May I ask, how can one chase God? For He is not running from anyone. Exhorting In Christ George |

42 | What about man's spiritual condition? | Eph 2:1 | GeorJoy | 102091 | ||
Yes. But... there is hope... Rom 5:14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come. Rom 5:15 But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many. In Christ George |

I would attest that all "anyone" needs to understand is that Christ paid the sin penalty on the cross, and that one needs is to believe that, repent and be saved. For Gal 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. Exhorting in Christ George |

45 | what about the Jewish feasts | Hebrews | GeorJoy | 102083 | ||
In defense of your argument I would quote the NIV’s interpretation of Paul’s statement to the Galatians in 5:12. As for those agitators, I wish they would go the whole way and emasculate themselves. However, I find that most unlearned Christians will be quick to disagree adamantly with you. Let the disagreements help you to refine your delivery of the facts you are attempting to teach. As I have stated before, ”to the unlearned Christian, this is a touchy subject which will either reveal the depths of their ignorance, or depict their willingness to learn and accept scripture in it’s unleavened purity.” I would sum it up in this simple statement. If one is “truly” a Christian, according to Christ’s teachings and ultimate sacrifice, and the apostle Paul, one is not under the law. Yet when one is a true Christian, one will, through the observance of the greatest commandments observe the law. Mat 22:36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law? Mat 22:37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. Mat 22:38 This is the first and great commandment. Mat 22:39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. Think about it. If one adheres to the above, will he not follow the commandments? Exhorting in Christ George |

46 | MARK 16:16: Was it perverted? | Bible general Archive 2 | GeorJoy | 102074 | ||
Brother John. I agree, but are you not speaking of Grace and the elect. This is a very deep subject. I am referring to this matter in a simplistic, "milky" manor. Rom 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. Does not “believing “include an action? Did not Moses follow up his belief with action? Can one “just” believe in God without following His ways? Does not “what we do” show what we really believe? I attest that although deeds can never “earn” salvation, faith produces a changed life (repentance.) The demons themselves believe. You state “The Bible says that repentance is granted by God.” It does and it is, yet has anyone ever possessed a grant without acceptance? Does our God just “make” us this or that? Therefore; Mar 1:15 ……The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel. As is the acceptance of and belief in the Savior, repentance is "also a choice." Rev 3:19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. We are all saying the same things. Just in different ways. Mar 8:18 In Christ George |

There is nothing smart-alecky about the sharing of knowledge Tim. I don't know about everyone else, but that's why I participate in this forum. To learn and, hopefully do just what your post has done. Thanks George |

Does one believe in 2Ti 2:15, or is one spoken of in Jam 3:5, or perhaps Jam 1:26, or can one be classified as is depicted in 2Ti 3:7 ? No accusations. Just wondering. George |

Thank you for your response dear soul. And thank you for doing what so many simply refuse to do. I can't for the life of me understand why such a supposedly educated generation portrays such illiteracy and lack of concern where their immortal soul is concerned. God Bless George |

50 | HELP ME PLEASE...I am not content! | Rom 12:1 | GeorJoy | 101957 | ||
Dear soul, seek professional advise. A forum such as this is a dangerous place to seek such advise. First though, I would suggest you take your burdon to Him whos yoke is not too heavy to bear. Ours is an ALMIGHTY God. There is nothing He can not do. And if you have accepted His son, confessed your sins and are doing your best, there is nothing you can ask "In His name" that will not be done. The thought itself is not the sin. It is the execution thereof. Do not allow such thoughts to grow in your mind. Meditate on His word. Prayerfully in Christ George |

51 | MARK 16:16: Was it perverted? | Bible general Archive 2 | GeorJoy | 101952 | ||
Jesus did say as you quoted, but it is also written, "But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:" It did not say "to them that believe on his name and are baptized..." Baptism is a profession before "man" of ones faith. "A symbol." Not a necessity for salvation. The bible must be taken as a whole before one can glean the true wealth thereof. Not a bit here and a morsel there. This is the biggest downfall of the "so called Christian" today. IGNORANCE. If you listen close enough your "discernment" will tell you if these so called evangelists are false prophets or not, "for many will come in my name... but..." Your best defence to protect from a counterfeit is to know the original. And, I believe it has been said "the best offence is a good defence." So... How can one know the original? How can one defend their immortal soul? Simple.... Read and head 2Ti 2:15. In Christ George |

52 | The unpardonable sin? | Bible general Archive 2 | GeorJoy | 101947 | ||
Dear friend, there is but one unpardonable sin according to scripture. Perhaps I haven't read far enough, but I have yet to see it mentioned in this thread. George |

Sorry AO. Righteousness never has, nor will it ever get anyone into heaven. Repentance is a requirement, but you left out the main ingrediant in your post. In Christ George |

