41 | Can you loose your salvation? | NT general Archive 1 | Rowdy | 123052 | ||
I can only imagine you're probably thinking you've been flooded, maybe even saturated with so many different opinions and scriptures to back them up. Thus I'm motivated to make this my last post on this thread and strive to keep it brief. Just a few more examples from God Word and I'll try to summarize. First from Apostle Paul 1 Cor 9:25 Everyone who competes in the games exercises self-control in all things. They then do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable. 26 Therefore I run in such a way, as not without aim; I box in such a way, as not beating the air; 27 but I discipline my body and make it my slave, so that, after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified. So we even see the Apostle Paul, probably the greatest, most devoted disciple of Christ who has to exercise self-discipline in order to prevent losing the prize. What else could he possibly be referring to in this context? We have in Acts 5, Ananias and Sapphira, christians who were also greedy. They wanted the same fame and glory as Barnabas in selling their land but they wanted to keep back a portion of the money and tried to deceive the Holy Spirit. Thus they not only lost their souls but immediately lost their lives as well. My last example would be that of Simon the Sorcerer in Acts 8. He too was a christian but greedy for the miraculous powers as exhibited by Peter. He even tried to purchase these powers. Of course Peter told him he had to repent to prevent the horrors of God's rejection. There are others but again I want to be brief. My main point of this post is to acknowledge that God's Word is not always ideally clear on some topics, including this concept of the "eternal security" or "once saved, always saved." I'll readily agree that some scriptures as cited by some of these other posts does give one reason to wonder about the possibility of contradiction but we all know that God WOULD NOT contradict Himself in His Word. So what are we to do? This is my last point and then I'll hush. I would refer you to the words of Jesus Himself from Matt 5:29 "If your right eye makes you stumble, tear it out and throw it from you; for it is better for you to lose one of the parts of your body, than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. 30 "If your right hand makes you stumble, cut it off and throw it from you; for it is better for you to lose one of the parts of your body, than for your whole body to go into hell. Does Jesus actually expect us as His disciples to literally eliminate a body part if we have a problem with it? I don't think so as we don't have any history of this kind of practice in these past two thousand years. But on the other hand, IF a person came to the conclusion that these were his only two choices: go to Heaven minus a body part or go to Hell with a whole body, I'm sure most would make the right choice and go to Heaven. What am I saying: this is Jesus' way of saying "better safe than sorry" or "err on the side of caution." So in a similar manner, if a person draws a conclusion of two choices on a particular subject: Assume once you're a christian, there's nothing more for you to worry about OR assume the scriptures referred above are true and that we're all guilty of sin every day (Rom 3:23 and Ja 4:17) which needs to be resolved before God. Thus we must see ourselves in need of God's Mercy and Grace every day of our lives. We all should be in a pentitent attitude all our lives and realize our need to repent every day. If we don't do this, I'm very much afraid we take a terrible chance of facing Judgment Day unprepared. I hope this helps and God bless. --Rowdy |

42 | Can you loose your salvation? | NT general Archive 1 | Rowdy | 123029 | ||
Well, at the very least you can see I was right on target about the breadth and depth of this controversy although I must admit I didn't dream it would happen so much in such a short time. However, I too will also concede that throughout God's Word there are some verses that seem to support the Con side of this question while I have already stated I support the Pro side. I'll elaborate. But first of all, I wanted to introduce to you my latest addition to my library. The title is "Bible Commentary" of the King James version. The main reason for my showcasing it like this is the extensive list of unbiased writers and reviewers on the team that put it together. There's a total of 21 persons on this team but I just wanted to describe a few of the more prominent. 1) James A Borland, Th.D. from Grace Theological, BA from LA Baptist 2) Charles L. Feinberg, Ph.D. John Hopkins Univ and MA from Southern Methodist Univ 3) Edward E. Hindson, Th.D. from Trinity Graduate School and MA from Trinity Evangelical Divinity 4) Daniel R. Mitchell, Th.D. from Dallas Theological Seminary and former Professor of Theology at Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary Like I mentioned there are many, many more but suffice it to say they cover the whole spectrum of Bible topics and modern denominations so I was reasonably assured that their opinions are at least worth a second look. I'll be quoting from this book quite a bit in the balance of this post and in future posts. So I would cite from 1 John 1:6 If we claim to have fellowship with Him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live by the truth. 7But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin. John goes on to describe this process placing an equal amount of emphasis on the horizontal relationship with our fellow christians so as to maintain a proper vertical relationship with God our father, 1 Jn 2:11. From the Commentary: "John may have come right to the point; he is probably dealing with a real situation where there are those who claim that you can have fellowship with God and live andy way you please. Exactly this situation had existed earlier and occasioned the wirting of II Peter and Jude. More sophistication had probably been added, but these false teachers or incipient gnostics showed signs of having the same warped logic which would permit practicing known and willful sin." Next I would cite Paul's side of the story from 1 Cor 9:24 Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. 25Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last; but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. 26Therefore I do not run like a man running aimlessly; I do not fight like a man beating the air. 27No, I beat my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize. Commentary: "From the original Greek, 'buffet my body' meant a tremendous amount of abuse. Paul's Corinthian readers knew that in the Isthmian games, the boxers wore gloves consisting of ox-hide bands covered with knots and nails and loaded with lead and iron. To prepare for such an event, a man would have to steel himself against all forms of physical abuse." So we see here that even Paul had to bring his body into submission lest he fall from grace. If Paul could fall, don't you know any and all christians since his time could do the same. At this point, I must get some sleep. I'll continue this dialouge tomorrow. God bless. --Rowdy |

