481 | verse explains nonChrist knowing savior | 2 Cor 5:15 | CDBJ | 178291 | ||
Greetings BP, The antithesis of parish, in 2 Peter 3:9, is “repentance”, designated by the superordinate contrastive conjunction (alla) in the Greek or (but) in the English. 2 Peter 3:9 (B) not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. I think it would be interesting to hear your outtake on the word, repentance, i.e. (metanoia), from an Oxford point of view, assuming that Strong’s 3340 and 3341 wouldn’t be the suggested route? Have a good day, CDBJ |

482 | verse explains nonChrist knowing savior | 2 Cor 5:15 | CDBJ | 178214 | ||
Hello jaydnson, The Holy Spirit has a world wide ministry and He is the one that reveals truth no matter where people are located. Brake down the following, John 16:7-9 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; It’s the personal work of the Holy Spirit that convicts people that they aren’t believing in Christ, there is nothing we can do to convince them! 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. 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. There is no area that God can’t reach with His Message in order to bring His pre chosen ones into the family.

483 | Sound reason on Genesis genealogies | Genesis | CDBJ | 178211 | ||
Greetings mkwr, Do you think it would be wise to practice the following with regards to genealogies? I don’t see where there can be any loopholes or gaps in the following command; do you? Titus 3:9 But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain. Have a nice day, CDBJ |

Hi CIB, I think your post got posted one thread off from its intended destination. Try sending it again but make sure you are reading Cristy222 when posting. It sure makes me feel good to know that others make the same silly mistakes that I make! Isn’t it great to know that our salvation depends entirely on the Lord and not us: if it depended on us we could find a million ways to mess it up! John 10:27-30 "My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me; [28] and I give eternal life to them, and they shall never perish; and no one shall snatch them out of My hand. [29] "My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand. [30] "I and the Father are one." Have fun, CDBJ |

485 | Rapture beforeTribulation?? | Matt 24:31 | CDBJ | 177644 | ||
Greetings, What happens immediately (after) the tribulation of those days? Matthew 24:29 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: Matthew 24:31 (B) they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. Those are believers in the Lord Jesus Christ that are being removed “before” God pours out His wrath. There are some that would argue that those mentioned Matt 24:31 are only 'tribulational saints” but the fact is God treats all of his elect the same and is no respecter of persons, all believers are treated by grace and all can claim the promises of God. 1 Thes. 5:9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, The period called the tribulation is directed towards the people of God and they are the object of Satan’s vengeance, which “is not” the wrath of God. 2 Thes. 1:5 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: The rapture, as we call it, and the wrath of God both take place on the exact same day, and it won’t be some sneaky inconspicuous removal of God’s elect. Contrary to the popular teaching of today, the whole world will know what is about to happen and every eye will see the Lord coming in the clouds of heaven. 2 Thes. 1:7-10 And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, [8] In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: [9] Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power; [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. Rev. 6:16-17 And 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: [17] For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand? The unfolding of Christ return will be the most glorious exhibition that mankind has ever witnessed on this earth. If the return of Christ is an any moment situation, and before the tribulation, every believer would be ready or they wouldn’t be a believer in the first place. Now if we need to prepare ourselves as believers for the worst persecution that the world has ever known that’s going to take a lot of preparation and faith to be ready. The faith of many will wax cold due to what they are going to go through. Luke 18:6-8 And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith. [7] And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them? [8] I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth? But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be delivered. If it’s a pretribulation rapture it sure won’t take much endurance now will it! CDBJ |

486 | The GAP theory could be true. | Genesis | CDBJ | 177579 | ||
Hi Doc, I agree with you and it sure isn't an issue worth losing any sleep over, at least from my point of view and five years later! There is nothing like digging up old laundry and airing it out. It looks like I’m still trying to put the cat back in the bag and I feel like I’m getting pretty clawed up in the process and by my own cat. 1 Thes. 5:21 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.

487 | The GAP theory could be true. | Genesis | CDBJ | 177525 | ||
Greetings John and I too would like welcome you to the forum. I decided to drop the issue with regards to the “Gap theory” because it was raising too many problems on the forum and I didn’t want to cause a problem whereby one might stumble. 1 Cor. 8:13 Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to offend. Getting the message out about Christ is my main objective: if something stands in the way of that objective I stop and regroup. I would rather win a soul to the Lord then win a debate over a verse of Scripture that I can't utterly prove with Scripture in the first place. Have a great day, CDBJ |

488 | The Rock of Israel in the Wilderness? | Gen 28:18 | CDBJ | 177462 | ||
Hi Jim E, You seem to be pretty good at figuring things out, from reading your previous posts. Considering the total population that came out of Egypt, men, woman, and children, including all the cattle added in: approximately how large a “pipe” or hole, would you think it would have taken to supply enough water for all of Israel’s needs? It sure wasn’t a trickle coming out of that rock, as most people have pictured in their minds; I’m guessing a minimum of a 30” pipe or larger and really gushing at full tilt! Have fun, CDBJ |

Hi Prayon, Well I guess what I am saying is that I don’t completely understand what you were saying. What exactly is your statement inferring? There are days when this poor old head can’t quite fathom certain things. You said; “When putting all these verses together it tells us that any duly constituted body of believers, acting on the authority of Gods word, has the authority to declare if someone is forgiven or unforgiven.” Doesn’t that statement kind of lean toward Romanism or did I miss something somewhere? This following statement has me a little confused as well. “For example if the church says an unrepented person” What kind of a person would that be; what is an unrepented person? Could you just expound on this a little for the sake of one that doesn’t catch on to things very fast? The one being me, CDBJ |

Hi Prayon, What is your take on this section that you posted? “an unrepented person is bound in sin” What would this type of person “not be” exhibiting , as it were? CDBJ |

