Hi Seedling, Your post suggest, that we as backsliders are to repent and ask God for forgiveness. Why, if we want forgiveness should we ask for it, form God. Because God tells us that we will be forgiven not by asking for it, but by confessing the problem to Him by confessing the problem to him. 1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

702 | Putting the Lord to the test. | Mark 16:18 | CDBJ | 152529 | ||
Hi Mally, and welcome to the forum. Here is something from the “Bible Knowledge Commentary” that might help answer your post. (BKC) In the Greek the first two clauses in Mark 16:18 may be understood as conditional clauses with the third clause as the conclusion. An interpretive rendering would be, “And if they be compelled to pick up snakes with their hands and if they should be compelled to drink deadly poison, it shall by no means,(the original language) (ME) means an emphatic negative; cf. 13:2) harm them.” This promise of immunity by divine protection in either situation refers to occasions when persecutors would force believers to do these things. This does not warrant voluntary snake-handling or drinking of poison, practices not attested in the early church. Since Paul’s encounter with a snake at Malta was unintentional (cf. Acts 28:3-5), the New Testament records no actual instance of either of the experiences described here. Have a great day, CDBJ |

Hello candy lee, Is your knowledge of eternal security as sound as your knowledge that Paul is doing the speaking in Hebrews? You suggested. “See Heb 10:26-29,30,38,38. Paul is speaking to Jews who are now following Christ.” I guess what I would like to know first is; how do know that Paul penned the book of Hebrews, or is that also an erroneous assuming along with eternal non security, if there could ever be such a thing?

Hi candy lee, Jesus informs us of the following, Luke 13:3 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. It sounds to me like we better all repent or we are doomed. That being the case, according to what you are saying, how can the Bible say the following and still be consistent, in your way of thinking? Acts 16:31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. What, in your estimation, is repentance seeing that it has to be inclusive with the previous verse in order for the verse to be true? Have a great day, CDBJ |

I agree with what you are saying! I was just trying to pointing out that a person consist of the things that they consume; just like the saying, “We are what we eat”. If a person feeds their soul that kind of garbage, it’s going to be garbage in, garbage out! There is too much of that tripe out there and innocent kids, as well as adults, are being ensnared at every turn; we sure don’t need anything on the forum that even closely resembles it in any way shape or form!! No matter what color an alligator is painted, it’s still an alligator and it's dangerous. Have a nice day, CDBJ |

Very sound advice, and I like your wet paint example; here are some other verses that fits the situation. Matthew 6:22-23 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. [23] But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness! Have a great day, CDBJ |

707 | why did people live long | Gen 6:3 | CDBJ | 149142 | ||
Hello BibleVerse, You suggested that death for Adam and Eve was a slow process, “Adam and Eve deteriorated, grew old, and eventually died.” How long a process is suggested in the following verse? Genesis 2:17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. That sounds pretty sudden to me when it says, in the day? The word “die” in the English is translated from the Hebrew word MUWTH, pronounced mooth; it is causative and as a result it says in effect, dying you shall surely die. Adam died spiritually the moment he disobeyed God, that day, and as a result of this separation from God he would someday face the separation of his soul from his body, physical death. The spirit of man, or the part that has fellowship with God, is inoperative from the time of physical birth. All men need to have a living spirit to understand the things of God. 1 Cor. 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. The natural man is one born from the seed of Adam and is therefore in need of another birth, that of his spirit. John 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Someone quipped the following. Man has a choice, he can be born once and die twice, or be born twice and die once. The good news is that we can all have this new birth by trusting in the finished work of God’s Son, Jesus. John 20:30-31 And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book: [31] But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name. 1 Peter 1:23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. 1 John 5:10-13 He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. [11] And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. [12] He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. [13] These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.

Hi EdB, Did the Jewish Scribes, who were so particular about forwarding God’s Word, in every minute detail, consider the Apocrypha as Scripture or just as religious writings at that time? 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: I guess what I mean to say is, do you consider the Apocrypha to be (theopneustos), or God breathed as all Scripture is!

God’s plan of salvation is exactly the same in the Old Testament as it is in the New Testament. Those in the Old Testament looked forward to the coming of God’s Christ and we look back and there is no difference. Abraham is a good example, John 8:56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad. I think the promise given to Abraham was before he was baptized. Romans 4:16 Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all, Maybe Paul forgot about Abraham being baptized or maybe he wasn’t or it just wasn’t mentioned? Ephes. 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: The only baptism that is absolutely a must is dry and it happens at the moment or point in time when one places “all” of their hope for eternal life in the person of Jesus Christ. The baptism of the Spirit in the one baptism that unifies all believers in Christ and it doesn’t have a thing to do with water! Ephes. 4:3-5 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. 4There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; 5One Lord, one faith, one baptism, Everyone will be baptized by the Lord with a dry baptism. Faith in Christ bringing the baptism of the Holy Ghost, which seals believers, 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, Have a nice day CDBJ |

The thief on the cross, next to Jesus, destroys your concept. God is no respecter of persons and Jesus said the following. Luke 23:43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise. Your reference to baptism, Acts 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Yes, you are absolutely right that is what Scripture says, but it also says the following. Mark 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. The second half of this verse, “but he that believeth not shall be damned”; makes the word baptized parenthetical since it isn’t mentioned in the second half of the verse. The follows example and the numerous verses put all the emphasis on grace by faith; one, being the most popular, John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Theoretically, the way I see it, the one who “is trusting” in something that they have done, i.e. their water baptism, apart from grace through faith alone in Christ alone, isn’t really saved in the first place. Secondly, if a person isn’t really saved, I could never convince them because that’s the work of the Holy Spirit. 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. 8And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: 9Of sin, because they believe not on me; This topic has been hashed around so long on the forum, really all one needs to do it type baptism in the search window and there will be hours of study presented by people that know a lot more then I do!

