61 | What are the essentials | NT general Archive 1 | tgc | 124152 | ||
In doing my study on the unity of the church I have found that there are differing opions on the essentials of the Christan faith. I would greatly like to hear from as many of you as possible on this subject. What are the essentials of the Christan Faith? In The Love Of Christ, tgc | ||||||

Mommapbs, I certainly agree that the reciteing of the creeds is a beautiful ceramony and the information in the creeds is taught it is very revealing and helpful in bible study but I think that if we are going to repeat creeds as part of the wqorship service it should be only on occasion amd should never take the place of straight up Bible teaching. XRing please go back and read how this thread staeted Hank responded to a question I ask about Church Unity however I do agree with your statement that reciteing the creeds should not take the place of bible study in the church. Finally Hank thanks for your help again you have got me started when I was at a sticking point. God Bless You All In The Love Of Christ, tgc |

63 | Marks gospel so different from Matthew | NT general Archive 1 | tgc | 124759 | ||
LSmith, The answer to your question can be found in looking at who the authors were writting to. Matthew was writting to a mainly jewish audience and Mark to a gentile audience primarily Romans. Matthew writes in away that his intended audience will grasp by quoting heavily from the OT to prove that Jesus is the Messiah while Mark writes in a way to capture the interest of the Roman audiance he is writting to focusing on action based events because this is what his audience would relate to. You can find indepth coverage of this subject in the introduction to each book in Nelson's Complete Study System Bible product number 2885 as well as severel books that have been writting on the harmony of the Gospels. Hope thi helps. In The Love Of Christ, tgc | ||||||

Emmaus and Angel, I thank you both for your excellent replys. You have confirmed for me what my own study has led me to belive. Yes I belivethis teaching could be very dangerous as it changes both the very Nature of God The Father and Jesus Christ God The Son. Again thank you for taking the time to help me with this. Would it be ok for me to use the information in your respective post to formulate an answer to this question in writting. In THe Love OF Christ, tgc | ||||||

FytRobert, CDBJ has been most through in his post to you. He has been very straight forward and clear answering each query posed to him. You would do well to study in-depth what has been offered as well as having the good manners to answer the 2 questions posted to you. With that said I will offer an answer to your question. First let look to Hebrews 10:24-26 from the NKJV. 24 And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, 25 not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as [is] the manner of some, but exhorting [one another,] and so much the more as you see the Day approaching. In these two verses the writer gives us a command from God not to try to go it alone but to assemble together so as to stir up love between one another also for the exhorting of one another or the building up of each other. The next place we need to go is 1 Cor.12:7-15 7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit [of all:] 8 for to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, 9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit, 10 to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another [different] kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. 11 But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills. 12 For as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also [is] Christ. 13 For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body -- whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free -- and have all been made to drink into one Spirit. 14 For in fact the body is not one member but many. Paul goes in to along discussion about the gifts of the Holy Spirit to each believer and the reason for the gifts that is to build up the Church the gifts are to be used together so that the whole body can function. IN this line of thought you need the church and the church needs you because if you are a born again child of the King you have gifts that the body needs to carry out its work. The next text I would like to direct you to is 1 Tim. 3:1-13 from the NKJV (NKJV) 1 Timothy 3:1 This [is] a faithful saying: If a man desires the position of a bishop, he desires a good work. 2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, temperate, sober-minded, of good behavior, hospitable, able to teach; 3 not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for money, but gentle, not quarrelsome, not covetous; 4 one who rules his own house well, having [his] children in submission with all reverence 5 (for if a man does not know how to rule his own house, how will he take care of the church of God?); 6 not a novice, lest being puffed up with pride he fall into the [same] condemnation as the devil. 7 Moreover he must have a good testimony among those who are outside, lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil. 8 Likewise deacons [must be] reverent, not double-tongued, not given to much wine, not greedy for money, 9 holding the mystery of the faith with a pure conscience. 10 But let these also first be tested; then let them serve as deacons, being [found] blameless. 11 Likewise [their] wives [must be] reverent, not slanderers, temperate, faithful in all things. 12 Let deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling [their] children and their own houses well. 13 For those who have served well as deacons obtain for themselves a good standing and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus. In this passage we see the leadership of the church being established for when God gives a command He tells us how to carry it out and this verse lays out the leadership of the church the passage from 1 Cor. the reason for the believers to meet together for the carrying out of God plan for the Church. The Hebrews passages just for clarification. Another place we could go with this is Titus starting in chapter 1:5 and reading through 2:10 I will not post that here as it just further backs up the 1 Timothy passage. So yes I one is to follow the Bible he or she should be regularly meeting together with other believers for worship, teaching , fellowship, among other activities. As a born again child of the King I find it hard for a person who has really submitted themselves to the Lordship of Jesus not to want to meet with other believers. Please look to The Word of God for your answers and you will find God never created us to be lone rangers but to operate as family in service to out Heavenly Father from who all blessings come. In The Love Of Christ, tgc |

