It's not the exact words of God and I know that we have to be watchful for a different twist that can lead us astray but what do you think of the following? It's not exactly word for word of what the Teacher said while he was here but I think that the student did not fail to learn from him.
Sinner's Prayer - What the Bible Says About Sin Sin, according to the Bible, is any action that violates the law given by God in the Ten Commandments. The law was given by God to show us what it means to live a life deserving of God's love. It was also given to show us that none of us can live that kind of life. God knew that in advance, and that is why He sent His Son Jesus to be that perfect life for us. Jesus, God in human flesh, voluntarily laid aside His God-hood to connect with us, to show us He understands us and to give us a way to be reconciled to the Father, since none of us can keep the law to its letter. "For all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23).
Did you notice that the student of the Teacher did not use any of his words to condemn anyone with the words that came out of his mouth? Rather he or she used them to inspire.
DA; Is this an honest inquire seeking another view, or is it a set-up question?
Either way I will try to answer as I see the isssues.
Sinner's Prayer - What the Bible Says About Sin Sin, If weonly take the wordsfound contained in the bible, it says that "we knowGod heareth not a sinners prayer" Don't twist what I said. I believe in a prayer of true repentance from the heart. I don't believe there is any value in a "repete after me" type prayer.according to the Bible, is any action that violates the law given by God in the Ten Commandments.The bible says plainly that "to him that knoweth to do good and doeth it not, to him it is sin". I accept sins on commission, and sins of omission, but have trouble with sins without the knowledge of good and evil being involved.The law was given by God to show us what it means to live a life deserving of God's love. The law of sin and evil was given before man fell. The lawbrought the knowledge of sin, and made sin exceeding sinful. The law ofMoses was given as a schoolmasterto bring us unto Christ.It was also given to show us that none of us can live that kind of life. Are you declaring Jesus a failure?, and Calvary with the sacrifice of Jesus an incomplete work? Did Jesus save us in our sins, OR from our sins? Are we still the servants of sin" OR Sons of God, and heirs of the promise? Who is our master? We cannot serve two master! Choose you this day whom ye will serve. Some choose to continue in sin, I choose to live under the canopy of the Blood of the slain Lamb ofGod that has madeus free from sin and condemnation.God knew that in advance, God knows all things from the beginning unto the ending, and declares those thing which be not, as though they already wereand that is why He sent His Son Jesus to be that perfect life No, we are notcleansed from sin by the life of the Passover Lamb, but by the death of the perfect Lamb.for us. Jesus, God in human flesh, voluntarily laid aside His God-hood again I disagree, God didn't lay aside anything, God took on himself the form of a servant.to connect with us, to show us He understands us and to give us a way to be reconciled to the Father, A new covanent established upon better promises, by a new and living way. Not a dead letter written on stone.since none of us can keep the law to its letter. "For all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23). So God has now written his laws on the fleshly tables of our heart that we might be able to fulfill the righteousness of the old law, through the power that now liveth in us. Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world! We are now in the world, but not of the world. We are partakers of The Kingdom of God, translated into the Kingdom of his dear Son! We are not servants of sin, but servants of righteousness, because our King is a righteous King! There is no unrighteousness found in him! The Son knew no sin and there was no guile found in his mouth. We are now joint heirs with him. Bone of his bone, flesh of his flesh! Now ARE we the Sons of God, and it doeth not yet appear what we shall be, but when we shall see him we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.
Did you notice that the student of the Teacher did not use any of his words to condemn anyone with the words that came out of his mouth? He hath one that judgeth him, the Word which I have spoken shall judge him in the last days.Rather he or she used them to inspire. My word has found no place in you. You are of your father the devil and his works ye will do. Therefore you hear not my words, because you are of your father the devil and his works you will do. Real inspirational to those he was speaking to. Jo said, He that sinneth is of the devil. He that is born of God sinneth not for he is born of God.
DA That is afew of the many things that the Bible says.
Yes we must guard against anything, or anyone that would pervert what the bible says. Add just one word! Take just one word away!, and it is no longer Gods word, but the words of Men.
This is the VICTORY that overcometh the world, even our faith.
I'm honored that you concider my humble openion worthy of looking at,even if you may not agree, or understand where I am always coming from. Over the years, I have come to see many things differently than I did in my younger years. It is much like ones schooling. The math proffessor sees math much differently than he did when he entered kindergarten, but in all his advanced learning, 2+2 still equals four. Nothing really changed, it was just expanded to an advanced form of the same thing. As we grow, we are told to get knowledge, and with that knowledge, get understanding.
Many don't understand all that they know about the bible. That can become the root of many false doctrines. If any lack wisdom, let him ask of God, who giveth to all men liberally and upbraideth not.
Snooky, what do you think about this?
