21 | Who or What Dictates Your Behavior? | Deut 6:6 | jeremiah1five | 241754 | ||
Truthfully, I did not expect you to be accountable to the Lord and address your offense, confession of this offense of false accusation, and ultimately repent (not do again). There is something wrong with your spirit that reveals a deeper spiritual problem in you. I actually recognize the spirit (1 Jn. 4:1). |

23 | What Did Judas Do to be called Traitor? | Luke 6:16 | jeremiah1five | 241752 | ||
PART TWO: On the question of Judas Iscariot, a brother in whom most in Christendom as well as the world looks to with great disgust and hatred, I have found to be a man whose name is in the book of life, hand-picked by the Lord after spending all night in prayer with His Father "to be with him" (Mk. 3:14 implying intimacy), that Jesus' statement "better if he'd not been born" somewhat a peculiar statement indeed. If he had not been born he would not be "among the twelve" (as the Holy Spirit says many times in what I see as His attempt to drive home the fact that he was truly elect of God), he would not have covenanted for 30 pieces, would not have led others to arrest Jesus, there would be no midnight trial, no conviction and sentence of death, no beatings and crucifixion of the Lamb of God, no substitutionary death in my stead, no atonement and we would all still be in our sins without hope. Tell me, would it truly have been better? It wasn't the guilt that caused him to commit suicide, as you say, but something else. Jesus said "woe [grief] to that man that would betray Him, and grief is what Judas' actions brought him. But what caused him to commit suicide? It was his obedience to God's Law which required eye for eye and life for life. Did you forget what the Law says about a person under this Covenant that was complicit in the death of an innocent brethren? Yes, it is life for life. Judas SAW the Lord was condemned and this is what led to his repentance to try to buy back the life of Jesus with the same silver that brought His condemnation. If the priests were obedient to the Law themselves they would have accepted Judas' confession of sin and took him out back and stoned him, but what did they say instead? Matthew 27:4 (KJV) "Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood. And they said, What is that to us? see thou to that." In other words, they told him "YOU handle it!" And he did. Other than falling on a sword he chose the rope and hung himself in obedience to the Law of God which required life for life. Scripture in Matthew 27 also says Judas "brought forth fruits worthy of repentance" when he BROUGHT BACK the silver and tried to buy back the life of Jesus. When that didn't work he threw the money on the Temple floor (repentance completed - he rejected the mammon), and went out and committed suicide. Now, isn't confession of one's sins, repentance (180 degree turn), obedience to God's Law all elements of salvation in Christian, or should I say, Biblical doctrine? Indeed it is. It is on these grounds and others upon which I base my faith that Judas Iscariot was elect of God and saved, and will be among the great cloud of witnesses that will return with the Lord to reclaim a perfectly restored, changed, and resurrected body. |

