I am sorry, as I stated for bringing up the subject and I stopped it out of love. It is amazing how things get twisted around and misconstrued don't you think? I am also sorry you are having all of the problems that you listed. | ||||||
1182 | When is abortion right? | Ex 21:23 | CDBJ | 74886 | ||
I appreciate your concern but as I stated in my previous post that the subject is closed and I gave my reason. A lot of people on this forum should be white house correspondents when it comes to their ability of asking the same question of someone with a slightly different slant. I will resume with the same white house apologetic response I’m sorry next question please. Love trumps knowledge, CDBJ |

Well, I have some very bad new for you, I am guilty of murder, in God’s eyes and so are you and every on else on this planet. James 2:10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. The judge that tried my case pronounced sentence on me, which was death; then he did something that absolutely blew my mind. He got up from his bench and came down and told me that he loved me, and to prove it he was going to suffer the punishment, that he decided was just for my crime, death. He then ask me something that I will never forget, he ask me if that would be ok with me and that he was willing to do it, I came back with resounded, oh yes, please! Then he did something that really was beyond my wildest imagination. The robe that this judge had on was white, he took it off and put it on me and said there now; when you are looked upon by the supreme judge, he won’t see you anymore, and what you are, he will instead see me. He proceeded to go one better, he said that since I was willing to let him be the substitution for my death, for my crime, that he was going to adopt me as his own son and put me in his will. How can I help but love him? There is still no free lunch someone has to pay the price. 2 Cor. 5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. Love trumps Knowledge, CDBJ |

Hi Hank, I don’t want to get anyone upset with this I think we should just let it go. I will respond with these last few comments then it’s over. The first verse that you listed was one that I was going to use to point out my position. Psalm 22:10 From birth I was cast upon you; from my mother's womb you have been my God. Doesn’t is say from birth and not from conception? It also says from my mother’s womb. This is the word MEBETEN, which means out from. I think that most of what you listed is dealing with God’s foreknowledge the same way he knew that I would believe on Him from before the foundation of the world yet I wasn’t a new creature in Christ until the point at which I believed. The seed of God’s word was planted and nourished but there was no birth at the time of conception. 1 Peter 1:23 For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God. Hank I could go on and on with this but I don’t think it is a good topic of discussion where there are so many that can’t handle it. There are to many young Christians on this forum that might stumble do to my efforts of trying to explain what I have found. I don’t care to extend this any more and I think you can appreciate why. Just for the record I hate abortion. Love trumps knowledge, Chuck |

Hello Hank, I don't recall seeing to many miscarriages walking around. Exodus 21:22 "And if men struggle with each other and strike a woman with child so that she has a miscarriage, yet there is no further injury, he shall surely be fined as the woman's husband may demand of him; and he shall pay as the judges decide. The injury was to the woman according to sentence structure not to the miscarriage, if there was no other injury to the woman besides the problem of loosing the fetus. Love trumps knowledge, CDBJ |

1186 | Are the 144,000 Jewish Christians? | Bible general Archive 1 | CDBJ | 74798 | ||
Hello Searcher, in my previous post I stated my position on the 144,000 that were sealed. “The way I see it none of the 144,000 are Christians these are all Jews and they aren’t saved at the point in time when they are sealed. These are God’s people the true olive branch ready to be grafted back in." The reason they were sealed is to escape the wrath of God that will come as soon as the sealing is over, i.e. they are under God’s divine protection. Rev. 7:3 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads. I don’t see the wrath of God starting until Rev. 8:1 And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour. The first sign of God’s wrath and destruction, as he has promised, won’t be water, as it was in Noah’s day, but fire. 2 Peter 3:7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men. The first expression God’s wrath starts in Rev. 8:7 The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up. Getting back directly to your question, the answer is no, because if they would have been Christians they would have been removed at the rapture with all believers. The proof is found in 1 Thes. 5:9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, The us, in hath not appointed us, includes all believers, barring none. I could go on and on about this if you would like but that pretty much answers your question from my viewpoint. Have a nice day, CDBJ |

