41 | Is BeDuhn correct on John 8:58? | John 8:58 | Pastor Glenn | 145267 | ||
fellow worker, You said, "... On the other hand, he boldly declares that “when the Protestant Reformation occurred just five hundred years ago, it did not re-invent Christianity from scratch, but carried over many of the doctrines that had developed within Catholicism over the course of the previous thousand years and more. In this sense, one might argue that the Protestant Reformation is incomplete, that it did not fully realize the high ideals that were set for it.” Amen to that." Reinvent Christianity? Remove the testimony of Jesus Christ and replace it with the testimony of Jehovah? Anti-Christ. Revelation 12:17 And the dragon was enraged with the woman, and he went to make war with the rest of her offspring, who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

Oops!! The phrase "Submit to God, Resist the Devil" does not belong in this scripture. It was a heading that I inadvertantly copied. 1 Peter 5:5 Likewise you younger people, submit yourselves to your elders. Yes, all of you be submissive to one another, and be clothed with humility, for "God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble." [ Proverbs 3:34] James 4:7 Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. (NKJV) Pastor Glenn |

Hello Deont, Prov 18 21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit. (NKJV) Every word that we speak is being recorded for court (Judgement Day): Matthew 12:36 But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment. "what you say is what You get" is true only for trusting God (having faith in Him). A good example of this is immediately before the battle of the boy David vs the giant Goliath. The giant "spoke": 1 Samuel 17 44 And the Philistine said to David, "Come to me, and I will give your flesh to the birds of the air and the beasts of the field!" But David also "spoke": 45 Then David said to the Philistine, "You come to me with a sword, with a spear, and with a javelin. But I come to you in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. 46 This day the LORD will deliver you into my hand, and I will strike you and take your head from you. And this day I will give the carcasses of the camp of the Philistines to the birds of the air and the wild beasts of the earth, that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel. 47 Then all this assembly shall know that the LORD does not save with sword and spear; for the battle is the LORD's, and He will give you into our hands." David's words clearly indicated his faith in God. God honoured David's words and faith by giving him the victory. Whereas, the giant's words showed faith in himself. 1 Peter 5:5 [ Submit to God, Resist the Devil ] Likewise you younger people, submit yourselves to your elders. Yes, all of you be submissive to one another, and be clothed with humility, for "God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble." [ Proverbs 3:34] Pastor Glenn |

45 | Why this is not taught? | 1 John 3:9 | Pastor Glenn | 145116 | ||
Hello Brother Tim, "I'm not sure that they present so much a struggle as a choice." Maybe. :o) But isn't a carnal Christian struggling in his choices between flesh and spirit? "This would certainly indicate to me that while a believer can give into the flesh, he is no longer a slave to it." Yes, but for how long can a believer give in to the flesh before he is considered a slave to it; a moment, a month, or a few years? I motion that the scriptures are showing that we are the slaves of sin each and every time that we choose to walk after the flesh: Gal 5:16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. Gal 5:17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. Your brother in Christ, Pastor Glenn |

46 | Why this is not taught? | 1 John 3:9 | Pastor Glenn | 145102 | ||
Hello Brother Tim, "Romans 6 doesn't teach two natures residing together, but the death of the old man." Rom 6:12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. Rom 6:13 Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God. Does'nt these verses indicate a choice for the Christian to yield to God (walk after the spirit) rather than to walk after the flesh? I thought that the word "carnal" would be useful in this study. After performing a search using the word carnal here is what I got: Romans 7:14 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin. Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. Romans 8:4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. Romans 8:5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. Romans 8:6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Romans 8:7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. Romans 15:27 It hath pleased them verily; and their debtors they are. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, their duty is also to minister unto them in carnal things. 1Corinthians 3:1 And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ. 1Corinthians 3:3 For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men? 1Corinthians 3:4 For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal? Is'nt carnality the same as being babes in Christ? Heb 5:11 Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing. Heb 5:12 For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat. Heb 5:13 For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. Heb 5:14 But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil. Galatians 5:16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. Galatians 5:17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. Galatians 6:8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. Does'nt these scriptures indicate a struggle within the Christian; Sprit vs Flesh? Your brother in Christ, Pastor Glenn |

Hello MJH, "The topic of the two natures has been discussed on this forum so much that most don’t want to rehash it again. Type in, (old sin nature) or (new nature), in the search box and click search: you can spend hours reading what the folks on this form understand about the two natures. " CDBJ MJH, I see a lot of posts come up from entering "old sin nature". Have you tried it? I am not sure that, as you say, "nearly all commentators and most pasters do not teach this aspect of the new birth". Your brother in Christ, Pastor Glenn |

Hello jdavisodum, Welcome to the forum. "the NT speaks of the scriptures what scriptures is they talking about?

