42 | Ten commandments should be obeyed . | 1 John 2:4 | In the Andes | 53718 | ||
I'm sorry, I must completely disagree with just about everything you said. Yes, the 10 have been set aside in favor of a new covenant. Please read, Romans, 2 Corinthians, Ephesians, Colossians, Galatians and Hebrews. Our NEW COVENANT, has but 1 commandment. That is the Commandment of love. Rom-Jude teach us how to live out that new covenant. It is NOT in the OT that the Father is revealed. But in the NEW. Jesus came and clearly showed us the Father. That was unheard of in the OT. He was God to them. Not Father. They were NOT born again. Read the gospel of John, YOU ARE OF YOUR FATHER THE DEVIL (john 8). Read 1 John. NOW WE ARE CHILDREN OF GOD. All OT saints were servants, NOT Children. I enjoy seeing God's faithfulness to His people in the OT. It encourages me and blesses me. I learn from there mistakes. (1 Cor 10) But I do NOT go there to find His relationship with me. His Spirit is in me, He has written His laws in my heart and poured out fully His spirit and Love there. People who spend too much time in the OT are often overly critical, judgemental and eager to see God punish wickedness. See Jonah. Most often you hear them saying things like, "God is Judging America for her sin" Listen, God told Abraham He would spare Sodom and Gammorah if He could find 10 righteous people. Hey, you can find 10 righteous people in every church on every corner in every city in every state. |

43 | image of God | Gen 1:26 | In the Andes | 53713 | ||
Hey Mac, I've got a question. You said that man is born with a spirit that's separated from God. Wouldn't that mean that all babies die and go to hell? Rom. 7:9, how does that factor. I WAS Alive once without the law... |

44 | Why have kids when... | Gen 1:22 | In the Andes | 53712 | ||
I believe that if you obey the word, and train up a child in the way he should go he will not depart from it. See what Paul told Timothy in 2 tim 3:14-15. Besides, the reason I'd never ask an armenian that question is because that question doesn't present a conflict between doctrine and practice. And if I did you wouldn't have presented me with much to respond to. That would be no fun. (See my response to "inmyheart".) |

My dad doesn't believe that God is arbitrarily sending people to hell. HE BELIEVES 2 PETER 3:9 AND 1 TIM 2:4 If he didn't you're right, I wouldn't be asking this question. |

46 | Why have kids when... | Gen 1:22 | In the Andes | 53710 | ||
Sickness, death, etc, don't eternally separate you to eternal hellfire. Right? The question was not what if...But why would. If you believe that everything that happens is the will of God, You MUST conclude that your eternal destiny is also preset and prearranged by God. With NO possibility of altering it. I love children. If I believed that God might send one of my kids to hell, I'd NEVER have them. My point is, I don't think that anyone has ever thought their doctrine through to it's logical conclusion. It would be playing russian rulet with a life. In connection with that, It doesn't seem really consistent. I mean, it's like saying..."Uncle Bob died of a heart attack. The Lord took him home. And at the same time beginning an exercise program to ensure that we aren't overweight and die that way too." Which is it? God's will or the fact that uncle Bob weight 300 lbs? |

47 | Can one who commits suicide be saved? | Ex 20:13 | In the Andes | 53659 | ||
sure, you'd only commit suicide if you were mentally sick. You'd never say, a person that dies of cancer couldn't be saved. Sick in body and sick in head are both sicknesses. if you are not born again you wont go to heaven. God's not going to send a person to hell cause they were sick. I think that's an old catholic tradition. |

Oh my gosh! See that's exaclty what I mean. Christians freak out when you say that God desires to bless His children with stuff, and the very reason for it is to be a blessing. I say, Prosperity without purpose is poison. But According to Gen 12:1-3 Part of the Blessing of Abraham was, "I will bless you and in you ALL THE FAMILIES OF THE EARTH SHALL BE BLESSED." I believe that financial success is essential to every born again believer for that very purpose. To be a blessing, to provide for their own 1 tim 5:8, to provide for his brother 1 john 3:17, to provide for the Poor Gal 2:10, to provide for the church, 1 Cor 16:3 and to provide for the pastor 1 tim 5:17 and the missionaries 3 John 7-8 You know what. I feel really sorry for those people in the church who didn't support your ministry. When they get to heaven, I'm sure God will say to them "Well you're done, cheap and stingy servant. I'm so proud of you. You were really stingy. You did such a good Job of keeping Justme without money. I really needed help keeping him humble." Did you hear the sarcasm in my words? Unfortunately I cannot discuss my mission organization in public. Other than we've got schools all over the world. We've been talking about commandments in the NT in another forum, A good NT command is "Let the elders who rule well be counted worthy of double honor, especailly those who labor in the Word and doctrine." 1 Tim 5:17. Honor in context being salary. I believe that the Elders refered to in scripture are most often Pastors, Since I am NOT a Pastor of a church, I can say, Every Pastor ought to be highly paid. Especailly with all the junk they have put up with. My heart goes out to you! I work with Pastors daily helping them to succeed in ministry. I have some idea of what you went through. Ciao, |

