261 | Lent. Why don't Catholics eat meat? | Bible general Archive 1 | New Creature | 85352 | ||
In my opinion when a Catholic says they don't eat meat on Fridays during lent, they are stating a falacy. The fact that they eat fish on Friday's during lent proves that they indeed do eat meat. The flesh of a fish is just as much meat as is the flesh of chicken. When I go to the grocery store, I have to go to the meat counter to buy fish. I don't see anything wrong with anyone who chooses to eat fish, on Friday's during Lent, just don't try to tell me you don't eat meat. That's not a totally factual statement. |

262 | Predestination question? | 1 Tim 2:4 | New Creature | 84484 | ||
It truly is God's desire that all men be saved. That statement expresses God's desire or will God has given men a will and a desire to either accept the free offer of salvation provided for by Christ Jesus and His sacrifical death, and atonement. I think Scripture states that people are predestined or are the elect according to the foreknowledge of God who knows what will take place before it actually happens. In other words, God knows beforehand who will and who will not receive the free offer of salvation. It is God's will that none perish, but man's will is not always in line with God's desired will. God's grace and Holy Spirit can be resisted. 1 PeterĀ 1:2 Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied RomansĀ 8:29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. God is Sovereign, but in His Sovereignty He chooses not to violate man's free will to accept or reject Him. Though He knows the choice before we make it. |

264 | Can You Answer All Ten? | Bible general Archive 1 | New Creature | 80121 | ||
Hank This was enjoyable. Let me attempt to answer just one of your questions, while at the same time asking a question myself. You asked - "Does a person have to be saved to be baptized?.... " My answer would be - a person who has been saved should desire to follow-up with baptism as an outward testimony of the inward change that has been brought about. Having said that, I now ask - Are all baptized people saved? Shalom New Creature |

265 | is interacical marriage wrong biblecal | Numbers | New Creature | 78870 | ||
From my understanding of Scriptures, (and I have searched the entire Bible) nothing seems to indicate to me that interracial dating or marrying is against the Bible. What I see in the Bible is that believers should not inter-marry with non-believers. Believers should marry believers. Shalom New Creature |

266 | Saved !! | Rom 8:1 | New Creature | 77569 | ||
It does not really matter if anyone agrees with the Statement "Once Saved always Saved" What ultimately matters is: Does Scripture agree with that statement. To that I would have to say NO! Scripture does not. Shalom New Creature |

268 | Restorations??? | Heb 6:6 | New Creature | 77236 | ||
From what I read in God's inspired word, especially what is found in Heb. 6:4-6 an individual who has "fallen away" cannot come back, or be renewed to repentance. An individual who is drifting away, but has not fallen away still has a chance before he goes over the brink of the falls. Falling away takes place slowly and almost unnoticeably.

269 | Resist His will? | Rom 10:17 | New Creature | 76868 | ||
slide My opinion is yes, and is based on what I see in God's word which says Matthew 23:37 - O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not God had plans for Jerusalem, but they would not have any part of it. Acts 7:51 - Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye. These are just a couple of many verses that indicate to me that God's will can be resisted Peace New Creature |

270 | Searching for the truth | Heb 1:2 | New Creature | 76122 | ||
Dear FytRobert God indeed does speak to us yet today. He speaks to our spirits through His Holy Spirit by His written word, and through circumstances in our lifes. Even when trials and difficulties arise in our lives, that very well could be God attempting to get our attention. In order for God to get the attention of some people, He needs to turn up the volume of trials or difficulties He allows to enter our lives. Now so you don't mistake what I'm saying I also feel the need to say that, even mature Christian's often times experience trials in their life. God also has a purpose of testing our faith to see whether or not it is genuine. As fire heats up gold, so the dross or impurities rise to the surface in order that they may be skimmed off, so that the gold will come forth pure in the finished product, so God sometimes turns the heat up on His people so they can have the impurities removed from their lives. Nevertheless that is God speaking. Even 7 Times in the first few chapters of Revelations we see where it is written. "He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches." The Spirit of God still is attemping to communicate with us today, because we too are the church. Many times what He is trying to say falls upon deaf ears which are probably not atuned with what He is trying to speak to us. Like a radio has to be tuned in properly to receive any communication. Our spirit which is our God given means of communicating with His Spirit need to be atuned to Him. Blessings New Creature |

