@ Lurker,I noticed what M.Henry said of Paul's blindness, at least what I heard is that God is immortal, and the original of immortality; he only has immortality (1Ti_6:16), for he cannot die. He is invisible, for he cannot be seen with mortal eyes, dwelling in the light to which no man can approach, whom no man hath seen nor can see, 1Ti_6:16. He is the only wise God (Jud_1:25); he only is infinitely wise, and the fountain of all wisdom. “To him be glory for ever and ever,” or, “Let me be for ever employed in giving honour and glory to him, as the thousands of thousands do,” Rev_5:12, Rev_5:13. Christ's revelation of his Divinity to Paul was not with eyes but with faith communicated by a heavenly vision again not seen with eyes but with his mind. But ye have the mind of Christ. |

B. McCausland wrote: A sound ‘parameter’ for many. The Greek term euangélion translated as Gospel is made of: eû (good) and aggelos (messanger)” conveying the idea of “good message proclaimed” the term has ‘shifted’ meaning... minimum of correct theological jargon.. by which one 'gets right' with God. The biblical ‘euangélion‘ is inexhaustible, yet out of convenience it has become synthetic, stifled, and shorn of the entire Bible context. We hold special ‘Gospel’ meetings... This makes me think of 2 things. 1. First that the Head of the Church sends men to preach the gospel. Men with an internal and external call because faith cometh by hearing by and hearing by the Word of God. A preacher is required and therefore sent by Christ, the Master of the His house. Men can run unsent, but it isn't a 'good' idea 2. Of usurpers of world dominion -Jer 50:44 Behold, he shall come up like a lion from the swelling of Jordan unto the habitation of the strong: but I will make them suddenly run away from her: and who is a chosen man, that I may appoint over her? for who is like me? and who will appoint me the time? and who is that shepherd that will stand before me? |

Still working my way through the edifying comments.@ Lurker on Comment to Ladybug 9/4/15 2:20AM see Rom 7:7-11 I understand this to mean that Paul was alive once without the law because the sentence of death or the righteous judgment of a broken commandment had not broken in upon his understanding until Jehovah Jesus spoke to him as his Prophet/Priest/King. Nathan the prophet said to David 'Thou are the man.' David as chief magistrate had passed judgment upon the offender in general, as did Paul the Pharisee all those 'he' counted offenders, but Jesus Christ by an effectual call on the road to Damascus, and from that time, with an on going efficacy according to the seasons of divine appointment; brought personal repentance and faith in the Righteous One for acceptance with God. Act 9:5 And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks. Our Prophet by his word and Spirit convicts his elect in time and throughout their duration here during the war between the flesh and the spirit, that 'they are the man'. Paul's sin in Roman's 7 is covetousness but on the road to Damascus it was persecution of Christ, in the persecution of his members. See Geneva Notes on Romans 7:7-11 |

Ladybug wrote: Ecumenism and its supporters are exploding all over,... It seems the Vatican is now trying to distance itself from K. Davis and claims the meeting never should have happened Interesting, I checked back in and this reminded me I'd read the same last evening. Just now took a couple of notes on what I was listening to, while cleaning up in the kitchen. What I noted seems to fit here. It would seem the man of sin is covering all his bases."It is hard to run an empire without being inclusive." (from my notes) What I heard, together with my thoughts. In time the church of the earth and her bishop will'implode' or self destruct in answer to the prayers of the saints, offered by the Mediator, that are in agreement with the whole counsel of Scripture. Rev 13:11-12 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the 'earth'; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the 'earth' and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. Empires rise and fall at the decree of the King of kings and Lord of lords, who executes his decrees in the works of creation and providence. |

Mercy is for those who are pitiful, sin has made man to be pitied. Of this need the Immutable God has been aware before the foundations of the world. Eph.1:4 Yet he said to Moses and Paul repeats for our instruction: Rom 9:15-18 For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion. So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy. For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth. Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth. If one's beliefs are not in line with the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments that is a contradiction of God's revelation and a wile of Satan. Continued in, it will harden the heart and its receptiveness to truth. Pro 11:19-21 As righteousness tendeth to life: so he that pursueth evil pursueth it to his own death. They that are of a froward heart are abomination to the LORD: but such as are upright in their way are his delight. Though hand join in hand, the wicked shall not be unpunished: but the seed of the righteous shall be delivered. see S.Charnock |

Bro.McLeod/Bklyn,NY is to your comment, what Jason Cooley is to Old Paths Baptist, doesn't ring true. The Quran & sodomy have a mutual interest in American children? It doesn't seem they can share the preeminent position with humanism. It reminds me of a news item I read last evening; the US, Russia and France sharing Syrian airspace? When's the last time the public schools taught from Scripture? What was done about that? Staying on the subject, you ask: What are we going to do about it? The Scripture you refer to answers: Rom 9:29-33 And as Esaias said before, Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, we had been as Sodoma, and been made like unto Gomorrha. What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith. But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness. Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone; As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and *whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed*. See Romans 11 & Prov.3:1-7 Changing times for wild olive branches. |

Question 1&2 - Don't know that it is either but seems more likely to be a Jesuit ploy, according to the Scripture, if a western wide movement. 2Th 2:9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 2Th 2:10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 2Th 2:11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 2Th 2:12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. 2Th 2:13 But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because *God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:* Ques. 3 - Their reason probably power/money/pride.

What is 'read Rommel to beat him/tank studies' saying on the thread Islam quiz has U.S. parents 'outraged'? There were two things he stated I didn't understand? or maybe didn't want to? |

Jess wrote: Thanks for the recommendation, Mourner. And as we well remember, this happened in TN 2-3 weeks ago as well. May the Lord bless it to your instruction. I read it some time ago and did not forget it. How dependent we are on Christ to 'subdue us' to Himself, to 'rule over us' and 'defend us' from all His and our enemies. They are better known to Him than to us. O, How Worthy is the Captain of our Salvation. Rev5:12..Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing. Rev 5:13 And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever. He has reconciled his elect to God and in time makes it known to them, He ever lives to make intercession for them. He comes along side by His Holy Spirit and teaches us from His word the will of God for our salvation. May he separate his people more and more from their sin, and more and more unto conformity to his revealed will, their duty. Deut29:29 |

Traveler wrote: Get Real.. ..There is no fire in what they present or the view point. Mat 3:8 Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance: Mat 3:9 And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham. Mat 3:10 And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Mat 3:11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with *fire*: Mat 3:12 Whose fan is in *his* hand, and he will throughly purge *his* floor, and gather *his* wheat into the garner; but *he* will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire. Get real if I have been a stumbling block to you forgive me. See today's C.H. Spurgeon's Checkbook of Promises on sa @ Traveler, As for sitting in a place of 'pseudo attainment' I grant men may lay claim to territory not yet held by them, but as for the Head of the His Church, Jesus Christ; He is eternal and His attainments are perfect and his elect will be perfected in Him. Philippians 3:12-1 |

Trying to take in all that has been stated in this thread, I found what seemed to address the matter the best from C.H. Spurgeon's Daily Checkbook of Promises here on sa.Heb.4:9 There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. "Come, then, let us labor to enter into this rest. Let us quit the weary toil of sin and self. Let us cease from all confidence, even in those works of which it might be said, "They are very good." Have we any such? Still, let us cease from our own works, as God did from His. Now let us find solace in the finished work of our LORD Jesus. Everything is fully done: justice demands no more. Great peace is our portion in Christ Jesus. As to providential matters, the work of grace in the soul and the work of the LORD in the souls of others, let us cast these burdens upon the LORD and rest in Him." As states Heb 4:1 Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it. Heb 4:2 For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it. |
