41 | if you are saved are you always saved? | Bible general Archive 3 | Wild Olive Shoot | 162903 | ||
Salvation is only "cultivated" through God. If you think your salvation is dependant on anything you do, you are surely mistaken. You use a bunch of “we” in your post. Unless your "we" includes God... You sure do lessen His Word when He tells you it is eternal. I'm not one to argue with Him. I'll let another do that. WOS |

Scoop715, I don't believe at the Great White Throne judgment, there will be any believers. But at Christ's judgment seat, we will have to give an account. But once there, that's it. You misunderstand the judgments my friend. The Judgment Seat of Christ. The first of these will be the judgment of the believer’s works, called “The Judgment Seat of Christ.” For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ (Romans 14:10). For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ (2 Corinthians 5:10). Revelation 20:12-15 depicts the Great White Throne Judgement. No believer will be judged at that day as the final judgment is reserved for all who rejected the Lord Jesus Christ on earth. WOS |

47 | "nun" verse at Psalm 145:13 not in NASB | Bible general Archive 3 | Wild Olive Shoot | 164684 | ||
I specifically asked you four questions and you didn’t respond to one of them. Are you avoiding? I’ll re-post: How is worshipping Christ vile in your eyes my friend? How many more references can you make to worshipping Christ as a vile act? Is He your Lord and Savior? Is worshipping Him vile on any day, or just December 25th? Please explain. In all honesty, I’m trying to figure why you keep the position that it is vile to worship Christ. I would very much like for you to enlighten me, when, in your opinion may I worship my Lord? WOS |

atdcross, What is it that causes one to make the reversal you mention? You make it sound as if we do this on our own. Your definition of repentance completely leaves out God's grace and mercy. Where in your definition is Godly sorrow? 2 Corinthians 7:9-11 9 Now I rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye sorrowed to repentance: for ye were made sorry after a godly manner, that ye might receive damage by us in nothing. 10 For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death. 11 For behold this selfsame thing, that ye sorrowed after a godly sort, what carefulness it wrought in you, yea, what clearing of yourselves, yea, what indignation, yea, what fear, yea, what vehement desire, yea, what zeal, yea, what revenge! In all things ye have approved yourselves to be clear in this matter. “Humiliation and godly sorrow are previously necessary in order to repentance, and both of them are from God, the giver of all grace.” – Matthew Henry WOS |

I apologize then atdcross, because in your brevity, it seemed to me that you misrepresented God’s Word and what repentance truly is, although I’m sure that wasn’t your intent. Your post basically stated that after acknowledgment, obedience “is” repentance and that my friend, simply isn’t true. It is most assuredly part of it, but not “it”. I’m sure you are well aware of false repentance in which we have worldly sorrow that is merely a regret for the consequences of sin. 2 Corinthians 7:10 For the sorrow that is according to the will of God produces a repentance without regret, leading to salvation; but the sorrow of the world produces death. As well I’m sure you are aware of Godly sorrow which leads to repentance unto life in which we understand that sin is wrong and not just because of the unfavorable results it may produce, but because we truly, in honoring God, want to be free of sin and its bondage. Romans 7:24 Wretched man that I am! Who will set me free from the body of this death? Verse 25 answers this. Concerning true repentance, we understand the repulsiveness of sin as an offense against God, and the wonders of grace, which show the mercy of redemption through Christ and then endeavor after obedience. When one repents unto life there is an intellectual change, an emotional change and as well a volitional change. If obedience is repentance then there is no need for repentance once we do repent because we are obedient and you and I both know that is not the case. Repentance is to be present both in the sinner as he is brought to Christ, and in the believer confronted with his continuing sins. It is not necessarily a one time event and then we become obedient in full. WOS |

…”for confession of sin is to be made to God, against whom it is committed, and who only can pardon: and a man that truly confesses his sin is one that the Spirit of God has convinced of it, and has shown him its exceeding sinfulness, and filled him with a godly sorrow for it, and given him repentance unto salvation, that needeth not to be repented of; and who, under such a sight and sense of sin, and concern for it, comes and acknowledges it before the Lord, humbly imploring, for Christ's sake, his pardoning grace and mercy; and such obtain it:” -- John Gill’s Exposition of the Entire Bible 2Corinthians 7:10,11 10For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death. 11For behold this selfsame thing, that ye sorrowed after a godly sort, what carefulness it wrought in you, yea, what clearing of yourselves, yea, what indignation, yea, what fear, yea, what vehement desire, yea, what zeal, yea, what revenge! In all things ye have approved yourselves to be clear in this matter. Romans 2:4 Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance? WOS |

I disagree with your second comment. Repentance unto life is derived from the Holy Spirit who is convicting us of our sin. It is a divine grace given upon regeneration. How does He do that to an unbeliever? Or are you suggesting that there is repentance unto life before regeneration? WOS |

Okay atdcross, I’ll play along I guess. Answer either of my original questions which were, and I’ll repost: “I disagree with your second comment. Repentance unto life is derived from the Holy Spirit who is convicting us of our sin. It is a divine grace given upon regeneration. How does He do that to an unbeliever? Or are you suggesting that there is repentance unto life before regeneration?” Or answer either of the questions you “think” I’m asking. Maybe that will suffice. You stated: “there is no difference between what is required from believer or unbeliever with respect to the act of repentance.” I’m simply asking you to clarify that statement for me. Maybe tell me what in your estimation is “required” because as I see it, repentance requires faith. So how can an “unbeliever” truly repent. Repentance unto life would come after regeneration and at that point, belief is implied. I’m afraid if I attempt to simplify the questions for you, they will only get more difficult to understand, although I have to admit, they seemed pretty simple and straightforward until you read into them something that was not there.

