64 | Do demons still exist? | Matt 8:16 | David_24597 | 72545 | ||
Has anybody considered Mark 16:17? one of the things mentioned here is the casting out of demons. And, yes, demons are fallen angels that followed Satan into rebellion. They are the dragon's "angels" of Rev. 12:7. I can't remember the text right now but they have been transfomed to appear to be "angels of light". II Cor. 11:14 is the closest I can find to this. |

65 | Is Catholic considered false religion? | Matt 15:6 | David_24597 | 71678 | ||
Here's my two cents: I believe that the Catholic Church is the little horn of Dan. 7 and the first beast of Rev. 13. (the anti-christian power prophesied in the Bible). My reasons for this would be too long to go into here. Don't get me wrong though. I don't believe that any religious organization on the face of the planet is totaly Biblical. They all have fatal errors. But I don't believe that every member of those churches are lost. I think that God's people are in all religions (all denominations) everywhere. I believe that very soon a call will go out to these people to "come out" of these false religious organizations and to return to the purity of the beliefs and practices of the original apostles (the first christians). These will be God's people in the last days. The world will unite against them for their beliefs and practices and then the end will come. |

67 | Is Catholic considered false religion? | Matt 15:6 | David_24597 | 71688 | ||
CDBJ, you can add these to those verses you got there: "Ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord, and my servant whom I have chosen; that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am He: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me. I, even I, am the Lord; and beside me there is no Saviour." Isa. 43:10-11 "Assemble yourselves and come; draw near together, ye that are escaped of the nations: they have no knowledge that set up the wood of their graven image, and pray unto a god that cannot save. Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath declared this from ancient time? who hath told it from that time? have not I the Lord? and there is no God else beside me; a just God and a Saviour; there is none beside me. Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else. I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear. Surely, shall one say, in the Lord have I righteousness and strength: even to Him shall men come; and all that are incensed against Him shall be ashamed. In the Lord shall all the seed of Israel be justified, and shall glory." Isa. 45:20-25 I like the KJV myself. I think it is the closest to the original languages. |

I would agree with you. As an establishment they will never change. Neither will the majority of those in that establishment. However, maybe (just maybe) some few individuals can read these things and change. That's the only reason to show these things to them isn't it?. If just one or two individuals decides to read and obey then our work is done. Wouldn't you agree? | ||||||
69 | what was the org. day of the sabbath | Matt 28:1 | David_24597 | 72226 | ||
Yes, the original Sabbath of the fourth Commandment was Saturday. It was changed by the Roman Cahtolic Church. Note the following quotes from the Catholic Church itself: "Question: Have you any other way of proving that the church has power to institute festivals of precept? "Answer: Had she not such power she could not have done that in which all modern religionists agree with her: she could not have substituted the observance of Sunday the first day of the week, for the observance of Saturday the seventh day, a change for which there is no Scriptural authority." A Doctrinal Catechism, by Rev. Stephen Keenan, page 174. "Question: What day was the Sabbath? "Answer: Saturday "Question: Who changed it? "Answer: The Catholic Church." From Rev. Dr. Butler's Catechism, Revised, Page 57. "It was the Catholic Church which, ...has transformed this rest to the Sunday in remembrance of the resurrection of our Lord. Thus the observance of Sunday by the Protestants is an homage they pay, in spite of themselves, to the authority of the (Catholic) Church." Plain Talk About the Protestants of Today, by Msgr. Segur, Page 213. The first Sunday law ever made was that issued by the Emperor Constantine, March 7, A.D. 321, which reads as follows: "Let all judges and town people, and the occupation of all trades rest on the venerable day of the sun; but let those who are situated in the country, freely and at full liberty, attend to the business of agriculture; because it often happens that no other day is so fit for sowing corn and planting vines; lest the critical moment being let slip men should lose the commodities granted by heaven." Corpus Juris Civilis Cod.: lib. 3, tit.12,3 So, far a little while, the christians of the time were keeping BOTH Saturaday AND Sunday as days of rest. In A.D. 364 the council of Laodicea forbade the observance of the seventh-day Sabbath: "Sabbath, Change of, Action of Council of Laodicea on A.D. 364 – Christians shall not Judaize and be idle on Saturday (Sabbath, original) but shall work on that day; but the Lord's day they shall especially honor, and, as being Christians, shall, if possible, do no work on that day. If, however, they are found Judaizing, they shall be shut out from Christ." A History of the Councils of the Church: from the Original Documents, Rt. Rev. Charles Joseph Hefele, D.D., Bishop of Rottenburg, book 6, sec. 93, canon 29 (Vol. II, page 316). Edinburgh: T and T Clark, 1896. From this point on the Sabbath of the fourth Commandment was forsaken in favor of the pagan sabbath on Sunday. |