492 | Why do we ignore parts of Moses' laws? | Rom 6:14 | CDBJ | 176985 | ||
Greetings Iktoose, That was a very interesting and I had to do some research on that one. From what I could find out, Jesus was leaving Judea and making the trip North in John chapter four. There was another route He could have taken that was to the East which passed along the banks of the Jordan River. That was a route most often used by the Jews so they could avoid the Samaritans. The time period of the verse in John 4 could have been connected and be the earlier part of the same journey as described in Matt. 15 and 16, which ended up at its most northern point in Sidon. Here is an interesting thought that I found in, (BKC) From John 4:26 and the Fact of Jesus declaring who He is. (Bible Knowledge Commentary) 4:26. This self-declaration by Jesus Himself—I… am He (the Messiah)—is unusual. Normally in His ministry in Galilee and Judea (cf. 6:15) because of political implications, He veiled His office and used the title “Son of Man.” But with this Samaritan the dangers of revolt by national zealots were not a problem. From everything that I have found I would say that the encounter with the Samaritan woman in John 4, took place before the session with the disciples in Matt. 16. No absolute Biblical proof though, one way or the other as I can see. Again, good question, maybe someone else can shed some light on this; someone that has expertise on the travels of Jesus and can fit Matthew, Mark, Luke and John into the proper time frames. Have a great day, CDBJ |

493 | Why do we ignore parts of Moses' laws? | Rom 6:14 | CDBJ | 176960 | ||
I find no evidence in God’s Word that suggest what you a claiming. You stated: “Under the New covenant the apostles were given the authority to interpret and change the law.” Is that some kind of a new revelation or just a different slant that you’re trying to establish? I think the following might straighten this up a little. Matthew 5:18 "For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke shall pass away from the Law, until all is accomplished. I would surmise that the previous verses would include the word “change” as well or is that being too presumptuous on my part? The binding and loosing that you quote in Matt. 16:19 is the fact that Peter knew who the Jesus was, and as the Messiah the Son of God He would open the way to heaven. i.e. Peter now had the key but he was forbidden to tell others “at that time”. Matthew 16:20 Then He warned the disciples that they should tell no one that He was the Christ. The only connection that the law has with Matt. 16:19 is the fact of being curse by it and Christ is the key to being set free from it. CDBJ |

495 | What happened under the fig tree? | John 1:48 | CDBJ | 176957 | ||
Hello BK, I have a three part question: 1. Why would God, as you stated, have to send Jesus? “God knowing he would pray sent Jesus to observe his prayer.” 2. Wouldn’t Jesus already know what was going on without being sent there? 3. What verses of the Bible, that you found, actually tells what Nathanael was doing under the tree. That’s a very nice sanctimonious story but I think he was digging for worms so he could go fishing in the Jordan River that day. While digging in the shade of the tree, where the ground hadn’t dried out, a gofer bit him on the finger and he looked around to see if anyone noticed because he was embarrassed, and no one was there. I can’t prove that either! Please advise, CDBJ |

496 | my sister is living a lie | Phil 3:17 | CDBJ | 176949 | ||
Greetings, Here is a web site that is helpful when it comes to cults like the JW. It exposes their way of thinking and suggests Bible verses that combat the heresy that is taught by them. http://www.letusreason.org/JWdir.htm I would just like to add; that no matter how much Scripture we proclaim or present to a person, it’s the work of the Holy Spirit that reveals truth to them and be sure and pray that they Lord will open their eyes to the truth. 2 Tim. 2:24-26 And the Lord's bond-servant must not be quarrelsome, but be kind to all, able to teach, patient when wronged, [25] with gentleness correcting those who are in opposition, if perhaps God may grant them repentance leading to the knowledge of the truth, [26] and they may come to their senses and escape from the snare of the devil, having been held captive by him to do his will. When I first believed in Christ I had a king size burden for the lost and I would Bible whip people to the point that I muddied up the water and probably did more harm then good. My first pastor pointed something out to me that took a lot of the mental anguish from me, because I assumed that if I didn’t get the gospel message into the minds of people that their fate rested in my hands, as it were. Matthew 16:13-17 Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, He began asking His disciples, saying, "Who do people say that the Son of Man is?" [14] And they said, "Some say John the Baptist; and others, Elijah; but still others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets." [15] He said to them, "But who do you say 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 to him, "Blessed are you, Simon Barjona, because flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but My Father who is in heaven. My pastor pointed this part out to me: flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but My Father who is in heaven Faith comes by hearing but God has to make it real to their experience, we can’t do it. Paul had this to say to those that had believed by his giving out the Word. 1 Cor. 3:5-7 What then is Apollos? And what is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, even as the Lord gave opportunity to each one. [6] I planted, Apollos watered, but God was causing the growth. [7] So then neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but God who causes the growth. Have a great day, CDBJ |

Hello, it’s nice to see new posters on the forum, It takes a while to learn how to negotiate the forum. If you will look on the far right side of the one you just posted too you will see that the posting that you answered is over five years old. Did you really mean to say Luke 16:22 instead of 12:22? Where does it suggest that the olfactory sense or the sense of smell was in operation? In Genesis 2:7, didn’t God actually breath into mans body and he became a living soul? You’re doing just fine keep on posting; the only ones that don't make any mistakes on this forum are the ones that don’t post! Have fun, CDBJ |

Greetings C, Don't sweet the small stuff it might not even have been your fault. All I did was mark it as such so that it wouldn’t stay in the upper portion of the question section of the forum. You could have done the same thing by answering one your own post and answering with the words, “double post” and then sent the answer back to yourself through the forum.

Philip. 3:13-14 Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, [14] I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
