81 | In Acts, how did disciples make disciple | Acts | DPMartin | 234488 | ||
Maybe you should read the book of Acts and find out. | ||||||
82 | In Acts, how did disciples make disciple | Acts | DPMartin | 234507 | ||
Thanks for the reply Well I guess its better then being called a dummy. So then, what did you find out? How can you expect an answer for that general subject scripturally when just about the whole NT is about discipleship? I mean the answer is, read the NT and ask questions about the particulars. |

83 | why is it better to give than to receive | Acts 20:35 | DPMartin | 233890 | ||
If you are able to give, then you have received more then your need to have. That would mean you are blessed to the point that you can give without expectation of a return. | ||||||
84 | Which is first, wrath or Grace? | Rom 2:2 | DPMartin | 234397 | ||
Which is first, wrath or Grace? And consider: why is it, that we are required to know, and believe (Jn:6:29). I mean we are born into the world we have no problem with the fact that the world is, and learning how things are and work in the world, but the Kingdom of Heaven, few if any understand. Jesus witnessed the Father to us (Mt:7:21) that we may know and believe, and what would that accomplish, unless grace is first? Because if wrath was first, who would survive? Noah found Grace in the Lord God’s sight (Gen:6:8:), note that your made to know that, via the scripture. And in scripture it is the first place Grace is mentioned. Also, when the Lord heard the case of Adam and Eve in the Garden (Gen:3), (note nothing was asked of, nor heard from the serpent) was it Grace that was in action there? If wrath was first would they even made it out of the garden? Even before the Spirit of God came into His creation, there was nothing to be perceived until He did come into creation and said let there be light. If His Presence never came into creation, would there be light? And note, there was still darkness, and God separated the two. Didn’t Jesus (the Light of men)(Jn:1:4) come into the world to deliver use from the wrath of God (Jn:3:36)? And the darkness comprehended it not, hence there is still darkness in the world even though the Light of the world came into the world. And let us not confuse Judgement of God as wrath, according to the Lord God it is something to live by. (Gen:18:19, Lev:18:4-5) Is it the lack of knowledge of, and believing in, God’s Grace that would, or could result in wrath? |

Beja thanks for the reply How can it be that we don’t need mercy when scripture says this: (KJV) ******************** Mt:5:7: Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. Mt:9:13: But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. Mt:23:23: Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone. Lk:1:50: And his mercy is on them that fear him from generation to generation. Lk:1:54: He hath holpen his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy; Lk:1:72: To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant; Lk:1:78: Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us, *************** Why it is that the “Mercy seat” covers the ark of the covenant, and the law therein, and the Lord God said He would appear (Ex:25:22) and meet with them, meaning Israelites, if Mercy isn’t needed? Theory isn’t Truth, at best it is merely what men imagine something they don’t know to be, and in that, is no revelation that is of the Lord God, is there? And scripture is all about the Living Almighty God and His relationship with His People, which is revelation of the Lord God to His People, not theory. I do believe even in philosophy circles, theory is theory, and knowledge or knowing, is revelation, but don’t hold me to that. You said : “we know that God's wrath comes in response to sin” Sorry its your belief that God's wrath comes in response to sin. If that were true then what is Jesus’ offering on the Cross all about? Granted, Jesus suffered in our place, but wasn’t that act the Mercy of God to have His Son His only begotten Son suffer in our place? And isn’t it so that all manner of “sin” shall be forgiven unto men, (Mt:12:31) How is that is a response of wrath to sin? The Lord God’s response to sin through His Son is Mercy and Forgiveness to the point where the forgiven’s sins are forgotten. Nobody said there isn’t wrath, but most of that has been men to men, not God to men. At least as of yet. It would seem that the wrath would be toward the refusal of the Presence of His Holy Son our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in the world. |

86 | Which is first, wrath or Grace? | Rom 2:2 | DPMartin | 234403 | ||
Bega I can understand that what I posted would be confusing. Maybe this might clarify. Did Jesus come into the world to redeem and restore and deliver us, because God Loves, or because of God’s wrath? Thanks |

