Hello JimmyHen, I’m note trying to make any particular point; I am just trying to figure out where it is you are coming from. You are one of the few that has posted on the forum more then fifteen times and yet have neglected to put anything about yourself in the personal profile section. It’s always nice to be able to see where a person stands. I guess everyone has a motive for what they do, or should I say what they neglect to do. Many aren’t even aware that all they have to do is click on the name of the author of any post to fine out a little something about the author. Usually those that neglect to fill out this portion on the forum have an ulterior motive and they don’t want to be found out. There have been times in the past when members have stopped posting to the above mentioned types because they surmise that they are up to no good since they are holding something back. Matthew 5:14-16 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. [15] Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. [16] Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. Most of the forthright members of the forum follow this pattern. 2 Cor. 4:1-4 Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not; [2] But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God. [3] 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. I hope this is the pattern that you are trying to follow and that you will share something with us on your personal profile, CDBJ |

645 | Aliennow Can Satan enter belivers heart | Matt 5:13 | CDBJ | 160337 | ||
Hi ebrain, It's nice being able to talk to brothers in Christ form all over the world. In one of your former post you made a statement that I can half agree with you on. "Judas was not a beliver, in fact no one was untill after the resurection." Judas was definitely not a believer but there were many believers before the resurrection. Prime example, the Faith chapter in Heb. 11 The word faith has been translated form the Koine Greek, root words, PEITHO or PISTIS. It’s interesting that in the book of John the same word, Pistis, is translated believe in the English, while in other books the word faith is used; the two words are synonyms. The only difference between believers of the Old Testament and those on the New Testament is the direction they are looking at God’s Messiah. They looked forwards to His coming as promised and we look back when He was here with the privilege of knowing His earthly name, Jesus or Yeshua HaMashiach , with the promise having being fulfilled. John 8:56-58 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad. [57] Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham? [58] Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am. Hebrews 10:5 Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me: One would be safe in saying that the word Christian wasn’t used until after the resurrection. Acts 11:26 And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch. Again, nice having you on the forum, CDBJ |

646 | Was Judas Iscariot a believer? | Matt 5:13 | CDBJ | 160313 | ||
Hi Kalos, There you go again, trying to confusing people with the facts; ho, ho! I guess the obvious is never obvious to some who are suffering from paradigm paralysis. Someone that can’t understand the exegetical implication of the word PISTEUO, believe, could never understand that they couldn’t be indwelt by the Holy Spirit and Satan at the same time once God has sealed His temple. 1 Cor. 3:16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? 2 Cor. 6:14 (B) and what communion hath light with darkness? The obvious; none! Couple that with Heb. 13:5 (B) and demon possession of the “believer” is impossibility, as you well know. Hebrews 13:5 (B) I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. I think a lot of people must confuse demon influence with demon possession. If the adversary can neutralize us by getting us out of fellowship with the Lord it puts a big smile on his measurable satanic face, or whatever it is Satan has. Once we are out of fellowship, if we don’t exercise I John 1:9, we are working in the energy of the flesh and all that we do counts for nothing. John 15:5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. All of the time that we log with the old sin nature in control of these bodies of ours, instead of the Holy Spirit, grieves or quenches the Spirit. Romans 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. God the Holy Spirit is always with us be we don’t always let him control us as it were, i.e. sin! In my estimation I think these verses clinch the issue. 2 Cor. 1:22 Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts. Ephes. 1:13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that Holy Spirit of promise, Ephes. 4:30 And grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. You hit the nail right on the head, no demon possession for the “true believer”, but a lot of demon influence; as if our old sin natures weren’t enough! CDBJ |

Well, that's more like it, now you are starting to sound like one of the team players! Only start calling out the plays with chapter and verse so others can understand and have something to place their faith in other then something that could be your idea. Something to remember, spoon feed, Scripture, Scripture, Scripture!!! Romans 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Have a "great" day, CDBJ |

In considering you post, could you please present the Scripture that backs up you statement? You presumed the following, “He did take into consideration our free will and I believe that is why Christ died for our sins, because God knew Satan would hold us for ransom.” I am being held by a stronger source then Satan! John 10:28-30 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. [29] My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand. [30] I and my Father are one. Satan is far worse off then those who have the opportunity to escape eternal condemnation by trusting in the finished work of Christ. Matthew 25:41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: It’s God that must be satisfied when it comes to the price for man’s eternal placement, not the looser Satan! God has already paid the price for man’s redemption and Satan is already judged. 2 Tim. 2:25-26 In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; [26] And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will. The truth is, Jesus, and what he has already done! People need to acknowledge this fact and turn from what they have been trusting in for eternal life to faith in God’s Son. John 16:7-11 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; [10] Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more; [11] Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged. It wasn’t Satan that held us for ransom, we were held by the cures of the law. Galatians 3:13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: It’s a done deal, I have read the end of the book and the saint’s team wins and we have something to sing about. Rev. 5:9 And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; 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. Have a nice day, CDBJ |

