21 | Explain Trinity Father Son, Holy Ghost | Is 1:1 | halroy | 199639 | ||
thanks doc, I did read your post #196995, and found it both interesting and informative. While scripture does not clearly teach a trichotomy, neither does it clearly disallow it. However, I hold no strong opinion either way except to say that man is either dichotomal, or trichotomal, in nature. Scripture clearly teaches that man is made in the image of God. The Kodak print of myself is a two-dimensional image representing a three-dimensional one; I don't demand that man's soul and spirit are two seperate modes. I merely think that looking inside myself, I can understand something about persons...since I are one. If the creation declares the handiwork of God, and (Rom 1:20) "his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse..." then I certainly think that the one creature we are taught was made in His image, ourselves, has something to reveal to us about the nature of God. With all respects to whoever responded about the egg...scripture does not say that God created the egg in His image. There is no scriptural basis for any egg analogy; there is however, definitely a scriptural basis for such an analogy in the case of Man. So...how many angels do you think CAN dance on the head of a pin? |

Dear LJ777, I'm so sorry. My answer of 490 was never meant seriously, and I thought that it would be obvious that I was only attempting some humor, which was the wrong type of response. I apologize to all for not keeping within the spirit and function of this site. I don't believe there is a certain number-limit for forgiveness for any sin (since what we tend to refer to as 'back-sliding' generally consists of such sins as forsaking the assembly, and not studying God's word, I believe we can include back-sliding as a sin). Rom 14:4 Who are you to pass judgment on the servant of another? It is before his own master that he stands or falls. And he will be upheld, for the Lord is able to make him stand. God will work in the lives of the elect to "make him stand." may you always stand, may I always rise again after stumbling, halroy |

29 | choosing a church? | John 15:5 | halroy | 199593 | ||
Sharing our faith with unbelivers is hard; sharing it with one another seems even harder at times; what is the best way to choose which churches to visit in order to find a 'church home?' | ||||||
30 | Tithing, Giving, Itemizing | Rom 13:1 | halroy | 199817 | ||
Peace Cheri, I believe that this is a matter of conscience. After you consider it, and make a decision, then if you have no doubts about it, you made the correct decision for you. Just my two cents. halroy |

31 | sharing our faith to unbelievers so hard | 1 Cor 1:18 | halroy | 199647 | ||
Greetings Gunnie, I am new to this site; when I ran across your note, it made me wonder what had happened to Jesusman, and prompted me to figure out some of the 'mechanics' of the site, and so I read the entire thread. Such things as 'blogs' 'postings' or 'threads' and so forth are new to me. In fact, I think that I perhaps answered a question someone had posted back in 1943, or so, until I began to notice the dates and the formats of the order in which things appear on the screen. I find it ironic that under the heading of 'hard to share faith with unbelievers,' we have a good example of how it can also be hard to share our faith with believers. Devisiveness in the body of Christ is one of the more valid criticisms we face from non-believers. Having read the thread, it seems to fall under a tempest-in-a-teapot sort of category, with a bit of snittiness from more than one person. To compare this with Jesus' persecution seems more than a bit polemical; I notice some apologies were posted, and I certainly hope all involved will remember the art of forgiveness. Eph 4:32 Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you. Col 3:12 Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, Col 3:13 bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. I certainly don't wish to appear to be approaching you with any holier-than-thou attitude; I am entirely capable of much worse behavior than I saw in any of these postings. If I have offended you, or anyone else, then please forgive me. your brother, halroy |

32 | How do I obtain what I'm asking for? | 2 Tim 2:15 | halroy | 199940 | ||
Dear David, You will get the very thing you pray for when you pray with faith, and when you pray for that which is congruent with the will of God. It is generally best not to use an egg-timer to measure the Lord's response times; often a calendar will work better. bless you, halroy |

revision: "a calendar" should probably read "several calendars" in my reply | ||||||
34 | Blind leap of faith | Heb 11:1 | halroy | 199907 | ||
hray9, Not a good idea to become a Christian because it involves a blind leap of faith? That is not true at all. The real truth is just the opposite: that it is an excellent idea to become a Christian because it involves a sighted leap of faith. It is a matter of consulting the witnesses who were there, and determining whether you think they are telling the truth. Now you can read what those witnesses have to say in the Bible. I strongly urge the person who believes in your "blind leap of faith" theory to consult the evidence and make up his own mind. Consider the following witnesses: He was despised and rejected by men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief; and as one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted. (Isaiah 53:3-4) But he was wounded for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned--every one--to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all. (Isaiah 53:5-6) My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from saving me, from the words of my groaning? But I am a worm and not a man, scorned by mankind and despised by the people. All who see me mock me; they make mouths at me; they wag their heads; "He trusts in the LORD; let him deliver him; let him rescue him, for he delights in him!" (Psalms 22:6-8) It seems pretty clear that these scriptures quoted refer to Jesus, and they were all written hundreds of years before He was born. These are written by those who foresaw. In the New Testament can be found the witnesses who saw. Let the sincere questioner consult with the witnesses himself, and make up his own mind. Consider the testimony of witnesses who saw, and foresaw. He may decide that it is those who lack faith who are blind, and that no leap at all is required - just a step. sincerely, halroy |
