41 | Is Catholic considered false religion? | Matt 15:6 | David_24597 | 71704 | ||
I would agree with you. As an establishment they will never change. Neither will the majority of those in that establishment. However, maybe (just maybe) some few individuals can read these things and change. That's the only reason to show these things to them isn't it?. If just one or two individuals decides to read and obey then our work is done. Wouldn't you agree? | ||||||
42 | what was the org. day of the sabbath | Matt 28:1 | David_24597 | 72226 | ||
Yes, the original Sabbath of the fourth Commandment was Saturday. It was changed by the Roman Cahtolic Church. Note the following quotes from the Catholic Church itself: "Question: Have you any other way of proving that the church has power to institute festivals of precept? "Answer: Had she not such power she could not have done that in which all modern religionists agree with her: she could not have substituted the observance of Sunday the first day of the week, for the observance of Saturday the seventh day, a change for which there is no Scriptural authority." A Doctrinal Catechism, by Rev. Stephen Keenan, page 174. "Question: What day was the Sabbath? "Answer: Saturday "Question: Who changed it? "Answer: The Catholic Church." From Rev. Dr. Butler's Catechism, Revised, Page 57. "It was the Catholic Church which, ...has transformed this rest to the Sunday in remembrance of the resurrection of our Lord. Thus the observance of Sunday by the Protestants is an homage they pay, in spite of themselves, to the authority of the (Catholic) Church." Plain Talk About the Protestants of Today, by Msgr. Segur, Page 213. The first Sunday law ever made was that issued by the Emperor Constantine, March 7, A.D. 321, which reads as follows: "Let all judges and town people, and the occupation of all trades rest on the venerable day of the sun; but let those who are situated in the country, freely and at full liberty, attend to the business of agriculture; because it often happens that no other day is so fit for sowing corn and planting vines; lest the critical moment being let slip men should lose the commodities granted by heaven." Corpus Juris Civilis Cod.: lib. 3, tit.12,3 So, far a little while, the christians of the time were keeping BOTH Saturaday AND Sunday as days of rest. In A.D. 364 the council of Laodicea forbade the observance of the seventh-day Sabbath: "Sabbath, Change of, Action of Council of Laodicea on A.D. 364 – Christians shall not Judaize and be idle on Saturday (Sabbath, original) but shall work on that day; but the Lord's day they shall especially honor, and, as being Christians, shall, if possible, do no work on that day. If, however, they are found Judaizing, they shall be shut out from Christ." A History of the Councils of the Church: from the Original Documents, Rt. Rev. Charles Joseph Hefele, D.D., Bishop of Rottenburg, book 6, sec. 93, canon 29 (Vol. II, page 316). Edinburgh: T and T Clark, 1896. From this point on the Sabbath of the fourth Commandment was forsaken in favor of the pagan sabbath on Sunday. |

43 | do you have eternal or temporal life? | John 10:28 | David_24597 | 72368 | ||
I would agree with that. If a person becomes saved and then refuses to "follow on to know the Lord" (Hos. 6:3) he CAN loose his salvation. Hos. 4:6 also states that the saved (God's people) can be destroyed because they reject the knowledge given to them. Even Heb. 6:4-6 (especially verse 6) shows that Jesus CANNOT be crucified a second time. Once the first time has been accomplished (accepted) a second repentance is impossible. Now I know that a righteous man falls many times (Prov. 24:16) yet gets back up again. This text in Heb. 6 (also Heb. 10:26-27) would then indicate a falling away and a REFUSAL to repent from it. |

45 | How do I make sense of the context? | Acts 8:13 | David_24597 | 69802 | ||
ooohhhh, now I have to type everything in again!!!!! Hey Joe, Do you have any scriptural references showing that Rom. 3:25 only refers to sins commited BEFORE Jesus went to the cross? I am well aware that Jesus' death on the cross was done once for all. But I wasn't alive back then. NOW is the acceptable time. NOW is the day of salvation. NOW is the time I choose to repent and follow Jesus. Each and every day is a new day with new sins and new repentance. My christian life is one of continous growth. Sure I will stumble at times and fall, but never give up. Pick yourself up again and keep going. Two steps forward, one step back if you have to. Crawl if you have to. Just DON'T GIVE UP. I think those texts in Heb. that mention drawing back and crucifying Jesus a second time refer to those that fall and DON'T get up. |

Actually, you need to make up your mind. No offense, but it sounds like on the one hand you say Jesus' sacrifice was only for those sins commited BEFORE His death on the cross. Rom. 3:25. Then you turn around and say His death is for ALL sins, for ALL time. I DO believe that His death is for ALL SINS, for ALL TIME. But only our PAST sins (the ones we have repented of) are forgiven. Sins we have not laid down at Jesus' cross are not forgiven. Even though the opportunity for forgiveness is given through Jesus. Yes, I believe that I am saved by Jesus' obedience and death on the cross. I also believe that I must join hands with Him to "work out my own salvation..." It is a conjuction of Jesus' actions with my own actions that saves me. With the help of the Holy Spirit (AND Jesus' sacrifice) this IS possible. This is what Rom. 8 means. Once we make our own commitment to follow Jesus, no one can seperate us from God. |