Greetings Aliennow, I don’t have any “religion” all I have is a relationship with God through Jesus! Speaking of Jesus John 1:11-12 He came unto his own, and his own received him not. [12] But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Acts 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. I wonder where religion could fit into the following truth? Ephes. 2:8-9 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: [9] Not of works, lest any man should boast. Have you come to the place yet, in your spiritual experience, where God has granted you eternal life? I.E. if you were to pass out of this life today would you be ushered into the presents of God with no questions asked? Now there’s an awesome thought for you, and the effectiveness of your religious efforts. What guarantees have you received in writing and how long does the guarantee last? A paronomasia for the day, CDBJ |

Hello Aliennow, This forum is anything but a religious forum. In religion man does the all the work and God “is supposed” to bless man on the bases of what he dose and give him the credit. This forum is about the Bible and the truth it tells us of God and all the work that God did through His Son Jesus Christ; It explains how God, gets all of the credit! We can’t take the credit for the work someone else has done, now can we? Most on the forum just praise God and thank Him for what he has done and try to show others the good news that the Bible teaches. I would say that the forum is not about religion, as you suggest, but about a relationship with God through His Son. 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. Romans 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. 2 Cor. 5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. No religion in those statements, just pure love and a necessary relationship. Have a nice day, CDBJ |

Hello JimmyHen, It seems you have been asking all the questions about antichrist and if certain prospects could fill the bill. Cutting to the chase; Whom, “in your opinion”, was the person of Jesus Christ; and please expatiate if possible? Matthew 16:13-15 When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am? [14] And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets. [15] He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am Recognizing or spotting counterfeit money at a glance is taught to those in our government: i.e. those who have control over our currency and, in essence, are on the inside track. The way it is done is by teaching them the genuine bills to the point that a phony stands out like a sore thumb; the same is true when it comes to antichrist. There are many antichrist and then there is the antichrist; the one that will make a covenant of death with Israel, i.e. the man of sin. Isaiah 28:15 Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves: Matthew 24:15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:) 2 Thes. 2:3-4 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; [4] Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. I would like your personal viewpoint with regards to just whom the person of Jesus Christ actually is? Do you think you can handle that question with the knowledge that you have acquired, or would you say that you are still in the early training stage? CDBJ |

Hello JimmyHen, I agree with the first part of your “lengthy” post, that we should “all” back up our post with Scripture. You stated in you post, “many things here my friend, you backed nothing up with scripture, for one,” Those are your exact words, yet in the entire lengthy of your post you made no mention of any particular biblical chapter of verse to support your positions, are we to assume then that you are above what you require of others? Or maybe you neglected to list the word “I Corinthians” before your 9:11 1 Cor. 9:11 If we have sown unto you spiritual things, is it a great thing if we shall reap your carnal things? It sounds like a prime case of the pot calling the kettle black, do you agree? 2 Tim. 3:16 (KJV) All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: Psalm 119:160 (NASB) The sum of Thy word is truth, And every one of Thy righteous ordinances is everlasting. 2 Tim. 2:15 (NIV) Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth. Have a nice day, CDBJ |

Hi AIT, I have a house full of relatives, here form Va. and I can’t spend too much time on the computer. That was a nice experience that you had at the grocery store with the elderly lady. Were you able to share the love of God with here and did she respond with any kind of a decision towards Christ? I will post to you later when I have more time. 1 Cor. 9:22 (B) I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some. Have a great day, CDBJ |