271 | once saved always saved | John 10:28 | New Creature | 75905 | ||
Their is one group that believes in "once saved, always saved" Their is another group that believes, that salvation can be forfeited I am in this second group However both groups find Bible verses to support their belief. We need to look at the entirety of God's word, not pick and choose which verses we like. Each person should personally search God's word and draw from Scripture what is actually true as the Holy Spirit guides and teaches the individual. After having personally studied this topic in depth my sentiments are as follows the "once saved, always saved" teaching is built upon partial truths presented as the whole truth.

272 | What do "any" and "all" really mean? | Rom 10:9 | New Creature | 74895 | ||
Hank I tend to agree with Adam Clarke, who in his commentary wrote the following concerning 2 Pet 3:9 "As God is not willing that any should perish, and as He is willing that all should should come to repentance, consequently He has never devised nor decreed the damnation of any man, nor has He rendered it impossible for any soul to be saved."

273 | To whom do we belong? | Bible general Archive 1 | New Creature | 73448 | ||
The reason I haven't answered this question is because you didn't send it to me. Your question was as follows "If a person can turn away from God, I guess they can turn back again and again and again. Question, How many times did Christ die on the cross? How many times does He need to pay the price?" the answer to your question can be found in Hebrews 6:4 For in the case of those who have once been enlightened and have tasted of the heavenly gift and have been made partakers of the Holy Spirit, 6:5 and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, 6:6 and then have fallen away, it is impossible to renew them again to repentance, since they again crucify to themselves the Son of God and put Him to open shame. 10:26 For if we go on sinning willfully after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, 10:27 but a terrifying expectation of judgment and THE FURY OF A FIRE WHICH WILL CONSUME THE ADVERSARIES. 10:28 Anyone who has set aside the Law of Moses dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. 10:29 How much severer punishment do you think he will deserve who has trampled under foot the Son of God, and has regarded as unclean the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and has insulted the Spirit of grace? 10:30 For we know Him who said, "VENGEANCE IS MINE, I WILL REPAY." And again, "THE LORD WILL JUDGE HIS PEOPLE." 10:31 It is a terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the living God. 10:32 But remember the former days, when, after being enlightened, you endured a great conflict of sufferings, 10:33 partly by being made a public spectacle through reproaches and tribulations, and partly by becoming sharers with those who were so treated. 10:34 For you showed sympathy to the prisoners and accepted joyfully the seizure of your property, knowing that you have for yourselves a better possession and a lasting one. 10:35 Therefore, do not throw away your confidence, which has a great reward. 10:36 For you have need of endurance, so that when you have done the will of God, you may receive what was promised. 10:37 FOR YET IN A VERY LITTLE WHILE, HE WHO IS COMING WILL COME, AND WILL NOT DELAY. 10:38 BUT MY RIGHTEOUS ONE SHALL LIVE BY FAITH; AND IF HE SHRINKS BACK, MY SOUL HAS NO PLEASURE IN HIM. 10:39 But we are not of those who shrink back to destruction, but of those who have faith to the preserving of the soul.

