241 | Why was the samarian woman right? | John 4:16 | retxar | 20067 | ||
The answer is in verse 18 you quoted "he whom thou now hast is NOT thy husband" Having a man is not the same thing as having a husband. retxar |

Hi Joe, Quick question. I claim neither Arminians or Calvinism. I don't want to get things cranked back up here, but I's just got ta know. If the Reformed teaching upholds the view that individuals can only die in their sins, because they are not atoned for, how does it explain Jesus extending forgiveness, personally, to the "non-elect", when no forgiveness was available? (i.e. Mat 19:21, Mar 10:21, Luke 18:22, Luke 23:34). How could Jesus say their sins could be forgiven and they could inherit eternal life, if what He was saying was not actually true and there sins were not atoned for? Thanks bro, retxar |

You may think this is just a bunch of bull. But “BUNCH OF BULL” has 11 letters, so “YOU ARE WRONG”! (11 letters BTW)! “MARK MY WORDS”, You can run, but “YOU CAN’T HIDE”! GOD BLESS YOU (11 again) (“SEE, I TOLD YOU”) 1Tim 4:7 But reject profane and old wives' fables, and exercise yourself toward godliness. Jesus saves! retxar |

Thanks Nolan, You have confirmed for me exactly what I had shared with another brother elsewhere a while back. His interpretation of “God's Word enduring forever” is that it has to remain in tact, word for word, jot for jot, tittle for tittle (he was KJO), otherwise it cannot claim the title as “God’s Word”. I gave him this example in Luke to show him that Jesus did not share the same view as he did, because what Jesus read was only perfect in the since that the message God originally inspired was conveyed exactly as God intended. Jesus confirmed the actual words of the translation when he said “This day is this scripture fulfilled IN YOUR EARS” (Luke 4:21 KJV), even tho it was not a word for word translation of Isaiah. This left him searching for answers, because it did not exactly fit with his KJO position. I pray that the Holy Spirit will be allowed to work in this situation. Thank you for being the other “witness” I needed to confirm what I felt the Holy Spirit had revealed to me to share with this brother. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established (2Co 13:1b). Thanks, retxar |

246 | When was Saul of Tarsus saved? | Heb 9:22 | retxar | 18765 | ||
I guess they get around it by ignoring all the decisive Scripture that plainly says water baptism is not a salvation requirement, and by using a few verses that COULD be made to mean it is required, if there were not so much overwhelming Scriptural evidence that says otherwise. Just because a verse has water baptism listed along with grace thru faith, does not make water baptism a requirement. Mar 16:16 does not say belief AND baptism are required for salvation. It simply says "He who believes and is baptized will be saved”. It could have also said believes and is baptized, and preaches, and teaches, and witnesses, and goes to church on Sunday. What did I add that would have disqualified someone from being saved? Nothing! The second part of that verse tells us what CANNOT be left out; “but he who does not believe will be condemned”. Mar 16:16 is actually strong scriptural evidence that water baptism is NOT a salvation requirement. If you insist that Mar 16:16 is saying water baptism is required for salvation, then you must also accept ALL the signs spoken of in the next two verses as requirements that must follow ALL believers who are truly saved. Is that your position? I, like you, will take Jesus at His Word. What about the Gentiles who Paul was called to preach the Gospel to? (1Co 1:17) Would he not have also been called to baptism them, if baptism was required for salvation? What about the Gentiles who believed and were filled with the Holy Spirit in Acts 10? How could the Jews have ever questioned water baptism if they thought it was a salvation requirement? The Jews did not doubt that God saved Gentiles (Acts 10:34-35), only if they were to be baptized. How in the world can one explain this away? Repentance means “A complete reversal of one's attitude and values, i.e. a turning toward God”. Repentance is an inevitable result of salvation. How is it possible to turn to Jesus without turning from sin? It can happen no other way! Immediately before Saul's encounter with Jesus, he was persecuting Christians (Act 9:1-2). After the encounter he had a complete reversal of his attitude and values, did he not? To say Saul did not repent is simply not true. Eph 2:8-9 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, NOT OF WORKS, lest anyone should boast. Salvation is by grace thru faith, baptism is by obedience thru works. Salvation is NOT OF WORKS, least anyone should boast. retxar |

See my question to DLD How can anyone get around all the scripture about salvation that doesn’t mention water baptism at all? (Mat10:32, Luk12:8, Joh1:12, Joh3:16, Luk 7:47, Luk 7:48, Luk 7:50, Act 4:12, Act 10:43, Act 13:39, Act 15:7, Act 15:8, Act 15:9, Act 15:11, Rom10:9, Rom10:10, Gal 3:14, Eph 2:8, Phi 3:9, 1Jo 2:23, 1Jo 4:2, 1Jo 4:15, 1Jo 5:1 etc, etc, etc) |

