:) Thanks Hank for your words of encouragement about my attitude. I humbly say 'thank you' and as I'm sure you already know, all the glory belongs to GOD. His Word is 'growing me up' :) I Peter 2:2 I want to understand the truth of God's word and I want the body of Christ to 'come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:' Eph 4:13. And if I've err from the truth, I want to know and be corrected. Correction(chastening) may hurt the pride, but 'nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby'. You gave me a GOOD laugh with 'You must be Southern, too; you have such genteel manners'. A merry heart does good like a medicine! If Florida is considered the south, then I guess I am southern :). Now, to answer your question. Am I still Baptist? I guess you could say that. :) I still go to a Baptist church. One thing I'm not clear on is where the different demonination came from. But I guess that would be another subject entirely! :) I'll go to my profile and add a bit about myself. I tend to come and go on this site, but I do look forward to dialoguing with you and my other brothers and sisters in Christ. Abba Father bless you and keep you. |

65 | Corrected post! sorry for err! | John 1:1 | mbooker | 56574 | ||
Thank Estelle I see exactly what you are saying about Jesus. I was just thinking about it this morning. And the fact that Jesus said he and the Father are one help to clarify that if they are one and Father is the Most High then so is Jesus because they are one. I also thought about 'Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name' (Phil 2:9). Abba Father bless you :) |

Estelle I must tell you... I have been pondering your words and they have, I believe, helped me. I can honestly say I have never look at Jesus as 'the Most High God'. I look at God the Father as Most High but I had never seen the Son in that light. Your words have aided me in seeing my Savior, the Son, as the Most High. thanks and Abba Father bless and keep you... :) |

67 | a Muslim arguement | John 1:3 | mbooker | 64090 | ||
I agree meusing. They must not have read and/or believed: John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. John 1:18 No man hath seen God at any time, the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him. John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 1 John 3:8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. 1 John 4:15 Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God. 1 John 5:5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God? 1 John 5:10 He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. 1 John 5:20 And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life. |

68 | Saved vs. Works (John 5:24 and 5:28-29) | John 5:24 | mbooker | 60757 | ||
Good Morning Brother John! I appreciate your statement 'We are saved by faith alone, but not by a faith that is alone' Just yesterday, I was thinking about what Paul said ('For by grace are we saved thru faith... not of works' Eph 2:8-9) vs what James said in Jam 2:18-22 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect? And I came to the conclusion that a work is simply external evidence of our faith/what we believe. Again, I appreciate your statement. It was beautifully said and I think I'm going to remember it for a long time :). Abba Father Bless you... Meredith |

To all the posters on this and 'Divine Healing' thread. When I was a child, in Sunday School I was assigned this B Attitude: Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called the children of God. Matt 5:9 Is it possible that the following is a short and simple answer to the healing/prosperity teaching, teachers/false teachers debate? When they heard [that], they were cut [to the heart], and took counsel to slay them. Then stood there up one in the council, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, had in reputation among all the people, and commanded to put the apostles forth a little space; And said unto them, Ye men of Israel, take heed to yourselves what ye intend to do as touching these men. For before these days rose up Theudas, boasting himself to be somebody; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves: who was slain; and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered, and brought to nought. After this man rose up Judas of Galilee in the days of the taxing, and drew away much people after him: he also perished; and all, [even] as many as obeyed him, were dispersed. And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nought: But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be found even to fight against God. And to him they agreed: and when they had called the apostles, and beaten [them], they commanded that they should not speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go. Act 5:33-40 If the teachings (counsel) or ministry (work) of those labeled healing/prosperity teachers (or false teachers) 'be of men, it will come to nought: But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it'. |

Good morning Brother Tim Such a clear and precise post!! (at least to me :) ) While I firmly believe we are saved by grace thru faith and not of works, I struggled with thinking that believing and receiving could technically be termed as a 'work'. Your example was refreshing to me and I especially liked the way you ended this post: The Biblical view of works in quite clear: I believe and am saved then I obey and do good works. Not: I believe and obey and do good works and then I am saved. This is another gospel! I thank God for you and what you share here... btw, I will be looking for an interlinear Bible Thanks again Meredith |

