If Jesus Joined This Forum . . .

[Inquisitor]

In fact, our Messiah would probably be kicked off of every "christian" forum there is.

I am not sure whether Jesus would have His account removed.

Though there would be no doubt that some folk would disagree with some of His posts.

Perhaps some viewpoints in eschatology would be one area of disagreement.

There would be disagreement with folk about politics and Christianity.

Room for debate over the nation of Israel and His viewpoint.

Conflict in posts concerned with wealth and the love of God.

Arguments about unity and divisions in the Christian world.

In fact, it's reasonable to assume there would be many points of disagreement.
Given the range and scale of theology within Christianity.

^
No doubt if Jesus said that He died for the whole world and it meant for everyone ever born (like Paul called them God's Offspring), there's a specific doctrine that would call Jesus a liar to His face and say He only died for the saved people.

 

[Cameron143]

I need clarification.

Obviously a supporter of the Calvinist theology, that goes without saying.

But the real question would then be, is it three point Calvinism, four point Calvinism,
five point Calvinism, or Hyper-Calvinism?

He would be called Calvinist by Arminians, Arminian by Calvinists, Pentecostal by the Presbyterians, Reformed by Holiness. And of course, the religious leaders of all denominations would be upset at Him pointing out their hypocrisy.

We would have to go through point by point on the rest.

I am not so sure Jesus would even want to join this forum - but, if He did join, He would certainly bring a whip and start turning tables over, etc. - to correct and "set straight" some of the outlandish ideas expressed in some of the threads of this forum...

(I have not really read any of this thread; if someone else has [essentially] said this, I would probably wholeheartedly agree.)

 

[Prodigal]

Now that's funny right there.
He would almost certainly be called a Calvinist.

 

[PaulThomson]

When He began talking to you, would He find you to be more like His Disciple or like a Pharisee, Sadducee, and teacher of the Law?

He has joined this forum and has spoken to many people many times.

Perfect and profound!

By whom? .Those who agree with Him don't call Him Calvinist. And Calvinists give Him a bouquet of heretic titles.

2ndTimeIsTheCharm said:
I don't know if He'll join an internet forum

What? No saints here? Not one?

Sometimes a joke is just a joke.

Lol I love this question. I've been on for a day and have already encountered some unfriendly people.

I think that a good follow up question would be. That if the Lord was in this forum, would people be able to recognize him and heed his counsel?

 

[McPhersonX]

Maybe an unpopular and provocative verse in relation to this question, but...

John 10:26-29

He would preach the gospel and let the word seperate light and dark

John 10:27-28

“Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.”
‭‭John‬ ‭18:37‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”
‭‭John‬ ‭8:31-32‬ ‭KJV‬

“I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine. And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.

My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: and I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand. I and my Father are one.”
‭‭John‬ ‭10:14, 16, 27-30‬ ‭

“Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;

…But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints; neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.

For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. Be not ye therefore partakers with them.

For ye were sometimes darkness,

but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light: (for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth) proving what is acceptable unto the Lord.”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭5:1, 3-10‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.”

Most would do what they do best - argue. They would first show Jesus through scripture how he did no miracles and how He didn’t rise from the dead. Basically, they would spend late nights and long hours arguing against any truth or experience He claimed to have had.

Then they would pat themselves on the back for winning their argument.

Think about it, brother - Jesus is with us in this forum. In fact, He is with us every moment of every day.

As Christ's disciples, we have the gift of the Holy Spirit dwelling within us. God is one: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Since we have the Holy Spirit living within us, Jesus is living within us as well. God is omniscient and omnipresent!

mmhmm his spirit is in us giving us strength and life it’s just a matter of accepting the spirit and truth

“It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.”
‭‭John‬ ‭6:63‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.”
‭‭John‬ ‭18:37‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things. Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he.”
‭‭John‬ ‭4:24-26‬ ‭KJV‬‬

it’s really Important because

“Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.”
‭‭1 John‬ ‭4:1‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.”
‭‭2 Peter‬ ‭2:1-2‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; and they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.”
‭‭2 Timothy‬ ‭4:3-4‬ ‭

So when it comes to the holy spirit

“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.

….. If ye love me, keep my commandments. And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; even the Spirit of truth;

whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him:

but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.

He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.

Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?

Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.

These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you. But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.”
‭‭John‬ ‭14:6-7, 15-17, 20-26‬ ‭KJV‬‬

what I’m saying brother is if we hear the gospel and believe yes indeed he’s always with us it’s his promise

but if we reject his word we’re rejecting the way his spirit gets into our mind and hearts and changes us

“So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭10:17‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭4:12‬ ‭KJV‬‬

hes able to tbrough his word being received change us the word is the vehicle for the spirit