24 | What Did Judas Do to be called Traitor? | Luke 6:16 | jeremiah1five | 241751 | ||
PART ONE: You need to stop making guesses about my feelings that aren't true and making them public especially when you imply that I am unhappy with Lockman who is my host. THAT is where you have offended me and caused others to attack me based upon your lie. You brought undue attention upon me that was negative in nature. Jesus commanded us in what is called the Golden Rule of eye for eye to do to others as we want them to do to us. Shall I do to you what you have done to me? I would be perfectly in compliance with Christ's command and instruction. Would you appreciate that based upon your comments and replies that I think you are homosexual and make a supposition public on a forum such as this forum? Such a comment would bring undue attention to you, wouldn't it? You should be more careful with your mouth, that is, your keyboard for it reveals the content of your "heart." And if the content of your "heart" is to make comments that wrongly imply such and such about a Christian and member here, then that reveals the "heart" of a false accuser. The KJV word is "devil." Now, Jesus also gave command that if the one that offends me does not repent (not do it again) that I would be completely in compliance with the Lord's command and not forgive, and if not forgive, then there is no fellowship, for if you have a tendency to making false accusations and implications about a Christian and member then the Lord also instructs me to break interaction and fellowship until the offender brings their behavior into compliance with the Word (not forum guidelines for as a whole many "Christian" sites I have been at have guidelines that supersede and directly contradict God's Word in the behavior of God's people in private lives and in public.) Scripture does not teach us to give "blanket apologies." An offender must know exactly in what way they have offended so as to repent and not make the same offense again and quench the Holy Spirit's ministry of tempering the body together. So, now you know in what way you offended me and caused others to make further suppositions about my presence and character that were untrue. Surely a little leaven leavens the whole loaf. I came here and treated others good. I wanted to be treated good in return. My doctrinal positions are not denominational for I have no denomination. I prefer to be called a Biblical Christian for all my understanding iof the Bible comes from the Old and New Testament, the Holy Spirit, and myself. I would spend 16 hours a day (with sometimes lunch break if I wasn't fasting) at a table with my Bible and a Strong's and read under the anointing and many times hot tears roll down my cheeks as the Holy Spirit would use the very Word of God to cleanse and sanctify me, and this continued as I said 16 hours a day for roughly 9 months while I was being Biblically disciple. I stopped with commentaries many, many years ago because they would short-circuit my thinking and reasoning. I KNOW what I believe at many places does not square with traditional mainstream Christian thought, but when I come to such crossroads I prefer to trust what God may be speaking to me in that moment rather than parrot what others say the Scriptures say. Wasn't this the method of Martin Luther, and others in our historical Christian past? And I have been persecuted for my understanding of Scripture but I don't care. I am what I am, and I know what I know. Just because one fails to understand what I may say does not make me wrong or in error, especially since it is God who opens the mind or closes the mind, He either brings illumination or He allows people to stumble along in darkness. I plant and water, the Holy Spirit brings the increase. I know my call and the gifts, talents, and pounds the Lord has given me in my life. Yes, the Lord has spoken directly into me. But He has not done that with everyone, which is why I disagree with the so-called "great commission" due to the fact and truth of the teaching that we all have different and various callings with various gifts, etc., to accomplish that call to the Lord. If the apostle is represented as the thumb in the hand of the Lord it is very disturbing that the church leaders today teach that we are all thumbs and must preach about Jesus everywhere and every time because church leaders teach we have to follow this "great commission" dispite the fact of the teaching on the Body of Christ that the eye or the foot or the elbow must make every attempt at mimicking the function of the thumb. That is quite the heresy to teach that to every neophyte that the Lord baptizes into His Body, don't you think? We are not all mouths in the body of Christ. | ||||||

26 | Choosing Christ? | John 3:19 | jeremiah1five | 241743 | ||
This is the wrong thread. Go back to where you said I had "[ill, not happy] feelings about Lockman." I took offense at that because you poisoned the relationships here I was trying to build in obedience to the Lord. That also caused another to speak wrongly about me, and still yet another. Your "mouth" started a fire where there was none. And I have suffered for it. |

27 | What Did Judas Do to be called Traitor? | Luke 6:16 | jeremiah1five | 241734 | ||
I asked this question elsewhere and one person took me to a Scripture that seems to explain what Judas did that earned him the title/name of traitor. Thanks. | ||||||
28 | What Did Judas Do to be called Traitor? | Luke 6:16 | jeremiah1five | 241732 | ||
Yes, but what did he do? You post Scripture that says he betray Him but what did he do specifically? |
||||||
29 | What Did Judas Do to be called Traitor? | Luke 6:16 | jeremiah1five | 241730 | ||
Using the above Scripture, I have asked Christians if they know what it was that Judas did that earned him the title of "traitor" and no one has been able to answer this question. It seems Christians call Judas a traitor or betrayer because they read it elsewhere in a commentary or someone else says it and they parrot those same words that Judas "betrayed the Lord," but when asked if they can identify the act or acts that earned him the name of traitor no one knows. | ||||||
30 | Does God cause people to get arrested ? | Matt 24:9 | jeremiah1five | 241722 | ||
I see God as ordaining everything that comes to pass. He knows the end from the beginning because He ordained the end. | ||||||
31 | Obedience in Love? | Lev 19:18 | jeremiah1five | 241721 | ||
I did not say we are to treat them with hate, only that we should be obedient and not treat them with love. God's love is Holy. The command is to not give that which is holy to dogs (non-Covenant.) The command is for brethren to love brethren. God doesn't give His Holy Love to non-Covenant. Not even God casts His Pearl, Jesus Christ, to swine. Neither should we. God hates the unatoned sinner. It is this people that Christ comes to destroy. And He is successful, too. Thank God. If you want to continue to love that which God hates that's on you. But for thousands of years God did not send the high priest to the heathens to pray and offer sacrifices for them. Think of the millions that God did not save nor atone and then tell me God loves all people the same. There have always been two groups of people in the world: Covenant and non-Covenant. |

