41 | 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 |

42 | 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 |

43 | What would you like to be doing when...? | Bible general Archive 2 | GeorJoy | 102166 | ||
What would you like to be doing when Christ comes? I would like to be witnessing. Imagine; to be standing there professing the Grace of God to lost soul, and then..... to look up and shout "there He is!".... and then... to be gone in the blink of an eye. In Christ George |

44 | Please I'm looking for your opinion! | Bible general Archive 2 | GeorJoy | 102185 | ||
There is so much that could be added to these words that the many posts would not hold it all. Now... I would ask of those who would be the Lords Shepherds; Are we going to "just" sit on our ever expanding hind sides discussing it? What are we going to do about it? George |

45 | Why does NIV OMIT verses in KJV? | Bible general Archive 1 | GeorJoy | 86402 | ||
I love my NIV. I also feel that it is a truly inspired revision of the word and that the Lord led me to it. However, my faith in this particular version was just jolted when I was reading the book of Acts and discovered with the help of my "Henry Comentary" that it OMITS verses that are in the KJV. Specifically Acts 8:37. If as I have determined from my research, this is due to the dateline of the manuscripts, why is the OMITTED verse number simply skiped over, ie 35 36 38 rather than continued in numerical sequence? |

46 | Why does NIV OMIT verses in KJV? | Bible general Archive 1 | GeorJoy | 86471 | ||
Thanks to all who responded to my question In response to this particular response, I would like to say. What is there, I consider infallible. What is there is not what I had questioned. What was in question was what was not there. I expect that the only perfect copy of the word is the originals. Considering the fact that I couldn't understand the originals if I had them in front of me, I go on faith that the translated copies I do have are as true to the originals as is possible. There are translations out there that are not true to the word. To a layman like myself, they could be a snare. I personally intend to do everything within my power not to be snared by such ignorance and deception. ie "You fill my cup to the brim," versus "My cup runneth over." |

47 | IGNORANCE OF CHRIST BY HEATHENS. | Bible general Archive 1 | GeorJoy | 90317 | ||
I can't remember wher it is EdB, but dosen't it say somewhere that "the Gospel will be preached throught the earth," (in relation to the end times?) I'd say that takes care of the "if" in your last sentence; in the end times anyway. As to the how. I would like to meagerly lean on what is said about the law being written on the hearts of the Gentile. But then, the law does not bring salvation so I'm back to swuare A. However, something deep down inside of me says that even this mystery has been taken into consideration by our all knowing Master. George |

48 | What is Docetism? Describe? | Bible general Archive 1 | GeorJoy | 90318 | ||
An ignorant belief which was no more than heresy in early Christianity that Christ "only seemed" to have a human body and to suffer and die on the cross. Just another way to lead the ignorant away from the true Lord and Master. In not so many words, it is spoken of in the Word. KJV-Eph 4:14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; George |

Sorry about that one Radioman2. I would blame my dislexia on old age, or the pending aproach thereof, but I'm sure there is a more accurate discription such as simple lack of attention to detail. Anyway, thanks for the verse. George |

Amen... Ah... But, just as a thought. Who is to say that the other angelic sighting you quoted in your previous note simply hadn't been previously sighted; and that the angel hadn't been buisy for quiet some some time prior? George |

53 | can musical instrument be used in church | Bible general Archive 1 | GeorJoy | 90410 | ||
No, is it NOT against biblical principles to use musical instruments during worship services. As a mater of face; KJV Psa 150:4 Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with stringed instruments and organs. Isa 38:20 The LORD was ready to save me: therefore we will sing my songs to the stringed instruments all the days of our life in the house of the LORD. George |

