If you consider the the commentaries of man more valuable than than the word of God, and it is your desire to "throw IT out", then so be it. As well, if you consider the Holy Bible "pious conceited thinking," then all I can say is "Lord help!" Some Commentaries are good. But they are JUST THAT, commentaries. The comments of mortal man. Nowhere will you read in the word that any commentary is, as is the word of God. 2Ti 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: It sounds as though, either you simply do not understand what I have said, or you simply don't agree and are trying to change the meaning thereof.

I have provided the scriptural references. They are adequate to answer the question you posted. Understanding, or acceptance, I can not provide. If you will read and (study) more of what Paul has to say on the subject, you will understand what I have been saying. Try reading or (studying) the book of Romans, particularily the 10th chapter. I will provide one final scripture concerning this subject. Anything more would be a waste of yours and my time. KJV 2Ti 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. May God open your eyes and those of all who diligently seek His word but, seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear. God Bless George |

Pro 12:15 The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that hearkeneth unto counsel is wise. KJV Pro 13:16 Every prudent man dealeth with knowledge: but a fool layeth open his folly. Pro 18:2 A fool hath no delight in understanding, but that his heart may discover itself. Pro 18:2 "A fool hath no delight in understanding, but that his heart may discover itself." Pro 18:6 A fool's lips enter into contention, and his mouth calleth for strokes. Is this the criticism you were expecting? I could pin you down to the level of your master. The one who first tried to use scripture against my Master, I will conclude with Pro 26:5; Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit. George |

Jam 2:19 KJV Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. Is Jesus not God! Would you say that those spoken of in the verse quoted above have received salvation due to their belief? I make no apologies, nor arguments, for it is in scripture. 1Pe 1:25 But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you. There is more to salvation than just believing. KJV Rom 10:10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. One cannot “pick and choose” as you have done, where the word of God is concerned. In its entirety, one can see the whole picture. Zoom in on the picture and you will only see a portion thereof. Read it all, my friend. If you have read and still make the assumption you have posted, you should read again, not just a verse or two. Not even a chapter or two. Perhaps after you have read a book or two, the picture will come together. By then you should be able to see the absurdity of your assumption. If not, there is only prayer left. If what you state were correct, then believing would be a free ticket to the commission of sin. Joh 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Joh 3:6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Joh 3:7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. Joh 3:8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit. George |

Hi Hank Experiences and biblical studies have taught me that, "As a whole," the bible leaves no gray areas, and that there is no question that has been asked which is not directly or indirectly answered therein. Otherwise, I would have to totally agree with you. Those who can not see, will not see; who will not hear, can not hear. Yet those who diligently search WILL find. George |

And, may I ask from where you acquired that "free will" which you so proudly lay claim to? Webster’s definition of Respect: high or special regard : ESTEEM Would you say that the Holy spirit respects the porn sights that are as readily available and as "free willed" as this one? I should think not. I would say that, according to scripture we who are chosen should consider having less pride in having made the correct choice according to what we consider our ”freewill,” give praise and thanks that through the Grace of God we have been given the discernment through the Spirit, to have made the right choice George |

Jam 2:19 KJV Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. Is Jesus not God! Would you say that those spoken of in the verse quoted above have received salvation due to their belief? Anyone who adds to what I have already quoted is simply adding leaven to the bread. "Paraphrasing the word." Be leary of mans leaven, (or at the very least, pray for discernment,) for you do not always know his intent nor level of spirituality concerning the true word. What I have provided in this and my last post concerning this subject is bread in its purest form. I have added my leaven in hopes of clarification. Discernment and understanding on the part of the reader is one thing I can not add to my post. 2Ti 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. Your answer, whether you like, accept or understand it lies herein. I don't know about you, but I personally don't care what anyone else "believes" concerning scripture. If they can't back it with scripture, it is only "opinion." My years have taught me that "opinion" is rarely worth the paper it is written on... George |

289 | What is the leaven? | Matt 16:6 | GeorJoy | 90960 | ||
Unleavened bread, (bread without yeast) represents the word of God in it's purest form. Leaven is what man has to add to it. There are many tell tale signs that you ask of. One I consider is when the pastor feels he has to ask for money 3 or 4 times each meeting. Sure it is his job to remind the congrigation of their duty to tythe and give offerings; we occasionally tend to want to forget, but I feel that, if the church is truly doing the Lords work, He will provide for them without them having to beg or make the congrigation feel bad for not having more to give. Stay with the word straight from the bible or the mouth of a man of God, and you won't go wrong. George |

290 | Are we to be aware of the "Pharisees and | Matt 16:6 | GeorJoy | 90958 | ||
The Pharisees and Sadducees could commonly be refered to as False Prophets. As to who they are. If they are not teaching the word according "to the letter of the gospel," then that is who they are. Your best defense against them is your personal study of the word, and a "God Ordained" church and Pastor. KJV 2Ti 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. There is a fine line between discernment and judgement. Discernment in my humble opinion is spiritual. Judgement, by man is carnal. If one listens to that "inner voice," gut feeling or whatever they choose to call it; chances are, they won't go wrong. God is not pleased with anyone who does not teach the word in it's purest form. However, as to those individuals, "If anyone should cause one of these little ones to lose his faith in me, it would be better for that person to have a large millstone tied around his neck and be drowned in the deep sea GNB Mat 18:6. By that I do not say that it is not right to paraphrase, or to put in ones own words. As long as the meaning is the same. George |

