221 | What are ways to stay free from strife? | 2 Tim 2:15 | Country Girl | 133111 | ||
I would say reading and re-reading all scriptures that encourage the art of peace making would be a good start. One of them is from Paul in Eph 2:14 For He Himself is our peace, who made both groups into one and broke down the barrier of the dividing wall, Eph 2:15 by abolishing in His flesh the enmity, which is the Law of commandments contained in ordinances, so that in Himself He might make the two into one new man, thus establishing peace, Eph 2:16 and might reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross, by it having put to death the enmity. Eph 2:17 AND HE CAME AND PREACHED PEACE TO YOU WHO WERE FAR AWAY, AND PEACE TO THOSE WHO WERE NEAR; Eph 2:18 for through Him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father. Eph 2:19 So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints, and are of God's household, The most important aspect of this is to realize that there's always going to be a similar wall separating us from God as long as we have on-going sins in our lives with no indications of repentance on our part. AND it's only by the Grace and Forgiving Love from God that any of us have a chance of going to Heaven. If you know of some topic of controversy or strife between you and another, I can only suggest going to him and tell him honestly you'd like to remove that wall/barrier by starting off by reading this passage and then pray together to God, the Father of both of you. Two people who pray together should find it a little easier to forgive each other and "gain a brother," and thus gain a closer relationship with God. I hope this helps and Blessings to you.

There is of course another side to this argument. As Hank mentioned, it's been fairly well covered in the past on the Forum. I'd like to agree with most of what Hank has said here for indeed, none of us are going to deceive God with a false face of christianity if it's NOT motivated by real and genuine love underneath. I'd like to remind you and everyone else that we've all experienced in our lives putting our faith of some measure into a valued friend who we thought was a good person, maybe even a good faithful christian and this relationship lasted for a long time. I also know that most of us have experienced, at least at one point in our lives, extreme disappointment in seeing one of our dear friends come to a low point in their lives, curse their previous relationships with us or with God and suddenly act like they never knew God. Remember Paul's words from Gal 6:1 Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness, considering yourself lest you also be tempted. 2Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. and Jesus words from Matt 18:15 "Moreover if your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone. If he hears you, you have gained your brother. 16But if he will not hear, take with you one or two more, that "by the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.' 17And if he refuses to hear them, tell it to the church. But if he refuses even to hear the church, let him be to you like a heathen and a tax collector. Now my question to you: If there's no chance of this kind of thing happening to a christian as Hank is depicting, why would God spend so much time in His Word on this subject? Blessings to you.

Quoted from Hank's post: And unfortunately the doctrine of the eternal security of the believer (perseverance of the saints) is misunderstood by a number of sincere and well-meaning Christians (and non-believers too), who take it to mean no less than having a license to continue to live a life of sin and get away with it. Hank's Post was a bit much to swallow because of its size and no chunking into paragraphs but I think the quote above is that to which I was referring. HOWEVER, just to be clear, what I'm really saying is: IF the OSAS concept is actually taught and endorsed by the Bible, then why does God spend so much time in that same Bible about christians repenting after becoming a christin? You do realize of course that the whole NT was written to christians about christians but was also written for the benefit of those who might want to become a christians, right? For example, even the Gospels were written after Jesus death and resurrection so that when Jesus said "I will build my church," the church had not been built at the time of his speaking so the Apostles were writing from a historical viewpoint. Anyway, I hope this is clear and blessings to you. Country Girl |

