Is, Was and Will Be – The Unknown Character of Christ and His Word

Tags archives: Responsibility versus Accountability

  • Mike, Sorry, I hit the wrong button. I just want to say thanks for taking the time on my question Sunday about being accountable and sovereignty. You said we give account, and that might help my detractor, but I doubt it, for it is pretty much what I told him. I have read the account of Josep... [read more]
  • Hi Mike,   Quick question for you or somebody you think can answer it.  You say all the characters in the Bible, like Job, King David, Samuel, Peter etc.. are all types of ourselves.  God has opened my eyes to see that is definitely true, even really terrible betrayers of Christ ... [read more]
  • Hi Mike, I'm confused about why we are to experience what God says to stay away from. Does living by every word mean I am supposed to have intercourse with animals? Thanks, M____ What this question really boils down to is the same question Paul poses in Rom 9, where he reveals to us that G... [read more]
  • Hi Mike, I was just wondering if you've ever thought that Judas will be in the millennial reign of Christ, as although he went and betrayed Christ perhaps he had little choice in the matter. I could well be wrong. If so,could you shed some light on the matter. I realize he will be saved either wa... [read more]
  • Mike, I read through "After the Counsel of His own will" several times and have gone over the scriptures, but I am blind as a lump of clay in the Potter's hand.

  • Hi Mike, Sorry for the misunderstanding. As you have said before, I 'cut to the chase' and my tendency to do that leaves me open to being misunderstood or not being sufficiently verbose to convey my thought and meaning to my audience. So, I am afraid it is a matter of words and/ or you missed the po... [read more]
  • Mike, Isn't accountable just another word for responsible? According to the dictionary and a Google search, they both have the same meaning. Would you please explain? Thanks, A____ Hi A____, Thank you for your question. This question allows me to make the point that we cannot rel... [read more]
  • Hi J____, I will go line by line through this letter and give God's Word and contrast God's Word with the carnal minded reasoning of your friend. Your friend, as I myself once did and all carnal minds do, fails to see the difference between the ability to choose based upon the causes he himself admi... [read more]
  • Hello Mike, I have been studying the writings at the web site and have a question. Since God is sovereign and controls everything including our actions, why does He tell us to be obedient? Does He cause us to be obedient or not to be? Does He cause only those very elect that He has chosen to overco... [read more]
  • Greetings again, I sent this to family members sometime back about the subject of "Generational Curses." It's believed that even as a believer you can still be under generational curses if you don't seek deliverance, not from God, but from a professed preacher who specializes in deliverance, and th...
