722 | Did the Holy Spirit inspire Scripture | NT general Archive 1 | CDBJ | 144836 | ||
Hi, I read your personal profile and you sure have your hands full. I hope you don’t get bogged down by trying to do the work that the Holy Spirit of God is doing. I use to beat myself up with trying to convince people of the Gospel until the truth of the following finally sank in; and I mean there were many tearful hours. 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; We never have to defend the Word of God, even to an atheist, it’s a weapon. Weapons are not defended; they are used against the enemy. I also use to be quite perplexed about the same side issues that you mentioned, “Different interpretations on the same scripture (such as pre-trib, post trib, rapture, so on), albeit, they may be side issues.” I read a book that cleared it all up for me and you might want to check it out? It’s not for someone that doesn’t like to read though because it has over 500 pages! The Sign by Robert Van Kampen ISBN 0-89107-756-1 CDBJ |

723 | One born of God cannot sin? | 1 John 3:9 | CDBJ | 144759 | ||
Greetings MJH, It was explained to me, by someone a lot smarter then I am that Adam passed on the old sin nature through procreation of the body. The 23 chromosomes of the males contribution, at conception, infects the cells structure, thus passing on the OSN, or old sin nature. We all contain 46 chromosomes but only 23 are used from each of the parents. The female, through meioses and polar body throws of her 23 contaminated chromosomes leaving 23 without the OSN. The male inseminates the female with his 23 chromosomes containing the OSN and the fetus starts with an OSN. Psalm 51:5 Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me. This would also prove out how Jesus was born “without” an old sin nature because Mary was a virgin and conception was by the Holy Spirit. Man procreates and biological life starts in the womb; at the instance of physical life, when the child becomes independent of the mother, the instant it breaths on its own, God imparts soul life or, neshamah, in the Hebrew, and the fetus becomes a baby with a living soul. I know I’ll catch a lot of flack for this and all I can tell you is that‘s what I was taught years ago by my pastor R. B. Thieme Jr. He and a Dr. Jamieson came up with it and it all works out with Scripture and I believe it. If anyone asks me to prove it, I can’t, just take it or leave it.

724 | Is GOD calling me to be full time worker | Eph 3:1 | CDBJ | 144752 | ||
Hello 9-1-1, Well it sounds like you have arrived and there isn't anything this old believer can add to the knowledge you have already acquired. I’ve known the Lord for near forty years now and I have found out that one grow older physically faster then they do spiritually, no matter how much one studies! 1 Cor. 10:12 Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall. The most surprised individual, after a horrendous fall, be me says I. I don’t even know when the slip came until I lay flat on my back how could I do that????????? 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. Have a great day, CDBJ |

725 | Who is the son of man which is in heaven | John 3:11 | CDBJ | 144707 | ||
Hello Ray, Are you suggesting that Jesus, since His resurrection, does not have flesh with his glorified body? In your post you stated, “So there is no difference between the second Man and the last Adam.” The difference is, the KJV Bible I’m reading doesn’t say, second Adam; it says last Adam and there isn’t going to be any more, as a third a fourth or a fifth, Christ is the last. Is that right or wrong, or am I mistaken? CDBJ |

Hi 9-1-1, Are you telling us that you no longer have an old sin nature now that you are saved? I assume that you are still in your body since you were able to post your message? CDBJ |

727 | Who is the son of man which is in heaven | John 3:11 | CDBJ | 144679 | ||
Ah, I am glad you said “last Adam”, and of this verse I am well aware. Jesus “isn’t” referred to as the second Adam but the Last, and I concur; there is a difference! He is called the second man, but the last Adam. 1 Cor. 15:45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. I was just pulling Ray’s chain a little bit since he was being so exact with what another member said on a post; I’m sure he will get my drift because he is pretty much on top of things and he knows his Bible. Thanks for the response, CDBJ |

728 | Bible reading for a new Christian | Ps 37:31 | CDBJ | 144678 | ||
Greetings Miyol, I have been a believer since 1965 and I still love the Lord and His fantastic Word, The Bible! I think the best advice that I could give a new believer would be to keep short accounts with the Lord by using 1 John 1:9 when ever you mess up. 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. Couple that with a prayer every time that you open the Bible, that God will give you wisdom and understanding with regards to Scripture. Follow the command given in the book of 2nd Peter and study, study, study. 2 Peter 3:15-18 And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you; 16As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction. 17Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness. 18But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen. Have a great day, CDBJ |

Hi 9-1-1, Sincerity, as with speaking from the heart would appear to be a great quality by the fact is it doesn’t hold any authority, as does, thus saith the Lord. You say you are speaking from the heart! Being a new believer have you ever noticed what God's Word has to say about the “heart”? Jeremiah 17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? Well let say you actually ment sincerity; that lead us to a sad story. There was a mother that had a sick child and she wanted her little darling to get well and she was very sincere, feeling the way she did. She managed to give her child a pill that she sincerely though would make the child well. The pill had no markings on it and as it turned out the pill was for killing roaches and the child died! The mother was sincere when she gave the child the pill and had all good intentions but it turned out she was sincerely wrong. Stick with what God actually says and back up what you say with Scripture and you will save yourself a lot of grief in the long run. 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. Have a great day, CDBJ P.S. Could you put a little story of yourself in your personal profile; maybe how you came to a saving knowledge of Christ or something? You can check each author of any post by left clicking their name on their post. Example You can click the letters on my post (CDBJ) and see a little about me. I hope you enjoy the forum! |

