161 | Rapture | 1 Thess 4:17 | CDBJ | 216841 | ||
Hi John, Paul had informed those in Thessalonica personally about the things that would be taking place just before the Lord’s return but they were neglecting to assimilate the doctrine that he had taught them and apply it to their experience. Paul told them that they would be persecuted but that the Lord would avenge those that will be doing the persecution even though it will seem like He delays His vengeance on their part. When Paul uses the words “they and them” he is referring to those outside of Christ or those that don’t obey the gospel message. When he uses the words “we and us”, it’s a reference to those that have believed the gospel message and have trusted in Christ Jesus. 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. Things are going to get so bad that believers will assume that the Lord has delayed His coming because they are under the assumption that believers wouldn’t be going through such hard times but the Lord is a Just judge. Luke 18:1-8 And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint; 2Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man: 3And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary. 4And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man; 5Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me. 6And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith. 7And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them? 8I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth? There is a time coming when the Lord will receive prayer from His believers from both sides of the grave because of the intense persecution. Rev. 6:9-10 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: 10And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? The Lord’s return will seem like it is way overdue to many who have been deceived into believing that they will escape the torture that is to come from the deceiver. 2 Thes. 1:5-6 Which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer: 6Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you; There is a time coming when believers will think that they missed the rapture because they have been told that they would be removed before the great persecution by antichrist takes place but Christ and Paul taught otherwise. 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; 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. I personally “do not like the thought of this” but it’s the Lord’s purpose and design and He can give me the grace to go through it if I don’t loose heart. Luke 18:7-8 And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them? 8I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth? CDBJ |

Greetings, I have read just about everything I can on eschatology and to date "The Sign" is the most accurate that I have come across. I was able to talk with the author about a year before he went home to be with the Lord and I was very impressed with his knowledge of future events, which he pulled from the Old Testament as well as the New. The beauty of his book is the way he pulled all of the Scripture together so that there weren’t any verses that seemed to contradict each other. Have a great day, CDBJ |

164 | Rapture | 1 Thess 4:17 | CDBJ | 216823 | ||
This is a reference to those that don’t know Bible doctrine, or they are outside of Christ. 1 Thes. 5:2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. The next verse covers those that do know Bible doctrine. 1 Thes. 5:4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. What is the sign of His coming, I can’t speak for you or what you know. 1 John 2:28 And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming. 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. The disciples ask Christ what the signs would be and he gave them the answer to their three-part question. Matthew 24:3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? Have we been deceived as to when the Lord will return? Matthew 24:4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. 2 Thes. 2:3 (A) 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; CDBJ |

Greetings Vantage 68, Do you believe that as God’s children we will have a close idea as to when this time, we call the rapture, will take place? When the Scripture says "the day or the hour" that is being relatively close don’t you think; how about the times and the seasons, that leaves us an approximation? The Bible is explicit in telling us when God will take vengeance on those that persecute His elect. 2 Thes. 1:10 When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day. It appears as though God is going to accomplish two separate events on the same day, remove His believers, at the rapture, and pour out His wrath on unbelievers who are left, both events on the same day; much the same as He did during the days of Noah and Lot.

166 | can a child be baptised | Bible general Archive 4 | CDBJ | 216722 | ||
Greetings, I have a hard enough time studying God’s Word, the Bible, in the hours that have been allotted to me for study time. If I would spend time “trying” to examine all of the world’s false doctrines there would be no time left for truth. Our treasury department couldn’t begin to examine all of the false bills that are being produced, so they spend all their time knowing the real thing so that any fake bills stands out like a sore thumb. I think that concept builds a good standard regarding the Christian way of life. 2 Tim. 2:15 Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, handling accurately the word of truth. My point of view, CDBJ |

