601 | Gracious Humility? | Phil 2:3 | humbledbyhisgrace | 182606 | ||
Greetings Brother! Another passage to consider. Philippians 2:3-8 (NASB95) 3 Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves; 4 do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others. 5 Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, 6 who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, 7 but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men. 8 Being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.

602 | People in Prosperity/vs in Poverty | John 9:3 | humbledbyhisgrace | 182603 | ||
Greetings bluestar! Jesus disciples ask a question similar to yours. Consider their question and Jesus answer. John 9:1-3 (NASB95) 1 As He passed by, He saw a man blind from birth. 2 And His disciples asked Him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he would be born blind?" 3 Jesus answered, "It was neither that this man sinned, nor his parents; but it was so that the works of God might be displayed in him. The reason I offered this scriptures is to point out we need to try to understand these things spiritually and not of the flesh. Trying to reason these things based on our own understanding will, in my opinion never lead us to the truth. I might add that someone being born in a prosperous country is not a guarantee they do not suffer. I do agree that many more do suffer in some parts of the world then others in regards to many things. The fact is, our disobedience to God has caused all of us to suffer. Consider again the scripture passage John 9:1-3 and add to it verse 4. John 9:4 John 9:4 (NASB95) We must work the works of Him who sent Me as long as it is day; night is coming when no one can work. We know our fellow man suffers. Are we doing our part as a child of God? Ephesians 2:10 (NASB95) For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them. There is much we can do to glorify our Father! God bless, Steve |

603 | How does grace teach us? | Titus 2:12 | humbledbyhisgrace | 182173 | ||
Greetings Brother! Hebrews 12:7-11 is one passage we can look at for consideration. Verse 10 Hebrews 12:10 (NASB95) For they disciplined us for a short time as seemed best to them, but He disciplines us for our good, so that we may share His holiness. In regards to your question verse 10 stands out to me as it compares our earthly fathers discipline as something that seemed best to them. In comparison to God's discipline which is for our own good so we may share His holiness. It is truly a gracious God willing to share His holiness with us wouldn't you agree? And He is willing to discipline us to ensure we share in His holiness! Below information was copied from the blueletterbible.com web site Outline of Biblical Usage 1) grace a) that which affords joy, pleasure, delight, sweetness, charm, loveliness: grace of speech 2) good will, loving-kindness, favour a) of the merciful kindness by which God, exerting his holy influence upon souls, turns them to Christ, keeps, strengthens, increases them in Christian faith, knowledge, affection, and kindles them to the exercise of the Christian virtues 3) what is due to grace a) the spiritual condition of one governed by the power of divine grace b) the token or proof of grace, benefit 1) a gift of grace 2) benefit, bounty 4) thanks, (for benefits, services, favours), recompense, reward Interesting question Brother! Our Father truly loves us Amen! By Faith, Steve |

606 | If we have any knowledge | 1 Cor 12:7 | humbledbyhisgrace | 181937 | ||
Greetings Azure! Thank you for the kind words and blessings and I too wish you a blessed year. In regards to the quote by Matthew Henry it was a good reminder to me as well and my hope was it would be a good reminder to others. We need to be ever mindful that any gift we have was given to us by God and it is for His glory. In light of Brother Hank's post 181928 where he shared from his prayer journal I'll share this short but in my case many times necessary prayer as it fits well with the quote from Matthew Henry. Father, forgive me for what I make of it some times! Azure I have read your post as you have engaged in this forum and one thing that stands out to me is you are very gracious and kind to all. Another great reminder to everyone I might add! God bless you Sister, Steve |

