41 | Why won't Calvinists answer directly??? | Job 38:1 | inHzsvc | 2140 | ||
I'll add two to your list, if you don't know of them. A.W. Pink and John Gill both have some good to say concerning the Decrees of God. If you don't own a copy of John Gill's "A Body of Doctrinal and Practical Divinity", you should. God bless. |

42 | Does Jesus' name satisfy Matt 28:19? | Acts 2:38 | inHzsvc | 2104 | ||
My take on this is that "in the name" of always means "authority". We know that Christ said "all power is given me in heaven and in earth." That is authority. Then, he passed that authority onto His church. That authority came from God the Father, through His Spirit, through His Son. You did say something there that I disagree with heartily. You said that the church was "created" in Acts 2, on the day of Pentecost. I believe the Scripture teaches otherwise. Let me give you a few reasons I believe the church was founded before Pentecost. 1) The literal meaning of church (ekklesia) means "a called out assembly." Christ called out His assembly early in His ministry. 2) They preached the gospel prior to Pentecost(Mat. 10:14, Luk. 10:1-17). 3) They baptized prior to Pentecost(Jhn. 4:1,2). 4) They received the Lords' Supper prior to Pentecost(Mat. 26:26). 5) They had an ordained ministry prior to Pentecost(Mrk. 3:14). 6) They had been taught (by Christ) about church discipline prior to Pentecost (Mat. 18:15-17). Christ actually uses the word "church" in this passage. 7) They had Christ as their Head before Pentecost(Jhn. 13:14). 8) They had a membership of 120 prior to Pentecost (Act. 1:15). Notice the people saved on Pentecost were "added to them" (Act. 2:41). 9) They had a business meeting and elected officers prior to Pentecost (Act. 1:15-26). 10) They had a treasurer prior to Pentecost (Jhn. 13:29). 11) They had the Great Commission prior to Pentecost (Mat. 28:19,20). 12) Christ was building His church prior to Pentecost (Mat. 16:18). 13) The Bridegroom was with His bride (the church) prior to Pentecost (Jhn. 3:29, Eph. 5:22-23, II Cor. 11:2). 14) Christ sang in His church prior to Pentecost (Mrk. 14:26; this was in fulfillment of Psa. 22:22; see Heb. 2:12). 15) There is NO Scripture anywhere to indicate that the church began at Pentecost. 16) Prior to Pentecost they were a body of baptized believers banded together by His authority to carry out the will of Jesus Christ. This is a church. I hope this helps all who read. God bless you and yours. |

43 | Why won't Calvinists answer directly??? | Job 38:1 | inHzsvc | 2087 | ||
It is interesting to me that many Arminians believe in a call to the ministry, but, reject an effectual call to salvation. Is not calling one to the ministry and not calling another a form of election and reprobation(though not in the salvation sense)? God bless you and yours. |

44 | Why won't Calvinists answer directly??? | Job 38:1 | inHzsvc | 2072 | ||
In Rom 8:29, Paul stated that "whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. (30) Moreover, WHOM he did predestinate, THEM he also called: and whom he called, THEM he also justified: and whome he justified, THEM he also glorified. (31) What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? Personal pronouns are important. You will notice, Paul didn't say "what" He foreknew. Paul said "whom" He forknew. This language is similar to what Christ will say at the Great White Throne judgment. "Depart from me ye workers of iniquity, I never KNEW you." The foreknowledge in this verse is not a mere knowledge God has of future events. It is a loving relationship that He has for His elect. Through the fall, we are unable to come to God (I Cor. 2:14). However, by His grace, He has chosen to save some. Thank the Lord you and I are among that group. God bless. |

45 | what are you not sure about? | Gen 6:4 | inHzsvc | 2015 | ||
well, I guess I should have made mine inHzsvc....I do take capitalization seriously when I speak of the Lord. I guess I made a mistake....it's not the first time or the last. | ||||||
46 | GEt back up | Revelation | inHzsvc | 2014 | ||
Thanks, Brother. If I'd read this first, I wouldn't have had to reply. I have never taken the term backsliding to mean losing one's salvation. John Bunyan, in Pilgrim's Progress, represents a Christian going up a hill. However, some ways up, he trips and slides back down a ways. He then gets up and goes back over the same ground he had once tread. Notice, the Christian is always on the hill. I know this is not infallible Scripture, but, I believe it is Scriptural. God bless, and, thanks for defending the truth. |