Hi AIT, I like your example of the grave stone. I told my wife that when I die, she doesn’t even have to bother putting me in the ground, just through me in the back yard, and I will raise enough stink that somebody will bury me. She didn’t think it was funny either! There is an interesting point on your post that I noticed. You mentioned the following and it sure seems like the thing we would all want God to say about us “"With her, I am well pleased." Why would God want to say that about you personally speaking? I have kind of had thoughts along those same lines. I wanted to be the best person I could be and trust God and have Him look favorably on me. Then one day someone showed me the following, in the Bible that I would like to share with you; boy, did this open my eyes! The one that showed me this said that this is how God looks at me, and everyone else. Romans 3:10 As it is written: "There is none righteous, no, not one; Romans 3:12 They have all turned aside; They have together become unprofitable; There is none who does good, no, not one." I told him well I believe in God and I’m doing the best I can do and he continued to show me these verses. Romans 3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, The question is then how can I be pleasing in God’s sight since I am imperfect? The answer is that I have to get God’s eyes of me and on to something perfect instead of me; i.e. something in my place. Now how do I do that? God says that He will place me in Jesus Christ His Son positionally, if I will completely trust in the work that God did for me on the cross in the person of His Son Jesus. In essence Jesus gets old filthy me and God ascribes to me His perfect righteousness: what a deal!! But I have to have confidence or total undivided faith in Gods Son Jesus, in order for all of this to happen! Paul even mentions this in Romans about his countrymen and I fit the same pattern, how they believe in God and even with zeal but their believing in God wasn’t God’s plan: Jesus is God’s only plan! Romans 10:1-4 Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is that they may be saved. [2] For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge. [3] For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted to the righteousness of God. [4] For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes. It’s kind of strange when we speak about believing in God and trusting in Him. God the Father wants us to use Jesus as the way to Him and eternal life. Acts 4:12 Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved." John 14:6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. When I started reading the Bible I was close and on the right track all right but it wasn’t until I finally come to the conclusion of the following that I knew God was right about the life hereafter. That if God were to ask me; Why should I let you come into My Kingdom, I would have say, while face down on my knees? Because of my precious Saviour Jesus, He paid my price and opened the way for me and I completely trust in what he did for me on the cross, that what he did was sufficient for me to get into heaven. I could say, Father if you weren’t satisfied with what Jesus did for me you wouldn’t have raised Him from the dead but you did and I trust in Him and believe what you promised me and I have Jesus as my own. 1 John 5:10-13 He who believes in the Son of God has the witness in himself; he who does not believe God has made Him a liar, because he has not believed the testimony that God has given of His Son. [11] And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. [12] He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. [13] These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God. And now AIT, you know the rest of my story, CDBJ |

Hi AIT, No problem with the delays, it seems like my whole life is one big delay! It's so nice to hear from you and I hope everything is going well. I remember my first few years as a born again believer just as though it were yesterday but in reality it’s been close to 40 years now. I think I knew more then, then I know now; just kidding. Have you come to the place yet, in your walk with the Lord, where you can say for certain that you have eternal life; is it a sure thing with you yet? Here is one for you: lets say you were to standing before God this very day, awesome idea, and He were to say to you, why should I let you come into my kingdom, what do you think you would say to Him; just hypothetically speaking? I don’t know if you have every had this thought before but I have. What do you think you would say in a situation like that; it will be interesting to hear your thoughts on this. Have a great day, CDBJ |

Greetings Kang, It sounds to me like your friend wants to sow his wild oats while he is young and then pray for as crop failure! If I would have followed a course of action like that I would have likely been dead and gone many years ago. Your friend is being dissuaded into thinking that the world is more fun then living a life with Christ; he couldn’t be further from the truth. Matthew 16:26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? As long as one isn’t under the protective care that God can provide he is considered God’s enemy. Mark 8:37 Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? It isn’t a very wise man that would choose to be God’s enemy rather then one of God’s adopted sons. People strive to get things in this world rather then seeking the Lord first and the best that He has for a person in His Son. Luke 12:15-20 And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth. [16] And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully: [17] And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits? [18] And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods. [19] And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry. [20] But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided? The world looks very exciting to a young person but the way of the world is actually a satanic trap. 1 John 2:15-17 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. [16] For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. [17] And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever. Have your friend read the New Testament and tell him to pray and ask God to speak to him through the Bible. Start him off in the book of Matthew and tell him to concentrate on what God wants to show him. 1 Peter 5:6-11 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: [7] Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. [8] Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: [9] Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. [10] But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you. [11] To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. Your young friend should turn to God for help while God is offering there may come a time when he will be consumed by the trap of the world and it will be hard for him to find God. Ephes. 4:17-23 This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind, [18] Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart: [19] Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness. [20] But ye have not so learned Christ; [21] If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus: [22] That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; [23] And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; Genesis 6:3 (A) And the Lord said, My spirit shall not always strive with man I trusted in the Lord Jesus and became a child of God in Oct of 1965 and I wouldn’t want to have lived one minute of my live with out His love and protection and the promise that he has given me in Jesus, everlasting life. Everyone that is outside of God’s family is an enemy of the cross of Christ and is walking on very thin ice, as it were, and over very deep water, far from shore! Does your friend want an abundant life; that’s why Jesus came. John 10:10 (B) I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. That’s talking about a full and meaningful live. Have a great day, CDBJ |
