1201 | the first account written to the ophilus | Luke 1:3 | CDBJ | 74290 | ||
Greetings Edb, I’m sorry about opening the can of worms. When ever I ask my pastor at church a puzzling question I try to make sure that there isn’t anyone around because I don’t want him to feel like I am putting the monkey on his back if he doesn’t have the answer. Just let my last question go because I messed up the question anyway. I think that Emmaus got me heading in the right direction and it was just a casual question that I had heard in passing and I was wondering if any others had heard anything that leaned in that direction. It could only be an answer that was extra biblical anyway since there isn’t Scripture to back it up. You live in a prime area if you want some firsthand info on the book. There are mucho seminars in your neck of the woods on it and I wish I could attend a few but that’s a pretty long drive down there for me. Have a nice day, CDBJ |

That is it you are right, I just got mixed up on my authors. Seeing that Luke was a Gentile I wonder where he got all of his information? CDBJ | ||||||

Greetings EdB, have you ever heard of the book of Luke bring considered as the Gospel according to Peter but written by Luke? It follows good reasoning that Luke got his info from Peter, just curious. CDBJ |

Dear Taleb, your post was very informative, a Big Amen to your expressive post. Your point was very well taken and those that don’t perceive it are as you have suggested, of the weaker ilk. Have a nice day, CDBJ |

1205 | What is iniquity in Matthew 7:23? | Matt 7:23 | CDBJ | 74108 | ||
I can see where we differ greatly according to your post, “You say I want to bring us back to the "law", the "law" never left. Anyone who was born again during the time Messiah was on earth was keeping Torah(law).” For starters no one can keep the law because of our old sin nature. Romans 8:3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: I came to a point in time in my life when I realized that I had broken the Law and that there was no longer any hope for me, or a way to repair it. I was desperate and needed help because I was falling fast and the ground was coming up in a hurry. The law was to me like the links of a chain that was holding me up over the side of a canyon that was many thousands of feet deep. All I had to do was brake one of those ten links and I found myself heading for the bottom of the canyon at terminal velocity. All of my efforts to repair the brake in any one of the links would be futile since I was already falling. The most fantastic thing happened to me while I was falling; I screamed out for God to help me in my hopeless condition because I couldn’t see any way out of my fatal circumstance. Then along came Jesus with a parachute on, that he hadn’t opened yet, and he said that I could have his parachute and he would hit the bottom for me. What a deal, I accepted the gift that he offered and Jesus hit the bottom for me. Now in effect you are asking me to crawl back up and start over with those 10 links, or however many you imply, of the Law that I can’t keep in the first place, and hang over that cliff of death again? No thinks, I will just rest in the eternal life that Christ Jesus has already given me, past tense, as a free gift; I am perfectly satisfied with the parachute he provided but I wish you the best on your trying to keep the links together, but for me I am trusting in Christ provision. 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. I am sure glad that God showed me those Laws of his though, because I didn’t really know I was falling until he pointed it out to me. But once I realized it I knew I didn’t have a chance on my own, I needed help and then God pointed me to his solution, his Son and my precious Savior. Have a nice day and especially when you hit the bottom, CDBJ |

1206 | law vs grace Scripture??? | Gen 1:1 | CDBJ | 74032 | ||
Greetings Brother Billy Joe, and welcome to the forum; It is always nice to hear from new people. Your post, “Please go and read 1 John 3:4. The 10 Commandments are still valid and binding on all Christians.” Actually they way I see it the true believers in Jesus Christ are out from under the law of sin and death and under a higher and more stringent law, that being the law of the Spirit of life. Romans 8:1-6 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. [2] For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. [3] For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: [4] That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. [5] 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. [6] For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. The words in Rom. 8:1, walk not after the flesh, are the keys to what John was talking about in John 3:4 but to follow in the context the verses preceding must be considered. 1 John 3:2-3 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. [3] And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure. Verse 4 picks up with 1 John 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. The word committeth in the Koine Greek is one that describes continuous action and it is antithetical to the action of the man in verse 3 who is continuously trying to get closer to God by perifying himself, not trying see just how much he can get by with. It is interesting to note while reading John’s letters the use of the suffix “th” and realize that it is referring to a practice or continuous action. John was aware that all believers have two natures, a new nature in Christ and an old sin nature as in Adam. He wants us to follow after the new nature but sometimes the old one kicks in and when it does we sin. It’s not to be the life style of the believer but it does happen. i.e. We are not to practice sinning. 1 John 2:1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: It is a blessing to see the word that was used for the Christian way of life by John. The word walk comes to us from the word PARIPATEO. Paripateo suggest something that we do with our feet and unless one is moving, and that with one foot at a time, we are off balance between steps. The results of stopping while moving on one foot, if the next one isn’t put down right, we fall. 1 John 1:7-9 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. [8] If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. [9] If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. I hope this puts a little more light on the subject? If you get a chance, fill out your personal profile so we know something about you. Have a nice day, CDBJ |