Friend, If you can’t see what I have expressed I am sorry because I don’t have the power to reveal it to you. You suggested, Luke 13:24 "Strive to enter in at the strait GATE: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able. " I have already done this and now I have entered into God’s rest, my striving days are over but I wish you the best with your's. Hebrews 4:10 For the one who has entered His rest has himself also rested from his works, as God did from His. My gate was none other then Jesus Himself and he has already given me that rest, I can’t see as where you have anything else to offer. John 4:14 but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life." Have a nice day, CDBJ |

Hello Hank, in your statement you suggested the following, “Life is present from the moment of conception onward.” If your assumption is true, Life at conception, and without Scripture evidence, how can we explain the situations in Exodus 21: 1-25, where God commands death to those that cause death, yet the death of the unborn child didn’t bring about the same response from God, emphasis on verses 22 and 23. Exodus 21:22-23 NASB "And if men struggle with each other and strike a woman with child so that she has a miscarriage, yet there is no further injury, he shall surely be fined as the woman's husband may demand of him; and he shall pay as the judges decide. 23"But if there is any further injury, then you shall appoint as a penalty life for life, Now do you see why I have a concern with when soul life starts? Maybe you are convinced But I am not! Have a nice day, CDBJ |

Greetings Robert, I would concur with you on that. I think in order to explain death, as the Bible speaks of it, it helps to look at it from the standpoint of what Adam experienced. When Adam ate of the forbidden fruit, the way I see it, he died spiritually that very day and as a result of that spiritual death he set the wheels in motion for his physical death. Dear old grandfather Adam wasn’t able to procreate his species the same way that he was created, i.e. with a body, soul, and spirit. Thus the part of us that has association with God, our spirit, is inoperative at the point of birth. 1 Cor. 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. We are born physically alive and spiritually dead; thus the need to be born again of the Spirit of God. 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. The word see, IEDO in the Greek, is not visual inspection but a mental perception. He in essence brings our spirit to life and reveals to us that we are his, with a new nature. Ephes. 4:24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. Romans 8:16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: My two cents worth, have a nice day, CDBJ |

Greetings johnbakas, and welcome to the forum. Whenever I come across a new name on the forum I like to click on the author’s name that is listed. I appreciate reading their personal profile, which I hope they filled out. I thoroughly enjoy the personal testimony of those who have come to a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. It absolutely blows my mind how the grace of God has worked in so many different lives of the ones who have been called into His family. I especially appreciated you testimony and just praise the Lord for the overwhelming grace that is evident in so many different lives. Someday when we arrive home and look around at the multitudes of those present it will be amazing to see all the diversity of those in attendance yet we will know that we all got there the same way. Titus 3:5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; Have a nice day, CDBJ |

1192 | Difference between sin and sins? | Rom 5:12 | CDBJ | 74678 | ||
Hello Hank, I once heard a pastor state that sin, in the singular is our old nature, and the reason that we commit personal acts or sins, in the plural. That old nature resides with us, in the body, as believers along with our new nature. At any point in time we are under the controlled of one nature or the other; i.e. it’s an absolute, not a little of one or the other, but 100 percent. When we are being lead by the Spirit, God is in control. When we give in to the dictates of our old sin nature God is grieved or quenched and we fall out of fellowship. In order to put him back in control we must exercise the function of I John 1:9. He never leaves us or forsakes us but he just isn’t in control. Paul says that we are carnal, as it were, and we imitate the unbeliever. Check out the word flesh in the following verses then notice the connection at the bottom. Romans 8:5 (KJV) For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. Romans 9:8 (KJV) That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed. 1 Cor. 5:5 (KJV) To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. Galatians 5:16 (KJV) This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. Galatians 5:19 (KJV) Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Ephes. 2:3 (KJV) Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. Col. 2:11 (KJV) In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ: Col. 2:23 (KJV) Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body; not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh. Hebrews 9:13 (KJV) For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh: 1 Peter 3:21 (KJV) The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ: 2 Peter 2:18 (KJV) For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error. 1 John 2:16 (KJV) For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. All of these verses contain the word flesh, which comes to us from the Koine Greek word (SARX) and it is synonymous with the old sin nature. It makes a lot of sense to me and by reading in, the old sin nature, instead of flesh it appears to work every time. Just my two cents worth, CDBJ |

