281 | Lifting up of hands? | Ps 63:4 | retxar | 14342 | ||
Is the position of the body what God looks at when we worship Him? Does God dis-qualify our prayers if we don't close our eyes? Does God turn away if we pray and are not in a kneeling position? If we only lift one hand and not holy hands is our praise rejected? If one is physically handicapped are they just out of luck and can neither praise or worship? Will those who worship the anti-christ be able to get off the hook on a technicality? I don't think so. | ||||||

283 | Answer the Question | OT general | retxar | 14271 | ||
First, let me say, Jesus has only one church (Eph 3:21), but man has many denominations. I have already answered the definition of salvation with Eph 2:8-9 from the Word. To satisfy your request, below is a quote from my fellowship’s statement of faith. I belong to a Calvary Chapel fellowship that is not a denominational church, as such, but rather a fellowship of believers in the Lordship of Jesus Christ (Chuck Smith). “We believe that all people are by nature separated from God and responsible for their own sin, but that salvation, redemption, and forgiveness are freely offered to all by the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. When a person repents of sin and accepts Jesus Christ as personal Savior and Lord, trusting Him to save, that person is immediately born again and sealed by the Holy Spirit, all his/her sins are forgiven, and that person becomes a child of God, destined to spend eternity with the Lord.” God bless you in your study. |

284 | Answer the Question | OT general | retxar | 14256 | ||
Forgive me for being a jokester. I did not mean to offend. You know what is really sad? We would rather know how man defines salvation rather than God. For by grace are ye saved thru faith, not of yourself, it is the gift of God, not of works, least any man should boast. As far as leading someone down the wrong path if they are looking for Jesus; I think the 1st step down that wrong path would be presenting Him according to what our denomination tells us to say, instead of the WORD. In Christ Jesus. retxar |

285 | who did cain marry? | Gen 1:1 | retxar | 14218 | ||
It has come time to put this matter to rest. The WORD is clear, let's read it for together folks. Gen 4:17 And Cain knew his wife, and she conceived and bore Enoch. And he built a city, and called the name of the city after the name of his son; Enoch. Gen 4:18 To Enoch was born Irad; and Irad begot Mehujael, and Mehujael begot Methushael, and Methushael begot Lamech. Gen 4:19 Then Lamech took for himself two wives: the name of one was Adah, and the name of the second was Zillah. Gen 4:20 And Adah bore Jabal. He was the father of those who dwell in tents and have livestock. Gen 4:21 His brother's name was Jubal. He was the father of all those who play the harp and flute. Therefore, Cain married the flute and harp player's cousin's father's mother's husband's father's mother. Why have we never seen this before? God bless bro, retxar |

286 | book of barabus | Bible general Archive 1 | retxar | 14216 | ||
I think what your Muslim "friend" is trying to push is the GOSPEL of Barnabas, rather than the EPISTLE of Barnabas. The Gospel of Barnabas is a Muslim forgery from the Middle ages, rather than the early Christian writing of the Epistle of Barnabas. The Gospel of Barnabas denies the Deity of Jesus and has verses of Jesus prophesying the coming of Mohamad. It also has Abraham offering Ishmael on the alter instead of Isaac. The Epistle of Barnabas contains 21 chapters while the GOB has several hundred. God Bless, retxar |

288 | Are those He called always chosen? | Rom 8:30 | retxar | 14210 | ||
I, as you, believe neither one will convince the other of their viewpoint. However, their are many who have gained much insight by this debate. The points you say are being hashed and rehashed are NOT the standard points of Calvinism and Arminianism. The standard points of each are usually presented in a hostile self-serving way. That is not what is going on here. As long as the debate continues with a healthy Christian attitude, there is nothing wrong with it. I think it is a good witness of the love of Jesus when 2 brothers can disagree on a hot issue and each present there case in a non-selfserving Christian manner. In Christ Jesus |

