21 | Rejection means never knew? | Eph 4:3 | ChildofGod1988 | 206099 | ||
2 Pet 2:18 For speaking out arrogant words of vanity they entice by fleshly desires, by sensuality, those who barely escape from the ones who live in error, 2 Pet 2:19 promising them freedom while they themselves are slaves of corruption; for by what a man is overcome, by this he is enslaved. 2 Pet 2:20 For if, after they have escaped the defilements of the world by the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and are overcome, the last state has become worse for them than the first. 2 Pet 2:21 For it would be better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than having known it, to turn away from the holy commandment handed on to them. I reread the verse and it still seems to me that the author is referring to those purveyors of false doctrine, as well as believers in these doctrines who have left the true One. I also looked up the definition of the word know 1:be aware of the truth of something; have a belief or faith in something; regard as true beyond any doubt 2:be familiar or acquainted with a person or an object When the bible says that they had "known the way of righteousness," it means they had an intimate knowledge of it. At least that is what I think. I am still very interested in your response sir, and please know that I take your opinion very seriously. Thanks for your time, God bless!!! CoG88 (andy) |

22 | Rejection means never knew? | Eph 4:3 | ChildofGod1988 | 206093 | ||
How does that square with 2 Peter 2:18-22?? This is an interesting passage. It CLEARLY intimates, that these false teachers knew the way (Know means that they personally knew, intimately). If it can happen to a false teacher, it can happen to anyone who chooses what they did... to return to their old ways. Your right in one area, I disagree in another. I agree that one must choose to reject the gift they have been given/are offered. But I disagree that "Those who reject their salvation were never born again to begin with."For one simple reason. Only God truly knows the heart, to say you do is wrong and untrue. Now that I have said my piece, I would like to know what you think. I have discussed this before with a friend who is a Calvinist. Thanks so much for your time sir, God bless!! |

Thanks very much John. And I do as well. In Christ (and Montana), Andy |

24 | God's Regard for Cain's Offering? | Gen 4:5 | ChildofGod1988 | 206020 | ||
I hear what you are saying. But again I feel that I need to point out that Abel made a sacrifice with the VERY best he had. Kain did not. When was that requirement given to man by the way?? I have another question. If a little lamb could have saved us, then why the need for Christ? It works both ways brother. We needed Christ because we need Christ. Not because a little lamb or an ear of corn would have sufficed. Thanks so much for your time, please let me know what you think about this. Agree? Disagree? God bless you for your time!! Brother in Christ, Andy |

25 | God's Regard for Cain's Offering? | Gen 4:5 | ChildofGod1988 | 206000 | ||
Hello Stoneslinger, Read my note attached to to AMO14's, I listed two verses. I don't think that God rejected Kains gifts because there was no blood. God had made Abel a shepherd, and Kain a farmer. If you read the story in Genisis, the author goes through great lengths to tell about the care with which Abel chose his sacrifice. He did not do so with Kain. Which seems to intimate that Kain did not show much (if any) care in his selection of sacrifice. I agree that it was an issue of heart and not of meat vs. veggies. Abel gave his best, Kain did not. |

26 | God's Regard for Cain's Offering? | Gen 4:5 | ChildofGod1988 | 205998 | ||
Dear Tamara, I believe that I have an answer. I read your question, and I remembered that during my studies, I had come across something that stood out. It stood out so much, in fact, that I wrote some notes on a "stickynote" and put it on the page. I would like to direct you to Psalms 51: 15-17. Then to 54:6. In 51: 15-17, the psalmist tells us what God truly desires from us, his children. 54:6 I have chosen to add because, I believe, the psalmist is giving us an example of what state of mind we should be in when giving sacrifice to God. I hope that this is a helpful answer. God bless, Andy(COG88) |

Dear Forum, I was very surprised to see the kind of response (volume and intensity)that my original post generated. For those on both sides of the issues presented, I would like to extend my sincerest thanks. I appreciate the "workout" that I get from the members of this forum. God bless you all for the hard work put into your responses. |

