1221 | Isn't Baptism neccessary for salvation?? | Rom 10:9 | CDBJ | 73112 | ||
I don’t think that people understand the significance of what John the Baptist said. He was speaking to a crowed of people that contained believers as well as unbelievers and every one there was going to be baptized by Christ, by one means or the other. Matthew 3:11 B he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire: Luke 3:16 John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire: John 5:22 For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son: Rev. 20:11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. Rev. 20:14-15 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. [15] And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. Now there is an extremely dry baptism! This is going to cause a comment; I wonder if the fire is just sprinkled on them or are they immersed? CDBJ |

The thief on the cross was baptized along with every true believer in Jesus Christ, or do you find fault with the following. Ephes. 4:5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism, Matthew 3:11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire: The one that really counts isn’t even wet, it’s dry!

How have you managed to deal with your sin problem? Your iniquities and your sin have set up a barrier, how did you overcome this obstacle? 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. Do you consider yourself to be perfect in God’s eyes? Job 9:20 If I justify myself, mine own mouth shall condemn me: if I say, I am perfect, it shall also prove me perverse. Why is it that you only take portions out of the Bible to believe and you don’t believe the rest? Jesus had this same problem with the people that thought they knew the Scripture in his day. It looks like you might be suffering from the same dilemma. John 5:39-40 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. [40] And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life. Why won’t you trust in the work that Jesus did for you on the cross? Who do you think it is that is going to judge you if you aren’t trusting in God’s Son Jesus? John 5:22-24 For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son: [23] That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him. [24] Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.

1226 | The bible is a work of fiction - discuss | Gen 1:1 | CDBJ | 72336 | ||
Greetings calmithewolfe, and welcome to the forum. As the Bible states, they are coming up short in the glory department as far as God is concerned. Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Couple this with, Romans 6:23 A For the wages of sin is death; Now we are faced with a problem of considerable magnatude! One thing that God desires of us in order to be in his presence is that we are absolutely perfect and He is the standard for this perfection and or righteousness. That is a pretty bleak scenario until we look at the rest of God’s equation. This is where God’s Christ, Jesus, comes into the picture. God has a fantastic trade for even the worst people on this earth. God did something for us that we couldn’t do for our selves. He sent His perfect Son into the world to take our place and pay the price that we deserve. And if we will trust in God’s Son for paying the price for our sin, God says that he imparted our sin to Jesus and for trusting in Jesus, God goes one step further and imparts the righteousness of Christ to us. As a result when we trust in Jesus God credits to our account His perfect righteousness. 2 Cor. 5:21 For he hath made him (Jesus) to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. 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. What a deal, that's why the message of Jesus is called the good news or Gospel, have a nice day, CDBJ |

Well aften1 you are getting me a little confused to say the least. In your first post to me you made this statement. “First Jesus was a teacher.” In my second and returning post I agreed with you. “You certainly mentioned a lot of thing that Jesus is going to do but as for who he was all you told me was that he was a teacher, which I must say I agree with you on that point.” Now you are saying that it was my idea to call him a teacher when all I did was agree with you. You mentioned in your last post the following. “Well to me he is a Ruler - notice the huge number of Angels round about the Throne. To you he is a teacher.” Well I will give you the benefit of the doubt so lets consider the last part of your most recent post to me and lets be honest with each other from here on. You used these Bible verses for a description of who Jesus is and I like it when people use the Bible to prove their point. We can’t dispute what the Bible says now can we, if we don’t take it out of context? Revelation 5 11 And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands; 12 Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing. Verse 12 is saying Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, Why, and you say this is referring to Jesus, in your estimation is he being called the Lamb? Do you know when Jesus was first called the Lamb? CDBJ |

Thank you aften1 that is a very interesting and candid concept that I don’t think I have fully considered. You certainly mentioned a lot of thing that Jesus is going to do but as for who he was all you told me was that he was a teacher, which I must say I agree with you on that point. Could you further elaborate to me, your personal understanding of just who Jesus was? CDBJ |