291 | Question on spiritual covering? | Bible general Archive 1 | retxar | 12185 | ||
The JW's are the ones that have cast off Jesus. The JW's are the ones that cast off Jesus when they insist their "order's from headquarters" are their spiritual guide, instead of the Holy Spirit. The JW’s are the ones that cast off Jesus when they say their organization is the messiah , instead of Jesus. The JW’s believe in “A JESUS”. The JW’s preach “A GOSPEL”. They don’t believe Jesus is Lord. They don’t preach the Gospel in the Word. Gal_1:7-9 says to let them be accursed. That, does not have to be you, Elijah. From most of your post, you seem to be a little dazed and confused. You can never backup ANY of your wild claims and accusations with any scriptural support. How come? Could it be because they are basing them on perverted JW teaching and not the Word? Get out of that mess, man! Here is something for you to ponder. You can ask any of your JW friends if they can help you, if you like. The JW’s denounce the deity of Jesus by saying He is Michael the archangel, right? Heb_1:4 refutes that Jesus is an angel by saying Jesus is “so much better than the angels.” Heb_1:4 refutes that Jesus is an angel by saying “He has by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they”. Heb_1:5 refutes that Jesus is an angel by saying “which of the angels did He ever say: "You are My Son”. Heb_1:6 refutes that Jesus is an angel by saying "Let all the angels of God worship Him." Heb_1:8 refutes that Jesus is an angel when God the Father says to God the Son "Your throne, O God, is forever and ever.” Heb_1:9 refutes that Jesus is an angel when God the Father says to God the Son “Therefore God, Your God, has anointed You With the oil of gladness more than Your companions." Heb_1:10 refutes that Jesus is an angel when God the Father says to God the Son "You, LORD, in the beginning laid the foundation of the earth, And the heavens are the work of Your hands.” Heb_1:11-12 refutes that Jesus is an angel by speaking of Jesus as being self-existent, while angels are not. Heb_1:13 refutes that Jesus is an angel when it says Jesus is sitting on God’s throne. Angels can only stand before the throne. Heb_1:14 says angels can only “minister to those who will inherit salvation” but Rev_7:10 says “salvation belongs to our God.” Lets read Rev_7:9-11. Rev_7:9 After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could number, of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, with palm branches in their hands, Rev_7:10 and crying out with a loud voice, saying, "Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!" Rev_7:11 All the angels stood around the throne and the elders and the four living creatures, and fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, Where were ALL the angels? They were standing around the throne, then they fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God! Where was God? Sitting on the throne! Where was Jesus? Sitting on the throne! Is Jesus an angel? NO! Is Jesus being worshiped? YES! Is Jesus God? YES! I don’t know what your NWT says in the verses I have referenced here, because I can’t get one! Could JW’s fear that enlightened believers would expose the works of darkness if the NWT was available to any and all? I would give my Bible to anyone who wants one. A true disciple of Christ is to spread the Word, not conceal it! I am sure the NWT tries to stifle the deity of Jesus here. However, I know God is smarter than man, and am willing to bet He snuck enough truth in there for you to see Him and believe. I will end with this. Please seriously examine all I and others have shown you. DON’T BRUSH IT OFF. Please give earnest heed to the things you have heard (Heb_2:1). How can you escape if you neglect so great a salvation (Heb_2:3). Jesus is Lord ! retxar |

292 | Is the KJV "Supreme"? | Ps 12:6 | retxar | 12120 | ||
No offense taken at all. I was just concerned that your original Bible preference question, somehow, got turned into an attack on KJV only-ism, with biblestudy.org being the offender. I just hated to see them being thrown into the KJV-only pile when, from what I saw anyway, was not true. Thanks bro, retxar |

