1341 | Saved vs. Works (John 5:24 and 5:28-29) | John 5:24 | CDBJ | 60639 | ||
The key to what James is talking about is found in verse 2:18, with the words show me. James 2:18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. Someone once said, (What you do speaks so loud that I can’t hear what you are trying to tell me.) What this means is, that if we are going to profess to be Christians or Christ like, our life better show it other wise keep quiet. If we are going to talk the talk we better walk the walk because we are being watched. 2 Cor. 5:15 And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again. 2 Cor. 5:20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God. |

1342 | Saved vs. Works (John 5:24 and 5:28-29) | John 5:24 | CDBJ | 60637 | ||
Where does it show in James that we are saved by work? Are you saying that if a person is a paraplegic that they can’t be saved? If that were the case then God would be a respecter of persons. Romans 2:11 For there is no respect of persons with God. |

1343 | HI EdB | Bible general Archive 1 | CDBJ | 57338 | ||
Well put, it blows my mind how some people think that the can bribe the God of the entire universe by giving a measly portion of their puny income. Then there are some of the great TV preachers that tell people that they can’t out give God; what ever happen to grace? | ||||||
1344 | Thankful To Be Alive! | Bible general Archive 1 | CDBJ | 57336 | ||
HI Hank, sorry to hear about your problem and I will pray for you for sure. There aren’t many like you on the forum that have a good sense of humor. So many believers feel that they should be somber and always have the hangdog expression, and that it is wrong to have fun and laugh a little. Here is a little poem that I put together for a fellow in my church that was going through some rough health problems the same as yours. CDBJ HELP IS NEAR Fret not thyself oh child of God, when problems they arise. The Lord’s directing in your life, to Him there’s no surprise. “Fear thou not,” the Lord commands, I’ll help you all the way. I’ll strengthen in your time of need, if you’ll but stop and pray. Trust in the Lord, He’s there for you, to lead you through this trial. He’ll guide your footsteps on life’s road, and go that extra mile. You are the chosen of the Lord and will not be betrayed. Your hope is anchored to the rock; so do not be dismayed. We walk by faith and not by sight, in the body we reside. The Lord will call us home some day, and in this we confide. |

1345 | Mumbo jumbo? | John 1:1 | CDBJ | 56744 | ||
Hi Kalos, I must admit that a lot from Strong is Greek to me, but in looking up the meaning of mumbo jumbo in my dictionary, this is what I came up with. Afr. orig.: meaning, form, and dialect uncert. 1. among certain West African tribes, an idol or god believed to protect the people from evil and terrorize the women into subjection. I don't think that the term mombo jumbo comes from any verses that I have read in any of the Bibles that I use. That seems like a strangs term to use, coming from a person who only wants Scripture.

1346 | is jesus god? | John 1:1 | CDBJ | 56502 | ||
Greetings Kalos, the Greek word HUIOS, translated Son, isn’t even found in the verse, but then again they don’t follow the original language anyway. It looks like the adversary has created another tool for blinding people so they don’t see the glorious truth about Christ. 2 Cor. 4:3-4 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: [4] In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

1347 | is jesus god? | John 1:1 | CDBJ | 56498 | ||
It seems as though the NWT is just about as valuable as confederate money was back in 1865 just after the war and worth about as much too. | ||||||
1348 | is jesus god? | John 1:1 | CDBJ | 56493 | ||
Hi Hank, I wonder how the NWT deals with Acts 20:28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood. The only way this is possible is for one to admit that Jesus Christ is God. CDBJ |

1350 | Pastors and Salaries | 1 Cor 9:10 | CDBJ | 52402 | ||
The word pastors in the NT, comes to us from Eph. Ephes. 4:11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; A pastor is actually a gift from the Lord. It is the Greek word (POIMEN) and carries the connotation of a shepherd. It should be tied together with (DIDASKALOS) which is one who teaches. Jeremiah adds the first light on the subject. Jeremiah 2:8 The priests said not, Where is the LORD? and they that handle the law knew me not: the pastors also transgressed against me, and the prophets prophesied by Baal, and walked after things that do not profit. Jeremiah 3:15 And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding. Jeremiah 10:21 For the pastors are become brutish, and have not sought the LORD: therefore they shall not prosper, and all their flocks shall be scattered. Jeremiah 22:22 The wind shall eat up all thy pastors, and thy lovers shall go into captivity: surely then shalt thou be ashamed and confounded for all thy wickedness. Jeremiah 23:1 Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! saith the LORD. I hope this helps, CDBJ |

Baptism it seems has surely created some barriers even though Eph. 4:5 claims that it is a unifier by the use of the word one, which is the Greek word (HICE). Ephes. 4:5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism, The reason it can say this is that it follows the order of, first Lord then faith in Him, Jesus, and the baptism that unifies follows, which is automatic. It is done for us and has nothing to do with water. It is a dry baptism as it were. All of the wet baptisms mentioned in the Bible are nothing more then a ritual. The dry baptisms on the other hand are real and we receive them with out any works on our part; they come about as a result of one's state of mind, that is to say the way you think or one's mind set with regards to Jesus the Christ. There are two dry baptisms, there is one for believers and there is one for unbelievers. The one unifying baptism for believers, mentioned in Eph. 4:5, is the Holy Ghost. The baptism that will unify unbelievers is that of fire; the administrator of both baptisms is the Lord Jesus Christ: John the Baptist knew this truth as he testified to it in Matthew's Gospel as he was speaking to some who would believe and others who would not. 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: Every one will receive one baptism or the other and it all depends on what people think of the person of Jesus, the Christ of God, and that will sets the stage for the baptism they will receive. |

1352 | Mark 16:16 what does it say? | Bible general Archive 1 | CDBJ | 50882 | ||
There are many such churches in West Virginia that still handle snakes. Every so often someone gets bit with disastrous results. Even with all this you never hear of anyone drinking a nice ice-cold tall glass of strychnine or a big frosted mug of cyanide. Now if those that think Mark 16:18 is for us today you would think that they would be imbibing in the fine acts of proper libation by downing a few of these faith testers! Test results. 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. |

1356 | WHAT IS THAT LIGHT IN GENESIS 1:3? | Bible general Archive 1 | CDBJ | 46925 | ||
Amen to that! John 1:5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. Hank have you ever wondered if anyone has come to the saving knowledge of Christ as a result of the comments on the forum? Sometimes it seems like we are beating our heads aginst a brick wall! I know saints are being feed, because I have learned things myself, but I often wonder about those that haven't trusted in Jesus Christ for eternal life yet, if any have come to Christ on the forum as a result of what has been taught?

1360 | Is the Formula for sin to hate anything? | John 3:14 | CDBJ | 46800 | ||
Dear little Giam, try this out. Hote emem nepios elaloun hos nepios elogizomen hos nepios hote gegona aner katergeka ta tou nepiou This is Koine Greek for what you should be doing, and this is how it reads. When I was a child I use to speak like a child, I use to think like a child, I use to reason like a child, when I had become a man, I abolished the things of a child. En phileo, CDBJ |
