501 | Do we get saved by Baptism? | 1 Pet 3:21 | humbledbyhisgrace | 203827 | ||
Let's go back to your original statement. You said "Now the question is and I will say this off the get go that if we take any one of these things do you still have salvation?" You were speaking of these three things, baptism, faith and repentance. It appears you are saying that if we take any of the three away we no longer have salvation. Is that what you were saying? To me it appeared that is what you were insinuating. Then you pointed out that the church had not yet been established and since then that salvation comes by a different method then it did before the church. At least that's what I'm getting out of your post. If in fact this is what you are saying, please explain. If not, then forgive me for misrepresenting your comments. Steve |

502 | Sin unto death | 1 John | humbledbyhisgrace | 202285 | ||
BB, The text does not allow for the interpretation you are teaching. 1 John 5:16 (NASB) If anyone sees his brother committing a sin not leading to death, he shall ask and God will for him give life to those who commit sin not leading to death. There is a sin leading to death; I do not say that he should make request for this. The text clearly speaks of a brother (i.e. a believer) committing a sin not leading to death. For a none believer, all their sins lead to death not just a specific sin or a specific type of sin. John 3:18 (NASB) "He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. I hope this is helpful! Steve |

503 | Sin unto death | 1 John | humbledbyhisgrace | 202297 | ||
Cheri, That is not what I was saying. What I attempted to point out was the fallacy in the teaching that this passage of scripture was teaching this was talking about non believers. BB stated “the only ones who can commit a "sin unto death" would be a non-believer.” This does not line up with what the verse says. See again 1 John 5:16. John is speaking specifically of a brother (i.e. believer). Steve |

504 | Are we judged when we come to Jesus now? | 1 John 1:9 | humbledbyhisgrace | 202074 | ||
Greetings LJ, Based on your question I just wanted to add this to what has already been shared with you. Take a look at 2 Peter 1:1-11. I would encourage you to pray and ask God to help you understand each of these things and to help you grow in them. Be encouraged when you do because when Christ says ask in His Name (John 14:13-14, John 15:16, John 16:23-24) we know and understand it is to ask for what is God's will not our own. This passage I have pointed out as well as the other passages of scripture that others have pointed you to is His will for His disciples. Ask Him to give you wisdom (James 1:5) and to help you grow in them. Spend lot's of time in His word and prayer and practicing these things you learn and you will be amazed at the fellowship you have with your God! As you seek to do His will, it is Him that will work in you to bring it about! When you ask, keep this in mind James 1:6-8. May God bless you, Steve |

505 | Who does the Bible refer to being wicked | 1 John 3:8 | humbledbyhisgrace | 185298 | ||
I would think if you understood that which you are so intent on pushing you would be a bit more humbled by it. Please consider the good of the forum and keep in mind the TOU of this forum. No need to intentionally be divisive. Steve |

506 | Biblical Love is not Worldly Love | 1 John 4:21 | humbledbyhisgrace | 160579 | ||
Exactly what discussions would that be Doc? It would be interesting to compare this post to those you are referring to. I find it somewhat revealing and would like to compare it to the discussions you are referencing and see just how much more might be revealed. Thanks! Steve |

507 | Biblical Love is not Worldly Love | 1 John 4:21 | humbledbyhisgrace | 160582 | ||
Wow Doc! There appears to be hundreds. Surly you can simplify this for everyone. After all, you said your post was apropos to discussion of respect, courtesy, and love on the forum lately. The simple "Search" takes me all the way back to 2001. |

508 | Biblical Love is not Worldly Love | 1 John 4:21 | humbledbyhisgrace | 160604 | ||
Oh, advanced search! Thanks Doc that does narrow it down a bit! How silly of me. I went with the simple search. You wrote: “If we have trouble with the word love, think what difficulties we have in a proper understanding of God, and all the doctrines that necessarily flow from that understanding. Think what difficulties we have with many other definitions.” I couldn’t agree more with your statement Doc! Your post are always revealing! Steve |

