4964 | Worldly Extremes | 1 John 2:11 | EdB | 243677 | ||
Interesting use of labels. A lot of explanation but based on opinion and assumptions. I wonder how Jesus would explain it, I doubt Jesus would have used even one label. |

4965 | Worldly Extremes | 1 John 2:11 | EdB | 243685 | ||
My dislike is not of nouns or language in general I object to labels that demean, denigrate and mock others because they do not agree with our theology. Labels are rarely used to encourage or edify. When we wield scripture or our words at a lashing sword to slice the feet out from our brethren, then we are not doing to others as we would have them do unto us. Yes Jesus did label the difference was Jesus is the truth not an opposing opinion held by mere man. Further Jesus never called us to judge or label he called us to love even our enemies. Romans 14:4 (NASB) 4 Who are you to judge the servant of another? To his own master he stands or falls; and he will stand, for the Lord is able to make him stand. |

Doc You said and I quote So, your Spirit Filled love of us will certainly forgive us for trying to use language as precisely as our God and our Lord Jesus and the Apostles have done. We do not find any others providing a better pattern. There is no need to forgive you for using language precisely, where we must forgive is when you try to use that language as a facade to belittle or mock any theology in opposition to yours. You are a crafty wordsmith and you have the ability to shut most people up before they even have a chance to discuss something that you deem is beneath you. Some have complained but most simply leave the forum shaking their heads saying what is the point. This is what I object to. To me even Reformed theology has some virtue but not in your hands and the way you use it. That is what I object to and what I must keep trying to forgive. |

4968 | SEARCHING FOR THE TRUTH | 1 John 2:16 | EdB | 242794 | ||
We do not overcome Satan. Jesus gave us the victory on the cross. Our choice is to follow Jesus. | ||||||
4969 | SEARCHING FOR THE TRUTH | 1 John 2:16 | EdB | 242796 | ||
Satan was defeated at the cross. If we are I. Christ we are God's children and God loves us. God does not test us. James 1:13 Let no one say when he is tempted, "I am tempted by God"; for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone. Our flesh is our problem. Pal told us he battled the flesh. |

4970 | When will the Antichrist come ? | 1 John 2:18 | EdB | 241698 | ||
Why do you characterize John MacArthur as a antiChrist? | ||||||
4971 | When will the Antichrist come ? | 1 John 2:18 | EdB | 241709 | ||
That is an interesting conclusion. One I don't agree with since he clearly preaches Christ crucified and resurrected for our sins. Today we have people that move in the office of the apostle but they are not apostles. Likewise we have people that move in the office of the prophet but they are not prophets. I see most missionaries as moving in the office of apostle and likewise I see many ministers moving in the office of prophet as they fill their pastorial functions. I think MacArthur holds a similar view. |

4972 | When will the Antichrist come ? | 1 John 2:18 | EdB | 241717 | ||
So in effect you are saying all cessationist are anti christ. Interesting. In effect you are saying anyone that does not agree with your theology is a antichrist. You do not seem to consider any interpretation of scripture other than your own. That can be a very dangerous position to be in. Many Many Many past and present people take a similar position and would label you an antichrist according to their interpretation of scripture. I disagree with cessationist but I believe they still have a real love for God and Christ. Therefore I find your position shocking. |

4973 | Who makes the rules? | 1 John 3:9 | EdB | 94678 | ||
Baptistbred In response to your four questions who says it is our responsibility to make those calls? The word says man looks at the outward appearance but God sees inside. God is the one that makes those decisions not us. If we see someone doing something wrong we are to rebuke and encourage him back on track, it is his decision to follow or continue in sin. There is no way for any us as mortal beings to be able to declare how God views a person. We may have a clue from what they say or do but none of us really know the state of their heart. Who makes the rules? Why God of course! Who enforces the rules? Again God. Who is the final Judge? Once again God? EdB |

