41 | Is the 7th "day" still going on? | Heb 4:6 | Glory Bound | 132108 | ||
"the rest from striving to earn our salvation." What did I miss? Who "earns" salvation? Surely you do not mean that you believe anyone actually "earns" salvation as you stated. For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. Eph 2:8-9 GB |

42 | Do all men belong to God? | Job 33:6 | Glory Bound | 131921 | ||
"puts a big hole in the "free will" concept.." True, He has mercy on whom He desires, and He hardens whom He desires, yet whom of us can distinguish. For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Rom 3:23-24 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end "shall be saved." Mat 10:22 And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved? But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but "with God all things are possible." Mat 19:24-26 Things aren’t as glum and dreary as many would lead us to believe, for He takes no pleasure in the punishment of the wicked. Were it not for that "free will," He would have it that we all would be saved. Many, such as Pharaoh and Judas were raised up for a particular purpose. Likewise, so were Moses and Jacob. So then He has mercy on whom He desires, and He hardens whom He desires. Rom 9:18. For what purpose were you raised up? GB |

I take no offence. I would recommend a good book though. "While Men Slept" by Kerby F Fannin, PD.D. It gives a good history of the origin of various denominations, including the Catholic and their shenanigans, as well as those of many other denominations. Personally I feel sorry for the countless hoards who are either too illiterate or downright lazy, to get into the Word for themselves. This covers ALL denominations, Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, and on and on... What I do take offence at, are the professed Christians who, anyone who has ever studied scripture can see straight through. It is absolutely amazing how many will follow them. I guess it's a matter of charisma. It is sad though, that people don't realize that the enemy is often filled to overflowing with such. Thank you my friend. Weary and frustrated as we may become in this battle, we must not give up. For He who is in us is stronger and mightier than he who is in the world. Without Him, we are nothing. We can do nothing. So what does that say about those we battle? God Bless GB |

The tone indicated in your note dear friend, causes me to loose all interest in discussing the matter with you. Such a tone automatically puts me in mind of 2 Ti 2:24. Your tone is quite contrary to that passage. It invites what we are told we "MUST NOT DO." God Bless GB |

OK. Thanks for the additional enlightenment. James 5:16 makes it much clearer. You have most definantly sparked a topic of research for me concerning John 20:23. Though I have read it many times, I have never fully understood it. It is time for that understanding on my part. I'm still curious concerning the praying to the saints though. GB |

47 | Denounce militant Islam? | Matt 5:44 | Glory Bound | 131551 | ||
Your devotional hit the nail on the head. There are so many hypocrites who do not even come close to knowing the true meaning of the word... Likewise there are many professed Christians who do not even come close to knowing the true meaning of the LIFE. GB |

But Tim... "Why are Christians so scared to denounce militant Islam?" Why do we not take the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation, the sword and the breastplate of righteousness and "denounce militant Islam?" For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him. 1Th 5:9 -10 How can we not care for the souls of the countless thousands who are so misled by such as the Quran? Not to mention its slanderous attack on the very foundation of Christianity, Jesus Christ Himself? I purchased a Quran only to see for myself what it says concerning our Savior. After a quick word search of the name Jesus, I did not have to read very far before I realized that I didn’t need to read any farther. Personally, after having only read a minute portion of the Quran, though I do love the followers, I detest the book. It is a true work of Satan. I cannot understand how anyone who has ever read that book does not understand the bigotry, hatred and murder it spawns against all who believe contrary or see the truth of its origin. Is it only our inheritance with which we are to be concerned, or should we not sew and defend the truth of THE WORD, that the harvest might be more plentiful? Should we not “fight the good fight” where the Islamic faith itself is concerned? GB |

THE True Church? Catholic?!?! Would THE True Church not be the Church founded by the Apostles? Was that Church Catholic, Protestant or Jewish? I doubt that it was either. It was CHRISTian. Christ centered. I would attest that whatever the Church, be it Catholic, Protestant, Jewish or Full Gospel, if Christ is its foundation, then it is THE true Church. What I fail to understand is why this simple fact is not understood by all. In this day of apostasy, false prophesy and false teachers, it is apparent that it is not the true Church, which is in question. The question should concern the sincerity and familiarity with THE WORD of those who profess. Isn’t the Church a collective body of Christians, or of those who profess to believe in Christ, and acknowledge him to be the Savior of mankind? Aren’t the professors (those who profess to be Christians) the Church? I would put all in mind of what Christ stated in John 15:5 “I am the Vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, the same brings forth much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.” And what Paul said in 1Co 12:11-12 But the one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing separately to each one as He desires. For as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body; so also is Christ. The phrase “THE true Church”, formulates the following picture in my mind. I can see my foot saying to my ear, “I am THE true member of this body.” If one would ask, which is “THE true collective body of Christian?” I expect there would be just as much debate on the matter. Can we not ALL simply come together and “know them by the fruits they bare”? GB |

