Subject: Praise the Lord! |
Bible Note: Isaiah 28 says we are to take the word of God and add line upon line precept upon precept here a little there a little. Paul said "out of the mouth of two or three witnesses let every word be established." We cannot look at one scripture and think that is the whole picture God was trying to paint. The bible says if we don't do the will of the Father it doesn't matter what miracles we have performed we won't see heaven yet the scripture in Romans states if we confess with our mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in our hearts... we will be saved. I don't mean to be negative about this but I am adament about this. the Greek word used a majority of the time for believe is: "Pisteuo" BELIEVE: Greek equivalent “PISTEUO”(4100) Pistueo means: to believe, put ones faith in, trust, with An implication that actions based on that trust would follow. Pistueo is translated into English as Believe(115), Believeth(77), believest(8), committed(3), committed unto(1) etc It's interested the word is also translated into committed. I think sometimes words can lose meaning over time and we should go back to the original text to find what God was really trying to portray. Anyhow I don't mean to come accross offensive. So God Bless all of you. (The followers where told, when they asked about John and his followers babtism being different than theirs if they were quote christians and they were told if they profess or claim Jesus they are my sheep. I know many of us here may disagree about some things but ultimately we all believe in Jesus so we are all family. People in Church are always learning some never able to come to a knowledge of the full truth, but for all I am concerned I appreciate everyone on this board. I am a man with a passion for God a passion for his Word. I love to discuss and study the depths and heights of Gods mysteries. We are alike and I would call all of you friends even if we don't agree on some things. God Bless you all, Casey |
