61 | handling relationships as a Christian | Matthew | TheCurtMan | 86234 | ||
Hey Gab, There is this story in the bible about a women that lost her son to injustice. She went to the King because she wanted justice. She wanted him deal with the matter. The King kinda paid her no mind at first, so she kept going back, again; and again; and again. Finally the King gave this women what she wanted just so she would leave him alone in the matter. You ever tried that with God?? Keep your partner lifted up in prayer. CONSISTENTLY. The Lord wills that none should perish, so keep praying for her salvation, or her return to the Lord, and you might be surprise at the results, God has the tendicy of going over and above our expectations on occasions. |

Brother BradK Thanks for the correction. I was aware of the term that was being referred to, but since neither is in the bible, I decided to go with the term that was already in play. You are absolutely right about knowing the difference between good bibically based theology and a perversion of the truth. You have any suggestions on how two brothers who believe in the same thing can get that point across?? |

64 | What is Love?? | Matt 22:37 | TheCurtMan | 115914 | ||
Actually I have. My problem is I'm having a difficult time explaining to a seven year old. Thought maybe there were some parents out there who have already been down this road and could enlighten me in areas I've not considered. | ||||||
65 | What is Love?? | Matt 22:37 | TheCurtMan | 115918 | ||
Thanks. I was referring to God's love. This seven year old kid with the mentality of a maybe a six year old asked me what love was. No time to read I Cor. 13. I said that love was the ability to do right by a person inspite of your emotions. He didn't get it. I said be kind to people no matter how mad they make you. That one he got, but it didn't sit well with me. What I tell this kid might affect him for the rest of his life. I have a definate window of maybe three minutes with this kid tonight, after that I can not say. I just thought that I could get a simple definition off the forum by some mature parents. |

66 | What is Love?? | Matt 22:37 | TheCurtMan | 115925 | ||
Thanks, I'll give this a try. Does this really explain what love is, or are you aware of my dilemma?? I need to explain this to a seven year old. | ||||||
67 | What is Love?? | Matt 22:37 | TheCurtMan | 115982 | ||
I appreciate all the responces I've received, THANKS!! Funny how things worked out. I saw the little boy yesterday just prior to him being escorted home by his grand parents. They only had him on a shot term basis. I asked him if he remembered me. He shook his head yes. I asked him if he remembered the question he asked me yesterday. He shook his head no. I said you asked me what was love. He said, be nice to people when they make you mad. "Close enough", I said. For a hot second I knew what it felt like to be a proud parent. "That's how you show love. If you want to know what love is, find out who God is because God is love". That one I got from the forum. Because of the expression on his face, I thought I lost him altogether. Then he said, "God is love, who is God?" Ever been put on a spot by a kid?? I said that Jesus came out of Heaven to be punished for him because Jesus loved him and Jesus wanted to always be with him forever and ever. Then he said, "So Jesus is love", "Yes exactly right" Then he said, "Did they make Jesus mad?" I kinda thought of the temple incident and was saved by his grand mother who showed to pick him up. He told his grandmother that Jesus was love. They say that kid was slow, but I saw no traces of it. Thanks again for everyone's help The CurtMan |

You get no arguments from me. I totally agree with you. This is one of the reasons why, if permitted, in the hereafter, I'm looking for Adam. My wife will be looking for Eve.smile | ||||||

70 | The Center of Truth | Mark 10:27 | TheCurtMan | 116216 | ||
No Hank, I'm not suggesting any hidden meanings. I found it interesting the way the numbers looked and added up. I also found it interesting because one of my favorite verses is Prov. 3:5-7. Casual Interest is a good way of putting it, basically, that's all there is. However; the verse in Psalms will go hand in hand with the one from Prov. It's the verse I normally use when I encounter someone who is seeking God's will in their life. |

72 | 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?

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?? | ||||||

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 |

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. The CurtMan |

77 | Born into the Kingdom of God? | Luke 16:18 | TheCurtMan | 92466 | ||
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?? |

79 | Born into the Kingdom of God? | Luke 16:18 | TheCurtMan | 92536 | ||
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 |

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. | ||||||
