281 | same English word - different Greek word | 2 Tim 3:16 | Asis | 84763 | ||
Wasn't that before there was paper and dido machines? I wasn't aware there was a rule forbidding someone from quoting scripture. I is more the way we train up our young disciples these days than the schools. I think we do not showthe boldness we shouldfor Jesus. We act as if we are ashamed of the gospel. When we pray in public we mumble and try to be unobtrusive. If your gonna change things Lord start with me. | ||||||
282 | Part 1 Does God talk to you personally? | 2 Tim 3:16 | Asis | 85450 | ||
To all believers STOP If you abide in Me I will abide in you STOP For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak. STOP I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will show you things to come. He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall show it unto you. All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall show it unto you. STOP I will place my Spirit in you. STOP You will walk by the Spirit. STOP But He will not tell you the way to go. STOP? He will not tell you to turn left or right. STOP? He will be silent until I return. Stop? If you don't need to hear from Me I won't talk to you. RIGHT! Stay in touch GOD never stop I find it hard to accept that godly men and women do not seek direction for their lives by asking GOD. How did these men and women know that they are to be involved in ministry. I have yet to find the verse that says, "Gregory Koukl be a pastor and write bizarre and wierd stuff on the internet." So how did he know what to do for the LORD with his life? I don't know about you, but for me God has used other men and women, some saved and some not, He has used His word, my thoughts, and something I can only describe as an inner knowing, to direct my path. Go to Dearborn. Don't go to Ronanoke. I knew it was God. Maybe because I was looking for His direction I heard Him. I have made some incredible blunders in my life because I did not seek God for direction. I missed God. I feel for those who walk the Christian walk alone without the guidance of God, the Holy Spirit and Jesus. Maybe if we just got quiet we would hear what God is saying to us. John 5:37-38 “And the Father who sent Me, He has testified of Me. You have neither heard His voice at any time nor seen His form. “You do not have His word abiding in you, for you do not believe Him whom He sent. John 10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: [KJV] |

283 | Why are you attacking Christians? | 2 Tim 4:3 | Asis | 84520 | ||
I have read the stuff you pull off the internet and wonder, why do you only use the words of others to express yourself. This article has been posted by you before. I think some of what you read is bizarre and wierd, but I don't attack you for it. I let God handle it. I don't judge you about your closed mindedness. I pray that God will give you revelation about His word and what He is doing in these last days. I know that men will get it wrong. I've gotten it wrong and so have you. If we are after God's truth, we repent and allow our minds to be renewed. And our "theology" changes. I think when we stand before our Lord we will be amazed at what we missed but we won't care. When you have it wrong I'm going to tell you just like I expect you to tell me when I've got it wrong. Just like God tells us when we've got it wrong. With love, with gentleness, with goodness, with joy, with peace. Radioman sometimes it seems like you are the bible gestapo. Sent to crush every bit of light that doesn't conform to your interpretation or Gregory Koukl or Hank, "I know everything there is to know about the Bible," Hannagraph. What does Radioman believe. What is in your heart? Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. I really don't know what you are saying, because you say so little. A Forum is a place where people gather to hear other people's ideas, opinions, interpretations. A give and take of knowledge. A place where one can come to learn what this Christian walk is all about. I know there are some who come with agendas and they should be exposed. My beginnings were in the Quaker church. One of the faith and practices was that everyone has light. If you show your light it will expose the darkness. When your light shines, when the light of Jesus is on your face, the darkness will dissapate and the truth will remain. The theology that is wierd and bizarre cannot stand up against the truth. We have the mind of Christ we must use it to touch the hearts of those who earnestly seek the Lord. Is the tone of your posts the same as the tone Jesus uses when He is dealing with the religious leaders of His day. The ones who had it wrong. The ones whose theology was wierd and bizarre. He used strong language but always loved the man. I love you radioman and I hope you will take this in the manner in which it was written. Express what God has put in your heart. Let it overflow with the love that Jesus has placed there. Isaiah 43:18-21 Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. [19] Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert. [20] The beast of the field shall honour me, the dragons and the owls: because I give waters in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen. [21] This people have I formed for myself; they shall shew forth my praise. [KJV] Your brother in Christ Jeff |

You missed the most important verse. The one I should have read before I submitted my note. As Hank rightly points out I judged you as closed minded. That was an error. Romans 2:1 should have been my guide. I should have known better. I am, after all, still having my mind renewed. There I was complaining about the speck in your eye without removing the plank from mine. Therefore I ask your forgiveness for calling you closed minded. | ||||||

