Yes, and His WORD is His will. What God SAID He will do. The men of faith were acting in response to God's Words...had they not, His WORDS to them would have not been fulfilled. God indeed does not NEED man, but according to the Word He chose to covenant WITH man so He is bound by His Word. God bless |

"My answer is: Yes, God would have been able to do what He did even if the people did not have faith. God's power and ability are not dependent on anything in man. For example, if the Lord had kept His promise to Abraham throughout the generations based on the faith of the Israelites, they never would've survived as long as they have" Explain this statement scripturally. What promise are you speaking of? The one I see promised his seed would continue forever.. Genesis 15:5 And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be. Acts 13:23 Of this man's seed hath God according to his promise raised unto Israel a Saviour, Jesus: Romans 4:16 Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all, The promise to Abraham regarding his seed extended to Christ and then with Christ birthed the body of Christ...both Jew and Gentile who are of faith are Abraham's. "God is perfect and complete in Himself. He needs nothing from man. He needs nothing -- period. If He did, then He would not be perfect and complete in Himself." It is misconception that the WOF teaches that God is not sovereign. I have had lengthy conversations regarding this. The difference in what you are sayong and what I am saying can be summed up in this statement. You say God is sovereign regardless of His Word, and I say God is sovereign through His Word. The Word of God is all we have to base our faith upon...if we base our faith on anything other than the Word, we are subject to great misconceptions of God's nature and will. God states throughout the Bible and especially the New Testament how every move He makes in the earth with mankind is through FAITH. Had Abraham not had the faith to act on the Word God spoke to him, he would not have not been the father of the promise. God would have sought another who would believe Him and act upon His Word. Yes, His will would have been done but not through Abraham... Acting upon God's Word by faith is OBEDIENCE, acting on the Word by faith is OBEDIENCE. God speaks His Word...Do this and be blessed, or do that and be cursed...We choose to place faith either in the promised blessing and step in faith into the promised blessing, or we choose to place our faith in the curse and step into the promised curse. Is God's will fulfilled when we reject Christ? No, scripture tells us it is the will of the Father that all be saved 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. Will all of God's prophesies be fulfilled? Absolutely...but God will accomplish it through men and women of faith. The question is...Who will believe His Word as Peter did...when he challenged Jesus "If it is you, beckon me to come". There is a powerful statement here...Peter knew when Jesus spoke a command he would be empowered to accomlish the task...apart from the Word spoken into our spirit by the Holy Spirit and us responding by faith...we can receive nothing from God, and not because it is not His will, but rather because we did act by faith in the Word. Yes Radioman, we are brothers and sisters in Christ and will always be. We are here to grow.. God bless |

Hello fran1946, Thank you for the response. This is a very important topic as all the provisions of the will Christ has given us (the New Covenant) must be received through faith. And as you pointed out..beginning with the new birth into the kingdom of God. Purhaps some have difficulty with the concept of 'receive by faith' because we do not add faith in what or who.. I believe we receive all the promises of the New Covenant through faith in the Word of God which is His will and testament to us, and without faith which works or acts we receive nothing even though it has been provided. God bless |

86 | Do Jesus and Paul agree on salv by faith | NT general Archive 1 | gracefull | 92025 | ||
"The bible never mentions "ALONE". If it did it would contradict itself. We are saved when we follow exactly what the bible says to do and be sure not to leave nothing out. See, the church i.e. the body of christ was never set up by men, but God, so therefore the church doesn't save you, it is Christ that saves you." That's law. Following exxactly what the Bible says does not produce the new birth in one's life. The Holy Spirit does that when someone repents and accepts Jesus as saviour. Then and only then can we fulfill the whole law... Matthew 22:35-37 God bless |

87 | Why didn't God make people to love him? | Genesis | gracefull | 74744 | ||
Forced love is not love at all. Without choice, one does not know if they really love or not. I may love you, but since I have no choice, I can't be sure. Let me go and see if I come back. He desired children that love Him. |

Where there is no choice, there is no need for a command or any statement of repercussions. God bless |

90 | Remember the Sabbath; when? | Gen 1:1 | gracefull | 89865 | ||
James 1:13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: I agree...I was born again in a church that worships on Sunday, so I know the Holy Spirit was there. His Spirit led me to a church that worships on Sunday, and I know He would not lead me to a place of 'sin'. I know experience does not trump the Word, but when one finds God manifesting His presence in a worship service on Sunday, one must conclude He is OK with it! God bless |

