So you're saved before you actually "believe", because "believe" is something you "do"?

Sort of like this?....... 27 And the keeper of the prison awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, he drew out his sword, and would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been fled. 28 But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are...

Your statement, not mine. Of course "believe" is a verb; and so are words like "love" "hate", "be" and "exist". Did you "hear" the word of God when you got saved? Was that works? Because "hear" is a verb too. Sir, by "works" we mean things like "giving to charity", "going to church" or...

I will try to answer each one. Once again; "believing" on The Lord Jesus Christ is not a "work", neither is it a "deed". That is correct, He saves us on HIS own terms. He gives every man "the measure of faith". How you appropriate that faith is YOUR CHOICE. That is the way God designed...

Yes, absolutely Galatians 5: 16This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. 17For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. 18But if ye...

In this respect, there are two(2) applications to the word "saved": Upon being "born again", one is saved from the penalty of sin(Hell). But throughout the Christian life, through progressive sanctification, one is being "saved" from the practice of sin. When a person is born again, they now...

Yes, and I already aknowledged that early on. I gave you "Tasso" as that Greek word. You said it was the wrong word, remember?

Yes sir, I believe God inspired men of God who wrote it down in Hebrew and Greek. What you told me was, that the Greek word "tasso" was not the correct word and I don't recall you giving me the "Hebrew" one unless Tetagmenoi(sp?) was it. I will study that when I get time, and get back to you on it.

Some seem to have a propensity for accusing others of things they never said, then refuting those things. Don't they call that "strawman" argument or something like that? I never said God inspired the King James Version. I do, however, believe God "preserves" His "pure" word and is faithful in...

My Wife and I took a trip up there last month. It's ginormous. The art, displays and craftsmanship are second to none. Nice restaurant there too; food was good and very reasonable.

It's no biggy brother...thanks :) That's correct. he is not willing that any should perish. But in the judgment when He finally tells the lost "depart from me......I never knew you", that word "knew" means that He never knew them as children, BECAUSE although THEY professed to know Jesus, they...

This is an excerpt from a Middle English document, written sometime in the late 14th century, which shows another way that the word "ordained" was originally used. Now, the primary way it's used is to refer to the commissioning of a minister, but the English language changes over time: something...

The context of this part of the chapter is that the Gospel was preached to the Jews and they rejected it. So it was then presented to the Gentiles who accepted it gladly. Verse 48 says they "were ordained", a state of being which mentions no "ordainer". You have to assume who the ordainer was...

No sir. The verse does not say that God ordained this. You have to assume it. And there are far worse things than looking foolish.

Yes Sir. The Bible says the "Comforter" convinces the world of "sin, righteousness, and judgement" John 16:7,8 And the "Comforter" is the Holy Ghost John 14:26 One says sin, the other says "temperance": but it's referring to the same thing. Felix was "trembling" because Paul had just told him...

If I may,. I would like to pick up a conversation which was ended in another thread..... SheepWhisperer said....... Since the verse doesn't give the name of anyone or anything which "ordained" them, could it occur to you that the verb "ordained" is in the "static" or "stative passive" voice...

No sir. God dealt with Felix' heart by The Holy Ghost, THEN Felix rejected and God allowed him to do so. And the King of Glory, was knocking on hearts' doors long before Revelation 3:20 Psalm24 6This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek thy face, O Jacob. Selah. 7Lift up your...

The Greek word is "tasso" τάσσω tássō, tas'-so; a prolonged form of a primary verb (which latter appears only in certain tenses); to arrange in an orderly manner, i.e. assign or dispose (to a certain position or lot):—addict, appoint, determine, ordain, set. Genesis 1:1 (KJV) And they preached...

Yes sir. For example; the hijackers on 911 had so "ordered" their lives to their false concept of and afterlife, they were willing to kill themselves for it. But you won't understand that if you don't understand what the word "ordained" once meant.

That is correct. His own evil heart. And God did not fail to "predetermine him" from the foundation of the world, or choose not to "enable" him. God "stood at his door and knocked" just like He does for everybody else.
