261 | Can you continue to sin an go to heaven? | Bible general Archive 4 | justme | 236510 | ||
I am not sure I agree with your answere of "no". I have in my past helped in rescue mission's, preaching and counseling with those who were hooked on alcohol and drugs, and sexual addictions, I never saw one just suddenly stop. They do have relapses and there are genuine hearts of repentance. Physically addiction's are very difficult to brake. How do we explain 1 John 1:8,9,10 "If we say we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say we have not sinned, we make Him a liar and His Word is not in us." We all have the sin of omission, and comission. I am a sinner! I do not believe anyone is without sin until we are with the LORD. To say we can not sin after surrendering to Jesus Christ changes salvation to that of "works" not "Grace" In 1 Corinthians 5:1-13 Paul is dealing with immorality in the church of a man. In 2 Corinthians 2: 1-10 Then Pauls to forgive and to allow his return to the Body after his repentance. Finally 1John 2:1 "My little children, I am writting these things to you so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteousness." Look over these verses, pray about it and read more in His Word about it and let's dialogue later, Blessings. justme |

CDBJ: Jeses died about over 2000 years ago, so does not that make to Bible older than 1500 years ago. It is my understanding the cannon was complets about 375. The Old Testament the part Moses wrote is much older. Perhaps I am wrong? Blessings. justme |

263 | Why did God allow Polygamy? | Gen 2:21 | justme | 236036 | ||
Fmp: Glad you took the time to respond. As I write this we have snow falling with thunder and lightening. We love this show it;s so awesome and powerful. We need the rain and snow so badly. So many crops were lost last year. God has blessed us, thank the Lord. The lady with cancer is or was in the hands of the Lord. I did my part as instructed in Scripture. However, if there was no hope of heaven for her, unless she was immersed in baptism, should I have said that there was no hope at all for her? Mark 10:26-27 "They were even more astonished and said to Him "Then who can be saved?". 27. "Looking at them Jesus said, "With people it is impossible, but not with God; for all things are possible with God." NASB No one an be saved on their own efforts, only by the Grace of God cab anyone be saved. As I understand Scripture that even our faith needed to respond and submit to the Holy Spirit's plea for us to surrender and become a follower of Jesus Christ is all a gift of the Holy Father. I would say if a person does not "follow" Jesus and His commands then that person is not a christian. For instance, if a person says they are a christian, but hates church, then not only is he not following Jesus, he contradicts Scripture. Hebrews 10:25 In sich a case I would think this person had a false faith. Falling form Grace and loosing one's salvation id where we see things differently. I am a Once saved, a born again, geuine christian is secure in in the salvation of Jesus Christ saving ability and guarantee that we are His. John 10:28-29. Just as you are able to use Scripture to show how you arrive at a person Lost position in Christ, and there is merit with that. I also can show from Scripture once genuinely saved you are secure. So because we both are christians there is no reason to disfellowship one another. There are some area's that Ther is no room to compomise. Praying to any other than person than the Father, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit in not Christian. Praying to a Saint or the mother of Jesus is unscriptural. This is an area I can not agree to disagree. How are we tracking up to this point? Blessings justme |

