81 | What importance is there in fasting | Matt 18:23 | terrib | 151872 | ||
Hi Doc, Thanks, Doc, kinda sorta did thunk so. Reminds me of : (1 Corinthians 14:11 KJV) Therefore if I know not the meaning of the voice, I shall be unto him that speaketh a barbarian, and he that speaketh shall be a barbarian unto me. terrib |

82 | What importance is there in fasting | Matt 18:23 | terrib | 151864 | ||
Hello, I found this description of fasting on the net. Now, I'm not the best of orators, and I'm not illiterate (?). But, can someone explain what this is saying in simple English? "Finally, in the strict acceptation of the term, fasting denotes abstinence from food, and as such is an act of temperance finding its raison d'être in the dictates of natural law and its full perfection in the requirements of positive ecclesiastical legislation." terrib |

Hello jtvd, Good question. Now...which chamber is the bullet in? (Matthew 4:7 KJV) Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. (Matthew 6:24 KJV) No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. How much of the world can I hang onto? Proclaim to your date just where you stand. For once the roller coaster goes over that first hill, the ride isn't over until it is finished. Each man is built different but what is not of faith is sin.(Romans 14:23 KJV) terrib |

84 | husband feels last. baby and teenager??? | Eph 5:31 | terrib | 151823 | ||
Greetings Southernbell, Welcome to this forum! Husband and wife are bound to each other by command and an oath, before God. Your husband comes first, not your children. (Ephesians 5:31 KJV) For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. (1 Corinthians 11:3 KJV) But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God. (1 Corinthians 11:9 KJV) Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man. To the children it is written: (Ephesians 6:1 KJV) Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. (Ephesians 6:2 KJV) Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise;) (Ephesians 6:3 KJV) That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth. It is our duty to rear children correctly: (Ephesians 6:4 KJV) And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. We do not inherit from our children, they inherit from us. (Genesis 25:5 KJV) And Abraham gave all that he had unto Isaac. terrib |

Hi Doc, "The most dangerous thing that we can do with regard to presuppositions is to think that we don't have any." Do you think this is why we have 14,000 commentaries, 177 Bibles, 666 websites and a psychologist in our dens? terrib |

Hi BradK, "...not even the Arians who started the idea Jesus was a created being with divine qualities believed he was an angel. No one in the church history (at least of any influence, good or bad) has ever presented Jesus as Michael the arch angel." See: http://www.letusreason.org/JW22.htm terrib |

Hi Doc, We are beating the same drum. Your eloquence of words far exceeds mine, for my oratory skills are were not delivered in such a big package from the Spirit. But we are twins in Spirit and in that I am thankful. 1Sa 18:1 And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking unto Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul. terrib |

90 | Theological Terms: Regeneration | Titus 3:5 | terrib | 151478 | ||
Hi Doc, You wrote: "No, the Scriptures do not teach that at all."(concerning freedom of choice) Yes, I agree! But a close view of these quotes do not say this. Theological Term: Divine Providence "He governs all creatures and events so that they accomplish what he intends, either by their acting freely (as through human choice) or contingently (as when something happens that did not have to happen) or necessarily (as with the law of gravity). Thus God, in ways beyond our understanding, works in and through everything to bring about his good purposes." Theological Term: Election "Election is the unchangeable purpose of God, whereby, before the foundation of the world, He has out of mere grace, according to the sovereign good pleasure of His own will, chosen from the whole human race, which had fallen through their own fault from the primitive state of rectitude into sin and destruction, a certain number of persons to redemption in Christ, whom He from eternity appointed the Mediator and Head of the elect and the foundation of salvation. This elect number, though by nature neither better nor more deserving than others, but with them involved in one common misery, God has decreed to give to Christ to be saved by Him, and effectually to call and draw them to His communion by His Word and Spirit; to bestow upon them true faith, justification, and sanctification; and having powerfully preserved them in the fellowship of His Son, finally to glorify them for the demonstration of His mercy, and for the praise of the riches of His glorious grace." Theological Term: Predestination "Predestination is that aspect of foreordination whereby the salvation of the believer is taken to be effected in accordance with the will of God, Who has called and elected him, in Christ, unto life eternal." (One-sided ... were is the unbeliever in this definition?) Theological Terms: Gospel Call "Effectual calling is the work of God's Spirit, whereby, convincing us of our sin and misery, enlightening our minds in the knowledge of Christ, and renewing our wills, He doth persuade and enable us to embrace Jesus Christ, freely offered to us in the Gospel." I find no free choice in any of the above statements, for they are all one-sided! They completely neglect to mention those that are unbelievers as though they do not exist at all. Out of all the statements by these men qouted above and in the Theological Terms essays that have been posted, this one has got to take the cake! Is this called redundant or what: (?) "Neither are any other redeemed by Christ, effectually called, justified, adopted, sanctified, and saved, but the elect only." --Westminster Confession of Faith (Chapter III)" - DAH ! That's like saying, "The room was painted white, the painter bought white paint and painted the walls white, therefore the walls are white." The Theological Terms essays that have been posted, to me, do not support free will. Now, as with Paul seeing the war inside himself between flesh and spirit, I now also see a war inside myself between usefullness and uselessness. But, I see Christ, in the parable of the sower, (Mat 13:3-8), spreading the seed to all the world. And, I see that a man can choose, (Mat 7:8) "For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened." And, I see the Gospel to be extremely simple, either one accepts it or not. All the "eight by ten glossy photos with circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one explaining what each one was", becomes a multitude of confusion. Do you think it is possible that we over-explain things, and in the midst of all these words, all these explanations, they give birth to more questions? Maybe this is why Jesus said, Mat 5:37 But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil. terrib |

