61 | sins of the father | Bible general Archive 4 | lightedsteps | 222709 | ||
MamaMetal These verses say we are responsible for our own sins, and do not bear the sins (curses) of our fathers. Jer 31:29-33 29) In those days they shall say no more, The fathers have eaten a sour grape, and the children's teeth are set on edge. 30) But (EVERY ONE SHALL DIE FOR HIS OWN INIQUITY): every man that eateth the sour grape, his teeth shall be set on edge. 31) Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: 32) Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD: 33) But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people. Eze 18:4 Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: (THE SOUL THAT SINNETH, IT SHALL DIE). Eze 18:19-22 19) Yet say ye, Why? doth not the son bear the iniquity of the father? When the son hath done that which is lawful and right, and hath kept all my statutes, and hath done them, he shall surely live. 20) (THE SOUL THAT SINNETH, IT SHALL DIE. THE SON SHALL NOT BEAR THE INIQUITY OF THE FATHER, NEITHER SHALL THE FATHER BEAR THE INIQUITY OF THE SON: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him. 21) But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die. 22) All his transgressions that he hath committed, they shall not be mentioned unto him: in his righteousness that he hath done he shall live. With all of that now said. What you grew up with, becomes a learned way of living, what is abnormal actually becomes normal, if there isn't any counter example for you to observe. We make our own choices in life, regardless of how we were raised, we choose to be the same as our parents, or choose to be the opposite. To just believe we have no choice in the matter is a cop out. How many other things do you, and your children do, that are the same as you observed your parents do. besides the battering, yelling etc., but those things you would not change?

62 | MAN STEALS FROM ME AM I TO TURN MY HEAD | Rom 13:2 | lightedsteps | 222675 | ||
Mamametal There is the story about Steven, where his life was taken wrongfully, which is worth alot more than any ones property, but these are the words of Steven. Act 7:60 And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep. Was this becoming a doormat, or was he following the commandments of Christ? Therefore as I see it, the following scripture covers your situation. Luk 6:27 27) But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you, 28) Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you. 29) And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloke forbid not to take thy coat also. 30) Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again. 31) And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise. 32) For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them. 33) And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same. 34) And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again. 35) But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil. 36) Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful. 37) Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven: 38) Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again. Grace be unto you Lightedsteps |

65 | Jesus time in Hell | 1 Pet 3:18 | lightedsteps | 221533 | ||
Hi Bradk first you say "There is simply nothing in scripture to support the notion that Jesus went to Hell" I concur with your assessment, but where then were the souls of the dead from Adam, to Christ while awaiting judgement, other than (The Bosom of Abraham) (Hell, Hades, Sheol) Was there a holding place of separation for those before Christ, for lack of a better word - (Hell). Then you post 1 Peter 3:19 in which also He went and made proclamation to the spirits now in prison Matt. 27:52, 53, 52) The tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised; 53) and coming out of the tombs after His resurrection they entered the holy city and appeared to many. "It says nothing about Him going to Hell. We don't know exactly where He went". Again I have to concur with you. Where then was this prison, where Jesus made this proclamation to those spirits? The word being used is, (Prison) which infers some place, and some form of punishment, even if it is only separation. Then the tombs which were opened, where were those spirits being held until Christ? Another controversial scripture that goes with 1 Pet. 3:19 Eph. 4:9 Now this expression, "He ascended," what does it mean except that He also had descended into the lower parts of the earth? Peter also speaks in Acts 2:27, in relation to the Psalm of David 16:10,11 Acts 2:27 Because you will not abandon my soul to Hades, nor allow your Holy One to undergo decay. These three places in scripture from Paul, Peter and David, speak of the lower parts of the earth, and His soul in Hades. If the principal we are to follow is, that we interpret the unclear passages of scripture, from those that are clear, where then are the clear passages you speak of? Grace be unto you lightedsteps |

1) When Jesus died for us on the cross, He then went to Hell for us. (Right)? 2) During the time Jesus was in Hell, He preached The Gospel to those there didn't He? 3) Weren't there people that rose from the dead, on Easter Sunday when Jesus was resurrected?