Does this help? Title: Barnes’ Notes on the New Testament Author: Barnes, Albert TITUS 2:3 The aged women likewise—Not only those who may have the office of deaconesses, but all aged females. That they be in behaviour as becometh holiness—Marg, “holy women.” The Greek word is not found elsewhere in the New Testament. It means appropriate to a sacred place or person, or becoming to religion. Their conduct should be such as the gospel requires. Not false accusers——Margin, “make-bates.” Greek, —the word commonly applied to the devil—“as the accuser.” See it explained in the notes at 1 Tim. 3:11, where it is rendered slanderers. Not given to much wine—Notes, 1 Tim. 3. Teachers of good things—That is instructing the younger—whether their own children, or whether they sustain the office of deaconness, and are appointed to give instruction to younger females; compare the notes at 1 Tim. 5:2-6. Title: Barnes’ Notes on the New Testament Author: Barnes, Albert Not slanderers—compare Titus 2:3, “Not false accusers.” The Greek word is —“devils.” It is used here in its original and proper sense, to denote a “calumniator,” “slanderer,” or “accuser.” It occurs in the same sense in 2 Tim. 3:3, and Titus 2:3. Elsewhere in the New Testament, it is uniformly rendered “devil” (compare notes, Matt. 4:1), and is given to Satan, the prince of the fallen angels Matt. 9:34, by way of eminence, as “the accuser;” compare Job 1:6-11 notes, and Rev. 12:10 note. Here it means that they should not be women who were in the habit of calumniating others, or aspersing their character. Mingling as they would with the church, and having an opportunity to claim acquaintance with many, it would be in their power, if they chose, to do great injury to the character of others. Title: Barnes’ Notes on the New Testament Author: Barnes, Albert 1 TIMOTHY 5:2 The elder women as mothers—Showing still the same respect for age, and for the proprieties of life. No son who had proper feelings would rebuke his own mother with severity. Let the minister of religion evince the same feelings if he is called to address a “mother in Israel” who has erred. The younger as sisters—With the feelings which you have toward a sister. The tender love which one has for a beloved sister would always keep him from using harsh and severe language. The same mildness, gentleness, and affection should be used toward a sister in the church. With all purity—Nothing could be more characteristic of Paul’s manner than this injunction; nothing could show a deeper acquaintance with human nature. He knew the danger which would beset a youthful minister of the gospel when it was his duty to admonish and entreat a youthful female; he knew, too, the scandal to which he might be exposed if, in the performance of the necessary duties of his office, there should be the slightest departure from purity and propriety. He was therefore to guard his heart with more than common vigilance in such circumstances, and was to indulge in no word, or look, or action, which could by any possibility be construed as manifesting an improper state of feeling. On nothing else do the fair character and usefulness of a youthful minister more depend, than on the observance of this precept. Nowhere else does he more need the grace of the Lord Jesus, and the exercise of prudence, and the manifestation of incorruptible integrity, than in the performance of this duty. A youthful minister who fails here, can never recover the perfect purity of an unsullied reputation, and never in subsequent life be wholly free from suspicion; compare notes, Matt. 5:28. This may help as a start. |

287 | advice | Hebrews | Asis | 102084 | ||
Speaking as a Messianic Jew I do believe Christians who were gentiles are misssing a certain perspective. Paul says in Romans 2:29 that is is not the physical circumcision that makes one a Jew but a circumcision of the heart that makes one a Jew. We must remember that the Bible was written by Jews and comes from that perspective. The first church was a Jewish church. It is hard to put into words but there is a Jewishness to Christianity that is missing. I know this will raise more questions than it answers but I hopethis helps Asis |

