61 | Are the unevangelized people really lost | Rom 2:15 | Ric | 514 | ||
Yes, we need to fulfill the Great Commission at all costs! Because people have sinned, and even thou they have never heard of Jesus, they still have the law written on their hearts. Once the one goes against the law written on their heart, they have sinned (and we all do). Romans 2:12 For all who have sinned without the Law will also perish without the Law; and all who have sinned under the Law will be judged by the Law; 13 for not the hearers of the Law are just before God, but the doers of the Law will be justified. 14 For when Gentiles who do not have the Law do instinctively the things of the Law, these, not having the Law, are a law to themselves, 15 in that they show the work of the Law written in their hearts, their conscience bearing witness, and their thoughts alternately accusing or else defending them, 16 on the day when, according to my gospel, God will judge the secrets of men through Christ Jesus. (NAS) |

62 | Are the unevangelized people really lost | Rom 2:15 | Ric | 84057 | ||
Here is what you are looking for: Romans 2:12-16 (ESV) [12] For all who have sinned without the law will also perish without the law, and all who have sinned under the law will be judged by the law. [13] For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law who will be justified. [14] For when Gentiles, who do not have the law, by nature do what the law requires, they are a law to themselves, even though they do not have the law. [15] They show that the work of the law is written on their hearts, while their conscience also bears witness, and their conflicting thoughts accuse or even excuse them [16] on that day when, according to my gospel, God judges the secrets of men by Christ Jesus. |

63 | Do you have to be baptized to be saved? | Rom 6:3 | Ric | 99 | ||
COL 2:9 For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form, 10 and you have been given fullness in Christ, who is the head over every power and authority. 11 In him you were also circumcised, in the putting off of the sinful nature, not with a circumcision done by the hands of men but with the circumcision done by Christ, 12 having been buried with him in baptism and raised with him through your faith in the power of God, who raised him from the dead. 13 When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your sinful nature, God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins, 14 having canceled the written code, with its regulations, that was against us and that stood opposed to us; he took it away, nailing it to the cross. 15 And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross. (NIV) .................... This passage shows baptism as symbolizing the believer's participation in the burial and resurrection of Christ. | ||||||
64 | Was Pharaoh responsible? | Rom 9:17 | Ric | 119 | ||
Was Pharaoh really responsible for his rebellion against God, according to Romans 9:17? |

Thank You Brent! The "temporary repentance" you talked about is a new one for me, thanks again - that gives me more to study. God Bless! |

68 | What's the Greek word for homosexual? | 1 Cor 6:9 | Ric | 2713 | ||
1CO 6:9 ë ouk oidate hoti adikoi theou basileian ou klëronomësousin? më planasthe: oute pornoi oute eidölolatrai oute moichoi oute malakoi oute arsenokoit Here is the Greek N.T. verse 1 Cor. 6:9. As you see the last word is "arsenokoit". So yes, Paul did use that word in his letter to Corinth. Here's the Nave's refferance: HOMOSEXUAL [H3879, G780, G3434]. Sexual activity between members of the same sex is universally condemned in Scripture. Male homosexuality forbidden by law and punished by death (Lev 18:22; 20:13). Male and female homosexuality condemned (Ro 1:26). With other sexually immoral persons excluded from the kingdom of God (1Co 6:9-11). Sorry, that is all I can find in my books so far for you, I hope it helps some. In God's Grace, Ric |

69 | How is comunion only symbolic? | 1 Cor 10:16 | Ric | 5188 | ||
The cup of blessing used in the Lord's Supper brings us spiritually into participation in the blood of Christ and into fellowship with him. The same is true of the bread, whereby we become one body with him. The "cup of blessing" was a technical term for the third cup drunk at the Jewish Passover the time when the Lord's Supper was instituted. That "participation [G3126] in the blood of Christ" is meant to be a memorial symbol of fellowship with Christ rather than a literal drinking of his blood is clear from the fact that Christ had not yet died when he instituted this supper, and this participation is in remembering him, not in drinking him. | ||||||
70 | How is comunion only symbolic? | 1 Cor 10:16 | Ric | 5896 | ||
Jesus expected His disciples to take His words at the Last Supper in their figurative sense. The bread and wine did not change, but were symbols of His body and blood. The following arguments support this view. There is no indication in the Gospel accounts of the Last Supper that the Lord’s disciples thought that the bread and wine changed or that they worshiped them as divine. No reasonable person present at the Last Supper would have taken Jesus’ words to mean that He was now both at the table and on the table (and later under the table as crumbs were scattered). The Lord frequently used figurative language in His teachings even using the same verb translated “is” in His words “This is My body” (see John 6:48; 8:12; 10:9,11; 11:25 14:6; 15:1). Immediately after the Lord said of the wine, "This is my blood" (Matthew v 26:28), He said, “I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you in My Father’s kingdom” (Matthew 26:29). If the wine had changed into blood by His first statement, Jesus would not have referred to it in the second statement as “this fruit of the vine.” At the conclusion of the Last Supper, Jesus told His disciples, “These things I have spoken to you in figurative language” (John 16:25). There is nothing in the Book of Acts indicating that the first Christians believed the bread and wine changed. Neither do the Epistles of the New Testament speak of any change. One interpretation requires the eating of human flesh and drinking of human blood. This is strictly forbidden by Scripture (Leviticus 17:10-14; Acts 15:29). Scripture never ascribes more than one location at any given time to Christ’s bodily presence. According to the Bible, He is now enthroned in heaven. Christians are awaiting His Second Coming. He is not, therefore, bodily present in thousands of churches around the world. There is no precedent in Scripture for a miracle in which God expects the faithful to believe that something supernatural has happened despite all outward evidence indicating that nothing has happened. God has never dealt with people in this manner. |

