  • Adam - In Reply on 2 Corinthians 4 - 4 years ago
    Hello, when reading God's word, one must distinguish between moral law, ceremonial law, civil law. It's my opinion that head covering, circumcision, clothing, etc were Jewish customs and ceremonial laws not applying today. Moral law, like the ten commandments, love thy neighbor, do not kill, apply today.

    Hi Michael,

    Just one verse in the Bible is all it takes to refute the OSAS theory:

    Matthew 12:32 "...but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come."

    But there's so many more verses too. Paul is the one who said we can have assurance of salvation, but what people often do is the remove the contingent part- this requires us to "follow Jesus!" A Christian is an active Jesus follower. It's a pursuit that involves effort and transforming oneself. Not being slave to sin, but to righteousness. People want their cake and to eat it too, by not following Jesus, enjoying unlimited sin, but also demanding salvation like a spoiled, self-entitled brat. Some Christians even deny this reality. But Jesus already addressed that:

    Matthew 7:21-23

    "Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven."

    Believe it or not, there are even people who don't want to do good. They claim that it's 'bad' to do good works. One should ask, did Jesus say that? If not, does that idea come from God or satan?

    John 14:15 "If ye love me, keep my commandments."

    I think people would slander Jesus today for doing good works, just like they did back then.

    Here are more verses (too many to even paste here):

    Hebrews 10:26 "For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,"

    Hebrews 6:4-6

    James 2:14-26 "...faith, if it hath not works, is dead..."

    James 2:19 "Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble."

    1 Peter 1:13 "...hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;"

    Romans 11

    Matthew 12:31-32

    Romans 14:12

    1 Peter 1:5 - "...salvation ready to be revealed in the last time."

    1 Cor 9:24-27 "run the race", not 'party' or sit on sofa.

    Pray to God to know the truth.

    Brother Chris,

    I thank you for your kind and honest words. I will admit I want to do so much but I have to stop sometimes to pray and understand his word. I know the Lord isn't going to lead me empty handed and the last thing he's going to do is not equip me with the sword of the spirit. I don't have much brothers and sisters in Christ so I lack in a lot of areas regarding encouragement from others, prayer groups, Bible studies etc. I have two jobs and although it's Very stressful I can't lie. But I know God has me here for a purpose I just need to study a lot harder. I went back to Matthew so I can learn more about the birth, death and resurrection. I want to be strong in the word. I want to be grounded but I know it all comes within time based on his will and me trusting him and his plan for my life. I had an idea a year ago in making business cards English on one side and Spanish on the other side and just passing them out. Right now finances have been at all time low and honestly I have no idea how I am doing but it's not me it's Christ in me. Everytime I'm on here it's a feeling of excitement and encouragement because even though I don't know y'all it's like I've suffered with you and you with me in all walks of a Christian life. Whether the end drawing nigh gets closer there is one thing you mentioned out of it all is PRAY ! There's days where I feel very overwhelmed and days where I say God why me why do I have a heart like this why oh why. He's lead me this far and has shown me he won't fail nor will he forsake.

    Thank you

    Looking for input

    In Acts 20+21 is the record of Paul going to Jerusalem, 21:22+23 He's bound by the spirit to go there and verse 24 doesn't care if he dies there. He teaches the word then in Chapter 21 he goes to Rhodes to Patara then to Phenicia eventually landing at Tyre. Verse 4 And finding certain disciples we tarries there seven days who said to Paul through the Spirit that he should not go to Jerusalem. Verse ten in caesarea there was a prophet named Agabus who took pauls girdle and bound his own hands and feet [pretty point blank]said thus saith the Holy Ghost the jews shall bind this man and hand him over to the gentiles. and when we heard these things both we and they of that place bes ouht him not to go to Jerusalem then verse 14 and when he would not be persuaded we ceased saying do the will of the lord. My understanding of this in context is that God did not want him to go and he almost lost his life, but its an example of a man that made up his mind this is what I'm doing and God covers it like we do sometimes. I believe he wanted to do this because he knew the law inside out and wanted to deliver people no matter what. It says bound by the spirit any where else I don't read that. Other insights gladly welcome
  • Susanne Ernst - In Reply on 2 Corinthians 4 - 4 years ago
    Thank you. I Corinthians 11-16 I understand to be saying that if a woman chooses not to cover their heads, it is not mandatory. However verses 5 & 6 seem to indicate something different. And it doesn't seem like Paul is saying that a woman's hair is considered a covering for her glory.