32 | When will the Antichrist come ? | 1 John 2:18 | jeremiah1five | 241720 | ||
How do you come to that conclusion when Scripture says that to deny Christ is antichrist? 1 John 2:22-26 (KJV) 22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. 23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also. 24 Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father. 25 And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life. 26 These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you. If you want to apply this word to all cessationists then I have no problem with that. I prefer to believe the Scripture on this point and if millions of antichrists are out there, then the spirit of antichrist is thick in the world. They may have a love for God, but they are seduced and deceived to have a love for God and deny Christ. Contradictory, don't you think? Let them label me an antichrist. They have to bring their accusation to in accordance to Matthew 18:15. But just because they do not understand does not make me wrong. Israel had the same problem with prophets that God sent to them. The Church is no different. They murder the prophets God sends to them, too. |
||||||
33 | When will the Antichrist come ? | 1 John 2:18 | jeremiah1five | 241714 | ||
Matthew 24:24 (KJV) 24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. These false Christ's are not people that say they are Christ, but preach and say Jesus is the Christ. And through holding to your view of MacArthur who preaches the same message as Paul (death, resurrection, etc.), will do so and also deny the Life of Christ in His people (the Church) as MacArthur does and deceive many. I am not deceived. |

34 | Does God cause people to get arrested ? | Matt 24:9 | jeremiah1five | 241713 | ||
No, it does mean including miscarriages of justice. Jesus is a perfect example. If God created the world and the people in it and it is "tainted" (actually, immersed is a better word) in sin, then God willed all that proceeds from that act, miscarriages and all. You cannot believe in a Sovereign God and the make excuses for things that occur that do not fit your understanding of God's righteousness and will. God is not looking the other way when one is falsely accused, arrested, prosecuted and convicted, especially if it is one of His own kids. He is directly and intimately involved. He even willed and orchestrated a thief receiving capital punishment on a cross. When is the last time that in the United States we execute a thief? But if God had not orchestrated these lives according to His will the thief on the cross would not hand with Jesus and not been promised paradise. |

35 | Obedience in Love? | Lev 19:18 | jeremiah1five | 241712 | ||
There are many things the Word does not say implicitly that are and have become doctrine for the Church. An example is the Doctrine of the Trinity. It doesn't say in Scripture God is a Trinity but it does imply it through the comparison of Scripture and reason (Isa. 1:18). If God hates His enemies (the world - which means non-Covenant individuals) will you commit treason to your King and love that which God hates? 1 John 2:15 is a perfect example. God doesn't love the non-Covenant world, those to whom in His perfect wisdom and knowledge did not choose from the foundation of the world, and He directly commands His people to not love the world (non-Covenant people) as He commanded Israel to not mingle with the nations (goyim) nor to learn THEIR WAYS. A true believer does not contradict God nor oppose Him in any of His revealed Word. I suppose you also believe God loves everyone the same as He does His Church? If you say yes, God does loves everyone, Covenant and non-Covenant alike, then the question now is who are these people Christ is destroying at His second coming when He comes in God's wrath and righteousness and warring against the wicked? Is He destroying those He loves? That is NOT the love of God as Scripture declares it. God hates both sin and sinner if that sinner is not Elect of God and whose name is not in the book of life of the lamb slain from (BEFORE) the foundation (creation) of the world. Consider not loving that which God hates, nor hating that which God loves. To do so is to oppose God. |

36 | When will the Antichrist come ? | 1 John 2:18 | jeremiah1five | 241705 | ||
John MacArthur as antichrist because he denies the Life of Christ in His people/Church. He denies the apostle and prophet (Eph. 4:11-12) and these are the Ministries of Christ in His people. | ||||||
37 | I'm curious. Why am I being muzzled? | Deut 6:6 | jeremiah1five | 241704 | ||
To restrict a thread as you have done is to restrict the Holy Spirit in that person. This, too, is a characteristic of antichrist and antichristian behavior. There are no secrets in the body of Christ, no shadows, no hidden corners. Everything is to be in the light that others may judge (1 Cor. 11:18-19). You need to repent of this and stop muzzling the Holy Spirit. | ||||||
38 | Does God cause people to get arrested ? | Matt 24:9 | jeremiah1five | 241703 | ||
Are there no innocent people in jail or prison? Are you of the "heart" that believes anyone arrested and accused of a crime, even if convicted of a crime and in prison, that if they are in prison they must be guilty? | ||||||
39 | Obedience in Love? | Lev 19:18 | jeremiah1five | 241702 | ||
So, you are saying that Christ changed the Law in Leviticus 19:18 to include the unsaved. We are to love those not in Covenant with God? That is to contradict the original command of God and to teach Jesus changed the Law. | ||||||