71 | What does the word | Col 1:16 | Ric | 112 | ||
"All things... visible and invisible" - The "invisible" probably is a reference to "powers," "rulers," and "authorities." | ||||||
72 | In Jesus' name...except baptism? | Col 3:17 | Ric | 931 | ||
"In the name of the Lord Jesus" reflects the thought that to act in the name of a person is to act as his representative. Whereas those who become disciples are to be baptized "into" the name of the Trinity. I guess that's the simplest way I can state it, is that what you are looking for? |
||||||
73 | In Jesus' name...except baptism? | Col 3:17 | Ric | 966 | ||
Remember, that (water) Baptism is not needed for salvation, (water) Baptism is something we do (most of the time one of the first things we do) in obeying Jesus' command. A truely saved person in Christ will want to obey Jesus' commands, and we get (water) Baptized as one of our first acts of following Him as our Lord. It's symbolism, we get (water) baptized in the name of the Trinity because we are saved by the Trinity. I'm not going to talk about the method of water baptism, but we are salve by God like so - The Father whom gave us His Son and the Holy Spirit which is now in us. See, all three are part of our salvation, when we are baptized in the Trinity, it symbolizes the work of God. | ||||||
74 | Apostles mistaken? | Col 3:17 | Ric | 967 | ||
What you are talking about sounds like an "Oneness Pentecostalism" way of water baptism. In a answer below titled "Remember, that (water) Bapt..." might be of some help. I can come back later with a better explanation if needed. In God's Grace, Ric |
||||||
75 | (again) Apostles mistaken? | Col 3:17 | Ric | 982 | ||
I assume you are talking about Acts 2:38, where it says: "Peter replied, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit." (NIV) This is talking about "Baptism of the Holy Spirit" and not "water baptism". I am not trying to to say that you are in this or that denomination, I just said that it sounds like the teaching of "Oneness Pentecostalism" by the question your asking. It is a good question to ask, for we need to know or try our best to know what God is telling us. I might not be the best one to explain what God is trying to tell us from His Word, I am only a laymen in our Lord's Church. Apologetics is a hobby of mine that I've been self teaching myself for the past four years now, and I will try my best to explain God's Word as He want's us to know it and not my will. In God's Grace, Ric |

76 | I'm not sure what you are trying to ask | Col 3:17 | Ric | 31827 | ||
I'm not sure what you are trying to ask of me, but I'll try my best to answer what I think you are asking me. If I did answer you how you like or not, please reply. Yes, one must be born again to enter the Kingdom of God (as you stated in John 3:3 and 3:7), but you (and most people) read John 3:5 with a misunderstanding. John 3:5 Jesus answered, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. The one being "born of water" is the actual birth of a child from the mother’s birth canal. In the following verse in context explains that well: John 3:6 Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit. Water Baptism is not required for your salvation, if it were that would make Jesus' work on the cross for us insufficient. In God's Grace, Ric |

77 | I'm not sure what you are trying to ask | Col 3:17 | Ric | 32060 | ||
Amen! | ||||||
78 | I'm not sure what you are trying to ask | Col 3:17 | Ric | 32425 | ||
1 Peter 3:20 who once were disobedient, when the patience of God kept waiting in the days of Noah, during the construction of the ark, in which a few, that is, eight persons, were brought safely through the water. (NASB) Notice that the eight people were saved "through" the water and not "by" the water. Water baptism is something all Christians (notice that we are already saved) should do after salvation to confess Jesus as Lord and Savior. Being saved is the baptism of the Holy Spirit, because Jesus promised the Holy Spirit to all believers (John 14:16) in Him. God Bless! In God's Grace, Ric |

1 Peter 3:20 apeithësasin pote hote apexedecheto hë tou theou makrothumia en hëmerais Nöe kataskeuazomenës kibötou, eis hën oligoi, tout estin oktö psuchai, diesöthësan di hudatos. (Greek N.T.) I'm not knocking the KJV, but if we go back to the Greek, the phrase " diesöthësan di " in the Greek translates into "saved through" the water (hudatos translates into water). All translations of the Bible need to be studied very close. God Bless! In God's Grace, Ric |
||||||
80 | (again) Apostles mistaken? | Col 3:17 | Ric | 107049 | ||
Correct. I am a believer of "Believer's Baptism", and we are only saved by faith alone through grace alone, in Christ alone. God bless you! |