55 | Where does it say no sin is greater? | Bible general Archive 3 | Wild Olive Shoot | 168290 | ||
Minna, Your Grandfather may be thinking of the following: James 2:10,11 (KJV) 10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. 11 For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law. However, it doesn’t convey that one sin is the same as the other or that one is greater than another. It speaks to transgressing the whole law, not the whole of the law. …”but the sense is, that he is guilty of the breach of the whole law, though not of the whole of the law; as he that breaks anyone condition of a covenant, which may consist of many, though he does not violate every condition, yet breaks the whole covenant; so he that transgresses in anyone point of the law, breaks the whole, commits sin, and is deserving of death, and is treated by the law as a transgressor of it, let it be in what instance it will.” – John Gill’s Exposition of the Entire Bible “Whosoever shall keep the whole law, if he offend in one point, wilfully, avowedly, and with continuance, and so as to think he shall be excused in some matters because of his obedience in others, he is guilty of all; that is, he incurs the same penalty, and is liable to the same punishment, by the sentence of the law, as if he had broken it in other points as well as that he stands chargeable with. Not that all sins are equal, but that all carry the same contempt of the authority of the Lawgiver, and so bind over to such punishment as is threatened on the breach of that law.” – Matthew Henry’s Commentary on the Whole Bible With the previous answers that have been posted, the conclusion is that obviously, some sins are greater than others. Question: "Are all sins equal to God?" Answer: Jesus does equate committing adultery with having lust in your heart (Matthew 5:27-28) and committing murder with having hatred in your heart (Matthew 5:21-22). However, this does not mean the sins are equal. What Jesus was trying to get across to the Pharisees was that it is still sin even if you only think about or want to do the act. The religious leaders of Jesus’ day taught people that it was okay to think about anything you wanted to, as long as you didn’t act on those desires. Jesus is forcing them to realize that God judges a person’s thoughts as well as their actions. Jesus proclaimed that our actions are the results of what is in our hearts (Matthew 12:34). So, although Jesus said that lust and adultery are both sins – that does not mean they are equal. It is much worse to actually murder a person than it is to simply hate them – even though they are both sinful in God’s sight. http://www.gotquestions.org/sins-equal.html © Copyright 2002-2006 Got Questions Ministries.

"our resurection bodies will therefore not have primary, or secondary generative organs." ebrain, can you support that with Scripture? I can't find where God's word definitively states that and consider it to be speculative at best unless you have some supporting references. WOS |

Question: "Will there be such a thing as gender in Heaven?" Answer: Matthew 22:30 possibly speaks of people after the resurrection not participating in marriage--they become "like the angels." However, this does not mean people are genderless. The masculine, not neuter, pronoun is used many times to describe angels (and HE was like...HIS appearance was like, etc.). So there is no real indication that the angels are genderless beings. There is nothing in the Bible that indicates people will lose or change sex in eternity. In the book of Revelation (chapters 21-22), it seems that God is making things not just like they were in the Garden of Eden, but even better. Remember that gender is not bad--it is actually a good thing. God created Eve because Adam needed someone to complement him. Marriage (impossible without different genders), the model relationship between a man and a woman, is a picture of Christ and the church. The church is the bride and Christ is the groom (Ephesians 5:25-32). Although it is not explicitly taught in the Bible, it seems most likely that people retain their gender after death. Our genders are a part of who we are. Gender is more than physical--it is part of our very nature and part of the way we relate to God. Therefore it seems that gender will be perfected and glorified in eternity. It is also worthy to mention that Jesus retained his gender after His death and resurrection. http://www.gotquestions.org/gender-Heaven.html © Copyright 2002-2006 Got Questions Ministries.

Dear ebrain, Please look a little closer, what I posted was copy righted. It was not my words. I won’t claim to know either way. However, you made a claim that “sex is no longer necessary,and our resurection bodies will therefore not have primary, or secondary generative organs.” (sic) It wasn’t I that stated this, but you. I asked you to support it with Scripture and apparently you can’t, so to make an unsubstantiated claim like that is really not the proper thing to do, now is it? All I’ll claim is that Scripture isn’t supportive either way, therefore I’m not sure. Rather than making an unsupported claim, that’s about as honest as I can be. You ask: “Please let me know just what you think Jesus was intending to convey at Mat 22:30.” My simple answer would be immortality, life everlasting. Maybe Luke’s depiction is clearer for you. Luke 20:36 Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection. WOS |

Dear Cory, You need to harmonize them? You are thinking that this is all happening simultaneously and is the same event and it is not. Here is a good website to visit to see this as it happens in some kind of chronological order. http://www.blueletterbible.org/study/harmony/index.html Per BLB the event told in John is not the same as the three told in the other gospels and happens sometime before them. The chart at the website above harmonizes the verses you questioned. My Study Bible however shows the questioned events depicted in John happening at some time before the events in Matthew and Mark and these two as being in harmony and the same event but the event in Luke happens later after the events questioned in Matthew and Mark. What happened in Luke is after the four fisherman follow (Matthew 4:18-22, Mark 1:16-20), Jesus teaching with great authority (Mark 1:21-28, Luke 4:31-37), Jesus Healing Peter’s mother-in-law and others (Matthew 8:14-17, Mark 1:29-34, Luke 4:38-41) and preaching throughout Galilee (Matthew 4:23-25, Mark 1:35-39, Luke 4:42-44. Then the events of Luke 5:1-11 and the miraculous catch of fish. This link below seems to be more in line with my Study Bible and might be easier to follow. http://www.lifeofchrist.com/life/harmony.html Hope this helps you and also hope that I didn’t mess this up as I typed it out.
