22 | should you have extra marital affairs? | Rom 13:9 | retxar | 87633 | ||
Are you serious? When a man and women enter into a sexual relationship with each other they enter into a covenant contract with each other that is binding for life and one that God only honors in the confines of marriage. Don’t mess with the things God has ordained! retxar 1Co 7:2 Nevertheless, because of sexual immorality, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband. |

25 | Pastor Preaching in a Mad way!!!!!! | Bible general Archive 1 | retxar | 72387 | ||
Mae, From many of your post, there seems to be a lot of strife between you and the pastor and others in leadership at your church. Why is this? Do you first discuss these matters with those involved as Mat 18:15 would command you to do? Please don't get your feelings hurt by me asking, I just sense a lot of anger and hurt feelings in your post and nothing will ever be resolved with these issues unless you work it out with those involved. in Christ Love retxar |

26 | come out | 1 Cor 1:13 | retxar | 70555 | ||
Thanks! I thought that was the scripture you were referring to. When Elder asked the question of fellowship with others outside the "church", I took outside the "church" to mean outside the "body of Christ" (Jesus only has ONE church!). If Elder did indeed mean the body of Christ when he said "church", disagreement and division will occur at times with those outside the "church", simple because we are commanded to declare the truth of God's WORD. We are salt and light (Mat 5:13-16) living among materialistic and darkness. I think it is important for true Christians to come together in agreement and work from that starting poind, instead of the common thing that happens when those of different denominations meet and the 1st thing that is brought up is "well you believe this way, which is wrong, because me and God believe this way!" The power of agreement is an awesome thing (Mat 18:18-20, Acts 2:1-2) that we too many times chose to not want to be a part of! God bless you! retxar PS I read you profile. Keep up the good work and God bless you for your hunger for His WORD! |

Pentecost was 50 days from Passover (Lev 23:15-16) , which was on a sabbath (Saturday). Since 50 days is 7 weeks plus one day, Pentecost is on a Sunday. retxar |

I stole that line from a guy named Ron David Moore who came out with a song called B.A.D. a few years ago. It was a christian song that had kind of a country sound to it. It talked about these guys who ran around together getting in trouble. They thought they were "bad", but when the meet Jesus they were realy B.A.D.

You said: "My primary motivation is to caution those who answer that "christians are not sinners", to be sure to qualify their claim, lest they cause the unlearned to stumble. I would also exhort all of us to make our boast in the Lord. For without Him we can do nothing!" Thanks John, your points are well founded and well taken. retxar |

I understand what you are saying (that admitting one is a "sinner" is a matter of humility), and the example from scripture you gave is a good one. (One of the FEW other examples in scripture I knew would come up) However, more times than not the plea of "Christians are sinners" is just used as a smoke screen to justify a Christian who wants to live like the world. That old "Christians aren't perfect, only forgiven" excuse that does not bring glory to the grace that forgives, but only glorifies the weakness of the flesh. retxar |

35 | Are christians sinners or not? | Rom 3:23 | retxar | 69409 | ||
Again, my position is not that Christians do not sin, only that the word "sinner" in scripture is a description of someone's lifestyle, not a description of a Christian that commits a sin, so thus, is the wrong word to use to describe a Christian, because sin should not be our lifestyle. retxar |

This is from your previous post: “1 Tim 1:15 It is a trustworthy statement, deserving full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, among whom I am foremost of all.” “Notice he said this in the present tense.” Taken in context, we have to know that Paul is talking of his former self. He was speaking in humbleness and thankfulness that God had delivered him from the life he lived before and was now using him to minister the Gospel (1Ti 1:11-14). Otherwise, Paul would be saying that his current spiritual condition was even worse than the “sinners” he told us about in verse 9, because he said he was the chief. If he was the chief among those sinners he put himself in the same class with in verse 9, it had to before he meet Jesus, not after. In verse 16 it becomes apparent Paul is speaking of his former self when he says that God has already saved the chief of sinners, so there is absolutely no limit to Gods mercy. He also said it was God’s grace that had now made him a worthy example for others to follow. Paul was saying “Hey, if God can do this with the chief of sinners like me, you have to know that He has no limits!” Thanks for sharing your thoughts on 1John3! I like to use illustrations myself (notice my 1st post in this thread). One thing I would add would be that 1John3 also depicts the distinct difference between a Christian and a non-Christian. Please know, I have never took the position that Christians do not sin, only that the word “sinner”, in scripture, depicts someone in which sin describes their lifestyle, not someone who simple commits a sin. Do a word search on the words “sinner” and “sinners” and you will see what I mean! Gal 2:17, I admit, offers some argument against this. This is Paul’s amazing confrontation against Peter, Barnabas, and the other Jewish leaders who were trying to separate themselves from the Gentiles and trying to put some extra requirements of the Law on them. In Gal 2:17-18 Paul said, "But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is Christ therefore a minister of sin? Certainly not! For if I build again those things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor.” Paul spoke this in anticipation that the “certain men of James” (vs12) would present argument to try to say that the everyday sins committed by Christians needed to be justified before God by more than just faith in Jesus. He presented the response ahead of time (kind of like I’m doing now!) in the way he thought the attack would be coming at him, so this does not carry the same connotation scripture usually gives to the word “sinner”, and not really the connotation that we give it today. Good talking with ya! retxar |

Greetings One, This is one of a the few verses I thought I would be discussing when I asked for scripture that referred to Christians as "sinners". I will discuss this with you later, as I am out the door right now. In the mean time, think about what 1John 3 means to you. thanks, retxar |

John, You said “I am not always kind and loving”. Surely you jest! :-) I can't think of anything that we have disagreed on during this exchange except for our difference of opinion on what the word "sinner" means. I guess we should not argue over the meaning of a word, least it create strife (2Ti 2:14). You say we are "sinners" because we still sin, and believe if we say we are not sinners, we imply that we live a sinless life. This may very well be the WORLD’S interpretation, but I can see the WORD saying something totally different, so I guess I will just stick with that. If you know of any verse in the bible that refers to a born again saint as a “sinner”, let me know, as this would add some teeth to your argument. Born again and delivered! retxar |
