81 | Speak from the midst of the fire to you? | Acts 9:4 | New Creature | 142197 | ||
Hey listen. I'm not gonna get into a big quarrel about this with anyone. I personally believe that God still speaks to us. He spoke to me, and He has spoken to others. How do you think a person hears a calling upon His life to go into the Ministry. if God doesn't speak to people. How do you think that those God calls to far away mission fields know that they are called by God to become servants in the mission field unless they spend time alone with God in prayer, in communion, and in His word with Him in private. How shall they preaach unless they are sent? (Rom. 10:15) Do you think those God calls into a Ministry postion, enter the Ministry on a mere whim or fancyful thought? His Spirit even bears witness with my spirit that I am His. (Rom. 8:16) |

84 | Where does it say that? | Mark | New Creature | 141547 | ||
greetings kalos: I think the idea foe the thought "'God cannot look upon sin" may possibly come from the following verse of the OT Hab. 1:13 Thou art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on iniquity: wherefore lookest thou upon them that deal treacherously, and holdest thy tongue when the wicked devoureth the man that is more righteous than he?

85 | Why God allows such tragedy | Bible general Archive 2 | New Creature | 140859 | ||
We might also ask why God brought the flood upon the world during the time of Noah, in which all perished with the exception of 8 individuals, It was due to the wickedness upon the earth that the Lord cleansed it with the waters of the Flood. Maybe we should ask ourselves the following question Has the wickedness upon the earth once again reached such a level of wickedness where God possibly needs to cleanse it. We know from Scripture that in the days of Noah He cleansed the earth with the waters of the flood. We also know from Scripture that the next time that the earth will be totally cleansed, it will be cleansed with fire. I do know God is Sovereign. And I trust that He knows what is best.

86 | What was Noah's wife's name? | Gen 7:7 | New Creature | 140710 | ||
The extra-Biblical book of Jasher says this: and Noah went and took a wife, and he chose Naamah the daughter of Enoch, and she was five hundred and eighty years old. And Noah was four hundred and ninety-eight old when he took Naamah for a wife. (Jasher 5:15-16) I advise caution however on accepting anyting from extra-Biblical materials as being absolute truth, even though it may possibly be true. We can't say for sure whether or not this was her name. Blessings New Creature |

87 | Is Gambling Wrong? | Bible general Archive 2 | New Creature | 140707 | ||
There is no "Eleventh Commandment" in the Bible saying "Thou shalt not gamble." However, gambling violates at least five doctrines of Scripture: the sovereignty of God, stewardship, covetousness, brotherly love, and God’s instruction not to be brought under the power of anything.

88 | Did Shem exit the Ark at 98, outlv Abrm? | Gen 11:10 | New Creature | 140588 | ||
I find this very important and much overlooked From what can be learned from Bibical chronology, one can find that Shem, the son of Noah lived 600 years. The first 100 years of his life were spent before the flood, and then Shem continued living 500 years after the flood had passed. Also by following Bibical years, I find that Shem outlived Abraham, and Shem was alive even in Isaac and Jacob's days. What makes this so intresting, is the fact that Shem was one of only 8 people that witnessed the ark being built,the ungodliness of the human race before the flood, the taking of all the animals aboard the ark two by two, the rains descending until everyone that was not aboard the ark perished from the face of the earth. It must have been truly amazing to people like Abraham, and others to hear directly from Shem, the account of how the ark was built, about how all those species of animals and their food was taken aboard the ark. And to hear Shem speak about the cries of the ungodly people who drowned in the flood. And then, how after the flood, they began to repopulate the earth. Wouldn't it have been wonderful, if we would be able to read a more detailed account of what happened before, during and after the flood from people like Abraham and others who probably heard about it first hand from Shem himself. Maybe the reason why God had Shem, the Antediluvial patriarch continue to live 500 years even after the flood had passed. was so the post-flood people could learn in detail about the flood directly from only one of 8 survivors of the flood.