224 | once saved always saved? | 2 Tim 4:18 | Country Girl | 129074 | ||
I would emphasize John's picture from 1 John depicting christians staying in the fellowship of light from God. You might notice that it's paramount to maintain a proper relationship with all of God's children (fellow christians) in order to keep a good, intact relationship with God. This is very clear from John's writing. The most important point from 1 John applicable to this thread is that of staying within the fellowship of God, represented by light. We could compare this to a common credit account with one of our many creditors throughout America. As long as we maintain a good history record of making regular payments, our credit is good and we're able to enjoy the benefits, including the purchasing power and maybe even a slight bit of prestige when the credit limit is high or the history record is good and long enough. Now in comparison, God bought us back from the devil as our souls were forfeited with all our sins to a hopeless eternal Hell with Satan's angels. He bought us with the most expensive commodity immaginable, His very own son's blood. So now we're in debt to Him, a debt we could NEVER even hope to pay back. So we're obligated to Him to obey Him and comply with all His commands and examples as cited His Holy Word. Now of course, our God is absolutely Perfect and cannot allow sin in His presence including our hopelessly sinful beings...unless we're covered by His Son's blood, thus our need for salvation in accordance with His Son's Last Will and Testament. Now being saved doesn't do away with the sin in our lives so in that respect we're still no different from the most vile sinner on earth. The big, most important difference between these two different groups of sinners is whether or not they're saved, having the blood of Jesus to cover their sins. With that relationship intact with both our God and our fellow christians, then we can look forward to the benefits of coverage by our God even when we're "caught off guard" and die suddenly. As long as we've establish a regular habit of repenting regularly of the sins of commission and omission, we're good to go. That's what the Grace of God is really all about. As long as God knows in our hearts, He's King of our lives and His Grace is continuously active in our lives. Other benefits includes the Holy Spirit's assitance in avoiding the sins in our lives, especially as we mature in Spirit with God and learn to spend more and more of our time with our fellow christians. So in a sense, yes God forgives us over and over again because we are primarily human and are very vulnerable to the temptations of Satan. So we should see ourselves in need of our Lord's assistance in this area. We must never think of this process as earning our way to Heaven. Now, there are certain responsibilities (as you mentioned) like bearing one another's burdens, restoring our brethren. Again, these actions should be looked at as weak feeble attempts to pay our Lord for the debt we owe him. I hope this clarifys a little. Country Girl |

Hank, please do me a favor and check out my recent post to Karen, number 129074 and see if that helps answer some of your questions. Thanks I've got some homework to get caught up on.

226 | baptism regenerate? | Titus 3:5 | Country Girl | 132280 | ||
Since there's only two scriptures where this word is used, there's not a whole lot of guidance as to what exactly is meant by its use. Matt 19:28 And Jesus said to them, "Truly I say to you, that you who have followed Me, in the regeneration when the Son of Man will sit on His glorious throne, you also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. Titus 3:5 He saved us, not on the basis of deeds which we have done in righteousness, but according to His mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit, Since, it's clear that we have to "use the Bible as Its best own Commentary," I see nothing wrong with the use of "transforming" as cited in Romans or "refining" as cited in Revelation. It does seem pretty clear from all the Bible that God does want us, His creation to come back to Him in Heaven but sin and our human, fleshly bodies prevent us from being able to do that. Now since, the devil is a spirit and believes in God, it's also clear we must do more than simply attain a spiritual status and believe in God ourselves. So once again, I say it's God's influence in our lives as His children that saves us when we actually act on our faith in Him and obey His commands. We study His Word and pray for His guidance and eventually we should see ourselves coming closer and closer to that which we see and study in God's Word. Notice Paul's words in 2 Cor 3:12 Therefore, since we have such hope, we use great boldness of speech-- 13unlike Moses, who put a veil over his face so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at the end of what was passing away. 14But their minds were blinded. For until this day the same veil remains unlifted in the reading of the Old Testament, because the veil is taken away in Christ. 15But even to this day, when Moses is read, a veil lies on their heart. 16Nevertheless when one turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. 17Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. 18But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord. And James' words in Ja 1:22 But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. 23For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror; 24for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was. 25But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does. So we should use God's Word to measure our lives and strive to come closer to that absolute standard of Perfection as Modeled by our Lord. Now of course, each of us is responsible for our own soul's condition and the relationship we establish with God our Father. AND since we are very definitely our brother's/sister's keeper, yes we are to love them enough to do our fruit inspecting and at least ask how they're doing in their walk with God. We SHOULD be willing to confess our faults, our weaknesses to one another, confide and pray for one another as the scriptures encourages us to do. In this way, we gain a closer fellowship with our family members AND a closer relationship with God. The overall net effect is that we're all transformed on a daily basis into better and more mature christians. Hopefully, we'll all be motivated to take as many as possible with us, hand in hand during our journey to Heaven. Do you not agree? I hope so. Blessings to you. Country Girl |

