41 | why do we have to call Jesus -Lord Jesus | Rom 10:9 | meta | 209766 | ||
I hear you, and I appreciate what you are saying. Jesus Christ quoted the scriptures to both the disciples and the pharisees. He never quoted chapter and verse. I know I am not Jesus. and I will try to accomodate you with this in the future. I really am receiving a lot. thank you |

It appears that I cannot win with you. If I say I do not wantb to argue then you will most likely remind me of something I said previously, rather than to hear what I am saying now. But the truth is I see your point and value what you have to say. It is too bad that it is not a two way street. This is the last reply I will send . Thank you for your efforts to enlighten me. | ||||||

You make a lot of assumptions Doc. Do you honestly think that there were no unbelievers in Israel. Zacchaeus was a tax collector. Why would he have to know anything. I know many jewish people. I know many Messianic jews and I have known and worked for and with many others, some extreme orthodox some religeous and some Jews by birth with no desire to know God or have anything to do with the spiritual aspect of the culture that was their birthright. There is nothing in the scriptures that even hints that Zaccheus wanted anything to do with these things. He also lived in a time when a lot of people were turned away from the faith by the hypocritical abuses of the pharisees. They as you probably know were a sect that came into being to call Israel back to a respect for Gods Scriptures. But pride and the flesh had taken them to point that they opposed God when He did come to them. There were times in Israel when no one knew anything about the scriptures because they had been ignored for so long that there was not even a copy in existence that they knew of. There have always been religeous zealots and apathetic people that could not care less for their incredible birthright. I have no idea what you are referring to when you refer to pointless emotionalism. I am certain that there are times when you feel passion for Christ or the Holy Spirit or the Father. What is pointless about passion that is from or towards God. I am not attempting to be sarcastic. I really do not know what you are talking about. I understand the meaning and there is obviously lots of pointless emotionalism in the world however I do not see it in respect to what we are discussing. |

Thank you, I have been praying. I have now asked forgiveness from my Father and I have been cleansed of the offense. I have no wrong feelings or judgments towards anyone. I know that He causes all things to work togeather for good to those who love Him and are called according to His purpose and that purpose is forming Christ in us. So He will take my mess and make something beautifull of it for all involved. I have now purposed in my heart to go to war, to pray with tenacity for the welfare, protection and strengthening of all that I have offended. Repentant Meta |

Thanks Doc, I am not sure that it was a tremendous amount of presupposition and knowledge that caused him to speak those words. I think it was a heart bursting with Gratitude. He did climb a tree to see Jesus To see the one who is the truth the life and the way.He wasn't a scribe or a lawyer he was a thief with a license. I believe he was cut to the quick by the words of Jesus. He was not a scholar. Jesus said tax gatherers and prostitutes will enter heaven before you when speaking to the teachers of the word. They had a wealth of presupposition and knowledge. Everybody knew Jesus was different. He offered hope the pharisees offered rules and regulations some from scripture and many added by the elders. We don't know what was going on in Zaccheus heart what happened the day before? How long had he hoped for a more good and purposeful life. It is possible that he did have a wealth of knowledge and presupposition but did the knowledge motivate him. Or was it something about this man Jesus Christ. Bottom Line I agree with you about the intellect. You do have wisdom. I thank you for your words . You have not accused me of any thing and for that I thank you. I also ask your forgiveness. I replied too quickly and out of hurt to the other persons post. You have kept a cool head. Thank you |

Do you really believe that I looked for something to be disagreeable about? Do you think I searched through old archives to drag something up. I have asked forgivenes of two others who responded to me. I cannot respond to you in that way. You are only adding to the hurt and the insult. Please read my other responses | ||||||

I did not say you used the word of God flippantly. I said you used your words and opinions flippantly. I am new to the forum. I am not new to the scriptures. I have used this as a study help for years but have never ventured into the forum. It was not my intention to reply to an old post . If I had realized that I would have assumed that you had grown since then. I understand that my response was over the top. I was hurt. Do you wonder why? You repeated that we are not saved by asking Jesus into our hearts so again you try to nullify the process of my salvation. Jesus Christ understands our hearts. If we say the wrong words(in your opinion) but want the right thing(to know and love Him forever)He will respond to our hearts. The reason I used Zaccheus is that He said "Behold, Lord, half of my possessions I will give to the poor, and if I have defrauded anyone of anything, I will give back four times as much." And Jesus said to him, "Today salvation has come to this house, because he, too, is a son of Abraham. Jesus Christ is salvation. He came to give us eternal life. Not to require it. Would He pay such a painfull price for us then pursue us just to have people argue over what words to use. The scriptures are given to us by God. Jesus is God. God lives in us. He is the living word. When Jesus said to the pharisees Love your enemies and pray for those that despitefuly use you. He was responding to an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. He blew people away because they thought they had it figured out. they could easily have said where is it written in the scriptures. In fact they were adhering to the scriptures. In your first post, that I responded to, you said " where does it say" Does that mean if we do not use a certain method or words that are found in the scriptures we are not saved or our works burn up. The day I said Jesus come into my heart He did and the angels rejoiced. But you insulted that process. I am sorry for my excess. You have said I am sorry that what was said upset you. Why do you say what was said rather than "what I said". Can you not own what you did. I admit my sin. I ask your forgiveness. Selah |

Excuse me! I asked Jesus into my heart 39 years ago and yes it was a sewer but He changed it. He came into a sewer when He came in the flesh to save you. He went into a sewer to set a host of Captives free. If you have a formula for Salvation That does not include Him coming into a sewer I would like to know what it is. In the new covenant where does He write His laws. That's right, your heart. How Can I love the Lord with all of my heart and all of my soul and all of my strength if He doesnt come into those areas and change them. I Love Jesus Christ more today than I ever have. I am growing in the knowledge of Him more everyday, I pray for the sick and they are healed I have lead many others to Christ, and yet not I it was the grace of God. I am offended and insulted that you and so many others like you use your words and opinions so flippantly. Get a life. His Life and let Love rule you. | ||||||

Nice job Charis, It is easy to be critical rather than to look for where the life is and bless that. Coming into agreement with what God is doing (rather than what He is not doing) is powerful. Add intercession to the mix and reinforcing what He is doing is of great benefit as well. I would also intercede for more of what God is doing. This might well result in people having a more clear opportunity to decide and confess. One important aspect of such intercession is that it not be aimed at changing the pastor. That moves into christian witchcraft. It can indeed end up changing a persons methods but that is left with God to bring about His will however He chooses. The important thing is to pray led by the spirit to release the burden He has put on this persons heart to see people saved. |

My attempt to answer the question was not to steer the person anywhere accept to Jesus Christ. I wanted to give them some idea of why we do call Him Lord rather than focusing on the word "lord". He is both the Author and the finisher of my faith. What would Zaccheus say about all this intellectualizing. | ||||||