68 | Acting according to the will of God. | Acts | lightedsteps | 221505 | ||
Hi alyzza We naturally assume, Judas was a righteous man, based upon the fact he was one of the 12 disciples of Jesus. This is what Jesus said about Judas. Joh 6:70 Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil? Joh 17:12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled. Judas was created for the purpose which he fulfilled. Do you feel that Hitler should also go to heaven, because he was created to fulfill a persecution of the Jews? Rom 9:14-26 14) What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid. 15) For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion. 16) So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy. 17) For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth. 18) Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth. 19) Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will? 20) Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus? 21) Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour? 22) What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction: 23) And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory, 24) Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles? 25) As he saith also in Osee, I will call them my people, which were not my people; and her beloved, which was not beloved. 26) And it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people; there shall they be called the children of the living God. How can we who have been created, question our creator, our position as Christians, is to thank Him for His Grace toward us who believe. your question is "If Judas et al acted according to the will of God, then why didn't they go to Heaven?" the answer is God does not give, nor does He have to give us a reason for His actions, in a world He has created. But we are to believe He is all loving , and all compassionate, more so than we can ever comprehend. So we then have to take things like this on "FAITH" trusting our Creator, otherwise we would question everything He says to do as though we know better. Job said Job 13:15 Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him. Grace be unto you lightedsteps |

Hi bellschu These verses say "NO" to your question.:-( 2Co 4:3,4 3) But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: 4) In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

Hi again guys Beja, keily I'm not an "Amillennialist" --- "PREmillennialist" --- or even a "POSTmillenialist" I am one that could be called a "PANmillenialist" I fully trust in Gods plan for mankind, and that He hasn't made any mistakes thus far. Therefore I believe everything will PAN-OUT alright.:-) When it is time, Our Father, will make sure, His Children will know what is taking place. Just on a side note, when we read the fulfillment of prophesy, it is a literal fulfillment, ie, Jesus fulfilled prophesy literally, therefor how can we read a prophesy, that has not been fulfilled yet in a spiritual, or allegorical sense?

Hey Guys Beja, keily I Have been enjoying the discussion. Could there be any chance of the possibility that from Matt.25:34...to ...Matt.25:41 there could be the 1,000 yrs. being spoken of? What I mean, there is just an account of two separate events taking place, without any mention of time. The judgement depicted in Matt.25 is clearly one judgement for both the saved, and the unsaved in one event. But these two judgements, could be 1000 years apart, couldn't they? Just a thought. lightedsteps. |

73 | Is looking at porn a sin if ur single? | James 4:17 | lightedsteps | 220894 | ||
Hi Bobtanner31 Porn in any fashion, or media has only one objective, putting you into the position of lust. It causes those that look at it, either in books or film, to get hooked on it, just as much as any drug. The industry producing porn, knows exactly how or what viewers want to see, thereby getting repeat business. To answer your question, yes it is wrong, the Matt.5:28 verse from Brad, is right on. From that scripture it is Adultery, and lust. Because anybody watching, will find it difficult to not return. Porn even for a married couple is still wrong, for all of the same reasons. Lastly, if you have come here asking the question, then you already know it is wrong. Grace be unto you lightedsteps |

74 | What is interpretation of Hebrews 6:4-6 | Heb 6:9 | lightedsteps | 220836 | ||
Dear brother Beja I do not mean to belabor the question, seeing that greater minds than mine have grappled over this issue for centuries. Seeing we are of the same mind, as far as our understanding of the irrevocable nature of our Salvation. Let me if I may, ask one question, in the light of 2 other verses of scripture, that I base my understanding of the Heb. verses in question on. 1.) What was it that separated Adam from God, what has it been since Adam, that has separated mankind from God? When reading the following verses, keep in mind, "It is impossible", for us to fall away, as assuredly as "It would be impossible" for us to be renewed, if we could fall away. My true understanding of the Heb. verses are that both statements are categorically impossible, while true. 1Jn 3:6 No one who abides in Him sins; no one who sins has seen Him or knows Him. 1Jn 3:9 No one who is born of God practices sin, because His seed abides in him; and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