    What does Charles Stanley say?

    Dear Earl , yes ! Man cannot bear to admit that his sinfullness is his own , we need to blame some one else for our faults and failings , WE die because WE sin . The Holy One of Israel is LORD of ALL creation . Job says : the Lord gave and the Lord has taken away , blessed be the name of the Lord . No where , apart from Genesis , does any one in the Bible Old or New blame some kind of supernatural monster for their own sinfullness . We have to accept responsibility for our own sinfullness . Why is that so hard for us . It's not hard for me , I know exactly who and what I am , and it's not good ! As Paul's says and I will paraphrase : if I manage to control my actions I will sin with my mouth , if I manage to keep my mouth from sinning then I think something sinful , that's me ! No one else but me . Adam even tried to implicate God in his own sinfullness ! The woman whom thou gavest me ! Blame blame blame . It wasn't my fault , you gave me this woman and she made me do it ! Blame blame blame .
  • Babs on Isaiah 40 - 4 years ago
    Why do the writers and photographers have pictures of Jesus or others in the Bible pictured as Caucasians? As I read the Bible I read that there are Jews, Queen of Sheba was Egyptian,on and on.. No one has ever seen God and Jesus was Jewish. I really need help on this. Do you know?. Is this more important then studying the word of God..No However racism is not in the Bible.

    Dear Brother Carleton,

    Wow and Wow!!!

    What a wonderful scriptural walk thru the bible with highlights on our Heavenly gift of Salvation. Great reading here, and many verses to pray and meditate on.

    Personally, I look at this as a generous and wonderful gift, I'm so humbled, and appreciate all the time you spent on preparing this heavenly summation of scripture. I will print this out, so I can refer to it many times in the future.

    I remain grateful, and God Bless you!
  • David - In Reply - 4 years ago
    Micheal Gods Word does not say once saved always saved but since the term is born again how can you take a spiritual rebirth back. That being said if an individual chooses not to walk by the renewed mind i.e. Gods word I question either the truth of being born again or as it says in the word of God It would be like a dog wallowing in its own vomit. If a person chooses not to continue in the faith then the only thing left is to back to the senses man then the spirit has no effect because there's no believing to walk. There spiritual walk will be a shipwreck of no use.

    Hello KJV Forum I just wanted to mention John 12 : 21 , KJV When the Greeks came to Jerusalem to worship they inquired of Philip where they might find Jesus. They said we wd SEE Jesus ,the whole world wants to see Jesus and this is what Jesus said unless a seed dies it will remain alone, But if it dies it will bring forth much fruit had he not died there wd have been only 1 Christ but b/c of his death he will will be multiplied as the Stars of Heaven impling lil ones , Baby Christ that are gonna be born ( our new birth ) in all of US sinners . THUS WE WILL ALL SEE JESUS Thats y Zech. is saying smite the shepard and the sheep will be scatttered then i will turn my hand to the little ones Baby Christ ,That was the great Promise that Christ wd be multiplied as the Stars of heaven when God Almighty swore by himself, Thus a Baby Christ is gona be born in US. They shall look on ME whom they have Pierced ,And be in bitterness for him as as one who is in bitterness for their 1 st born .And mourn for him as their only SON, And this is y he always refered to himself as the SON OF MAN ZECH. 12 : 10 KJV. as the H.G is our fruit unto God , Our 1st born our only HEAVENLY SON . Whosoever receives one such Child in my name receives ME. Smite the shepard and the sheep will be scattered then i will turn my hand of the lil ONES. Which is the H.G the Child of Promise ( multiplication of his seed ) Thats y the woman is giving birth . Rev 12 : 5. ty Jesus i love ya

    Hi Earl Jesus christ always did and displayed the fathers will, in John 10:9 is the thief or adversaries will steal kill destroy, 1 John 3:8 they are opposites. The last enemy to be destroyed is death 1 Corinthians 15:54:55, also God is light and in God there is no darkness at all. God Bless that's all I have to share.

    Hi David Why should he when His Father said this is myson in whom I am well pleased, also Jesus said I always do the fathers will.
  • Kevin - In Reply - 4 years ago
    It depends on who it is doing the saving. If Jesus the only begotten son of the father, True and only God has saved you - then nothing shall ever separate you from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord!

    Romans 8:35-39!

    It is written that you were bought and paid with a price (Jesus's Blood) - therefore you are not your own. Thank God for this. You are not allowed to judge another man's servant - namely you. It is also written that He will never leave you or forsake you. He cannot lie and His word cannot be broken! He has come to World to save mankind.

