Quote (t8 @ Mar. 17 2005,11:25)First of all I hold to the view that it is only in Christ that we can be saved. But that said, we know that those who followed the Law (in spirit) were saved as the Law leads us to Christ and speaks of him. We know that many lived before Christ came to earth, but that through Law and conscience they could know God.…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 17 2005,03:15)Hi,Perhaps spheres, in the interests of finding truth and possible agreement in Christ, you could give us your take on 1Cor 7.14f”For the unbelieving husband is sanctified THROUGH HIS WIFE, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified THROUGH HER BELIEVING HUSBAND;for otherwise your children are unclean, BUT NOW…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 17 2005,00:49)Hi cubes and MM, Can we look at Jn 3.3f. Here is Yeshua speaking to a fully grown man:”..Truly, truly I say to you, unless one is Born AGAIN, he cannot see the kingdom of God…   Truly truly ,I say to you , unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of heaven….    Do no…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 16 2005,02:48)Hi cubes, There is indeed “no other name” under heaven than that of Jesus in whom “we” are promised salvation.There is no other gospel for us to preach than that “You must be born again of water and the Spirit to enter the kingdom of God”.Hi Nick, I think the key word you used here is “promised.” That says…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 15 2005,23:43)Hi cubes, It is “wow” stuff.Jn 3.18f” He that believes in him IS NOT JUDGED;he who does not believed has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. This is the judgement, that the Light has comne into the world and men loved the darkness rather than the…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 15 2005,21:21)Hi cubes, We are the exception to the Hebrews verse as we are already deadand alive again in Christ. We are the many, the ones eagerly awaiting his return .Wow. Now how about Rev 20:12, 15Rev:20:12 And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God and books were opened. And another book was opened,…[Read more]

In our day to day lives, I can't think of anything that is done without design:  eg. cooking a meal, the cars we drive, a garment, etc.  Thus when I consider the universe and all that is in it, I find it hard to believe that there is no designer.The scientific study of nature reveals design and purpose, as well as beauty.  I am yet to ap…[Read more]

Hi Nick,I have not made a separation b/n those who are resurrected.  I thought that all would be judged based on:Hebrew 9:27 And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment, 28 so Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many. To those who eagerly wait for Him He will appear a second time, apart from sin, for…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 12 2005,06:31)Thank you cubes, How many miracles did Jesus do in Nazareth? He was almost disempowered by the unbelief in that town. How can this generation expect miracles with the same attitude? It sounds like the Pharisees asking for a sign or Thomas needing to put his hand into the wounds of Jesus. The lack is not in…[Read more]

It is an undisputed fact that the salvation brought by Jesus is not one of our works and I am sure you do not need me to show you the scriptures. If judgement is primarily of works then most…[Read more]

Hi Evangelion:Here is a story of healing that happened to a member of my family, to which I was an eye witness.A child in my family suffered severe multiple skull fractures and multiple internal injuries that rendered him paralyzed, blind, deaf etc. He even lost his ability to eat/swallow and lost all reflexes. He suffered seizures almost…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 11 2005,20:19)Hi cubes,Matt 19.16f is interesting. Compare it with all the other discussions on the OT Law Jesus had with the Jews and in this one only he showed there was a new covenant. He offered the rich young man the advice to sell all and follow him. That is the same thing as he said to Nicodemus because the first…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 11 2005,02:10)Hi cubes , You need to read the first part of Rev 20 to see a repeat of 2 Tim 2 12.Hi Nick,Here's NKJV's Revelations 20:20Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, having the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. 2 He laid hold of the dragon, that serpent of old, who is the Devil and…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 11 2005,02:05)Hi cubes, We must not confuse the Reiterated OT law given to The Jews who asked what they must”DO” to be saved with the Law of Christ.Hi Nick,I need further clarification on that. I am thinking of the man who was told to go sell everything and give to the poor and come follow Jesus (MATT 19:16-23), also of…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 10 2005,22:35)Hi cubes, The OT commandments were given to the Jews as part of the Law and apply to them. Are you a Jew? If you are a gentile like me you are outside of that covenant.The law is very useful to us and teaches us a lot about God and what pleases and displeases Him. And they never disappear and remain as a…[Read more]

Contrary to popular belief, love is not unconditional. It is very much conditional!

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 10 2005,18:08)Hi Human,What many do not realise is that the “sheep and goat  judgement” of Matt 25.31 is for the world and not for the Church. It is a judgement of God's mercy for those outside of the new covenant, the otherwise unsaved.It is plain that it is a judgement of “Works” and we are not saved by our own…[Read more]
