41 | rock foundation | Matt 7:24 | In the Andes | 53968 | ||
What would we do without John 3? What did nicodemas do without Romans 10::9-10? He didn't get born again that's what. Do you realize the sermon on the mount expounds the 10 commandments which is impossible to keep without being born again? Jesus was teaching Jews under the OT. Sure there are principles there for us. I don't argue that at all. But the living of those principles are found in Rom-Jude. I'll never break one commandment if I follow the Holy Spirit. Many Christians who disagree on this are reading Matt-joh with hindsight. They already know the New Covenant and find it (sporatically) thorought the gospels. They think the Gospels are enough. However, Without knowing rom-jud they would be just like the disciples with Jesus, clueless. How many Christians study the OT and Matt-Acts without filtering it through Church doctrine. They are just like people going to Job and basing their life experiences on him. You know, we affirm that God is NO respector of persons right. How about a respector of Covenants? God is just in treating us diff based upon our covenants. See Matt 20:1-16. When I read Job, I read it from the standpoint of being More than a conquerer, Always triumphant, and seated FAR ABOVE ALL PRINCIPALITIES POWERS DOMINIONS ETC. WITH CHRIST IN THE HEAVENLY PLACES. Not as some weak defeated christian who knows nothing of the New Covenant, thereby associating myself with Job. I'm not like Job. Job was not born again. (Watch me open this can of worms) Listen, If God opened the door on Job for Satan to attack him, maybe that was Jobs covenant. It's not found in mine. I'm redeemed. As long as I'm sober and watchful, Satan cannot devour me. 1 Pet 5. Let's see where this discussion goes now. I'm so glad I found this place. It's totally cool. Andes |

You are too eloquent. Where did you get it? Studies or grace? Hey, I liked your site. Are you a pastor? Tell me more, tell me more. Andes I'll get back to babies spirits soon. I'm inclining on agreeing with you based upon the fact that there is little or no NT evidence either way. However, I think common sense sides with me. |

I don't have the time I'd like to give my full attention to this wonderful discussion. And have only briefly read all the responses. I will give further attention to them later. I also find it interesting that this conversation is still going. Could you please respond to this. As I believe Mac G. pointed out Paul's revelation was given to him directly by the Lord. I believe that the majority of it is about the Church, which is HIS BODY. Therefore Who we are IN CHRIST, Our eternal inheritence that we possess, And the Power displayed towards us (or what we can do)Eph 1:18-19, are only taught in the letters. Read Philemon 1:6 in the Amp. Therefore, without the knowledge of the WORK OF CHRIST on the Cross, you wouldn't know what Jesus had done for you. You'd only know he died and was resurrected. You would NOT know anything about the NEW COVENANT. You'd only know there was one. Furthermore, you'd be living the teachings of Jesus as HE LIVED THEM AND TAUGHT THEM. UNDER THE LAW. Therefore, according to the revelation that JESUS HIMSELF GAVE PAUL, you'd still be in your sins trying to be declared righteous. See Gal 2. In reality, you cannot be a successful Christian with the Gospels only. I NEVER said they were not important. To the contrary. I said they were. But to live successfully you must study WHAT THE DEATH BURIAL AND RESURRECTION MEANS TO YOU. And that is found in ROMANS THROUGH JUDE. I've even got a real life example for you. Here in Chile, they had a major revival at the turn of the century. The evangelical church FORBID the new believers to read ANYTHING but the Gospels. Guess what! They are ALL legalist churches. They are the deadest, most religous people you'd ever meet. They have NO idea who they are in Christ. And now I'm talking about the pastors. Can you imagine the sheep? No offense intended, but I don't know many catholics that are Born Again and walking in their rights as a believer. And they know all about the 4 gospels. Wish I had more time... |

Hey hey, slow down zippy. I've got work to do. I'll get to responding to this soon. It's really interesting and I really haven't had time to read each chapter yet. You know it's enough to put in a book. No listen, this is by far one of the most interesting discussions I've ever had. But I need to change the subject a sec. Do you have "how to read the bible for all it's worth" by fee and stuart? I've got a question I'd like to ask if you do. |

