421 | Why is the Catholic bible different? | 2 Tim 3:16 | CDBJ | 183860 | ||
Greetings, Are you suggesting that the Torah is inaccurate, since the Jewish Scribes rejected all of the writings of the Apocrypha? You suggest that the following verses were directed toward the Catholic Church since you stated. “The early Catholic Church, guided by the Holy Spirit (Jn 14:26, 16:13 Acts 2:1-5) complied a canon of writings which, through the guidance of the Spirit, they deemed inspired” It takes a real vivid imagination to construct “any” denomination from the word “you”, as used in the passages you suggested. John 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. 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. Acts 2:1-5 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. 2And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. 3And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. 4And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. 5And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven. I have always been under the impression that the word, “you”, was a personal pronoun? The Holy Spirit directs “individuals” that have put their “total faith” in the finished work of the Son of God, Jesus, not collective denominations. Christ is building His own church, apart from any denomination, and all of the members are a part of that one body and Christ is the head. Those that put their faith and hope in “any particular denomination” are going to have a rude awakening as soon as they take their last breath! 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. 22Many 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? 23And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. Faith in Jesus isn’t a religious or denominational issue; it’s a relationship matter and the word “believe” needs clarification in order to be truly effective. Have a good day, CDBJ |

423 | Still not convinced preterism is false | Matt 16:28 | CDBJ | 183750 | ||
Hello Coper, Well if your synopsis is true then it should be a very easy matter to point out who the man of sin was? Let’s not even bother mentioning “Titus” since he didn’t fulfill any of the following prerequisites when he besieged Jerusalem. 2 Thes. 2:1-9 Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you, 2not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ had come. 3Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, 4who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. 5Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things? 6And now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his own time. 7For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way. 8And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming. 9The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, Since you suggest that the “we” always means those in existence at the time, I guess that the dating of the fall of Jerusalem must have been before AD 70 since Paul says the following. 1 Thes. 4:15 For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep. Records suggest that Paul was martyred in AD 67 something doesn’t quite fit. On the other hand, If “we” is rhetorical in certain places why can't it be rhetorical in other places? Is the entire book of Revelation disregarded by Preterits or only certain portions? CDBJ |

Hi Coper, Since the emphasis was on the clouds receiving Jesus when He left maybe the cloud situation will be obvious when he returns? Rev. 1:7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen. AD 70 will seam like a Sunday school picnic when the following takes place and people won’t be wondering about what’s taking place, they will know for certain! Rev. 6:12-17 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; 13And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. 14And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. 15And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; 16And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: 17For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand? 2 Thes. 1:7-8 And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, 8In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: Matthew 13:30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn. Matthew 13:41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; Matthew 24:31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. Believers will be looking up and unbelievers will be looking down for a rock to crawl under! Nobody will be looking back to AD 70 though. Matthew 24:29-31 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: 30And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. Have fun, CDBJ |

Greetings, You suggest in your post a certain demeaning quality that Luther possessed with regards to his expertise on canonicity; could you expatiate on that and where in particular do you found him to be errant and why? Was this quality one that expressed its self while he was still an unbeliever? CDBJ |

428 | Baptized before serving in choir | 1 Cor 12:13 | CDBJ | 183276 | ||
Greetings Azurelaw, I would have gotten back to you sooner but my computer decided to be obstinate with regards to the internet. I would sure hate to think that the only reason one would be baptized would be to satisfy the requirements designated as such to be able to sing in a choir. Out of pure reason; if one wasn’t eager to be baptized, just because the Lord commanded it, I would question their motive to want to praise Him in song. If one doesn’t exhibit faithfulness in respect to the Lord’s desire why would someone even want them in their choir? This is “strictly my viewpoint”! CDBJ |

Hi Morton, Sorry to be so late at returning to your post but I was busy with a huge snow removal project in St Martine, due to the global warming; just kidding! When you get some time why don’t you tell us a little about yourself in the personal profile section of the forum? You can click on the Author of a post and read some about the author; give it a try.