70 | do you have eternal or temporal life? | John 10:28 | David_24597 | 72368 | ||
I would agree with that. If a person becomes saved and then refuses to "follow on to know the Lord" (Hos. 6:3) he CAN loose his salvation. Hos. 4:6 also states that the saved (God's people) can be destroyed because they reject the knowledge given to them. Even Heb. 6:4-6 (especially verse 6) shows that Jesus CANNOT be crucified a second time. Once the first time has been accomplished (accepted) a second repentance is impossible. Now I know that a righteous man falls many times (Prov. 24:16) yet gets back up again. This text in Heb. 6 (also Heb. 10:26-27) would then indicate a falling away and a REFUSAL to repent from it. |

71 | How do I make sense of the context? | Acts 8:13 | David_24597 | 69785 | ||
Where does it say that future sins are ever forgiven? Doesn't a sin have to be repented of in order for it to be forgiven? Future sins don't even exist yet. How can something that doesn't exist be forgiven? Rom. 3:25 states that it is "past" sins that are forgiven. Hos. 4:6 states that God's people CAN fall. They have rejected some essential knowledge so God will, in turn, reject them. Specifically God's law is mentioned here too. Just some thoughts people might want to consider here. | ||||||

73 | How do I make sense of the context? | Acts 8:13 | David_24597 | 69802 | ||
ooohhhh, now I have to type everything in again!!!!! Hey Joe, Do you have any scriptural references showing that Rom. 3:25 only refers to sins commited BEFORE Jesus went to the cross? I am well aware that Jesus' death on the cross was done once for all. But I wasn't alive back then. NOW is the acceptable time. NOW is the day of salvation. NOW is the time I choose to repent and follow Jesus. Each and every day is a new day with new sins and new repentance. My christian life is one of continous growth. Sure I will stumble at times and fall, but never give up. Pick yourself up again and keep going. Two steps forward, one step back if you have to. Crawl if you have to. Just DON'T GIVE UP. I think those texts in Heb. that mention drawing back and crucifying Jesus a second time refer to those that fall and DON'T get up. |

74 | How do I make sense of the context? | Acts 8:13 | David_24597 | 69845 | ||
Actually, you need to make up your mind. No offense, but it sounds like on the one hand you say Jesus' sacrifice was only for those sins commited BEFORE His death on the cross. Rom. 3:25. Then you turn around and say His death is for ALL sins, for ALL time. I DO believe that His death is for ALL SINS, for ALL TIME. But only our PAST sins (the ones we have repented of) are forgiven. Sins we have not laid down at Jesus' cross are not forgiven. Even though the opportunity for forgiveness is given through Jesus. Yes, I believe that I am saved by Jesus' obedience and death on the cross. I also believe that I must join hands with Him to "work out my own salvation..." It is a conjuction of Jesus' actions with my own actions that saves me. With the help of the Holy Spirit (AND Jesus' sacrifice) this IS possible. This is what Rom. 8 means. Once we make our own commitment to follow Jesus, no one can seperate us from God. |

75 | How do I make sense of the context? | Acts 8:13 | David_24597 | 69857 | ||
We have freeedom of choice. If we CHOOSE not to follow God and repent from our sins we will not recieve any redemption. God will not force us to recieve redemption if we choose not to. Yes, our salvation IS a co-effort between us and God. God did His part. We must do ours. James chapter 2 | ||||||
76 | How do I make sense of the context? | Acts 8:13 | David_24597 | 69859 | ||
It's really quiet obvious once you think about it. Jesus' death on the cross made it possible for us to recieve redemption. If we CHOOSE not to receive it though, God will not force it on us. We must make the choice to accept Jesus' sacrifice as our payment for our sins. That is US working WITH God for our salvation. I know we are saved by grace through faith. Read James chapter 2 to see that faith is made perfect through our works. Works are required to show others our faith. Faith is not dead or blind. We are saved by grace THROUGH faith. Without faith it is impossible to please God. | ||||||
77 | How do I make sense of the context? | Acts 8:13 | David_24597 | 69861 | ||
I pray for the lost to repent and be saved. I pray for God to listen to them when they DO repent. God WILL NOT take away an individual's freedom of choice. If He would do that then Satan would never have fallen in the first place and ALL of God's creations are nothing more than slaves to a dictator. I REFUSE to believe that. Adam and Eve were given a choice whether or not to eat of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Noah was given the choice to build the ark. Abraham was given a choice to follow God. We are given a choice to repent or not. Jos. 24:15; Isa. 7:15 just to name a few. If I have no freedom of choice then I would rather die than live as a slave forever. I could go on and on here but I think these things are pretty obvious. | ||||||

I would agree with that wade???. I'm new to this forum (just joined a day or so ago) and don't know how to navigate it to view all those other posts you mentioned. I have heard though of the "once saved always saved" theory (about 20 years ago) and decided then that it wasn't Biblical (just some texts taken out of context and human supposition added to them to make them say something they really don't). There's too many other verses in the Bible that show that this theory is wrong. Get yourself a good concordance and try to argue the other side for a while LOL. Sometimes I do that myself. Approach the subject from every angle you can think of and find ALL the Bible texts that talk about this same subject. It will take you several days though LOL but in the end you will know exactly what the Bible says about it. | ||||||
