661 | Does God love everything? | 1 John 4:8 | flinkywood | 97305 | ||
Hank, this is good. I used your point in my reply to Makarios below. Colin |

662 | Does God love everything? | 1 John 4:8 | flinkywood | 97304 | ||
Makarios, this is very well expressed regarding satan and his lovelessness. Because God is love, God loves though that love is unrequited. And because the heart of God's law is love, then this love also condemns. (Hank's point, I believe). Colin |

663 | Does God love everything? | 1 John 4:8 | flinkywood | 97284 | ||
Makarios, So "condemned" implies the absence of God's love and that His love has been subtracted from satan. I understand that. Colin |

664 | Does God love everything? | 1 John 4:8 | flinkywood | 97283 | ||
Makarios, thanks for your scripture-packed answer. Rom 5:8 "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." And yet there remains a scriptural grey area, Psa 5:5 "The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity." Does God love even the worker of iniquity in the thick of his sins? The obvious answer is Paul, nee Saul, self-confessed murderer of men, women and children, and his testimony. So my view is yours, that God knows we are dust (Psa 103:14 "For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust."), and that He is "...longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." 2 Peter 3.9. The overwhelming weight of scripture points towards God's incomprehensible, self-sacrificial love of sinners and His desire that we repent and believe in His Son. I still wonder whether He can possibly love Satan. Colin. |

665 | Does God love everything? | 1 John 4:8 | flinkywood | 97278 | ||
Makarios, you wrote, "God does not love satan any more than He hates sin." Is this true of unbelievers as well? Did God not love me more than He hated my sin? Or is satan a special case? Colin |

666 | Jesus name of the Father, Son and H/Ghos | Bible general Archive 2 | flinkywood | 97185 | ||
Makarios, this is a terrific post. 1 Cor 1:14-27 especially puts the kibosh on this pointless argument. Colin |

667 | Eph 1:3-14 is this a complete sentence? | Eph 1:1 | flinkywood | 97173 | ||
Trumpet, Good question. I found an answer in the NIV study bible coomentary. Verses 3-14 are "All on sentence in Greek, this section is often called a "doxology" because it recites what God has done and is an expression of worship to honor Him. Pauls speaks first of the blessings we have through the Father (v. 3), then of those that come through the Son (vv.4-13a) and finally of those through the Holy Spirit (1:13b-14)" I didn't know that. Colin. |

668 | the angels that sinned | 2 Pet 2:4 | flinkywood | 97141 | ||
Truthfinder, You say, "I feel I totally understand why you and many like you do believe that Jesus is Almighty God Jehovah." After 40 years of "through and through" research, you maintain that Jesus was created and is not co-eternal with God. I cannot understand your conclusion, so how do you "totally" understand ours? Since you understand so well, would you please answer this question: 1) Why is it that we believe Jesus, our Lord and Savior, is God incarnate and is co-eternal with the Father and the Holy Spirit? Colin |

669 | why are some Christians ok with swearing | Rom 12:14 | flinkywood | 97075 | ||
Makarios, thanks for the reference. I asked because I'm studying Islam. The god of the Koran swears by the sun and moon, not by himself as our Lord, the true God, does. For me this is the deepest condemnation of that particular slave system and a good speaking point in witnessing to Muslims. Colin. |

670 | why are some Christians ok with swearing | Rom 12:14 | flinkywood | 97028 | ||
Makarios, Jesus didn't use profanity. By the way, in what verse does God swear by Himself or is He said to have sworn by Himself? I can't recall. Colin. |

10-4, Gene. I remember how humble Jesus was under fire. Here's one of my favorite scriptures, though I can hardly understand it: Heb 5:8 "Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered;" He was God, yet He washed the discples' feet. Amazing, isn't it? Colin. |

Truthfinder, on the subject of worship, in your theology, is it possible for Abraham to have made a greater sacrifice than God? Colin |

Hank, "Paul, called to be an apsotle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother, unto the church of God which is at (studybibleforum.com)...I I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind, and in the same judgment. For it hath been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by them which are of the house of (certain, unspecified, Forum user ID's), that there are contentions among you. Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ. Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul? I thank God that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and Gaius; Lest any should say that I had baptized in mine own name. And I baptized also the household of Stephanas: besides, I know not whether I baptized any other. For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect. For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men. For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to naught things that are: That no flesh should glory in his presence. But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord", not in some cruddy credo contest... (1Co 1:1-31, redacted) Just a follow-up to your spot-on note. Colin. |
