42 | what is jesus trying to explain | Luke 18:1 | childoftheking | 42912 | ||
Hello, I believe what the Lord was saying in using the cruel Judge is this..... If this cruel judge, who doesn't fear God or have any respect for man, helps this woman, even though for the wrong reasons, how much more will God who Loves his people, hear their cries and bring about justice for them. So don't lose heart, keep praying because God hears the prayers of his elect. It also might be that, in verse 7, Jesus was alluding to Rev. 6:9-11 Also read Luke 11:5-13 Sometimes people will help you just so they don't have to listen to you anymore but God is not like that. God helps us because he Loves us. When we pray, if we don’t get a reply from the Lord right away, don’t just give up and say something like: “ well I guess God doesn’t want to help me”. We are to keep praying. Matthew 7:7-11 Psalm 84:11 Love in Christ bgg |

43 | Where was Jesus at during three days in | Luke 23:43 | childoftheking | 40976 | ||
Jesus’ Spirit was in Paradise. Jesus was preaching to the dead. 1 Peter 4:5 “but they will give account to Him who is ready to judge the living and the dead. 6) For the gospel has for this purpose been preached even to those who are dead, that though they are judged in the flesh as men, they may live in the spirit according to the will of God." NASB 1 Peter 3:18 "For Christ [the Messiah Himself] died for sins once for all, the Righteous for the unrighteous (the Just for the unjust, the Innocent for the guilty), that He might bring us to God. In His human body He was put to death, but He was made alive in the spirit, 19) In which He went and preached to the spirits in prison, 20) [The souls of those] who long before in the days of Noah had been disobedient, when God's patience waited during the building of the ark in which a few [people], actually eight in number, were saved through water. Amplified Love in Christ bgg |

45 | Did God elect me? Or did I elect Him? | John 6:37 | childoftheking | 36128 | ||
Greetings Chynna, There's nothing wrong and certainly nothing to be ashamed of in sharing your testimony. It may be that someone else has gone through, or is going through what you did and be helped by what you've shared. There are many who are or have been disobedient or resistant to what the Lord wants us to do and I myself have been this way in times past and it's hard for the Lord to work with us when we don't do what he wants. It's kind of like this, If the Lord gives us step 1, as in he wants us to do something, then we'll never get to step # 2 if we don't complete step 1, and this is what I think he meant by losing you. I personally don't believe that Baptism is a prerequisite of Salvation, but of obedience after we're saved, which seems to be your case. You can do a search concerning baptism also. I believe that God has a hand in all Salvations as far as drawing them. John 6:44 "No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up on the last day." John 12:32 "And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me." It may also be that after reading the throng of posts on the subject of election that your curiosity will still not be satisfied and if that's the case then I suggest you ask another question. God Bless bgg |

46 | Study the Word, Calvin, or Aminian??? | John 6:65 | childoftheking | 35192 | ||
Hello all, I'm new to the forum and I've been reading a lot concerning Calvinism and Aminianism. Since there has been a lot of discussion on these men, I have recently looked into it in an attempt to educate myself on their works. As far as TULIP goes, I don’t agree with all of that nor do I agree with all of what the Arminianist says regarding it. This is just my view from reading off of different websites that explained each view. I have no less than 3 commentaries (Matthew Henry, Matthew Poole and a couple others) that I read and when studying a certain subject or book, I add a few more books to get a wide variety of views on the subject that I can compare with my own. I do not agree 100 percent with what any one particular person says. In explaining things of the Bible to people I will sometimes quote what another has written only because he explains it a little better. I'm just trying to get a handle on this whole debate. I just think that time would be best spent in studying the Bible, and the life of Jesus, how he wants us to live, things of that nature, and not constantly debating the works of Calvin and Arminian. My question is this and not meant to offend anyone but is it not dangerous to put so much emphasis on any Man’s doctrines, to follow them so faithfully and blindly, to just quote what these people have to say and call it gospel? Again, this is not meant as an attack on anyone individual, just my observation as a newcomer to the Forum Thanks for your time, Peace and Joy in Jesus bgg |

