Hello Edwin! Greetings! I can see your point, and it is well taken and I know what you mean. but there is sometimes a problem with the terms that we as Christians use. Conversion for example can be one of them. here are just three definitions given in the dictionary. 1. the act or process of converting; state of being converted. 2. change in character, form, or function. 3. spiritual change from sinfulness to righteousness. Some use this term to mean the same thing as being born again, and this is understandable. And being born again, is certainly a one tine shot, if you please. But lets look at this please, if you will. And, I'm not debating your your inference, I'm just trying to come to an understanding of terms. Although we know that we are born once in the Spirt, there is as we know an ongoing process of sanctification, and looking at the definition of conversion, this can certainly be construed as the same as sanctification, i,e. the ongoing process i.e. we are being transformed/converted/sanctified. to the image of Christ. I hope this can bring us to a unification of terms. Again, I am not disagreeing with inference, just definitions. thank you brother. God bless. John |

Hi Doc, Well said, and a good reminder, as to who is really watching. Our Father doesn't miss (anything), though we may fool others. This has been a temptation for me, as I believe, most (honest) humans, will admit. Thanks Doc. God bless. John |

hello Brother! So true, and more wise words to keep in our heart. It does seem so hard to pull them back. But I am reminded of the prodigal son, If they are truly His, the good shepherd will get them out of the pigpen, and bring them home. I was listening to sermon today and he was saying how so many Christians, like to hang around the edge of the cliff instead of running as far from it as they can, and to Jesus, and the Cross. Thanks doc. God bless. John P.S. Having a problem enrolling at setting captives free? Can you help? |

Hi doc, I dont know who wrote this, just something I thought was fitting. LIBERAL CHRISTIANS ARE, SYNTHETIC SAINTS; THEY HAVE, HUMANIZED CHRIST, NATURALIZED THE BIBLE, SOCIALIZED THE GOSPEL,DEVITALIZED SALVATION, IMMUNIZED THE CROSS, EMASCULATED REGENERATION, AND FUMIGATED SIN; THEY APPLY REDEMPTION AS A COSMETIC! God Bless. John |

Dear Mr. Heretohelpno-onebuthisownspirituallyignorantmisunderstandingofscripture, It is precisely, for this reason, we who have spiritual discernment, through the indwelling of the Holly Spirt: (Who Is God!) And because; we are in Christ: (Who is God!) That we; have not fallen off the same cliff that the Jehovah wittiness, the Mormon, The Christian scientist, and every other ism and cult that is out there has fallen off. |

Hello brother Edwin, It is good as always to hear back from you. And thank you for your email. In response I have something I would like to share with the forum. This is not in response to the post it is attached, I am simply jumping in to one of your resent posts, if you please. You wrote; ***** "Hi Mark. Thank you for your kind words, it's great to have fellowship with you once more. but please dear brother don't put the cart before the horse. We were not dead in sins, before we were in Christ, but we were in Christ before we were dead in sins. You and I and all other people are inside the "Space Time Continuum", a creation of the Lord superimposed upon Eternity. Eternity is timelessness, and it is in Eternity that God the Father placed us in His Son before the beginning of time, however, we do not come into existence until after time was created (but He knew that we would exist). We were dead in sins at the point of our conception onwards, (see Psalm 51:5), and remained so until we were saved, after which we discover that we have been "in Christ" from before the foundation of the earth" ****** I think I do see, as well as one stuck in this thing that we humans call time can see, that is. It reminds me of a time not long after I was given the gift of God. And filled with the Spirit, I was joyfully building a retaining wall on my property, using rocks that are extremely numerous here. And I was singing praises, feeling very grateful that He had given to me all these wonderful free rocks for my project. And it dawned on me, that in the years past, before I knew God in the way that I now knew Him, I used to damn those very same rocks, as they were rough angular inordinately heavy and so very hard to handle. But now, I could see that because of their angular shape, rough surface and heaviness, they allowed me to build a strong durable wall, and without the need of any cement mortar. And I thought that God In His wonderful knowledge and wisdom of all things past present and future, knew even before He laid the foundation of the earth, and before these very rocks were made, because as far back as we can imagine, if we go there, we will meet Him coming toward us out of eternity. And that farther back then my limited puny human mind could ever imagine, He already knew me, and He knew that some glorious day, when the angels in heaven would sing in awesome wonder of His glorious mercy and grace, that I was created to be the kind of man that would believe God, and live. And I somehow knew these rocks were created just for me, and although I once damned them, I now was only grateful to God for everything, because he created the world and us puny little humans for His good pleasure, and that we as Christians can also be grateful that it pleases Him to please us, for we are His children. Alleluia! Glory to God in the highest! God bless. John |

Hi Cheri, This may open quite a discussion. But I believe that as the Church, we have a little different relationship with God then does the nation Israel. Israel was rejected as God's Priests, and that priesthood, has been given now to His church. The promises He gave to Abraham are also different. Abraham was promised the land, and that ultimately will be the new earth, we will be God's priests, and live in the new Jerusalem, at least for the millennia. After that, all of God's kingdom will be our domain. i.e. the universe, or the new heavens. This would take quite a lot of time to go through all the Scripture on this. And, I may not be exactly accurate in all my understanding, but I believe I'm pretty close. God bless. John |

Cheri, That is true, but the remnant of Israel is still not the church, I wasn't sure if you are clear on that point. God has not rejected the remnant. Is that what you are saying? All that have come to know the one true God, and believe in His plan of salvation, and accept it, and are willing to repaint and turn to Him, are part of His family. We are grafted in but, The Church, and the nation Israel, are sort of like cousins, and we will be God's priests to minister to them. The Jew today, that is a believer in, and accepts Christ as their redeemer, is now a part of the Church, and no longer a part of the nation Israel. At least that is the way I see it. How are you doing with that? God bless. John P.S. How am I doing Doc? |

Hi Cheri, Yes, Pretty much we are on the same page. I would like too say as well that I am impressed with your knowledge of Scripture, Coming from a charismatic background. And please, don't any one get me wrong, please know my heart in this, as I have fellowship with charismatic christians, and Love them just as much as I do all my brothers and sisters. But I have sometimes found that the real 'meat' of the scriptures are left out of their teaching, but not always. And not necessarily that this is inherently wrong, there is a time and season for all things. ok, having said that, I think it is important to really see the difference between the Church, and the nation Israel, as we will someday be God's priests, to and for them. God promised the 'land' to Abraham, not to the Church, and its ok I guess to see it as though we are spiritually grafted in with them as spiritual Israel if you please. but in actuality we are not the same. Israel will be given the Land, and forever, as God promised, God will make 'our' dwelling place the new Jerusalem. that is were the Church will live if you please. And I don't know how, but we will be able to come and go to minister to all the nations of the world during the millennial rain, after that comes another Judgment. I believe even during that time, even though Jesus will be King, and His law will rule, many will fall because of mans sin nature. But as always, there will still be a 'remnent' of the nation Israel. I hope we are doing ok so far. I'm not very good at typing I need a break. :-( I've been at it all day. :-( God bless John |

Hi CDBJ No need for any help Just trying to get a discussion going. i've already got my answer. wanted to see what others thought. That looks pretty good but I've never really gone along with that view. I think its a spiritual reference to Christ, as christ is the ONLY way to life. No need for any fruit if you got Jesus! John |