I agree with you, it's always best to gather from the verse under discussion what is the immediate context so for that purpose, I quote: Matt 19:23 And Jesus said to His disciples, "Truly I say to you, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. Matt 19:24 "Again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God." Matt 19:25 When the disciples heard this, they were very astonished and said, "Then who can be saved?" Matt 19:26 And looking at them Jesus said to them, "With people this is impossible, but with God all things are possible." Matt 19:27 Then Peter said to Him, "Behold, we have left everything and followed You; what then will there be for us?" Matt 19:28 And Jesus said to them, "Truly I say to you, that you who have followed Me, in the regeneration when the Son of Man will sit on His glorious throne, you also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. Matt 19:29 "And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or farms for My name's sake, will receive many times as much, and will inherit eternal life. Matt 19:30 "But many who are first will be last; and the last, first." So we see that Christ made this statement immediately after his encounter with the rich young ruler who refused to give up his possessions, take up his cross and follow Jesus. So once again, this regeneration is a transition process. God and His Son want to see us, all of us graduate from this physical world to a spiritual world, come and join Him in Heaven but as I've mentioned before, we MUST allow God to choose the timing. Again, I don't see anything truly different in this scenario. Basically it boils down to us in our present condition without God, after we reach the age of accountability and before we become a christian...we've got no hope. Then we establish a relationship with Him as our Father through His Son and ONLY through Him. Everything else is on God's part to get us there in Heaven through our belief and faith in His Grace and Forgiveness. All we got to do is obey His commands which include "being faithful till death" per Rev 2:10 and being fruitful in our works of faith as per James 2. How could it be any clearer? Now, I must admit we CANNOT boast or think we can earn our way to Heaven. That too is very clear from the scriptures but we do have a job to do: be a vessel for God showing His Light throughout our lives so that others will be influenced to also establish a similar relationship to God. Now, can we agree on all the above? I hope so. Blessings to you. Country Girl |

I can only respond with more scripture. 1 Pet 2:13 Submit yourselves for the Lord's sake to every human institution, whether to a king as the one in authority, 1 Pet 2:14 or to governors as sent by him for the punishment of evildoers and the praise of those who do right. 1 Pet 2:15 For such is the will of God that by doing right you may silence the ignorance of foolish men. 1 Pet 2:16 Act as free men, and do not use your freedom as a covering for evil, but use it as bondslaves of God. 1 Pet 2:17 Honor all people, love the brotherhood, fear God, honor the king. and 1 Pet 5:5 Likewise you younger people, submit yourselves to your elders. Yes, all of you be submissive to one another, and be clothed with humility, for "God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble." 1 Pet 5:6 Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, 1 Pet 5:7 casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.

229 | Christ our Superior Priest | Heb 4:14 | Country Girl | 125331 | ||
I've seen and read all three of your posts on this subject book of Hebrews but you've posed no questions, only statements. Is this a three part sermon or are we headed for some questions to start a discussion? So far, I agree with all of your statements as Hebrews is an excellent dissertation of the superiority of Christianity over the Jewish Religion. Blessings to you. Country Girl |

So why didn't God send His Son thousands of years earlier and saved Himself all the grief and heartache, putting up with the Jewish nation and their disobedience and eventually destroying their nationhood? I've got an opinion but I'd be interested in seeing your's first. Blessings to you. Country Girl |

That's a very powerful question. It makes one pause and think. But I'm convinced that just as we saw with the quick downward spiral into sin after the Fall of mankind from the Garden of Eden which lead to the Destruction of the Flood, mankind doesn't have a very track record for even understanding God. We have a much more difficult time growing and appreciating His thinking, His priorities. We're inclined to criticize the disciples and think they were so spiritually immature before the coming of the Holy Spirit. But then, look at the history of this planet since that timeframe. We've had several world wars/conflicts and continue to do the same. We're devastating our atmosphere and the plant life on this planet which helps replenish the oxygen on earth. And I don't need to remind you what we're doing to our own country. No, we have nothing to brag about. But back to the subject at hand. I think that mankind had to experience "hitting the bottom" like an alcholic. We have to understand that life here on earth without God quite often results in Hell on earth. And that's just a small sample of what Hell will be like after Judgment Day. Now that we have all this documented history of all the grief and misery produced from man's own wickedness, we finally begin to get an idea of the consequences from which Christ is rescuing us. So before that point when Christ came into the world, we wouldn't have appreciated His Gift, His Sacrifice. Now at least, most of mankind can identify and understand most of the Gospel Message without a whole lot of coaxing. Whereas in the centuries before Jesus' coming, only a very few people (even within the Jewish nation) had an inkling of appreciation for anything of a Godly nature. Now because of all of what the Jewish people went through and the Perfect Sacrifice of God's Son, the whole world has a chance to go to Heaven if we as God's children will just go out and preach the Good News. Hope this is what you were looking for. Blessings to you. Country Girl |

232 | Being of sound mind... | Heb 9:17 | Country Girl | 127543 | ||
So what all is bequethed to those who receive? Who decides who qualifies? Who is the executor? What are the qualifications? Is there anything specific we have to do to accept? Is there room for/can we expect any codicil(s)? Good topic. Country Girl |

