61 | need information on galatians Chapter 6 | Heb 3:12 | peacebestill | 209143 | ||
Doc, I agree with you one hundred percent about the law making grace of no effect. Question; but in what sense? Question; if a person "wants to give up grace" for legalism do you see that as "losing salvation", or rather as "never had it"? I do not think that is what you are saying here, but am wondering what you see is to be the result of "giving up grace"? Next question; is grace something that can be "nullified truly on the eternal level" after having been saved, or would you see that as the "effects of grace temporarily nullified" after having been saved? I am thinking of the fact that Paul is addressing Christian believers in Galatians who have left off the concept of faith unto salvation by grace for the law unto salvation by works? Believers such as Barnabus and Peter whom we know were saved and remained so? Galatians 5:7 You were running well; who hindered you from obeying the truth? They seemed to have been running well and fell and turned to the law, meaning they were saved for real and then messed up... Question; how does Galatians 3:23 address that "grace gets completely thrown out" for the already saved who messed up by turning to the law? I thought it was referring to the law serving to shut up all to the faith later to be revealed, not belivers who strayed after the faith was taken by them after it was revealed to them. peacebestill |

62 | need information on galatians Chapter 6 | Heb 3:12 | peacebestill | 209195 | ||
Doc Okay having waded through three pages of stuff in your name on ordu salutis I found one single post by you that hits around my set of questions to you; Number 165860 where you discuss the process of sanctification to around which my questions centered? So having also taken the time to read through two of the pages on antinomianism with out finding your name, although I admit I did not dive below the serface to see if you answered anyone, I find that unprincipled principle that some believe a person is saved if their faith is not accompanied by attendant works. Now, having established that I do understand what you mean by this post to me here I would have to say this to you about what you wrote me and about what I meant in my statements to you and was asking about; Seeing as how we know that one does not get saved by any works of one's own and that it is a work of God, of the Holy Spirit of Jesus and the Gospel and is a work of grace and not the keeping of the law - The work of sanctification is of the work of the Holy Spirit, and our good works showing evidence of our faith is the result of the work by the Holy Spirit and not of our own merit. Is it not so? So then, my questions had nothing what ever to do with a person being saved and walking off into the sunset as a continual sinner at all, and them me or anybody claiming THEY'RE SAVED! My questions pretained to a category of true believers who got saved by grace, of whom Peter and Barnabus were prime examples, in Galatia who fell after receiving that grace by dabbling with being law keepers. As well being that Peter and Barnabus were indeed saved and remained saved despite that fall; I was asking you specifically if you felt that "giving up grace" was an eternal result of having left of that grace in practice, or if the result was really "a temporary fall from grace"? I was also asking you in what sense does one "throw grace completely out"? I was also asking you if you think that the "throwing away grace completely" is "losing salvation", or "never had it"? I appreciate your post and pointing out opposite poles by my questions were being asked from the stance that Paul was writing to believers who got saved by grace and that once saved you are always saved... With the added unvoiced thought that the Holy Spirit does the work of regeneration on saved sinners, not us, we are dirty and He takes His time and cleans us up, and so we have the picture in Galatians of sinners who are indeed Christians who He will indeed clean up regardless that they stumbled in faith 101. (?) I am more interested in what you think than what I think, I only hope this time I was more rather clear... Would you lean more toward the Augustinian version of sanctification, or the Reformed version as described here? (Scroll down please in the link.) http://www.sharperiron.org/showthread.php?t equal sign 1207 I am goint with elements of both... Here is the scripture I am standing on; Titus 3:4-7 But when the kindness of God our savior by His love for mankind appeared, He saved us, not on the basis fo deeds which we have done in righteousness, but according to His mercy, by the washing of the regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit, whom He poured out upon us richly through Jesus Christ our savior, so that being justified by His grace we would be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life. So that being justified by His grace we would be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life. Here is the other verse I would stand on in this; 2 Corinthians 3:18 But we all, with unveleiled facce, beholding in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory, to glory, just as from the Lord, the Spirit. peacebestill |

64 | Can someone explain Jude 1:11 | Jude 1:11 | peacebestill | 208580 | ||
rivery14 The way of Cain was to get angry that his offering was not accepted by God and jealous of his brohter whose offering was accepted - he became a murderer and shed innocent blood. The way to Balaam was that he was a prophet of God who did not obey God, but went about doing things his own way. The way of Korah was that the sons of Korah burnt strange inscence to the Lord and were destroyed by God as punishment with fire. This all relates to what Jude is saying about those who rebel against God in Jude verses 5-8; Sodom and Gomorrah and the angels, and also those in vrses 1:4, 8 as those who have crept in the congregation unawares. The point of verse 11 is that they will perish, just as those in the expamples given. Jude 1:13 Wild waves of the sea, casting up thier own shame like foam; wandering stars, for whom the black darkness has been reserved forever. peacebestill |

65 | Are these the same people? | Rev 7:15 | peacebestill | 208315 | ||
Immanueslown It appears from the 7:15 passage that the ones standing before the throne were dead believers in heaven from the Great Tribulation serving God. It seems as if the passage 6:9 is talking about martyrs, but it does not say what time period they are from. It could be that they are all the dead from time immemorial, the OT and the NT saints, plus those in the Great Tribulation, it is just not clear... Perhaps if the Bible is silent, we can't really speculate too far? But look here at this part of it; the end of verse 9 and because of the testimony which they had maintained, and verse 11 where it says that they were told to rest a little while until the rest of their number should be completed - this is as if the dead there are waiting for more of their own kind to come in. And since this is taking place during the tribulation, that goes to that those under the altar are also from the tribulation, making them the same kind, but not necessarily the same exact group as you find in 7:15. peacebestill |

68 | Does this 'star' relate to Wormwood in 8 | Rev 9:1 | peacebestill | 208601 | ||
Thomas8 The Wormwood in 8:8-11 is an actual heavenly body from the universe sent by God to fall to earth and pollute a third of all the waters, as in a metor or something similar. The star in 9:1 is actually Satan himself, see verse 9:11; his Hebrew name is Abaddon, and in Greek Apollyon - these are some less well known names for Satan. Notice that whoever this is in verse 11 has authority over the things that come out of the abyss. Some theologians say these are demonic forces, or actual demons, the locusts and the scorpions and that Satan, as he is the ruler and king over all demons, is the one who is over whatever these things are because of the names Abaddon and Appolyon. peacebestill |

69 | seven thunders | Rev 10:4 | peacebestill | 208395 | ||
John Gmuer I have heard of the seven peals referred to as the vioce of God pealing like thunder from the throne of God. I have heard of the seven peals of thunder referred to as seven even more powerful angels than the one crying out in verse 3 to which they responded. But I think when the Bible doesn't tell us in the scripture right there, or in another scripture about the same we can't know and are only guessing which is not exactly good. peacebestill |

John Gmuer Just curious where in scripture it says that the Holy Spirit raises anyone from the dead??? John 6:39 This the will of Him who sent Me, that of all that He has given Me I lose nothing, but raise it up on the last day. - Jesus raises??? peacebestill |

71 | Coming of the Lord | Rev 10:10 | peacebestill | 208393 | ||
John Gmuer I do not think the two are related, two different trumpet sounding events. I would say that we can't know when the Rapture in 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18 will happen because Revelation does not say when it will happen. Also the whole point of chapter 10 is to illustrate some things; that there was a prophecy revealed to John and the angel, but not to us, that God was going to have the seventh angel sound out the finality of His plans to end the world and institute a new one, and that John was being told to prophesy again concerning the peoples, nations, tongues and kings. peacebestill |