248 | When was Saul of Tarsus saved? | Heb 9:22 | retxar | 18302 | ||
OK. I think you got a bite here! Good fishing, my friend! Eph 1:7 In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace. Our redemption, forgiveness, and salvation is thru what Jesus did on the cross, not what we do in the water. Eph 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Eph 2:9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. Salvation is by grace thru faith. Water baptism is obedience thru works, not grace thru faith. Regardless of the “when”, the “how” of Paul’s salvation was exactly as you said yourself when you quoted Paul and Silas’s words to the jailer, "believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved." With Paul or anyone else, salvation comes the same way. Paul believed on the Lord Jesus Christ and he was saved, period. How can anyone get around all the scripture about salvation that doesn’t mention water baptism at all? (Mat10:32, Luk12:8, Joh1:12, Joh3:16, Luk 7:47, Luk 7:48, Luk 7:50, Act 4:12, Act 10:43, Act 13:39, Act 15:7, Act 15:8, Act 15:9, Act 15:11, Rom10:9, Rom10:10, Gal 3:14, Eph 2:8, Phi 3:9, 1Jo 2:23, 1Jo 4:2, 1Jo 4:15, 1Jo 5:1 etc, etc, etc) Balance scripture with scripture. Just because water baptism is mentioned along with grace thru faith, does not mean it is a salvation requirement. Study Peter’s sermon to the Gentiles at Cornelius’ house (Acts 10:34-43). Look at verse 43; ...“through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.” Peter declares salvation to “whosoever believes”, no mention of water baptism at all. In fact water baptism was apparently thought to be only for the Jews up until this point, by what Peter said in verse 47. No doubt many Gentiles had received salvation since Pentecost (8 years prior). The Jewish believers who came with Peter were not surprised at God saving the Gentiles, but that God poured out the Holy Spirit upon the Gentiles in the same manner as He poured out the Holy Spirit on the Jews at Pentecost. It wasn’t until then that water baptism was considered for the Gentiles, but salvation was accepted to be for every nation (Act 10:35). In Christ Jesus, retxar |

I won't repeat what I have already said about baptisms (notice the “s” on the end, i.e. Heb 6:2). When I balance scripture with scripture, the "one baptism" theory just does not “hold water” with me. Of coarse I haven’t looked at Mark 28:19 yet; maybe that would throw the balance the other way :-). The baptism with the Holy Spirit is a difficult subject only if we try to come up with a different definition than what Jesus told us plainly in Acts 1:5, described in Acts 1:8, and was first manifested in Acts 2:4. Nowhere does the Word suggest it was a one time event. Peter actually said the opposite in Act 2:17. Eph 4:1-7 is speaking of unity in the church thru the working of the Holy Spirit in each believer. We, as the body of Christ, have unity because of our common beliefs. Maybe we will never share the same views on baptism, but I am willing to bet the beliefs we share are greater than any potential differences we might have. What’a’ya think? | ||||||

251 | When was "In the Beginning" | Gen 1:1 | retxar | 17638 | ||
The world says "seeing is believing", God says "believing is seeing". Your friends "say" they need "proof" to believe and see God's glory in creation. That is not really true (Joh 12:37). If people needed "proof" for every thing they believed in, they would not even get out of bed! Jesus did not say that His glory would be revealed to the unbelieving in order for them to believe. Jesus said only those who believe, would see the glory of God (Joh 11:40). Jesus Lives! retxar |

Have you ever prayed, struggling to know, let alone put into words, what you wanted to say, and had no idea what you needed to pray? Well I think that is the meaning of the word "groaning" here. So, I can't see it as the Holy Spirit being the one doing the groaning. I see it as the person praying who is groaning, and the Holy Spirit interceeding. Look up at Rom 8:22; "the whole creation groans ". Look up at Rom 8:23 "we ourselves groan". So I think in context, in verse 26 we are still groaning, not the Holy Spirit. Just the way I see it, bro. In Christ Jesus, retxar |

Romans 8:26 tells us the Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness, praying for us with groanings that cannot be expressed in our own words. This includes praying in the spiritual gift of tongues, but is not limited to praying in tongues only. With the help of the Holy Spirit, our petitions are perfect before God, whether we are praying with the spirit or praying with understanding (1Cor14:15). The purpose of the gift of tongues is to enable us to pray in a way that is not limited by our own knowledge or ability (1Cor14:2). By the same token when I was saved at age 11, I only found out about the so called “sinner’s prayer” after my salvation. I simply prayed “Jesus save me” over and over, as I could think of nothing else to pray. It did not matter, because God saw my heart. He wasn’t looking for a prayer that “touched all the bases”, He was looking at my heart. My prayer was simple and lacking, but the Holy Spirit prayed the perfect prayer for me before the Father! Praise the Lord! Jesus Saves! retxar |

