Hey Brad, I understand and I truly understand the heart felt passion many have when it comes to our God and His word. In regards to the regulars. I thank God for them! I've learned much from many on this forum. I read this forum daily and usually several times a day. This forum is a great place for learning there is no doubt about it and there are some good teachers here. I agree the heart of most of the regulars are in the right place most of the time. I pray my post did not come across as if they were not. Something I would like everyone to consider. When someone makes a post instead of taking the defensive approach simply give them the truth in God's word. No one, including the devil can defeat the truth. Regardless of what they say, the truth will always stand out and there is no need for pride or defensive language or sarcasm to strengthen it. If someone feels the need to defend God's word then it should be done as God has instructed 1 Pet. 3:15. The word of God will stand on it's own every time. When I think about God's word and it's power I always think about Hebrews 4:12 and Isaiah 55:11. Is that not some awesome scripture! What more could we possibly do to it to improve on that? Also Brad, I don't exclude myself from any of this. Not just on the forum but in my daily life as well. I'm just as guilty. You know it's funny how easy it is to recognize something when you are so familiar with it, good or bad. |

Try it again and don't look for someone else to interpret it for you. Allow the Holy Spirit to guide you as you read the words of God. No need to respond to the other post I mentioned. Just read them. Forget about the words of men, and pay close attention to the words of God that were shared with you. They were shared with you out of love in hopes that you will see the truth therein. |

I understand what your saying. For man without God, the truth is hard to accept 1 Corinthians 2:14. Your not the first nor will you be the last to think you know better then God. Our sinful and selfish nature wants things our way. God's ways are different then mans (Isaiah 55:9) and without Him you cannot understand them. Of course you want no part of Christian love. Your still serving your master the devil at this point. He will not allow you to love as a Christian. But you have come to a place where people understand this. We are well aware of the hold he has on you. If you read the bible as you stated, then you should know that Christ died for the sinner. He didn't die for the saved for there were none Romans 3:23. This includes you and me. And regardless of weather you want to be a part of Christian love or not, you are. You came into this forum and introduced yourself to many who hold to the word of God, have tasted His love and are guided by the Holy Spirit. We love you despite your opinion of us. I for one am truly concerned for your salvation. There is more proof for you that God exist. If the Holy Spirit was not in me then why would I care one way or the other about you when all I know is your screen name and what you have posted. Yet I pray for you that God will open your eyes so that you too will know Him as I have come to know Him. |

Romans 10:9 | ||||||
67 | ... | Bible general Archive 3 | humbledbyhisgrace | 158506 | ||
Romans 10:9 It's not my agenda. I’m simply a follower of the Christ. My Saviour and your only hope for salvation. Ironic how your own words reveal who you are and what you’re about. This is but one example as all your post speak for themselves, but thanks again for making it easy for all to see your motives. You say “This verse doesnt answer the question. You have your own agenda, I see.” Humm… my own agenda … as in “also” and it conflicts with yours. Interesting! But I understand you well. The truth is hard for you to accept and you need to be able to feel good about where you are at in life. You’re struggling with this because deep down inside you know you’re wrong but unwilling to change. So for you and others like you, there is a need to convince others to see things your way so you can be at peace with it. Problem is, there is no peace and you will never find that peace until you understand Romans 10:9 and accept it. If you were at peace with your beliefs, then you would be comfortable with your own kind. But you find no peace and comfort there. This is why you are drawn to Christians. As long as there are those that understand and hold to the truth, you cannot have peace where you stand. You have the desire and need to change their minds because you feel inside this will justify you and there will be peace in that for you. Sorry but this will never happen! This is why I point you to Romans 10:9. You will never find peace nor will you ever be able to change the truth. My hope is that you will hear God’s words and accept them. In Him you will find the answers and the peace you seek. |

68 | if you are saved are you always saved? | Bible general Archive 3 | humbledbyhisgrace | 162909 | ||
Hey Scoop! Interesting post! Was it fear of the judgement that caused you to accept Jesus as your Lord and Saviour? If so, what is it about the judgment you feared? Also, could you explain in your opinion why there would be no need for judgement day if "once saved always saved"? Steve |

