rogerant wrote: Are you saying then, that God is still angry towards or at you? We are not perfect YET!YES our Father will, does and can get angry at us and righteously so - BECAUSE we still sin. Because HE is our Father! He will chastise His children and anger is not negative in God - it is righteous. Psalm 30:5 For HIS ANGER endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning. #Was God angry with David? Psalm 38:3 There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine anger; neither is there any rest in my bones because of my sin. Psalm 56:7 Shall they escape by iniquity? in thine anger cast down the people, O God. Psalm 74:1 O God, why hast thou cast us off for ever? why doth thine anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture? God uses His anger in a positive sense like all His attributes. Psalm 78:21 Therefore the LORD heard this, and was wroth: so a fire was kindled against Jacob, and anger also came up against Israel; etc! etc!! He does also turn His anger away Psa 78:38 But he, being full of compassion, forgave their iniquity, and destroyed them not: yea, MANY A TIME turned he his anger away, and did not stir up all his wrath. |

rogerant wrote: Can a believer provoke God to anger? If a beleiver can provoke God or the Holy Spirit to anger, then he is as good as dead. Because anger must be propitiated. Yes! Propitiation for sin - not anger!"What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?" Can you sin in your body? If so that would anger the Spirit. After all HE is not exactly going to be happy about it is HE? All of the Trinity have the attribute of righteous anger. Our Father knows His children all too well and I'm sure many of His children provoke Him to anger by sin. Also this advice in Ephesians to Christians reminds us of the sin remaining in us which we are to learn to control and reject. 23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; 24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. 25 Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another. 26 Be ye ANGRY, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your WRATH: Remember also Paul's teaching about sin in Romans 7:14ff |

We should remember God's involvement!Sanctification. WCG 13:1. They who are effectually called and regenerated, having a new heart and a new spirit created in them, are further sanctified, really and personally, through the virtue of Christ's death and resurrection,(a) by his Word and Spirit dwelling in them;(b) the dominion of the whole body of sin is destroyed,(c) and the several lusts thereof are more and more weakened and mortified,(d) and they more and more quickened and strengthened, in all saving graces,(e) to the practice of true holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord.(f) (a). Acts 20:32; Rom 6:5-6; 1 Cor 6:11; Phil 3:10. (b). John 17:17; Eph 5:26; 2 Thes 2:13. (c). Rom 6:6, 14. (d). Rom 8:13; Gal 5:24. (e). Eph 3:16-19; Col 1:11. (f). 2 Cor 7:1; Heb 12:14. Ro 6:6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. |

If you "hear" by human ear alone then you will not be converted.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. The Word preached on its own does not convert. Faith must be in the human heart before preaching works to convert. Saving Faith being the gift of God. Therfore! Only God can make the word/preaching an instrument of HIS purpose unto salvation. This then implies that God alone saves His Elect chosen from the beginning of the world. The Word is an instrument, which without faith/Spirit is but a history book. |

On sovereignty of God.Did Jesus believe in a sovereign God? Jesus teaching is; I came not to do my will but the will of God. We may argue that Jesus 'will' is in complete harmony with His Father. Yet He makes this point, always deferring to God. EG:: Matt 12.50, 26.39, Luke 22.42, John 4.34, 5.30, 6.38/39. Jo 5.30 I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me. Now if Jesus defers to His Father on "will" why do some who call themselves Christian seek to establish the will of the sinner at the most crucial point, - viz coming to christ - as the operation of the will of man? Note the Holy Spirit also defers to God. "Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall NOT SPEAK OF HIMSELF; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come." John 16:13. |

The state of the world is never a good reason for making decisions on evangelism, religion or theology. As to fighting wars with guns etc, we can see that God commanded His people to take over a country and kill the people there, - viz Canaan. Obviously God is more concerned with eternal life than He is with temporal life. We as people of God and followers of Christ will never be accepted in this current worldly existence. Because of Him (His name) not because of us. We are strangers in a strange place walking a tightrope by faith, and not by sight. The Son of God was persecuted, beaten and crucified by all that is worldly then and now. We can expect no less, but to lay down our lives for the object of our faith, Christ Jesus.John 15:20 Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also. 21 But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me. Luk 12:51 Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division |
