Against it!!?? You injected into the discussion, I didn't. All I did was identify the biasness of your reference and the origin of it. | ||||||

Ok, but since it is an interpretation of a Biblical passage on which a demonination [s] has/have established itself/themselves, I can leave my comment stand that it is Calvinism, right? | ||||||
243 | How would you make textual decisions? | 1 John 5:7 | Ken hepting | 99839 | ||
What you are claiming is that a reading (1 John 5:7-8), which is found in only four late manuscripts, should be included in the text of the Bible, even though thousands of earlier manuscripts do not include it. How do you reach that decision? On what basis should anyone reach this conclusion? 1. It is truth 2. And since it is how do you know there wouldn't have been agreement from the earlier writers? From the text, held in context, can you envision a difficulty? Sounds inspired to me. |

245 | How does the Lord do evil? | Jer 36:3 | Ken hepting | 99837 | ||
It doesn't originate in Him however it is used by Him to sometimes bring about the completion of His purposes. A permiting of Satan or his legions to smite man/men for his/their disobedience. | ||||||

Mark 10:14 (NASB-U) But when Jesus saw this, He was indignant and said to them, "Permit the children to come to Me; do not hinder them; for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. Don't you think it a bit strange that Jesus could say this and He wasn't even crucified? No one seems to ever ask that question. Salvation, for anyone, wasn't even made availabble for anyone at this point in time. Yet the little children were safe regardless of the "Elect". |

But that is Calvinism through and through and not Biblical at all. [see forum rules] | ||||||

I'll give it a go.... Innocence...without sin; None. No law, no accountability. That should provote you to thinking that the child will be in heaven. |

249 | What is my role in my sanctification? | NT general Archive 1 | Ken hepting | 99822 | ||
Great explanation! If I may I'd like to push it a degree further. That it is not the character of Christ to be asmmilated into us but rather Himself; His wholeness. If it can be discerned to be a larger transformation it will take us beyond the 'WWJD' experience and take us further into the "becoming a son" journey. | ||||||
250 | Stripping the Bible of Virgin | Is 7:14 | Ken hepting | 93881 | ||
I don't meant o be nit-picky but I wouldn't have a problem with it..and don't because, as I stated, the writers of the Gospels didn't have the problem. They understood "almah" to mean more than just "young maiden". Obviously the word must mean more than "young maiden" because of Mary's virginity, no? Stripping virginity from "almah" is an attempt to strip away the virgin birth. Critics do that sort of thing. | ||||||
251 | Stripping the Bible of Virgin | Is 7:14 | Ken hepting | 93850 | ||
I would say that the writers of the Gospels were also familiar with what the word "almah" meant and how it was beening used by Isaiah. Ergo, "virgin" was what they wrote. Luke 1:34 (KJV) Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I KNOW NOT A MAN? What do you think Mary meant be that? |

252 | Why little sign of power in our churches | Mark 16:17 | Ken hepting | 93551 | ||
Sorry this is a late response. 1 Cor 13:8 shows us that gifts will cease. At the time of 1 Cor 1:7 spritual gifts were very much abound still. Both 13:8 and 1:7 show us that they cease upon Christ's return. Now it's just a matter of when you feel Christ will or has returned. Take care Apparently you must believe He has returned. |

"Correct! Gifts and salvation are not tied together....." Correct! ".....Neither are gifts and the church....." Incorrect! ".......Neither is the church and salvation......" Partly correct! ".....I think it's a good idea to fellowship with Christians, but it's not a salvation issue...." Maybe! Depends on the condition of the "Christians" and what influence I may bring into the gathering. "....Salvation is grace, not church attendance or having a "gift"...." Maybe....A little to cultish here, I'm afraid. A good question you might ask yourself is "What salvation"? There is one that must be worked out with fear and trembling. Does the church have part in that one? How about the gifts? |
||||||
254 | Why little sign of power in our churches | Mark 16:17 | Ken hepting | 93532 | ||
But then the church isn't a salvation issue either. I feel bad for you. Take care. | ||||||