69 | if you are saved are you always saved? | Bible general Archive 3 | humbledbyhisgrace | 162911 | ||
Hey Scoop, You said "Salvation is free, but it ain't cheap". Very good point! Salvation was truly not cheap. Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ had to suffer for our salvation and die on the cross for our salvation. He understood there was nothing at all we could do for ourselves to save ourselves. Yet He loved us enough that even as sinners He went to the cross for our sins so that He alone could provide a way for us to be saved for our sins. We didn't have to do anything at all. Ours was only to accept His free gift. Praise God for being willing and capable of paying the price for our sin! Now, was your statement "Salvation is free, but not cheap" referring to what I said above or are you saying there is some price that we have to pay for it also? Steve |

70 | 2 Timothy 2:15 | Bible general Archive 3 | humbledbyhisgrace | 169622 | ||
Hello calmrage! You have made some interesting comments regarding lionheart's post in which he was trying to help you. You said " I hope you understand.. I know you were trying to make a point. However, I think it may only make people hard to understand what you are trying to say even though you use a lot of verses as reference. However, they are not what people want to know. " " You remind me of some pastors. In order to show how well they know about the Bible. Regardless of what the questions, they will make a big circle of long statements and at the end I was thinking.. For that question, it coule be answer in 1 minute which they can spend 15 minutes trying to make a point. Was that my question??? Or was I not directly enough??? " Be glad brother lionheart and the pastors you speak of do not give you a simple answer from a man's point of view. They know the importance and value of God's word and that this is where the truth comes from. And you are right, many times this is not "what people want to know". But this is a sign of a mature Christian not a show off. A mature Christian will point you to the scriptures so that the word of God is your guide and not their opinion. Think about that! Would you be more comfortable with lionhearts answer if he would have simply given his opinion and said yes or no to your question or the fact he guides you to scripture so you can see for yourself what the word of God has to say? You said "A Christian look alike (Mormon or Johovah witness) knocked on the door and say "Knock and ye should find "and spread the so called gospel, we believe? They say thngs so close to the truth... we believe??? " Read Galatians 1:6-10 and then read lionhearts post again. Notice his maturity in Christ as he points you to the word of God so that you may know the truth taught to you by God and not by man. You said "Again, simple question needs simple answer...." No. All questions should be seeking the truth regardless if the answer is simple or not. Your Brother in Christ, Steve |

I understand what you are saying! But I would encourage you to think about accepting another's opinion as truth. Always compare it with scripture! And when someone like lionheart or the pastors spoken of offer you scripture reference as answers thank God He has sent someone to you to point to His truth and not someone more interested in giving you an opinion. There is a difference! Searcher recommended a good web site for information along the lines of what you are asking and I think you will find it a good source of the distinctive teachings of many of the more popular false gospels. I want to use something you said as an example of why there is nothing more important then God's word to guide you and why you should rejoice when someone points you to scripture instead of giving you simple short answers to satisfy your question. You said " I have spoken with some Johova wittness people, they can also quote what the Bible says just like you and lionheart did and yet that is not enough to show that what actually they believe because their gospel is so close..." If you know the word of God and know the gospel as it is taught in the word of God, you will see that what the Jehovah Witness teach is not even close to what the word of God teaches. As a matter of fact, they have it so wrong I'm surprised they spelled Jesus correctly. It's when you don't know what the word of God teaches that you can and will be deceived. I hope you understand where I am coming from. I only wish to encourage you in seeking God's word as your guide even when you trust the source of the information you receive. God bless, Steve |

73 | Sin vs Love | Bible general Archive 3 | humbledbyhisgrace | 178641 | ||
Greetings NightJay! I believe your heart is in the right place dear brother, but I would encourage you to point to scripture so others might see what the word of God has to say about them. For starters, take a look at these scriptures. Sin actually started with Lucifer( Isaiah 14:12-15). God is Love (1 John 4:7-21) It's best if we use the word of God and not our own opinions. We need to be careful so that we not mislead anyone. God Bless, Steve |

