21 | Should I resign from the Forum? | Bible general Archive 1 | ava4 | 65851 | ||
Hi Johnny, It truly wasn't my intention to 'strike' at rabbi mark as the accuser rather, my purpose was to encourage mommapbs to stand fast in the Lord in the face of accusation. As I mention, even if the accusation proves to be true it is merely an opportunity for more fellowship. Johnny, I appreciate your note and your concern. We all need to pray that the Holy Spirit will moderate our accusations and grant us the same love and mercy we have recieved toward one another. It's too easy for us to render judgements without knowing the heart of the one we are accusing. I appreciate your note. May God grant us all mercy and love toward one another. Dennis |

You're very welcome. Never run just because you have been accused of error. The enemy would use the occasion of error to crush us with condemnation if given the chance. I believe that error becomes an opportunity for greater fellowship and growth in Christ. Take courage in Christ. May God bless you. denny |

23 | Why church? | Heb 10:25 | ava4 | 65827 | ||
Hi EdB, I had never been made aware of the 3 dot issue but, now that I know about it I wiil not repeat it. I can see how that would raise red flags. I didn't take your comment as a malicious attack rather, I was truly puzzled by your reaction. As I thought my profile would make abundantly clear, I am all about church having lived too long without it. You do not know how much I appreciate you taking time to respond both then and now. I only suggested that our exchange go to e-mail to avoid adding any strife into the public forum. Again, thank you for responding my friend. Your's in Christ, dennis |

26 | Should I resign from the Forum? | Bible general Archive 1 | ava4 | 65764 | ||
Why resign the forum? How will any of us ever know what we really believe unless we expose our thoughts for review. The forum shouldn't be a place to pass judgement rather, a place to have our beliefs challanged and a place learn in the family of believers.. It would lose it's value completely if it were to become merely a vehicle to dispense a specific denominational doctrine. I say, continue posting on the forum. yours in Christ,..denny |

28 | Why church? | Heb 10:25 | ava4 | 65726 | ||
Hi Hank,..since I had not received an e-mail from either EdB or you I decided to reply to your postings on the forum. Since my reply would be the same to both of you please see my most recent posting to Ed. If you would like to contact me via my e-mail for further clarification I would be glad to hear from you. My e-mail is contained in my profile. Thanks. Yours, in Christ...dennis |

29 | Why church? | Heb 10:25 | ava4 | 65725 | ||
Hi EdB,..did you read my post in it's entirety? It should be apparent to any who read it that my tone is compatable with that of the author of the verse in question. Which part of my post didn't warn, or urge the person to re-think their position and, instead, to seek church? Although I included some anecdotal material it was included as a rather sad first person experience of what happens when we choose against going to church. I'm not certain that I understand what point on what point, or points, in my post that you are basing your objection upon. In light of the total of what I wrote my purpose should be clear and obvious to all. Ed, I am willing to be corrected if it can be shown to me that my intention was anything other than to support the words and spirit of the writer of Hebrew's 10:25. Please read my posting in it's entirety. Yours in Christ...dennis |

32 | Why church? | Heb 10:25 | ava4 | 65707 | ||
I have to agree that church is not manditory... as salvation certainly isn't dependent upon church attendance. Having said that, let me say, also, that choosing to avoid church is a little like choosing to avoid food. In both cases we will suffer lack of growth, begin to waste away and eventually die. It's all a little bit silly to believe we can reject either..don't you think? Over 20 years ago I found myself in a cult-like church and felt that God had abandoned me and had allowed me to be deceived. I took it personally and I determined that I did not need, nor want any part of church...ever again. My decision resulted in a futile exercise of 'running in place' and the longer I ran on my own the weaker I became. At the end of 20 years without fellowship my Christian walk had so deteriorated as to be indistinguishable from a that of a non-believer. To consciously avoid church and the fellowship it provides is to avoid the most basic command of our Lord Jesus Christ... John 13: 34 and 35 "A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another." When we decide against participating in the fellowship of Christ in context with His church we, in effect, are deciding against the Lord's commandment to love one another. When we are out of church we are out of context with Christ. The Bible would have us understand that the church is the body Christ..the community of believers in Christ...it is meant to be the believers new family provided by God in Christ. It is within this family of believers that our walk is given credibility and that we are held accountable and, even, more importantly, we are fed and we grow.. Without fellowship with our brother's and sister's in Christ it is difficult to be any more than a nominal believer, at best, and growth is next to nonexistant. My recommendation to anyone who may be deciding against church...rethink your position. I would suggest to you that, just as you cannot avoid food without disasterous consequences to the health of your physical being.. neither can you avoid the spiritual food provided in the fellowship you will find in church without reaping disasterous and dibilitating effects on your spiritual life and being. Love, in Christ,....dennis |

33 | Did God Create Man Mortal? | Gen 1:26 | ava4 | 65472 | ||
Hi Ed,...no, I had failed to notice the date. I will pay closer attention to that in the future. I am a recent participant/contributor to the forum and am still feeling my way around the site. I do thank you for your reply and for bringing this to my attention. Thanks, and God bless your day....dennis | ||||||
34 | In Gen 1, who is us referring to? | Gen 1:26 | ava4 | 65466 | ||
I think it's interesting to note that, according to the Genesis account of creation, God seems to act unilaterally in speaking everything into existence..until it was time to create man. In creating man He spoke in the plural signifying that the whole Godhead was involved in creating man..God's intended crowning glory of all of His creation. To me this provides a strong, yet, simple understanding of the 'why' of God's desire and purpose throughout history to regain man and why He provided such great sacrifice to redeem us. May God bless our days....dennis |

This is, perhaps, the best and most meaningful threads I have followed since I began participating in this forum. I have pondered the subject of man's creation, mortality...the tree of life for years. Needless to say you all have gained my attention. May God bless you all.....dennis |

36 | Only church | James 1:27 | ava4 | 65436 | ||
I don't believe it can be substantiated except by their own doctrine or interpretation of Scripture. I once belonged to a church that taught the same thing....God brought me out of it...dennis | ||||||

39 | Do you have a Prodigal in your family? | John 13:35 | ava4 | 65342 | ||
Hi again justme, Sadly for my family I was the Prodigal. They could have used the book you mention. I know my mother shed many tears over my mis- conduct. She is gone now and it has become my turn to shed tears for the pain I caused her to suffer. My wife and I also had a Prodigal who ultimately brought us soul shattering pain by commiting suicide nearly four years ago. It was only by God's grace and great undying love for my wife and I that we are able to share. If Ruth Graham' book is all that you say it is I join with you in recommending it to anyone with children. You may not have need of it in your own family but, it might help you understand the pain your neighbor is experiencing and open your heart in support of their trial. It's so important to reach beyond our own walls. I'm going to buy the book for even more understanding. Thanks for the recommendation justme....Dennis |