48 | Spiritual beings procreate? | Gen 6:4 | inHzsvc | 1944 | ||
Amen.....let's try and keep the discussions civil. It's OK to disagree on things such as this. But, let's disagree agreeably. | ||||||
49 | Spiritual beings procreate? | Gen 6:4 | inHzsvc | 1942 | ||
Brent, still, you'll have to admit that those passages in Job leave little room for doubt that the "sons of God" are angels, at least in those passages. It seems viable that the same meaning would be taken from the same Hebrew word in Genesis. I believe fallen angels did cohabitate with the daughters of men, but, I do NOT believe of "sensationalistic tales about holding down women who are being violently raped by invisible demons while they and thier cronies are casting the demon out." In fact, I really don't know what that means. If you disagree with my previous assertion, please answer the questions and statements in it. Don't put words in my mouth. Thanks, and God bless you and yours. | ||||||
50 | Spiritual beings procreate? | Gen 6:4 | inHzsvc | 1920 | ||
The term "sons of God" refers to beings actually created by God in the OT. The only other three places that term is used is in the Book of Job. Most conservative scholars agree that those references, at least, refer to angels. Why does this passage in Gen. 6 not refer to the daughters of God? Why is it so hard to conceive of the Nephilim being the product of fallen angels cohabitating with the daughters of men? Does not Jude tell us that there was a group of angels that "left their first estate" and they, like Sodom and Gomorrah, went after strange flesh in fornication? Does not II Peter tell us of some angels that sinned and are now reserved unto judgment? Was not everybody except Noah and his family destroyed in the flood? That seems to tell us that Noah and his family were the only righteous ones on the Earth at that time. Does the intermingling of the lost and the saved normally produce giants? I think not. Folks, it's not far-fetched. It's good Bible interpretation. By the way, Eve is said to be the mother of "all living" in the Book of Genesis. That should do away with the heresy that Adam and Eve weren't the only humans actually created by God without an Earthly father or mother. God bless. |

51 | WHY DOSE IT HAVE TO BE MOSSES AND ELIJAH | Revelation | inHzsvc | 1813 | ||
That passage has made me wonder how much Enoch was hated in the pre-flood era. God bless. | ||||||
52 | WHY DOSE IT HAVE TO BE MOSSES AND ELIJAH | Revelation | inHzsvc | 1801 | ||
You asked what Enoch ever did with respect to the Second Coming. Well, let's see.....Jude 14 begins "And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these things, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, (15) to execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him." Now, this sounds like something similar to what I think, at least, that the two witnesses will be preaching. Again, I am not dogmatic concerning Enoch or anybody else. However, I have many good commentators that feel Enoch is the second witness and they have reasonable ground to stand on. God can empower anybody He wants to with the powers the two witnesses will have. Moses and Elijah wouldn't have had them had the Lord not given them to them. God bless all and thanks for the good conversation. | ||||||
53 | The beast with seven heads | Revelation | inHzsvc | 1777 | ||
My take on it is that this beast represents the Revived Roman empire. The one with a deadly wound that lives is the Antichrist. This is a very deep question that would take much more time than is allowed here.... | ||||||
54 | WHY DOSE IT HAVE TO BE MOSSES AND ELIJAH | Revelation | inHzsvc | 1775 | ||
Amen.....that's my attitude about it even though I think they MIGHT be Enoch and Elijah. | ||||||
55 | Best commentary on Revelation? | Revelation | inHzsvc | 1772 | ||
Absolutely. They need to do a little research and see how the Catholics have treated other groups throughout history. That belief of theirs still exists, though hidden at this present time. | ||||||
56 | Best commentary on Revelation? | Revelation | inHzsvc | 1632 | ||
They even have a priest on there....talk about leading to a one-world form of worship. | ||||||
57 | Who is the Bride of Christ? | Revelation | inHzsvc | 1630 | ||
In the Book of Revelation, we are told that the Bride "hath made herself ready." We are also told that a church can lose it's "candlestick", which is representative of the church itself. This teaches two things--there are faithful Christians and there are faithful churches. The Bride will be composed of faithful members of faithful churches. The rest of the saints will simply be members who are "called to the marriage supper of the Lamb." God bless you and yours. |

58 | Where did Easter get its name? | NT general Archive 1 | inHzsvc | 1629 | ||
Yes, my friend, Easter is a pagan "holy" day. Paul told the Galatian saints that he feared them because they worshiped "days, and times, and seasons." He felt he had bestowed labor upon them in vain. The custom of the goddess Ishtar, or Eastara, can be traced all the way back to Babylonian mysticism. It came up through the false church (Roman Catholicism)and is, sadly, accepted today by many other institutions. | ||||||