"Yes, beautiful passage. And not counter to Preterism or "gifts" ceasing. Take care" Gee. I must remind myself of this the next time I hear my aged friend who, without an education, speaks the most beautiful Mandrin Chinese as the Holy Spirit gives him utterance. |

"No. Preterists openly acknowledge the power, we understand that Christ DID have victory, then and forever. And through His victory, we have victory. Take care," You mean you believe it used to be but now you are sterile because it ceased to be yet somehow still is and you can't figure it out. That must be very frustrating for you. |

"We are, but you desire a physcial fulfillment, which I do not see as Biblically correct. The Pharisees very much wanted a physical fulfillment as well, but they were corrected." No need to condescend. Your lack of understanding here just keeps you from the deeper things of Christ' teachings. It's evident by your unkind thinking in your remark that you can't separate the physical from the Spiritual. They wanted a king. We expected nothing other than to be redeemed. Jesus gave us the "Promise", an enablement, that we become a son. The Pharisees don't even enter into the picture at this point. Jesus hid what He was doing and was going to do from them but to us He is the same yesterday, today and forever, unless you think He made a midcourse correction and failed to mention His slip up. ------------------------------------------- ...Perhaps you should examine what "ages" mean... "Well, I have, but what is your take on Ages?" No. I asked you. You are the one who believes that the "church age" is somehow stuttering in it's possession of the manifestation of the Holy Spirit. I find that it is those who think it ended in 70 a.d. to have the diffficulty in believing the evidence that still exists. No time in history has the power of God been more needed than now and you think it ended when the Apostles died. ---------------------------------------- ...Well I guess you'll have to come up with some scripture to support that theory... "Olivet Discourse plus 1 Cor 13:8." Nonsense. You have to throw out the rest of the Bible to support that view. I'd get a better understanding of what the "promise" is that Jesus and Peter spoke of. John 17:19-21 (NASB) "And for their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they themselves also may be sanctified in truth. [20] "I do not ask in behalf of these alone, but for those also who believe in Me through THEIR WORD; [21] that they may ALL BE ONE; even as Thou, Father, art in Me, and I in Thee, that they also may be in Us; that the world may believe that Thou didst send Me. Try reading this chapter again, for the first time...Take care |

"Yes, he was right. We are able to partake in the promise. BUT, so were Christians in the first century too. All believers, then, now and forever are able to partake in the promise. Take care," Then maybe you need a better understanding of what the promise is......based on the statements Peter, Paul and ....Jesus....or are you one who has a form of Godliness but denies it's power? |

"No. God reveals things to us as He choses. You know that Christ is the only way. That is really it, that's all you need. But, I believe that Christ does in fact reveal things to us still. To spread the Gospel, we need to know the Gospel." I thought we were speaking of a face to face experience with Christ and our 'knowing as we are known' and not what we PRESENTLY experience. That is what the scripture says, correct. Perhaps you should examine what "ages" mean. "Well, that's one way of looking at it. I still hold to ceassation around 70 AD though. Take care," Well I guess you'll have to come up with some scripture to support that theory. When Peter said that the promise is for all that are afar off, means me. Guess what? .....He was right. |

"before or after the Return of Christ. Most likely Paul meant the knowledge, or wisdom of the Age they were fixing to come out of. However, if you have a take on knowledge passing I'd be more then willing to hear it. Take care," Interesting but not unique. I've heard all that before and it still can't be reconciled with what Paul was stating. He says ALL knowledge will cease when we see Jesus ..face to face. So I must ask you why you feel the need to continue to learn after you are informed by Jesus Christ as to the sum of all knowledge? A joint heir will know all things as He knows all things, correct? ..Ergo, knowledge will cease...And since the gifts are for the edifying of the Disciple and the edifying of the Disciple's church, they will also cease to be needed....but only then will they cease to be needed. |