87 | Which is first, wrath or Grace? | Rom 2:2 | DPMartin | 234409 | ||
EdB Its very simple, God made the man and then made the garden and then placed the man in the garden. What is the life that God chose for the man? And now what is the life Adam and Eve have after they made their own choice? Hence we are born into that life, that is the place of sin, guilt, shame, blame, condemnation, and the choice to judge what is good or evil. Therefore, Jesus restoring us to God’s choice, which is Jesus His Son, hence the son ship shared, or given as John speaks of in 1 John. If one rejects restoration into the Presence of God via the Holy Spirit, then the result is not happiness with the Lord God. And since we are in the earth, in the world, if some one rejects the Presence of God in the place they be, (that was given to them) then that person should expect the Lord Jesus to not welcome that person into Heaven where He is. There are many who honor sin and insist in it’s power, to guilt, to shame to blame to condemn to judge another with and to bring men to death. When it is the Lord who is Life, Life eternal that says to fear Him. Hence honor and respect the power of God’s Grace which has always been, because God has always been. There is no doubt in the mind of Christ, of the Father’s Love for Him. Aren’t we supposes to seek the mind of Christ to replace our own? Isn’t the Father’s Love, before anything, since it is true that "God is Love"? thanks |

Beja If you noticed, theology is a house of cards maintained by the intelligent, therefore they are more righteous then others who are not as intelligent.(Rom:10 the whole chapter)You can’t control scripture, but you can create theology and manipulate how people see and read scripture. The trouble is, theology makes people ignorant of the Lord God’s Presence. The religious leaders back in the day when Jesus walked with Israel had many different theologies some more influential in the culture then others by virtue of who many have had power and influence and what theology they were associated with. For example Pharisees Sadducees. But it was the fishermen and tax collectors and thieves that understood who Jesus is. Hence the intelligent was so smart they never recognized the true Presence of God. To what good is the gainsaying of one follower of one theology and the gainsaying of another in response, when it is Jesus the Christ that is the agreement? There is no theology in Heaven, and there is no disagreement with the Lord our God in Heaven. This statement that is presumed to be by King David isn’t theology, it is his experience with the Lord his God in the Lord God’s Presence with him. Ps:18:2: The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower. |

BradK Thanks for the reply To put it plainly, a witness (in the case of Christianity) has experienced the Presence of God via the power of the Holy Spirit and his daily walk that the Lord is with him, and a theist knows his own thoughts on a matter, not necessarily based on personal experience. And the ignorant theist is correct about his own thoughts, or adopted theory/theology, therefore that makes him correct in his own eyes, but what he thinks isn’t correct. Jesus is always correct on and in all things, and in all matters, and anything else is contrary to that. So what “maturity” is there in holding on to something that may be contrary to what the Lord God thinks and knows? In most cases the theist believes his perception supercedes the Truth of God, and argues against the Truth of God with the gainsaying. And without a relationship with the Truth of God how can the theist know? And Jesus Christ being the Truth of God revealed in the flesh in the world wouldn’t withhold the Truth of God, unless one doesn’t have that relationship. The theist has a relationship with his own thoughts, and imaginations, and those who agree with him. |

BradK You have to be way incorrect, in your assumption "We get to know our faith- our Saviour through the written Word, not experientially." Though it is true that faith comes by hearing the Truth of God but no one believes what he don’t know, nor follows what he don’t know, hence knowing the Presence of God is required in order to follow. What bible did Abraham read, or was the Lord God with him? Did Abraham read some book and then followed or went to the land that is now Israel? Or did Abraham experience the Presence of God, and believed (note: God speaks in His Presence)? Or what book did Noah read when he followed instructions to build and ark? Or what book did Moses read? Was God’s deliverance of Goliath into David’s hand theory or experience. Was Job theorizing or experiencing, or was it, his friends were theorizing and Job was experiencing. And who was it that the Lord had a relationship with, Job, or Job’s friends? These people walked with the Lord their God, and documented that relationship (The Bible). The Way of the Lord God is to be with His People. Anyone who would think or say that it’s theory or theology (the Bible) doesn’t believe it is fact, or the truth. Such mind sets think to be superior to the Truth. (Please note that all my questions in this conversation have been rhetorical in nature, I am not looking for you to have, or expect you to have answers.) thanks |

91 | does god answer a sinners prayers | Rom 5:8 | DPMartin | 234486 | ||
He most certainly does, if He didn’t, none of us would ever be heard by Him. Call upon the name of Jesus Christ and He will hear your prayer, because trusting in His Son is what He wants. | ||||||
92 | Does God appoint our leaders ? | Rom 13:1 | DPMartin | 233891 | ||
Rom:13:1: Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. It says here that God ordained the power, it doesn’t say God ordained the person who has the governmental power. A throne of a kingdom, or a presidential office is ordained, but who occupies it is not mentioned as ordained. For example, there are those who even serve the president with honor and respect, but that doesn’t mean they voted for who holds the office. Paul is saying that one should respect the powers in the world they are ordained by God. |

