61 | No Fruit? | John 15:8 | lookinforacity | 205506 | ||
Hi Steve: Could you please clear something up for me? You have been talking about John 15:8 right? How can you expect to get a correct understanding, of that verse without including the verses John 15:1-7 Verses 1-8 are all about the same subject, Vine, Branches, Fruit. In light of what you have decided verse 8 means, (would you please explain) what verses 3,and 7 mean? How do they apply, to the whole of the passage? John 15:1-8 Thank you GOD BLESS Jim |

64 | Retain or forgive sins? | John 20:22 | lookinforacity | 204654 | ||
Hi Tamara: In light of these scriptures, how are they to be interpreted? In relation to your question. These are just food for thought. We cannot dismiss them, as never having been said. Matthew 6:12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. Luke 11:4 And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil. James 5:15 And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him. Matthew 18:21 Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? Matthew 18:22 Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven. Luke 17:4 And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him. Mark 11:25 And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins." Luke 17:3 So watch yourselves. "If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him. Acts 10:43 All the prophets testify about him that everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name." 2 Corinthians 2:10 If you forgive anyone, I also forgive him. And what I have forgiven—if there was anything to forgive—I have forgiven in the sight of Christ for your sake, Love in Christ Jim |

65 | Retain or forgive sins? | John 20:22 | lookinforacity | 204676 | ||
Hi Doc. Mark 4:12 That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them. These are the words of Christ to the Disciples, Jesus was saying to them. I'm hiding the truth in plane sight, because if they could understand, they would believe. Doesn't that contradict the doctrine, (Teaching ) of predestination? Seems like it puts it into the area of choice? God (Jesus) was acting, to hinder them from, an ability, "to move on their own"? In Christ's Love Jim |

66 | Retain or forgive sins? | John 20:22 | lookinforacity | 204690 | ||
Hi John: So what your saying is that God Predestinated, some of the Jews, to accept Jesus as Messiah, at that time, and said to Jesus HIDE IT form everyone else. If there is such a thing as predestinatin of salvation, then he didn't have to hide it from anyone. According to the belief, he would have already predestinated, who would accept Jesus. So the question arises. WHY? Are we to believe that the only ones that accepted HIM, at that time, were the only ones that could accept HIM? If So, then why hide it? I'm not disputing Gods sovereignty, he can do as he pleases. My disput is with man, on the question of Predestination. GOD BLESS JIM |

67 | Help! Unclean vs clean meat? | Acts | lookinforacity | 204930 | ||
HI LRP: Here are 2 more cents for the kitty. You have gotten good sound advice so far, go with it ! This is from a different view point, but they go with what you already have, specifically the words of Jesus. "Everything is Clean." We as human beings, and especially Mothers in law, try sometimes to get closer to GOD by going back, to what we have been set free from, THE LAW. It seems, that we can become more Religious, if we do. WE do but not in a good sence. 1) My wife and I want to follow the laws of GOD, but we are confused. You are under Grace not the Law. 2) Can anyone that has come down this road help us out? Eat anything you want, everything is of GOD and fit for food. 3) I have all the scriptures, but really need guidance. Just show her the Scriptures that refute her argument, then let it go, don't argue the point, she wont keep it up for long, the LAW was given in the first place, to show us that WE cant keep it. She wont either, it would mean a change in her lifestyle. People do it for a short time then revert back to what they know. 4) I will ultimately make the decision for my family but need some help understanding this all. Your doing fine, don't go in the direction of the LAW, it will bind you up. Keep your family free, and in the Grace of GOD. Galatians 2:21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain. Galatians 5:4 Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace. GOD BLESS JIM |

68 | Help! Unclean vs clean meat? | Acts | lookinforacity | 205103 | ||
Hi Steven: Isaiah 66:15-17 As I understand the verse in point, the meat was not clean. The fury of the Lord, was poured out upon them, because the swine's flesh, the abomination, and the mouse were in sacrifice to Idols, BY JEWS. In Christ Jim |

69 | What do you think of Acts 5th chapter | Acts 5:1 | lookinforacity | 204866 | ||
Hi Revdoc01: Short and sweet. They owned a piece of land, They did not have to sell it, When they sold it, they could have kept (All) of the money. They could have given a part of it, it did not matter. They gave PART, and told Peter they had given all. They wanted the Praise of man. The land was in their power to do with it as they wanted. After the sale, the money was in their power. In lying to Peter they were in essance Lying to the GOD Verse 4 GOD BLESS JIM |

70 | what approach did paul take | Acts 17:18 | lookinforacity | 205276 | ||
Hi Beanna: You go right ahead and ask your question as many times as you want. WE ALL understand that you only came to the FORUM today. Now on to your question. the way you asked it, I can only say. Paul took the approach you have posted in Verses 18-34 He apparently doesnt use any other approach, because it isnt recorded. There was a Church established in ATHENS, so I assume his efforts were successful. That is the only way I can answer your question. Hope it is enough. GOD BLESS Jim |

71 | Jewish Holy Days | Romans | lookinforacity | 204797 | ||
Why do we as Christians, NOT observe the Jewish Holy days, as set forth in the Bible? Being a part of OUR History, would not the observance of them, be beneficial to us as Christians? Ephesians 2:11-22, We are fellow citizens, and of the household of GOD, as one new man, with the Jews. Shouldn't we identify more closely, with the Jews? Whenever, however we can? NOT out of Legalism, or by LAW. But out of love for the Jewish people, by observing the Holy Days. How do we as Christians, demonstrate the Love we are told to have for the Jews? |