FytRobert, First let me address a comment you made "in my post 127532 I was seeking reasons for Chrisrans to attend Sunday Services and not reasons for Christans NOT To attend Sunday Services" I really thought I had given you the most urgent reason to attend and that is being under the Lordship of Jesus Christ. Next lets talk about the two questions. One does not have to be a Bible scholar in order to answer these two questions. Let me repharse them for you. 1. Are you saved and do you have any assurance in your salvation ? 2.If God ask you why He should let you into Heaven what would your answer be? Now to what I meant by having the good manners to answer the questions ask of you. Many times when tring to answer a question for another person one needs a little more information to be able to properly respond to the question. This is especially true in a forum such as this where none of real knows any of the others. So when someone is tring to help you and tring to figure out the best way to go about it and they simply ask for a little more info. with which to better sever you then it is only poliet ot answer that question as best as you can. Belive me there was no offense meant in the comment at all. In The Love Of Christ, tgc |

FytRobert, You do not seem to be getting the questions as they have been put to you so yes I will go into length to guide you toward an aswer but ultimately you are the only one who can give the answer. 1.Are you saved and do you have assurance of your salvation? We will now look to the scriptures to see what it is to be saved. Romans 3:23 from the NKJV 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, Lets break this verse down. Who has sinned. Every person who has ever lived except Jesus. This includes both you and I. So since we have and continue to sin we fall short of God's standard of perfection or another way to say this is we are not Jesus. So get that point settled we are sinners and seperated from God because of that sin. Next lets look at Romans 6:23 again from the NJKV 23 For the wages of sin [is] death, but the gift of God [is] eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Lets break this verse down. First we have already established we are all sinners this point should be far past the point of arguement. With that said what does sin get us DEATH. What is death well I would propose there are 2 kinds physical and spiritual. Sin is the reason for both kinds. Lets look at each. First physical death or seperation from the living and the ceasation of bodily functions. What is spiritual death it is seperation from God eternal seperation from God or in other words HELL. So now we know the cost of sin to us but what was the cost of sin to God? It cost Him His only begooten Son on the Cross who willingly paid the price for each of our indivual sins so that we do not have to experience spiritual death but through what Jesus's has done for us we can have eternal life with God. Death is seperation and Life is union. Life comes through us coming to Christ and accepting Him as our personal LORDAND SAVIOR. Next lets look at Romans 10:9-10 NKJV 9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. How does one except Christ as ones personal Lord and Savior? First you confess to HIm that you are a sinner and He is your only Hope there is nothing you can do on your own the only Hope you have of having a right relationship with God is Jesus. Next is to belive God He has given us the ressurection of Jesus as proof of the message Jesus brought and as evidence that He God is satisfied with the price that was pais to redeem us. So when we confess to Christ our sins and repent or make a u-turn on the road of life giving up our will to HIs will we belive God and have the assurance of our salvation in Jesus Christ. Next you might ask what it means to belive with your heart. I would propose that the heart of man has four parts and those four parts are what God was refering to in Gen. when He said let Us make man in Our own image, these four parts are the emotions, the intellect, the ablity to choose or freewill, and the soul. Only man has all four of these attributes which are also found in God. Through the intellect one can hear the gospel and read the scriptures, through the emotions we can feel the conviction of the Holy Spirit in our heart, through the ability to choose we can decide what to do with the conviction we feel from the Holy Spirit, the soul is the never ending part of man that continues on after this body is dead. Next lets look at a promise that God gives us. Romans 10:13 NKJV 13 For "whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved." Here we have God's promise that if we call on Jesus as stated above we will be saved. So to the first question my answer is yes I am saved and have God's own assurance of my salvation because my salvation is based in Christ and nothing less and I would have no other way. The answer to the second question What would one say to God if one was standing at the gates to Heaven and He ask why should I let you in? The only answer that will ever suffice is Jesus. You see why noone can answer thses questions for you because you either are or your not saved and only you and God know ths answer to that. If not please pay attention the what I have written above and give it serious thought so that you may settle these questions for yourself. In The Love Of Christ,tgc |