293 | Is the KJV "Supreme"? | Ps 12:6 | retxar | 11982 | ||
Please know the difference between “KJV only” and those that believe the UNDERLINING TEXT of the KJV (also NKJV, MKJV, and LITV) is closer to the original than some other modern translations. God only wrote one Bible and there are places that are different where we must chose which text is correct (examples: John 7:8, John 8:1-11, Romans 8:1, Acts 8:37, etc.). I would certainly take offense at being called “KJV only” if I chose to go with the KJV on these verses instead of the NASB or NIV. I went to the biblestudy.org web site. I was only there a few minutes and admit I don’t know a lot about them. However, it does not take long for one to know they are far, far, far from being KJV only. They even spoke of those that have the usual KJV only attitude as having a “bigoted fundamentalist” character. The link Nolan supplied is even called “KJV errors”. This would never meet AV1611 standards as “KJV only” by any stretch of the imagination. I’m not saying what you said is wrong, I am only saying it paints a picture of biblestudy.org that is simply not true. Nolan originally asked about biblestudy.org’s statement about one using the KJV as their 'primary' Bible and the use of other translations as a good follow up. I personally believe that biblestudy.org is not giving bad advice here (tho I prefer the NKJV). I have given reasons elsewhere of why I would say this. Almost everyone here would have an answer if someone asked them to recommend a Bible version as their ‘primary’ Bible. Many would say “NASB” because they believe it to be an accurate translation that sticks close to the original underling text, with the emphasis on accurate translation, not interpretation. They might also recommend the use of other translations as a good follow up to the NASB. Would that make them “NASB only”? No way! If someone makes the same recommendation for the KJV, based on the same reasoning, that should not make them “KJV only” either, should it? I have spoke out against KJV only-ism many, many times. I have had KJV only folks slam their Bibles shut in disgust, as a sign of protest against me when they realized I was not reading from the KJV. In response to a KJV question, I once said, “We are to worship the King, I’m glad my King’s name is Jesus, not James!” I understand the difference between what I believe and what the KJV only folks teach. I don’t like it when people confuse the two. I have read the book “The King James Only Controversy” by James White several times, so I also understand and respect that side of the coin. I, as others (maybe even biblestudy.org?), do not like being caught in the cross fire, as we are so many times. Please believe me, I have no problem with anyone speaking out against KJV only-ism. Just make sure the toes being stepped on are the ones that need to be stomped. In Christ Jesus, retxar |

I put the scripture ref in to let the Word speak for itself. I made no comment either way. You chose whether to receive or discard. You choose to examine the scripture and decide whether it was upholding your beliefs or tearing them down. You opened this discussion up with what now seems to have been a baited question. Where you really asking a question or was your intent to promote a pet doctrine? The later seems the case. If you have something to add to this discussion that has not already been said at least 3 times, we would all love to hear about it. | ||||||

If you notice I only supplied a verse, not commentary. I did not state my position. This speaks well of the power of the Word alone. You are not discarding anything I said, only the Word itself. Please re-examine your motives. In Christ Jesus, retxar |

I understand and respect how you feel about this. I had already looked over the thread, and was not asking for anything to be repeated. I did not see the Acts 1:5 and Acts 2:4 issue I brought up addressed. I may have missed something tho, so I will look back over. Thanks bro, Jesus Lives! |

Jesus said in Acts 1:5 "for John truly baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now." Was Jesus's words here not fulfilled in Acts 2:4 which says "And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance?" Notice Jesus said "baptized with the Holy Spirit" but the actual occurrence was called "filled with the Holy Spirit." How can someone really be that far off base by saying exactly what Jesus said? How can one be that wrong if they call “baptized with the Holy Spirit” and “filled the Holy Spirit” the same thing? Are they not only repeating what Jesus said? I have posted this before and no one can seem to answer that. I am in agreement that all who are born again receive the Holy Spirit as the disciples did in John 20:22. At salvation we are “baptized” into the body of Christ as in 1Cor 12:13, but to me that is not the same as what happened to the disciples in Acts 2:4, the Samaritans in Acts 8:17, Paul in Acts 9:17, or the disciples at Ephesus in Acts 19:6. As I have said before, I can say “filled” with the Holy Spirit instead of “baptized” with the Holy Spirit till Jesus returns, but when someone says “baptized with the Holy Spirit”, I can’t help but think of it as Jesus spoke of it in Acts 1:5 and was fulfilled in Acts 2:4. Please consider, in Christ Jesus, retxar |
