361 | don't have one | 2 Cor 8:9 | New Creature | 46191 | ||
"If the devil comes to you and whispers that you are no good, don't argue with him. In fact, you may as well admit it, but then remind the devil; Regardless what you say about me, I must tell you how the Lord feels about me. He tells me that I am so valuable to Him that He gave Himself for me on the cross." (Aiden Wilson Tozer) Your worth to God is determined by the price Jesus was willing to pay to obtain your redemption. He gave His life for us. |

363 | How do I find a fellowship? | Eph 4:11 | New Creature | 45992 | ||
I can understand what you are saying. I too have been saddened by denominationalism. In my personal experience, I find to many Bibical reasons why I refuse to attend most denominations. The creeds and statements of many to me seem to exhalt some man's teachings above God's word. I have found that non-denominational churches better. Even in the church i presently attend and am a member of, I find that I don't agree with every individual on every matter. But I find that we have the freedom to dicuss those things we don't all think alike on, such as the timing of the rapture, free will, whether the atonement is limited or unlimited, whether once saved always saved is Bibical or not. The thing I find is that we all agree on the essentials of our faith, Jesus virgin birth, Jesus atoning sacrifice, his death, his resurrection, etc. etc. The preaching focuses on the essentials, and in the Sunday school classes we have the liberty and freedom to differ on the non-essentials, without being considered as odd. |

364 | Where does Jesus say He is God? | Bible general Archive 1 | New Creature | 45990 | ||
While the following verse does not emphatically state that Jesus is God, it certainly removes the vagueness, and at the same time most surley implys that to see Jesus is to see the Father (God) John 14:9 Jesus saith ... he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; Other good verses are John 1:1,14 |

365 | does baptism save us? 1Pet.3:21 | 1 Pet 3:21 | New Creature | 45725 | ||
1 Pet. 3:21 The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ: Lets dig deeper into this verse it’s NOT the putting away of the filth of the flesh (refers to water baptism.) NO outward EXTERNAL washing can save you, but the INTERNAL washing accomplished in the baptism which the Holy Ghost provides does save. So actually this verse is saying it is the baptism of the Holy Spirit that saves you, not any external washing, or submerrsion with water. Water baptism certainly is something every born-again Bible believing Christian, should submit to. It's following in our Lord's footsteps. However we don't get water baptised to become saved. We get water baptised because we have been saved. I am not putting down water baptism. It definitely is important to follow in the Lord's footsteps, and I too was baptized by immersion, but that was after I became saved, not before when Phillip was sent by the Holy Spirit to baptize the Ethiopian eunuch, The Ethiopian asked Phillip what prevented him from being baptized Phillip said "If you believe with all your heart you may" that’s why water baptism is called believers baptism also Acts 8:36 And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized Acts 8:37 And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. those at Corinth clearly BELIEVED BEFORE they were baptized. This is shown in ACTS 18:8 which reads, "Crispus, the synagogue ruler, and his entire household believed in the Lord; and many of the Corinthians who heard him BELIEVED and were BAPTIZED." If you are saying that belief should lead us to baptism then I agree, but belief preceded baptism The Church of Christ, believes in baptismal regeneration. (meaning we are bornagain when we are water baptised) This teaching is unBibical. The following quotes come from the CoC “we are born again in a spirit sense. That happens in the water.” Ken Sublett COC “water baptism is the only way this born again can be enacted.” Ken Sublett COC taught from Scripture that baptism was only for those who had believed the gospel: "teach all nations baptizing them [who have believed]" (Mt 28:19); "Then they that gladly received his word were baptized" (Acts 2: 41); "What doth hinder me to be baptized ... If thou believest in Christ with all thine heart, thou mayest" (Acts 8:35-37). Those who believe in baptismal regeneration claim that water baptism is what makes one a "believer" but that would mean that they were baptizing unbelievers in order to make them into believers. |

366 | Can you give the places? | Bible general Archive 1 | New Creature | 45458 | ||
I gave my opinion on the Book of Mormon, but I don't care to get into a discussion about it, or any other religions books such as the Quran, the New World Translation, which the JW's use, etc. I prefer to spend my time studying the Bible. | ||||||

368 | Is the Book of Mormon inspired of God? | Bible general Archive 1 | New Creature | 45361 | ||
It is my belief that the book of Mormon was not inspired by God. I find many places listed which have no archaeological evidence to support them. Also, The Book of Mormon has no specific prophecies and cannot withstand any tests as to it’s validity. |

369 | Seeking out suffering? | Col 1:24 | New Creature | 45145 | ||
2 Tim. 3:12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. If we are not suffering persecution, could the reason be because we are not living godly? also consider the following verses on suffering: 1 Pet. 2:19 For this [is] thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully. 20 For what glory [is it], if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer [for it], ye take it patiently, this [is] acceptable with God. 21 For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps: |

370 | Truly saved or not | John 10:28 | New Creature | 45143 | ||
In Scripture on the one hand we read: "for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee." (Heb 13:5) on the other hand scripture says: "if ye forsake him, he will forsake you." So we see: 1) God is not the one who does the forsaking of us (Heb. 13:5) 2) It is individuals who forsake God, at which point, He then, and only then will "forsake you" (2 Chr. 15:2) The forsaking is initiated on our part, not on God's |

