41 | Are we all born with the Holy Spirit? | 1 Cor 2:14 | ebrain | 187277 | ||
If you mean, are we all born with the Holy Spirit already within us, then the answer is no we are not, as the first verse bellow indicates, but if we do what is described in the next verse, then what is described in both verses will apply. 1 Cor 2:14 But a natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually appraised. Eph 1:13 In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation--having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise, Eph 1:14 who is given as a pledge of our inheritance, with a view to the redemption of God's own possession, to the praise of His glory. I hope that this helps you. ebrain. |

42 | A living understanding of Matt. 6:13?? | NT general Archive 1 | ebrain | 187275 | ||
Hi BadgerBob. You quoted. Matt 6:13 'And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from evil. [For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.]' Our Father will never tempt anyone, but He will however, allow you to be tempted, but only so far as He knows that you can be tempted without falling, see. 1 Cor 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. 1 Cor 10:14 Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry. The following verses may also be of help. James 1:13 Let no one say when he is tempted, "I am being tempted by God"; for God cannot be tempted by evil, and He Himself does not tempt anyone. James 1:14 But each one is tempted when he is carried away and enticed by his own lust. James 1:15 Then when lust has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and when sin is accomplished, it brings forth death. John 1:8 If we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us. 1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar and His word is not in us. 1 John 2:1 My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous; 1 John 2:2 and He Himself is the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for those of the whole world. May the Lord bless you, and keep you safe. ebrain. |

Your post of 8.06 pm yesterday confirms what I suspected, that your previous one was nothing more than pure sarcasm. Many visitors to this site, who are looking for help, and advice, will have and concluded that Christians are compassionate, and love one another.. What do you suppose they will think when they read material like yours, which is both uncalled for, and insulting to the recipient. |

Subject: Speculation. Specualtion can be good, or bad, it can bless, or introduce error. If, Speculation is to be of any value it must satisfy certain criteria. 1. It must honor the Lord our God, and cause people to praise, and glorify His Holy Name. 2. It must honor the person, and work of our Lord Jesus Christ. 3. It must be in agreement with all the other verses of Scripture that have something to say on that subject. 4. It must be of benefit to believers, and enable them to be more Christ like. If it does in fact satisfy all the above, then I think it is worth considering. |

49 | E-Security only for true believers? | Matt 7:21 | ebrain | 186978 | ||
You asked. "How can one be certain they are a genuine believer and thus certain that they are in possession of eternal security?" Mat 7:16 "You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? Mat 7:20 "Therefore by their fruits you will know them. Rom 8:16 The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, Hope this helps. ebrain. |

The persons refereed to at this verse, and the next, are not born again Christians. Please read both verses, and then read my comments which follow. Mat 7:22 "Many will say to Me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?' Mat 7:23 "And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!' Firstly, no real genuine article born again Christian would dream of boasting of what they have done when they meet the Lord Jesus. Secondly Jesus said, "I never knew you", which means that He never entered into their body in the person of His other self, the Holy Spirit, therefore, this person was never a believer, despite what he says. Note, be very careful, just because a person has done many wonders in His name, that does not mean that he is the real thing, remember the Devil can appear like an angel of light. 2Cr 11:13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ. 2Cr 11:14 And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light. 2Cr 11:15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works. Jesus is using the expression "knew you", in the Biblical sense, see Gen 4:1 NOW Adam knew Eve his wife, and she conceived and bore Cain, and said, "I have acquired a man from the LORD." See also, Eph 1:13 In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, Eph 1:14 who* is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory. I hope that this is of help to you. ebrain |

Edwin. "Allow me to make a statement that I know you will wholeheartedly agree with, and then let me ask you ask you a question.

Hi Hank. Thank you so much for your kind words of support, which I find most informative, and very encouraging. Allow me to make a statement that I know you will wholeheartedly agree with, and then let me ask you ask you a question. Firstly the statement. Adam was made, sinlessly perfect, in the image of God, and after His likeness, also Adam was not deceived. And now the question. What sort of image of God, did Adam who was sinlessly perfect, and not deceived give? ebrain. |

Continuation. From the Satanic view point of wishing to destroy God's creation, he had 3 possible approaches, 1 the pair when they were together, 2 the man when he was by himself, or 3 the woman when she was by herself. Now which of these 3 do you think would be the most likely to succeed from the Devils' point of view. What is needed here of course is commentary, Divine commentary not man's opinion. Lets have a look then at Romans Ch 5 v 14. and also 1st Tim Ch 2 vs 13-15. We learn from Romans that Adam was a Type (Pattern)of Him who was to come, remember that The Lord Jesus who knew no sin permitted Himself to be made sin to save His Bride. 1st Timothy says that She(Eve) shall be saved in the childbearing. Now how much childbearing had she done?, non, can she fertilize herself ?, no. Now assuming that Adam was else ware at the time of the temptation, when he returned to his wife, he was horrified to see that she had fallen into temptation, she is now cut off from him, and lost for ever, as she is going to hell. Adam is still sinlessly perfect (As God had made him) and sinlessness can have no contact with sin. He loves his wife with a pure and holy love as no fallen man can have any idea of. The next generation of the Human race has not yet been started, and if it were not to be started then the kinsman redeemer could not be born into it. The only way in which mankind can continue, is if Adam becomes like Eve, a sinner, remember, he is not deceived, he knows just what he is doing. he does not go to the tree as she had done, but takes the fruit from her hand and partakes thereof. Symbolic of Jesus taking our sin to Himself Now what sort of likeness of God do we get. A Self sacrificing Hero who became sin for us, or a Wimp. I know which likeness I prefer, how about you. In Him stbrain I find myself in complete, and total agreement with what "stbrain" had to say. There are, however, two points that might be worth mentioning. Firstly some people will point out that Gen Ch 3 v 6b. says that "he was with her". Well of course he was with her, how else could he have taken the fruit from her in the first place?. He had to be there. Why is there no mention whatsoever of Adam in all the six verses, until after the fruit was taken by Eve?. Why is The Holy Spirit telling us the obvious?. Well perhaps He is not, it might just be His rather subtle way of telling us that Adam was not there all the time. Now the second point, Who told Adam how to save Eve?. I will tell you the answer to that one, when you tell me how Noah knew the difference between "Clean", and "Unclean" at Gen Ch 7 v 2. Yours in His service. pabrain. Note. Let me explain why I sometimes used "stbrain", and at other times "pabrain". The material above is taken from contributions I made some time ago to www.BibleStudy.com for some technical reason it was not always possible to go on line using pabrain, if that was the case I would then use stbrain. |

