbolizes the fact that, as our bodies are cleansed by the water, our souls are cleansed by the Holy and Precious Blood of the Lamb. Salvation comes by a changed heart, then once we are saved, the public profession. However, it is not necessary in order to be saved. Yes, when any passage mentions people being saved(Lydia, the Roman jailer, the AEthiopian eunuch), they are then baptized. But, whenever the conditions for salvation are mentioned, they are: repent, believe, confess.(Romans 10:9, Acts 16:29-31). Otherwise(and this is another subject which we have beaten into the ground), Jesus could not have told the thief they would be together in Paradise. Another reason I believe this way is this: If someone accepts Christ as their Lord and Saviour, and crossing the street to be baptized they get hit and killed by a car, are they going to hell? No. When Jesus cried,"It is finished", He meant "It is finished", or from the Greek, "Paid in full." He is exalted, the King is exalted on High!! 2nd Samuel 22 |

Dear Simchat Torah, Let me also welcome you to this forum. I have found that it has helped me grow stronger in the word every time I come here. I do have one more question for you, however. You may have mentioned this elsewhere; if so, please excuse me for making you repeat yourself. My question is this: You constantly refer to Jesus as the "prophet" of God. Does this mean you do not believe Him to be the SON of God? So you know, I do not ask this out of strife, but curiosity. He is exalted, the King is exalted on High!! 2nd Samuel 22 |

40 | Avoiding paritality in soul care | James 2:1 | 2ndSamuel22 | 53238 | ||
Dear mommapbs, At the risk of sounding flip, it appears your minister is more concerned with the 'edifice' of the church, than the 'edification'. I would have to refer your pastor to the Gospel According to John, chapter 3. Nicodemus was a wealthy Pharisee, yet his soul needed tending to(although he did not know it at the time). In fact, he was one of the first people Jesus ministered to, since Nicodemus was not poor in material things, but poor in spirit. That's how I see it, anyway. Do not despair. Take your problem to him directly. And even if he does not minister to your needs, we have a High Priest who has already walked out your solution. God bless!! He is exalted, the King is exalted on High!! 2nd Samuel 22 |
