MrHappyface, Consider The Fall. It was our original parents that sinned against God. Nevertheless God Almighty decreed that their children, throughout the ages were cursed from birth with a carnal nature! Please explain. Thanks, Hopalong |

43 | Lack of faith | Rom 10:14 | hopalong | 191181 | ||
From The apostle Paul 1 Cor 2:14 But a natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually appraised. The aostle John records the teaching of our Lord as saying : "No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him..." (John :44) Hopalong |

45 | Why Jesus die And Us asleep | 2 Cor 5:21 | hopalong | 200046 | ||
DeardrewBoy, Good question! Jesus died so that we would not have to die.Death is the penalty for sin. 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. Jesus suffered death so that we would not have to suffer it ourselves. Hopalong |

Rom 9:1 I am telling the truth in Christ, I am not lying, my conscience testifies with me in the Holy Spirit, Rom 9:2 that I have great sorrow and unceasing grief in my heart. Rom 9:3 For I could wish that I myself were accursed, separated from Christ for the sake of my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh, Rom 9:4 who are Israelites, to whom belongs the adoption as sons, and the glory and the covenants and the giving of the Law and the temple service and the promises, Rom 9:5 whose are the fathers, and from whom is the Christ according to the flesh, who is over all, God blessed forever. Amen. Rom 9:6 But it is not as though the word of God has failed. For they are not all Israel who are descended from Israel; Rom 9:7 nor are they all children because they are Abraham's descendants, but: "THROUGH ISAAC YOUR DESCENDANTS WILL BE NAMED." Rom 9:8 That is, it is not the children of the flesh who are children of God, but the children of the promise are regarded as descendants. Rom 9:9 For this is the word of promise: "AT THIS TIME I WILL COME, AND SARAH SHALL HAVE A SON." Rom 9:10 And not only this, but there was Rebekah also, when she had conceived twins by one man, our father Isaac; Rom 9:11 for though the twins were not yet born and had not done anything good or bad, so that God's purpose according to His choice would stand, not because of works but because of Him who calls, 3 Matt 1:21 "She will bear a Son; and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins." 1 Matt 24:31 "And He will send forth His angels with A GREAT TRUMPET and THEY WILL GATHER TOGETHER His elect from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other ... those whom God has chosen (jew and gentile alike) are those who will be granted the gift of salvation.

48 | What was the purpose of the law? | Gal 3:23 | hopalong | 187304 | ||
The pupose of the law was to deprive mankind of the possablity of becoming righteous thru works. 1 Cor 15:56 The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law; Before Paul came head to head with the commandment not to covet, he had believed that he was righteous. But the commandment knocked him off his high hoss and left him dead and lying in the dust. Rom 7:9 I was once alive apart from the Law; but when the commandment came, sin became alive and I died; Hopalong |

49 | God grant repentance? | Gal 3:23 | hopalong | 187395 | ||
"Question (full): Regarding 2 Tim 2:25, what do you mean when you say, "Apart from God's "granting" no one has any desire to repent." Three observations: 1. To, as you seem to suggest, grant one the "desire" to repent does not necessarily follow that he/she will repent. 2. It doesn't say God grants them the "desire" to repent but that "God may grant them repentance". 3. TEV translates it: "God may give them the opportunity to repent". This is my understanding of the verse." ---------------------------------------------- Point 1.How can it be that one be granted a change in their nature, but exhibit no sign that their nature has been changed? Unrepentance is not a habit or an attitude. It is one of the hallmarks of the natural man. The natural man does not recive the things of God. Therefore, God must change that nature to one that will accept the things neccesary for eternal life. Point 2.Indeed, God does not grant all men this gift. It is God who has chosen us.1 Cor 1:27,28 Point 3.I prefer the NASB and ESV who stay as close to the original language as possible. This reduces the chance of the translator's pre-suppossitions leading away from what was originaly meant. Hoppy |

54 | how do i get control of my will? | Colossians | hopalong | 207837 | ||
Welcome to the Army of God! make no mistake, we are at war against the world,the flesh and the devil.! Our enemy knows our weak spots and he uses them to break down our resistance. I know , because he has used them, not only on you, but on each and every person who has made Christ his king. As in all wars, there are those who are wounded (thats the bad news), the good news is that those who have been called by The KING, are never killed! Now, I am an old soldier, and I have been wound more times than I care to think about. Nevertheless, my advice is , don' t don't fall for the same trick twice. the enemy of your King will use the same tactics over and over again until they no longer work. His favorite temptation he used against our first parents in the garden. Which was to plant into their minds a doubt as to what God has said ! In the case of sexual sin, he says "whats wrong with looking at beautiful women on the internet? How can that be a sin? afterall, did't God create these women? It's a scam! Run as fast as you can to the Rock of your salvation where the enemy of your soul cannot you! There fortify yourself by learning how much your king loves you. PS don't sweat the smoking. It certainly is a bad habit, but it is not a sin. Fight the Good Fight, Hopalong |

