61 | Born into the Kingdom of God? | Luke 16:18 | TheCurtMan | 92830 | ||
Sometimes these two words are interchangeable in scripture but, in your estimation, is there a difference between being 'saved' and being 'redeemed'? A second question I might ask is what relationship does being "born again" have to do with both/either these words? Can either stand independent of the experience of the INDWELLING? If not, why not? OK, I wanted to take a second look at what I believe, to ensure that I wasn’t too far off base scripturally. I know I’ll probably be crucified for what I believe, but then so was Jesus. In my estimation, being SAVED, and being REDEEMED is generally one in the same. I was purchased with the blood of the Lamb. The debt that I owe God wasn’t just cancelled, but PAID-N-FULL. I have escaped the eternal damnation that I truly deserve, For the wages of sin is death, and For ALL have sinned and come short of the glory of God. I deserve death, but it ain’t happening here. Now I believe that being BORN AGAIN entails the principles of Eph. 4:22-24. That ye put off, concerning the former conversation, the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lust 23 And be RENEWED IN THE SPIRIT OF YOUR MIND 24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. That is, being born again entails a totally different perspective FORM doing things the world’s way TO doing things God’s way. If you haven’t noticed, there is a VERY BIG DIFFERENCE. Can either stand independent of the experience of the indwelling. If I understand your question correctly, you’re asking if these things can happen without the Holy Ghost, not even close. It is the Holy Spirit that points me in the right direction, even before I know I want to go that way. It is through the Spirit that gives me the choice to either accept or reject Christ. Without the Spirit, I probably wouldn’t even care about doing things God’s way. Take a look at Eph. 4:23, what do that mean to you in reference to your question. So what do you think?? The CurtMan |

Good question. I don't think it'll be fair for me to answer this one of the top of my head. So give me a minute to get back with you, OK? | ||||||
63 | Born into the Kingdom of God? | Luke 16:18 | TheCurtMan | 92727 | ||
I believe that the salvation that was provided by Jesus is made available to EVERYONE. Past, Present, Future, Believer, Non-believer. I believe that salvation is conditional, it will be excepted by some and rejected by others. But salvation is made available to everyone. | ||||||
64 | Who created evil? | Gen 3:1 | TheCurtMan | 92726 | ||
Good Morning Sal, I just read the discussion you had with RM2 on God creating evil. Now I understand the purpose of the question regarding different translations. The question that I have is this: How do you interpret James 1:13-16?? |

Ken, Sorry about 'the old man being done away with' bit, a bad choice of words to get my point across. To be honest with you my brother, you're over my head like a 747 bound for the Promise Land. I'm still back a square one wondering if Jesus had a secondary primary reason for caming to earth other than to save people. I've listened to what you've said, and for the most part, everything you've elaborated on takes place as a result of salvation, it takes place after the person is saved. I've searched this thing out for years and am now able to see the conclusion to the matter. i.e., Once we are born again... The perfect example, the conclusion to the matter takes place after salvation. Thus far you're leaving me to draw the conclusion that there is secondary primary reason why Jesus came to earth other to save people, and this reason takes place after salvation. So inorder to find out what this reason is we must first become saved, which is why Jesus came here in the first place. Ken, I really need you to tell me I'm wrong on this thing. The CurtMan |

What a dilemma to be in. I could probably quote half a dozen scriptures that would indicate that going through Marry really isn't necessary. Indeed, to some it is just down right unbiblical. By any chance have you had the opportunity to take me at my suggestion and look at I Cor.7?? Verse 14 says, "For the unbelieving husband is sanctified through his wife..." and verse 16 says, "For how do you know, O wife, whether you will save your husband?" Now rather your husband is saved or not, is not the issue I wish to discuss. The point that I wish to make is this: Your presence as a believer in your household has a sanctifying influence. Your husband is in a position where he has a believing wife who loves him and will be praying for him. Your obedience TO God will stand as a testimony FOR God in your household. That obedience includes your marriage commitments to your husband. My wife's obedience to God in her submissive role to me has altered my course of action on a many occasions. It has even caused me to change my view of things. Mind if I make some suggestions?? 1. Check with that church that you're interested in and see if they have a women's ministry. Something like the Titus II Woman, or WMU,-Women Missionary Union. If they do, get your name on their prayer list. Get them women to start praying for you. Also check and see if they have a Marriage Builders Program of sorts. If so, get your name and your husband's name on their prayer list. 2. Start praying, among other things, for a prayer partner. Someone you can pray with; someone you can confide in. Preferably a christian woman who either is, or has been married. There may be times when you'll need a shoulder to lean on. It would be nice if that shoulder knew the Word of God. 3. Last but not least, I would suggest that you get yourself a good Study Bible. My personal favorite is the John MacArthur Study Bible, The New King James Version. That's good for the Interpretation of Scripture, but for the Application of Scripture I favor the New American Standard Life Application Study Bible. The CurtMan |

