Ephesians 5:22 | ||||||
63 | Do you have to know Christ? | Eph 2:8 | journey_me | 146650 | ||
God created two ways to enter the kingdomof heaven. The first was through the law, and the second was through Christ Jesus, Jesus died so that we would be free from the law, and have a chance to enter the kingdom of heaven. Those that do not know Jesus and those that do not believe in God cannot enter heaven. They are not condemned to hell, but they will not know eternal life. How can someome go somewhere that they don't believe exists or that they don't have faith in? I think what the Pastor was saying, is that there is another way to know God other than through Christ, and that is by following the law. The law is the covenant that God made with the Jews in the Old Testament. However, in Ephesians in clearly states that the law (works) along will not allow you to enter the Kingdom, you must have faith. So people who just do good things, need to also believe in God and practice the old covenant, or believe in grace by Christ. |

64 | Do you have to know Christ? | Eph 2:8 | journey_me | 146656 | ||
I believe you are right and believe what I have said was not written to convey the message clearly. I think what I was saying is that god made a promise though Abraham (the law) and through Jesus (faith). I was trying interpret what I believed the pastor was saying. I do believe that you are saved though faith along, but it is my undrstanding that Jews follow the law, because of a promise God made to Abraham, and that they believe they are saved as long as they follow the law or until their "messiah" comes (although we know he has already come). Is this correct? Galtians 3:6 Consider Abraham: “He believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.”[a] 7Understand, then, that those who believe are children of Abraham. 8The Scripture foresaw that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, and announced the gospel in advance to Abraham: “All nations will be blessed through you.”[b] 9So those who have faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith. |

66 | Is santanism real? Spiritual World? | Eph 6:12 | journey_me | 153261 | ||
My mother-n-law says that we have to be careful in not knowing about the spiritual world. She says withcraft and santanism is out there, whether or not we give power to it. Raising of the dead, and calling the spirits are all mention in the bible. I always believed that God is the only power and that if you believe those things exist that you were giving power to them. She says if you are not aware of them, you could be opening your house to those bad spirits. Where in the bible does it talk about these spirits. I have read the new testaments, and I know Jesus talk to the legion of demons, but are they really spirits. When the bibe talks about demons and devils, I always thought they were talking about people and sins, not some spirit. Just because someone practice witchcraft doesn't make it real, right? Any book suggestions. Where in the bible is Lucifer cast out of heaven? Are the link of angels? What does that mean? |

71 | Literal or Not? | 2 Tim 3:16 | journey_me | 92870 | ||
Is the bible literal in regards to history and creation? Timothy 3:16 depicts the bible as being a source for living or a guide. It doesn't directly or indirectly apply that the bible is literal. With that being said, how do we distibguish metaphors, parables, and symbols? None of these ideas take away from Timothy 3:16. When discusiing creation you are lead to believe that the bible is literal? Where is the proof that the Genesis creation story should be read as such? |

72 | Literal or Not? | 2 Tim 3:16 | journey_me | 92873 | ||
I appreciate your help. I already beleive in the creation story. I am looking for ways to discuss it with none believers, therefore I need biblical evidence. If there isn't a biblical reference it is harder to prove my case. The bible can have metaphors without being fables, myths, or superstitions. The questions is why or why not is the bible literal? Is there proof either way? |

74 | Homosexual are picked on in the church? | James 2:1 | journey_me | 177299 | ||
I was researching homosexuality on this website, and everyone seems to point to 1 Cor 6:9, as proof that homosexuality is wrong. The problem that I have is that this verse names every sin, and every human being falls under one of those categories, so why do people ignore the rest of the verse, and pick on homosexuals. Every human being is either an idolater, adulterer, covetous, swindler, immoral, or a fornicator in some way are another. Why are all these people allowed to be Christians, but homosexuals are not. Every human being is a sinner and being a homosexual is no different from being a fornicator, God said sexual immorality is wrong. Why are ministers allowed to hold positions in the church when they are not married, we know they having sex. Why are pregnant women who are not married allowed right and benefits when we know they are fornicators. Can someone please show me or advised me, where the bible singles out homosexuality as the only damning sin. For the record I am not gay, I'm married with 2 children, but I was reading some of the comments and I was outraged. My brother-in-law is gay and his brother won't talk to him because the bible says it's wrong, however he is not married and lost his virginity at 14. |

75 | Homosexual are picked on in the church? | James 2:1 | journey_me | 177325 | ||
Almost, there but I would need to point out, that you associate homosexual with murders and rapist, and that proves my point on the Christian attitudes toward homosexuality. Ou of all the sins to have picked, your opinion shines through when you picked violent crimes. I would like to say you can be a practicing homosexual and be a Christian. You can in fact be a "Gay Christian" just because you don't act on it doesn't mean the feelings or thoughts go away. These are addictions and people who do not have them think it's a simple thing, just like women, stop doing drugs, or stop drinking. You can be a fornicating Chrstian and I think our society is more socially acceptable of this practice than they are of homosexuals, as evident of all the people in the church. I'm not arguing that it's right, I am arguing that we need to devote as much time on all of the sins as we do homosexuality. This includes war, fammine, pre-marital sex, pregnancies out of wedlock, gamblers, porn addictions, drug addicts, drunkards. Only God knows what are in their hearts, I believe we apply and mis-apply scripture to suit our preferences. If Jesus was alive today, he will tell all sinners to come into the house of the Lord. We are so busy telling people they are wrong, that we can't even bring them to Christ to get fixed. If we turned away all the people who committed one of the sins listed above, we will have a pretty empty church. We as Christians need to bring people closer to God, so that they may know him. Once they know him, they will be inflicted with his conviction, and then may be they will no in their hearts what's wrong and what's not. |