254 | Can we agree? | Hebrews | retxar | 17522 | ||
I question my taste and selectiveness by jumping in the middle of this thread! Man, it's hot in here! I don't watch much TV, period, but when I do, it is usually Christian, but I admit that's not a whole lot, so I'm not on top of the scene by any stretch of the imagination. I don't guess I'm tuned in on the same channel as you are talking about :-). I don't pay much attention to the antique news published about people who have been in the public eye for a while. If I did I would have to count all as heritics because ANYONE you can name who has done or is doing a work for the Lord, including you and I, could be on the list, if ANYONE so desired. There's plenty of dirt to go around! People even throw it on God's Word, so mere men and women are not immune! You do what God has called you to do, bro, but I think He is telling me to get out of here and get some air. Jesus Saves, fixes, mends, repairs, and restores! God bless, retxar |

255 | Can we agree? | Hebrews | retxar | 17461 | ||
OK. I was just going by what I saw. I know nothing about the other stuff you brought up. It just seemed to me that Kelkat was saying something different than what your post was addressing. I have never even heard of the teachings you are talking about. I don't know if you are talking about current beliefs or, as I have saw so many times, a 10 year plus statement someone has made in error, and later refuted. I think it would be wise to make sure what you are saying here is what is currently believed and taught. In Christ Jesus |

256 | Can we agree? | Hebrews | retxar | 17435 | ||
Please don't twist what a brother/sister has said here. Kelkat did not say satan got anything from man. Clarify with Kekat, but I think in your haste to rebuke, you read something into what was actually said. Go back and read again. It seems to me Kelkat is saying man's sin was what opened the door for satan to become ruler of this world (John 12:31,John 14:30,John 16:11,Eph 2:2,Eph 6:12,Col 1:13,1John 4:4, 1John 5:19) and under the authority of God who is all powerfull as Kelkat stated and you confirmed. Forgive me for butting in if I have mis-understood either of you here. In Christ Jesus, retxar |

258 | Did Jesus spend 3 days in hell? | Bible general Archive 1 | retxar | 17154 | ||
Good teaching here, bro! Jesus was glorified on the cross not in the grave! When He said “It is finished” He meant ”It was finished”, NOT “I going to hell now to get beat up some more!” I agree with what you said of Jesus going to Paradise and declaring the Good News (1Pe 4:6) and then took the captives to heaven (Eph 4:8). What's your thoughts concerning Acts 2:31 that says “His soul was not left in Hades”? How or does that tie in with 1Pe 3:19 that says “He went and preached to the spirits in prison”? How or does that tie in with Phi 2:10 that says “at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those UNDER the earth”? Does this mean Jesus went to Hades, along with going to Paradise, and proclaimed the Gospel? Thanks, retxar |

Sorry, I didn’t realize your lack of knowledge of “who did Cain marry” was a situation of such perishable consequences. I know it may be tough, but I don’t really think you will perish over it! Try to hang in there my friend! Actually, contrary to what you said, I DID supply scripture that answered your question, even if it did not support my wise-crack of an answer for this old, tired, dead end, and utterly worn out question. Deu 29:29a “ The secret things belong to the LORD our God”. Look again, maybe you will see. Here’s the deal I would like to make with you, if it sounds OK to you. In the future I will try to answer all your questions with solid, scriptural support, if, when you wish to call me a “fool” again, you will also supply solid scripture that you see allows you to do so. I’m kind of skiddiest of that “hell fire” stuff Jesus warned us about in Mat 5:22 myself, but you make up your own mind. In Christ Jesus, retxar |

You asked "if baptism isn’t water baptism (which I obviously lean towards) then what is it and where are the scriptures to show it?" Did you not read my post to you a few days ago that I gave to you to show that each time "baptism" is spoken of in Scripture that it is not always speaking of water baptism? I gave you 10 verses or so that speak of batism that can not be referring to water baptism. Is there ANY verses I gave that you think are referring to water baptism? I don't like reposting but I will repost the part I am referring to bacause I don't really think you saw it, as you are still asking for Scripture that speak of any baptism other than water. Repost: Eph 4:5 declares one baptism as you have quoted. However, Heb 6:2 says the doctrine of BAPTISMS not baptism, right? Look at Mat3:11b, Mat20:22-23, Mar1:8b, Mar10:38-39, Luk3:16b, Luk12:50, Acts1:5b, and Acts11:16b. Can we agree that none of these references mean water baptism? So, can we agree that the Word declares more than 1 baptism, as far as number goes? So, what does "one baptism" mean in Eph 4:5? Since the Word declares more than one baptism, as far as number, the "one" here must mean the one baptism that brings salvation. Not the baptism into the body of Christ PLUS water baptism, but baptism into the body of Christ ALONE (1Cor12:13). Jesus Saves! retxar |