Note: "Ken, I've been thinking about this one all night long, I'm wondering if you wouldn't mind telling me the REAL ISSUE of why Jesus came to earth...other than just get people saved". I don't mean to be argumentative, or anything, but I was somewhat under the impression that there was another reason why Jesus came to earth other than to just get people saved. In light of everything that you just said, isn't all that a result of salvation? I mean upon making my profession, doesn't at some point the Holy Spirit move into my life and as a result, Eph. 4:22-24 comes into play. The Old man is done away with and I am now concerned with the New Man, the things of God? I'm thinking that all this is a RESULT of Salvation. Is there a Real Issue of why Jesus came to earth, other then to save people, or did I miss your point somewhere?? Also, what if I have a little trouble putting away the old man in his entirety, what if there were a few habits that were harder to get rid of than others, and I was still struggling with them. Does that mean that I'm not Born Again.?? Does it mean that I'm, how you say, Juggling myself?? Didn't God promise to finish the good work that He started in me?? And one other thing, could you elaborate on what you ment when you said Jesus, the man, had to prove himself?? |

I’m no expert on the matter, but I believe what separate different denominations is their belief system. For example, you have one denomination that believes that the King isn’t just the King, but He’s the King of Kings. Another denomination believes that with a little good works, we ourselves can become Kings, and yet another denomination believes that the King isn’t who He say He is, He’s nothing more than a Prince. The reason that I said that I didn’t believe that this verse could be used to support different denominations is because Peter; Paul and Apollos were of the same belief; they were building on the same foundation. The only difference was what the church itself applied. If your spouse wants to quote a verse, then depending on the church you’re interested in, your spouse may need to find another verse, because your beliefs may differ. If your church doesn’t believe in going through Mary to get to Jesus, then your spouse needs another verse. I strongly suggest that you take the advice of Graceful and not let the adversary use this opportunity to further separate you and your spouse. I would also suggest a study on I Cor. 7. Not just a reading of it, but a study. Continue to be obedient to you marital commitments. Pray, and let God handle the situation. He will if you allow Him the time. I personally believe that He’s already working on it. Patience, time; and this too shall pass. The CurtMan |

I appreciate that, Curtman and consider it an opportunity to enlarge our discussion to get at the real issues of why Jesus Christ came to earth...other than 'just get people saved' Ken, I've been thinking about this one all night long, I'm wondering if you wouldn't mind telling me the REAL ISSUE of why Jesus came to earth...other than just get people saved.

Fran1946, Will you please elaborate for me what you mean when you say that one is born into the Kindom of God. Shall I take this statement at face value, that a person can literally be born into Heaven, or were you implying something else. The CurtMan |

Oh, sorry I've gotten into the ice-cream without knowing what flavor it is. In other words, I'm sorry I've intervened in someone else's conversation. I've made the same mistake you did on a couple of occasions. Did you ever get around to asking Fran1946 to elaborate on being born into the Kingdom of God?? | ||||||
75 | Born into the Kingdom of God? | Luke 16:18 | TheCurtMan | 92332 | ||
Correct me if I'm wrong on this thing, but I thought that your original question, "Where does it say that we are born into the kingdom of God" was based on your perspective that "Heaven is a prepared place for a prepared people". Now, to my knowledge, I'm not aware of anyplace in the bible that says, one must be born into the Kingdom of God. However; you change your wording, and the implications are clear. Which is something we both can agree on, it can be found in the 3rd chp. of John. I'm not debating your perspective on this issue, I'm just clarifying why I answered the question the way that I did. Sometimes we know what we mean, we know what we want to say, we just choose the wrong set of words to get our point across. Saying exactly what you mean is highly important to some people, I'm not one of them. All I need is an idea of what you mean, and from there we can work out exactly what you mean. See what I mean?

76 | Children in Hell | Luke 16:22 | TheCurtMan | 92280 | ||
God's patience had finally ran its course. God showed that wicked nation grace for a number of centuries. Look at Genesis 15:12-16. God was promising the land of Canaan to Abram. He told him that the land would be his in about four hundred years. Why the wait? Partly because the iniquities of the inhabitants were not yet complete. When the timing was right, God sent in the Israelites to take over. There was a lot of bloodshed, yes. But if you would like to know why God wanted the Canaanites removed from the land, it was partly because God knew the Canaanites would have an effect on the Israelites and cause them to follow the same wicked ways they were being kicked outta the land for. For an example of this look at II Kings 17:5-23. Did they all go to hell including the babies? Rather the correct term is Hell; Hades; or the Grave, I have to say that personally I believe that they all did, even the babies. Four Hundred years is a long time for a nation to turn itself around and follow the laws of God. These people didn't care about God or his laws. The babies would have grown up in the same environment probably following the same sins that their fathers, and forefathers followed. God is the only one who really knows the could've and should've in an infants life. What is certain is that He annalated woman and children. Their eternal resting place I can only speculate on. And I have reason to believe that everybody went to hell. The CurtMan |

Well Sal, I would suggest a job and a change of scenery, but you might take me seriously. A website is a wonderful study tool, but in my opinion a personalize bible is better. You do not need to depend on batteries or electricity, and there is never room for an upgraded solfware. Give it some thought. The offer will stands. The CurtMan |