54 | Paul Advocating Moderation | Phil 4:5 | GeorJoy | 101941 | ||
(KJV)Phi 4:5 Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand. I can only imagine how the word moderation was translated "gentle spirit" in some versions. God Bless George |

55 | ghosts? | Eph 6:12 | GeorJoy | 101938 | ||
Many will say no, but I will attest to the fact that those who do either have not read scripture or simply do not understand it. Yes. I believe in such anomalies. I have experienced such. My bible states that it is real. Eph 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. The OT makes mention of at least one actual happening as well. I believe it was refered to as a spirit though, not ghost. They are basically one and the same. God Bless George |

56 | there is no jewishness in the church why | John 10:30 | GeorJoy | 101934 | ||
It is my understanding that the Jewish religion,(Judaism) teaches that we are still under the law of Moses; that they believe that Jesus was simply another prophet, not the messiah. They are still waiting for the messiah. Imagine how surprised they are going to be when that messiah returns! We Christians are NOT under the Law of Moses. Christ died on the cross to pay the penalty for the sins of all who call on him, repent and believe in Him. Christ was the fulfillment of the law. Jesus was and is the Christ. Mat 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill. If only they could, or would read the history that they are so proud to proclaim, for He and the events of His life are fortold over and over therein. He in the stumblingblock that was fortold. Christ freed us from the bondage of the law. Read the book of Galatians. It's only 6 short chapters. I should think that one of the Jewish faith wouldn't have anything good to say about this book. Particularly where Paul states that he wished that the "agitators" who were advocating the law would go the whole way and castrate themselves. In Christ Geiorge |

57 | What is an Apostle? | Bible general Archive 2 | GeorJoy | 101905 | ||
I have researched the two words. This is my conclusion. I assert that "today’s English," like many other languages is no where as near perfect (descriptive) as the original language. I wonder how many more generations it will take before the commonly accepted definition of the word "love" will sound something like this; Love; 1) Interaction between two or more people, male or female, for the purpose of sexual satisfaction. 2) Indulgence in whatever it takes to achieve self satisfaction. What about marriage? Marriage; (1) The union, either temporary or permanent between two or more individuals, either male or female. (2) Formerly defined as the union between one male and one female or a: the state of being married b: the mutual relation of husband and wife: WEDLOCK c: the institution whereby men and women are joined in a special kind of social and legal dependence for the purpose of founding and maintaining a family. Considering society’s refusal to commitment, the definition has been changed to reflect the desire. Sad! It is happening this very day. What are we Christians doing to stop it? Sitting on our back sides squabbling over the difference between the meaning or two words that not many of us have ever exercised? Exhorting and expecting eventual “digitally martyrdom.” In Christ George |

58 | What is an Apostle? | Bible general Archive 2 | GeorJoy | 101901 | ||
It's all in the definition of the word. It really dosent matter. KJV does not use the word missionary. Others may. KJV uses Apostle. The KJV written in "perfect english." How many other versions even make this claim? Per Mr Webster; 1 : relating to, engaged in, or devoted to missions 2 : characteristic of a missionary A "missionary" is simply one sent on a mission. This noun is commonly associated with a religious mission, but technically it could be associated with anyone on any mission, even a demon from hades. (Anyone not agreeing, please verify the definition, for I do not care to defend Mr Webster, as I continually do Mr James.) An "apostle" however is a more specific noun. 1 : one sent on a mission: as a : one of an authoritative New Testament group sent out to preach the gospel and made up especially of Christ's 12 original disciples and Paul b : the first prominent Christian missionary to a region or group 2 a : a person who initiates a great moral reform or who first advocates an important belief or system b : an ardent supporter : ADHERENT 3 : the highest ecclesiastical official in some church organizations God Bless George |

60 | What is an Apostle? | Bible general Archive 2 | GeorJoy | 101898 | ||
Per Mr Webster 1 : one sent on a mission: as a : one of an authoritative New Testament group sent out to preach the gospel and made up especially of Christ's 12 original disciples and Paul b : the first prominent Christian missionary to a region or group 2 a : a person who initiates a great moral reform or who first advocates an important belief or system b : an ardent supporter : ADHERENT 3 : the highest ecclesiastical official in some church organizations There are 3 levels of apostleship. (1)The apostleship of Christ. (2)That of the original 12 (3)The one that continues to this day as defined above. Keep in mind however that "all believers" are not blessed with the same gifts. One may be blessed with leadership, another prophesy, or the utterance of unknown toungs or interpritation thereof. Still yet, another may be blessed with the gift of serving others, or exortation. Whatever our gift, the discovery and the nurturing and development thereof is the responsibility of the individual and that individuals pastor who, if he is doing his job in accordance with the Word, fills the position as "shepherd" and "protector" to that individual. Too many pastors need to be reminded of this responsibility in the mannor that those recorded in the Word they supposedly preach, have been reminded. Exhorting in Christ George |