75 | soaking ,,,in praise and worship | Bible general Archive 3 | humbledbyhisgrace | 179425 | ||
Greetings! Taken from the soaking.com web site "WHAT IS SOAKING? " "To "soak" in God's presence is to rest in His love rather than to "strive" in prayer. As the person who is soaking connects with the Holy Spirit (receiving a touch from God begins to connect you with the reality of the Holy Spirit's presence), they often respond by falling or simply lying on the floor. As they rest expectantly waiting in God's presence, the Holy Spirit hovers over them to reveal more of God's love. God will also use these times to renew and repair areas of a person's life." "As the believer soaks God takes control and begins to draw their attention to His word either in the bible or through internal audible impressions or pictures they see in their mind's eye." Based on this information I would say your not going to find scripture to back up the practice. You say you have been taught this, have you ask those that have taught you this for scripture reference. It would be interesting to see the scriptures they use to base this practice on. Here are the scriptures that the soaking.com web site use as reference to say soaking is biblical. Psalm 23:1-3 Psalm 131:2 Psalm 4:4 Psalm 37:7 Matthew 11:28-30 Hebrews 4:9-11 Isaiah 40:29-31 Psalm 27:14 Proverbs 1:33 Luke 10:39 Hosea 2:14 I'm only giving you my opinion here but I would say based on what they offer, well...... NO! scripture does not teach this! If you want to experience God, read His word, Pray to Him, Worship Him, Follow His commandments (Found in His word), find your place in a God fearing Bible teaching church and engage by using the gifts He has given you. God bless, Steve |

76 | Passages about beleiving in God | Bible general Archive 3 | humbledbyhisgrace | 179671 | ||
Hello Denny, Could you clear a few things up please? Part of your post you say "The central theme is faith - not one faith, just faith in general" What do you mean by faith in general? Latter on you go on to say " I'd like to start her off listening to a passage that conveys my main theme (in a Christian context)" I'm curious if you are attempting to compare the Christian's faith in God to anyone's faith in something else. What say you? When you say "I'm looking for a passage saying that one must believe in God before one can expect anything from Him" can you explain what you mean by "expect anything from Him"? Thanks! God bless, Steve |

77 | Mary's virginity remained intact | Bible general Archive 3 | humbledbyhisgrace | 180515 | ||
Parable, You said "I'm asking for the biblical basis that this act, committed by a willing Mary and God, is not adultery. Either it is by virtue of the fact the law does not apply to God or what happened was somehow not illicit, sexual or both. " Let me say, I'm a bit concerned by your question especially after you appear to box God in with your previous comments and the way you present your question. Simply understanding only but a couple of things the Lord God clearly teaches us in His word about Himself should be sufficient for helping you to see you couldn't be farther from the truth in assuming such a thing of the Lord God. Exodus 20:14 (NASB95) "You shall not commit adultery". (Clearly from this and other scriptures we see that adultery is a sin). Consider the following scriptures. James 1:13 (NASB95) Let no one say when he is tempted, "I am being tempted by God"; for God cannot be tempted by evil, and He Himself does not tempt anyone. Leviticus 11:44 (NASB95) 'For I am the LORD your God. Consecrate yourselves therefore, and be holy, for I am holy. And you shall not make yourselves unclean with any of the swarming things that swarm on the earth. Matthew 5:48 (NASB95) "Therefore you are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect. Deuteronomy 32:3-4 (NASB95) 3 "For I proclaim the name of the LORD; Ascribe greatness to our God! 4 "The Rock! His work is perfect, For all His ways are just; A God of faithfulness and without injustice, Righteous and upright is He. 2 Samuel 22:31 (NASB95) "As for God, His way is blameless; The word of the LORD is tested; He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him. These are just a sample for you to consider regarding who God is and what His word teaches us about Him. Steve |

Parable, Perhaps it’s your hermeneutics that fail you. Consider this, you have taken God, Mary, and the sin of adultery and are trying to explain the conception. I would argue based on your attempt at exegesis on this matter you have failed to consider several important things that are required to properly do so. 1) Know what the scriptures teach about God. 2) Know what the scriptures teach about Mary. 3) Know what the scriptures teach about sin. 4) Know what the scriptures teach regarding the conception. Example: You have chosen to include the sin of adultery. Where did that come from? This is not mentioned in the scriptures regarding this event. Yet you are trying to attribute it to the event. In my opinion, your mistake here is not understanding what scripture teaches us about what sin is as well as what scripture teaches us about God. Answer this question for yourself. What does the bible say sin is? Not the different types of sin, but what is sin according to God’s word? Once you have answered that question and come to an understanding of what the scriptures say about God and Mary and the conception then you should be better prepared to explain it. You appear to be attempting exegesis without proper understanding and/or elimination of the major facts of what you seek to explain. Instead, you are assuming much and applying that which does not apply. You attempt to reconcile it based on your assumptions and faulty reasoning which appear to be rooted in the flesh and not the Spirit. Understand? By Faith, Steve |
