41 | 4th commandment has been done away? | Ps 111:7 | rferg | 57990 | ||
Chris, The Ten Commandments are good, spiritual and holy why wouldn't God want us to obey them? Can you imagine what this world would be like if every person obeyed them. No more murder, adultry (broken homes), etc. The first four commandments teach US how to love GOD. 1)Thou shall not have any other gods before me 2)Thou shall not make unto thee any graven images,thou shall not bow down to them for serve them, for I am a jealous God. 3)Thou shall not take the Lord thy Gods name in Vain. (say we believe in God and live opposite to what his word teaches) 4)remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shall you labor, and do all they work; but the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God. (Not resurrection Sunday) HOw do you know if you love God? By obeying his commandments. The last 6 teach US how to love one another. 5)honor your father and mother 6)Thou shall not kill 7)Thou sall not commit adultry 8)Thou shall not steal 9)Thou shall not bear false witness against thy neighbor. 10)Thou shall not covet they neighbours house. Why wouldn't you want to learn to practice these commandments because you love God. You have a choice. When you are born again God places them in your heart and writes them on your mind. I believe the only issue with the Ten Commandments is trying to justify why we keep 9 of the Ten. This is called taking away from the Word of God. There is no bondage in keeping the Ten Commandments. All of us break the Ten Commandments, bless God He is merciful and forgives us when we realize and repent. |

42 | Simple example that we shoud keep sabbat | Ps 111:7 | rferg | 57993 | ||
Is this passage in Hebrews not a simple and clear picture that the seventh day sabbath of rest is still binding today? This passage is in the NT. Jesus is our example! Read the entire chapter of Ex. 16 they refused to obey God. Hebrew 4 Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it. 2For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unt them; but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.3 For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said. As I have swarn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest; althought the words were finished from the foundation of the world (creation I presume)4For he spoke in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the sevent day from all his works. 5 And in this place again, if they shall enter into my rest. 6. Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief;7 Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, Today after so long a time; as it is said today if you will hear his voice, harden not your hearts. 8 For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day.9 There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. 10For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his works, as God did from his. 11 Let us labour there to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief. |

43 | Simple example that we shoud keep sabbat | Ps 111:7 | rferg | 58121 | ||
Friend, It's not a sin to worship God on any day. We all should worship everyday. But make no mistake there is one day, the Sabbath that is Holy, sanctified and set apart, and we are commanded not to do any work on it. We are also commanded to keep the Ten Commandments, the fourth stating to keep the Sabbath (seventh day) Holy and not to do any work. Looking at the example of the disciples...they kept the Sabbath Holy, even when Jesus had died. They waited until the Sabbath was over before going to Jesus early the next morning, first day of the week (our Sunday). God is very systematic and this follows suit of when the heavens and the earth were created, God rested from all his works on the Sabbath (seventh day). Can you show me any where in the bible where it says Sunday or the first day of the week is a holy day set apart to Worship God? Can you show me anywhere in the bible it tells us to worship together on the day of resurrection? Can you imagine if every "Christian" kept all the Ten Commandments? We would really be a witness for our God. The church would be set apart known to the world. Thanks for letting me share! |

49 | Which commandments are we to keep? | Matt 22:34 | rferg | 71466 | ||
In the book of Revelation 3 different times it discribes the church Jesus is returning for. Rev. 12:17,14:12,22:14 they keep the commadments and the testimony of Jesus Christ. In 1 John 2:3 And by this we know that we know that we have come to know Him, if we keep His commandments. 4The one who says I know Him, and does not keep His commandments is a liar,and the truth is not in him. The rich young ruler in Mark 10:17 ask Jesus what he must do to enter the Kingdom of God and Jesus quoted the last six of the Ten Commandments which teach us to love our neighbor as our self. Which commandments is the bible referring to in the NT is my qustion? |
||||||
50 | Are the Ten Commandments a Covenant | Matt 22:34 | rferg | 71471 | ||
Are you saying then commandments the bible is reffering to is the Ten Commandments? The first 4 teach us to love God and the last 6 teac us to love our neighbor. All the law would hang on these two commandments? Wasn't the Ten Commandments a Covenant? Many covenants from the OT are still in effect, such as the Rainbow. Could this covenant still be in effect? | ||||||
51 | Was John's Baptism One of Repentance? | Mark 1:4 | rferg | 56290 | ||
Yes, John's baptism is one of repentance. "Sin", is breaking the spiritual law of God the "Ten commandments." If you look at the Ten Commandments you will soon realize you have broken them, that means you along with every one else born into this world is a sinner. Baptism represents several things. When you repent (ask God to forgive you of your sins)you show your belief by baptism (you are confessing God before men), the water represents the grave, you die to the flesh and are reborn of the Spirit. You must be born again to enter the kingdom of God (read all of JOhn 3). Now you are under the faith of grace and can choose to practice obeying the Ten Commandments. |