43 | Can you loose your salvation? | NT general Archive 1 | Rowdy | 123001 | ||
I'm afraid you're dealing with a very old and controversial subject going back several centuries with John Calvin on down. If you'll punch in key words like, once saved, always saved, Calvinism or loose salvation into the Word Search at the right of your screen, you'll get a tremendous variety of opinions, statements and scriptures supporting each position. My position is that a christian can most certainly loose their salvation if you fail to maintain a good healthy relationship with God through His Son. There are many scriptures I can cite but I'll try to restrain myself to just a few. I'm sorry but I have to go on an errand. I'll get back to you with those few scriptures over the weekend. I do hope you'll study the matter in your Bible and pray about it. God bless. --Rowdy |

44 | YET ascented to Heaven | NT general Archive 1 | Rowdy | 122975 | ||
As far as I know this is the only place in the Bible Luke 16:22 "Now the poor man died and was carried away by the angels to Abraham's bosom; and the rich man also died and was buried. 23 "In Hades he lifted up his eyes, being in torment, and saw Abraham far away and Lazarus in his bosom. Apparently, the Jews thought of this phrase, "Abraham's bosom" as being their idea of Heaven or the ideal place after life on earth. Jesus saw how much emphasis they placed on Abraham. By the way I found this quite easily by inserting those two words into the Word Search at the right of your screen. Hope this helps and God bless. --Rowdy |

45 | Contradiction with 1 Cor 14:22 and 24 | 1 Cor 14:25 | Rowdy | 122961 | ||
Copied for reference: 1 Cor 14:20 Brethren, do not be children in your thinking; yet in evil be infants, but in your thinking be mature. 21 In the Law it is written, "BY MEN OF STRANGE TONGUES AND BY THE LIPS OF STRANGERS I WILL SPEAK TO THIS PEOPLE, AND EVEN SO THEY WILL NOT LISTEN TO ME," says the Lord. 22 So then tongues are for a sign, not to those who believe but to unbelievers; but prophecy is for a sign, not to unbelievers but to those who believe. 23 Therefore if the whole church assembles together and all speak in tongues, and ungifted men or unbelievers enter, will they not say that you are mad? 24 But if all prophesy, and an unbeliever or an ungifted man enters, he is convicted by all, he is called to account by all; 25 the secrets of his heart are disclosed; and so he will fall on his face and worship God, declaring that God is certainly among you. 26 What is the outcome then, brethren? When you assemble, each one has a psalm, has a teaching, has a revelation, has a tongue, has an interpretation. Let all things be done for edification. 27 If anyone speaks in a tongue, it should be by two or at the most three, and each in turn, and one must interpret; 28 but if there is no interpreter, he must keep silent in the church; and let him speak to himself and to God. 29 Let two or three prophets speak, and let the others pass judgment. 30 But if a revelation is made to another who is seated, the first one must keep silent. 31 For you can all prophesy one by one, so that all may learn and all may be exhorted; 32 and the spirits of prophets are subject to prophets; 33 for God is not a God of confusion but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints. There is an alternate interpretation to this discussion. I and millions of other christians believe as follows. First of all, I'm convinced that these two powers, speaking in tongues and phrophecy is just two of the powers bestowed on christians. Second, speaking in tongues just simply meant speaking God's Word in the first two centuries to people from all over the world through the Apostles or some select few who had never studied or spoken that language beforehand. Phropecy was an all inclusive power to speak God's Word as it applied to a new situation or in some cases to foretell the future. A prophet just as in the OT was merely a mouthpiece for God. Remember during this timeframe the NT was in the process of being written and being collected and dispersed throughout the world. The Bible clearly shows this endowment of miraculous powers from the Holy Spirit in ONLY two cases: Day of Pentacost in Acts 2 and onto Cornelius and his household in Acts 10. All other demonstrations of these powers (other than Apostles themselves) were manifested ONLY by those who received the "laying on of hands by the Apostles." So when all the Apostles died and all these other recipients died, it's clear that all these miraculous powers from human beings died with them. BUT just in case you or anyone else differs with this position, we do agree since we're Bible students that the Bible sets the standard and provides the characteristics to evaluate "miracles" from human beings in today's world, right? So we're talking about raising the dead after a several days of confirmed death, restoring a severed body part, enabling a person to see or to walk after a lifetime of not being able to enjoy these abilities. In other words, miracles must be feats of the supernatural, confirmed so that absolutely no one could possibly deny its coming from God. In this context, it's a little easier to understand verse 22. Speaking in tongues was done by God through those christians so that unbelievers would hear the Gospel and become believers. Prophecy was God speaking through christians to christians so they would know how to deal with the difficult issues confronting christians of that age without the NT and without the guidance of the Apostles in person at that moment. I hope this helps and God bless. --Rowdy |