167 | Christologically Pregnant Passages | Titus 2:13 | CDBJ | 216685 | ||
Hi Tim, All I am saying is that it couldn’t be the word Son; the Greek Interlinear points out the Koine IDIOU which could refer to The Lord or God. The poster suggested "blood of his own son". If the word Son were to be used in place of God or Lord in the English it would have to have been translated from HUIOS which would be in the masculine gender but it is in the neuter gender of EDIOU or Him self which in essence has to infer that the blood was that of Christ and as a result Jesus Christ is God since God doesn't have blood as God but when God took on the form of a man He then had blood and was able to pay the price demanded for our sin. Hebrews 9:22 And according to the Law, one may almost say, all things are cleansed with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no forgiveness. CDBJ |
||||||
168 | Christologically Pregnant Passages | Titus 2:13 | CDBJ | 216666 | ||
The reference mentioned, "blood of his own son" isn't the implication here because the word used comes from the word IDIOU an adjective which is in the genetive, neuter, singular. The genetive is that of source, i.e. is God and if it ment the Son it would be masculine gender but it's in the neuter. CDBJ |

Greetings, REF. Acts 20:28 The church of the Lord would be wrong because the word in the Koine Greek is THEOU which is God. the word for Lord, Kurios isn't used in the passage. CDBJ |

170 | Holy Spirit convicts of sin? | 2 Tim 2:15 | CDBJ | 215049 | ||
Greetings, This might be what you are looking for. John 16:7-11 Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you. 8And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: 9of sin, because they do not believe in Me; 10of righteousness, because I go to My Father and you see Me no more; 11of judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged.

171 | Why did God tell Abraham to kill his son | Gen 22:2 | CDBJ | 214968 | ||
Greetings sir, I have read the majority of your comments and it all culminates in the same conclusion that you are correct and God “must have been wrong” in asking Abraham to do something that “you” do not fully understand! Has it ever come to you attention that God is not obligated to manifest His intentions to us when He does something? Romans 11:33 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out! Have a nice day, CDBJ |

172 | Is tithing a command for chriatians? | 2 Cor 9:7 | CDBJ | 214832 | ||
Greetings MJH, I like your take on grace. Many times, we get the idea that as New Testament believers we have the curb on grace, which is a delusion at best. If it were not for grace, “God’s mercy in action”, we would not even have an Old Testament! CDBJ |

173 | Bible Version for Lutheran | 2 Tim 3:14 | CDBJ | 214346 | ||
Greetings; If you are a beginner at studying the Bible, I hope you do not make the same mistake that I did many years ago by starting in Geneses. Some dear believer pointed me in the right direction by telling me to read the New Testament first and before reading it, “always” ask God to reveal the truth that it contained and then believe what He reveals to you from His Word and He will show you more. It has changed my whole life as a result and has caused a personal relationship with the Lord Himself! The Lord Jesus Christ is alive and He wants to have a personal relationship with you as well. After being a student of God’s Word for close to 45 years now that is the best information that I could ever pass on to a beginner at reading God’s precious Word. Have a great day, CDBJ |

174 | Actual bodies in heaven? | 1 John 3:2 | CDBJ | 214072 | ||
Greetings, I am in a position to learn something from scripture that I didn’t know or hadn’t considered. If my memory serves me right you are the one that refuted the scriptures that were posted. So please state your scriptural evidence with chapter and verse that proves that what was posted is in error; it is a Bible study not a theological inference group. 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: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.

175 | Actual bodies in heaven? | 1 John 3:2 | CDBJ | 214055 | ||
Greetings, Very well taken but I believe we should take these “one” at a time if we are to concentrate on truth. Let’s, if we may, focus on the Lord’s location for starters just using scripture to solidify the correct answer. I would like to suggest the following with regards to direction which is opposite of gravity, as it were. Acts 7:55-56 But being full of the Holy Spirit, he gazed intently into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God; 56and he said, "Behold, I see the heavens opened up and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God." It wasn’t so distant that Steven couldn’t see and recognize Jesus but it was up. 2 Cor. 12:2 I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago-- whether in the body I do not know, or out of the body I do not know, God knows-- such a man was caught up to the third heaven. 2 Cor. 12:4 was caught up into Paradise, and heard inexpressible words, which a man is not permitted to speak. 1 Thes. 4:17 Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and thus we shall always be with the Lord. Rev. 3:12 'He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he will not go out from it anymore; and I will write upon him the name of My God, and the name of the city of My God, the new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from My God, and My new name. Rev. 12:5 And she gave birth to a son, a male child, who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron; and her child was caught up to God and to His throne. Rev. 12:12 "For this reason, rejoice, O heavens and you who dwell in them. Woe to the earth and the sea, because the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, knowing that he has only a short time." Rev. 21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth passed away, and there is no longer any sea. These are a few off of the top of my head that point to the fact that heaven is actually “up” CDBJ |