56 | Would Adam and Eve have fallen? | Gen 3:13 | ebrain | 186915 | ||
Hi Vincent. Your question made me think that what follows might be of interest. May the Lord bless you, and keep you safe. ebrain. Subject: Fw: The Fall. The popular view on Genesis Ch 3, certainly in this Country is that Adam was a wimp, in that he did nothing to help his wife when she was tempted, however, my investigations have shown him to be a hero. I am interested to find out if others can arrive, or have arrived at the same conclusion. If you have not considered this matter,and wish to do so then I would suggest that you avoid human commentaries, and rely solely on the Divine commentary. The Bible is the best commentary there is on the Bible. Just look at what the word of God has to say else ware about Adam, Eve, and the fall. Good hunting. Yours in Christ. pabrain Time is somewhat limited at the moment, so I will have to be brief. Read Romans Ch 5 v 14. and ask yourself what is meant by Adam being a Type of Him who was to come? What did Jesus do to save His Bride, what did Adam do to save his Bride? Read 2 Cor Ch 5 v 21. "He who knew no sin permitted Himself to be made sin" Also don't forget that Adam was not deceived 2nd Tim Ch 2 v 14. He knew exactly what he was doing. Now how does v15 say that Eve would be saved?. Did Adam go to the tree to obtain the fruit as She did, no he went to her and took the fruit from her,,, he took her sin upon himself. Don't worry about the second part of v 6 of Gen Ch 3. I will explain that another time. Must close now. In Him pabrain My reason for asking this question in the first place was to find out if anyone else arrived at the same conclusion that I had. I once heard a Speaker describe Adam as "A hopeless, helpless, useless, spineless good for nothing, who did not even raise a finger to help his wife who he could clearly see was in danger of disobeying God". The Speaker went on to say that "Eve at least put up token resistance, and as we know from Scripture she was deceived, we also know that Adam was not deceived, which really puts him beneath contempt". All this I found difficult to accept, it did not gel, it did not seem to have the ring of truth. My approach was two fold, firstly from the Divine view point, and secondly from the Satanic view point. The Lord our God created/made all things in 6 days. His comment on the first 5 days was "It is good", regarding the 6th day He said "It is very good" This was the day in which He made man both the male, and the female. I do not think it would be an exaggeration to say that the making of man was for God "The supreme pinnacle of Divine creative genius". He made man in the image of God, and after His likeness, so what likeness of God does Adam display? hopeless, helpless? oh no never, never, not the God that I know. could we say to our Lord "Is this the best that You can do?" I think not. To be continued. In Him stbrain |

57 | Why is it not relevant today? | Matt 12:31 | ebrain | 186912 | ||
Hi again M.Royal. Mat 12:31 "Therefore I say to you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven men. Mat 12:32 "Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, either in this age or in the age to come. It is relevant today.. You will note that at the end of verse 32 Jesus says, " either in this age or in the age to come." in other words, not only would it not be forgiven then, but not in the future either.. Again in verse 32, this unforgivable sin is described as, "whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit". Now speaking of the Holy Spirit, it is written of Him,, Jhn 16:8 "And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:" Now I would say that "speaking against the Holy Spirit" is the same as calling Him a liar. The only way in which a person can be saved, is as a result of accepting the Holy Spirit's conviction that he/she is a sinner, and in desperate need of God's forgiveness,, if the person in question says, "No I am not a sinner", then that is the same as calling the Holy Spirit a liar, and as a result that individual will not be forgiven. |

Hi M.Royal. As you can see from the extract given bellow, the words, to which you refer do not appear in some manuscripts. however, if we accept them as being true, then, Jesus would be refereeing to the Roman soldiers, and not the Pharisees Luk 23:34 And Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.”[fn2] And they cast lots to divide his garments. 23:34 Some manuscripts omit the sentence And Jesus… what they do ebrain. |

59 | Who is this woman? | Rev 18:4 | ebrain | 186904 | ||
Hi Searcher56. In order to put your question into perspective, it would be wise to read the whole of Chapters 17, and 18, from which the extracts bellow have been taken. Rev 17:4 The woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the filthiness of her fornication.[fn2] Rev 17:5 And on her forehead a name was written: MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. Rev 17:18 "And the woman whom you saw is that great city which reigns over the kings of the earth." I have heard it said, that the city refereed to in v 18, is "Rome", the home of the false religion known as the, "Roman Catholic Church", others, however, will I have no doubt have something to say on this subject. ebrain. |

Hi John. Re, your references to, Shem and Ham and Japheth. It might be of interest to note that the three persons whose salvations are described in Acts from Ch 8:26 to Ch 10:48, are the descendants of the three sons of Noah.. The Ethiopian is a descendant of Ham, Saul is a descendant of Shem, and Cornelius is a descendant of Japheth. Not without significance I feel sure. ebrain. |
