I could ask: Why did God create man first and not woman? Answer: Because God didn't want any advice on how to make man Just a joke, don't take it serious. Scripture no where says what I just stated. Laugh and shake it off. God bless Shalom |

303 | Only church | James 1:27 | New Creature | 59523 | ||
Here is some info about the Church of Christ, which I found at equip.org IS THE CHURCH OF CHRIST A CHRISTIAN CHURCH? "Some Christians believe that the Church of Christ promotes non-biblical teachings and practices. Is the Church of Christ a Christian church? The Church of Christ movement originally arose in the hopes of promoting unity among all Christians, but it eventually ended up separating itself from other Christian groups. Although the Church of Christ movement is basically Christian, it's difficult not to categorize certain factions as aberrant because of some of their more extreme doctrines and practices. Of all its beliefs, the Church of Christ movement is perhaps best known for its view that water baptism is absolutely essential for salvation. This is no doubt a "sub-biblical" view of baptism. Acts 10:44-48, for example, records that Gentiles were filled with the Holy Spirit (and therefore saved) before they were baptized. Water baptism is certainly a normal part of becoming a Christian and a member of the church; nevertheless, it's still possible to be saved without having been baptized -- especially when circumstances make baptism very difficult if not impossible (cf. Luke 23:39-43). Now, some of the more extreme factions within the Church of Christ movement go even further, and argue that anyone who views baptism differently from them is not a Christian and is, therefore, lost -- even if that person has been baptized! There are also reports that heavy-handed tactics are employed by a number of more extremist groups within the Church of Christ. The Boston Movement, for example, which evolved from a similar movement at the Crossroads Church of Christ, is probably the most well-known of these authoritarian groups. Both movements were rejected by the mainline Churches of Christ. This particular group goes so far as to say that other segments of the Church of Christ movement are non-Christian and will face eternal damnation. And so, while the Church of Christ movement is orthodox in many of the essentials of the faith, it is plagued with a very loud segment whose views are so extreme that developing any type of Christian fellowship with them becomes almost an impossible task. But remember, don't throw the baby out with the bath water; there are many within the Church of Christ movement who are committed Christians." |

306 | How to correct ungodly co-workers? | 1 Tim 1:9 | New Creature | 59258 | ||
TP I use to have tracts on my work desk. The name of the tract was - "God's last name is not damn" When people would come over to talk to me, they would notice the tract on my desk, and then be more sensitive around me about taking the Lord's name in vain. It worked for me, without having to say a word to them. Who knows. It might work for you. Look in your local Christian book-stores, tract section and see if this tract is available. If you don't find it, ask the owners if they could locate them for you. |

307 | please, where do races come from ? | 1 Corinthians | New Creature | 59256 | ||
The best answer about races that I like to give is - There is only one race of people, and thats the human race. Read the following Scripture - Acts 17:26 (God) hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation; we all have been made of one blood. One blood, one race, different nations, with various bounds of habitation. Adam was the off-spring of God We all are the off-spring of Adam |

there are two camps on this issue Those who support "eternal security" use verses such as - John 6:39 John 10:29 John 15:6 Rom 8:38-39 and others Those who don't think the Bible supports the eternal security position use verses such as Heb. 6:4-6 Rom. 11:21 2 Pet. 2:20-22 Heb. 10:26-29 Luke 8:13 Mark 4:16-17 |

310 | letters Jesus wrote to the 7 churches | Rev 2:7 | New Creature | 58330 | ||
I believe that the letters that were written to the 7 churches in Asia, are directed at all churches in all ages. Seven times in Rev. chapters 2 and 3 are found the following words - Rev 2:7 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; Are we today a church that still needs to be hearing what the Spirit would say? I think so. Lastly - Discovery House Publishers has two great videos on this topic. The two videos are entitled " Land Of The Seven Churches" these two tapes can be obtained by contacting Discovery House Publishers Box 3566 Grand Rapids, MI 49501 or e-mail them at videos@dhp.org their web-site is - http://www.dhp.org/ Hope this helps |

311 | So is this what Eph 2:8-9 is saying to u | Gen 12:1 | New Creature | 57547 | ||
yes but also include verse 10 with Eph 2:8-9 | ||||||
312 | So is the book of Romans 4 a contraditio | Gen 12:1 | New Creature | 57491 | ||
The Bible does not contradict itself. Therefore seeming contradictions, come from our misunderstanding of scripture. Titus 3:8 This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men. "Now I know that there are some who will insist that works and obedience are good but that they are not essential. They argue that God's favor can only be gained through faith. While it is certainly true that a right relationship with God comes only through faith, it does not come through the kind of faith which is barren. Genuine faith stimulates those who possess it to obedience. If yours does not, it is thereby called into serious question." (source unknown) "Only he who believes is obedient. Only he who is obedient, believes." (Bonhoeffer) "Brethren, I would point out that obedience is taught throughout the entire Bible and that true obedience is one of the toughest requirements of the Christian life. Apart from obedience, there can be no salvation, for salvation without obedience is a self-contradictory impossibility." -- A.W. Tozer, I Call it Heresy "a living faith will be an obedient faith" (Spurgeon) "obedience to the will of God is the ultimate test of our love for God, and the only true response to His love for us." (source unknown) Whoever has my commands and obeys them, he it is who loves me. (John 14:21,23) If you obey my commands,you will remain in my love (John 15:10) James 1:22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. Luke 6:46 And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say? Mt 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven |

313 | Who is this One who even forgives sins? | Mark 4:35 | New Creature | 56739 | ||
1John 1:7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. 8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us [our] sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. |

314 | are we saved by grace or baptism? | NT general Archive 1 | New Creature | 56738 | ||
Eph 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: [it is] the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. In the above verse being saved is a gift. If a gift then you can't buy it. The price to obtain that gift for you individually has already been made when Jesus bled and died for you. The only thing you can do is receive the gift by faith. Water baptism is for the person of faith - for those who already have been saved. Water baptism is a rite of sacrament, an external outward washing. It's the outward testimony of the inward reality of salvation present. Salavtion is a free gift. We don't get water baptized to become saved, we get baptized because we have been saved. |

John 3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. John 3:7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. Acts 17:30 ....God ....now commandeth all men every where to repent: Acts 16:30 ..... what must I do to be saved? 31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, Then continue in the faith, Acts 14:22 Col. 1:23, and 1 John 2:24 Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls. 1 Pet. 1:9 |

317 | Is God still speak to man today? | Bible general Archive 1 | New Creature | 56125 | ||
Yes God still speaks to us today. God speaks to us through, His written word (the Bible) and by His Holy Spirit. God also speaks to us through circumstances that arise. And what God spaeks to us today should never contradict what is already written in God's word. Rev. 2:29 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. |

319 | where do you find permissive will of God | Rom 12:2 | New Creature | 55594 | ||
Dear teragram - Below are some quotes on "permissive will" which I found in the book "Life In The Son" - by Robert Shank "All that occurs within the universe is within the permissive will of God. Neither men nor angels nor devils can go beyond the limits of God’s permissive will. But it is by no means true that all that occurs is in accord with the perfect will of God." "It is evident that there are two aspects of the will of God with respect to sin: His permissive will allows it; but His perfect will forbids it and will bring all sin into judgement" "Numerous Scriptures reveal God’s perfect will to “have all men to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth” (1 Tim. 2:4); but the fact that not all men are saved reflects God’s permissive will. If a man is saved, it is in accordance with God’s perfect will that all men should be saved; if a man is lost; it is in accordance with God’s permissive will that men, being free moral agents rather than mere puppets, may refuse to obey Him. The latitude between God’s perfect will and His permissive will is the area within which men function with freedom as responsible moral intelligences, accountable before God in solemn judgement. As moral intelligences created in His image, men must of their own free will concour in God’s redemptive process" __________________________________________ I personally think we could say that our God given freedom is limited within the bounds which lie between God’s perfect will and God’s permissive will. Just a few thoughts on this topic for you God bless you New Creature |

320 | do teachers agree on issue of lost salva | James 3:1 | New Creature | 55512 | ||
Dear sharronaharris - you asked "Is salvation truly secured from God with the 'confession that Christ is personal savior, that Christ is the son of God and that Christ died for our sins on the cross and was resurrected'? or do we as believers have to perservere in obedience to the end before salvation is insured?" Chuck Swindoll has said - "belief brings salvation, but active obedience demonstrates that our belief is genuine." Do we have to perseverve to the end you aksed. I think the answer is yes. Paul described the Christian life of faith as a race, ( 1 Cor. 9:24 Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. Heb 12:1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset [us], and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,) and we know that in a race there is a starting line as well as a finishing line.) Paul also said - 2 Tim. 4:7 I have fought a good fight, I have finished [my] course, I have kept the faith: Paul not only began the race of faith, but he also went the full distance to cross the finish line. You also asked - "what of the teachers that teach the 'wrong' message" Matthew, Paul and Peter all warned us that there would be false teachers and prophets, and that we are to beware of them. See Matt. 7:17 Acts 20:28-31 and 2 Pet. 2:1 Today there are many false teachers, and they are rapidly multiplying. We need to be discerning, and compare what is being said by what God's word to us says. The Holy Spirit is our trustworthy and reliable teacher who will guide us into all truth. (See John 14:26 and John 16:13) If you have any further questions please feel free to let me know. May God bless you New Creature |