fpm: Thanks for your kind response. I know our Doctrine is not what we have made up ourself. Yes I believe I have that down pat. I respect your position on baptism, and debating is not braking any thing I am aware of, especially if genuine christian brotherly or sisterely love, kindness, and respect are used in the debate. But honestly not all Baptist are of a Faith only Doctrine, as I am concerned. So I think my intention is not to disfellowship or belittle someone when we don't agree, in that case I believe Jesus said all there cam be said with wisdom we need to keep in the front of our soul. John 14:35 "By this all men will know you are My disciples, if you have love for one another." NASB In all honesty when a so self poclaimed "christian" refuses to follow the Lord Jesus Christ in baptism there is a serious error. When we surrender to Jesus Christ and call of the Holy Spirit, there are expectations. No one can follow unless they stay in line and FOLLOW. In this case with baptism as Jesus Christ clearly demonstrated for us as an example to FOLLOW HIM. When someone refuses to be baptized that's not following in any way shape or form. I fully believe immersion to be the Biblical way to baptize. I say this even having sprinkled a woman dying of cancer who was unable to move for death was quite near. I have mixed feelings in explaining this, and I have to leave this in the hands of the Lord. When I hear an alter call with the preacher asking those who raised their hand to just repeat after them the sinners prayer, I am very concerned that this is a false way to allow people to think that's all there is to "getting saved". As you say in your doctrine statement, repentance is a requirement not an option. yet seldome do I hear that mentioned in alter calls. Most assuredly without confession, that is denial. Baptism can be one way of confession. Obedience is one area that is not just for the time we surrender to Christ. For me it is being constantly aware that obedience is sometimes satans trap when we deal with situations where emotions can be high and trying to help is not the way the Lord wants me to be. Endurance is sometimes a way of saying that genuinely saved persons could loose their security of the holding power of Christ. John 10:27-29. I have read "that faith that falters, had a flaw from the first". For me I would say the key word is "genuine". I do not believe a "genuine authentic" "born again" "saved" person can or will fall from grace. I do believe it is possible for a believer to "backslide". In the Old Testament such an example would be King David. There are several things about David and his realationship with YAHWEH I do not understand. If God could say David was a man after Gods heart, I struggle to fully grasp such forgiveness and loving kindness that God has. I think there is plenty of room to dialogue, disagree, and learn from one another in the Study Bible Foum. Blessings. justme |

Fmp: I read your profile, with a unexpected great list of your Doctrine. That is not usual for being on the SBF less than one month, thank you. Congratulations on being a great grandpa. That's something that aging allows us to see how our family tree grows. I am sure you have thought about this and have an answer, but just for the sake of my knowing how your Doctrin handles a specific issue. No arguement is intended this is just for me to think about. You say Baptism is required for the remission of sins. Unless I don't understand you correctly, Baptism is required to be "saved". Have I got that right? Would there be exceptions to this requriement? For example, a person dying of cancer in a hospital. A pastor visits the person and they talk several different times. After some deep talks about Jesus Christ and her need for Jesus Christ, she repents prays and surrenders to Christ Jesus. Due to her very serious condition, near death, she wants to be baptized. There is no way to baptize her. was she saved? Just to give you the "rest of the story". I told her I would do a symbolic baptism and sprinkled her. She was so instant on wanting to be baptized, and there was no way to take her anywhere, so I sprinkled her. Being a Baptist this is not accepted, so I did what I could. Then the final question there are those like the thief on the cross, that because of their last few moments surrendering to Christ, no time was there to baptized the person. Such places like war, accidents that take a person to the ER and there is no hope and confession is almost the very last thing they do. How does all this fit into your doctrine. Be assured no matter if I do not agree I will respect your doctrine and treat you like the Brother in Christ that you are. justme |

267 | Worship after church? | Not Specified | justme | 235816 | ||
Many christains like me, do not worship on the sabbath. My question is how should we worship on Sunday? Should we not do many of thethings Sabbath worshipers do. Often christians go to movies, golfing, shopping, or anything they like. How much of what keeping the Sabbath regulations should we carry over, if any at all. I kwon we are not under the LAW, but under the Grace of the LORD. Somehow tis seems very odd that people go to church and maybe Sunday School and after church is out they do anything. This has really brought me to question how we worship GOD. Thanks justme |

269 | Do you go to heaven right when you die | NT general | justme | 235566 | ||
Paul said to be absent from the body is to be present with the LORD. But here is a point to consider. It makes no difference, when Christians die they are in the hands of the LORD. I doubt very much we sleep in the grave. I have some fellow believers that will fight all day that we will sleep until Jesus comes. I finally got tired of hearing them repeat their theory, so I said what difference does it make. We are going to be where Jesus wants us to be. Check out Hebrews 9:27. Blessings. justme |