509 | Anything asked will be given | 1 John 5:14 | humbledbyhisgrace | 202348 | ||
Ian, You said "My initial verse states unambiguously "anything you ask". and "Colin Uquart does say that unanswered prayer is a lack of faith." You go on to say "I struggle to find our interpretation in scripture as many requests are made by people who know God's will, know the Bible and are people of faith." Are you and Colin Urquhart doing like so many do with the scriptures? That is, fail to consider the whole counsel of God's word? This question is not meant to offend but rather stir you to think and dig back into His word! Consider the verse you are referring to (Matthew 18:19). Given the very next verse (v20) how is it we should then understand "anything you ask"? We can gather all we want but the key is, "...gathered in my name..." (v20). The requirement is consistent throughout scripture! It must be the will of God not our own desires! Steve |

510 | Who is the Bride of Christ? | Revelation | humbledbyhisgrace | 206352 | ||
GBzones, I too would like a bit of clarification. What do you mean by this statement you made? "The Bride of Christ will be a select body taken from the midst of the general body." Steve |

511 | REV 11 The Temple stands yet destroyed | Rev 1:11 | humbledbyhisgrace | 204581 | ||
RC, I'm not much for debating this subject because the truth is I have not studied it that much. Reading along with this thread I have a question that comes to mind reading your post however so to help me understand your point of view could you please explain? Am I correct your response is in regards to what John pointed out in Revelation 1:11 when you said "Well as long as you know that all 7 Churches didnt exsist in 90 AD then thats just fine, in 63 AD three of them were destroyed by yes an earth quake. And believe it or not Laodocia wasnt rebuilt till 121 AD..."? The reason I ask is I want to make sure this is what you are addressing. If so then I need to ask you to explain if you would your understanding of what the physical churches that were destroyed have to do with Revelation 1:11? It appears to me your view is founded on 3 churches being destroyed by an earth quake. I fail to see what the physical church has to do with it. You don't mean the people of the church were destroyed in the earth quake do you? Am I understanding you correctly? If so, could it be your understanding is based on assumption the church was no more because the physical structure was destroyed in the earth quake and the fact is the writing was not intended for the physical structure but for the church (i.e. the people)? Steve H. |

512 | REV 11 The Temple stands yet destroyed | Rev 1:11 | humbledbyhisgrace | 204615 | ||
Thanks for your response. As I said, I have not studied this subject all that much so I was looking for clarification of your statements. I didn't want to assume and/or put words in your mouth. From your response you are basing your arguments on 3 of the physical churches being destroyed by the earth quake. Does that not raise questions in your own mind about your position? At least on the parts you rest on your interpretation of Revelation 1:11? Let's say you were going to send a letter to my local church and it was destroyed by an earth quake. Does that mean no one is here to receive the letter? Of course not, unless of course everyone who was a member of the local church was destroyed with the building. Steve |

513 | REV 11 The Temple stands yet destroyed | Rev 1:11 | humbledbyhisgrace | 204630 | ||
Oh but RC, it was a simple question in which you answered. Think of me simple if you will, I only wished to give you opportunity to clarify in hopes I was misunderstanding you and if not, that you would even see the fallacy in your reasoning. See, not only did the three churches crumble in the earth quake, but so to does your teaching on the matter! Or let me say, on this point and anything you rest on this! Steve |

514 | REV 11 The Temple stands yet destroyed | Rev 1:11 | humbledbyhisgrace | 204636 | ||
RC, The price is too high to discuss the scripture with you. I don't wish to take part in such rage and anger. I lived in that enough before I was saved! Sorry if I upset you! I don't wish to be a part of something that causes a brother to stumble. Steve |

515 | As saints can we be exempt? | Rev 13:7 | humbledbyhisgrace | 189138 | ||
I join with my Brother Brad, move on! Once you have matured to the point you can teach and not cause divisiveness and are able to articulate your questions and responses with coherent arguments then perhaps you will prove more effective as a teacher. As is, you confuse and create debate and divisiveness on the forum. It is not that I agree or disagree with your interpretation of scripture, but it appears the sword is a bit heavy for your hand. Your approach here is growing old and enough is enough! Steve |