71 | Explanation of Genesis 6:1-6 | Genesis | tgc | 127570 | ||
I have been pondering on this question for some time. So I thought I would seek the wisdom of many of you on the forum. In Gen. 6:1-6 NKJV) Genesis 6:1 Now it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born to them, 2 that the sons of God saw the daughters of men, that they [were] beautiful; and they took wives for themselves of all whom they chose. 3 And the LORD said, "My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, for he [is] indeed flesh; yet his days shall be one hundred and twenty years." 4 There were giants on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men and they bore [children] to them. Those [were] the mighty men who [were] of old, men of renown. 5 Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of man [was] great in the earth, and [that] every intent of the thoughts of his heart [was] only evil continually. 6 And the LORD was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart. Here is the question it seems from what I can learn the classical reading of this is that "the sons of God" refered to in this passage are falling angels and that these fallen angels had relations with human women that bore children from these relationships. Here is my problem first of all Jesus Himself said angels are sexless beings in Matthew 22:29-30. Another problem I have with this is if in fact fallen angels and human women had children where would they fall in the plan of redemption. Would this not be a new ontological creation? Any help with this will be recieved thankfully. In The Love Of Christ, tgc |

72 | Explanation of Genesis 6:1-6 | Genesis | tgc | 127896 | ||
Steve I post this under your note hoping Mark will also pick up on it. Scratch your heads with on this please. All the way through scripture when we find the Bible speaking of the fallen angels or demons the term spirit is used in regards to them an example of such passages would be Lev.19:31, Lev.20:6, Deut.18:11, Mk. 3:11, Lk.4:36. So what is my point with this just follow me for a moment. If we look at Hebrews 1:7 It tells us that God's Angels are ministering Spirits. I also can not find one clearly documented case in the Bible of a demon or fallen angel taking on human form possessing an unsaved person yes but not taking on human form of it's own will. So if angels are spirit and fallen angels must be spirits how can they take on human form when in Luke 24:38 Christ offers this statement as proof of His resurrection" And He said to them, "Why are you troubled? And why do you doubt arise in your heart? Behold My hands and My feet that it is I Myself. Handle Me and see, for a spirit does not have flesh and blood as you see I have." So Christ offers as proof of His resurrection the fact that He has flesh and blood and spirits do not. So it would seem to me that if we argue that spirits can make babies with women then are we arguing against the very evidence that Christ offered for His ressurection? All of this said I know ther are Bilical accounts of Angels of God appearing in human form and the only way I can think to reconcille this is the fact that God as Creator and The All Powerful One can grant this to His angels when it is within His plan however Satan not being all powerful and not having the power of creation can not offer this to his fallen angels. Any thoughts please? |