51 | Is the "new man" sinless? | 1 John 3:9 | Pastor Glenn | 144310 | ||
Hello MJ Head, "my question is, how could that which is born of God be even capable of sin? " 1 John 3:9 No one who is born of God practices sin, because His seed abides in him; and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. That which is born of God is "spirit". The new man consists only of the spirit of the three part man. We are "spirit", "soul", and physical "body". The natural physical body will sin. It has selfish carnal beastly desires. It cannot be saved. The "soul" must choose daily to walk after the "spirit" because the spirit cannot sin since it has been born of the Holy Spirit. Whenever the soul chooses to walk after the flesh, we sin. On the other hand, whenever the soul chooses to walk after the spirit, we cannot sin. I liken this to choosing to drive one of 2 cars that we may own. The fleshly vehicle will lead to death and destruction. But, the spiritual vehicle (putting on the new man Eph 4:24) leads to life everlasting. Again, this is a daily choice by the believer. I included the scriptures that you cited: 1Jo 1:8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 1Jo 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1Jo 1:10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us. 1Pe 1:23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. Eph 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. Eph 4:24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. Your brother in Christ, Pastor Glenn |

"afraid of these rivers"... you fraid..tes river Eu fraid..tes river Euphrates river ;-) I think I get it EdB. Well anyway, it was clever for whoever put up the "Missouri river" sign for the other river. However, the LDS churches should be made to pay any ransom demanded for the Euphrates since it was taken while they were supposed to be watching. The Euphrates must be returned to near the Garden of Eden where it belongs (Gen 2:14). Pastor Glenn |

53 | Unpardonable sin | Matt 12:32 | Pastor Glenn | 144037 | ||
Hello Justme, "... You may not know that the Garden of Eden was located in Independance, Missouri, at least accroding to the RLDS, and the LDS churches. ..." Well, I just want to know what Apostle Thomas would say about that. You know, he may be the one that started the Missouri state motto: "show me". Another thing, how does the LDS churches explain how the Euphrates river got sent to Iraq? Your brother in Christ, Pastor Glenn |

"This is encouraging, Pastor. I meant no disrespect to anyone who has read this book or has used it. I was just expressing my general observations and impressions -- though flawed and humble they may be!" Hello again Doc, I do not feel disrespected at all by your comments. As a matter of fact, my own dear mother also objected to us using this book or any other in bible study. She said, "These sixty-six books are all we need". She was right to a certain extent; we need to know how to teach the bible first and formost. So I made the same speech to her as I did to you in my last post. Let me tell you about my Mother Glenn. Well, my mother at 82 years young is forgetful and often forgets the names of her 9 children. So during bible study, every few minutes she would ask "What is this book? (The Purpose Driven Life)" or "What scripture are we studying?". So, I had to repeat my same speech about 5 times each week. However, even with her forgetfulness, she does not forget the scriptures and can more than hold her own in any bible study lesson. Whenever I should point out to her that the Lord has really blessed her memory when it comes to bible knowledge and understanding, she will then name all the books one by one and end with "... sixty-six books, thats all we need". So, she is right and you are right. If we don't know how to teach the bible "first", then no other books are going to help. Your brother in Christ, Pastor Glenn |

Hello Doc, I would like to add my 2 cents also. "I've scanned the book at Wal-Mart. I guess I might have had some bias against it right there. Books on theology sold at Wal-Mart are generally the first indication that you aren't looking at something terribly deep." You are right that this book is not terribly deep, but the bible is deep in many areas. We have used this book for bible study at our church. There really is no great problem when it is taught as prescribed. The same problems that we see in this book also mostly apply to "poor" bible study. The book is meant as a an aid to one particular bible subject; God's purpose for our lives as individuals. The bible is the only book that is meant to be studied prayerfully with the aid of the Holy Spirit to teach us God's meaning and God's understanding. That is why the fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge and wisdom. When the “scriptures” that Rick Warren cites (and there are many) are studied correctly, I see very little problems with this book. We need to always keep the focus on the scriptures when studying any book. If we teach correctly as Phillip did by the leading of the Holy Spirit for the Ethiopian Eunuch, then we can all help disciple others for Christ. Your brother in Christ, Pastor Glenn |

58 | Isaiah 14 - Lucifer's people? | Is 14:12 | Pastor Glenn | 142598 | ||
Hello Brother Tim, I have great respect for your posts, but I wanted to point out that other scriptures are also addressing individuals, as well as, Satan. When Satan is indwelling a person, God has addressed both of them in the same passages: Gen 3:14 And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life: Gen 3:15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. Notice how dialog directed to the serpent in verse 14 is quickly redirected to Satan in verse 15. We see this again in Ezekiel 28, as well as, in John 13:27. Joh 13:27 And after the sop Satan entered into him. Then said Jesus unto him, That thou doest, do quickly. Matthew 16:23 But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men. Any comments? Your brother in Christ, Pastor Glenn |

1 Kings 18:21 Elijah came near to all the people and said, "How long will you hesitate between two opinions? If the LORD is God, follow Him; but if Baal, follow him." But the people did not answer him a word. Agnostic? Indifferent? Undecided? Hesitant? Are all of these bad? Adam and Eve were made with free will. If Satan had not tempted Eve, would they have remained in the garden forever? Why did God allow Satan into the garden? Why did He put the tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil into the garden? Should God let us remain indifferent towards Him? Any Comments? Pastor Glenn |