434 | The "dramatic addition" is extrabiblical | Luke 2:5 | CDBJ | 181493 | ||
Greetings, Taking into consideration all of the meticulous studying that you have pursued in your quest of Bible knowledge; what do you consider to be most pertinent single doctrine that God conveys to mankind? Let’s say if you could elaborate on just one aspect of the Bible what would it be; or putting it another way: if a person only had six weeks to live and you had the privilege of communicating the Bible to that person, what would you want them to know? James 3:1 Let not many of you become teachers, my brethren, knowing that as such we shall incur a stricter judgment. Have a great day, CDBJ |

Greetings BD and Merry Christmas, Your questions and obsession with details on certain aspect of Scripture fascinates me.

436 | If not Jesus, then who could it be? | NT general Archive 1 | CDBJ | 181252 | ||
Hi Pete, The Bible forum has certain standards set up because often times the adversary of true Bible doctrine, satanic activity, tries to use the human element to dislodge the truth of God's infallible Word. As a result certain actions take place that interrupt his evil efforts and the visible answers are deleted to protect the flock of God. 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. Col. 4:6 Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man. Col. 3:8 But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth. I hope this is a sufficient answer for your question? 2 Cor. 2:11 Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. Enjoy the forum, CDBJ |

Hi Cuddle, It's a great help if you can write out the verse quoted. EXAMPLE: Isaiah 40:22 It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in: I know its more work but most won’t bother to actually look up your answer and read if it isn’t right there in front of them. It looks like you are finding your way around in the forum better; have fun, CDBJ |

438 | What translation do you prefer and why? | Heb 6:6 | CDBJ | 181124 | ||
Hi Kalos, That's why we have the verse, 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 following verse only applies to the original, not the English translations, but I think we are very blessed to have all the great translations that are available to us. 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: Even with the English translations, when one considers all of the verses given on the numerous subjects, one can establish a pretty accurate navigational fix. Psalm 119:160 (NASB) The sum of Thy word is truth, And every one of Thy righteous ordinances is everlasting. Where the problem comes in is when believers gets something so soldered in their heads that they can’t let a new thought shake loose. i.e. Paradigm paralysis. If all of the Scriptures on any given subject don't agree, then there is something wrong with the thesis or opinion. Isn’t it great being free to serve the Lord!!! John 8:36 "If therefore the Son shall make you free, you shall be free indeed. Have fun brother, CDBJ |

439 | What translation do you prefer and why? | Heb 6:6 | CDBJ | 181110 | ||
Hi New Creature, I am fully cognizant of the fact that the word “if” doesn’t exist in the Koine Greek of Heb. 6:6. I am also aware that in order to convey the same train of thought from Koine Greek to English, certain word have to be inserted. The word “if” as a thought in the Koine emphasis four different conditions; 1. if, and it is true 2. if, and it’s not true 3. if, as a wish; maybe yes maybe no 4. The fourth and final class condition, if and I wish it were true, but it’s not. “If” you would like scriptural examples of the uses of all four of the different class conditions of the “if clauses” I will provide you with them. It’s nearly impossible to convey the thought process from the Koine Greek to the English and still maintain the same number of words. Here is one of the best examples I know of. 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; That really sounds sanctimonious in the English but (if) one understood it in the Koine or common Greek it would sound like this. Ephes. 4:14 Don’t be like a newborn kid in God’s family, falling for everything you hear, because if you don’t know Bible doctrine, it’s like shooting craps with the devil and the devil has loaded the dice! Thus the “if” clauses are inserted for clarity! Now the other topic: I don’t want to, and really can’t, convince someone of eternal security. The reason is because I might be trying to convince someone of something they don’t really have! It’s has to be the Holy Spirit that does all the convincing. It really cracks me up how people try to emphasize just how many ways they can be lost or loose their salvation! I know, I’ve been there done that! Matthew 16:17 (B) Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. The more I study the more fantastic God becomes to me! Have a great day anyway and have fun, CDBJ |

Hi Jeff and thanks, I think Kalos had the better answer and it expatiates on what I have suggested even down to the finer points, if one is willing to check out the site? I have found out, from experience that recipients of the forum are less apt to move off to a www site even though it would be to their advantage and growth. Here is an excellent explanation of, 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. This is well worth reading and a real chance to grow in grace; this teacher has been a real blessing to me in the past and he knows his Hebrew; thus it is in my “Favorites” section. http://www.zionsfire.org/daniel.html CDBJ |
