GB,
God honours His Son.
So did the greatest prophet, John the baptist.
You should honour the son, just as you honour God.November 29, 2008 at 1:41 am#112620chosenoneParticipantHi Gene.
I know you honor the Son, as I also do. The last post is an failed attempt to imply you do not. It is an attempt to distract one away from the previous discussion, when one realizes he is out of ammunition for a meaningfull reply. I, also have had this tactict used on me numerous times, but I'm sure we are used to these distractions that try change the subject when one feels defeated in the debate.God bless.

You should believe the gospel.
It is the gospel of God, the gospel of Jesus Christ, the gospel of the kingdom.
Paul too called it his gospel as his words too were from the Spirit of God aligning with that of Jesus and God.
Nick.
Jesus' Words … Matt.15:24: Now He, answering, said, “I was not commissioned except for the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”Pauls epistles …Ro.15:8: For I am saying that Christ has become the Servant of the Circumcision, for the sake of the truth of God, to confirm the patriarchal promises.
…Ro.15:16: 15 Yet more daringly do I write to you, in part, as prompting you, because of the grace being given to me from God,
16 for me to be the minister of Christ Jesus for the nations, acting as a priest of the evangel of God, that the approach present of the nations may be becoming well received, having been hallowed by holy spirit.Notice it's not the “commision” of Jesus, but a minister of the nation. (to complete the Word of God)
Blessings.

The word of God will still stand after all the debaters are fallen.
Better to listen to the Son of God.
God told us to.November 29, 2008 at 4:40 am#112635GeneBalthropParticipantQuote (Nick Hassan @ Nov. 29 2008,14:12) CO,

Nick……. We all know that, Again your making it like some are not looking to the word of God (BUT) you saying what your saying makes it look like you are while there not. Who gave you the right to Judge God's Heritage , They will stand or fall to their own master and stand they will because God is Able to make them Stand. You should follow the words of Christ yourself and let God judge those who you think are not. Lets discuss the Word of God without condescending statements as to what we should or should not do thats not your position to do that brother. Let give respect to each other.Said in love…………….gene

How can anyone follow the Master if they cannot hear his words or place those of men above them?November 29, 2008 at 5:38 am#112640GeneBalthropParticipantNick…..Its not about whose the master or not its about the Spirit of truth. Doesn't it say The student is not above the teacher, then goes on to say “Its enough he is the (SAME) as the teacher”. God did not give Jesus the truth to lord it overs us, but so we can come to the (FULL) measure of HIM. as it says “until we ALL come unto the (FULL) measure of Christ”. Lets (ALL) strive to edify each other Nick and see that we don't put a stumbling block in our brothers path.
love and peace to you and yours…………………gene

You should not deny the Master elevating only the precious Spiritual contents of His vessel.
God praised his son, told men to listen to him and gave Jesus the highest position of glory in His kingdom.November 29, 2008 at 6:16 am#112646GeneBalthropParticipantNick…..I give God the Father the Highest Position in the Kingdom of God, I look at Jesus as My elder Brother who our Father Placed over us to guide us into a right relationship Him. Remember it says we are to acknowledge Jesus (TO THE GLORY OF GOD). God the Father is the ONLY TRUE SOVEREIGN BEING THERE IS>every thing Jesus does or will do is to the GLORY OF THE FATHER.
Peace…………….gene

We need the vine.
Helpless unattached branches die.November 29, 2008 at 9:34 pm#112666GeneBalthropParticipantNick…….No we need whats makes the vine grow that the Spirit of God, because without that even the vine it self would die. You seem to worship Jesus higher then you do the Father, Your need to worship who Jesus worshiped and obeyed. That is the Father focus on the Father and He will let you understand what Jesus was saying and who he was saying it to. You might be getting the cart ahead of the Horse brother. Remember Jesus is a work of God not a work of Jesus, Jesus was giving us the Fathers Words not His own. The Father is not limited to Just Jesus as you seem to think.
love and peace to you and yours………………… gene

Jesus is the vine.
The Spirit is the life in the vine but Jesus is that vine.
You must be joined with Jesus Christ to share the life that God gives the vine.November 30, 2008 at 12:24 am#112681GeneBalthropParticipantNick……..right and it's God that puts you in the vine not yourself , It's the GRACE OF GOD. Some on there own try to join themselves to the vine but can not produce fruit and these God takes away, but the Father knows the fruit canes even as a pruner knows them and will leave those canes (branches) attached, for it is God who attached them. The true branches did not attach themselves. Only the false ones try to.

Sort of like magic or do we have choice?November 30, 2008 at 6:26 pm#112735GeneBalthropParticipantNick……….You seem to want to be the potter, not the clay. Think about it brother. You can call it magic if you want, but GOD is the (ONLY) creator there is and we shouldn't deny his SOVEREIGNTY over His creation. And it does say we are (CREATED) unto good works. It does not say, we create ourselves unto good works by our so-called free choices does it.
Love and peace to you and yours…………….gene

Some pots are appointed to wrath.

Use context, add the second verse and you get the intended meaning.12 So that, my beloved, according as you always obey, not as in my presence only, but now much rather in my absence, with fear and trembling, be carrying your own salvation into effect,
13 for it is God Who is operating in you to will as well as to work for the sake of His delight.Gives a different meaning when the intended meaning is given by not just picking out a statement out of context.
December 1, 2008 at 9:19 am#112834NickHassanParticipantCo,
God only lives and works in those who give him a home.The saved in Phillippi had that treasure within earthen vessels.
Natural man is unclean and not a vessel used by God.
God does not dwell in sinners.We must be made clean vessels
2tim 2.20fDecember 2, 2008 at 12:12 am#112892chosenoneParticipantAgreed, but it is God Who does it, not by our works.
December 2, 2008 at 12:35 am#112894NickHassanParticipantCO,
God cleanses vessels.
Sometimes He decides they are clean as with Cornelius.
Washing by the Word is another washing that God is said to accept.The main access in via a plea as in 1Peter 3