    If you believe in the Death Burial and Resurrection of Jesus The Christ then you have True Life! For it is the power onto salvation to all that Believe!

    1 Corinthians 15: 3,4

    John 3:16

    Let us not trust in our own works our our own righteousness- But let us only Believe in His Work on the Cross!

    Let's keep it simple and our Faith in Jesus - for He will put no one to shame that trusts in Him!

    Praise God!!!

  • Chris - In Reply on Jeremiah 19 - 4 years ago
    Hi David. Do you mean, 'did Jesus ever repent of some sin He committed'? The clear & conclusive answer to that, would be, NO. No sin was ever imputed to Him nor found in Him, as much as there were many accusers claiming Him to have done wrong or broken God's Laws. 2 Corinthians 5:21; 1 Peter 2:21-24; 1 John 3:4,5.

    However, if you mean, 'did Jesus ever repent (or, change His mind) for something He did or said', again the answer would be, NO. There have been others who purportedly have found instances of Jesus 'changing His Mind', but from what I've found, those were baseless 'proofs'.
  • D W L on 2 Corinthians 5:7 - 4 years ago
    Matthew 7:13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

    Luke 13:23 Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them, 24 Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.

    Matthew 24:44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.

    Luke 12:40 Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.

    (I love what Jesus says, it's so easy to understand) There is only one hope (Jesus) he said be ready.

    Dear God

    So I really love Braeden Campbell and I have faith in your wonderful plans that I would soon get to withdraw $1300. Well Its over $1000. Heck yeah Im not going to spend it just for my happiness. I had faith in God sending me three years of the best discipline that turned out to be an adventure that would prove my romantic future with Braeden Campbell. Please God, your plan to receive $841 means a lot to me. I would save it for 3 months. I please God I want it so bad, just as I want Braeden. Its kind of sad that Braeden does not have that personality matter of fact he has the personality of a player. Heck yeah for talking to all those women.
  • Chris - In Reply - 4 years ago
    Brother Arnold. You have received encouragement from English Sacha about drawing closer to the Lord, which will then be expressed in & through your life. I will take that thought further applying it to the burden on your heart to be serving the Lord in some manner.

    Any work we do in His Name must be covered in much prayer & study of the Word; for in this way, we will hear from the Lord, we will sense being moved by His Spirit, & we will be emboldened & empowered to serve. Ministries can vary in style & being out there in the front in public can be for many, very intimidating. Often folk will say, 'I won't go to serve unless the Lord takes me out', so they wait ignoring any Divine compulsion as they have not been physically dropped into the 'work'.

    Rather, I see it as firstly, being found busy in the Lord's business (taking up opportunities to share with others personally; serving in the Fellowship; taking or participating in Bible studies; engaging in community service using it as a platform to make Jesus known; etc.). As your desires to serve begin to release in such manner, the Lord can lead you with opportunities out there in the public. Of course, if you already have a competent leader in the Fellowship, he may well take out a group to witness their faith on the street or door-to-door. But if you're going it alone, you could hand out Gospel Tracts (sometimes it's cheaper to write up your own, have a printer prepare a plate(s) for them & have them printed - it might work out to a cent or two each, if printing very large quantities, rather than buying already prepared ones from the Christian bookshop). Hand them out & be prepared to engage in conversation. Sometimes, this is better & more acceptable than holding up a signboard or preaching, as public perceptions have changed over time. Most won't give you the time of day or think of you as a madman, so it's very important to know the Spirit's leading & enabling to carry out the work. Every blessing, Arnold.

    When the Lord shall have washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and shall have purged the blood of Jerusalem from the midst thereof by the spirit of judgement, and by the spirit of burning.

    And the Lord will create upon every dwelling place of mount Zion, and upon her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day, and the shining of a flaming fire by night: for upon all the glory shall ne a defence.

    Isaiah 4:4-5

    Then Peter said unto them, Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

    Acts 2:38

    Whom God hath set forth to ne a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forebearance of God;

    Romans 3:25

    Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:

    Romans 3:24

    To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he may be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.

    Romans 3:26

    Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law;

    Hebrews 10:8

    This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;

    And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.

    Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.

    Having therefore brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus,

    By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;

    Hebrews 10:16-20

    To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by remission of their sins,

    Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us,

    Luke 1:77-78

    But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off...

    2 Peter 1:9

    10-27 End
