1021 | do all babies and children go to heaven | 2 Sam 12:23 | CDBJ | 108174 | ||
Hi Wanda B. And welcome to the forum. I agree with what you are saying about those that aren’t accountable for their actions. There is also another way to say the same thing; they haven’t willingly rejected God’s plan for eternal life by refusing to trust in God’s Son so their names haven’t been blotted out of the book of life. The omniscience of God knew from eternity past that many wouldn’t be able to make a decision for God’s Son and I think His love made provision for them. Romans 8:29-30 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified. It’s a done deal because we have a loving and just God! Have a great day, CDBJ |

1022 | How does John 3:13 fit with Genesis 5:24 | John 3:13 | CDBJ | 108034 | ||
Greetings, You will find that on this forum that we are a different breed of cat, as it were, you must prove any and everything to us with Scripture in order to establish true doctrine! Psalm 119:160 The sum of thy word is truth; And every one of thy righteous ordinances endureth for ever. The body is the only thing that sleeps, the soul doesn’t get tired. The body only needs rest, not the soul or spirit. Do you suppose that the spirit and soul of Jesus got tired in this situation? John 4:6 and Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus by the well. It was about the sixth hour. The soul will go on forever and doesn’t need sleep! When the Bible refers to sleep, as at death or in the Greek, THANATOS, it is a reference to the body, the soul and the spirit continue right on in the conscious state. 1 Cor. 15:51 Behold, I tell you a mystery: We all shall not sleep, but we shall all be changed, The we in this verse, spoken of by Paul, is a reference to the souls that have believed and trusted in Jesus for their eternal life. Paul is speaking about some who will be separated from their bodies Jesus at one point also spoke of those who were not only dead or separated in body, but spirit as well, they had no living spirit. Matthew 8:22 But Jesus saith unto him, Follow me; and leave the dead to bury their own dead. Man is dichotomies with a living body and soul until such time as he believes in Christ then he becomes trichotomis with a body soul and spirit. The bodies of all who sleep, as it were, at the point of separation will see a time when their bodies will be brought back to life, either in the first resurrection or the second! All of the future bodies will be incorruptible either with the Lord or going through a process of impossible destruction in the lake of fire! John saw the souls of some believers that hadn’t received their new bodies yet but they were still there at the throne of God. Rev. 6:9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: Rev. 20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. Have a great day, CDBJ |

1023 | Is it ok to eat animals for food | Acts 10:13 | CDBJ | 107866 | ||
Hello hfaces, Here are some verses where Peter was commanded to kill and eat animals. Acts 10:9-13 On the morrow, as they went on their journey, and drew nigh unto the city, Peter went up upon the housetop to pray about the sixth hour: 10And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance, 11And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending unto him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth: 12Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air. 13And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat.

1026 | How does John 3:13 fit with Genesis 5:24 | John 3:13 | CDBJ | 107573 | ||
Greetings, Using your understanding and philosophy, which is reflective of soul sleep, how do you account for II Cor. 5:8? 2 Cor. 5:8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. The words, present with, comes to us from the Koine Greek. Present is the word endemeo, followed by the word pros. The verb endemeo is an infinitive, aorist, active and with pros, in the accusative case, it actually means at home with the Lord and face to face with him in person. If there isn’t some kind of an interim body before the resurrection, that actually has what we call senses or cognizance, then how do you account for all that was going on in the book of Luke chapter 16? Luke 16:19-31 There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day: 20And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores, 21And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. 22And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; 23And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. 24And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. 25But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. 26And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence. 27Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house: 28For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment. 29Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them. 30And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent. 31And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead. Of the five senses that are related to the body four are recognized in these verses; the only one note suggested is that of smell. This is not referred to as a parable since parables never mention people by a specific name such as Lazarus. Does it not appear that since one in hell had such abilities, in the place of torments, yet his body was decaying, that believers would at least share the same or greater being in heaven with the Lord? Have a great day, CDBJ |

1027 | when will jesus christ return | Bible general Archive 2 | CDBJ | 107348 | ||
Hi Just me, I got a chuckle from your post. Did you proof read it before you sent it? You stated, “I believe we should live and plan as if Jesus will not come in our lifetime.” Then you went on to say,” I believe we should expect His return at anytime and as Jesus said we are to "be ready". It sounds like you plan on dying real soon if that’s the case? Are you advocating Luke 12:19 And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry. Just kidding, I have done this myself a few times, CDBJ |