290 | Asis, Where are we told don't follow OT? | Hebrews | Asis | 102193 | ||
The post referenced was in reply to why don't present day believers follow the feasts of the the Jews. Take the answer in context please. These are just a few of the commands given to the children of Israel By God Almighty. Numbers 9:2 Let the children of Israel also keep the passover at his appointed season. [KJV] Numbers 29:12 And on the fifteenth day of the seventh month ye shall have an holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work, and ye shall keep a feast unto the Lord seven days: [KJV] Deut. 4:2 Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you. [KJV] Deut. 4:6 Keep therefore and do them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the nations, which shall hear all these statutes, and say, Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people. [KJV] Deut. 5:1 And Moses called all Israel, and said unto them, Hear, O Israel, the statutes and judgments which I speak in your ears this day, that ye may learn them, and keep, and do them. [KJV] Deut. 7:8-9 But because the Lord loved you, and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn unto your fathers, hath the Lord brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondmen, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt. [9] Know therefore that the Lord thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations; [KJV] Deut. 7:11-12 Thou shalt therefore keep the commandments, and the statutes, and the judgments, which I command thee this day, to do them. [12] Wherefore it shall come to pass, if ye hearken to these judgments, and keep, and do them, that the Lord thy God shall keep unto thee the covenant and the mercy which he sware unto thy fathers: [KJV] Deut. 16:1 Observe the month of Abib, and keep the passover unto the Lord thy God: for in the month of Abib the Lord thy God brought thee forth out of Egypt by night. [KJV] Deut. 16:10 And thou shalt keep the feast of weeks unto the Lord thy God with a tribute of a freewill offering of thine hand, which thou shalt give unto the Lord thy God, according as the Lord thy God hath blessed thee: [KJV] Deut. 16:15 Seven days shalt thou keep a solemn feast unto the Lord thy God in the place which the Lord shall choose: because the Lord thy God shall bless thee in all thine increase, and in all the works of thine hands, therefore thou shalt surely rejoice. [KJV] Deut. 17:19 And it shall be with him, and he shall read therein all the days of his life: that he may learn to fear the Lord his God, to keep all the words of this law and these statutes, to do them: [KJV] They are a part of the Law, the Old Testament. To observe the feasts of the OLD TESTAMENT is for the Jew, Not the NEW TESTAMENT believer. If this were not so then ALL beleivers of Jesus must be circumcised and follow the Law as stated in the Old Testament. Messianic Jews are still called to celebrate the feasts of the Old Testament. They are Jews. Was Paul wrong to write letters to the churches warning against the judeizers? Are you a judeizer? God won't stop you from observing all the Jewish Holidays but you don't have to to be saved. |

291 | Asis, Where are we told don't follow OT? | Hebrews | Asis | 102445 | ||
Once again I want you to know that the comment was made in reference to following the Law of the Pentatuech (spelling may be wrong) regarding Holy festivals. What was decided was that "gentiles" did not have to become Jews to be Christians. However if you feel that it is necessary to be Jewish to be saved. Then be my guest and convert to Judeaism. Remember what Jesus taught about causing one of His to stumble. |

292 | Have we chosen freely? | James 2:19 | Asis | 87013 | ||
If you are going to come to my house and I know it before you show up does it mean that you are not coming to my house of your own free will? It is the same with God. Our election is sure. You didn't choose me I chose you. We, of our own free will, have offered our name up in nomination for the office of believer. God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit had a vote and chose you. You became the elect of God. Since it is God's desire that all come to Him, those that offer themselves to Him receive yes votes. It is still my choice that I offer myself up to Him. Many are called but few are chosen. Just one way to think about it. ASIS |
||||||
293 | Have we chosen freely? | James 2:19 | Asis | 87030 | ||
No. You come to my house because you have heard about what is happening there and you want to partake. You have chosen to come all by yourself. Just because I know your coming does not nulify your free choice to come. This is the answer to what you wrote "Does God's already knowing our choice mean we haven't freely chosen?" In my analogy I already know the choice you have made yet YOU still made the choice of your own free will. SEE? The other is about election and chosen. Which is used in connection with predestination. Ask yourself this "Would God go through all this if it was already set what would happen. I mean in the individual sense. |

294 | Do we have to sin? | James 3:2 | Asis | 107752 | ||
Greeting Baldwin This is a quote from "Bone of His bone," by F.J. Huegel. 'We have been proceeding upon a false basis. We have conceived of the Christian life as and imitation of Christ. It is not an imitation of Christ. It is a participation of Christ.' It is not up to us to behave as Christ. It is up to us to let Christ live his life through us. "Not I who live but Christ in me." We spend to much time trying to understand God and not enough time submiting to God. Living the way He wants us. Some would want us to believe that the 'old nature' is still within us. They want us to believe that we now are a dual personality, the 'old nature' and the "new nature" side by side. Scripture clearly says that the old nature was crucified with Christ (Romans 6.6), that we have been made new and the new things are from God (2 Corinthians 5.17-18). So considering all that God has done for us to not be slaves to sin it seems to me that there are times when we do not sin. Is this not what God's word says. The only time I sin (and I can't explain why I do this) is when I choose to sin. As a believer I am free from the power of sin because I have been crucified with Christ and am a dead man (Gal 2.20; 5.24; 6.14). Therefore all that besets me is but a temptation, which I can either choose God (No temptation will come upon you that is greater than you can handle, my paraphrase) or I can choose sin. The choice is ours the power not to sin is God's. I pray we all choose Him over sin everytime. By the way, what is sin? Asis |