28 | Does 'foreknew' mean 'foreordained? | Romans | ChildofGod1988 | 205102 | ||
Think about this. Does God knowing what choices we will make mean that He makes us make those choices? Not at all, His foreknowledge does not make us any less responsible for our choices. | ||||||
29 | An interesting discussion/question | Romans | ChildofGod1988 | 205101 | ||
How ever, God said that he sent his son Jesus for the WORLD.(john 3:16) He also says it is his will that all should come to him.( John 6:35-40) It sounds to me like God wants no one to spend eternity away from Him. When someone askes me "If the Gospel alone saves, then what about the heathen in Africa who never heard?," I respond first with, God is merciful, and He has a plan for them. And next with, What does it matter? You have heard the Gospel and now are presented with a choice... What will/have you choose/chosen?. God bless you , CoG1988 |

30 | An interesting discussion/question | Romans | ChildofGod1988 | 204955 | ||
Dear Tamara, Thanks for the response. You actually brought up most of the points that my friend raised during our discussion. And my "rebuttal" for lack of a better word, was this. John 3:16. God loved THE WORLD, and sent his son, so that all MIGHT(not WOULD grant you) be saved. In your 3rd to last paragraph, I was interested that you gave a specific, and divided, interpretation of mercy and justice. In God these things are intertwined. They are not separate. You are quite right when you say that God is just, in that he requires payment for sins. But He is merciful because He provided Christ as atonement for our sins. Everyone who hears the gospel must CHOOSE to accept Christs sacrifice. I believe that God knows every choice we will make. However, If he made this choice for us, would not the point of Christs death be made moot??? And so there for would we be responsible for our choice? According to the example of justice we have in the bible(which is Gods example to us), It would be unjust to punish someone for a crime you made them commit. And if God truly destined some to be saved, and the rest to die. Isn't He making the choice for the ones he doesn't save? I would like to direct you to John 6. Specifically verse 40. Gods will is that ALL be saved through faith in Jesus. How can that be His will if He then turns around and destines some to heaven, and the rest to hell. It makes his statement in John 6:40 a lie. Doesn't it?? My friend then pointed out that "Man doesn't make the choice, someone is only saved because God reaches out to him." God destines those to be saved. I asked him, what then does Jesus mean in verses 43-51? It seems to me, that even though God first reaches out to someone, they still have a choice to make. Believe in what has been revealed to you, or don't believe. I appreciate the time you took in your post. However I disagree that God destines one to hell and not the other. For that is the core of calvanism/ predestination. It sounds harsh, but that is what it boils down to. God bless you all and have a good day |

Dear fellow studiers of the word, I have recently discussed with someone, the merits and demerits, of predestination. During the discussion, he asked me a question about those who have never heard the Gospel. I remember that during my personal study, I read about Gods will and plan for those people (who i suppose could also include young children and those unborn). Could anyone please help me locate this passage? I want to thank all of you who are so willing to offer help, advice, knowledge, and directions when asked. God bless you all. |

33 | I am horrible at locating verses, HELP | Not Specified | ChildofGod1988 | 204128 | ||
Hello all, I looked through the archives and was unable to find any good verse listings regarding the trinity, its nature, and such. I know that there are several instances in the bible where God speaks, for lack of a better way to put it, with Himself. The very triune nature of our Father amazes, and confuses me honestly. I would like some help with locating verses dealing with this. I cant thank you enough for your time. This forum has been an incredible blessing and bible study aid. God bless you all. Andrew |

35 | Sorry about the lack of clarity, but... | Is 7:16 | ChildofGod1988 | 204126 | ||
Dear Doc if it indeed begins at birth, how is it that a baby who is killed at, before, or near birth, justified? I am not sure that the verses you sited were of much help. As they, for the majority, simply stated that we are sinners conceived in sin. If you have any biblical verses that answer the above question I would appreciate it. I believe that God is the God who saves, I simply am looking for the biblical discourses on this as I am having trouble locating them ;) I realize that I was not clear in what I was asking, thanks for your patience. Oh and if you could possibly include verses dealing with Gods plan for those that have not had the opportunity to hear the Gospel, and how they are judged I would GREATLY appreciate it :) Thank you so much, God bless you all. Andrew |

38 | Meaning of day in the bible | Not Specified | ChildofGod1988 | 202579 | ||
Hello fellow forum members. May God bless you this day. Now for my question. Is the word(in hebrew) used in Genisis for day, as in "on the second day," the same as the word used in the story of Joshua and Jerico? I feel that God did indeed create the universe in a literal 7 days. However to me, whether or not this, in particular, is literal is not critically important. If it would be possible, can you please provide different hebrew words for day and the meaning?? I would greatly appreciate it. I am anxious to hear back on this issue. God bless. | ||||||
