Admin	Arrogance towards God! Posted : 18 May, 2010 06:06 PM Its hard for a fish to know its wet. Its hard for man to know his arrogance towards God! how dare we question the creator about why or how he has created?we have no right.a painting does not speak back to the painter,or a pot to the potter. A fish doesnt know its wet,because all there is is wet a man doesnt know his arrogance,because all there is ,is arrogance In the book of Job,god is fundementally saying,shutup man and listen,I will do what I will do because I know better than you,do not question me,it is not your place.....I am th teacher,you are the learner.....it is not your place to question me. in Christ steve Post Reply

View Profile History	Arrogance towards God! Posted : 18 May, 2010 11:16 PM Your point here is so true. I just read a really great blog entry awhile ago from the Boundless Webzine that discusses God's sovereignty (in times of hardship and persecution). It's such a great reminder that God really does know what he's doing... and that we don't... We are completely lost w/out Him and have absolutely no basis to argue with Him or to doubt Him. Isaiah 40 and 45 are my go-to chapters when I really need a good reminding of who God is and who I am in respect to that. Post Reply

Posted : 19 May, 2010 05:13 AM Yes Pixy Isaiah 40-45 is incredible,I just now read through it now,I wanted to copy the whole book!But this one really stood out to me, 10 � You are My witnesses,� says the LORD, � And My servant whom I have chosen, That you may know and believe Me, And understand that I am He. Before Me there was no God formed, Nor shall there be after Me. 11 I, even I, am the LORD, And besides Me there is no savior. 12 I have declared and saved, I have proclaimed, And there was no foreign god among you; Therefore you are My witnesses,� Says the LORD, �that I am God. 13 Indeed before the day was, I am He; And there is no one who can deliver out of My hand; I work, and who will reverse it?� 14 Thus says the LORD, your Redeemer, The Holy One of Israel: Or the verse before that are great too! � Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; You are Mine. 2 When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, Nor shall the flame scorch you. 3 For I am the LORD your God, The Holy One of Israel, your Savior; I gave Egypt for your ransom, Ethiopia and Seba in your place. 4 Since you were precious in My sight, You have been honored, And I have loved you; Therefore I will give men for you, And people for your life. 5 Fear not, for I am with you; I will bring your descendants from the east, And gather you from the west; 6 I will say to the north, �Give them up!� And to the south, �Do not keep them back!� Bring My sons from afar, And My daughters from the ends of the earth� 7 Everyone who is called by My name, Whom I have created for My glory; I have formed him, yes, I have made him.� 8 Bring out the blind people who have eyes, And the deaf who have ears. 9 Let all the nations be gathered together, And let the people be assembled. Who among them can declare this, And show us former things? Let them bring out their witnesses, that they may be justified; Or let them hear and say, �It is truth.� 10 � You are My witnesses,� says the LORD, Okay,ILL stop. In Christ Steve Post Reply

Posted : 20 May, 2010 11:02 AM A man-centered gospel is the belief that the determining factor in whether or not a man is eternally saved, in the end, relies (at some level) upon an act of his own will i.e. human decision. This is often called synergism because it is thought to be a cooperative effort between God and man. While a God-centered Gospel means that man has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with causing his salvation by �choosing God,� �deciding to follow Christ,� �asking Jesus into your heart,� and/or any other like phrases so common today. Sola fide and sola gratia as used in the Protestant Reformation mean that while the sinner is dead in his trespasses and sins God Himself sovereignly regenerates those whom He will. As His gift God gives them the faith to believe in Christ, and they repent of their sins. This is actually diametrically opposed to any of the seeker-friendly postevangelical movements e.g. the Purpose Driven Life as taught by Rick Warren. The sad fact is that the contemporary American Christian Church largely believes in synergism (man cooperates with God), while in stark opposition to the synergism of apostate Roman Catholicism, the Reformers (even before John Calvin) taught monergism (soli Deo gloria). Yet to a great extent today the Emerging Church movement overall, and voices in this Emergent rebellion against Sola Scriptura like Rob Bell in particular, also strongly believe in synergism (at best). - Ken Silva Post Reply

Why would you try to promote the opinion's of men above the word of God? I realize you like to say I don't make sense, but it is not about me, this is a bible forum, and the topic should be Jesus, the word of God. Post Reply

Posted : 20 May, 2010 10:54 PM When you decide to walk with God, with the will he has given all men to choose him, Steve, you put away childish things such as systems, theroys, and the mind and reasoning, for he says they are at enmity with him.

Posted : 21 May, 2010 11:35 AM The relevance to that statement, is self explanatory, the mind, the brain, have nothing to do with knowing god, they need the word of God that they may be saved, that is why you see so much error amongst Christians today, they allow the man of sin or carnal man to dominate them. As for my brain cells they are continually being renewed by the word of God, Hallelujah!! Post Reply