274 | Jesus questioned Peter's love? | John 21:15 | New Creature | 73023 | ||
I don't claim to have the answer however, the answer may possibly be found by looking in Greek text to see which type of love Jesus was referring to, and what type of love Peter was speaking of. John 21:15-17 could be rendered as follows - v.15 Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest(agape) thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I like (phileo) thee. v.16 Simon, son of Jonas, lovest (agape) thou me? He said unto him, Yea Lord; thou knowest that I like (phileo) thee. v.17 Simon, son of Jonas, likest (phileo) thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, likest (phileo) thou me? And he said unto him, Lord thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I like (phileo)thee. If you come up with an answer let me know what you discovered Blessings New Creature |

275 | Want opinions on when rapture occure | Bible general Archive 1 | New Creature | 73009 | ||
Chusarcik While I don't claim to be an authority on this topic, I will provide you with some of my thoughts on the matter. First Scripture says: But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. Matthew 24:37 So, how was it in the days of Noah? From what I see in my Bible few were saved. Only 8 souls did not perish. So I personally believe that when the Lord returns, there again will be few souls waiting, watching, ready and prepared for His coming. I believe the church will have fallen away from the faith by the time the Lord returns. (see 2 Thess. 2:1-3) Also in Matthew 24:29-31 it tells us "immediately AFTER the tribulation" the order of the events of His second coming. But notice- it says AFTER the tribulation, not before it. Matthew 24:30 says " they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds" some will tell you this coming in the clouds is not His actual coming. I personally don't buy into that thinking. Whether he comes in the clouds or otherwise, that is still His coming, and I don't see mention of a third or fourth coming, or anywhere where my Bible mentions that His coming will be in stages as some believe. If His second coming was in stages then to me that would contradict the following verses. In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 1 Cor. 15:52 "In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump" all sounds pretty quick to me. My Present Conclusion - I don't see the pre-tribulation rapture as being scriptural. I am not firm in my position concerning the timing of the rapture, however I would be more inclined and open to mid to post trib theories. Finally Matthew 24:44 says: Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh. the command in the verse above; "be ye also ready" I believe is directed towards all believers in Christ Jesus We are to be ready, watching, waiting, expecting, and prepared at all times. One preacher once told me - "Hope for pre-trib, but be prepared for post-trib, that way you won't get caught off guard, and "Left Behind" Blessings New Creature |

276 | greastest sermon ever preached | Matthew | New Creature | 72782 | ||
Your question made me think of the following quote by an author unknown to me. "I'd rather see a sermon than hear one any day, I'd rather one should walk with me, than merely show the way. The eye's a better pupil, and more willing than the ear. Fine counsel is confusing, but example's always clear. I soon can learn to do it, if you'll let me see it done. I can see your hands in action but your tongue too fast may run. And the lectures you deliver may be very fine and true. But I'd rather get my lesson, by observing what you do. For I may misunderstand you, and the high advice you give. But theres no misunderstanding, in how you act and live" |

277 | Can a person lose salvation? | Bible general Archive 1 | New Creature | 72354 | ||
Jabiruu Below are some quotes concerning this topic from a source unknown to me. Let me know what you think of them. "Those who believe "once saved always saved" believe that one grand decision ushers them into an irrevocable state of grace that is unconditionally secure. The truth is, the moment of their decision for Christ is but the beginning." "It is not just the beginning of our spiritual journey that counts, but how we end this race of faith. Many people have gotten off to a good start, but something tripped them up along the way." "If you become severed from a relationship with Jesus Christ, it has nothing to do with God's faithfulness, but rather your own unfaithfulness." |

279 | What do the leters to 7 churches mean | Revelation | New Creature | 72252 | ||
After reading about the 7 churches in Reveltion, I have become convinced that what happened to those 7 literal churches way back then can and does happen to churches in our time. There are warnings to all churches of all times about becoming apathethic, complacent, lukewarm, spiritually dead, leaving our first love which is Christ Jesus, The following warning is mentioned 7 times "He who has an ear. let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches" this, I believe applys to all churches in all ages. They were the church. We today are the church. We need to be atuned to what the Spirit is speaking to us in our days. We need to know what the spiritual temperature of us individually, and corperately is as well. Have we become "lukewarm" Are we about to "leave our first love" Jesus says I would rather that you were either hot or cold, but because you are neither hot or cold but lukewarm, I am about to spit you out of my mouth, you have become distasteful to me. We need to take heed to the warnings of Revealation. They apply to us as well as them. |