93 | Why did god make man in it's image? | 2 Cor 3:18 | DPMartin | 233942 | ||
Modvenger Why, did you see God? What makes you think God is to look human-like? If God made man in His image and likeness then shouldn’t men look God like? And if men are supposed to be God like, then if they are not God like then they fall way short of what men are made to be. Isn’t that so? |
||||||
94 | Who really deserves to go to Hell/Heaven | Eph 2:8 | DPMartin | 234458 | ||
The same happens to the murderer/rapist and the person deemed good by his fellows around him. (Eccl:2:14) They both die, or maybe better said return to the ground from which they were made. Therefore only God can change that, which requires a agreeable, peaceful relationship, which God has given through His Son Jesus Christ. Grace isn’t merited by deed, it is given of God through Faith. And even so, the Lord explains His view when questioned about the woman washing His feet with her hair.(Luke:7:36-50) He who has been forgiven much is thankful much, he who has been forgiven little is thankful little and if you noticed the Lord didn't turned away the woman's affections as to His Lordship. So it is apparent that the Lord likes repentance and the penitent. Those that are not Humble and think to have earned their own way into Heaven will find out that it is otherwise. Isa:57:15: For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones. |

95 | what ggod works God created us for? | Eph 2:10 | DPMartin | 233944 | ||
Well, creation is a good work, isn’t it? And God worked to make it all, (according to scripture) so shouldn’t you be looking to the work that Jesus did and does, as to what is a good work? Consider, that which is set for destruction, can be restored, redeemed, saved, to its original state. And that original state of all things made by God, God said was good, very good. |
||||||
96 | God, brings wicked to destruction | 2 Tim 2:15 | DPMartin | 233998 | ||
The none believer becomes a believer and receives Life, everlasting. What happens to the spirit of the none belief or even the none believer, and even none belief. The spirit of none belief cannot be present in the same body as the Spirit of the believer. If the none believer never believes and refuses the Truth then he never has received Life that is of God. Therefore could the destroyer be none belief? Hence the none believer drinks the cup of his own choosing. Because in the Presence of God there will be no, none belief, will there? Consider, anyone at the time of the first Passover had to be a believer to survive, otherwise they would have not of depended on the presence of the Blood, to deliver them from death. |

97 | Is it possible to cease from sinning | 2 Tim 2:15 | DPMartin | 234363 | ||
Sure, but are you talking about the act, or what is in the heart? A criminal will stop committing crimes if he values his life more, or his freedom more, but that doesn’t mean his heart is not the same. And that is what the Lord Jesus is talking about more often then not. If what is in the heart isn’t replaced with what is in the Lord’s Heart then no, the sinner continues to contemplate the fulfillment of what is in his heart (Gen:8:21) even though he might not act on it, but if he perceives that opportunity presents itself and there is no risk or fear of losing what he values more, he might follow through with it. Hence fear of the Lord thy God, has its value.(Deut:17:19) If what is in man’s heart is replaced by what is in the Lord’s heart, then the desire and expectations are for the fulfillment of what is in the Lord’s heart. For example righteousness. When the Lord God referred to King David as a man after His own heart, can be perceived as one who seeks the love of God or God’s favor, but could it mean that King David wanted the same heart as his Lord and Master’s Heart, and detested that which was of his own? |
||||||
98 | For the Loss of Heaven | Heb 3:8 | DPMartin | 234020 | ||
If one’s heart is in the Lord, then its in the right place and in a safe place. If you read in Ex:20 when the Lord God spoke directly to the people in verses 21: And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where God was. That to me is the difference, Moses’ heart was with the Lord his God, and the peoples heart was with their own lives that they valued more then being with God. | ||||||
99 | Will we see God when we die? | Heb 12:14 | DPMartin | 233747 | ||
Every soul shall stand before the Lord God. So, yes, after one passes on at some place and or time. What men think to interpret themselves is one thing, but what is for sure in scripture, all will answer before the Lord God their Creator and Judge. | ||||||
100 | is barack obama the antichrist? | 1 John 2:18 | DPMartin | 234291 | ||
It is said by many that anyone not for Christ is antichrist: 1Jn:2:18: Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time. 1Jn:2:22: Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. 1Jn:4:3: And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world. 2Jn:1:7: For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist. According to John, already in the world, in John's day. No statement by President Obama says he is for or against Christ. The prophets were Hebrews, and the scriptures are written by Hebrews. So the scriptures are written in accordance to the Lord God’s relationship to and with the Hebrews. So this terrible being church people wait for, is really described from the Hebrew point of view and mainly through Apostle John. World history and bible prophecy doesn’t revolve around the USA. It revolves around Israel. And right now Hebrews in Israel, that are not followers of Jesus Christ, are aintichrist though they do maintain a civility with the Christian community for political support. If the Lord sees the need for you to know, why would He hide it from you? Therefore I wouldn’t worry about it. |