74 | Is God somehow responsible? | Rom 1:20 | mbooker | 70190 | ||
Hi Brother John!! I would like to sneak in here and ask one quick question... then I'm outta here!!! :) You said that you hold the historic protestant view which is that God has ordained all things that occur. Just because 'God has ordained all things that occur', does that also mean that whatever occurs is in line with His will? His good, acceptable and perfect will? If your answer is no, please disregard the remainder of this post. But if it is yes, please indulge me… I have a few more questions :). I will again use Adam and Eve to try and further explain myself. God commanded saying 'Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, you shall not eat of it: for in the day that you eat thereof you shall surely die.’ Gen 2:16-17. God commanded the man not to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Am I correct in my belief that it was His will, His perfect will that they not eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil? If your answer is no, please disregard the remainder of this post. But if it is yes… If you have come this far, am I correct to say you agree that: God ordaining something to occur equals whatever occurs is His will, his perfect will. If your answer is no, please disregard the remainder of this post. But if it is yes… Since it was God’s will that the man NOT eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, how could He have ordained man to eat of that tree when it was His will, his perfect will that man NOT eat of that tree? Thanks for your time and I pray that you and yours enjoy remembering the birth of our Savior. Meredith |

Nicely said loyla. I have JW's come by my house and I found myself easily slipping into a 'debate' with them. I guess we, children of the most High, simply need to be on guard and walk in love at all times so that we won't offend because love never fails. |

Hi kalos Sorry I was misunderstood there :). I wasn't thinking that you believed the listing you posted. And my question wasn't directed at you to answer. Maybe someone who believe Jesus wasn't God in the flesh will see the post and respond. Also, I just post another question to you r'Jehova's Witnessess in a Nutshell' post and those questions weren't directed at you to answer. I believe you and I are on the same page with this one. I posted just to get us (JWs and non JWs alike thinking) :). I'll do that search to read up on what you have posted. Abba Father bless you and keep you |

77 | Are christians sinners or not? | Rom 3:23 | mbooker | 69245 | ||
I tend to fall on the side that I am not a sinner. My main reason for this is I Cor 5:19. After reading Brother John’s post, I decided to look up the word sinner at blueletterbible.org. It is the word hamartolos which means: devoted to sin, a sinner 1a) not free from sin 1b) pre-eminently sinful, especially wicked 1b1) all wicked men 1b2) specifically of men stained with certain definite vices or crimes 1b2a) tax collectors, heathen 1 John 3:9 in the Amp version indicates that those born of God will not deliberately, knowingly, and habitually practice sin and I believe that this person in 1 John 3:9 is NOT devoted to sin Romans 6 tells me that I am dead to sin (v2) and he that is dead is free from sin (v7). Now, I ask myself why do I, who am dead to sin, live any longer therein, considering the truth that sin does not have dominion over me (v14) and I have been made free from sin (v18,22)? Then I see that I am told to: 1. Reckon myself to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ my Lord. (v11) 2. Let not sin therefore reign in my mortal body (v12) 3. Neither yield my members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield myself unto God, as one that is alive from the dead, and my members as instruments of righteousness unto God (v13) After reading these passages, I again ask myself, why sin? And then I think of what Paul wrote in Romans 7, especially vv14-25. I still have yet to grasp an understanding of what he was saying. Just thoughts that are going thru my head… Grace and Peace to you all… Meredith |

Hi Brother Robert… I hope you don’t mind that I picked you to ask this question, since a couple of others in this thread have quoted 1 John 1:8. Are you saying that 1 John 1:8 is one reason Christians should consider themselves sinners? (btw, I am using the biblical word for sinner: hamartolos - devoted to sin, a sinner, not free from sin, pre-eminently sinful, especially wicked, all wicked men, specifically of men stained with certain definite vices or crimes, tax collectors, heathen) Another point I have been pondering is this: Just because we have sin, as 1 John 1:8 states, does that automatically mean we will sin? I ponder this for 2 reasons: One because of what John said in 1 John 2:1: My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. He wrote that they sin NOT. BUT, he said IF any sin, not WHEN any sin. I see a big difference in those 2 little words. And two, because of what Paul said in Romans 6:11-12: Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. From John and Paul, I gather that while we have sin, we are to consider ourselves dead to it and not let in reign in our mortal body. But IF we do sin, thank GOD Almighty, we have an advocate, our big Brother! Another reason I believe we are no longer sinners (as defined by the bible) is because we have been made new creatures and we have been made the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. When I think of the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus (what we have been made into) being called a sinner, I think of 2 Cor 14-16: Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. While I understand that this passage is talking about being yoked together with unbelievers, when I think of the righteousness of God and sinner being ‘joined’ in the Christian, I think ‘what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?’. And that is where I have difficulty calling a Christian a sinner (the biblical definition). My, this is longer that I had intended! : ) Grace and peace to you Meredith |
