302 | LET'S LOVE ONE ANOTHER? | Rom 12:14 | meusing | 43439 | ||
Rom 12:14 Bless those who persecute you [who are cruel in their attitude toward you]; bless and do not curse them. Rom 12:15 Rejoice with those who rejoice [sharing others' joy], and weep with those who weep [sharing others' grief]. Rom 12:16 Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty (snobbish, high-minded, exclusive), but readily adjust yourself to [people, things] and give yourselves to humble tasks. Never overestimate yourself or be wise in your own conceits. [Prov. 3:7.] Rom 12:17 Repay no one evil for evil, but take thought for what is honest and proper and noble [aiming to be above reproach] in the sight of everyone. [Prov. 20:22.] Rom 12:18 If possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. Rom 12:19 Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave the way open for [God's] wrath; for it is written, Vengeance is Mine, I will repay (requite), says the Lord. [Deut. 32:35.] Rom 12:20 But if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals upon his head. [Prov. 25:21, 22.] Rom 12:21 Do not let yourself be overcome by evil, but overcome (master) evil with good. |

303 | Romans 12:9-14 - love the evil? | Rom 12:14 | meusing | 152027 | ||
Hi, I think you are confusing an attribute (evil) and a person (who does evil). We are to hate evil, but love the person. I believe that when it says that we are to have the mind of Christ, our heats (like His) are to break over the person who is doing the evil. This is why we are to bless the person - to pray that he or she to be released from the evil. So, we are to hate the evil, but love the person who does the evil against us. To pray that they will come to realization of the pain they are giving God, and repent and come to Jesus so they will have peace. If a person who does evil is converted he is then your brother in Christ. This is what we pray for. 2 Cor 5:17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come. 2 Cor 5:18 Now all these things are from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation, 2 Cor 5:19 namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and He has committed to us the word of reconciliation. 2 Cor 5:20 Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were making an appeal through us; we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. 2 Cor 5:21 He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. just my meusings |

304 | What God has in store for believers? | 1 Cor 2:9 | meusing | 152199 | ||
I think this verse says it all. 1 Corinthians 2:9 But, on the contrary, as the Scripture says, What eye has not seen and ear has not heard and has not entered into the heart of man, [all that] God has prepared (made and keeps ready) for those who love Him [who hold Him in affectionate reverence, promptly obeying Him and gratefully recognizing the benefits He has bestowed]. [Isa. 64:4; 65:17.] |

305 | What does this passage mean? | 1 Cor 7:14 | meusing | 47278 | ||
I think A. T. Robertson explains it well. -- 1Co 7:14 - Is sanctified in the wife (hegiastai en tei gunaiki). Perfect passive indicative of hagiazo, to set apart, to hallow, to sanctify. Paul does not, of course, mean that the unbelieving husband is saved by the faith of the believing wife, though Hodge actually so interprets him. Clearly he only means that the marriage relation is sanctified so that there is no need of a divorce. If either husband or wife is a believer and the other agrees to remain, the marriage is holy and need not be set aside. This is so simple that one wonders at the ability of men to get confused over Paul’s language. |

306 | Was Jesus Christ the God of the Old Test | 1 Cor 10:4 | meusing | 41698 | ||
The LORD God explained why He chose the children of Israel. Deut 7:6 For you are a holy and set-apart people to the Lord your God; the Lord your God has chosen you to be a special people to Himself out of all the peoples on the face of the earth. Deut 7:7 The Lord did not set His love upon you and choose you because you were more in number than any other people, for you were the fewest of all people. Deut 7:8 But because the Lord loves you and because He would keep the oath which He had sworn to your fathers, the Lord has brought you out with a mighty hand and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt. Deut 7:9 Know, recognize, and understand therefore that the Lord your God, He is God, the faithful God, Who keeps covenant and steadfast love and mercy with those who love Him and keep His commandments, to a thousand generations, Deut 7:10 And repays those who hate Him to their face, by destroying them; He will not be slack to him who hates Him, but will requite him to his face. |