46 | I need to find a passage in the Bible... | NT general Archive 1 | Rowdy | 122944 | ||
I believe you're looking for the following from Paul 1 Cor 10:11 Now these things happened to them as an example, and they were written for our instruction, upon whom the ends of the ages have come. 12 Therefore let him who thinks he stands take heed that he does not fall. 13 No temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man; and God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, so that you will be able to endure it. God bless. --Rowdy |

47 | Sodom destroyed. Repentance? | Gen 18:1 | Rowdy | 122931 | ||
The biggest example I can think of in support of EdB's point is the story of Ninevah and the message preached to them by Jonah. Remember Jonah DID NOT want to go and preach this message. Further than that, after doing so after being chastised by God inside a great fish for 3 days and nights, Jonah went to the hillside to watch the "fireworks" and the destruction of Ninevah. But to his disappointment, Ninevah (apparently the vast majority) did repent at Jonah's message from God and they DID save themselves from their own destruction. So you see, what the most important thing our Lord wants from us is our heart and attitude to be contrite and humble like the "man after God's own hear" King David. Hope this helps and God bless. --Rowdy |

51 | Rowdy, How were John/ Jesus obsessive? | 1 John 5:6 | Rowdy | 122858 | ||
I was comparing their ministries with man's standards. Since John was dressed with the clothing of a Nazarene and stayed out in the desert and almost everything said and done by Jesus was bizarre by human standards. The manner of His trial, death and ressurection alone make His life stand out as completely obsessed with His Father. God bless. --Rowdy |

52 | Candy making in the bible | Bible general Archive 2 | Rowdy | 122839 | ||
This is all I could find when I search for something with "sweet taste." Prov 24:13 My son, eat honey because it is good, And the honeycomb which is sweet to your taste; 14So shall the knowledge of wisdom be to your soul; If you have found it, there is a prospect, And your hope will not be cut off. I'm sure you already know the word candy is not in the Bible. So I would invite you to think up similar words like I did and do your own search. I don't think you going to find very much. God bless. --Rowdy |

53 | What is the apostacy? | 2 Thess 2:3 | Rowdy | 122836 | ||
Part 2 of 2 In my opinion and those of several million other Bible believing christians around the world, Paul was very concerned about this future event he referred to as the apostacy. He alluded to it briefly in Acts 20:30 as well as the scripture cited above to Timothy. He knew of the future and tried his best to prepare his "children" of the faith for it but it didn't do much good. Mankind doesn't have a very good track record for handling such controversies. That's why the Lord's pattern is so important to follow, that is each congregation having their own elders and deacons who share in the providing of leadership to the Lord's body throughout each generation since the beginning. Now, don't get me wrong or misunderstand. The original motivation, I'm convinced was as pure as driven snow. These men described in Part 1 had the best motives as they wanted to ensure uniformity and consistency throughout the whole church on a regional and even a world-wide scale. But they didn't know mankind's nature quite as well as our God and Father, the Creator who knows us better than we know ourselves. You see, with the Lord's pattern set up in the NT, an occasional instance of abuse of misunderstanding would be held to a minimum and thus not spread to other congregations or world wide. God knows when men are appointed over another group of men, there's always the opportunity for abuse and inevitably, some person will take that power too far and even set up rigid controls so as to keep that power contained and protected. So we as a planet have gone through the Reformation and the Restoration and learned many things about ourselves and man's basic nature. It didn't take a pyschology professor or a pyschiatrist to figure this out. It's just common sense; of course, being a parent, a Bible History student and going through a lifetime of experiences and world wide travel do help a great deal. Also please don't misunderstand my position about the Catholic organization or the Pope himself. I'd be the last person in the world to say anything bad about the Pope as he seems like a truly good human being but once again we ALL, including the Pope should be following God's Word with the knowledge that it's best for future generations. Yes, it's always possible that some person in the future could take the Pope's power and start some new phase of abuse and once again lead a bunch of people through more misunderstanding and abuse as in past centuries. Yeah, I know, you say it couldn't happen in this modern age and I'm thinking the folks before and during Martin Luther's lifetime thought the same way. It's ALWAYS best to follow God's Word. Once again, we see tremendous value in seeking and following God's pattern we see in His NT. Just as He provided in the OT, you can't go wrong by following his commands AND the examples He provides. I'd be interested in what you all think about this topic. God bless. --Rowdy |