176 | Actual bodies in heaven? | 1 John 3:2 | CDBJ | 213999 | ||
Greetings friend, I would “assume” that you believe in what is referred to as the Trinity? “Here is a good and fun challenge,” Find one place in the Bible, just one, where it says the word Trinity. This reference must say Trinity; if this is the true teaching of scripture then the Bible should have a number of references that say Trinity. Can you find any? I hope you realize that I am being facetious! That being the case: 2 Cor. 5:5-8 Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit. 6Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord: 7(For we walk by faith, not by sight:) 8We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. Where is the Lord Jesus Christ at this present time? I hope you say heaven? In 2 Cor. 5:8 The words “present with” the Lord in the original Greek of the New Testament is, “PROS ENDEMESAI” which is in the accusative case, which is causative, and could be translated, face to face with the Lord. Now since Jesus is in heaven where would it place the one who is face to face with Him? This is what is known as pedagogy by deductive reasoning. 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: Psalm 119:160 The sum of Thy word is truth, And every one of Thy righteous ordinances is everlasting. Have a great day, CDBJ |

177 | Christ reincarnated is it acceptable doc | Bible general Archive 4 | CDBJ | 213870 | ||
The word reincarnation isn't mentioned in the Bible. Reincarnation and resurrection are two completely different things altogether. God’s Word doesn’t even suggest such a thing as reincarnation. Reincarnation alludes to the possibility of one’s soul coming back in say a cow, a rat, a bird, etc, etc. The soul of mankind when it leaves the body either goes to be with the Lord or it instantly goes to a place of torment; It all depends on what one believes about God’s Son, Jesus Christ. John 14:6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through Me. No one can do anything that they may assume to be good, that would please God. God wants us to trust in what He did for us on the cross in the person of Jesus, i.e, putting their complete hope for eternal life in the hands of God and trusting the work He did! Eternal life can’t be earned; it’s a free gift that God Himself paid for. Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Ephes. 2:8 For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; CDBJ |

178 | John's death | John 1:1 | CDBJ | 213834 | ||
Hi MJH, This confirms what you suggest even though it is extrabiblical. Fox’s Book of Martrys XVI. John The “beloved disciple,” was brother to James the Great. The churches of Smyrna, Pergamos, Sardis, Philadelphia, Laodicea, and Thyatira, were founded by him. From Ephesus he was ordered to be sent to Rome, where it is affirmed he was cast into a cauldron of boiling oil. He escaped by miracle, without injury. Domitian afterwards banished him to the Isle of Patmos, where he wrote the Book of Revelation. Nerva, the successor of Domitian, recalled him. He was the only apostle who escaped a violent death. Have a great day, CDBJ |

179 | wiping feet with hair? | Luke 7:40 | CDBJ | 213833 | ||
Hi Catfish, I know exactly where you are coming from. I find, as someone once quipped, “people are sitting on the premises rather then standing on the promises”. It is ten times harder to unlearn bad doctrine then it is to exchange it for true Bible supported facts. People get something fixed in their heads, even though it’s way out of context with what the sum of God’s word teaches and it’s like trying to move The Rock of Gibraltar with a shovel. Psalm 119:160 NASB The sum of Thy word is truth, And every one of Thy righteous ordinances is everlasting. When trying to straighten out false doctrine with numerous scriptures, that they have never considered before, people look at the teacher like he has two heads or something. Ephes. 4:14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; You’re not alone brother, CDBJ |
