41 | Jesus and Jehovah-same subject? | John 1:1 | jg8ball | 1611 | ||
Thanks again. He believes that Jesus is the Son of God, not God. He can't comprehend how the two can be the same. I've shown him Heb 1:8-12 and he admits that he has no answer for it and will ask his elders (which could get him into much trouble) I'm currently showing him the many verses that tell us that we are to worhship only God and verses that talk about worshiping Jesus. This too has him thinking a little more. Not sold yet, but at least thinking on his own (instead of through the watchtower) He admits that the JW's have been wrong before but points to the many errors other denominations have made like the spanish inquisitions. |

42 | "even" is confusing. | John 1:12 | jg8ball | 329 | ||
The greek word used for the phrase "[even] to those who believe" is "pisteuo" which translates to "to believe, to put one's faith in, trust". I believe the word "even" was added by the KJV authors. Look up in your Bible to see what it means when you see a word in square brackets. When you believe in His name, you will recieve him. |

43 | How is that implied in "pisteuo"? | John 1:12 | jg8ball | 337 | ||
I don't know why that would be implied. Maybe the translators wanted to stress that you had to believe to receive and at that time it was translated everyone knew that's what was implied. But now it could take on different meaning and confuse things. (just a guess - maybe there's someone out there that can explain it better) That's why I primarily use the NIV and not the KJV and NASB as my main source (although I will reference other versions from time to time). |

44 | Should Paul haver gone to Jerusalem? | Acts | jg8ball | 339 | ||
If God wants you to deliver a message, you'd best do it. Look what Jonah went through when he tried to run away. | ||||||
45 | Stay marriaed at all costs? | 1 Cor 7:15 | jg8ball | 38861 | ||
I think God would not object to you leaving your husband in this circumstance. If you have tried all that you can and the abuse still continues, then what good can come from staying together. If you were both non-believers when married and you became a believer, you are now a new person (in Christ) and if you are unable to resolve the brutality, then you have no option to leave to situation less you fall victom. If you were a believer and he was not when married, (even though Paul warned against this), I can't believe that our God of Love would want you to remain in this situation if all attempts (including seeking help from others) has failed. If you both thought you were believers when married, then I think you were deceived. How could a true believer in Christ act the way you describe? I hope your example was hypothetical but if not, I pray that God gives you the courage to do what He would have you do. |

46 | COULD A BELIEVER LOSE THEIR SALVATION? | Hebrews | jg8ball | 1129 | ||
Yes, a person could renounce their salvation - although I don't know why one would. Please see my posting to JVH0212 starting "Sorry JVH0212, but I can't ..." for biblical references |
||||||
47 | I agree with you 100 percent. But... | Hebrews | jg8ball | 1130 | ||
I must disagree with you. I think a person could renounce their salvation - although I don't know why one would. Please see my posting to JVH0212 starting "Sorry JVH0212, but I can't ..." for biblical references |

48 | Snatch? | Hebrews | jg8ball | 1179 | ||
Thanks for your response charis. I am taking the point that it is possible for a saved person to renounce their salvation while my friend bjanko believes that would be impossible. I've asked bjanko how he would interpret 2 Peter 2:20, but as of yet, he refuses to. I would also like to hear your interpretation though. I've read many of your postings and respect your opinions. |

49 | When are we saved? | Hebrews | jg8ball | 1193 | ||
As usuall, very well said. Thank you again. I like your term "baby on Daddy's knee". I use the term "Sunday Christians" in a similar context. We should always be striving to grow in our faith. For me, it helps to see and hear the opinions of others - expecially conflicting ones. Sometimes the views of others show me where I'm wrong, sometimes they show me that both could be correct, and sometimes they cause me to get a deeper and better understanding of what I believed because I spend more time looking for verses (trying to keep them in context) that prove or disprove. I just need to work on not getting so frustrated. |

50 | When are we 'securely' saved? | Hebrews | jg8ball | 1199 | ||
We are "securely" saved when we enter Heaven. Although I can safely say that I am saved now and can't imagine that changing, I don't know my future. |
||||||
51 | What abt Rom 8 and 1 Jn 2? | Hebrews | jg8ball | 1228 | ||
Ok, maybe "really easy" was not the best possible words to use. I was thinking about the exodus from Egypt when it appeared really easy for the Hebrews to forget what God had done for them. The really easy kind of stuck in my mind. If it would make you happy, then I'll change it to "possible". I've already stated my views on the other verses and won't bother you with them again - unless of course you'd again like to see that there is another possible (really easy) interpretation. Also, (and I'm not calling YOU a Calvinist but am using the term to define a group of people that lean more to the general Calvin beliefs) there was another thread which stated that Calvinists believe that children are lost as opposed to the Arminian belief that children are saved. Do you know if this is true? And is this also your belief? |

52 | Do those in heaven know what's happening | Heb 12:1 | jg8ball | 672 | ||
I don't think that this was meant to be interpreted that way and since there are no other passages that mention that we are watched from Heaven (at least none that I am aware of), I would tend to interpret it more as way to mention all the great and faithfull people mentioned in the previous chapter. Although I don't think this verse talks about it, I am posting a question about a similar topic in reference to a tv show called "Crossing Over". |

53 | Dwell with your wife with understanding? | 1 Pet 3:7 | jg8ball | 678 | ||
In my opinion, Peter is just telling the husband and wife to live a loving and faithful life. Specifically, he's telling the husband that the wife (keep in mind the time period this was written and how women were generally treated) is not as versed in the ways of the world and of God (at least publically), and she is not able to "bring home the bacon" like the husband is, but the husband should be understanding and realize that she is equal to the husband when it comes to the grace of life. | ||||||
54 | ...by His grace, right? | 2 Peter | jg8ball | 1119 | ||
Who's other grace is there? Thanks. | ||||||
