41 | Do homosexual tendencys constitute sin? | Lev 20:13 | hobbs | 185098 | ||
By the grace of God, we who seek to be obediant to the commands of Christ, have indeed "put to death" and are "putting to death" those earthly things of which Paul spoke of. But the battle will continue til Christ returns or we ourselves are laid to rest in the grave, our spirits departing to bliss in the presence of our Lord and King. To nurture sin is a sin in itself. I was told by a wise man "if you don't want to slip, stay away from slippery places :-) Hobbs |

42 | Do homosexual tendencys constitute sin? | Lev 20:13 | hobbs | 185096 | ||
I suppose that the reason for my addressing this issue was to remind myself and others of our own absolute reliance on the grace of God when temptation has us in it's grip. We all have expeienced it's powerful influence in one way or another. With our own painful experiences in mind, I pray that it will work meekness in our own hearts, and cause us to think twice before judging even the worst sins of others. Well...my dog is prancing about my chair and wants OUT!!! Later, Hobbs |

43 | Do homosexual tendencys constitute sin? | Lev 20:13 | hobbs | 185090 | ||
Thanks for your input Mark... The reason I posted my question is that I believe that certain sins are treated as especially egregious, not necessarily because the Bible sees them as such, but for politcal and cultural reasons. We all have sinned and have fallen short of the glory of God. Therefore I believe it behooves us as christians to be meek and loving to all...keeping in mind that but for the grace of God...we might have found ourselves strugling against this terrible temptation. In my mind, Heterosexual sin is just as hard for most of us. Rom 2:1 Therefore you have no excuse, O man, every one of you who judges. For in passing judgment on another you condemn yourself, because you, the judge, practice the very same things. Hobbs |

44 | Do homosexual tendencys constitute sin? | Lev 20:13 | hobbs | 185088 | ||
I am not certain that homosexual desires are in themselves sinful. It appear to me that it is in the practice of it where the sin is committed. In the thread that dealt with the temptations experienced by our Lord Jesus the consensus was that mere temptation did NOT constitute sin. Am I off base? Hobbs |

45 | Are women part of covenant? | Gal 3:29 | hobbs | 184970 | ||
ROMANS 2 25 For circumcision indeed is of value if you obey the law, but if you break the law, your circumcision becomes uncircumcision. 26 So, if a man who is uncircumcised keeps the precepts of the law, will not his uncircumcision be regarded [2] as circumcision? 27 Then he who is physically uncircumcised but keeps the law will condemn you who have the written code [3] and circumcision but break the law. 28 For no one is a Jew who is merely one outwardly, nor is circumcision outward and physical. 29 But a Jew is one inwardly, and circumcision is a matter of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the letter. His praise is not from man but from God. |

Rom 14:23 But he who doubts is condemned if he eats, because his eating is not from faith; and whatever is not from faith is sin. (sorry about the typo in my previous response. |

Baptist pastor, John Piper, has written on this very topic. Perhaps it may be of help. http://www.desiringgod.org/ResourceLibrary/Articles/ByDate/1995/1580_Are_There_Two_Wills_in_God/ Hobbs |

49 | Will everyone who asks be saved? | Joel 2:32 | hobbs | 182863 | ||
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 6:45 "It is written in the prophets, 'AND THEY SHALL ALL BE TAUGHT OF GOD.' Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father, comes to Me. John 6:46 "Not that anyone has seen the Father, except the One who is from God; He has seen the Father. John 6:47 "Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes has eternal life. Those who seek the Lord do so because they been drawn by the Father. They do so for they have been taught and have learned. They are truly the Elect of God. Read John 6 in it's entirety; its meaning is unmistakeable. God Bless, Hobbs |

50 | What is blocking us from God's love? | Rom 8:39 | hobbs | 181653 | ||
Gal 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,... The source of our love for Jesus is a direct consequence of our being conected to his love for us. I wish you all a blessed and prosperous new year! Hobbs |

51 | What is blocking us from God's love? | Rom 8:39 | hobbs | 181378 | ||
Rom 5:5 and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us. I ,for one, do not love God to the degree and constancy that He is deserving of. However, I am not without hope. The verses which you used seem to put the burden of maintaining our relationship with Christ squarely on the shoulders of the believer. That is to say that our security in Christ depends on our ability to love Him as we ought. To me that mindset leads inevitably to salvation through works. |

52 | What is blocking us from God's love? | Rom 8:39 | hobbs | 181360 | ||
I believe the answer to your question may be found in the context of the chapter itself. True believers (those who believe and hold that the the Bible is the "WORD OF GOD"). 15:3 "You are already clean because of the word" ... True believers are those whom God has chosen... 15:16 "You did not choose Me but I chose you, and appointed you that you would go and bear fruit, and that your fruit would remain,...Branches cannot bear fruit if they are not connected to the vine! Therefore, Jesus is differentiating between true believers and those who merely profess themselves to be believers. |

53 | Should fornicators be leaders in church | Ps 111:1 | hobbs | 177874 | ||
Bereaniam, correct me if i'm mistaken ...but the position of "lead praise singer" is not a position of leadership in the Body of Christ. Hobbs |

54 | how do I fight enemy in my dreams | Rom 8:28 | hobbs | 177050 | ||
My own favorite weapon from God's arsenal is Romans 8:28 "for we know that all things work together for good for those who love God and have been called according to His purpose". Therefore, even nightmares have a purpose and a place in our ongoing sanctification. Put on the full armour of God. |

55 | Why did God Provide us with Free Will | 1 John 4:16 | hobbs | 175613 | ||
Dear young grasshopper, please define "free will'. Do you mean? Free from sin? Free from God's decree? Free from what? Hobbs |

56 | Will worshiping the Lord change in Rev? | Deut 11:19 | hobbs | 175438 | ||
Dear Searcher, In answer to your Question, I offer the following verses. 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. Rom 8:28 And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. Eph 2:8 For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; I dare to say that the Church is not yet wholly sanctified; neither does it comprehend God's Word perfectly. Nevertheless, each and every saint has the righteousness of Christ imputed to him/her. We will be to occupied with oferring Him praises to even think of ourselves and the flaws that caused our groaning in the world that has now been replaced. Hobbs |

57 | Does child die for fathers sin? | Bible general Archive 3 | hobbs | 174421 | ||
Welcome Lady! Although I understand your distress regarding the death of the infant, I must disagree with the paralells you drew that might show a pre-figureing of the child with birth and death of Christ. David's child was not sinless, but was born (as are all the decendents of Adam) bearing the stain of "original sin". God established His covenant with the people of Israel not it's king. David was not the federal head of the people as the first Adam was for all his seed. Christ, the 2nd and "Last Adam" is the federal head for all "His people" (spiritual seed). Our comfort comes from the knowledge that the death of this child was ordained by a loving God who always does that which is good in His sight. God Bless, Hobbs |

Dear AJJR, Curiously, Calvin does expound on Genesis 4:26 in his commentary on Genesis. John |

60 | What if you never heard of God before? | Rom 3:11 | hobbs | 174170 | ||
Dear Gen, The sad fact is that no son of Adam has any regard at all for God or His Christ! Rom 3:11 THERE IS NONE WHO UNDERSTANDS, THERE IS NONE WHO SEEKS FOR GOD; Rom 3:12 ALL HAVE TURNED ASIDE, TOGETHER THEY HAVE BECOME USELESS; THERE IS NONE WHO DOES GOOD, THERE IS NOT EVEN ONE." 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. If man's only hope lay in his capacity to believe in and to desire Christ, not one single person would escape the wrath of God...NOT EVEN ONE! John |