74 | god create evil | Gen 1:31 | tgc | 127260 | ||
Did God create evil ? No , what God created was choice. The choice to obey and honor God or to disobey and dishonor God. In other words the choice to love God or not to love God. For the ultimate definition of evil is disobedience to God. I will now attempt to show this through a look a scripture. First let’s look at Genesis chapter 2 : 8-9 form the NKJV 8 The LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden, and there He put the man whom He had formed. 9 And out of the ground the LORD God made every tree grow that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. The tree of life [was] also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Here we see God plant or create the Garden and place in the Garden the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. So I think it is plain that God here did not create evil although He did create the potential for evil. Next lets look at Gen 2: 15-17 NKJV 15 Then the LORD God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to tend and keep it. 16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, "Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; 17 "but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die." Now God has put man in the Garden with all that He has created , but still He has not created evil however there is the potential for evil. God has given man everything he could ever want except for a mate which man gets in the next verse. It is also clear that God has given man a choice as to good and evil . one can see this in the command God gives. Which is basically obey and live in peace and harmony forever or disobey and suffer and die. So yes God created the potential for evil by giving us this choice. Next lets look to Genesis chapter 3 1-7 NKJV) Genesis 3:1 Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said to the woman, "Has God indeed said, 'You shall not eat of every tree of the garden'?" 2 And the woman said to the serpent, "We may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden; 3 "but of the fruit of the tree which [is] in the midst of the garden, God has said, 'You shall not eat it, nor shall you touch it, lest you die.' " 4 Then the serpent said to the woman, "You will not surely die. 5 "For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil." 6 So when the woman saw that the tree [was] good for food, that it [was] pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make [one] wise, she took of its fruit and ate. She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate. 7 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they [were] naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves coverings Here man actualizes evil by using their ability to choose to obey or disobey. When man choose to disobey God evil actually came into being. God did not create evil man did by choosing to go against the Word of God. There is a major difference between creating a potential for something in this case evil and actually causing it to come into being. For more information on this subject may I suggest Hank Hanegraaff’s newest book The Bible Answer Book which deals with this subject in some depth. In The Love Of Christ, Tom tgc |

75 | How do you address? | Gen 1:31 | tgc | 127294 | ||
After a careful reading of Isaiah 45 the entire chapter I think a case can be made that you are pulling this one verse out of it's intended context. All of the chapter deals with a charge to Cyrus. Within the context of the entire passage I belive that an agrument can be made the pharse I...created evil refers to physical evil or calamity rather than moral evil. It is also interesting to note that out of the five translations I have open in front of me only the KJV translates this verse to read "I form the light and create darkness: I make peace and create evil : I the Lord do all these things." The NKJV translates the same verse as follows. "I form the light and create darkness, I make peace and create calmity; I, the Lord do all these things." The NIV gives this rendering, " I form the light and create darkness, I bring prosperity and create disaster; I, the Lord do all these things." The NLT reads, "I am the one who creates the light and makes the darkness. I,am the one who sends good times and bad times. I, the Lord am the one who does these things." Finally the NASB puts it this way, "Ths One forming light and creating darkness, Causing well-being and createing calamity; I am the Lord who does all these things." Considering that four out of five text translate the word calamity rather than evil I think this is a very weak passage to build a theological therory on. Futher I belive I have shown that the explanation offered is a viaible explanation, and that it is a real reach to say that this verse proves God created evil. As I attempted to show in my previous post God did create the potential for evil but man actualized it. This is to say that ultimately man is responsible for the evil in this world not God. With all that said let us look at another point. Does God sometimes create or use situations we would consider terrible or as a calamity yes He does. The Bible is full of examples of this. The passage you quote from is one of those examples others would be, the ten plagues on Egypt, the blind man that Jesus heals, or even sending Joseph to Egypt and putting him in the kings court to savce his family from the famine. These are just a few examples that pop to mind, but from none of these can we draw the conclusion that God created evil because each one of these situations can be traced back to orginal cause of all of man's problems that is the fall when sin entered this world through our choice to disobey God. So in short I would answer your question by saying always consider a verse by the context it is set in and always let scripture interpit scripture. I am sorry if I come off gruff that is not my intention at all. I am actually enjoying following this thread it is forcing me to look deep into scripture and be able to back up what I belive with scripture. In The Love Of Christ, tgc |