Hello aften1, I am somewhat new to this thread but would you be so kind and answer a question for me? With your understanding of Scripture, who do you presume that Jesus was? Just curious and would like your incite, CDBJ |

1230 | Divine Healing? | Matthew | CDBJ | 72259 | ||
Greetings Jesified, stop and think a minute, we don’t have anything to gain by telling you what to believe and we for sure don’t want your money; we are just trying to tell you the truth. Have you ever noticed a faith healer in later years, wearing glasses some wear contacts? That being the case they just blew their testimony even if they get a head cold their doctrinal creditability goes out the window! God can heal anyone he wants to if it pleases him and it is in his plan. One of the most spiritually gifted people that I have ever listened to is a gal by the name of Johnnie Erickson Tada, she is a Quadra pelagic that has lead numerous people to faith in Christ. I am being up front with you when I tell you that most of the so-called faith healers have their own agenda in mind. Check out their standard of living compared to your average pastor, it will literally blow your mind. If you think we are wrong check it out for your self. Titus 1:10-11 For there are many insubordinate, both idle talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision, [11] whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole households, teaching things which they ought not, for the sake of dishonest gain. Have a nice day, CDBJ |

1231 | Divine Healing? | Matthew | CDBJ | 72212 | ||
Well Jesified, I thought that you fit under the name justified like the rest of us? This is going to be sort and sweet since I am getting very sleepy. Romans 3:24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Romans 3:28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law. Romans 4:2 For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God. Romans 5:1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: Romans 5:9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. Romans 8:30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified. I hoped that you would fit into these categories of Justified and that’s why I spelled it that way; am I wrong? Have a nice day, CDBJ |

Greetings Taleb, I thought maybe I detected a smattering of something in your last post that lead me to believe that you might be part of the seed of Abraham physically as well as buy promise? Well at any rate it would appear that you are going to fit into this forum quiet well and I am sure we will enjoy some of your comments. I once heard a good definition for the word religion that came from a man who has spent more time studying in the Greek and Hebrew then I am years old and it kind of stuck with me. He said, and I quote; Religion is man by man’s best efforts trying to gain the approbation of God, by performing good works and man get all the credit. He then stated that Christianity is different in that God is doing all the work and man just receives by faith what God has done, and this on a non-meritorious bases by grace and God gets all the credit and praise. I am pretty sure that you won’t find this in any dictionary but it worked for me and it carries a Biblical connotation. I am sure that with you background that you will be a helpful member on the forum when we get into the language problems. Some people like to have everything broken down into, case, voice, mood, tense, etc. What I would like to find is someone that is good with etymology and customs. Well I must rush off for now so I don’t fall asleep in church in the morning. Yours in Christ, CDBJ |

Dear Justified, I don’t know how long you have been a Christian but for me it’s been close to 37 years now and believe me when I tell you that you are barking up the wrong tree. Someone very near and dear to you, who is a very strong believer, is going to have to die of some nasty disease before you wake up. We just lost a missionary doctor who loved the Lord and had super strong faith. He was serving the Lord with all his heart in a foreign country. He had a wife and three kids and just died from cancer that has been eating at him for close to two years now. When are you going to realize that we live in a sin sick world that God won’t deal with until the proper time? If God would have dealt with all the sin that is in the world say fifteen years ago where would that have left you? Do you think that you are going to live forever in the body that you now reside in? Everyone is going to die from something unless the rapture takes them first! Have you never even had a head cold or been sick with anything? If your answer is no, I am telling you right now that that is going to change and if you are basing your faith on that it to will be shaken to the core. God has promised us eternal life but it won’t be in these miserable bodies. Everyone that you witness to is listening to what you say and they are watching your life. The moment you get very sick your whole testimony will go right down the drain, and there goes a perfect opportunity for someone else to lead them to Christ because you have muddied up the water! I hope that you wake up before the Lord orients you to grace the hard way. In love, CDBJ |