Greetings beva; My synopsis came about and was exacerbated because of your word, “which”, and you followed later by, “or”. Didn’t that mean I was supposed to choose between the two topics you selected thus placing them in an antithetical position. Am I not seeing what you posted? “Which is more of a sign of Christian maturity; knowledge of God's word or love for others?” I don’t see knowledge of God’s Word and love for others as being antithetical. That is why I posted them as congruent in my post. If I missed something that you were trying to expatiate on please continue I might catch next time. CDBJ |

Hello Hank, surely you do guest? It never ceases to amaze me how some people can jump to the conclusions that they come to. It seem as though lately the forum is swarming with them. If it isn’t baptismal regeneration it is strict adherence to the Mosaic Law. It is as though the Scripture that expounds on the truth of their fallacy isn’t even there or that portion is written in a foreign language in their Bible. I think instead of the PC being the mark of the beast that it would better answers the description in the following verse, since we have to make it something. Rev. 13:15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. Here is a classic, the word (image) comes to us from the Koine Greek word IEKON which is the same word we use, icon in the English. Now that ought to start some devious thoughts going. CDBJ |

Your post suggested something of which I can find no Scriptural evidence. You said, “But, in Jesus sermons He addressed the issue that how you live your life is important, in addition to accepting Jesus, through Baptism.” Where does it say that we are to accept Jesus through Baptism? I was always under the impression that the Bible teaches believing in Jesus first and then the water baptism is to follow if it is actually water baptism that you are referring to. Could you point out to me where baptism precedes believing in Christ or the gospel message, I have never noticed it? CDBJ |

Hi Searcher, great answer! As long as we are still in these bodies that contain Adam’s cell structure, with it’s old sin nature, we are going to be in the same battle that Paul faced. Romans 7:22-23 For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: [23] But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.

Hello Searcher56, your post states, ... a committed Chriatian would not act any way he wants ... that is a contradiction of terms ... since he is Lord ... it is His way, not mine. Are you inferring that you have never had a moment of weakness and committed a single sin since you have been a believer in Christ? I have been a believer for 37 years and I have never heard of anything so fabulous! That’s great, I hope, CDBJ |

1199 | In the service of the Lord, yet unsaved? | Matt 7:21 | CDBJ | 74469 | ||
Hi Brian, Your theology is running contrary to Paul’s! Are those you speak of truly believers according to Ephesians, if they aren’t then they are not as the word implies, Christians? Ephes. 1:12-14 That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ. [13] In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, [14] Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory. If they truly believed and trusted in Jesus as the Christ then they are sealed. One of you two is wrong and I think I would put my money on what Paul is telling us. Also, just to keep the facts correct, there is never any mention of baptism, as you suggest, in the message of the gospel or were you talking about after effects of salvation? My two cents worth, CDBJ |

Greetings Disciplerami; Your belated answer to this post is so late I don’t even remember it, senior moment, but for whatever it is worth you stated, “Baptism is an act of faith.” Faith in what, the word faith is a transitive verb and demands an object? The verb is no greater then it’s object, are you trying to tell me that you are trusting in something that you worked on for your salvation plus what Jesus did? Titus 3:5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; If you are going to imply that the washing was baptism it has all been hashed out countless times before. This topic has only shown it’s self about 300 times on the forum, and not to be rude by any means, but please enter the word Baptism in the box on the right side of the home page titled Quick Search and click search, you will see all of the questions and answers in a very extensive list. If you have something that is new after reading the search I am sure that there are many who would be willing to share Scripture with you on the subject. Have a nice day, CDBJ |
