81 | Heb6:4-6 Loosing salvation or what? | Heb 6:4 | hopalong | 207622 | ||
You seem to be reluctant to move from your belief that these "tasters" and "partakers",are regenerate, and that despite a mountain of scripural evidence to the contrary! The answer follows.. Heb 6:5 and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, Heb 6:6 and then have fallen away, it is impossible to renew them again to repentance, since they again crucify to themselves the Son of God and put Him to open shame. WHY? Heb 6:7 For ground that drinks the rain which often falls on it and brings forth vegetation useful to those for whose sake it is also tilled, receives a blessing from God; Heb 6:8 but if it yields thorns and thistles, it is worthless and close to being cursed, and it ends up being burned. Heb 6:9 But, beloved, we are convinced of better things concerning you, and things that accompany salvation, though we are speaking in this way. Can a good tree bear bad fruit! I dun tink so. Hoppy |

HI Beja These folks are NOT believers, they are apostates! Tasting alone does not mean that they went on to eat and enjoy. One may partake, without believing. for instance I may partake of a Church service (even enjoy it) and leave and leave empty. I suggest you allow scripture interpret scripture. of God Bless, Hopalong |

83 | What does it mean to be poor in spirit? | Matthew | hopalong | 207454 | ||
Dear sunilpb426 To be "poor in spirit" is to be totaly dependent on Jesus. It is the realization of our own spiritual poverty. Rock of Ages, cleft for me, Let me hide myself in Thee; Let the water and the blood, From Thy wounded side which flowed, Be of sin the double cure; Save from wrath and make me pure. Not the labor of my hands Can fulfill Thy law’s demands; Could my zeal no respite know, Could my tears forever flow, All for sin could not atone; Thou must save, and Thou alone. Nothing in my hand I bring, Simply to the cross I cling; Naked, come to Thee for dress; Helpless look to Thee for grace; Foul, I to the fountain fly; Wash me, Savior, or I die. While I draw this fleeting breath, When mine eyes shall close in death, [originally When my eye-strings break in death] When I soar to worlds unknown, See Thee on Thy judgment throne, Rock of Ages, cleft for me, Let me hide myself in Thee.

84 | Ezekiel's False Propheys Like Today? | Ezek 13:6 | hopalong | 207305 | ||
Dear Tumbleweed, My own thoughts on the subject are to put my confidence in God's Holy Bible alone. That does not mean that I don't seek guidence from my pastor or others that are more spirtualy mature than myself. Acts 2:38 Peter said to them, "Repent, and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. HOPPY ps I WOULD NOT PUT ANY STOCK IN THOSE WHO CLAIM THAT GOD SENT THEM A MESSAGE FOR YOU!HE IS CERTAINLY ABLE TO SEND A MESSGE TO YOU DIRECTLY. |

85 | what is god telling us? | Nah 1:1 | hopalong | 207262 | ||
I came across song and was compelled to share it with those who may not be aware of it. Providentally, it fits quite well with the current topic (Jonah). you may find the melody song on you tube. ps I was not able to find the name of the writer. Hoppy The Hornet Song When the Canaanites hardened their hearts against God, And grieved Him because of their sin, God sent along hornets to bring them to terms, And to help His own people to win. If a nest of live hornets were brought to this room, And the creatures allowed to go free, You would not need urging to make yourself scarce, You’d want to get out, don’t you see! They would not lay hold and by force of their strength, Throw you out of the window, oh, no! They would not compel you to go against your will, But they would just make you willing to go. When Jonah was sent to the work of the Lord, The outlook was not very bright. He never had done such a hard thing before, So he backed and ran off from the fight. Now, the Lord sent a gteat fish to swallow him up, The story I am sure you all know. God did not compel him to go against his will, But He just made him willing to go. CHORUS: God does not compel us to go, oh, no! He never compels us to go. God does not compel us to go against our will, But He just makes us willing to go. |