52 | Rich Young Ruler | Mark 10:17 | rferg | 71345 | ||
Mark 10:17 And as He was setting out on a jouney, a man ran up to Him and knelt before Him, and began asking Him, Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? In verse 18 he recognizes Jesus as God. In verse 19 Jesus quotes 6 of the Ten Commandemtns. In 20 the man states to Jesus that he has kept them from his youth (yes he has been raised in some kind of Biblical setting). 21 And looking at him, Jesus felt a love for him, and said to him, "One thing you lack: go and sell all your possessions, and give them to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven: and come, follow Me. 1. One point I find interesting is the fact that we in the Christian Chruch are taught that we are no longer under the Law. Most Christians include the Ten Commandments as part of the Law, which would mean they wouldn't be applicable in the NT. But we clearly see Jesus quoting the last six of the TC and using them to anwser a very important question. The first four commanments teach us to love God the last six teach us how to love our neighbor. 2. The rich young ruler was obviously rich. He states he has kept these commandments but yet is not willing to take an extra step to sell his possessions and give to the poor (his neighbors). 3. This also shows a lack of trust in God, which all thing come from. 4. The man new the letter but not by the Spirit of God, which is love. Jesus knew his heart. I hope this helps! |

53 | John 1:1 and the word was a god | John 1:1 | rferg | 71496 | ||
Good day Tim, I appreciate your point of view. But this is the same type of information one denomination after another has given the body of Christ for years and it doesn't make sense or add up. Your average person doesn't know greek or hewbrew and all the other information you wrote to prove your right. And frankly my mind is to small to comprehend that "being someone" and "with someone" are the same. But maybe you need to be a Pastor, super spiritual or a student of Greek and Hebrew. I agree with your first paragraph completely. In the books of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John they all start by proving the diety of Jesus Christ, that He is God (the Son) and that He (Jesus the Son) came from God (His Father-Abba Father is His name). Many scriptures seem to be comfusing because we keep trying to make them say something they don't, to prove the rightness of the denomination we are in. I'm not speaking to you but to all religious groups. Are we trying to prove the denomination we are in right or find the truth for ourselves? I have a different approach. You probably haven't heard this before so don't get to hasty. Just think it through. I have a limited education and have sought the answer to the truth about the trinity for years. I prayed and ask God to help me understand so I could love something or someone who was real to me. I recieved this word picture so to speak. I took a piece of paper and drew a line down the middle, on the left side I wrote earthly family on the right side I wrote Heavenly family, which stood for spiritual family. On the left I wrote the names of all the people in our family. Then I wrote the name of the Father God, Jesus -Son of God and the Holy Spirit of God, one on top of the other. Then I circled the last names in our earthly family and then the name "God" which was after the Abba, Jesus and Holy Spirit. After seeing this I asked myself a few questions. We have 5 members in our family and we are ONE family even though we have many members. There is a chain of command and we all have different functions. In our earthly family we are all born with the same nature (sinful) until we are baptized into the body of Christ. Then I asked myself the same questions about the Heavenly family. They (the Father, Son and Holy Spirit) are "ONE GOD" (one family) with more than one member. They have the same nature (righteous) there is a chain of command, the Father is superior to the Son but they have different functions. Like the earthly family their family can also be added to when we are born again we are now children of God (family of God). No, I'm not saying we are God's. I'm saying we now have the righteousness of Jesus Christ and being transformed each day. When we see the word God, Lord, HE, I used we should ask ourselves God who? We see them seperately at times and collectively (all together) Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) created the heavens and the earth. Prov.8:22 The Lord (Father) possessed me (Jesus) at the beginning of His way, Before His (the Fathers) works of old. 23 From everlasting I (Jeus the Son) was established. From the beginning, from the earlies of times of the earth. 24 When there were no depths I (Jesus) was brought forth, When there were no springs abounding with water. 25 Before the mountains were settled, Before the hills I (Jesus) was brought forth;26 While He (Father) had not yet made the earth and the fields, Nor the first dust of the world. 27 When He (Father) established the heavens I (Jesus) was there, When He (the Father)inscribed a circle on the face of the deep, 28 When He (Father) made firm the skies above, When the springs of the deep became fixed, 29 When He (the Father) set for the sea its boundary, So that the water shold not transgress His (Fathers) command, When He (Father) marked out the foundations of the earth; 30 Then I (Jesus) was beside Him (The Father), as a master workman; And I (Jesus his Son) was daily His (Fathers) delight, Rejoicing alsways before Him (His Father), 31 Rejoicing in the world, His earth, And having my (Jesus') delight in the sons of men. Apply this same principal to John 1:1 and it will make perfect sense. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. Who was the Word? John1:14 (Jesus the Son of God) and Word (Jesus the Son of God) was with God. God who? His Father God. John1:2 He was in the beginning with God. Who was He (Jesus) was in the beginning with God. God who? His Father. When Jesus is baptized the heavens are open and the Father says this is my Son whom I am well pleased and the Holy Spirit ascends upon Him (Jesus) as a dove. Here we see all three seperately. This is so simple and not confusing (God is not a God of confustion) anyone could understand it even a child. It follows suit through out the bible and makes hundreds of other scriptures make simple sense. Sincerely |

