Then we have real peace. When God forgives us as we repent, then that should be it. Php 4:7 And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus (AKJV) I really think that forgiving yourself is tied in with God forgiving us through Christ.

]]> Comment on Did Old Testament Saints “Look Forward” to the Cross? by theSpicket http://www.believingstudy.com/2009/03/31/did-old-testament-saints-look-forward-to-the-cross/comment-page-1/#comment-86 theSpicket Sat, 15 May 2010 03:30:30 +0000 http://www.believingstudy.com/?p=11#comment-86 Not to be contentious, now, but in I Corinthinans 1:17-22, the Apostle makes it more than clear that the gospel and the cross are indistinguishable. For certain, the cross without the resurrection makes us the most miserable of men, but the resurrection without the cross would mean only one Son for the Father - a Firstfruits without the harvest! Remember, it is the "Lamb as it had been slain" who is "worthy to take book, and to open the seals thereof," (Rev. 5:6,8) thus redeeming mankind.

First of all, you're trampling on the blood of the Son of man, which was shed on your behalf specificaly so your sins could be forgiven. You're also saying that your own sense of justice is of higher value and greater consequence than the justice of the living God. And let's just face the true motive behind your self-condemnation: you wish to appear repentant. However, there is no need for this; simply repent, and let the matter be settled on the basis of the true, Biblical faith once entrusted to you!

]]> Comment on The Sin of the Tower of Babel by Terrie Swartz http://www.believingstudy.com/2009/04/10/the-sin-of-the-tower-of-babel/comment-page-1/#comment-84 Terrie Swartz Thu, 13 May 2010 09:58:08 +0000 http://www.believingstudy.com/?p=18#comment-84 Hello, I understand were you are coming from, but that's not what I got from the scripture. I didn't take it as a sin. We have enough of those that the devil uses against us, for everything we do. To keep us away from Christ. I took the scripture to mean simple, that God needed to slow us down. I mean in the last 200 or more years we have advanced to fast. Man kind was all one language, they all could learn from each other new things faster. I mean if you look at most of our advance-ment in the last 200 years, it's because we get people from other countries, who are smart and gifted to work and think with our smart people. We have learned each others language and we share more ideals. And that is why I believe God wanted to slow them down. Man kind would have scattered anyway. God know that. But that's just my thoughts, nothing in stone. I just don't like to say everything is sin. I mean we went to the moon. And the earth has alot of poeple. And with imagination you would have this internet. Imagination is just an ideal waiting to happen and can be a good thing. Hello,

I have found that opportunity to quietly look at Scripture alone or with one or two can be more productive to understanding than having a debate where the final understanding is consensus rather than what the Scripture teaches.
