Some of your quotes, James, Hebrews, are for the twelve tribes, Jews. Gentiles were not included in that era (Eph2:11-12).Here are some scriptures from Pauls epistles, (for the “nations”)Eph.1:6 according as He chooses us in Him before the disruption of the world, we to be holy and flawless in His sight,Eph.2:8-9 For in grace, through faith,…[Read more]

No scripture saying Adam was made in His image. “Let us make man in our image”, future tense.

A God that can't do what He wants? What about “All My desires I WILL DO” (Isaiah)

But they rejected Him, how could they have been saved? Come on, you can do better than that!

Nick. You forgot to show us an example. How can we learn your miraculous revelations when someone is attacking “the foundations of truth”? Maybe this way you could impart in us some of your wisdom???We won't hold our breath.

Nick. Wrong again, the saved are the “ecclesia”, where one is niether Jew or gentile, those chosen of God. Hebrews is for the unrepented Jews. Who will be in favour once again when the “new Covenant” is made with them, Heb.8:8-12 prophesied also in Jer.31:31.Your welcome.

We sometimes spank our children, does that mean we do not love them? Of course not, we do it for correction, to teach them it was wrong what they did. It was neccessary for their benifit, we did it BECAUSE we love them. Does not God use evil for our benifit, yes He does. When man does evil it is sin, when God uses evil it is done to reach…[Read more]

Hi 942767. One must remeber, that “Hebrews” is written to Israel. See the begining of the first chapter. Now regarding your Quote:Under the law, one who sinned “presumptuously” (Nu.15:30), or, as the Hebrew has it, “with a high hand”, was to be cut off from among his people, because he had despised the word of Jehovah and broken His…[Read more]

Still preaching repentence, and asking forgiveness? Didn't need Christs sacrifice? Doing it all yourself?Good luck.

Hi Gene. “God wills that all mankind be saved, that none should perish”… Poor God, He wants to accomplish something, but is not powerfull enough to overcome mans will. (Nicks gospel, unbelievable one could think this way.)God Bless.

Hi dk. A very interesting post, this should get a lot of divisive reaction. A couple of good ones to start by epistemaniac, very deeply thought out with some good scriptures, well done. I will post my beliefs when time permits, and I'll have to very carefully chose my words for this one.Blessings.

Is your God so weak, that we have to grovel around, and try to find Gods' will, so that we can try and do it?Eph.1:11 God IS operating all in accord with the council of HIS WILL. Do you not understand this scripture?

I guess you need a reminder… Though the title, “Hebrews” is not inspired, the opening strain shows that this epistle is addressed to Israelites “whose are the fathers” (Ro. 9:5), and who alone had the oracles of God. No author is given. This is an inspired omission. It is a grave mistake to seek to supply one. It is fatal to put Paul's name…[Read more]

Still preaching “Old Covenant” stuff to us who are Under “Grace”, not the “Law”. When will you learn?

Gods will WILL BE DONE, it doesn't matter whether we seek Gods will so we can do it, as if God is helpless without our permission.Its not about us at all, “God 'IS' operating ALL, in accord with the councel of HIS WILL”. (Eph.1:11).

Quote (gollamudi @ July 11 2008,01:25)Hi brothers,We are always deviating from the topic and landing into personal insults. I think that's not in good taste for a christian forum.ThanksAdamHi Adam. Right again, I keep slipping back, sorry.Jerry.

God will wake you when in His time He chooses to do so. …who is the saviour of ALL mankind.

Of course, under the “Old Covenant” and under the”Law”, obedience and works were required of the Jews.Today, we are under the covenant of “Grace”, the “flesh cannot please God”. But some keep trying anyway.