Hi Doc, So far, in reading through these exposes on Theological Terms, it seems to come down to this: It doesn't matter what a man does, it is God's will that he does them. Is this what you are saying? terrib |

Hi Ray, "Should it be You or you for Job 35:3?" If you read the context it is Elihu speaking to Job. Why would you want to make Job divine? Job 35:1 Moreover Elihu answered and said, Job 35:2 Thinkest thou this to be thy right, Or sayest thou, My righteousness is more than God's, Job 35:3 That thou sayest, What advantage will it be unto thee? And, What profit shall I have, more than if I had sinned? terrib |

95 | Do we "will" to love? | 1 John 4:19 | terrib | 151455 | ||
Hi Doc, "To come to faith in Christ one must first desire Christ, perceive and take delight in His unmatched beauty, and have a love for Him that is greater than a love of sin. Faith will never 'just happen' out of thin air but actually requires that we desire Him, for we only choose that which we most desire." This is NOT true! Did Saul (Paul) desire Christ? Maybe I am by myself in this, but I didn't desire Christ before I was saved nor until I heard the words of the Gospel. "Words are not enough", we are convinced by words. Was the world created by words (the Word)? terrib |

Greetings The Kings Child, Scriptures are from the English Standard Version so they may be better understood. Commentaries are from Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible. (com) (Galatians 6:3 ESV) For if anyone thinks he is something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself. (com) "Those who suppose themselves to excel all others in piety, understanding, etc., while they are harsh, censorious, and overbearing, prove that they have not the charity that thinketh no evil; and in the sight of God are only as sounding brass and a tinkling cymbal. There are no people more censorious or uncharitable than those among some religious people who pretend to more light and a deeper communion with God. They are generally carried away with a sort of sublime, high sounding phraseology, which seems to argue a wonderfully deep acquaintance with Divine things; stripped of this, many of them are like Samson without his hair." (Galatians 6:4 ESV) But let each one test his own work, and then his reason to boast will be in himself alone and not in his neighbor. (com) "Let him examine himself and his conduct by the words and example of Christ; and if he find that they bear this touchstone, then he shall have rejoicing in himself alone, feeling that he resembles his Lord and Master, and not in another - not derive his consolation from comparing himself with another who may be weaker, or less instructed than himself. The only rule for a Christian is the word of Christ; the only pattern for his imitation is the example of Christ. He should not compare himself with others; they are not his standard. Christ hath left us an example that we should follow his steps." (Galatians 6:5 ESV) For each will have to bear his own load. (com) "All must answer for themselves, not for their neighbors. And every man must expect to be dealt with by the Divine Judge, as his character and conduct have been. The greater offenses of another will not excuse thy smaller crimes. Every man must give account of himself to God." (Galatians 6:6 ESV) One who is taught the word must share all good things with the one who teaches. (com) "He who receives instructions in Christianity by the public preaching of the word; ... Contribute to the support of the man who has dedicated himself to the work of the ministry, and who gives up his time and his life to preach the Gospel. It appears that some of the believers in Galatia could receive the Christian ministry without contributing to its support. This is both ungrateful and base. We do not expect that a common schoolmaster will give up his time to teach our children their alphabet without being paid for it; and can we suppose that it is just for any person to sit under the preaching of the Gospel in order to grow wise unto salvation by it, and not contribute to the support of the spiritual teacher? It is unjust." (Galatians 6:7 ESV) Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap. (com) "Be not deceived - Neither deceive yourselves, nor permit yourselves to be deceived by others. He seems to refer to the Judaizing teachers. God is not mocked - Ye cannot deceive him, and he will not permit you to mock him with pretended instead of real services. Whatsoever a man soweth - Whatsoever kind of grain a man sows in his field, of that shall he reap; for no other species of grain can proceed from that which is sown. Darnel will not produce wheat, nor wheat, darnel." (darnel is a species or kind of rye-grass) Hope this helps, terrib |

Dear jtvd, Greetings and welcome to the forum. The limitations of this forum are 5000 characters per answer. To answer all these questions would take considerably more than this limitation. And it would become difficult to determine just what question one is answering when there are so many asked at one time. If you would like to break these down into separate questions the task would be much simpler to follow any train of thought that is offered. Also, by the structure of these questions it appears that these are exam questions. Are we to assume that you want us to do your homework for Theology 101? If these are legitimate concerns you have in understanding God's Word, please enter them one at a time. In love, terrib |

CBA, Until you are married it is covetousness, lusting after something that does not belong to you. Rom 13:9 For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. As to the act of pleasuring oneself: Mar 7:20 And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man. Mar 7:21 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, Mar 7:22 Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: Mar 7:23 All these evil things come from within, and defile the man. Lasciviousness: Webster's dictionary: "Tendency to excite lust, and promote irregular indulgences." Hope this helps, terrib PS: It would be good that you watch your language on this forum! |