607 | If we have any knowledge | 1 Cor 12:7 | humbledbyhisgrace | 181919 | ||
"If we have any knowledge of the truth, or any power to make it known, we must give all the glory of God. The greater the gifts are, the more the possessor is exposed to temptations, and the larger is the measure of grace needed to keep him humble and spiritual; and he will meet with more painful experiences and humbling dispensations. We have little cause to glory in any gifts bestowed on us, or to despise those who have them not".—Matthew Henry | ||||||
608 | The Name /One Lord | Matt 28:19 | humbledbyhisgrace | 181909 | ||
Okay shing, it's obvious you don't understand the scriptures very well and are unable to teach. Perhaps it would be good for you to find someone you trust to help you understand the scriptures. Perhaps a young lady like you should find an older godly woman in your local church to help you with this. Your conduct and the way you play with God's word doesn't speak well of you. James 3:1 (ESV) Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers, for you know that we who teach will be judged with greater strictness. God bless you shing, Steve |

609 | The Name /One Lord | Matt 28:19 | humbledbyhisgrace | 181906 | ||
shing, thanks for trying but sorry I'm still unsure what you mean by your statement "I can better understand the term three operations of one God". When you made that statement and pointed to verse 6 for reference it confused me. Perhaps you could just explain what the three operations are you are talking about and how that ties in with 1 Corinthians 12:6 By the way, I am a brother in Christ. Are you a Brother or Sister in Christ? By Faith, Steve |

610 | The Name /One Lord | Matt 28:19 | humbledbyhisgrace | 181893 | ||
shing, Can you explain a little more what you mean by this? I understand what your saying about questioning the word person. What I'm looking for is clarification on is the rest of the post. You said "I can better understand the term three operations of one God. 1 Corinthians 12:6 And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all." Are you saying you better understand three operations of one God from this one verse? If so, please help me understand what you mean by that. I may be misunderstanding you but I'm having trouble understanding what you mean by three operations of one God from this verse. By Faith, Steve |

611 | Is Jesus Angry everyday? | John 3:16 | humbledbyhisgrace | 181888 | ||
shing, I think you mean Proverbs 22:24 (ESV) Make no friendship with a man given to anger, nor go with a wrathful man, I'm sure that was just a typo but I wanted to add the correct scripture reference for others that may read along :-) By the way, I'm not angry. I was only trying to discuss the word of God with you. It is good for brothers and sisters to discuss the word of God and help each other understand. For one, none of us know it all so to conduct oneself as if they do is helpful to no one. There are many who read along with each post so it is good to ensure we do the best we can to accurately teach and discuss the word. And when another brother or sister points us to scripture that clearly teaches something different then what we are teaching or believe to be true we must be willing to forego our pride and accept the truth taught in scripture. If you disagree with a teaching then your disagreement should be backed up with scripture in order to bring out the truth. Even then we (the brothers and sisters in Christ) still may find ourselves in disagreement. However, I believe that God will bless us through our honest attempt to understand His truth and will lead us into that truth as we all continue to seek it. As I said, I'm not angry so please don't confuse what I say as anger. I have tried to discuss the word of God with you, I have also read your post to others. You come across as if you are unwilling to be taught by scripture. I pray that is not true but so far it appears to be so. By Faith, Steve |

Shing, You have an interesting approach to discussing the word of God for a sinless person. You make the point I am trying to make to you. You make a false claim you cannot back with scripture. When confronted with scripture you fail to address it, i.e. you are not willing to be taught by scripture. You instead do as you accuse me of doing and that is, you reject the clear teaching of scripture. You are the one who chooses to pick and choose the scriptures. If not then why do you continue to avoid the scriptures presented in this discussion? I don’t wish to play games with God’s word. There are more then enough people out there twisting it and playing with it as if it’s a toy. I believe it to be the very word of God given to mankind. I am humbled by it, awed by it, amazed at it, ever trying to learn and understand it, but I refuse to play games with it as I believe we are to respect it and seek to learn and understand it and to help others to do so as well. I make no claims to be the authority over it, but I grow tired of so many so called “sinless”, “Christian” people and their games. This forum is intended for Bible Study. We as brothers and sisters in Christ may not agree on everything but the intent here is to study and discuss the word of God. It’s not a stage for false teachings. By Faith, Steve |

Greetings shing! You said "What I would do with 1 Cor is first of all know what Paul writing about and why. These are spirital babies, who have allowed sin in the church. Paul is trying to counsel and discipline God's children that haven't grown up yet." Would you agree that these "spiritual babies" are Christians, born again believers every bit as much a child of God as you or any other child of God is? You said "2Cor Pauling is defending himself and telling the church to grow up and act like mature children of God without sin like we are suppose to be." Again, are these not believers, born again children of God Paul is speaking to? shing, if these are born again children of God which the scriptures clearly say they are do you still maintain the believer does not sin?