Greetings Taleb, to the Forum, could you expatiate somewhat on (your definition) of the word religion? Also what, in your estimation, does it mean to have a relationship with God, and what experience have you had along these lines? I noticed that you didn’t bother to fill out a personal profile when you joined the forum. It always helps to know a little about those that we converse with; and what transition of the Bible do you enjoy the most? Have a nice day, CDBJ |

Hello Aften1, I am new to this thread but have read most of the post. You sound very sincere in your comments and that is what has brought me to this question. It is obvious that you are of some religion, and assuming that, I would like to ask if you have come to the point yet, in your spiritual experience, where you know for sure in your own mind, that you have eternal life? Maybe I could word this a little different: If you were to die in the next few seconds, and stand before God, and he were to say to you, why should I let you come into my heaven, what would you say to him? I know that’s an awesome thought but what do you think you would say, I’m curious? There are a lot of different people on this forum and I have heard their viewpoints, I would like to hear your summation of that question; that is unless you would rather keep it to your self, but then again it is a Bible forum? I would be happy to share my views with you on this matter sometime if you like! Have a nice day, CDBJ |

1237 | No Joyce Meyer?????????????????? | Acts 17:11 | CDBJ | 72074 | ||
Hi Joe, I liked your post but that last part, in my estimation, could use a little emphasis in the right direction. The fact that someone can call oneself a Christian and at the same time claim to have control over God is a clear sign of why reformation is so desperately needed in the 21st-century church. Calling oneself a Christian doesn’t necessarily make it so, and I think what is needed in the 21st. century is the same thing that has been needed in every century, and that is a personal relationship with the person of Jesus Christ, which carries with it an attitude adjustment. Nice post, CDBJ |

The Lockman Foundation has forgotten more about translating the Bible then I should ever hope to know. If I would send a message suggesting such a change I am afraid that the Lord would beat the socks off of me for being so arrogant. It would be a month before I could even use the PC again, much less get on the internet. I probably know just enough to be dangerious! You'll have to find someone else that enjoys pain, I’m not really into it that much, I still enjoy doses of grace now and then. Proverbs 16:18 Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall. 1 Peter 5:5 Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble. I am less then a simple amateur when it comes to translating the Bible. There is more to it then knowing a little Koine Greek. There is so much that is idiomatic that it makes my head swim and with out the knowledge of the idioms one could be barking up the wrong tree, if you get my drift? CDBJ |

I don’t mind the different denominations, what I am saying is that God is still building His church and it has nothing to do with a denomination or mortar or bricks or any such things. There are individuals that belong to a vast array of denominations and God has revealed to them the truth about His Son Jesus. They are fully trusting in the finished work of Christ for their salvation no matter what their denomination teaches. I doubt if there is a denomination in existence that teaches every thing the way it should be with out missing out on a single point. God speaks through his Word and the more of God’s Word that is communicated the more people will be saved. A lot of people are being saved in spite of churches and denominations and I am a good example of that. Everything that is done in churches apart from expounding on God’s Word is nothing more then glitter; it’s the Word that is profitable to individuals. 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: Ritual was the vehicle for teaching in the Old Testament; in the New Testament it is God The Holy Spirit that is doing the teaching. John 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. 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. Psalm 138:2 I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name. If people are to have the faith needed for salvation the key is exposure to God’s Word. Romans 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. In most churches today we get a little sermonette by a preacherette and that was not the advise of Paul to Timothy. 2 Tim. 4:1-2 I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom; [2] Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. Paul said I charge thee; this was a very strong word in the Greek, diamarturomai. Today it would be like a drill sergeant standing with the bill of his campaign hat stuck tight against your forehead screaming at you to get your act together and do it this way or else. Then Paul adds with all longsuffering so the drill sergeant throws his arms around you and says, I’m telling you this because I love you and it’s for the good of us all. The only thing that is going to sustain us in times of trouble is the Bible doctrine that we have metabolized into our soul; all of the beautiful songs and ritual and the elegant garb, worn by many, won’t sustain anyone for a minute when problems arise. To live in this world we need all the Bible doctrine we can get. Matthew 4:4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. Sounds like I’m back on my soapbox, so it must be time to go. CDBJ |