50 | self control / spirit control | 1 Cor 9:25 | In the Andes | 53655 | ||
I'm sorry,what did you say? There is no forgiveness for a Christian who commits one of these sins after he's born again? Am I missing something here cause I'm confused now. |

51 | In the Andes, name the Laws of the New | Ex 20:10 | In the Andes | 53650 | ||
Dear Mrs B, I didn't use those scriptures. I did refer to Gal 3:25 though. I used Roms 13:8-10. As a matter of fact, I also used them to teach on marriage today at church. We need more of the Love of God in our marriages than we do rules and regulations. You know, I agree with you 100 percent, I'm having enough trouble walking in love without adding, did i walk to far from my home on the Sabbath day? ha ha. I had to go half way across Santiago to preach. I was so grateful that is was a beautiful day here. God bless, In the Andes |

Unfortunately, you cannot pick and choose which commandments you want to obey. According to the NEW COVENANT, You are a debtor to keep the whole law. That means...No pork, no shell fish, you aren't to wear clothes with mixed fibers, nor should you have any pets that are mixed(more than one bread) plus 600 and something other commandments. If you break even one of them you have broken the whole law. Also, you've got to make the sacrifices. Hebrews has a lot to say about this. When God changed the priesthood, of a necessity, he changed the law. read heb 6-10. As to what Jesus said. To receive eternal life you've got to keep all the commandments. Yet when the philippian Jailor asked Paul, what must I do to inherit eternal life Paul said... "BELIEVE ON THE LORD JESUS CHRIST AND YOU AND YOUR HOUSEHOLD WILL BE SAVED." Paul says in Romans 10:9-10 that salvation comes because we believe in our hearts that God raised Jesus from the dead and confess him as Lord. Acts 15, when the Jews came down and began to teach that the Christians should keep the law of Moses it says Paul had NO SMALL DISCUSSION WITH THEM. You are right, Jesus did fulfill the law. He fulfilled it because YOU CANNOT. According to Galatians. If you are filled with the Spirit, and led by the Spirit, and allow Him to express God through you, Manifest the fruit of the Spirit. LOVE JOY PEACE GOODNESS GENTLENESS PATIENCE SELF CONTROL KINDNESS AND FAITH Against these things there is NO LAW. If you live your life with these items working in you, you don't need any law. Look at Romans 7:10 Speaking of the 10 commandments. Paul says that it brings death. But the Spirit brings life. Hey, you forgot one thing. Jesus also commanded him to sell everything he had and give it to the poor. If we are going to take the commandment literally, we've all got to do that one too. Love is the fulfillment of the law. If we love one another as he loved us, we will fulfill the law. You know the sabbath is Saturday and not Sunday right? We might as well all become 7th day advantists if we have to keep the law. |

I understand what you are saying. But if we were to stop doing everything that might cause an offense, we would be left with nothing. I.e. In India, they consider playing cards a sin. The pentecostals believe that if a woman cuts her hair it's a sin or wears pants. Paul said that weak Christians eat only vegetables. Here in Chile, it's NOT a sin to drink wine, but it is in the states. The list is endless. Paul told us to have faith before God. If I'm around a weak christian I should be aware of his conscience. But I'm not going to buy 2 sets of clothes. Have 2 different cars, and live in 2 different houses to please everybody. Personally, As a missionary. I'm offended (if you will allow me to use that word loosely, as I endeavor to live an unoffended life) by MUCHINARIES. Those missionaries that go to the states wearing old ratty clothes, begging for money, and showing slides of starving babies to get offerings. Or better yet, by christians who think missionaries ought to be poor, because they are stingy and pass it off as "the Lord's will". I've got to be careful not to pass judgement upon them because they just don't know any better. When I first moved here, my wife and I lived without furniture for 7 months. (We did have a bed) But nothing else. We eventually bought a plastic table and 2 chairs. We were content (not dependent upon, grateful, and self sufficient) with what we had. But we recongnized this was not God's will for us. After 7 months of rejoicing in God's provision someone sent us an offering to fill our house. Eventually we gave away our living room suit to a Chileno. 5 months later, God gave us a leather couch. It's a blessing from God, why should I give away what God Himself gave me (I didn't spend 1 centavo (cent) of my own money on it) because some christians are "offended" that it was expensive. "You should sell that couch and use the money to feed the poor" blah blah blah, You sell something that you own. That's what I'm talking about. Who has the right to judge how I live before God? God has been good to us. We are very careful not to bring a reproach upon the Gospel. We take nothing from the Gentiles. 3 John. Our standard of living is comparable to what we left in the states. Mark 10:29-30 The quality of things is a bit different. But that's just because I live in another nation. What bothers me most is the fact that many of God's servants (specifically missionaries) are living substandard lives simply for lack of knowledge. Yes, there are some nations where missionaries go that are backwoods kind of places. Why should they have to come home and beg also. We should take care of God's laborers. My wife and I financially support several missionaries. That's why we didn't have money to buy furniture. We prefer to give into the Kingdom of God and let HIM BLESS US. The truly amazing thing is, because of our obedience, He's given us everything we've asked for. God is Good. And the church argues whether or not it's God's will to bless His children. Where I grew up, when a man didn't take care of his children, we called it child abuse. |