47 | Study the Word, Calvin, or Aminian??? | John 6:65 | childoftheking | 35258 | ||
Thank you Joe for the welcome and your reply. Interesting choice of verse too by the way :) So from what you say here, and by your profile name, I gather that you're a follower of Calvin? An ism is a belief (or system of beliefs) accepted as authoritative by some group or school. From http://www.xenos.org/classes/principles/cpu1w6.htm#a4 Calvinism: This term is actually a misnomer. Calvin did not emphasize predestination in his Institutes (only 4 chapters). Calvin warned against delving too deeply into this subject (John Calvin, Institutes of the Christian Religion, Book 3, Chapter 21, section 1). However, it became the controlling principle in Reformed Theology, expressed by the Synod of Dort in 1618-1619. I respect your views and thank you again for your reply. Peace and Joy in the Lord bgg |

48 | Study the Word, Calvin, or Aminian??? | John 6:65 | childoftheking | 35417 | ||
Hello Makarios, As you call yourself an Arminian, I thank you for sharing a non defensive point of view. I don't completely understand what you meant in the second sentence of the second paragraph. I will need to ponder what you meant concerning grace. I too believe in eternal security and I also believe in the sovereignty of God. I believe before the world was formed, that God knew exaclty who was to accept Jesus as their saviour and who wasn't. God knows all future events in my opinion and I believe that Jesus died for everyone. I believe that the Holy Spirit draws people to Jesus but all do not accept him. The bible does say that no one can come to Jesus unless God draws them right? No one can seek out Jesus on their own if I'm not mistaken? What about the rich young man who came seeking Jesus about how to obtain eternal life? So one can say that he was drawn to Jesus by the Holy Spirit but did not accept the Words of Jesus on how to obtain eternal life. He walked away and chose to reject our Lord. It also begs another question. The bible teaches that we are to come as we are and that there is nothing we have to do of ourselves to obtain Salvation. Why then did this man have to sell all he had? I kind of think that if he accepted what Jesus said in his heart that he wouldn't have had to sell everything. Kind of in the same fashion as how God stopped Moses from sacrificing his son. Just some thoughts. Thank you again for sharing your beliefs. Peace and Joy in Jesus, bgg |

49 | how do i pray and leave it with the lord | John 15:5 | childoftheking | 36710 | ||
Hi MRkormmann, Sure this is a bible question. First off, as the above verse says, we can't do anything apart from Christ and that includes quitting smoking. Deliverance of anything from the enemy is well within your grasp. Do not give in to the enemy. Stay in prayer. James 4:7 "Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you." James 4:10 "Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up" There's always a way out for us and it's a promise from God. 1 Corinthians 10:13 "No temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man; and God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, so that you will be able to endure it" I will certainly stand with you in prayer to rebuke the enemy and that the desire for smoking be gone in the name of JESUS!! Matthew 18:19 Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven" John 14:13-14 "And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14) If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it. I can go into more detail here but if you like, you can e-mail me and we'll correspond that way. Just click "childoftheking" and look at my profile. Love in Christ bgg |

50 | Divisions and disunity?? | John 17:21 | childoftheking | 35477 | ||
Hi Seeking, I agree with you to a point. Surely a host of bickering among Christians and with all the different denominations; it can be a deterrent to some, but as followers of Christ, I think that if you believe something different than another, then you should speak up and voice your views. There is nothing wrong with that, and we certainly are not to stand by if someone is teaching a false doctrine, be he a Christian or otherwise. That would be the same as agreeing with it. . In my opinion it’s a must to voice our views, not incessantly, but as Paul did in Galatians 1. We are taught in the Bible to prove all things 2 Timothy 4:2 “preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with great patience and instruction.” Titus 1:13 “This testimony is true. For this reason reprove them severely so that they may be sound in the faith,” Titus 2:15 “These things speak and exhort and reprove with all authority. Let no one disregard you.” As was said in a previous post, Aaron died because he stood by and watched Moses strike the rock to extract water instead of speaking up and telling him that it wasn't the way God said to do it. Thanks for listening Peace and Joy in Jesus bgg |

52 | Divisions and disunity?? | John 17:21 | childoftheking | 35649 | ||
Brian My point is how non-believers see Christians. I am not focusing on or attacking any denominations. My point is the contention between Christians must be kept to a minimum. Non believers watch Christians very closely to see how we act and respond to situations, what we say, how we live and what we believe. Some have said that we should be perfect if we're to profess that we're Christians and followers of Jesus. Romans 14, Ephesians 4 My point with Denominations is that between Lutheran, Protestant, Episcopalian, Congregationalist, Roman Catholic, Methodist, Presbyterian, Baptist, Adventist, Pentecostal, Evangelical and whatever other Denominations are out there, it can be intimidating to some. They wonder why there are so many different religions and denominations and wonder which is right or if it's even worth it. Me, I am simply a born again Christian!! No better or worse than anyone in a particualr Denomination. As per Mark 9:38 – 40: I’m not exactly sure what this verse has to do with what I’m trying to get across. I am certainly not going to forbid any one from preaching the Gospel and I certainly don’t judge anyone but if I don’t believe something is scriptural I will voice my opinion. I am certainly not always correct. Why did Jesus tell John not to forbid him? It is only God who knows the heart of man It’s obvious from the passages below that everyone that uses the Name of Jesus will not get to heaven. Matthew 7 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. Does this answer your question Brian? bgg |