47 | Who is qualified? | 1 Tim 6:17 | In the Andes | 53750 | ||
No one ever said the Gospel is about money. No one ever said that to be a blessing it always requires money. Pro 22:2 Does not say that God makes one man rich and another poor. IT SAYS GOD MADE THE MAN. You should read the rest of the proverbs. Pr 18:13. I don't believe you've ever heard the whole story. It's obvious from your attack against my character. Of course evil men are blessed. The children of the world are often wiser that the children of the kingdom. According to Prov. wisdom in the area of finances brings wealth. No one said our purpose was the pursuit of wealth. You are NOT QUALIFIED to judge me and tell me I am not content. That position is the Lords. And THAT is precisely my point. Who is qualifed? Let me share a little something with you. I don't receive offerings from those to whom I'm preaching the Gospel. I'll tell you what though. It takes a great deal of money to do what I do. When was the last time YOU got on an airplane to go preach in another nation? It wasn't free was it. NO! I'll tell you what. You and a whole bunch of other christians would rather that I backpack from the states to Chile. Spending 80 or 90 percent of my time trying to find cheap lodgings and begging for rides from the nationals. Eating food that's not fit for the dogs! NO. I'm not going to do that unless I have NO OTHER OPTION. The fact is I do have other options. Why should be exhausted every time I get into the pulpit. I preach an average of 4 hours a day. 4 days a week, not counting Saturdays and Sundays. The Lord has instructed me to start 3 new schools here in this nation. Do you know one of them is 8 hours south of my home. I'm not going backpack down there. I'll take the bus as that's what I can afford. And when God prospers me, I'll begin taking a plane. That's every weekend now, 6 hours every Saturday and not including Sunday. Monday will be MY only day off. We are now in the process of planting churches. We've started 2 and have 4 more to do by the end of the year. Why don't you ask me how much that costs? Transportation, workers, advertisement, renting buildings, renting sound equipment. NO THE APOSTLE PAUL DIDN'T HAVE TO RENT BUILDINGS. He lived in a completely different culture than I do. He went into the synagogues, etc. Why don't you ask me how much is in my savings account? 0! You know why, cause ever penny I get keeps me here doing the will of God. I'm doing what I can with what I have. My vision is big. And God is sending us faithful people to get behind it. The more I have the more I can do. And I'll eventually have more. And those that aren't offended by it, will be laborers together with us, and will have "fruit abounding to their account." Won't they be surprised when they find out how many souls were wrought under their name. (I feel like the apostle Paul defending my apostleship to the Corinthians 2 Cor 10-11) And there's absolutely nothing more fulfilling or rewarding OR EXCITING than what I'm doing. This weekend I saw several several people got born and again and healed. There's absolutely NO substitute for it. I've NOT reduced the Gospel down to money. I know exactly what it is. God's got a bigger problem than a few preachers with their prioritys out of line. And as I was about to tell you what it was He told me to drop the subject. So with that. I'm not mad or offended. I know so many young people who would love to give their lives to the mission but are constantly told that God is NOT interested in money and they know of no way to fulfill their dream. We are laborers together. 3 John. One go's one send's. One man said it like this. Either Go or Send a substitute. I just want to stir up the church to this! My motto is, I'm either gonna cause a revival or a riot but when I leave you'll never be the same again. Andes |

Are you saying that babies come out of the womb with sin in their lives? Maybe the scripture is silent on the subject because it's common sense. Paul said, death spread to all men because ALL SINNED. You'll have to prove to me 1st that a 1 year old child can commit sin. Looking over those scriptures you quoted, I cannot find where men are born sinners, I see where death spread to all men BECAUSE ALL SINNED. Paul is very clear that "where there is no law, sin is not held against man." vs 13 As far as God making exceptions, He is no respecter of persons. Let me give you another veiw point to add to your 3 main views. Paul was refering to a time in his life when he was not spiritually separated from God. And when he understood the commandment, the nature of his flesh which was passed down from Adam arose and took advantage of the commandment and killed him. Thereby teaching him that he needed a savior. Paul says in Rom 2:14-15 that those without the law are a law unto themselves. And their consciences bear witness, accusing or excusing them. Babies must of necessity have clean consciences. Or they would go straight to hell. All men will sin (because of the nature passed down from Adam) and thereby need a savior. I'm not disagreeing with you on that. I think it is a bit much to appl Rom 5 and eph 2 to babies. This is a subject that i've heard quite a bit. In the seventies it was called the age of accountability. I haven't heard much about it since then. |