89 | Salvation/not knowing the msg. of Christ | Bible general Archive 2 | New Creature | 139129 | ||
Rom. 1:19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them That which may be known of God - Dr. Taylor paraphrases this and the following verse thus: “Although the Gentiles had no written revelation, yet what may be known of God is every where manifest among them, God having made a clear discovery of himself to them. For his being and perfections, invisible to our bodily eyes, have been, ever since the creation of the world, evidently to be seen, if attentively considered, in the visible beauty, order, and operations observable in the constitution and parts of the universe; especially his eternal power and universal dominion and providence: so that they cannot plead ignorance in excuse of their idolatry and wickedness.” (Adam Clarke Commentary on Rom. 1:19) Rom. 1:20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: |

90 | What is unpardonable sin? | Mark 3:22 | New Creature | 138590 | ||
Below is a portion of an interesting article I came across a while back. I don't remember the source. But read it and and tell me what you think. "Now suppose that I see the light from the lamp of God's Word, but refuse to obey it. Let's say that the Holy Spirit has convicted me, and I understand perfectly what He requires of me, but it is unpopular and inconvenient. What happens if I disregard the light and reject the truth which the Spirit has revealed - for any reason whatsoever? The Spirit continues to speak, of course, and for a time there is a battle in my conscience. I feel miserable and guilty. Days pass by, and even months, while I keep on violating my conviction of what is right. Gradually, the conscience begins to adjust to what is being done in the physical body. Slowly the guilt feelings begin to subside and the acts of disobedience appear less and less objectionable. Finally, the truth which seemed so clear and uncomplicated in the beginning turns into a muddle of uncertainty. Rationalizations spring forth to justify disobedience, and the early convictions of sin fade away. Life is almost as comfortable as it was before the light came. What has happened? We have sinned against the Holy Spirit and are sinking into the state of the unpardonable sin. You see, this deadly sin is not any particular act which can be isolated and labeled. It can be any sin which is cherished in the face of light and knowledge. It actually is a condition of seared sensitivity brought on by persistent disobedience to recognized truth. The reaction is similar to ignoring an alarm clock. The conscience becomes more and more tolerant of the pricking reminder of transgression until, finally, it no longer even recognizes the unwelcome sting of conviction. Like the clock it runs down, too, and just as well, because no one is listening any longer. Continual, willful disobedience disqualifies one to be Spirit-filled. This remarkable representative of God is offended when His primary function is denied. His very nature is to make sin appear exceedingly sinful. Sin cannot comfortably remain where the Holy Spirit abides. Either the sin is renounced or the Spirit finally will be rejected and depart. Refusing to walk in the light does not bring an immediate separation from God, but persistent disobedience continues to harden the conscience to the seriousness of sin. That state of darkness developed by repeated violation of known truth is what we refer to as the unpardonable sin." |

91 | created to worship | NT general Archive 1 | New Creature | 136068 | ||
If we were created for God's pleasure, which we were. Rev. 4:11 Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created. And since God is looking for true worshippers who worship Him in spirit and in truth John 4:23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. Then worship pleases God and since worship is pleasing to God, and since we were created for pleasing Him, what better way of pleasing Him, than by giving Him the worship that is due. He deserves our worship He is worthy of our worship Rev. 22:9 keep the sayings of this book: worship God. New Creature |

92 | Work our your salvation because God.... | Phil 2:12 | New Creature | 136065 | ||
I personally see a simple answer to this question. Once we become saved, the Christian walk is our responsibility. 1 Thess. 4:1 Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort you by the Lord Jesus, that as ye have received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, so ye would abound more and more Actually to "walk" is a command, to follow up in obedience to the command is our responsibility. It is even possible for one to refuse to "walk in the light" 1 John 1:7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin The above verse has the conditional word "if" which can be either positive if we walk in obedience, or in a negative aspect if we refuse to walk in obedience. To make a long anwer short. We must choose to willingly co-operate with God, God never forces us to obey and walk in the light. Thats a daily choice each of us has to make. Co-operate is the key word. Synergism is another word often used for co-operate Synergism in the sense in which I use the word simply seeks to reconcile two paradoxical truths: the sovereignty of God and man's moral responsibility.