75 | What is interpretation of Hebrews 6:4-6 | Heb 6:9 | lightedsteps | 220828 | ||
Hi Beja Going to my Greek Interlinear Bible I find it says. Heb.6:4-6 4.) For (it is) impossible. (For) impossible the (ones) once being enlightened and tasting of the (2)gift - (1)heavenly and sharers becoming Spirit of (the) Holy 5.) and (2)(the) good (1)tasting (4)of God (3)word and the powerful deeds of a coming age, 6.) and falling away, again to renew to repentance, crucifying again for themselves the Son - of God and putting (him) to open shame. The "IF" in all actuality was more than likely added, because in the translation from Greek into English, there needed to be a connector in order for the English to sound correct to the reader. Even with the "IF" removed, I come to the same conclusion, based on what was written in the 4th. verse. "For (it is) impossible. (For) impossible" Therefore the "IF" isn't needed to understand what Paul was writing, he makes the point in the 4th. verse. He is making a declaration, it does not need to be qualified. He is in essence saying, anyone having accepted this Grace (gift) of God, and everything it entails, cannot detract from, or in any way nullify the sacrificial work of Jesus. Once becoming a child of God, He never disinherits anyone. Because of the shame it would bring upon His name to/in the world. We also should have our confidence in God. Php 1:6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ: Joh 8:36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. 1Co 15:19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.

76 | What is interpretation of Hebrews 6:4-6 | Heb 6:9 | lightedsteps | 220819 | ||
Hi fundamentals I recently made a rather lengthy post to this exact question. Go to the upper right hand corner of this page, and enter the number 219874 in the search box. My personal view on these verses are that we as believers cannot renounce Christ. On the ground these verses say, (first) "it is impossible", for that eventuality to take place, and (second) there is the "IF" which does not mean "When", but that if it were possible for them to fall away. The "IF" mentioned, goes with the "It is impossible", not apart from it. Hoping this has the answers you are seeking. Grace be unto you lightedsteps |

77 | Lucifer's Flood | Rev 12:15 | lightedsteps | 220735 | ||
Hi beenydu These are the only scriptures I could come up with where Satan is mentioned with a flood. Isaiah 59:19 So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the (ENEMY) shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him. Rev 12:15 And the (SERPENT) cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood. Rev 12:16 And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the (DRAGON) cast out of his mouth. This is Lucifer Rev 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

78 | creation | Gen 2:2 | lightedsteps | 220731 | ||
Hi Brad These are just some other thoughts on the matter, yes it does say the evening, and the day, which we take to be 24 hrs. But God spoke things into being, except the Man, and the Woman. Are we then to believe it took our Sovereign God, 6 literal days to speak, when He could speak it all in one breath? Therefore if He chose to take the literal 6 days by the 24 hr. clock, couldn't he as easily have stretched that 24 hrs. to be thousands of yrs. to fulfill His purpose? I'm not in any way trying to defend or speak for this ("Theistic evolution") theory as you call it. I never heard of it before you mentioned it. But do we blindly discount all of the Geological findings? When we know from looking at a volcano, that it takes thousands of yrs. to make an Island like Hawaii, and the others. One thing more, just when does time as we know it, actually begin, upon the creation of the SUN, or upon the creation of the MAN, he is the one that is aware of the passage of time, to me time does not exist without the comprehension of time. In the same way, If a tree falls in the forest, and there is no one there to hear it, is there a sound? NO, because there is the requirement for the person to be present, other wise there is just NOISE, with the person hearing it, it becomes sound, because it is comprehended as a tree falling. Man was created on the sixth day, not day one. Gen 2:4 (KJV) These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens, If we are to take the creation story literally as you believe, a literal seven day period of time, how then do the (Heavens, and Earth) have (Generations)? Gen 2:4 (NASB) This is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made earth and heaven. If we are to take the creation story literally as you believe, a literal seven day period of time, how then are we to understand ("in the day that the LORD God made earth and heaven.") according to the Theory of Literal thinking, then God created everything in (One Day). 2Pe 3:8 (KJV) But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. How do we take this verse literally, if one day is as one thousand years, could this then mean, the (Heavens, and Earth) were created in (Six Thousand Years)? 2 Pet. 3:8 (NASB) But do not let this one fact escape your notice, beloved, that with the Lord one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years like one day. Or are we to understand that the (One Thousand Years) referred to, would mean (No Definite Time) at all, in the same way that Jesus said to Peter. Mat 18:22 Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven. When we take this to mean a literal (Seventy Times Seven) then after four hundred ninety times of turning our cheek we then are allowed to hit back. But we know that Jesus was saying always turn the other cheek no end of taking the hit. Or this which was spoken by Jesus, do we take it literally as well? Mat 5:29 And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell. Seems like we would have a lot of blind Christians walking around. Grace be unto you lightedsteps |