76 | How do you address? | Gen 1:31 | tgc | 127295 | ||
Sultis, You are always asking for others to address the verses you bring out and that is good but now that I have addressed the specific verse that you ask of me I would ask that you address the first post that I offered and tell all of us how you would deal with those passages pleaseFor if we are going to discuss creation or events that took place around the time of creation that is where we must start. In The Love Of Christ, tgc | ||||||
77 | Can you add something more to this? | Gen 1:31 | tgc | 127353 | ||
Stultis, I will try to add understanding here if I can. However let me say up frony thank you for your graceful reply this is how disscussion should be carried on. Point then counter point always being able to disagree agreeablely. Let us start with the point we agree on, That man actualized evil in the Garden when man choose to disobey God. It is my understanding that this is thepoint when evil actually came into being on this earth. Upto this time there was the potential for evil but not actual evil. So who disobeyed? God ? Of course not God can not disobey God, Man disobeyed. Man choose to rebel against God and His perfect plan. This as I understand it is how evil came to exist on this earthy. Man fell to the temtation of Satan and choose to serve him rather than God. So as I have said before God did create the potential for evil, but He did not actualize that potential man did. To create the potential for something or to actual bring that thing into being are two totally different things. To adress another point you made that there is no where in the Bible that says God did not create evil but many passages that would seem to point out that He did let me offer a couple of passages for thought. First look at Gen. 6:5-6 " Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great on the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. The Lord was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart." Because of the evil of man God was grieved to the point of destroying the world with a flood. Because of the evil of man God had to make away for fellowship between us and Him to be restored. Because of the evil of man the Cross became neccessary to restore that fellowship and relationship. Just think on hese points as we go on. Next lets go to the book of James chapter 1 verses 12-18 " Blessed is a man who perservers under trial; for once he has been approved, he will recieve the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him. 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. But each one is tempted when he is carried away and enticed by his own lust. Then when lust has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and when sin is accomplished, it brings forth death. Do not be decieved, my beloved brothen Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no vaiation or shifting shadow. In the excerise of His will He brought us forth by the word of truth, so that we would be a kind of first fruits amond His creation." I belive James is quite clear that there is no evil that comes from God. That evil comes from the heart of man the place it was originally brought forth from. Now if you will take a look at Matthew 15: 10-20 from the NKJV. 10 When He had called the multitude to [Himself,] He said to them, "Hear and understand: 11 "Not what goes into the mouth defiles a man; but what comes out of the mouth, this defiles a man." 12 Then His disciples came and said to Him, "Do You know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this saying?" 13 But He answered and said, "Every plant which My heavenly Father has not planted will be uprooted. 14 "Let them alone. They are blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind leads the blind, both will fall into a ditch." 15 Then Peter answered and said to Him, "Explain this parable to us." 16 So Jesus said, "Are you also still without understanding? 17 "Do you not yet understand that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and is eliminated? 18 "But those things which proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and they defile a man. 19 "For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies. 20 "These are [the things] which defile a man, but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile a man." You may ask what is my point with this passage, it is simply this. That even from Christ's own mouth He says that evil comes from the heart of man the same place it originated in the Garden. In the Garden Satan temted Eve with the sight of the fruit and the ability to be like God. Was that a sin no the sin occured when Eve had an inward reaction to an outside temtation. She and in turn Adam choose to disobey God thus actualizeing evil or sin in this world. Yes God gave us the ability to choose but we made and make the choice. If you would be so kind as to send a list of the passages you mentioned as proof text for God's creation of evil I would love to go through them and study this out some more. In The Love Of Christ, tgc |

78 | Verse about being sentient | Gen 2:8 | tgc | 121500 | ||
greetings Raistlin, I hope I understand your question correctly. I think we can start answering your question in Gen.2:8 " The tree oflife was also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil." By putting the tree in the garden God gave3 man a choice to obey or to disobey Him. Another example is the discourse between Jesus and the rich young ruler in Mat.16-22 Where in the end the ruler has to make a choice between his riches and Christ. Another place we can see this principle is Romans 10:13 "Whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved." Ifyou have the option to call on the name of the Lord then you oviously have the option not to call on His name. Hope this helps. tgc |