308 | God forgive no matter what | 2 Cor 5:8 | meusing | 44363 | ||
The purpose of Jesus is to save us from sin. 1. from the penalty of sin. 2. from the power of sin. 3. and finally from the presence of sin. The Holy Sprit witnesses to us and brings us to repentance which is turning from sin to God, not just sorrow for sin. Paul asked this question in Romans 6 and 7. Rom 6:1 WHAT SHALL we say [to all this]? Are we to remain in sin in order that God's grace (favor and mercy) may multiply and overflow? Rom 6:2 Certainly not! How can we who died to sin live in it any longer? Rom 6:3 Are you ignorant of the fact that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? Rom 6:4 We were buried therefore with Him by the baptism into death, so that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glorious [power] of the Father, so we too might [habitually] live and behave in newness of life. Rom 6:5 For if we have become one with Him by sharing a death like His, we shall also be [one with Him in sharing] His resurrection [by a new life lived for God]. Rom 6:15 What then [are we to conclude]? Shall we sin because we live not under Law but under God's favor and mercy? Certainly not! Rom 6:16 Do you not know that if you continually surrender yourselves to anyone to do his will, you are the slaves of him whom you obey, whether that be to sin, which leads to death, or to obedience which leads to righteousness (right doing and right standing with God)? Rom 6:17 But thank God, though you were once slaves of sin, you have become obedient with all your heart to the standard of teaching in which you were instructed and to which you were committed. Rom 6:18 And having been set free from sin, you have become the servants of righteousness (of conformity to the divine will in thought, purpose, and action). The Holy Spirit dwells within the Christian as a principle within who watches for sin and testifies to us of what that sin cost Jesus. This is the loving fear of God ... wanting to please Him and being afraid to displease Him, not because of punishment but because of love. |

309 | Strength through Him or in Him? | 2 Cor 12:9 | meusing | 137641 | ||
I think John Gill explained it best whose power is perfected: "for My strength is made perfect in weakness; by the "strength" of Christ is meant, not his strength as the mighty God, but that communicative strength which he has, and is in him as Mediator, and which saints look to him for, and receive from him; this is "made perfect in" their "weakness"; not that their weakness can add perfection to his strength, for his strength is perfect in itself, not to say anything of the contradiction such a sense carries in it; but the meaning is, that the strength of Christ is made to appear, is illustrated and shines forth in its perfection and glory, in supplying, supporting, and strengthening his people under all their weakness; and if they were not left to some weaknesses in themselves, his strength would not be so manifest" Robertson's Word Pictures explains: "Is perfected (teleitai). Present passive indicative of teleo, to finish. It is linear in idea. Power is continually increased as the weakness grows. See note on Phi. 4:13 for this same noble conception. The human weakness opens the way for more of Christ’s power and grace." the note on Phil 4:13 is: "In him that strengtheneth me (en toi endunamounti me). Late and rare verb (in lxx) from adjective endunamos (en, dunamis). Causative verb to empower, to pour power into one. See same phrase in 1Ti. 1:12 toi endunamosanti me (aorist tense here). Paul has such strength so long as Jesus keeps on putting power (dunamis) into him." |

310 | Fellowship of the Holy Spirit | 2 Cor 13:14 | meusing | 62604 | ||
Webster said : 1. Fellowship; intercourse between two persons or more; interchange of transactions, or offices; a state of giving and receiving; agreement; concord. and John Gill : communion and fellowship which the Spirit of God leads the saints into with the Father, by shedding abroad his love in their hearts, and with the Son, by taking of the things of Christ, and showing them to them; and also that nearness which the spirits of believers have with the Spirit of God, when he witnesses to their spirits that they are the children of God, becomes the earnest of the inheritance in their hearts, and seals them up unto the day of redemption |

If we were talking to a 'sinner' we would show him Christ who is better that wine. Alot of problems can be anesthesized (sp?) that are soved by freedom in Christ. We do nto need to get drunk when we have the joy of sins forgiven. mY problems are now in God's capable hands and I have a new family of brothers and sisters who suport me. | ||||||
312 | Galatians and Matthew | Galatians | meusing | 44769 | ||
I am not sure what your question is about ancestor worship, as we worship a living God. But circumcision was instituted by God as a sign of His covenant with Abraham. In Galations and Romans, Paul shows that now,Gal 5:6 For [if we are] in Christ Jesus, neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything, but only faith activated and energized and expressed and working through love. |

313 | Predestination | Eph 1:4 | meusing | 41709 | ||
We do not know who God has or has not chosen. It is not up to us to decide. All we can say is that before we were Christians we heard the Word "believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you shall be saved." we believed. then we found out that we were forknown and predestined to be conformed to the image of Christ. Even John Calvin taught : As the ministers of the Gospel, and those who are called to the office of teaching, cannot distinguish between the children of God and swine, it is their duty to present the doctrine of salvation indiscriminately to all. Though many may appear to them, at first, to be hardened and unyielding, yet charity forbids that such persons should be immediately pronounced to be desperate. |