Does anyone else think it's weird that Christians (specifically non Isralites by birth) are trying to live like Jews? Gal 2:3-21 I mean, singing jewish songs, dancing jewish dancing, using jewish words, etc. It's all rather weird to me. Do they think that makes them closer to God? |

Hey, If Paul is wrong he shouldn't be in the Bible. And if what He says contradicts Jesus then the entire Bible is wrong. So, Jesus saying it...that settles it doesn't fit too well with Bible interp. |

I'm sorry, I must completely disagree with just about everything you said. Yes, the 10 have been set aside in favor of a new covenant. Please read, Romans, 2 Corinthians, Ephesians, Colossians, Galatians and Hebrews. Our NEW COVENANT, has but 1 commandment. That is the Commandment of love. Rom-Jude teach us how to live out that new covenant. It is NOT in the OT that the Father is revealed. But in the NEW. Jesus came and clearly showed us the Father. That was unheard of in the OT. He was God to them. Not Father. They were NOT born again. Read the gospel of John, YOU ARE OF YOUR FATHER THE DEVIL (john 8). Read 1 John. NOW WE ARE CHILDREN OF GOD. All OT saints were servants, NOT Children. I enjoy seeing God's faithfulness to His people in the OT. It encourages me and blesses me. I learn from there mistakes. (1 Cor 10) But I do NOT go there to find His relationship with me. His Spirit is in me, He has written His laws in my heart and poured out fully His spirit and Love there. People who spend too much time in the OT are often overly critical, judgemental and eager to see God punish wickedness. See Jonah. Most often you hear them saying things like, "God is Judging America for her sin" Listen, God told Abraham He would spare Sodom and Gammorah if He could find 10 righteous people. Hey, you can find 10 righteous people in every church on every corner in every city in every state. |

Yes Jesus is the rock, 1 Cor 10. But the Rock that Jesus refered to in Luke 6 and Matt 7 is not refering to him. The Rock that he is refering to is "Doing what he says to do." The man who hears and does or acts on them MAY BE COMPARED... Hope that helps. Oh by the way, you might out to know that Jesus was teaching Jews in the four Gospels. Therefore he was expounding upon the Law, which the Christians are not under. The Gospels are important, BUT The Letters Rom-Jud are what we should be studying the most. THEY TEACH US HOW TO DO THE SAYINGS OF JESUS UNDER OUR COVENANT. Any good book on bible interp. will tell you that. |

Hey Mac, I've got a question. You said that man is born with a spirit that's separated from God. Wouldn't that mean that all babies die and go to hell? Rom. 7:9, how does that factor. I WAS Alive once without the law... |

56 | Why have kids when... | Gen 1:22 | In the Andes | 53712 | ||
I believe that if you obey the word, and train up a child in the way he should go he will not depart from it. See what Paul told Timothy in 2 tim 3:14-15. Besides, the reason I'd never ask an armenian that question is because that question doesn't present a conflict between doctrine and practice. And if I did you wouldn't have presented me with much to respond to. That would be no fun. (See my response to "inmyheart".) |

My dad doesn't believe that God is arbitrarily sending people to hell. HE BELIEVES 2 PETER 3:9 AND 1 TIM 2:4 If he didn't you're right, I wouldn't be asking this question. |

58 | Why have kids when... | Gen 1:22 | In the Andes | 53710 | ||
Sickness, death, etc, don't eternally separate you to eternal hellfire. Right? The question was not what if...But why would. If you believe that everything that happens is the will of God, You MUST conclude that your eternal destiny is also preset and prearranged by God. With NO possibility of altering it. I love children. If I believed that God might send one of my kids to hell, I'd NEVER have them. My point is, I don't think that anyone has ever thought their doctrine through to it's logical conclusion. It would be playing russian rulet with a life. In connection with that, It doesn't seem really consistent. I mean, it's like saying..."Uncle Bob died of a heart attack. The Lord took him home. And at the same time beginning an exercise program to ensure that we aren't overweight and die that way too." Which is it? God's will or the fact that uncle Bob weight 300 lbs? |

Ok, I've got a good question for Discussion. But before I ask it, let's not get into the unanswerable Calvinism Armenianism thing OK. OK here we go, this ought to be fun. I asked a Calvinist one time... "Do you have Kids?" He said "3". I said "Why would you have kids if God might choose one of them to go to hell?" Do you think a true calvinist would ever have kids, because what if God chose one of them for eternal damnation? |
