281 | Am I going to Hell for attending UMC | Bible general Archive 4 | EdB | 234267 | ||
Azure Normally UMC stands for the United Methodist Church, which was formed from the union the Evangelical United Brethren Church and the Methodists. EUB and Methodist have doctrine which is considered Orthodox Christian doctrine, although UMC has gone through some political infighting as people try to change those doctrines to be more Politically correct. 10 years ago they were swinging very liberal but lately I have seen them take a more conservative path. |

I'm not questioning your conclusion at this time. I'm simply asking what scripture did you use to get that opinion. In your explanation you provided exact timings or events where names are entered and removed from the two books and I can't find where this is detailed in scripture and I was interested on verses you based you conclusions |

283 | Book of Life | Bible general Archive 4 | EdB | 234282 | ||
Forget about whether our name can be blotted out or not. That is not my question. You made the statement "Upon birth a name is entered into the book of life. When one reaches the age of accountability the name is blotted from the book of life. Later when that person accepts Christ...thru repentance and baptism...the name is then entered into the ...Lambs book of life. Thus the reason for the two books. I'm simply trying to find out what scriptures you used to justify that statement. In these two chapters the book is never mentioned so how do you come to the conclusion it is the book of life? Also what is the age of accountability and where is it mentioned? Also what scripture says our name are blotted out of the book of life upon our reaching the age of accountability? Where does scripture make the distinction between the Book of Life and the Lamb Book of Life? |

G Preston Okay I will answer your question. Exodus 32-33 says your name can be blotted out of a book. The name of the book is never given nor is it known at this point. |

G Preston again I agree names can be removed from the Book of Life. But that does not answer my question where does it say when a name is entered, and where is any mention of the age of accountability. |

286 | Book of Life | Bible general Archive 4 | EdB | 234319 | ||
Let me add this Rev 22:19 mentions one book the Book of Life it does not speak of the Lambs Book of Life. As best I can find the Lambs Book of Life is mentioned one place in scripture in Rev 21:27 We don't don't know if there are two books or one referred to in two ways. |

But then we have this parable Matthew 22:1-14 and in particular verse 22:11-12. The man thought he was allowed to attend the wedding and asked why he hadn't changed his clothes he was speechless. Sounds like he thought he was saved but wasn't and didn't know it. I contend there are many many in the church today that really believe they are saved but will be cast into the outer darkness. |

288 | where does it say we have to chosen min. | Bible general Archive 4 | EdB | 234375 | ||
We don't have to be chosen by man to minister. If we want to minster within a organization or denomination we may have to meet their requirements but to minister God's word all we need is the call of God. However make very sure you have that call before you go off and do your thing | ||||||

290 | Am I going to Hell for attending UMC | Bible general Archive 4 | EdB | 234391 | ||
Azure I would say we must understand what that verse is saying and particularly the Greek word Pisteuo which is translated believe. This word means far more than head knowledge belief in Jesus Christ. It means they have become so dependant in their belief of Jesus Christ that their very lives are encompassed by Him. In other words their lives (those to whom 1 John is written) is so committed to Jesus that they don’t consider whether they are saved or not. For them it is not about being saved or not saved, it is about being in service to Christ and trusting that Christ will make all things work to their good. Here John is writing telling them that this Pisteuo belief has assured their salvation. Look at the three Hebrew Children being taken and thrown in the fire. They did not know their outcome, they only knew they were to serve God. They didn’t care if God would save them to allow them to burn, they only cared that they served God. They only knew two things, they weren’t going to worship anything other than God and that they were going to be thrown into the fire. The end of the story had not yet been written, but there was no question in their minds, there was only a total dependency on God. Today too many are dependant on whether they said the sinners prayer, walked the aisle, had fruit in their life, didn’t sin, etc. They think they are saved because that is what they have been told. However they never made themselves dependant on Jesus Christ to the point that the question was never considered because all that was important to them was serving Christ. Many will go to the wedding dinner without having the proper clothing and when asked why they will be speechless because they listened to man instead of the word of God. They have said the sinners prayer, they had walked the aisle, they had fruit in their life but they never had total dependence in Jesus Christ. Salvation should be our hope but our dependency should be in our trust of God. I believe we must be able to answer like Job, “though he slay me I will trust in God…” When we are at that point the question, “are we saved or not”, does not come into existence. |

291 | Marginal note additions? | Bible general Archive 4 | EdB | 234456 | ||
There are many reasons this may have happened. In some cases it appears that zealous scribes may have added to the text. In other cases it appears that unintentional scribal errors left out the text. The things to remember in all of scripture these occurances are rare and none of the suspected errors either additions or omissions change the basic message of the scripture. There are people, that hold to one particular translation, that suggest the additions or omissions seen in other translations do change the message of scripture but their charges are without merit, God through his Holy Spirit has preserved the Word of God. Different words might be used, a passage may be added or omitted but the message God intended to be seen is in fact there. If you stick with major translations such as KJV, NKJV, NASB, NLT, Holman and ESV any error omission or addition you will see have little effect and these translations convey the same message. |

292 | Is Santa Claus a pagan tradition? | Bible general Archive 4 | EdB | 234559 | ||
If you do a few searches you will see this subject has been debated and at times hotly debate on the forum. Santa Claus is fictional so in that light he is what you make you make him. When you speak of Santa Claus do you think of a pagan tradition or do you think of Santa Claus of the Christmas story? |

294 | To whom do we turn when we repent | Bible general Archive 4 | EdB | 234682 | ||
The fact you used the word turn says you are on the right track. Repent is to turn, to turn from sin and go in the opposite direction. When we repent we turn from our worldly sinful ways and turn toward the path set before us by our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We turn from the darkness of sin to the Light of Righteousness in Jesus Christ. Practicel application: we turn from reading pornography to reading the Bible. We turn from talking about people to talking to God in prayer. We turn from coveting more of this world to seeking more of God. |

295 | The age Mary conceived Jesus? | Bible general Archive 4 | EdB | 234695 | ||
There is no definitive answer as to how old Mary was when she was pregnant. Many estimates have her at a younger age than women are married these days, 11 to 17 being the rough estimate. Early writings like the Protoevangelium of James present her as a younger woman who had undertaken a vow of celibacy and who was marrying Joseph, an older widower, who would provide for her. |

297 | who are our guardian angels | Bible general Archive 4 | EdB | 234712 | ||
There is no mention of guardian angels in scripture. If we have Jesus in us and the Holy Spirit as a companion and teacher do we need a guardian angel? |

298 | verse about devil's insignificance | Bible general Archive 4 | EdB | 234729 | ||
not sure but I think that is a quote from a novel and is speaking about death. It is based on 1 Cor 15:54,55 | ||||||

You seemed to answer your own question. There was two of every living flesh plus Noah's family. Actually there were also animals for food, and sacrifice. |

The idea of serpent seed is totally without scriptural support. Secondly even if it was it would have ended with the flood. End of discussion |