We have freeedom of choice. If we CHOOSE not to follow God and repent from our sins we will not recieve any redemption. God will not force us to recieve redemption if we choose not to. Yes, our salvation IS a co-effort between us and God. God did His part. We must do ours. James chapter 2 | ||||||
48 | How do I make sense of the context? | Acts 8:13 | David_24597 | 69859 | ||
It's really quiet obvious once you think about it. Jesus' death on the cross made it possible for us to recieve redemption. If we CHOOSE not to receive it though, God will not force it on us. We must make the choice to accept Jesus' sacrifice as our payment for our sins. That is US working WITH God for our salvation. I know we are saved by grace through faith. Read James chapter 2 to see that faith is made perfect through our works. Works are required to show others our faith. Faith is not dead or blind. We are saved by grace THROUGH faith. Without faith it is impossible to please God. | ||||||
49 | How do I make sense of the context? | Acts 8:13 | David_24597 | 69861 | ||
I pray for the lost to repent and be saved. I pray for God to listen to them when they DO repent. God WILL NOT take away an individual's freedom of choice. If He would do that then Satan would never have fallen in the first place and ALL of God's creations are nothing more than slaves to a dictator. I REFUSE to believe that. Adam and Eve were given a choice whether or not to eat of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Noah was given the choice to build the ark. Abraham was given a choice to follow God. We are given a choice to repent or not. Jos. 24:15; Isa. 7:15 just to name a few. If I have no freedom of choice then I would rather die than live as a slave forever. I could go on and on here but I think these things are pretty obvious. | ||||||

Joe, are you saying that God will grant us salvation even if we don't want it? If God wants us to be saved and we reject it, are we still saved? | ||||||

I would agree with that wade???. I'm new to this forum (just joined a day or so ago) and don't know how to navigate it to view all those other posts you mentioned. I have heard though of the "once saved always saved" theory (about 20 years ago) and decided then that it wasn't Biblical (just some texts taken out of context and human supposition added to them to make them say something they really don't). There's too many other verses in the Bible that show that this theory is wrong. Get yourself a good concordance and try to argue the other side for a while LOL. Sometimes I do that myself. Approach the subject from every angle you can think of and find ALL the Bible texts that talk about this same subject. It will take you several days though LOL but in the end you will know exactly what the Bible says about it. | ||||||

54 | Who can Baptize you? Does it matter? | Rom 10:9 | David_24597 | 71801 | ||
Actually, to me, baptism is an outward showing to all that you have accepted your salvation. It doesn't matter to me what denomination someone is baptised in. I agree though that it should be by immersion, not a little sprinkle LOL. Also it is an adult decision, not something that a baby could consent to. | ||||||
55 | Isn't Baptism neccessary for salvation?? | Rom 10:9 | David_24597 | 72721 | ||
Consider that the thief on the cross didn't have a chance to get baptised. Neither would babies and children. Yet if they die BEFORE they have the chance to, I would assume that they will be in heaven too. I guess baptism is for those that are able to, whenever possible. God is the judge not me. Just because someone who believes (if they are given the chance to believe) dies BEFORE they can be baptised does not mean they are not saved. |

56 | Must Christ have had a human nature? | Phil 2:7 | David_24597 | 72093 | ||
Of course Jesus was completely and totaly human. How else could His sacrifice have been of any benefit to the human race? Rom. 5:12 and 17 kinda hints at this. Jesus also didn't even have any knowledge of being our Creator when He was born. He had to "learn" Isa. 7:15-16 and Luke 2:40 and 52. (Don't get me wrong John chapter 1 shows that Jesus created all things. He is our Creator.) He also proved to all the universe that God's law CAN be kept. Satan had cast doubt on God's word and Jesus proved that God was right and Satan was wrong. Had Jesus ever commited even one sin His death could not have been for our sins but for His own sin and everyone would know that it was impossible to obey what God asks. Jesus did not just save humans. He saved all of God's creations from anarchy and satanic rule. Sorry, I can't think of any references for this right now. Just my humble opinion. But Heb. 1:2 and 11:3 mention the existence of other worlds besides our own. Surely they were affected by Satan's rebellion (though our own world is the only one that has fallen). | ||||||
57 | Before or after the return of Christ? | 1 Thess 4:16 | David_24597 | 72176 | ||
Prayon, where does the Bible teach a "seven year" tribulation? Rev. 18:8 coupled with Isa. 34:8 and 63:4 shows it only one year. Also what Bible references do you have for this "rapture"? You do know of course that I Thess. 4:16-18 shows that the saints are resurrected at the "last trump"? Wouldn't this be the "first resurrection" of Rev. 20 at the beginning of the 1,000 years? |
||||||
58 | Before or after the return of Christ? | 1 Thess 4:16 | David_24597 | 72180 | ||
Pemican, please show me some specific references for your post. Where does is say this "millenial reign" will take place on the earth? Don't the saved meet Jesus "in the air" when He comes? I Thess 4:16-18. The only reference I can find about Jesus actually touching the earth is in Zech. 14:4-13 where it also mentions the final destruction of the wicked. This would HAVE to happen at the "second" resurrection at the end of the 1,000 years Joel 3:9-16 with Rev. 20. Please supply references with your posts. Thx. | ||||||
59 | who are the 144,000 | Rev 7:3 | David_24597 | 72541 | ||
What about a fourth: That there will only be 144,000 "true christians" alive during the tribulation? Aren't all numbers used literally, even if associated with a symbol? What about the FOUR beasts of Dan. 7? The TEN horns of Dan. 7; Rev. 12; 13; 17 and 18 ? What about the "70" weeks of Dan. 9 ? All these numbers are literal even though associated with a symbol. How do you know that there will be MORE than 144,000 of the saved left alive on the earth at this time? |
||||||
60 | a list of the prophetic symbols | Rev 17:15 | David_24597 | 72543 | ||
I don't see how any of the instances in these verses you mentioned indicate what the sea is. Nor would these verses be changed in anyway by associating "people, nations, multitudes and tongues" to them. (Save for perhaps Rev. 4:6 the sea of glass - and Rev. 8:8-9; 14:7 and 16:3 which seem to be a literal sea, not symbolic) What else besides Rev. 17:15 describes what the "sea" represents? |