93 | So how do you hear God's voice? | Eccl 7:17 | New Creature | 135860 | ||
Let me briefly describe one instance where I knew without a doudt that I heard from God. I had applied for a new high tech job, and prayed that if it is God's will for me, that I would get this job, then I would know God wanted me there. So I told God in prayer, that if I got the job, I then would know it was His will. And if I didn't get the job, I would know that it was not God's will for me to have the job. So I said: God, I am committing this matter into your hands, and am trusting you for what ever the outcome will be. Then I found myself worrying over it, and God with His still small voice spoke to my heart and said; "My child why do I find you worrying over this? Didn't you committ the outcome of it into my keeping?" And then I apologized to God for my worrying, because it demonstrated a lack of trust in God on my part. I then completely left the matter in His hands no longer worrying over it, and I felt totally at peace about it. The final conclusion was. I did get the job. I had heard God's loving and still small voice. And I knew that being on this job was where God wanted me to be. He had given me a new workplace, which I considered a new place of evangelism, to reach out to the lost. New Creature |

95 | Born of the water means? | John 3:5 | New Creature | 134212 | ||
In my personal view, "born of the water" as in John 3:5 refers to our natural physical birth. Our earthly mothers carried us around in a watery womb, until the water broke and we came forth. "born of the water" appears to be physical birth, while "born of the Spirit" seems to be in reference to a supernatural spiritual birth which God performs on those who are spiritually dead. P.S. I believe John Moran did ans excellent job explaining this phrase for you. Blessings New Creature |

96 | Baptism or No? Our Forefathers said... | Eph 4:9 | New Creature | 134097 | ||
Rowdy; I have read your posts, and just thought that I would pass along to you, what I heard Alistair Begg recently said concerning "baptism" He said; Our baptism portrays what Christ Jesus performed. And concerning regeneration he said: Our regeneration is totally the work of God alone. There is nothing we can submit to, to bring about our own regeneration. We can't say "excuse me, could you please regenerate me." I realize you will disagree with that, but I just wanted you to consider what he had to say on this. We can ask to be baptised, but we cannot ask or request, or submit to anything which could possibly bring about our own regeneration. We remain passive in regeneration. Since we are dead in tresspasses and sin (Eph 2), we do not even recognize our need to be baptized. Those who are in a spiritually dead state, cannot submit to something or even make the initial move towards salvation, unless they have first been made alive spiritually. It is at this point that they can recognize their need. And only then. Just my widows mite worth Blessings New Creature |

97 | Evolution vs. Creation in Today's World | Bible general Archive 2 | New Creature | 133340 | ||
On a similar note: “There are only two possibilities as to how life arose. One is spontaneous generation arising to evolution. The other is a supernatural, creative act of God. There is no third possibility. Spontaneous generation that life arose from non-living matter was scientifically disproved long ago by Louis Pasteur and others. That leaves us with only one possible conclusion – that life arose as a supernatural, creative act of God.” I will not accept that philosophically, because I do not want to believe in God. Therefore, I choose to believe in that which I know is scientifically impossible, spontaneous generation arising to evolution.” Dr. George Wald, professor emeritus of biology at Harvard University and Nobel Prize winner in 1971, as he wrote in Scientific American magazine “I had motives for not wanting the world to have a meaning. For myself, as no doubt for most of my contemporaries, the philosophy of meaninglessness was essentially an instrument of liberation. The liberation we desired was simultaneously liberation from a certain system of morality. We objected to the morality, because it interfered with our sexual freedom. We objected to the political and economic system, because it was unjust. The supporters of these systems claim that in some way they embodied the meaning – a Christian meaning, they insisted – of the world. There was one admirably simple method of confusing these people and at the same time justify ourselves in our political and erotic revolt. We could deny that the world had any meaning whatsoever.” Humanist and Atheist Aldous Huxley from his book, “Ends and Means” Dobzhansky frequently was quoted as saying; “We know evolution is true, even though we don’t know how it works, and have never seen it happen.” “To suppose that the eye with all its inimitable contrivances for adjusting the focus to different distances, for admitting different amounts of light, ….. and for the correction of spherical and chromatic aberration, could have been formed by natural selection, seems, I freely confess, absurd in the highest degree.” (Darwin) |

These two verses should suffice. There are plenty of others. John 14:9 Jesus saith ...... he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father? Matthew 1:23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. |

100 | Santification | Rom 12:2 | New Creature | 132857 | ||
Sanctification is a continious ongoing process in the life of the believer. It is the process in which the believer is being transformed, and conformed on a daily basis, more and more into Christ's likeness. Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. |