56 | When does newness of life start? | Rom 6:4 | rferg | 56300 | ||
Life begins at baptism. We are dead until we are born of the Spirit through baptism. Read all of John 3. Notice Nicodemus came to Jesus and said we know who you are. They knew he was the Christ by the signs that followed him. But even though Nicodemus knew who he was he asked this question, "What must I do to enter he kingom of God?" Jesus said, you must be born again. Nicodemus aske how and Jesus said that which is born of the flesh is flesh (physical birth) and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. He said unless one is born of the water and the Spirt he canot enter the kingdom of God. Whether we are Jew or gentile we are born into a world of sin (breaking the law of God which is the "Ten Commandments". We need to cofess that we have sinned and broke God's commandments, that's why we need a saviour because the punishment for sin (breaking the law) is death (seperation from God eternally.) Now God the Father sent his Son Jesus Christ to die that we may have life eternal in Him. When we are baptized we are dying to our old self and also confessing Jesus before men. Look at all the examples in Acts starting with Pentecost. Notice the three thousand that believed were baptized that day and added to the number. continue to read through the book of Acts and you will realize everyone who believed was baptized immediately and so should we be. |
||||||
57 | When does newness of life start? | Rom 6:4 | rferg | 56307 | ||
All I know is what I read in my bible. Nicodemus knew who Jesus was and Jesus told him he must be born again (baptized) to enter the kingdom of God. When John the Baptist came preaching repent of your sins and be baptized and those who believe in the gospel of Christ did so. In John 3:14 gives the example And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up. 15 that whoever believes (start in Matthew and read what every person who believed did, they were baptized immediately) may in him have eternal life. Read Numbers 21:6 it explains what JOhn 3:14 means. Notice that IF they believed they would look up to the bronze serpent (reprented the righteousness of Christ on a cross)and IF they didn't believe and look up they died. Look in the book of Acts 2:38 And Peter said to them, "Repent, and let each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins and you shall receive the gift of the HOly Spriit. 41 So then, those who had received his word were baptized; and there were added that day about three thousand souls. Continue to read one example after another in the book of Acts. The word "believe" is an action word. And if you look closely you will see the verse John 3:16 is quoted out of context. This is not just saying I believe Jesus is the Son of God, or I except Jesus as my Lord and Savior, the example is very clear. If you believe you will repent of your sins (breaking the Ten Commandments of God) and be baptized into the kingdom of God. You will be born of the Spirit. | ||||||
58 | Isn't this verse saying that we rise to | Rom 6:4 | rferg | 56310 | ||
Baptism doesn't save us, faith in our saviour Jesus Christ does. We need to believe we are sinners because we have broken his commandments and the pentalty is death. The important thing is what must we do to enter the kingdom of God and that my friend is you must be born again, baptized. Read John 3 in it's entirety and you will see that if you believe you will be baptized. | ||||||
59 | Isn't this verse saying that we rise to | Rom 6:4 | rferg | 56314 | ||
Baptism is a requirement for entering the kingdom of God John 3:2-7 that's a fact. If you read everything the bible has to say about baptism from the beginning of Matthew the subject will become more clear. For years we have listen to pastors tell us what subjects actually mean by pulling a scripture here and there to prove their point John 3:16 is a perfect example read it from John 3:1 through 3:16 and you will clearly see what the word "believe" means. If you read scripture in full passages the subject will become clear. The word "believe" is an action word. Abraham believed God and it was credited to him as rightousness. Abraham believed God and was willing to sacrifice his only son Isac. He took his family and moved. Noah believed and built an ark. Can you imagine how crazy everyone thought he was? All who heard John the baptist preaching repented and were baptized. They believed the gospel of Christ and that's what saved them and because they believe they proved it by doing something. Read John 14,15 and Number 21:6 explains it. It said If they belived. You used a lot of scripture that says, "if you believe", Mark 16:16 He who had believed and has been baptized shall be saved. I urge you to go back and read Matthew,Mark,Luke and JOhn and Act to see if Romans makes more sence. No where in scriture do I see someone preaching a sermon that doesn't pretain to repenance and then ask if you want to make Jesus you savior, amen and you are saved. |

60 | When does newness of life start? | Rom 6:4 | rferg | 56315 | ||
It is not baptism that saves us it's our faith in God's grace that he sent his Son Jesus to save us from the pentalty of death. Mark 16:16 HE WHO HAS BELIEVED AND HS BEEN BAPTIZED SHALL BE SAVED. | ||||||