1207 | What is iniquity in Matthew 7:23? | Matt 7:23 | CDBJ | 73997 | ||
Hello giboone, your suggestion that we should all get back under the law along with faith in Yeshua, and consequently it’s curse, causes one to fall from his position of grace; because my doing something isn’t grace it’s works. Am I wrong in assuming if I transgress any of the law, namely codex number one or the Ten Commandments, that I am a sinner and guilty of all? The answer is rather obvious, yes I am a sinner, that being the case, which of these sins, of not keeping the law didn’t, Yeshua HaMashiach not die for? When Yeshua spoke of sending the Comforter are you surprised he forgot to mention that the Comforter would confront us with keeping the law along with believing in Jesus. I would assume that you would like it to be joined to verse 9? I hope you realize that I am being factious for a reason? John 16:7-11 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. [8] And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: [9] Of sin, because they believe not on me; [10] Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more; [11] Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged. I think I can fully understand you desire to eliminate the clear and obvious face value understanding of Scripture in the book of Galatians; and I can truthfully say that I don’t blame you because of what it teaches and what you are trying to teach! Galatians 1:8-9 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. [9] As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. I am a little more apt to believe Paul’s clear concise rendition of grace and the Law then yours. From what God is telling us, through Paul in the previous verse, it would appear that you are walking on very thin ice friend. I call you friend and not brother because I am not exactly sure where you stand. You could do us all a favor if you would expatiate on your faith in Christ apart from your works at keeping the Law unless you think it is all-inclusive? In Love, CDBJ |

You are the one who ask the question; if you don’t want a biblical answer don’t ask; this is a Bible study forum not a forum on religiosity. I am truthfully sorry and I hope you will forgive me if I have confused you by presenting the facts of Scripture. Your statement, “Thank you for explaining to me only Greek scholars will go to heaven. Thank you for also in forming me Acts 2:38 and first Peter 3:21 have been destroyed by translation I never new that. In the future I would caution you one point. Matt 7:1 "Do not judge so that you will not be judged. "For in the way you judge, you will be judged; and by your standard of measure, it will be measured to you.” I appreciate your comment on Matt 7:1 because I have already been judged in the person of Christ and my standard of measure is God’s word, which I am using to answer your question. People have always use Matt. 7:1 as a cop out when someone uses Scripture in a way that is contrary to their pet philosophy; it won’t happen again. 2 Tim. 3:16-17 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: [17] That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works. 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.

1209 | Why is 2 Thess. 2:7 mis-translated? | 2 Thess 2:7 | CDBJ | 73308 | ||
Greetings Taleb, I have always been enthralled by eschatology along with it's minutiae. It’s only been in the last several years that most of my unanswered question, on future things, has been satisfactorily answered. The completion of a book by Robert Van Kampen has cleared up nearly all of my confusion. The name of his informative book is, The Sign, there is a highly condensed version by the title, The Rapture Question Answered Plain and Simple. This author, along with Marvin Rosenthal and his book, have cleared up more for me then all of the dozens of other books I have read on future events. There are many views on what will transpire in the future and all use their pet verses to back up what they say; it is all scriptural, but there are contradictions in their doctrine when compared to other verses. The key to Van Kampen’s understanding and clarification is found in Psalms. Psalm 119:160 (NASB) The sum of Thy word is truth, And every one of Thy righteous ordinances is everlasting. What this is saying is, all of the verses on a particular doctrine have to fit together or you have the wrong thesis. Have a nice day, CDBJ |