291 | brother john | 1 Cor 3:16 | GeorJoy | 90957 | ||
You are asking for the biblical definition of sin. I'll paraphrase a little and quote some. The rest is up to you. Nothing "of itself is a sin." GNB Jam 4:17 So then, if we do not do the good we know we should do, we are guilty of sin. It's not what goes in the mouth that is sin. It is what comes out, for what comes out of the mouth is from the heart. However, KJV 1Co 6:18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. 1Co 6:19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? I am saved. I smoke. I know it stinks and is harmfull to the body. I also know that smoking will not void what Jesus did on the cross for me, and that his WORD says that there is a time for everything. When it's my time to quit those stinking things; it will happen. Meantime smoking is a sever hinderence to me spiritually, but "all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God Rom 3:23." Anyone who says they have not sinned is a Liar and only fools themselves. If you are as I have been, the only way you will get the answers you are looking for is to get into the word for yourself. 2Ti 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. A topical search on the word sin will answer your question. Some do say that "we are left with our own understanding and interpretation of the Word." If it is truly by the Holy Spirit, it is not "our" interpertation. It is that of the Holy Spirit. George |

Sorry about that. Your answer is "NO" Absolutely and positively NO. Just believing in Christ isn't sufficient for salvation. Saton himself believes in him. Yet Satan himself most assuredly has not confessed his sins or asked for forgiveness. Just believing in something dosen't make us a member of that something. KJV Rom 10:10 For "with the heart" man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 1Pe 1:5 Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

"So, addiction is not sin"! Are you serious? Are you addressing this question to a particular individual? One can be addicted to anything; Sex, drugs, strong drink, gambling, shopping, on and on. ... and what seems to be one of todays favorites, PLEASURE and self indulgence in general. Does not the addicted become a slave to what he is addicted? If so, then, does not the addiction dictate the ways of the addicted. Has he not turned from the service of God to that of his addiction? KJV Heb 10:26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, George |

294 | IS MOSES GOD? | Acts 7:35 | GeorJoy | 90892 | ||
Exo 6:26 These are that Aaron and Moses, to whom the LORD said, Bring out the children of Israel from the land of Egypt according to their armies. Act 7:35 This Moses whom they refused, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge? --"the same did God send to be a ruler and a deliverer"-- by the hand of the angel which appeared to him in the bush. Act 7:36 He brought them out, after that he had shewed wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, and in the Red sea, and in the wilderness forty years. If you will notice, the Lord "did it" [through Moses.] Moses was made [by God] to be (as God) to the Isralites. If you will read Exodus (then reread and study it,) you will understand much more.

296 | salvation and born again. Same thing? | John 3:3 | GeorJoy | 90888 | ||
If you are "born again," you are a new person spiritually. One enters the kingdon by Grace, through faith and confession... KJV Act 15:11 But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved, Rom 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. Rom 10:10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Joh 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Joh 3:7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. Joh 3:8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit. Joh 3:9 Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be? Joh 3:10 Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things? Joh 3:11 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness. Joh 3:12 If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things? George |

297 | "Born-again Christian" redundant? | John 3:3 | GeorJoy | 90879 | ||
Good question. Yes and no. Yes, in that you are correct. No, in that sometimes it is necessary to clarify what, to some may not be as obvious as it is to others. However... Are all Christians born again? If they believe in Christ, some call them Christians. That doesn’t mean that they have accepted Him as their Lord and Savior. . George |

This "Salvation Stuff" as you call it is the "stuff' you, I and everyone else needs to keep our immortal soul from "Eternal Damnation in the lake of fire and brimstone." As to "What makes you think you must born again to be saved?" Nothing makes me "think so." The word of God lets me "KNOW" so. If you are not familiar with it and you are concerned with what the future holds for your immortal soul. I would suggest you get into it. KJV Joh 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Joh 3:6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Joh 3:7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. Joh 3:8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit. George |

299 | I'm needing the answer on Galations 5 | John 3:3 | GeorJoy | 90874 | ||
Paul is speaking of the "sins of the flesh" in the passage you quote. He states "for the flesh doth desire contrary to the Spirit." We have ALL sined and come short of the glory of God! There is but one UNFORGIVABLE sin, and that is to sin against the Holy spirit "Ghost". If, when you pray it seems that at times the Lord is farther away, it is not He who moved. Sin seperates us from Him. Repent in sincerity, confess, and if you have accepted His Son, You WILL be forgiven. Whether you have forgiven yourself or not. Learn to "walk in the spirit" and you will enjoy the fruits thereof, mentioned in 5:22. One of which is the peace you seem to be looking for. George |