1028 | when will jesus christ return | Bible general Archive 2 | CDBJ | 107323 | ||
Hi Norm, The return of the Lord, as a thief in the night, is the term used to express what his return will be like to those who aren’t looking for him. I Thes. 5:3 mentions the word, they and them, which is a ref. to unbelievers. 1 Thes. 5:3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. Verse 4 shows the believers that the Lord’s return won’t be like a thief, to those who are looking for him. 1 Thes. 5:4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. Paul had explained the conditions and signs that would be present, before the Lord’s return to the Thes. 2 Thes. 2:5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? There are numerous passages in scripture that explain the conditions and signs that will come to pass right up to the Lord’s return but people like to twist them around to mean something different even in the face of warning! Matthew 24:11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. Mark 13:4-5 Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled? 5And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any man deceive you: 2 Thes. 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Have a great day, CDBJ |

1030 | Is Jesus YHWH? | OT general | CDBJ | 107217 | ||
The question often arises, with regard to the term Trinity, how can there be three yet one? For sake of clarification lets say that God, as we know him, has certain characteristics, not all are listed here, but these ten are listed for sake of simple clarity; again, this is not a complete list but it's sufficient for the brief explanation. God is, as we know Him, sovereignty, righteousness, justice, love, eternal life, omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent, immutability, and veracity. God is one in unity with all of these characteristics just mentioned. Whoever has All of these attributes is in fact God. It so happens that there are three separate personalities, and only three in existence, that have All of these attributes and for sake of accommodation, they are referred to in the Bible as, The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit. They have existed Together forever in eternity past and they will continue on forever into eternity future; the three personalities had no beginning, they always were and always will be. Anyone exhibiting All of the listed traits mentioned is God, it so happens that there are only three personalities in existence that posses All of these attributes. God is ONE IN ESSENCE but THREE IN PERSONALITIES. God decided in eternity past that one of these personalities, the one we call the Son, would take on the form of a man and be born into the human race, his name as a human, would be called Jesus. This one personality was going to place himself in a human body so that he could pay the high price that God demanded for sin, which is death. God just because of his essence as God, can’t die so he had to take on the body of a human and he only did it once for the purpose of dying for mankind. That why Jesus said what he did in, John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. God was only going to do this one time and that one time was in the man Jesus the Christ. The Bible says that this one, who will come, will be recognized as God with us. Isaiah 7:14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. Matthew 1:23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. Jesus main object was to pay the price of death for mankind. Hebrews 2:9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man. Hebrews 1:2-3 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; 3Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; John 17:5 And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was. When God the second person took on the form of a man it is referred to as the hypostatic union. (i.e.) Jesus is a one-of-a-kind being, 100 percent God and 100 percent man; he was the God man. He is different from the other two members of the God Head in that he is a man. He is different from mankind in that he is God. Even though Jesus was walking around on this Earth as a man, he was at the same time holding the Universe together by the power of his might as God. I hope this will settle a lot of the confusion about what is called the Trinity, which is not a word that is actually used in the Bible, but it is a term that has been coined to cover a fact of doctrine. Every technical subject uses a technical language. Just remember God is one in essence, but this essence is revealed in three separate personalities, making all three God, one God, three persons. Just like the old hymn says, God in three persons blessed Trinity. 2 Tim. 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. Have a great day,CDBJ |

1031 | Works of the OT Holy Spirit vs NT | Bible general Archive 2 | CDBJ | 107083 | ||
Greeting Checho, The language that I look for, with reference to people on the forum, is spoken very well by you, and that is God’s Word! You introduce you self by using God’s Word and lifting up Jesus and not some denomination; you end with the salutation of, in Christ! It doesn’t get any better then that. Romans 8:37-39 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. 38For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Have a great day, CDBJ |