86 | Is Packer right? | Prov 16:33 | hopalong | 207029 | ||
"God's works of providence are his most holy, wise, and powerful preserving and governing all his creatures, and all their actions" (Westminster Shorter Catechism Q.11). If Creation was a unique exercise of divine energy causing the world to be, providence is a continued exercise of that same energy whereby the Creator, according to his own will, (a) keeps all creatures in being, (b) involves himself in all events, and (c) directs all things to their appointed end. The model is of purposive personal management with total "hands-on" control: God is completely in charge of his world. His hand may be hidden, but his rule is absolute. J.I.Packer. | ||||||
87 | Believing but Falling Away? | Heb 3:12 | hopalong | 206843 | ||
No, I don't think it refers to "falling away from sin". It is the kind of warning that a loving father would give his child. Hoppy |

88 | Believing but Falling Away? | Heb 3:12 | hopalong | 206776 | ||
Hello and welcome Tumbleweed! THANK YOU FOR YOUR QUESTION. I do not believe that, a person that has an evil and unbelieving heart, can be described as being "In God". 2 Cor 5:17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come. God bless, Hopalong |

" Perseverance of the Saints All who are chosen by God, redeemed by Christ, and given faith by the Spirit are eternally saved. They are kept in faith by the power of Almighty God and thus persevere to the end." author unknown Dear Tami, We all have sinned and have up short. Your grief and anxiety are the reponses of all Christians who fallen in a grevious sin. If you had simply blown off your sin and had taken it lightly, I would have exhorted you seek repentance. Romans 7 has been a great help for me. I pray that you study it and that God will give you grace you in this dfficult time. May He bless and keep you til that glorious day! Hopalong |

91 | Questions about being Saved | Bible general Archive 4 | hopalong | 206564 | ||
hsftang, Welcome! see if this article Helps. Hoppy Jesus is 100 percent God, 100 percent man It is vitl to be precise when we talk of the Person of Jesus Christ. Heresy looms large on either side of the biblical road, and many a soul has fallen in to its hellishly hewned ditches. Getting it right about Christ is not merely a job for elite theologians. All of us are called upon to proclaim, herald and worship the biblical Christ. Only the biblical Christ is worthy of worship. Only the biblical Christ can save. That's because the biblical Christ is the only one who truly exists. Jesus warned us that many false Christs would appear. This is the case in two ways: Firstly, there are false Christs who appear in human history to draw away disciples after themselves; secondly, there are false Christs erected in the minds of people, such as a Christ who is God but not man, or a man, but not God. Either kind is deadly to the soul. So who exactly is the biblical Christ? The scriptures reveal very clearly that He is God and He is man. He is not a concocted blend of God and man, being perhaps 50 percent God and 50 percent man. He is full and undiminished deity and true humanity - in one Person. Exactly how can this be understood? I came across a very helpful article on this theme today from Desiring God Ministries here . I recommend it highly. May the truths govern our thinking and guide our worship, as we do so in spirit and in truth. - Pastor John Samson Hoppy |

Ex 32:33 The LORD said to Moses, "Whoever has sinned against Me, I will blot him out of My book. 32:34 "But go now, lead the people where I told you. Behold, My angel shall go before you; nevertheless in the day when I punish, I will punish them for their sin." Dear Unction, Who (apart from Jesus Christ) has not sinned against God! It appears to me, that the only remedy to having one's name blotted out, is to have one's sins blotted out! Thank God for our glorious Savior who has saved us (His chosen ones) from death and eternal wrath. Hoppy |

96 | Why is the Christian Church so divided? | Bible general Archive 4 | hopalong | 206388 | ||
Some say that the gifts are for today, others say that the gifts have ceased. Others don't know. Christians are free to hold any of the above and not break fellowship over them. I'm one who is undecided on the gifts. I am far more disturbed over the charlatons on TV that seek filthy lucer in payment for "THE SEVEN SECRETS TO HEALING" OR" THE TWELVE STEPS TO PROSPERITY'! I do believe that God answers our prayers according to His perfect will. Hoppy |

Dear Brothers, TAKE HEART! Rom 8:28 And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. Rom 8:29 For those whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brethren; The true Church is not divided! Not in the eyes of Christ it is'nt. He knows His bride and when He returns for Her He will present her to His Father in all Her beauty and spotless perfection. Hoppy |