233 | Being of sound mind... | Heb 9:17 | Country Girl | 127726 | ||
I know Mephibosheth was the son of Jonathan and that David took care of Mephibosheth, even as he was a cripple because of his feet. I see some parallels here but it's a little difficult to take this comparison much further. For example where's the qualifications for accepting God's/Jesus' gift from His Last Will and Testament? What are all the gifts that we might expect from Jesus' Will? There's no discussion of codicils. Is that not applicable in this topic/discussion? Who was the executor(s)? How did he/they determined who was truly qualified to receive the gift? Yes, interesting analogy but not quite complete. Please, enlighten me further. Blessings to you. Country Girl |

234 | Being of sound mind... | Heb 9:17 | Country Girl | 128050 | ||
I must admit, I'm a little confused. You were the one who linked this story of David and Mephibosheth to the original post about the whole process and leaving a will and having it properly executed. Can you enlighten me and explain why you linked these two ideas? It seems to me, my other questions are still valid and need answers. Your response, my friend? Blessings to you. Country Girl |

Ah, yes! The famous "one another" passages. I've studied most of these all my life but I've never seen them listed in such a comprehensive manner as this.

236 | Just what is the purpose of baptism? | Heb 11:7 | Country Girl | 129922 | ||
I can only speak from experience. Our first son was about 10 or 11 years old when he first came to me and his father about wanting to baptized and become a christian. My spouse and I looked at each other and agreed to talk about this at length at home. When we got home, we started talking to Josh, asking him questions about christianity. What did he need to do to become one? Why was it important to him? Did he realize the costs or the sacrifice involved? He did answer some of the questions correctly as he had been going to Bible classes all his life. He didn't know them all in spite of being able to check his Bible, you know open book style testing. After several more weeks of questioning and much discussion between us as his parents, Josh decided that he wasn't quite ready. We agreed. However, about a year and half later, Josh was ready. He answered those questions, this time with conviction and showed us in the Bible where those answers were to be found. Last of all, we reminded him of the costs and the sacrifices he must make. The next day, Josh was baptized and did indeed become a christian at the dear sweet age of 13. Now, several years later our son, that same Josh got a tatoo on his arm, against the advice of us, his parents. He has also displayed other areas of his life in which he has a weakness but he continues to struggle with His Lord. He has finally given up smoking and is now moving on to some of the other areas of weakness in his life. As you can imagine, all parents, especially christian parents who have lived their whole life in a christian home like I have, watch our children live and grow in a physical world and strive to develop a real and genuine spiritual relationship with God, the Father of all. Believe me, I have some small tidbit of knowledge and experience about gradually getting closer and closer to God both before and after our point of salvation. I'm convinced God realizes this difficulty in our human condition. Paul discusses this difficulty in Romans 7 and if Paul at this time of his life had difficulty with the baptismal meausre of the Holy Spirit living within him, you can imagine how much more difficult it is for us, without that Aid. Blessings to you in posing a good question. Country Girl |

237 | Superior Hope | Heb 11:40 | Country Girl | 126986 | ||
I've been having a rather interesting and stimulating discussion with Kalos and a few others about the applicability of the OT to us as modern christians. I've been using this Book of Hebrews and its discussion on this superiority in contrast to the OT as one of my main supports. Although I have tremendous respect and love for the OT, it all boils down (at least to me) to the fact that there is currently no applicable authority in the OT as it applies to our modern form of worship, God's plan of salvation through His Son or the actual mechanics of running and organizing the church in this dispensation. Thus I've been saying (and have received much flak for it) that the OT is obsolete with its emphasis on the sacrifices of animals, the Levitical Priesthood, allowing men an easy out for divorce, and allowing a man to lust for a women as long as he doesn't commit adultery. This indicates just how spiritually immature mankind was in that dispensation and thus why the OT should be considered obsolete. Again, I wish to emphsize the tremendous value we have in the OT. It shows us like no other resource the tremendous love and patience our God has for all of us mankind. The OT shows the tremendous lengths and great strides our Lord went through to try to get to His children (Jews). This reflects the fact that He really wants to get through to us but NOW He chooses to do so through His Son. I guess my main point is that God wants to give His Son ALL the prominence in this dispensation and thus had the OT nailed to the cross when Jesus was crucified. That's why we as God's obedient children must give Christ the preiminence by worshiping Him on Sunday, the first day of the week and NOT any other day like the Sabbath. Although it's a tough thing for some people to do, in my opinion we should learn to give up our love affair with the OT and put its AUTHORITY on a shelf and move on with modern christianity as described in the NT. What do think about this subject? Blessings to you. Country Girl |