295 | Jake's Expository Notes | 2 Pet 1:2 | Asis | 95950 | ||
Jake I have wondered that since Peter was an uneducated man and the apostle to the Jews whether he wrote his letter in Greek or in Hebrew or Aramaic. If in the latter then we are reading a transation of a translation. So then is anything lost or tilted. Peace in Hebrew is Shalom, shaw-lome; from ther Hebrew 7999 (shalam); safe, i.e. (figurative) well, happy, friendly; also (abstract) welfare, i.e. health, prosperity, peace:- do, familiar, fare, favour, friend, great, (good) health, (perfect, such as be at) peace (-able, -ably), prosper (-ity, -ous), rest, safe (ty), saute, welfare, (all is, be) well, wholly. Just wondering |

296 | Do what He did | 1 John 2:3 | Asis | 216869 | ||
What does it mean, "if we keep His commandments"? | ||||||
297 | Walk as He walked | 1 John 2:3 | Asis | 216872 | ||
Is it really that simple? What about 1 John 2:6. It seems John is saying that if we abide in Him then we will/should walk as He walked. Isn't the walk of Jesus walking in all the commands of God? Isn't Jesus God's commands in the flesh? | ||||||
298 | abide | 1 John 2:3 | Asis | 216885 | ||
To abide means to stay or remain. So to abide in Christ is to remain or stay in Him. The next logical question would be how do we get "in Him". We get in Him 1 Corinthians 1:30 (Weymouth NT) But you — and it is all God’s doing — are in Christ Jesus: He has become for us a wisdom which is from God, consisting of righteousness and sanctification and deliverance; If I have this right then God is the one who placed me in Christ and if I remain or stay in Him (by choice) I should walk as He walked. According to the Gospels He walked uprightly following the LORD's commands all His commands. Neither turning to the right or the left. It seems to me that this is how we should walk to walk as He walked. Does that make any sense? |
||||||
299 | All you need is love? | 1 John 2:3 | Asis | 216888 | ||
I was busy also. I hope everything is all right. So I don't have to follow all the commands God gave in the Old Testament? I don't have to tithe praise God. If there was a phrase that could sum up all the commands of the United States, like the first is, "Don't hurt any body" and the second is, "Live free". Would that negate all the laws on the books? | ||||||
300 | abide | 1 John 2:3 | Asis | 216905 | ||
John I thank you for your words they contain much truth. The thing I am wondering about is this. Jesus is the word made flesh. The word that was made flesh was what we call the Old Testament. So if Jesus is that word made flesh and he annulled part of the old then He annulled part of Himself. When a thing is fulfilled it is not done away with it is complete or perfected. The law or more appropriately the Torah was never meant to save but is God's instruction for living. I have heard many a preacher call the Bible "God's instruction manual." Are some of the instructions to be followed and others not? Galatians is and instruction to those people that they do not have to follow the rabbinical law to be saved. Circumcision of the flesh does not save. Salvation is only obtained through faith in Jesus. His substitution on the cross gives us the gift of God. We are free. Free to follow God's instructions because we want to not because we have to. Not a jot or tittle will pass away, so how can we follow some but not others. Is there really two covenants. I am not sure. God made a covenant with Noah and we didn't start a new book, He made a covenant with Abraham and we didn't start a new book, He made a covenant with David and we didn't start a new book. But when He restores His covenant through the work of Jesus and the giving of the Holy Spirit to give us the ability to follow His instructions, now we make a new book and say that the part of the old book is annulled. I have to believe that God wants us to follow all His instructions. All the sacrifices have been substituted by the awesome sacrifice of Jesus. Once and for all. I want to understand how God wants us to worship him in truth. His word is the truth and that word is all the Bible both books, it seems to me. I am just a man living for God, following Jesus, loving and being loved. Jeff |