315 | Predestination | Eph 1:4 | meusing | 42551 | ||
Yes, Jesus came to call sinners to REPENTANCE. But some will not. It is made clear in Scripture that there are people who reject Jesus. Jesus Himself said : John 3:19 The [basis of the] judgment (indictment, the test by which men are judged, the ground for the sentence) lies in this: the Light has come into the world, and people have loved the darkness rather than and more than the Light, for their works (deeds) were evil. [Isa. 5:20.] John 3:20 For every wrongdoer hates (loathes, detests) the Light, and will not come out into the Light but shrinks from it, lest his works (his deeds, his activities, his conduct) be exposed and reproved. He cried over Jerusalem because they rejected Him. He said : " Matt 11:21 Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would long ago have repented in sackcloth and ashes [and their hearts would have been changed]. Matt 11:22 I tell you [further], it shall be more endurable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you. Matt 11:23 And you, Capernaum, are you to be lifted up to heaven? You shall be brought down to Hades [the region of the dead]! For if the mighty works done in you had been done in Sodom, it would have continued until today. Matt 11:24 But I tell you, it shall be more endurable for the land of Sodom on the day of judgment than for you. " That does not seem to indicate that they will all be saved. Rom 1:29 Until they were filled (permeated and saturated) with every kind of unrighteousness, iniquity, grasping and covetous greed, and malice. [They were] full of envy and jealousy, murder, strife, deceit and treachery, ill will and cruel ways. [They were] secret backbiters and gossipers, Rom 1:30 Slanderers, hateful to and hating God, full of insolence, arrogance, [and] boasting; inventors of new forms of evil, disobedient and undutiful to parents. Rom 1:31 [They were] without understanding, conscienceless and faithless, heartless and loveless [and] merciless. Rom 1:32 Though they are fully aware of God's righteous decree that those who do such things deserve to die, they not only do them themselves but approve and applaud others who practice them. |

Eph 4:30 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God [do not offend or vex or sadden Him], by Whom you were sealed (marked, branded as God's own, secured) for the day of redemption (of final deliverance through Christ from evil and the consequences of sin). He is called the HOLY Spirit OF GOD. |

317 | Doesn't John 14:28 disprove the Trinity? | Phil 2:6 | meusing | 40910 | ||
The Father means 'Father' Jesus is God (John 1:1) He is the life giver and EQUAL to God (the Father). He chose to submit Himself under the Father's authority. Phil 2:6 Who, although being essentially one with God and in the form of God [possessing the fullness of the attributes which make God God], did not think this equality with God was a thing to be eagerly grasped or retained, Phil 2:7 But stripped Himself [of all privileges and rightful dignity], so as to assume the guise of a servant (slave), in that He became like men and was born a human being. Phil 2:8 And after He had appeared in human form, He abased and humbled Himself [still further] and carried His obedience to the extreme of death, even the death of the cross! Phil 2:9 Therefore [because He stooped so low] God has highly exalted Him and has freely bestowed on Him the name that is above every name, Phil 2:10 That in (at) the name of Jesus every knee should (must) bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, Phil 2:11 And every tongue [frankly and openly] confess and acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. |

320 | Muslim missionaries said to me last week | Phil 2:7 | meusing | 64071 | ||
That is the same type of argument that the tempter used : "If you are the Son of God ..." do this of that to proove it. However Jesus being God submitteted to all this as the writer of Hebrews says : Heb 4:15 For we do not have a High Priest Who is unable to understand and sympathize and have a shared feeling with our weaknesses and infirmities and liability to the assaults of temptation, but One Who has been tempted in every respect as we are, yet without sinning. Heb 4:16 Let us then fearlessly and confidently and boldly draw near to the throne of grace (the throne of God's unmerited favor to us sinners), that we may receive mercy [for our failures] and find grace to help in good time for every need [appropriate help and well-timed help, coming just when we need it]. Jesus came to die on the Cross so the mockers challenge was not justifiable. They were telling Him to disobey and take Himself out of the the will of God. He came to die for us. It was His love that held Him there and His determination to endure all so that He as God could take our punishement and be victorious over it. please ask your friends next time you see them, "How would it have proved Jesus was God's Son if He had disobeyed Him?" |