I see no connection between John 20:22-23 and any of my questions. I have no doubt that even the Catholics haven't anyone amoung them whom Jesus breathed on at the time this scripture reflects. Can you be a little more specific? All who are saved have recieved the Holy Spirit. Acts Chapter 2. Dear soul, are you a devout Catholic? If so, can you not answer my simple questions? Thanks for trying. GB |

Personally, I currently have absolutely no desire to read anything you recommend, either pro or anti Catholic. Nor do I desire to fit the classification you consider scholarly, by doing such. I simply asked a couple questions out of curiosity. If you aren't qualified to answer them, so be it. GB |

Steve. Without injecting opinion, can you please quote the scripture that supports your statement? Isn't a "non believer" not a Christian? What of the Believer who is (married) to the "non Believer?" One could also state that a heathen marriage is when a heathen man marries a heathen woman. Likewise an American marriage is when an American man marries an American women, and so on. Is this what you are stating? GB |

Your note is well understood and agreed on. I'd have to say that Love is the most important but, that truth has a place where LOVE is concerned. I would interject my thoughts concerning your first example. I'd have to say, "Grandmother, I love you and appreciate the cookies you made for me, but what did you put in them?" Who knows, she may have accidentally used powdered bleach in place of sugar, and it may severly affect someone else. Most assuredly, the root of our being is to be LOVE. Yet too many confuse the fact that truth is an ingredient where love is concerned. Is not LOVE truth? I look on truth as a seasoning where LOVE is concerned. It is necessary. Some do not like salt. Others do. Some require more salt than others. Even still, many require garlic, or pepper as a seasoning. Where LOVE is concerned, TRUTH is a necessary ingredient, but as with any seasoning, there can be too much or too little. In Christ GB |

Tim, your words are filled with wisdom. As I read them, I couldn't help but to think that we are told that we should be as Christ. I expect you have probably had those two statements aimed at you at one time or another. I have been the recipient of those particular statements, and many which were much more derogatory. It is of a certainty that anyone who, like you and I, stand on the "Unleavened Word," has endured such. I like your thought that "what I am presenting isn't MY TRUTH! It is God's truth. Therefore, I don't have to take it personally if His truth is rejected by someone. It falls in line with my thought that the "if the recipient doesn't like the message, they should take it up with the originator; not the messenger." I am always open to truth. Most whom I converse with think they have it. I do not claim to be anyone special where the Word is concerned, but I do know the truth, and a lie or "half truth," which is also a lie, when I see it. I'm sorry but I just can't keep my mouth shut when I see lies and half truths where the Word is concerned. As many should, themselves consider, I am still in the process of honing my method of delivery though. What amazes me is when someone comes to these boards; asks a question; then wants to argue the answer. Those, I feel are rarely interested in the truth. They only wish to twist it. I only respond to such posts in hopes that others will see the truth. I wonder how often the Sewer has sewn in what appeared to be fertile soil, only to find that the seeds that fell along the way produced the more. GB |

As usual Tim, your words are pure. Tim, I too am familiar with those to whom you refer concerning their insulting posts. However, I would attest that there are occasions when the naked truth is insulting. But when ones nakedness is revealed, should they not do something other than defend their nakedness? When one makes ignorant statements concerning scripture, and then refuses scriptural instruction, I should think that the instructor would be expected to either "give up" on that person, or present the truth in a more firm manor. My biggest mistake is that I do not like to give up where scriptural truth is concerned.Perhaps I added a little more seasoning than I should. I apologize only to any who may have misunderstood my intentions. I make no apologies concerning any of my statements to this individual. As I intend to take your thoughts to heart, "If ones intentions are pure, will they not listen to correction?" Thank you Tim GB |

Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear. 1Ti 5:20 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. 2Ti.4:3-4 Apparently you do not understand His words, It is no surprise that you do not understand mine.