Hi Meredith, I know the frustration that you are experiencing and I have been down that same road many times. The thing that I noticed in your post is the same thing that I have trouble with even to this day. You stated, “I tried to convey to her” Every time I find myself on this kick I have to relate to Matthew. Matthew 16:17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. Did you catch who is doing the revealing or convincing? Not you or I, as designated by, flesh and blood, but the Father. Probably the best thing you could do for her is get her to promise to read the book of John and tell her to pray and ask God to reveal the truth that is contained in it. Romans 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. You mentioned that she hoped she would get to heaven. Ask her what all this hope entails? Ask her why God should let her into heaven and you will find out what she is really trusting in. Most will say that they are trying to be the best they can, or do the best they can, what ever that means or they aren’t any worse then everybody else. You might say that the Bible say in Isaiah 59:2 But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear. Tie this in with Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Ask how she is dealing with the sin problem that God say we all have? Next the outcome of our sin is found in Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; But hear comes the great news in the last part of the verse; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Then explain what we do to earn a gift, NOTHING, or it wouldn’t be a gift. Somebody has to pay for it, because like they say, there is no free lunch and that is where Jesus comes in. God wants us to put all of our eggs in one basket and completely trust in his Son for paying the price of our admission to heaven. We can’t earn it and sure don’t deserve it and that is the meaning of grace. I like the play on words that someone came up with for the word grace. i.e. G R A C E, God’s Riches At Christ Expense. Ephes. 2:8-9 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: [9] Not of works, lest any man should boast. Here is another neat verse that we can take to the bank and cash in. God took our sin to his Son for payment and Jesus took it and gives us his righteousness back in return if we will trust in him, what a deal!!! 2 Cor. 5:21 For he (God) hath made him (Jesus) to be sin for us, (Jesus) who knew no sin; that we might be made (caused to have) the righteousness of God in him. All this for trusting in Jesus; guess who gets all the credit? All of this doesn't sound like a, I hope so to me. That's why it's called the gospel or good news. Have a nice day, CDBJ |

God’s protocol for man’s salvation has remained constant from the time man stepped outside of God’s plan in the garden until this very day. All of the Old Testament believers had to have faith in God’s perfect sacrifice the same way that we do today; they looked forward to it and we look back. That perfect sacrifice was God’s solution for us and it centers on His Son Jesus Christ. That is why we have, 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. There was no water baptism mentioned! Hebrews chapter 11 is dedicated for the purpose of expounding on the essence of faith. The only thing that any human has to have in order to be saved is the ability to think i.e. to reason. Once they come to this point then they are accountable for their decisions; no water necessary. Isaiah 1:18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. The plan of God for man is total trust in the work of God’s Christ. Anything that we can do, other then use our minds to consider it, by relying on God and what he did for us through Jesus, nullifies faith. It is not faith plus anything, no mater what the postulate might be. The essence of faith eliminates everything that might be hanging on the fringe other wise faith isn’t faith. The word faith and or believe, as it was originally used, is a transitive verb example, John 3:16. 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. What a transitive verb does is to place all the emphasis on the object of the verb; the verb, believe in the English is the Koine Greek verb PISTEUO. Faith or believe is no better then the object of the faith. Whenever anyone adds something besides faith to the object, Jesus, for salvation, like water baptism, it negates the action of the verbs object and nullifies the results. Faith demands singleness of thought on the object that God designates i.e. his perfect Son. God is not impressed with anything that we do physically he is only impressed with what his Son did. Water baptism in conjunction with faith for salvation is like sitting in a jet going 600 mph and you decide that you want to help so you try to get outside so you can help by pushing. The worst part is the results are going to be the same! God doesn’t need our help to save us he just wants us to trust him! In essence those the are depending on something they do, water baptism, along with what Jesus did, are not fully trusting in the finished work of Christ and accordingly they aren’t saved, by faith only as the definition demands. A person could be welded into a steel box in the middle of the desert and as long as they are still cognizant of God’s plan of salvation they could be saved even if it were the last thing they did; now that is by grace through faith, no access to water! John 20:30-31 And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book: [31] But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name. Now if people what to add water baptism to what John knew to be truth, according to these last two verses, they are going to have a real shock when they take their last breath. I hope they get with God’s program before it’s too late. There are numerous passages mentioning baptism in conjunction with the verb Pisteuo or it cognate. Those that are putting their salvation on the line with these passages of Scripture better learn what it means to reduce something down to it’s common denominator as in a parenthetical phrase.