First off I said a lot more in that argument, and you are doing just as you accuse me of doing, which is the problem when humans ineract. I was just wondering why he picked murder and rape and robbery, instead adultery, prostitution, lying, or cheating? In the example, the people that were given over to lust were not believers, and that is why God gave them over. Being born again is not istantaneous, it is an ongoing process that you have to invest in everyday. You can't go to church and be born again and that's it. You have to walk in the word and sorry that takes time even for the most humble. If Jesus was alive today, I don't think he would attack. He will show them the way. You are stereotyping, and that is why the gay community turns away from the church. There are people who are gay that knows it's wrong, but when they come to Christians they are attacked, so where do they go. They go to the gay community where they are fed mistruths. All you have to do is teach God and the bible, and if they are truly saved Jesus will lead the way. We all are an abomination in one way or another. You also missed my point, 10 percent or less of the population practice homosexuality. As much 50 percent of the population practice sex outside of marriage. I believe sexual immorality is an abomination. The bible spends a lot more time on topic of fornication than it does homosexuality. I have yet to see preachers kick fornicators out of the church. You can go to church now and see a sea of sexual immorality. Lead the crucade because they too are defiling the church with their lust. It's way more of them. 50 percent of marriages end in divorce, lead the crucade. These people bring upon themselves, as well. I am not and have not said that homosexuality is right. Nor will I ever say that, but I will never say that they are not welcome in the house of the Lord. I feel it is our responsibility as Christians to bring them closer to God, and not attack them because we are not homosexuals ourselves. I will never know what they go through and I will never presume that it's something simple or an easy fix. Obviously it's something more than we would understand, and that is why God gave them over to their lust, and those he gave over were non-believers who refused to truth. All gays don't fit into that category. Rom 1:24 Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. 25They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen. 26Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. 27In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion. Rom 2:1-4 You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on someone else, for at whatever point you judge the other, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things. 2Now we know that God's judgment against those who do such things is based on truth. 3So when you, a mere man, pass judgment on them and yet do the same things, do you think you will escape God's judgment? 4Or do you show contempt for the riches of his kindness, tolerance and patience, not realizing that God's kindness leads you toward repentance? |

This is my last word on it. I have learned some things from you and only those which I did not understand or agree with have I challenged. I am not being broad on attacking gays, my intital questions was why gays. We have a social responsibility to everyone. Gays and church have been so politicized, and they are only a handful or people compared to the church. I feel we are misleading the body, by not applying the same amount of pressure on sex in the church, as well. We will not allow a homosexual to be preachers, but we will allow a fornicator. Do not take it personal to mean that is what you do. I don't think you personally would do that to anyone, I love this forum. I have been wrong and you personally have pointed me in the right direction. Just as I say all homosexuals are not evil, all church memebers aren't attacking. I don't think anyone can define it as right because it's not. I am tired of the Christian community spending more time on this group of people when there is larger issues to deal with. Safe sex is the new message, but the safest sex is no sex until you are married. I just wish that was in fore fronts a lot more. I do agree with you that you can't call evil good. Attack the si, not sinner, but a lot of the times that not the case. |

I agree. Thanks. I used the 10 percent statistic not for those accounting themeselves as homosexuals, but those who may have done an unnatural sex act at some point. The numbers are smaller than we think, but you wouldn't know from all the press. This is the most response I have ever gotten on a question. Thanks to all, Brad K, Mark, and Hank. Love ya. Keep up the good work!!! |

79 | Dr. Rebecca Brown? | 2 Pet 1:3 | journey_me | 153297 | ||
Anyone here heard of Dr. Rebecca Brown, she has written a series of books on santanism and the Christian believer. Do you think this book is trash or important. My mother-in-law wants me to read it because she thinks satnism is real and we must know what's out there so that we can be equipped to battle. Any thoughts? | ||||||
80 | Dr. Rebecca Brown? | 2 Pet 1:3 | journey_me | 153299 | ||
That is what I believe and that is why I was asking has anyone read this book. My mother-in-law thinks ignorance may lead to us opening the doors for evil. I believe the bible is the authority, and God would have given great detail if he felt is was necessary for us to know Satan and his philosophy. However in Ephesians 6:12, he does tell us. "12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand." She takes this to mean that we need to be aware of who the evil doers are and what they are doing. I take this to mean that evil doers are out there and that you need to be equipped with the word of God, when you come in contact with them. | ||||||