1032 | Am I wrong to think this? | Proverbs | CDBJ | 106910 | ||
Greetings Josh, I appreciate the honesty and hart felt expression in your answer and I use to feel the same way you do until God pointed a few things out to me from His Word. There are several issues that most people overlook when it comes to being acceptable in God’s sight, that are pointed out in Scripture. Matthew 5:20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven. Luke 13:3 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. Matthew 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. John 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. In reading these four verses there are the issues of our righteousness, repentance, the Fathers will, and what is being call, born again and that isn’t even considering what it says in Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; The all, in this verse, take in you and me and the rest of the world. Truth be known it would appear that we are all in big trouble especially when one considers what it says in the first part of Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; Now this word death means separation from God, and that’s for all eternity. That’s the bad news, now here come the good news! The fact that God loves us, and that fact that we a more or less helpless, as far as God is concerned, caused God to devise a plan that involved Him and His great love. God cannot excuse sin in any way if He did it would be against His Holy nature, He can’t just can’t look the other way! God said that sin requires death, as a penalty, and that’s a price that we can’t pay and still be remain with Him in His kingdom. God, as the judge, knew we were in big trouble so He said that He would pay the high price, for sin, that His Holiness demanded. The only problem is that God can’t die, so He decided to become a man and take what we deserve, and that’s where Jesus comes into the picture. The good news isn’t that we love God but that God loved us first. Romans 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Just know this, intellectually, isn’t enough, God wants us to trust in what His Son did for us and depend on Jesus for our eternal life. If we will completely trust in the work that God did for us through the person of His Son Jesus, God the Father says that He will give us eternal life as a FREE gift and God can’t lie, you can count on it! Here is the rest of Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the GIFT OF GOD is eternal life THROUGH JESUS CHRIST our Lord. There were several, in Jesus day that wanted to know what they could do as far as works, notice what Jesus told them. John 6:28-29 Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? 29Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent. The following verses are what I would consider some of the most precious in the whole Bible! 1 John 5:10-13 He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. 11And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 12He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. 13These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. Then there is the verse that all have heard. John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Well Josh God made the promises and He says the eternal life is in the person of His Son so you see the key to getting into heaven is all in trusting in God’s Son Jesus, do you believe what God is telling you in His word. John 6:37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. You see Josh, the one that is going to judge us, God, is none other then Jesus Himself. He will either be your judge or your Savior. John 5:22 For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son: What a great Christmas present God has given us in the person of His Son. Have A Marry Christmas and tell God that you are going to put all of your faith and hope in His Son Jesus for your eternal life! CDBJ |

Hi Josh, Well it certainly sounds like you have had some real experiences in your life, that's for sure! Have you come to the place yet, in your spiritual experiences, where you can say for sure that you would have eternal life with God, if you would die, say tomorrow? I know that’s a scary thought, but what would you say to God, if you were to stand before him tomorrow and he were to ask you, Josh, why should I let you come into my kingdom, what would you say to him; I’m curious?

1037 | Bible to be taken literally? | Matthew | CDBJ | 106291 | ||
Hi Tim, The Bible has numerous figures of speech, as you well know. They are broken down into three groups, COMPARISONS, which takes in similes, metaphors, and idioms. SUBSTITUTIONS, using metonyms, and AMPLIFICATIONS, that are parallelisms used in the poetical writings like Proverbs and the Psalms. CDBJ |
||||||
1038 | what does "falling away" mean? | Heb 6:6 | CDBJ | 106287 | ||
Well then using that as the thesis are you saying then that we are forgiven then because we forgive others; isn’t it because Jesus paid the price for them that we can be forgiven? If the aforementioned is true, with your case and point, then I could have been forgiven of my sins with out the need for Christ to come in the flesh and pay for them. I wouldn’t necessarily have had to trust in Christ’s work on the cross for my sin problem, I could just forgive others and the problem would be solved but we both know that isn’t the case. CDBJ |
||||||
1039 | what does "falling away" mean? | Heb 6:6 | CDBJ | 106281 | ||
Hi Tim, Your post is a little confusing! You quote 1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. You suggest that the person is to ask God for forgiveness? Do we have to ask God to forgive us of our sin or does it say that He is faithful and will do it every time if we will just confess it to Him? Confess, Koine Greek, HOMOLOGEO, assent, to name or cite as in a courtroom case. They reason God is faithful and can forgive us is because the sin has already been to court, and the penalty of that sin was paid for by His Son, Jesus. Why should I ask God to do something, forgive sin, when He already said he would; what the Father wants me to do is own up to it and name it to Him. Do we really need to ask God to do something that he already said He would do if we would just confess it? I don’t mean to be critical but isn’t that what it says? In love, CDBJ |

1040 | khuck ... thanks for your answers .. | Gal 6:17 | CDBJ | 103152 | ||
Hello Khuck, So what dose all of this have to do with anything? Is it supposed to be more effective then the Word of God or what? What, biblically speaking, have these thing done for the individuals who experienced them? All of the thing that Jesus suffered, before the sins of the world were poured out on him, brought no response from him until God the father forsook him and then he cried out. Isaiah 53:7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth. Matthew 27:46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? People have let themselves be crucified to try and experience what Christ went through on the cross, but no person, other then Jesus himself, will ever know what the pain was when our sins were placed on him and he paid our debt. If people want to know what that feels like they will have to spend an eternity in the lake of fire separated from God’s presence! The only ones who know what the suffering of Christ was like are those who have refused to trust totally in Jesus and what he did for them on the cross and it’s to late for them to do anything about it because God’s condemnation is being poured out on them for rejecting His Son. Have a nice day, CDBJ |