54 | What is the apostacy? | 2 Thess 2:3 | Rowdy | 122834 | ||
My answer Part 1 of 2 from http://www.kosovo.com/history.html The Councils as the Manifestation of the Church Unity It was only natural that the bishops, who, as Cyprian emphasized, share in the one episcopate, should meet together in a council to discuss their common problems. Orthodoxy has always attached great importance to the place of councils in the life of the Church. It believes that the council is the chief organ whereby God has chosen to guide His people, and it regards the Catholic Church as essentially a conciliar Church. (Indeed, in Russian the same adjective soborry has the double sense of 'catholic' and 'conciliar', while the corresponding noun, sobor, means both 'church' and 'council'.) In the Church there is neither dictatorship nor individualism, but harmony and unanimity; its members remain free but not isolated, for they are united in love, in faith, and in sacramental communion. In a council, this idea of harmony and free unanimity can be seen worked out in practice. In a true council no single member arbitrarily imposes his wil1 upon the rest, but each consults with the others, and in this way they all freely achieve a 'common mind'. A council is a living embodiment of the essential nature of the Church. The first council in the Church's history is described in Acts xv. Attended by the Apostles, it met at Jerusalem to decide how far Gentile converts should be subject to the Law of Moses. The Apostles, when they finally reached their decision, spoke in terms which in other circumstances might appear presumptuous: 'It seemed right to the Holy Spirit and to us ...' (Acts xv, 28 Later councils have ventured to speak with the same confidence An isolated individual may well hesitate to say, 'It seemed right to the Holy Spirit and to me'; but when gathered in council, the members of the Church can together claim an authority which individually none of them possesses. The Council of Jerusalem, assembling as it did the leaders of the entire Church, was an exceptional gathering, for which there is no parallel until the Council of Nicaea in 325. But by Cyprian's time it had already become usual to hold local councils, attended by all the bishops in a particular civil province of the Roman Empire. A local council of this type normally met in the provincial capital, under the presidency of the bishop of the capital, who was given the title Metropolitan. As the third century proceeded, councils widened in scope and began to include bishops not from one but from several civil provinces. These larger gatherings tended to assemble in the chief cities of the Empire, such as Alexandria or Antioch; and so it came about that the bishops of certain great cities began to acquire an importance above the provincial Metropolitans. But for the time being nothing was decided about the precise status of these great sees. Nor during the third century itself did this continual expansion of councils reach its logical conclusion: as yet (apart from the Apostolic Council) there had only been local councils, of lesser or greater extent, but no 'general' council, formed of bishops from the whole Christian world, and claiming to speak in the name of the whole Church. Abridged, from Callistos Ware The Orthodox Church, p. 12- p. 16 Part 2 coming right up. --Rowdy |

Ray, my dear friend, I must admit you do seem to be just a little obsessed by this ministry of yours, as alluded to by Searcher. Maybe you've been called to this ministry but it seems to be dominating almost all your posts to the Forum, and thereby limiting the effectiveness of your posts if we on the Forum see it as being obsessive.