270 | Is this ok? | 1 Tim 3:1 | justme | 235027 | ||
Doc: My wife and I watch and support Precepts For Life. I have seen men in Kay Arthur's classes she teaches. Would it be more in line with what Scripture teaches for Kay to restrict her teachings to women only? Then there are her tours to the Holy Land. Is the fact that men attend these trips too. Not very often have I found a teacher that is able to communicate to such wide scope of men and women. I am not sure if Kay speakes in churches on Sunday's as a guest in the pulpit. But if she did would that be unbiblical? Now that David Arthur is at the helm, this may open some doors that were closed before. Kay's teaching is on parr with Bible College teaching. However Seminary took Scripturs to a much deeper level where sentence structure was broken down so deeply at times I found it difficult to follow how some translations came up with the word order that was in there translation. The translation I found the hardest to understand was the 1985 NIV. May I add a word of praise to THE LOCKMAN FOUNDATION and for Dewey Lockman For following the direction of Holy Spirit in making (as far as I am concerned) the most accurate English translation there is today. We are so blessed. Well I might as well thank our special host for this Syudy Bible Forum. "The one who is taught the Word is to share all good things with the one who teaches him." The Holy Spirit teaches me when I read the Bible, that's how I see it anyway. At this time of year I am reminded how wonderful our LORD is. We have the BIBLE which i Love so very much, The Holy Spirit to help instruct us, and the Lord Jesys Christ whom we owe our very breath we breathe, The Blood Jeses shead in our place for my and yiur sine, and because He loves us so much he has a place waiting for us. I cab just barely take it all in. I can say nothing more but to add with the deepest Love.... PRAISE THE lORD. justme |

277 | Am I going to Hell for attending UMC | Bible general Archive 4 | justme | 234408 | ||
G. Preston. The Book you called "Revelations" is spelled Revelation, no "s". This is a mistake that is sometimes enough to fail a New Testament class in Bible College. My alerting you is not meant in a negative way. The opposite thing happens with the Book of Psalms, people sometimes forget there needs to be an "s" at the end. By the way after a good amount of time I am still studying the word "book of Life". I never thought it would be so interesting. Hopefully within this month I will have an answer. justme |

279 | is barack obama the antichrist? | 1 John 2:18 | justme | 234384 | ||
Terrasahaar: Welcome to the Study Bible Forum. Some noteworthy christians have stated that President Obama, by his testimony, have convinced them President Obama is a christian. The Bible Answer Man being one that states this. There are some that are just as convinced that President Obama has Muslim beliefs. I think that the better way of responding to either side, is a Biblical response. God has placed, permitted, allowed Mr. Obama to be President of the United States. As is my christian responsibility I will pray for him. When President Obama does something that is not in line with what Scripture teaches I will email the White House and join in other groups that oppose his actions. When President Obama does something good I can praise him as well. President Obama is unlikely the anti christ Scripture speaks of. However anyone who is not a christian is in reality a anti christ. We should be very careful in so freely making such harmful remarks against President Obama. I have been very outspoken against President Obama, when he has made supportive efforts for homosexuality in the Military, and same sex marriage. Just to name a few issues. In the Old Testament Calamity is mentioned about 75 times. Most of the times calamity is mentioned in Jeremiah. Many times the Lord has said He brings on calamity for punishment, and this can mean death to large numbers of people and even complete Nations. I personally believe the United States is under the Judgement of the Lord. Just look at the "calamities" our nation has undergone in recent times and years. I have not noticed repentance in our nation. Perhaps theLord is trying to get our attention. Perhaps Good has allowed our leaders to be a messenger of warning calamity. Blessings. justme |

G. Preston: The thread can only be progressive when you use Scripture NOT common sense. Along with Scripture don'y insult others that believe in OSAS. I believ I have been on this forum a little longer than you, and we can expand sub threads anytime it fits, infact it seems you do it often, and I guess you did not see it. justme |
