41 | Invite Jesus into you LIFE, not HEART... | Rom 6:23 | childoftheking | 35475 | ||
CDBJ, All I know sir is that we are commanded to Love God with all our Heart and our Soul and our Mind and all of our strength. The Bible may not express that we have to say these exact words "please come into my heart" but many passages in the Bible state that God, Jesus, the Word must be believed in our Heart, with all of our heart, and must enter our heart. It’s pretty clear that we need to Believe in our Heart (not the organ as Centurian nonsensically talks about) and confess with our mouth. 1 cor 2:8-9 says "....the wisdom which none of the rulers of this age has understood; for if they had understood it they would not have crucified the Lord of glory; 9 but just as it is written, "THINGS WHICH EYE HAS NOT SEEN AND EAR HAS NOT HEARD, AND which HAVE NOT ENTERED THE HEART OF MAN, ALL THAT GOD HAS PREPARED FOR THOSE WHO LOVE HIM." We are told in 1 Pet 3:15 "but sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and reverence" Col 3:15 " let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts..." Rom 10 8-9 which was mentioned in a previous post “But what does it say? "THE WORD IS NEAR YOU, IN YOUR MOUTH AND IN YOUR HEART"--that is, the word of faith which we are preaching 9 that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; we must also have a repentant heart as in Rom 2:5 Acts 8:37 "And Philip said, "If you believe with all your heart, you may." And he answered and said, "I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God."] Rom 10:10 for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation. Thanks for listening Peace and Joy in Jesus Barry |

42 | Study the Word, Calvin, or Aminian??? | John 6:65 | childoftheking | 35417 | ||
Hello Makarios, As you call yourself an Arminian, I thank you for sharing a non defensive point of view. I don't completely understand what you meant in the second sentence of the second paragraph. I will need to ponder what you meant concerning grace. I too believe in eternal security and I also believe in the sovereignty of God. I believe before the world was formed, that God knew exaclty who was to accept Jesus as their saviour and who wasn't. God knows all future events in my opinion and I believe that Jesus died for everyone. I believe that the Holy Spirit draws people to Jesus but all do not accept him. The bible does say that no one can come to Jesus unless God draws them right? No one can seek out Jesus on their own if I'm not mistaken? What about the rich young man who came seeking Jesus about how to obtain eternal life? So one can say that he was drawn to Jesus by the Holy Spirit but did not accept the Words of Jesus on how to obtain eternal life. He walked away and chose to reject our Lord. It also begs another question. The bible teaches that we are to come as we are and that there is nothing we have to do of ourselves to obtain Salvation. Why then did this man have to sell all he had? I kind of think that if he accepted what Jesus said in his heart that he wouldn't have had to sell everything. Kind of in the same fashion as how God stopped Moses from sacrificing his son. Just some thoughts. Thank you again for sharing your beliefs. Peace and Joy in Jesus, bgg |

43 | What does Fear God really mean? | Acts 13:16 | childoftheking | 35408 | ||
You ever think that after all the time John the Baptist was out there preaching of the coming of our Saviour that when he finally saw Jesus and said "Behold, the Lamb of God...", that he said it loudly, with enthusiasm, and with an emphatic, assertive exuberance? |

Hey I like that one about how John reacted in Rev. 1 Joe. Very good indeed, and the Lord's wonderful, compassionate response as Jesus touched him on the shoulder and said "Fear Not, I am the first and the last, I am he that liveth and was dead and behold, (I love that word)I am alive for evermore..." Praise God, That's great stuff!! bgg |

Hello Hank, Thanks for the additons to the meaning of "fear of the Lord". Jesus, old Buddy eh? Well we are supposed to have a personal relationship with him but that's worse than introducing ones wife as your old buddy. Your wife should be your best friend outside of our Lord but the beginning of that prayer is not at all how to address our Lord. What "old master preachers" would you be referring to? Thanks for the welcoming words and I will be visiting this forum for as you say "to receive nourishment, and to nourish others all to the Glory of God". Of course as long as it does not take me away from my personal time of studying the word and being alone with the Lord. :) Peace and Joy in Jesus bgg |

Greetings Hank, Thank you for your insightful and poignant response. I believe this forum can be a very uplifting and educational meeting of Christians. I think it is the duty of Christians, if they hear or read something of what they cannot acquiesce in their mind, or their Spirit, to question it and give a ready scriptural response, but to also edify each other where appropriate. As an observation, Aaron would not have died and would made it to the Promised Land if he didn’t stand by and watch Moses strike the Rock (when he was supposed to just speak to the rock), but instead spoken up and let Moses know that was wrong but he didn’t, he just watched and suffered the consequences. Numbers 20. It does seem to me, from reading posts, that there are some very well educated, biblically knowledgable members of this forum in which I can learn from. At the very least, I'm constantly looking up the meaning of words.....lol You wrote: "I accept what precepts of each school as I see as being consistent with the word of God and reject others that do not seem to be. I see it as far more important to read and study the Scriptures humbly and prayerfully, asking for divine guidance of the Spirit as I do; to strive to grow and mature in my Christian walk as God helps me to do so; to set the best example that I can to be more like Jesus in my daily living, and by doing so to be an instrument to lead others to the Lord Jesus." I thoroughly agree with what you say here, especially the last part. Peace and Joy in Jesus bgg |

Thank you Joe for the welcome and your reply. Interesting choice of verse too by the way :) So from what you say here, and by your profile name, I gather that you're a follower of Calvin? An ism is a belief (or system of beliefs) accepted as authoritative by some group or school. From http://www.xenos.org/classes/principles/cpu1w6.htm#a4 Calvinism: This term is actually a misnomer. Calvin did not emphasize predestination in his Institutes (only 4 chapters). Calvin warned against delving too deeply into this subject (John Calvin, Institutes of the Christian Religion, Book 3, Chapter 21, section 1). However, it became the controlling principle in Reformed Theology, expressed by the Synod of Dort in 1618-1619. I respect your views and thank you again for your reply. Peace and Joy in the Lord bgg |