72 | An interesting discussion/question | Romans | lookinforacity | 204934 | ||
HI CHILDOFGOD: I think this might be the one your looking for. Romans 2:14 For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves: The verse above covers anyone that is in the position of not having ever, or will never hear the word of FAITH. Tribes in the Jungles of the Amazon, and the like. They may be Pagans to us, but God will judge their heart. Now to go on to the area of, the unborn, babies, children. this following information isn't in the Bible it's in LAW . COVENANT A covenant, in its most general signification, means any kind of promise or contract, a covenant is an agreement between two or more persons, entered into in writing and under seal, whereby either party stipulates for the truth of certain facts, or promises to perform or give something to the other, or to abstain from the performance of certain things. - 1st. The parties must be such as by law can enter into a contract. If either for want of understanding, as in the case of an idiot or lunatic; or in the case of an infant, in every case, the parties are not competent, they cannot bind themselves. - 2d. There must be an agreement. The assent or consent must be mutual for the agreement would be incomplete if either party withheld his assent to any of its terms. The assent of the parties to a contract necessarily supposes a free, fair, serious exercise of the reasoning faculty. We have the OLD Covenant, and the NEW Covenant, but God doesn't hold babies, and children any more responsible than MAN does. To make it short, as you can see, even in MANS LAW, we don't hold some of our citizens responsible. Hope this answers both sides of the question. In Christ JIM |

73 | What was the Question ! ! | Romans | lookinforacity | 204997 | ||
HI Jamison: I looked back at all of the threads in this conversation, can you tell me. "What was the original question", has it been answered? CHILD called it an interesting discussion/question. Your belief in soul sleep, or the questions on Mormonism, don't seem to fit the context of that question. But for some strange reason, it is more important for people, to make sure you are corrected on your personal belief, than for them to answer a legitimate QUESTION to this forum. In Christ JIM |

74 | An interesting discussion/question | Romans | lookinforacity | 205009 | ||
Hi John: This is the question, incase you missed it. There have been only 2 answers given to it. Tamara's, and mine. You apparently think what Tamara posted was correct. While I on the other hand cant understand how this answer, answers the question posted by (ChildofGod) Please explain it to me. During the discussion, he asked me a question about those who have never heard the Gospel. I remember that during my personal study, I read about Gods will and plan for those people (who i suppose could also include young children and those unborn). Could anyone please help me locate this passage? Have a God Blessed Day Jim |

78 | Baptized into his death | Rom 6:3 | lookinforacity | 204031 | ||
Hi Pattii; When we are baptised,we are putting on Christ. In baptism, we are identifying with His Death, and then when we come up out of the water, we are Identifying with His Resurrection. We are then Born Again, in Newness of life, we are new creatures in Christ. 2 Cor 5:17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come. Rom 6:4 Therefore we have been buried with Him through baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life. Col 2:12 having been buried with Him in baptism, in which you were also raised up with Him through faith in the working of God, who raised Him from the dead. 1 Pet 3:21 Corresponding to that, baptism now saves you--not the removal of dirt from the flesh, but an appeal to God for a good conscience--through the resurrection of Jesus Christ. I hope that answers it for you. Have a happy!! |

79 | Clarification? | Rom 6:3 | lookinforacity | 204086 | ||
Hi Tim: Here is the answer for your clarification. (NO) I do not believe we need to be baptized to be saved, my personal belief is, Ephesians 2:8 For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; The verse I believe you are referring to is 1 Pet 3:21. I have looked it up in the Amplified Bible. this translation gives a clearer wording of the verse. Hope this will clear things up for you. 21And baptism, which is a figure [of their deliverance], does now also save you [from inward questionings and fears], not by the removing of outward body filth [bathing], but by [providing you with] the answer of a good and clear conscience (inward cleanness and peace) before God [because you are demonstrating what you believe to be yours] through the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Have a Happy ! ! |

80 | Baptized into his death | Rom 6:3 | lookinforacity | 204087 | ||
Hi BradK Here is the answer (NO) I did not imply any such thing. I do not believe we need to be baptized to be saved, my personal belief is, Ephesians 2:8 For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; I would suggest that if you have a problem with what PETER has written where it sounds like he has contradicted himself, then you should do the foot work to settle the question for yourself. As far as I am concerned, the Bible DOES NOT Contradict itself at all, even IF we think it does, when we come to a point of contradiction, misunderstanding, or just plain old I don't know what it is saying, then God is saying to YOU, (STUDY !) The verse I believe you are referring to is 1 Pet 3:21. I have looked it up in the Amplified Bible. this translation gives a clearer wording of the verse. Hope this will clear things up for you. 21And baptism, which is a figure [of their deliverance], does now also save you [from inward questionings and fears], not by the removing of outward body filth [bathing], but by [providing you with] the answer of a good and clear conscience (inward cleanness and peace) before God [because you are demonstrating what you believe to be yours] through the resurrection of Jesus Christ. So as we now see we can use this verse, in support of water baptism, I for one, will make sure I use the Amplified Version, when doing so from now on. Have we all besides Pattii learned something out of all of this? Have a Happy ! ! |
