21 | What are the things above? | Col 3:3 | nathanbgerman | 235095 | ||
"Things above" refers to things of Heaven. So, rather than having love for things in this world, we should have a love for God. The message puts it this way. "Look up, and be alert to what is going on around Christ—that’s where the action is. See things from his perspective." | ||||||
22 | 1 Timothy 4 vs Romans 8 | 1 Tim 4:1 | nathanbgerman | 234823 | ||
There seems to be a contradiction here between 1 Timothy 4 and Romans 8! Romans 8 begins with no condemnation and ends with no separation. The whole chapter seems to support the theory of once saved always saved. However, 1 Timothy 4:1 says, "The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons." How do these two parts of scripture fit together? | ||||||
23 | Abandon, not never get on | 1 Tim 4:1 | nathanbgerman | 234840 | ||
So the way I understand it, you're saying that the people Paul talks about who "will abandon the faith" are people who never really believed in the first place. I disagree with that for multiple reasons. First, try replacing the word "faith" with another word like "ship". I say "ship" because in the passage in 1 Timothy, Paul uses the word "abandon" and "abandon ship" is a common phrase. Anyway, consider this. In order to abandon a ship, one must first be on the ship. Second, I have a friend who knew somebody who once had a good strong relationship with God and a desire to become a missionary. However, she eventually had a lot of struggles with Christianity and is now a Muslim. How do you explain that? I had a third reason too, but I forgot it. | ||||||
24 | Will God forgive me? | 1 John 3:2 | nathanbgerman | 235025 | ||
Will God forgive me? Normally, I wouldn't feel the need to ask this question because I believe that God is a loving forgiving God. However, this time scares me because my reason for asking comes from the Bible. In Hebrews chapter 6, it says that it is impossible for those who have fallen away to come back to repentance. I read that verse about a week ago and it's really been stuck in my mind creating fear. Yesterday, in my mind, I said that I no longer believed in God. Then, almost immediately after, I was like 'Wait, YES I DO!'. The scary thing is that for those few short seconds, I think I really meant it. I'd like to think that God would forgive this shirt period of unbelief, however, I do believe God's word to be 100 percent true and it says that it is impossible to come back after falling away. Am I understanding this correctly? Also, how does this passage fit with the parable of the lost son where though the son walked away and lived for himself, when he went back, the father welcomed him home with open arms? I am so confused...and scared right now. Up to this point in my life, I have been loving God and even working some in the church, but now I feel like I can no longer worship God like I love to do. | ||||||