372 | Should I apologize to kalos | Bible general Archive 1 | New Creature | 44880 | ||
I have been guilty in the past of making remarks that have resulted in hurting people, but I believe that (1) Christian's should not be offended as easily as we often are. (2) We should, go to the person who offended us, and tell them,that what they did or said hurt our feelings. And someone either intentionally or unintentionally hurt our feelings they should apologize and we should be willing to forgive them just as Christ forgave us. (3) Christian's will not always agree with each other on everything. But we should " Col. 4:6 Let your speech [be] alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man." |

373 | Does it include all suffering? | Col 1:24 | New Creature | 44798 | ||
Cheryl; I thought I would send this comment your way. I hope it helps you. I know it did me when I first read it. "Those who are suffering, or those who seek to counsel the sufferers, are all too quick to name sin as the standard cause for the distress. The very nature and circumstances of Christ’s sufferings exposes as utterly false the present-day notion that Christian’s who suffer are always sinning or out of God’s will. If Jesus, who was the perfect, sinless Son of God, suffered so much, then how can Christian’s who are so imperfect expect to escape all sufferings? The answer is that we cannot, as 1 Peter 2:20 - 23 demonstrates. Such a theology of nonsuffering, if carried to it’s logical extreme, must claim that Jesus was out of God’s will when He died on the cross." (Notes taken from the book; The Power Of Suffering - By John MacArthur Jr.) |

374 | Who is gathered first - tares or wheat? | Matt 13:30 | New Creature | 44686 | ||
The text states that the tares are gathered first. That along with other scripture such as Matthew 24:29-31 etc. forces me to side against the current views of pre-tribulation rapturist's Notice in matthew 24:29-31 That immediately after the tribulation, that the elect are still present. My view may not be in the majority, but nevertheless, it remains my view that pre-trib doesn't square with all of scripture. But it is very possible that the majority may view be wrong. |

375 | Who are the "sons of God?" | OT general | New Creature | 44650 | ||
Here is my opinion. In Gen 6:2 "sons of God" refers to believers in God (the saved ones). The phrase "daughters of men" in the same verse refers to the unsaved or unbelievers. The believers were joining in mixed marriages with unbelievers, which causes many problems. Solomon had many foreign wives who turned his heart away from the Lord. Believers should marry believers. We don't marry an unbeliever hoping that they will later become believers. Concerning the verse in Job 1:6, I like the wording that comes from the NIV Bible. It says: "One day the angels came came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan also came with them." In that verse I believe the angels mentioned here refer to the angels who remained in God's presence and were not of the 1/3 of fallen angels that joined Satan in the rebellion against God. So it is my opinion that the verses you mention do not refer to the same thing when it mentions the "sons of God" |

376 | Who was John? | John 19:26 | New Creature | 44610 | ||
The text you refer to speaks about John, one of the Apostles of Jesus. This same John wrote the book of John, plus 1,2, and 3 John along with the book of Revelation. Be careful you don't get John the Apostle mixed up with John the Baptist. The two are not the same person. |

377 | How to receive God's blessings he gives | 2 Cor 5:8 | New Creature | 44609 | ||
Obedience to the known and revealed will of God for your life or mine brings blessing. God always honors obedience. Deuteronomy 28 mentions how obedience brings blessings, and disobedience brings a curse. For the believer the desire to obey is given to us by God. | ||||||
378 | Why does this passage not work? | John 14:13 | New Creature | 44608 | ||
"Burn the bush like you did for Moses, God, and I will follow . Collapse the walls like you did in Jericho for Joshua, God and I will fight. Still the waters like you did on the sea of Galilee, God and I will listen. And so the man sat by a bush, near a wall, close to the sea, and waited for God to speak. And God heard the man, so God answered. I sent fire, not for a bush, but for a church. I brought down a wall, not of brick, but of sin. I stilled a storm, not of a sea, but of a soul. And God waited for the man to respond. And He waited, and He waited, And He waited. But because the man was looking at bushes, not hearts, bricks and not lives, seas and not souls, he decided that God had done nothing. Finally he looked to God and asked. Have you lost your power? And God looked at him and said, Have you lost your hearing?" Max Lucado |

379 | Why does this passage not work? | John 14:13 | New Creature | 44607 | ||
Maybe your too focused on the physical rather than spiritual. I see sight restored to people all the time. Spiritual sight that is. I see hearing rerstored to the spiritually deaf many times. And I have also seen people who through the power of prayer were miraculously healed from any signs of cancer, to the doctors amazement. The verse you mention works, you just need to open your eyes. |

380 | Can we figure out God's Truth | 2 Tim 3:16 | New Creature | 44606 | ||
The answer is no. John 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: The Bible is a supernatural book and can be understood only by supernatural aid. (A.W. Tozer) 1 Cor. 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know [them], because they are spiritually discerned. Spiritual understanding requires discernment. We need the Holy Spirit's assistance to properly understand God's word. It's an erroneous assumption that spiritual truths can be intellectually perceived. If the brain were the key to spiritual understanding, the most intellectual persons would be the most Christ-like. (John McArthur Jr.) The word does not say; “no man knows the things of God except the man who studies the Bible.” It does say; that no man knows the things of God except by the Holy Spirit. “The Scriptures, to be understood, must be read with the same Spirit that originally inspired them.” (A.W. Tozer) Paul said: Gal. 1:11 But I certify you, brethren, that THE GOSPEL which was preached of me is not after man. 12 For I neither RECEIVED it of man, neither was I taught [it], but BY the REVELATION of Jesus Christ. (Capitialization added for emphasis) We need Divine revelation to discern the truth of God's word in the way God intended |