54 | if i get a christain tattoo is it sin? | OT general | GeorJoy | 92788 | ||
Consider this: Leviticus is one of the 5 books of the Law. Are we, who have accepted our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, under the Law? No. Personally, I George, feel that it is between the individual and the Lord. Keep in mind however that a tatto is perminant, (or nearly, anyway.) I have one. It is about 3 inches long and 2 inches wide. It is a crucifix on my left forearm, standing behind double hearts, with my wifes name therein. Would I do it again? Perhaps. I don't want to look like a coloring book though. Will it send me to Hell? NO! I defy anyone to prove "Scripturally" otherwise. "Nothing is a sin of itself." "Anything done to the excess is sin." (KJV)Gal 2:16 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified. Gal 3:13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: Gal 3:14 That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. Gal 2:21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain. Gal 3:10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them. However, 1Co 6:17 But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit. 1Co 6:18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. 1Co 6:19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? Per Matthew Henry's concise concordance; Some among the Corinthians seem to have been ready to say, All things are lawful for me. This dangerous conceit St. Paul opposes. There is a liberty wherewith Christ has made us free, in which we must stand fast. But surely a Christian would never put himself into the power of any bodily appetite. The body is for the Lord; is to be an instrument of righteousness to holiness, therefore is never to be made an instrument of sin. It is an honour to the body, that Jesus Christ was raised from the dead; and it will be an honour to our bodies, that they will be raised. The hope of a resurrection to glory, should keep Christians from dishonouring their bodies by fleshly lusts. And if the soul be united to Christ by faith, the whole man is become a member of his spiritual body. Other vices may be conquered in fight; that here cautioned against, only by flight. And vast multitudes are cut off by this vice in its various forms and consequences. Its effects fall not only directly upon the body, but often upon the mind. Our bodies have been redeemed from deserved condemnation and hopeless slavery by the atoning sacrifice of Christ. We are to be clean, as vessels fitted for our Master's use. Being united to Christ as one spirit, and bought with a price of unspeakable value, the believer should consider himself as wholly the Lord's, by the strongest ties. May we make it our business, to the latest day and hour of our lives, to glorify God with our bodies, and with our spirits which are his. George |

56 | A question for false teachers | NT general Archive 1 | GeorJoy | 94660 | ||
I do not intend to debate your point, but I will state the fact that Jesus bore our sins AND afflictions on the cross. Many like to make the statement "I was saved on such and such a date." I have news for them. They weren't saved on that date. Jesus died for our sins and afflictions over 2000 years ago. Our sins and afflictions were forgiven and lifted at that time. The date folks like to say they were saved, was simply the date that they accepted what our Savior did for them. 1Pe 2:24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: --- by whose stripes ye were healed. --- Why some are healed and some are not, only the Lord Himself knows. I have heard many preachers preach what the bible says concerning healing. I know there are many who have recieved healing by faith. I am sure that there are just as many whos faith is as as great as any, yet they recieve no healing. Our Lord has His reasons for not healing, just as He does for healing. Accepting His will without "understanding why" is a matter of faith as well. Ecc 3:1 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: Only too often we tend to think that things should happen in "our" time frame, forgetting about His. Rom 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. Rom 8:29 For 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. "conformed to the image of his Son." His Son was not sick or crippled. I don't believe our Lord intends anything other than what He stated in His word. What others believe is between them and our Master. Just as what I believe through the Spirit and the Word, is between me and my Master. Just because one hasn't recieved, dosen't mean that what is not recieved isn't there. If scripture says it. It is true. If one believes in Christ, one will also believe what is said in His word. Likewise, if one does not believe what is said in His Word, he makes him a liar. If one considers Him a liar, he does not believe in the first place. Belief and faith is more than skin deep. George |

I believe he was 33. It was either 32 or 33. I will have to check for sure. It'll be in one or more of the Gosples. Mat, Mark Luke or John. I'll check. George |

59 | At what age did Jesus die? | NT general Archive 1 | GeorJoy | 94667 | ||
Well unknown_christian, I can't seem to put my finger on the scriptural answer at the moment. But I will eventually. I'm sure He was 33. I know He was baptized at 30. Perhaps someone a little more learned will point out where in scripture we can verify what age Our Lord was when He was crucified. George |

As for "missing the boat," it would appear that some simply don't have both oars in the water in the first place. You posted a question. I simply posted an answer to that question. My post didn't ask for, nor is there a need for an answer. As to the posts you noted. Perhaps your answer is therein, so what possiable cause could there have for the post I responded to? George |