Hi Ed, My response was to schmythe, and was simply closing the discussion of 'sabbath' worship becuse the two of us apparently agree. But scriptural basis I will now give because you have asked... Collossians 2:16 "Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:" |
||||||
92 | Remember the Sabbath; when? | Gen 1:1 | gracefull | 90125 | ||
I was telling schmythe that I believed the sabbath worship (Saturday)under the New Covenant is not required. You should not insinuate that I believe experience trumps the Word when my posts have many times proven otherwise. God bless |

"I think you did say if there are manifestations then God has to be okay with it. To me that is saying manifestations prove something. I pointed out even the Mormons have manifestations and Jesus would tells those that manifestations proved something to depart from him as they weren't part of him. Now shuffle it any way you like that is what you said." There is only one problem with your conclusion... this is what happens when statements are taken out of context... I am done with this conversation Ed..we both need to move on. God bless |

94 | Remember the Sabbath; when? | Gen 1:1 | gracefull | 90245 | ||
.” Again the Mormons believe the presence of God is in every one of their services." AGAIN...that is NOT what I base my faith on either... God bless |
||||||
95 | Remember the Sabbath; when? | Gen 1:1 | gracefull | 90258 | ||
No Ed, it's what you heard. In context of my other posts? Not so.... Now you may totally explain your entire belief system in a single post, but I do not always accomplish that feat. Again this is the major problem in communications, Trying to make someone a liar or prove their theology is all wrong by taking a single statement, excluding all others. This is the same thing Hank Hannagraff did in his book. God bless |

96 | Remember the Sabbath; when? | Gen 1:1 | gracefull | 90275 | ||
Hi Pastor... I agree! If God's not there, why bother! But the foundation of my faith is God's Word. If you will read further up this thread you will see where I was being accused of placing my faith in 'spiritual experience' which can be ver fallible if one is hearing and trusting the wrong spirit... I was merely pointing out that my faith is rooted and grounded in the Word, and the Holy Spirit along with experiences are the result or manifestation of God's Word. Does that clear things up? God bless |

99 | Are there any "people" created by Satan? | Gen 2:7 | gracefull | 76193 | ||
mommapbs...I have a question....How is Satan a 'powerful being'? If he can't create (which he can't) and if he has no authority over born again believers, what power does he have? Ephesians 118-22 I pray that He will give light to the eyes of your hearts, so that you will understand the hope of which He has called you, what rich glories there are in the inheritance He has promised His people, and how surpassingly great is His power working in us who trust Him. It works with the same mighty strength he used when He worked in the Messiah to raise Him from the dead and seat Him at His right hand in heaven, far above every ruler, authority, power, dominion, or any other name that can be named either in the heavens or in the earth. Also, He has put all things under His feetand made Him head over everything for the Messianic Community, which is His body, the full expression of Him who fills all creation. Also read 2:1-6 Vs. 6 That is, God raised us up with the Messiah Yeshua and seated us with Him in heaven... He is the head, and we are the body. Scripture says all principalities and powers (authorities) are under His feet, so does that not mean they are under our authority because He is the head and we are the body? I believe 2:6 bears this out because scripture says God seated us with Him..at the right hand..symbolic of authority. Do not get me wrong, I know Satan still works in the children of disobedience, and is waring against believers, but it seems the only way he can win is if we let him. I believe Satan's most powerful weapon against the body of Christ is to convince us he has ANY authority over us. Then of course, we would surrender. HOW GREAT is HIS POWER WORKING IN US... I used the "Complete Jewish Bibel" translation. What do you see in these scriptures? |

100 | Who created evil? | Gen 3:1 | gracefull | 92739 | ||
Ngop, You are correct... Exactly, as Paul said, had there been no LAW, there would have been no SIN. Romans 7:7-9 7 What shall we say then? Is the Law sin? May it never be! On the contrary, I would not have come to know sin except through the Law; for I would not have known about coveting if the Law had not said, "YOU SHALL NOT COVET." 8 But sin, taking opportunity through the commandment, produced in me coveting of every kind; for apart from the Law sin is dead. 9 I was once alive apart from the Law; but when the commandment came, sin became alive and I died; The tree in the Garden of Eden was not evil. The Law set forth..Of the tree of good and evil thou shalt not eat. With the command came the right to choose. Without the law there was no 'choice'. God bless |