Lets just drop this Baptism thing because next week you will probably want to push the necessity for circumcision, and I don’t think I am going to last another round on these subjects. Galatians 5:6 For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith along with water baptism which worketh by love. Just sign your name to this and we will try to get all the Bibles changed to reflect your openion. Have a nice day, CDBJ |

That is exactly that outcome at a later time if any give credence to the first chapter of Fox’s Book of Martyrs? This is extra-biblical information about Peter’s death and not fact. I have a hard time reading very much in this book at one time. IX. Peter Among many other saints, the blessed apostle Peter was condemned to death, and crucified, as some do write, at Rome; albeit some others, and not without cause, do doubt thereof. Hegesippus saith that Nero sought matter against Peter to put him to death; which, when the people perceived, they entreated Peter with much ado that he would fly the city. Peter, through their importunity at length persuaded, prepared himself to avoid. But, coming to the gate, he saw the Lord Christ come to meet him, to whom he, worshipping, said, “Lord, whither dost Thou go?” To whom He answered and said, “I am come again to be crucified.” By this, Peter, perceiving his suffering to be understood, returned into the city. Jerome saith that he was crucified, his head being down and his feet upward, himself so requiring, because he was (he said) unworthy to be crucified after the same form and manner as the Lord was. Any thing that we say that can’t be backed by Scripture as far as doctrine is concerned is only speculation but some of it makes for good reading I just wouldn’t stake my life on it. 2 Tim. 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: Have a nice day, CDBJ |

This period of time might be right around the corner who knows.

I think that you are agreeing with me and you don’t even know it. I didn’t say that the baptism of fire was for believers; the fire is for the unbelievers that baptism of the Holy Ghost is for believers only! Everyone that has ever lived will get one or the other. There is no middle ground you are either in God's family or you are out. The only way that Ephes. 4:5 could be true is because it is done for us. Ephes. 4:5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism, Are you going to try and prove to the forum that water baptism unifies? We have been down that road so many and it is always a dead end. The only way Ephes. 4:5 works is if God does the work, which he does with the baptism of the Spirit, for believers only! Anything that we do only adds confusion and separates. Type in Baptism in the search section on the right side of the forum home page and you will see what I mean. If it matters as you stated and I quote, “The one that matters is in water and very wet.” then it has to be the same for all believers and that just won’t fly: the thief on the cross. I will say it again the only one that matters is dry and it is the baptism with the Holy Ghost. If you don’t have the baptism of the Spirit there is no way that you will make it to heaven know matter how many time you have be water baptized or no matter how wet you got in the process. 2 Cor. 1:22 Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts. 2 Cor. 5:5 Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit.

Greetings Piper, many have come to the same conclusion that you have mentioned, but there are verses that must be considered. John 6:44 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day. John 6:65 And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father. John 6:45 It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me. Ministers all over the country are telling people that they must accept Christ in their heart, they problem is there isn’t a verse in the Bible that says to do so! There will come a day when people will stand before God and say well I made a decision for Christ and ask him into my heart, I called him Lord. Notice the following verses. Matthew 7:21-23 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. [22] Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? [23] And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. Even though Jesus spent many hours with his disciples, at one point he ask them who they thought he was? Peter was the only one recorded as speaking up and giving the right answer at that time. The answer that Peter gave gives evidence to the fact that it is God that has to show every true believer the way to Jesus and those who have had this revealed to them become members of Christ special church i.e. His body. Matthew 16:13-18 When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am? [14] And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets. [15] He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? [16] And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. [17] And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. [18] And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. 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. If I were you I would do a very extensive study on the words that Bible uses, BELIEVE and FAITH, and ask the Lord to reveal the truth of these words to you as was intended in the original language of the New Testament, the English lacks a lot to be desired!

Great post Robert, either people believe what God say’s about His Son or they don’t. 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. [11] And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. [12] He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. [13] These 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.

1219 | Why is 2 Thess. 2:7 mis-translated? | 2 Thess 2:7 | CDBJ | 73141 | ||
In my estimation Daniel 12:1 is in reference to the same time period as II Thess. 2:7 cf Daniel 12:1 And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book. 2 Thes. 2:7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. I think in the midst of the week is when the afore mentioned verses take place. Daniel 9:27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate. Daniel 11:31 And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate. Daniel 12:11 And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days. I believe that this is the time spoken of in Revelation 12. Rev. 12:12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time. it is my understanding that the short time is three and one half years, which would tie these verses together. Jesus warns of the same time of great trouble in Matthew. Matthew 24:21-25 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. [22] And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened. [23] Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. [24] For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. [25] Behold, I have told you before. Have a nice day, CDBJ |