4974 | One born of God cannot sin? | 1 John 3:9 | EdB | 144926 | ||
CDBJ I can go with the chromosomes theory. However I think the fact that it is mentioned in scripture that as a baby in womb John the Baptist reacted to Mary's voice casts severe doubt on Dr Thieme's theory of when a fetus becomes a baby. I can see no reason to mention the Baby's reaction in the womb unless God wanted to make a point. I believe that point was and is that the "Baby" in the womb is spiritually aware. How does Dr. Thieme Jr. feel about abortion? Since the fetus is just a souless mass of cells does he feel it is okay to kill the fetus? Boy can I see this playing into abortionist hands. I think that is very scarey doctrine. As you said we can take it or leave it. In this case I will LEAVE it. :-0 EdB |

CDBJ To leave a gun alone if you know nothing about it effects no one and may well as you said prevent an accident. However leaving this alone may cost infants their lives. Therefore I was very wrong in saying I will leave it. Promoting the idea that a baby is nothing more than a fetus (mass of living cells) until it breaths it's first breath is very dangerous and plays right into the abortionists hands. The justification for partial birth abortion is based on that argument. I personally can not believe a man of God would state such a thing. He had to know how his words would be interpreted and could see how the abortionists would use them. He may be a great theologian, he may a great preacher, he may have a heart of compassion and ability to teach, preach and pastor people but the man’s statements support ideas that are contrary to scripture and actually reinforces the lies and deception of the adversary. Rereading the story of John's reaction while yet in his mother’s womb and knowing that all scripture is inspired. I can see no reason for a third party (Luke) to report on John's reaction to Mary's voice unless God inspired the writer to do so. That then begs the question why? What was God showing us? Was he showing us babies move in the womb? Probably not since this was written about 4000 years after the first baby was conceived, I think in that length of time people especially mothers figured out babies moved. What other motive could God have to including this bit of information? Is it possible an all knowing all seeing God knew people especially abortionists would one day make claims similar to what Dr. Thiemes has made, that babies in wombs weren't babies at all but soulless masses of cells until they first breathed on their own? And God in his wisdom included this bit of information about John responding to Mary’s voice, as proof babies in the womb are spiritually aware, are creations of God and are living babies to be held as precious as a newborn babies are? To me Luke 1:41 is demonstrating John’s spiritual awareness and from everything I can find in the oldest commentaries available to me this the same conclusion reached by our Church Fathers down through the ages. Perhaps our Dr. Thiemes should stick to chromosomes and leave the timing of when a baby becomes a baby alone. I pray that no one would be deceived by this nonesense and that no one would use Thiemes statements to justify an abortion. EdB |

Hank I will never forget sitting in a meeting of clergy sponsored by the Crisis Pregnancy Center and hearing for the first time a 'minister' of God say he didn't have a problem with abortion. I was shocked speechless. Happily there were true men of God present in short order this man properly chastised. I don’t think his opinion was changed but I know he learned to keep his trash in the trash. I think there are still pastors calling this man’s name in hopes he will get saved. I just could not believe any serious student of scripture could say such a thing. My eyes were opened then and since I have heard far crazier things coming from the pulpits of American. To me is all comes down to idols. Scripture tells us we are formed in God’s image. If we can reform our image of man we also reform our image of God, thus creating a God of the created rather than a God of Creation. It is no longer a problem, since God created us in this image it must be okay. God no longer is the God of light and life but becomes the God of darkness and of death. However to be politically correct we don’t call it darkness or death we call it enlightenment and life that leads to doing whatever feels right. Come quickly Lord Jesus! EdB |

4979 | How do we know that we are truly saved? | 1 John 3:24 | EdB | 141751 | ||
WARM FUZZIES Sounds a lot like the "burning in the bosom" Mormon experience? That's how Mormon's know they have the truth they get a "Burning in the Bosom". I wonder how we should differentiate between warm fuzzies and burning in our bosom? You know knowing that difference could be critical since we know Mormonism is a lie. Perhaps we need to base our belief on something other than warm fuzzies perhaps "chill bumps". If we base our assurance of salvation on any emotional feedback we are sure to be deceived. It must be based on one thing and one thing only the truth in the Living Word of God. EdB |

I'm certainly not a fan of Benny Hinn but I do keep up with his antics. To the very best of my knowledge it isn't true about him using his wife. If you have proof of it, I would love to see it. EdB |
