961 | thou hast left thy first love | Bible general Archive 1 | New Creature | 50941 | ||
Yes God's word gives us word's of encouragement as well as words of warning. After each of the seven letters to the seven churches of Revelation, comes the statement 7 times as to certain promises to those who persevere. or as the KJV says "To him that overcometh" Many are the promises to the overcomers. | ||||||

Dear Mommapsbs; Thank you; I found the previous response concerning "first love" I also noticed for the first time how the Amplified Version of the Bible renders this verse which if accurate, clarifies what is meant by this verse. Here is the Amplified Version redition of Rev. 2:4 - Revelation 2:4 But I have this [one charge to make] against you: that you have left (abandoned) the love that you had at first [you have deserted Me, your first love]. I notice that it states: "you have left (abandoned).... (deserted) Me, your first love." So that means they have deserted Jesus who is the one who gave this revelation to John. Therefore Jesus is what is intended by the words "first love" The church of Ephesus were in the process of leaving and abandoning Jesus, their first love. However they were given time to repent, (2:5) and if they failed to do so, then their candelstick (which I think refers to Christian witness, testimony, or influence in that area in which they resided) would be removed. |

Yes it's true of me that I am direct, and I don't pull alot of punches. That is a part of my short-coming which I pray that the Lord will continue to soften me up. I am like a rough cut diamond that has some nasty edges that need to be chipped away, and then when that process is complete, then I need some polishing. Besides that my worst subject in school was English grammar. | ||||||

I agree, we have to separate needs, such as food, clothing, shelter, from wants. 1 John 3:17 But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels [of compassion] from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him? 18 My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth. and also: James 2:15 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, 16 And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be [ye] warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what [doth it] profit? |

Dear justme; It sounds like the Lord has brought you through quite a lot, and has made a lot of changes in your life. I will pray for you as you asked that the Lord will continue to lead you comfort you and guide you. It's hard in a forum like this to get to really know one another, we assume a lot about what the other person must be like by their writtings. I too have been through quite a lot, and it is hard for me to trust people anymore because of some of the disappointments I have had with people whom I thought I could trust. All I can say is people will let us down but Jesus is a Friend that sticks closer than a brother, and he will never leave us or forsake. He said "Lo I am with you always. Love and peace newcreature |

Dear justme; I'm sorry you feel as though I attack you. Can you give me an example? If it's merely some thing we disagree on, thats normal. Controversy is not evil; it is the servant of truth. Only prejudice is evil and the enemy of understanding.to disagree with sincere men or women is not to dishonor them. Are you sure your not just over sensitive? That may sound like a rude question, nevertheless, it is one each of us must ask ourselves. Love in Christ |

I would suggest that you find the time to re-read what I posted. You quoted me out of context, with words which cannot be found in my post. I believe you completely misunderstood my comments. Here is what I did say in that post: "God truly can mold us and reshape us" "He can re-create us." "He is the potter and we are the clay" "He desires to continue the transformation work that He began within us." "Change my heart oh God" What is unScriptural about that? |

I did not say I agree with everything Ryrie ever wrote or said. I only agree with the 3rd option he listed, because I believe that it is in agreement with my understanding of Scripture, as I feel led by what the Holy Spirit of God has been teaching me as I daily spend time alone with God in His word | ||||||

Sorry you feel the way you do. The fact of the matter is that this is a topic that I have been studying as of lately and want to listen to what others have to say concerning this topic. Besides didn't Jesus himself say: " LuKe 12:51 Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division:" |

This will be very debatable, but let me ask it anyway if I may. What Bibical support for or against baptismal regeneration can anyone provide me with? |

To quote you, you said: "The Greek grammar in this passage cannot be talking about physical birth and spiritual birth as two separate events. The grammar here clearly indicates that the birth of water and the birth of Spirit are simultaneous. It is taking it out of its original linguistic context to try to make this refer to 2 separate events. Besides if Jesus is talking to people who have already been born physically (Duh!) then why should he tell them this requirement for salvation?" Let me ask you this then. In verse 4 Nicodemus asked: "can a man enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born? So we see Nicodemus himself was asking whether Jesus was speaking of a physical birth. But thats not the whole of the matter: in verse 6 Jesus distinguishes between the two births to clarify what He meant Jesus said in verse 6 "That which is born of the flesh (physical birth) is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit (meaning spiritual birth in contrast to the previous mentioned physical birth) is spirit. So the water in my opinion can indeed mean the water or fluid of a physical birth. I merely state what I have come to believe. I respect the opinion of those who will disagree with me and others who believe this way. |

I was going to ask what water referred to here in John 3:5 but I did a search on this verse and found that this question has already been answered in the past. I notice however that there is much disagreement even among noted theologians concerning the meaning of water here. I personally would side with the 3rd defintion taken from the comments of Ryrie's Study Bible which you posted which state. "(3) it (water) refers to natural birth (specifically, the fluid released when the amniotic sac breaks prior to labor); thus it means "unless one is born the first time by water and the second time by the Spirit"; |
