Gene,

I read the passages you have quoted but as I have repeatedly pointed out what I hear from them is not what you hear.

Kerwin…… no a man makes a decision by whats influencing him the most, before he even makes that choice, and if it is evil the natural consequences is what happens to him.

Are you claiming a person’s will is influenced by…[Read more]

Gene,

I am not understanding your answer but you seem to be saying a human being makes a choice and is responsible for the choice they make.

I am not sure how you believe someone that does not have free choice is responsible for their actions.

Perhaps a more brief answer would be more clear.

To whomever may be concerned;

This is Revelations 12 turned a parable.

The kingdom of heaven is like a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars: and she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered. And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great…

Wakeup,

The kingdom of heaven is like a woman who is giving birth …

Gene,

How can a man that has no free choice be responsible for their sin?
How can a human repent for sin they are not responsible for?

@Devolution,

What are you testing?

Journey,

I admit that everyone has a different measure of knowledge. But if one has been studying for 20 years or more, and his knowledge hasn’t increased, then his growth has been stunted. Jesus promised that if we walk with him, he will give us everything, all the deep secrets (solids), not just the milk.

Jesus feeds his sheep. He d…

@Journey42,

That’s right Kerwin, but we are allowed to seek this book and discuss it and learn, so that we do not lack in knowledge.
If we are lacking in knowledge then we have no covering and are naked.

The robe is the our new man which is created like God in true righteousness and holiness. Each of us has only that knowledge that God r…[Read more]

Gene,

Gentiles were separate from God for it is written:

Ephesians 2:12-13Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)

12 that at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: 13 but now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes…

Gene,

Luke 13:3Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)

3 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.

Should I explain English to you who I believe should know it?
I tell you Jesus is telling all that hear him that except they choose to repent that they will perish.
Why do you choose to deny it?

2 Peter…

Gene,

We have already discussed this. God drags/draws by their own desires which is why it is written than blessed be they that hunger and to be like God in true righteousness and holiness as they achieve their desire and why it is said of those that are not drawn by God is that they do not want to come into the light. We are instructed that…[Read more]

T8,

Who do you call the early church father’s. The Jesus and the apostles are the only ones I recognize. Luke and Mark qualify as well.

T8,

When Wisdom is he. it is because wisdom was begotten.

That is a traditional teaching but I do not know the reasoning behind it. It is certainly not literally taught in Scripture.

Wakeup,

God SPEAKS in wisdom. He created all things by speaking out His Word.

I agree with that as well as with the idea that wisdom is in God’s word. I do not know of anywhere in Scripture where Wisdom is called God’s woman but it is not a new idea as she has been called both his wife and daughter is some ancient documents.

Journey,

Prophecy is at best of secondary importance. History is even less though it and prophecy can both serve to aid strengthening the faith. The most important think is to do all God commands which is why Jesus teaches us to seek first God’s righteousness and his kingdom.

Yes, I will use everything to strengthen my faith I can but first I…[Read more]

Gene,

Eze 11:18-19…And I WILL GIVE them one heart, and I WILL PUT A NEW SPIRIT WITHIN YOU; AND I will take the STONY HEART, out of there flesh, and give them a heart of flesh.

We already have discussed this since it is clear that the change in a person comes by choosing to live by the Spirit and the Spirit can only be received and lived by u…[Read more]

Gene,
I was pointing out you were hearing what Satan wanted you to hear and then I used the meaning of English words to reveal that I heard a different message. A message of those that hear the voice of God and then choose to rebel against his call or to listen to it. I hear how God then chose the ones who did not harder their hearts.

There…[Read more]

To any that are concerned,

Isaiah 3:16 is about whoring after strange gods, aka strange doctrines. Many humans do this today even a multitude of those that call themselves either Christians or Jews. It is so desolate that I hope that it is done because of true lack of knowledge but fear it is done because of the rejection of the truth by the…[Read more]

journey42,

My point is that you test your own teachings before they come out of your mouth. If it is not important then why bother mentioning it. If it is then strive to make sure what you are saying is true.

The title of the thread is excellent and in my experience true and something each human that follows Jesus keeps in mind. A believer is…[Read more]