55 | Can we say Christs return is imminent? | 2 Thess 2:3 | hopalong | 187779 | ||
Howdy M, I am of the bunch that are known as amillenianists. Our eschotological position holds that the church has been in the period called the "Tribulation" since the Ascension. Therefore, our understanding of the scripture allows us to expect the "Second Coming" to occur at any moment. 1. Distinctive Features and Emphases: a. The "a" millennial (literally meaning "no" millennium) position is the eschatological view of historic Catholic, Lutheran and Reformed Christianity. It would be my educated guess that about two-thirds of the Christian family espouse an amillennial eschatology. The amillennial position is as well the position of the vast majority of Reformed and Lutheran theologians. The position portrayed in these lectures is the Reformed understanding of amillennialism, which is better understood as "present" millennialism [or "realized" millennialism], since Reformed eschatology argues for a real, present, though "invisible" non-spatial millennium. b. Amillennialists insist that the promises made to national Israel, David and Abraham, in the OT are fulfilled by Christ and the Church during this age, which is the millennium, that is the entire period of time between the two advents of our Lord. The "thousand years" are therefore symbolic of the entire inter-advental age. Satan is bound by Christ's victory over him and the establishment of the kingdom of God via the preaching of the gospel, and Satan is no longer free to deceive the nations, through the presence of Christ is reigning in heaven during this period with the martyrs who come out of the great tribulation. At the end of the millennial age, Christ returns in judgement of all men. The general resurrection occurs, final judgement takes place for all men and women, and a new Heaven and Earth are established. C. In most forms of amillennialism, immediately before the return of Christ, Satan is unbound, there is a great apostasy, and a time of unprecedented satanically inspired evil. This last Satanic gasp and subsequent rebellious activity is destroyed by our Lord at his return. (http://www.fivesolas.com/esc_chrt.htm) Come quickly Lord Jesus! Hoppy |

Howdy M, 1 John 3:8 .... The Son of God appeared for this purpose, to destroy the works of the devil. Our Lord and Savior accomplished all that His Father had sent Him to accomplish. With His last breath, He proclaimed "it is finished." His Ressurection from the dead marked a new era in Creation called the Millenium.

57 | Was the Holy Spirit present in OT? | 2 Thess 2:6 | hopalong | 203394 | ||
For what does the Scripture say? "And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness." 4Now to the one who works, his wage is not reckoned as a favor, but as what is due. 5But to the one who does not work, but believes in Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is reckoned as righteousness, 6just as David also speaks of the blessing upon the man to whom God reckons righteousness apart from works: 7"Blessed are those whose lawless deeds have been forgiven, and whose sins have been covered. 8"Blessed is the man whose sin the Lord will not take into account" (Rom. 4:3-8). Dear Searcher, Thanks for brining up this question. Jesus taught "John 3:5 Jesus answered, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom of God." Therefore my conclusion is that...Yes, The Holy Sprit was not only present, but active in raising to spiritual life those whom The Father had chosen to be His own. |

58 | How can we be sure we are right? | 1 Tim 6:3 | hopalong | 188136 | ||
Hi M, you ask... 1.Is there therefore only gospel/doctrine that we should abide in? Ans: the doctrine that is found between the covers of your Bible! That doctrine and that doctrine alone! 2. With so many doctrines/denominations, all professing to be right, how can we be sure that we are in Gods will/doctrine/gospel? By checking out the Scriptural foundation which the denomination provides. Praise God for, has not left us alone, but has endowed us with the gift of Holy Spirit. Gen 40:8 Then they said to him, "We have had a dream and there is no one to interpret it." Then Joseph said to them, "Do not interpretations belong to God? PRAY! Pray without ceasing, not relying on our own ability but on He that has the power to enlighten our blind eyes, and to show us the magnificent beauty and truth which He has blessed us to understand. God bless, Hopalong PS: I don't know of any truly "christian" denomination that proclaims that they are infallible in their interpretation. |
