62 | Jesus' death embody His ministry message | NT general | azurelaw | 234386 | ||
Dear Preston, There always students come to the forum inquiring for answer for their homework questions instead of first working it out by themselves. Such conduct is not encouraged. If you have not noticed, please familiarize yourself with the TOU which also indicates the host's rule in concern with this kind of behaviour as below:- --- The Forum is not intended to provide or be a source for answering test or homework questions of those that are students. Questions asked should be from a true desire to learn and not as an easy substitute for the learning process. By the way, as I have read Doc's post in respond to Noah80's question, I see nothing in his wordings or tone that is hostile to the poster. I really cannot understand why you have such an accusation on Doc. While you mention "Some....have a very difficult time...", may I know who else do you mean? Shalom Azure |

THIS POST IS INTENDED FOR OTHER FORUM READERS. As a long-time forum user, I regret to read of your (user: Infinity700) unfair accusation against the forum and your accusation is not factual as well. I really don't understand how you would come to such an unkind conclusion on our gracious host - Lockman Foundation, who freely provides us the platform for our Bible study. I have read your past posts and others that have responded to you and found nothing that you have been treated unkindly. As a responsible poster, your accusation made publicly should be solid grounded with evidence. The host of the forum, since they own it, has the right to construct the Terms of Use for users to comply. If you do not agree to any of it, you should not register your account. I really doubt your sincerity and integrity since you have signed and accepted the forum terms upon your registration and now you accuse the forum of its long exist TOU being too restrictive. Shalom Azure |

Dear EdB, First let me explain that I do not endorse drunkenness nor nakedness. They are, as Bible says, foolish and wrong indeed. But here, in this narrative of the Noah's time - ancient history where there was no 10 commandments or the Torah, was drunkenness and nakedness regarded wrong AT THAT TIME? Or are we using our standard to access what actually not there? Note that God has explicitly given certain commands (Gen 9:6), but nothing about drunkenness or nakedness. I always find this narrative interesting. As modern people, we do know drunkenness is foolish and nakedness is wrong. But when I put myself in the time of Noah and considering the Bible is silent on this by then, I believe the focus is more on Ham's wicked behaviour toward his father's nakedness. Shalom Azure |

Dear Preston, May I offer my input here for your thought. Sometimes it would not be appropriate to simply provide a "yes or no" or "agree or disagree" answer as it is in the case of your question. Because sometimes, people's answer might not be COMPLETELY wrong, yet not answer to the point. If we only seek agreement from others on the forum, it could end up with emotional attitude or "hot" debate (I am glad to see a friendly and willing to discuss attitude in your posts, and I hope we won't head the wrong way despite we are being challenged or disagreed with). That is why the host provides us a guideline of posting that - Postings must be Biblically based. - Postings must not oppose the Bible's sole authority (sola Scriptura). While reading your communication with Doc, I find that your assertion contains no scriptural support. Thus it is hard for us to agree on that. But can I say yours completely wrong, no. However, I believe your assertion "G-d created Satan to give you and I a choice between.... good and evil...simple as that." is only part of those countless means/situations that God decrees for His Glory. So, therefore, as Doc has rightly put and it is in accord with the Orthodox doctrines, God creates everything for His Glory. Sorry that I don't cite scripture in this post because I am in echo with Doc's scriptural citation. Shalom Azure P.S. While responding to your post, I can't help to recall the scenario of working on multiple choices question in examination. There are tricky questions demanding for the "most suitable" answer from those options that seemingly correct :-) |

72 | A contrite heart in salvation | Ps 51:17 | azurelaw | 233058 | ||
"Conversion is not the smooth, easy-going process some men seem to think....It is wounding work,of course, this breaking of the hearts, but without wounding there is no saving.... Where there is grafting there is a cutting, the scion must be let in with a wound; to stick it on to the outside or to tie it on with a string would be of no use. Heart must be set to heart and back to back, or there will be no sap from root to branch, and this I say, must be done by a wound." - John Bunyan (The Excellency of a Broken Heart) | ||||||