53 | Crusifiction of Christ | John 19:17 | childoftheking | 40770 | ||
I know you meant denominations but demonations is close (even though it's not a word) as it's right out of the pit of hell to teach that Jesus was not crucified on the cross. You should be asking the ones who are teaching that to provide you with scripture. Here's some more verses to compliment what heisthe1 posted. Hebrews 12:2 "Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God." KJV Thank you Jesus!! Phil 2:8 "And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross." KJV Acts 5:30 "The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom you had put to death by hanging Him on a cross." NASB (some translations say "tree") Acts 10:39 "We are witnesses of all the things He did both in the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem. They also put Him to death by hanging Him on a cross." NASB Acts 13:29 "When they had carried out all that was written concerning Him, they took Him down from the cross and laid Him in a tomb." NASB 1 Peter 2:24 "and He Himself bore our sins in His body on the cross, so that we might die to sin and live to righteousness; for by His wounds you were healed." NASB Praise God!!! bgg |

Tim, Thanks, You did a fine job in expanding my knowledge in this area along with Makarios' reply and the web site. I don't particularly care for the NIV translation but I don't see much need for worry here. It makes sense why some verses are not included although they show most in the footnotes. God Bless bgg |

57 | What does Fear God really mean? | Acts 13:16 | childoftheking | 35365 | ||
Hi Wak, To Fear God, or the Fear of the Lord certainly has to do with "awe" but it also encompasses the "fear" as we use it today. It can be defined as, but not limited to: awe, reverence, respect, and to fear morally or reverential respect. Proverbs 8:13 "The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate. Proverbs 2 1 My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee; 2 So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding; 3 Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding; 4 If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures; 5 Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God. Fear of the Lord, as in the above verses (Yirah) is only found in the Old Testament Fear the Lord (Yare) is also only found in the Old Testament as in Proverbs 3:7 "Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the LORD and turn away from evil. Ps 145:6 “Men shall speak of the power of Your awesome acts, And I will tell of Your greatness.” The word awesome also comes from (Yare) which in the KJV is “terrible” and the Amplified version also uses “tremendous”. To Fear God as it's used in the New Testament would be (phobeo) which is from phobos; from phebomai) (Phobos) to frighten, i.e. (passively) to be alarmed; by analogy, to be in awe of, i.e. revere:--be ( sore) afraid, fear (exceedingly), reverence. Luke 7:16 ”Fear gripped them all, and they began glorifying God, saying, "A great prophet has arisen among us!" and, "God has visited His people!” (Phobeo) from a primary phebomai (to be put in fear); alarm or fright:--be afraid, exceedingly, fear, terror. Luke 23:40 ”But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?” Please correct me if I am mistaken here. Hope this helps bgg |

Hello Hank, Thanks for the additons to the meaning of "fear of the Lord". Jesus, old Buddy eh? Well we are supposed to have a personal relationship with him but that's worse than introducing ones wife as your old buddy. Your wife should be your best friend outside of our Lord but the beginning of that prayer is not at all how to address our Lord. What "old master preachers" would you be referring to? Thanks for the welcoming words and I will be visiting this forum for as you say "to receive nourishment, and to nourish others all to the Glory of God". Of course as long as it does not take me away from my personal time of studying the word and being alone with the Lord. :) Peace and Joy in Jesus bgg |

Hey I like that one about how John reacted in Rev. 1 Joe. Very good indeed, and the Lord's wonderful, compassionate response as Jesus touched him on the shoulder and said "Fear Not, I am the first and the last, I am he that liveth and was dead and behold, (I love that word)I am alive for evermore..." Praise God, That's great stuff!! bgg |

You ever think that after all the time John the Baptist was out there preaching of the coming of our Saviour that when he finally saw Jesus and said "Behold, the Lamb of God...", that he said it loudly, with enthusiasm, and with an emphatic, assertive exuberance? |