57 | Every nation from Noah's son? | Bible general Archive 2 | Rowdy | 122779 | ||
The only time that we know for certain God created people was in the beginning with Adam and Eve. As far as we can tell, everyone else was born in the traditional manner, inlcuding all those who lived after the flood. So I guess within that context, the answer to your question is Yes, all people on earth came from the 3 sons of Noah. But in answer to your question about Jews and Gentiles, No, prejudice between these two groups didn't arise until after the establishment of Israel as a nation. Sometime between then and the coming of Christ, they had built up a tremendous amount of jealousy for their God and didn't want to share Him with the rest of the world. As a matter of fact, it looks as though the Jews were completely satisfied with keeping Christianity to themselves until the persecution forced them to flee. That and the advent of Paul as an Apostle seems to be the only reason Christianity spread to the rest of the world. God made this very plain in Acts 10, that He wanted the whole world to partake of the gift of salvation as provided in the Lord's Last Will and Testament. Two major events in this Chapter 10 support this view: the Holy Spirit's baptism of Corneilus and his household AND Peter's vision. You still haven't stated what exactly are you looking for ultimately with this discussion. Could you elaborate? God bless. --Rowdy |

58 | date the Gospel of John was written | John 5:2 | Rowdy | 122763 | ||
I would have to agree with Emmaus statement about the earlier date. One thing that should be mentioned (reminded) is that these NT writers had the Holy Spirit assisting them. Remember, most of them, especially James, John and others were very poor and were not able to afford a thorough education like Matthew or Paul. Thus we see Acts 4:13 Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated and untrained men, they marveled. And they realized that they had been with Jesus. When we consider their level of education and yet see the tremendously high quality of their writings, I'm convinced that the Holy Spirit helped them in this regard. So the tenses of their statements would be as accurate as the current language with which they wrote could be. Hope this helps and God bless. --Rowdy |

59 | The rest of us? | Bible general Archive 2 | Rowdy | 122761 | ||
I'm not quite sure what you're asking here. I can quote to you that the whole world started all over again with the advent of the flood. So we're all an offspring of one of the sons of Noah. His sons' names were Ham, Shem and Japheth. Do you have some particular point with your question? It would be helpful if you could give us a little more information or background. And since this is a Bible Forum, what scripture(s) do you have in mind? God bless. --Rowdy |

60 | should communion be weekly | John 6:53 | Rowdy | 122757 | ||
In an effort to give this thread some balance, I must say there are a large number of christians who do observe the Lord's Supper or Communion every Sunday of their whole life as a christian. We Bible students should strive to read and understand God's Word at face value whenever possible and of course the Bible is its own best commentary. That is, see what God says throughout the Bible on a particular topic and consider the whole message. In this case the NT puts quite a bit of emphasis on the assembling of the christians in the first century with Heb 10:25. Further we see an emphasis on the first day of the week, especailly in contrast to the centuries of observing the sabbath. We know that the first century christians were meeting often, sometimes several days of the week but we see this emphasis on the first day of the week. From Paul we see 1 Cor 11:17 Now in giving these instructions I do not praise you, since you come together not for the better but for the worse. 18For first of all, when you come together as a church, I hear that there are divisions among you, and in part I believe it. 19For there must also be factions among you, that those who are approved may be recognized among you. 20Therefore when you come together in one place, it is not to eat the Lord's Supper. 21For in eating, each one takes his own supper ahead of others; and one is hungry and another is drunk. 22What! Do you not have houses to eat and drink in? Or do you despise the church of God and shame those who have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you in this? I do not praise you. 23 For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you: that the Lord Jesus on the same night in which He was betrayed took bread; 24and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, "Take, eat; this is My body which is broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me." 25In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me." 26For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death till He comes. It might be helpful to mention that Paul was giving these kinds of instructions to several different groups of christians around the world as we see in 1 Cor 16:1 Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given orders to the churches of Galatia, so you must do also: 2On the first day of the week let each one of you lay something aside, storing up as he may prosper, that there be no collections when I come. Now you may be confused by the citation of these scriptures together about the communion and giving but one of the common threads we see throughout the NT concerning the worship in the first century is the regularity and consistency as taught by the Apostles, especially by Paul. There's not a whole of scriptures with the phrase "first day of the week" but those few and the absence of any other day including the Sabbath implies that all christians were indeed worshiping on the same day, just as most christians do in today's world. Another point I'd like to draw from God's Word is the fact that God has from the beginning established a habit of giving His children (Jewish or christian) a pattern to follow. He gave Noah very explicit instructions to follow in building the ark. He gave very explicit instructions on the building of the temple and the procedures to follow in offering of sacrifices. Although the church of our Lord Jesus is amazingly simple in its organization, structure and worship, we do see this pattern of instruction from the Apostles so there would be unity as suggested in Eph 4:1 I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called, 2with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love, 3endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. 4There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling; 5one Lord, one faith, one baptism; 6one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. Remember our Lord's last prayer on this earth was for our sake as he was praying so earnestly for the unity of His disciples, christians, including you and me in this age and in the future. I do sincerely hope you'll continue to study this topic thoroughly and conclude with your own determination to follow and obey God completely. God bless. --Rowdy |