If one were to think that baptism was necessary for salvation, then in order to make sure, they should “work” all the angles and do it all kinds of ways and probably even every other Month just incase it didn’t really take; but then again that’s not the gospel message is it! 1 Cor. 1:17 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect. You made the statement, “If this is the case, and Jesus was not too good to go into the water, then why can't we?” I think you might be stepping out on a limb to say in effect, “if Jesus was not to good”. He is without a doubt the best, and He was expressing obedience to the Father’s will. Matthew 3:17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Jesus was baptized because it was the Father’s will; it was John that had a problem with baptizing Jesus. Hebrews 10:7 Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God. The next thing to be an issue in baptism will likely be the use of fresh or salt water; the methods are endless and the verses in Acts pretty well some it all up in my estimation. Acts 8:37 And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. I find it interesting that Philip didn’t say you “must”. A person could be baptized, as it were, until they get hypothermia, and it wouldn’t mean a thing if they haven’t totally trusted in Jesus Christ for their salvation first; it’s like the old adage of putting the cart before the horse. Just to ease your mind I do believe in emersion, but I believe it must come after one has willfully trusted in Jesus, God’s Son, for their personal salvation. I believe that baptism is only an outward expression of ones obedience, apart from salvation, the same way it was a visual expression of Christ obedience to the Father. I see it as a visual expression of association with the trinity of God and obedience to God’s desire for me as one of His children after relying on the finished work of Christ. Have a nice day, CDBJ |

Greetings kreature, and welcome to the forum. It is my understanding that the first use of the word baptize, which is a transliteration, from the word “BAPTIZO”, was coined by the Greek writer Homer in one of his epics. The original use of the word was used when a sward was plunged into blood and Homeric history brings out the emphasis of showing association between the blood and the sward. My two cents worth, CDBJ |

Hi Searcher, Thanks for your concern as to the person I choose as a pastor teacher. I assume that’s what you meant, “Choose who you follow.” Ephes. 4:11-12 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 12For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: I thought at the time that sitting under the teachings of someone that has been teaching the original languages since 1950 might know a little something more then I did, so I listened. I don’t believe everything I hear or read but when I hear something I store it away for future use and I have found out that the older I get the more it pays off. Psalm 119:160 The sum of thy word is truth; And every one of thy righteous ordinances endureth for ever. Have a nice day, CDBJ |

Emmaus, I want to apologize for being out of line with my last post to you! There was no excuse for my say what I did or the way I said it, I was out of line. Speaking of old sin natures, it looks like mine is still alive and working. Again I apologize, CDBJ |

Greetings Emmaus, Your insight, biblically speaking, from your point of view suggests the following in opposition to what I have commented on. You stated, “The concept of the independent infant, thereby making it a real human being, is absurd.” I intern think that your idea of baptismal regeneration, is absurd, truth be known but that’s your decision. I believe that regeneration come about as a result of grace through faith and that not of our selves it’s a gift from God, and one isn’t regenerated until faith in Jesus is expressed. Which one of us stands to suffer the greatest consequence if he is wrong; you with the work of baptism in opposition to faith, or me for being wrong on how I got my old sin nature? Have a great day, CDBJ |

Greeting MJH, It would be nice if you would fill out a personal profile, which most of the regular participating members have done; it’s no big deal, just a little something about yourself. You can left click on the name of any author of a post, on the home page, and find out when they joined, how many times they have posted etc, and something about them. If you need help with it let me know. I hope you fine the forum and fellowship helpful, CDBJ |

Hello MJH, I think you got the wrong impression some how, you posted the following. “I was having a somewhat difficult time getting folks on this forum to understand what I was saying. Most had never heard of the two natures (old man, new man) and thus could not quite grasp what this was all about,” The topic of the two natures has been discussed on this forum so much that most don’t want to rehash it again. Type in, (old sin nature) or (new nature), in the search box and click search: you can spend hours reading what the folks on this form understand about the two natures. This is “supposed to be” the format before even asking a question but it’s not adhered to all that much, as you will find out. CDBJ |

Greetings, I guess there are some of us that don't read everything that is said on a post, all of the sudden, bang, and the switch goes off! I don't know how to say it any easer! According to what I said, "If anyone asks me to prove it, I can’t, just take it or leave it! There is a web site, maybe you can write to Pastor Thieme and tell him why you can’t go along with him, after you read the book he wrote on the subject. http://www.berachah.org/ You a trying to prove you point with the wrong person. I didn’t graduate from Dallas Theological Seminary as Summa Cum Laude, Pastor Thieme did! Don’t let it spoil your day, have a nice day in spite of me and forget my post, It’s OK you don’t have to prove anything!!! CDBJ |