I like to think of this process with a little more accurate or at least more applicable comparison between our relationship of mankind to our Father to the relationship between an earthly parent and his/her kids. All parents experience the rearing and training necessary in our homes with kids. They start out in diapers but don't stay there for very long. Before you know iti they're running around all over the house, touching and playing with all of our favorite trinkets and treasured possessions on our coffee tables and other easy accessible places in our homes. So we say No, No and lightly slap their hands. They persist and sooner or later we have to learn and re-train ourselves to put things out of their reach. Finally, they grow up big enough to be potty trained and must now learn to pick up their toys. We as parents have to be very specific and tell them over and over again, giving much love and an ocassional spat on their backsides. Then they grow and learn to make up their beds and pick up their clothes. Eventually they take on more and more responsibilities, like mowing the lawn and cleaning the garage for which they expect an allowance. Finally, we see them graduate high school, tackle a real full time job and maybe even go to college. Ah, yes parenting...what a ride. It was so much fun, while it lasted. Now that we're "empty nesters," we get philosophical and talk over the old days. AND think about how our Lord did the same thing with us as his children, all mankind throughout history. Talk about the patience of Job; how incredibly patient our Lord has been. In spite of all the bad history of this planet, as documented both in our Bibles as well as our archeology, we still insist on following the footsteps of the Roman Empire and endanger the very future of this great and wonderful nation. Yet your analogy is also quite good. God does expect us to graduate from the elementary school of the Law of Moses and move on to the truly spiritual world of christianity. Better than that He really wants us to learn to prefer His spiritual world completely by leaving this physical world BUT of course He wants us to do this at HIS timing. It's a difficult thing to grasp and only after much experience, pain and suffering that God allows to temper our attitude so that we do grow up to be a little closer to God's standard as He sent to us, His Son. Thanks for your post and blessings to you. Country Girl |

In addition to the Book of Hebrews which contrasts the superiority of christianity to Judiasm, we also have the Book of Romans which clearly describes just how totally inadequate the Law of Moses really was. See below. Rom 4:13 For the promise to Abraham or to his descendants that he would be heir of the world was not through the Law, but through the righteousness of faith. Rom 4:14 For if those who are of the Law are heirs, faith is made void and the promise is nullified; Rom 4:16 For this reason it is by faith, in order that it may be in accordance with grace, so that the promise will be guaranteed to all the descendants, not only to those who are of the Law, but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all, Rom 6:19 I am speaking in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. For just as you presented your members as slaves to impurity and to lawlessness, resulting in further lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness, resulting in sanctification. Rom 7:4 Therefore, my brethren, you also were made to die to the Law through the body of Christ, so that you might be joined to another, to Him who was raised from the dead, in order that we might bear fruit for God. Rom 7:5 For while we were in the flesh, the sinful passions, which were aroused by the Law, were at work in the members of our body to bear fruit for death. Rom 7:6 But now we have been released from the Law, having died to that by which we were bound, so that we serve in newness of the Spirit and not in oldness of the letter. Rom 7:8 But sin, taking opportunity through the commandment, produced in me coveting of every kind; for apart from the Law sin is dead. Rom 7:23 but I see a different law in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin which is in my members. Rom 7:25 Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, on the one hand I myself with my mind am serving the law of God, but on the other, with my flesh the law of sin. Rom 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death. Rom 8:3 For what the Law could not do, weak as it was through the flesh, God did: sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and as an offering for sin, He condemned sin in the flesh, Thus in spite of the opinions you offer from other men, we see Apostle Paul with divine inspiration puts down the Law of Moses and the whole system of Judiasm as it was totally inadequate and is now obsolete. How do you reconcile your position about the OT in contrast to Paul's teaching as cited above? Blessings to you, dear friend. Country Girl |

The true authority in this dispensation as blessed by God Himself was given to His Son as stated in Matt 28:18. Thus, the whole NT is epitimized with the Supreme Perfect Example and High Priest of our Lord. Only His Words and those of His appointed representatives should be heeded, and NOT those of the OT prophets including Moses himself. Don't get me wrong, those men in the OT were good men. They tried their best but they didn't have 3 and half years of living and being with the Savior like the Apostles did. Those OT prophets didn't have the benefit and full empowerment of the Holy Spirit with Its Gift of Salvation in Its Full and Powerful measure. Blessings to you. Country Girl |