614 | The Book of 1 John | John 3:16 | humbledbyhisgrace | 181748 | ||
Greetings shing! Pointing to 1 John 3 does not answer the question. This does not negate the scriptures I ask you to consider regarding a believer sinning. When reading 1 John 3 give consideration to these two words as you read it. “abides” and “practices”. I think if you do it should help you understand it better. As you have presented it you appear to be saying this teaches something different then what the verses I pointed out to you does. Consider the scriptures I have pointed out and add to that 1 John 2:1 1 John 2:1 (NASB) 2:1 My little children, I am writing these things to you that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous; Did you happen to read that one when you read the whole book? The scripture clearly reads “…And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father…” Like the other verses I referenced, it is clear from scripture the believer still sins. Again I ask you, what do you do with the scriptures I have pointed out? You point to 1 John 3 but that does not answer the question nor does it put away the clear teaching of the scriptures I referenced. If you think that it does please explain your teaching. Thanks and by the way, thank you again for your blessings. God bless you as well and may He bless us both as we discuss His word. By Faith, Steve |

Greetings once again shing! Thank you for your blessings and yes, I am too thankful for all the Lord God has done for us and continues to do for us. I have to say though, I fear your teaching for yourself and for others you may teach this to. Based on your statement "Those are the sinners my friend. Praise God I am not a sinner." what would you do with this passage of scripture? 1 John 1:8-10 (ESV) 1:8 If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1:10 If we say we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us. Who do you think 1 John was written to, believers or none believers ? (Believers!) Also, consider 1 Corinthians 3:1-3 (ESV) 3:1 But I, brothers, could not address you as spiritual people, but as people of the flesh, as infants in Christ. 3:2 I fed you with milk, not solid food, for you were not ready for it. And even now you are not yet ready, 3:3 for you are still of the flesh. For while there is jealousy and strife among you, are you not of the flesh and behaving only in a human way? The above passage is written to believers (See 1 Corinthians 1:2). 2 Corinthians 7:1 (ESV) Since we have these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from every defilement of body and spirit, bringing holiness to completion in the fear of God. Again, the above passage is speaking to believers, yet evidently believers still contending with sin. There are other scriptures as well which speak to believers yet believers with sin found in them. For your consideration! God bless, Steve |

Greetings shing! As a matter of fact, yes I do love to learn the word of God and I can understand your joy found in His word and in Him! Mind if I ask what you learned about God's anger from this verse? You said you were surprised so I'm curious if you understand that God's anger is a righteous anger not to be confused with the unrighteous variety we as sinners sometimes have. God bless and stay in the word with me and the other brothers and sisters in Christ. One day we will see the Lord God and stand before Him and worship Him together! Amen! Until then, we will read His word and learn all we can from His written word. By Faith, Steve |

Greetings WTB! Consider this. The gifts are not given by man and neither does man have the authority to determine who does and who doesn't receive them, when they receive them, or which ones they receive. Neither are the gifts conjured up as some hocus pocus magic show. Your only rebellious when you go against God. Stay strong in your faith in Him and His word! God bless! By Faith, Steve |

Greetings Metochoi! You responded to a post from October 2005 and that persons last post was the same month and year. It might be you will not get any response from them. There are many still here and let me say we are glad to have you participating in the Study Bible Forum! I'm sure all will agree as it is a joy to discuss the word of God with all! By the way, I agree with your point! It is interesting that some have a tendency to put restrictions on "Eternity" :-) God bless, Steve |