75 | Sunday Sabbath or not? | Ex 20:8 | azurelaw | 232915 | ||
Dear EdB, I see that you have long been a forum participant since 2001 and my experience in reading some of your past posts no doubt have been pleasant and a blessing. Yet, I feel sad to see your below statement unfair and lacking brotherly love. "As I said I think this discussion is ended unless you want to make another charge against me." I really cannot understand how could you presume Beja's motive if he would continue the discussion. From your such statement, are you saying if he continues to respond, he will be liable to setting any charges against you (be it legitimate or not)? Shalom Azure |

76 | Where did Jesus do away with the Sabbath | Luke 6:5 | azurelaw | 232674 | ||
Dear elder, I am a bit puzzled by your post to Brad. The book of Romans does not have chapter 17 nor 18, and Romans chapter 13 is not talking about Sabbath. So, what is your follow up question on the subject? By the way, your primary question (post 232622) said "...I want scpirtual proof; book,chapter and verse not a opinion". Now, you said you just want to hear other people's POINT OF VIEW (caps are my emphasis); so, do you think that you are contradicting yourself? Shalom Azure |

77 | God's fair standards to judge evildoers | John 5:28 | azurelaw | 232643 | ||
Dear Dan, You ask: "are you arguing that people who lived before Jesus came to earth was already condemned not to be saved at all?" Though I cannot answer on behalf of Steve, however, in response to your question, my answer is below (pay attention to the grammar): "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. (John 3:18) I think Brother Beja's post 232596 about his exposition on Roman 1:18-32 is excellent and should be helpful for your understanding. You might consider to read those posts on the thread. Shalom Azure |

80 | How does one explain the above steps? | Bible general Archive 4 | azurelaw | 232562 | ||
Dear Jenny, I think you are talking about Order of Salvation (Latin: ordo salutis). Below is a quote from Monergism.com for your reference. ************* “Ordo salutis” is a Latin term which means “the order of salvation”. It speaks of a way of organizing all the events and realities in the process of salvation, in the order that they show up in an individual's life. This order is sometimes temporal (e.g., we are justified a certain amount of time before we are glorified in the eternal state); but sometimes it is just logical, or causal (e.g., we exercise faith as soon as God gives us a new birth, but his regeneration is the cause of our faith). The “ordo salutis” is a very important concept because the doctrine of salvation is so rich and nuanced, and involves so many different realities, that we will not understand it the way that we should if we do not define all of its elements very carefully. We grow in sanctification and holiness as we grow in our understanding of the gospel, and realize all the spiritual blessings that we have in Christ; and so, if we are unclear on the many precious things that God's Word has to say about the order of events which his salvation brings about in our lives, we will remain immature in our faith and conduct. A simple “ordo salutis” is as follows: the first event that had to take place for us to be saved is God's unconditional love and election of us in eternity past. Then, God sent us an outward call at some point in our lives, or in other words, he brought the message of the gospel across our paths, either through the reading or the hearing of the word. Next, he gave an inward call, through the prompting of the Holy Spirit, which regenerated, or brought to life our previously dead hearts. Because of this regeneration, we experienced conversion, that is, repentance from our sin and faith in Christ. Then, in consequence of our faith, we are justified, that is, God legally declares us righteous, by imputing or reckoning Jesus' perfect righteousness to our own account. At the same time, God adopts us, making us his children and the brothers and sisters of Christ; and he also unites us with Christ, so that henceforth we are in him. Beginning at that point, and on throughout our lifetime, God sanctifies us, or makes us holy, changing us into his likeness. Throughout this time, God is also preserving us, causing us to persevere in the faith, so that we do not finally fall away. Then, at death, we enter an intermediate state, where we are in the presence of the Lord, but without our physical bodies. And finally comes glorification, when our bodies will be resurrected and changed so that they will no longer decay, and we will inherit the new heavens and new earth, where we will live in the presence of our Immanuel for all eternity. *************** Shalom Azure |