Greeting 9-1-1, Your message is good, "Without strong faith, I tell you Satan is swift and he will come on strong, but with faith and love he doesn't have a chance!" Don't you think it would be wise to add a little to it, with biblical support? Ephes. 6:13-18 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 17And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: 18Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; Have a great day, CDBJ |

732 | Has anyone read BeDuhn's new book? | Phil 2:6 | CDBJ | 144547 | ||
I am sorry if my simple question prompted you to completely change the topic of my question; maybe you didn’t fully understand it so I will shorten it up a little. In your own “PERSONAL OPINION”, from what “YOU” believe, and I don’t care what translation you use, who was the person of Jesus Christ? I really didn’t mean to stump you so you could tell me what someone else said or thinks, or even that we have to agree on your answer, I just want to know what you think apart from or including all translations. You are entitled to your own personal opinion and that’s all I am asking, what’s the big deal? CDBJ |

733 | One born of God cannot sin? | 1 John 3:9 | CDBJ | 144408 | ||
Greetings M.J. Head, I would concur with you with the exception of the old and new soul. I believe that what we receive at the point of salvation is a living operative spirit which Adam managed to kill when he disobeyed God and passed the trait on to all those of his making. 1 Cor. 15:22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. We, with the exception of Christ, were all in Adam genetically speaking and thus the male passes down the old sin nature at conception to offspring which is born physically alive, body and soul, but the spirit is dead. Hence the need for rebirth as Jesus stated, 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. The word “see” comes to us from the word EIDO; by implication to know, be aware, behold. The spirit being that part of man that communicates with God. The part of us that houses the old sin nature, as I see it, is the flesh, or what Paul refers to in the Koine Greek as the SARX. I.E. death of flesh, good by old sin nature. The soul is eternal, the real you, as it were and will live on forever. Have a great day, CDBJ |

Greetings M J Head, That was and interesting post and welcome to the forum. Are you saying, in essence, that the PSUCHIKOS, or soulish man is not a part of the real you and thus not a factor in a three part being after regeneration or that it is only the body that sins and the soul isn’t at fault? Ezekiel 18:20 (A) The soul that sinneth, it shall die. 1 Cor. 5:5 To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. 1 Thes. 5:23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. If I hit myself on the thumb with a hammer is it not “I” that suffers, be that as it may? Have a great day, CDBJ |

Hi fellow worker, I would like to ask you a question, seeing you are so well informed with regards to Scripture, and this has nothing to do with any particular translation or who put it together. In your own personal opinion, from what you understand, who was the person of Jesus Christ? CDBJ |

736 | 2 questions | Bible general Archive 2 | CDBJ | 144253 | ||
Greetings Leslie N, I am very sorry if I have insulted you in any way, that certainly wasn’t my intent, to say the least! There are many that use the forum that haven’t come to the place of a personal relationship with the living Lord. They exhibit many of the characteristics of a born again believer yet have never experienced the new berth, as it were. Many in this great country of ours, if they were ask if they are a Christian would say yes, just because they aren’t heathens, of which I was a part. When I finally came to the place of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ as my Savior there was a total transformation in my life and this was after spending 27 years of my life at what I “assumed” to be a Christian. I had a real experience when the Lord revealed the truth of the Gospel to me in 1965 while reading the New Testament of the Bible. It’s not that it is any of my business what someone believes, it’s just that there are a lot of lost people out there that are going under the assumption that they are going to heaven due to something they have done and I don’t want them to fine out when it is to late. Titus 3:5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; There once was a man that thought he was going to heaven because he put a roof on his church for free! 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. If you think I have been playing the part of a fool in asking the questions that I did I am sorry for the way I came across but I have a very large burden for the lost and I guess I am a fool for Christ sake. There has been commercial on TV these last few week that emphasis impossible task; the one with the impossible task lifts up a cover and there, sitting in front of everyone, is a big red button with the words EASY written on it; the easy button. It make it a lot easer if all one has to do is hit the EASY button. It just so happens that I found the EASY button to eternal life and I want others to fine it and see that the EASY button to eternal life is in God’s Son, Jesus Christ. If I ask the standard questions, that everyone has heard for centuries, they usually will just parrot something biblical that they have learned with out ever having actually experienced a living relationship with the Lord. Again, I am sorry if I have offended you in any way; I would rather loose in any discussion with a person then to see them lost in eternity! I am a nothing and a no body, Jesus is everything, 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. CDBJ |

Greetings again, I truly believe that Paul said and experienced all these things but what have you personally experienced and could you possibly answer the crux of my last post if you understand what I was asking? I’ll ask again, in a shorter version. Can you say for sure that you have eternal life in heaven, when you leave this life, knowing with out a shadow doubt, that you have you reached that place where God will welcome you in? That isn’t a hard a question is it, it seems rather basic to most! Let’s see if I can word it another way, If God, were to supposedly ask you ‘‘if you, thought you have fulfilled His Holy standard for heavenly entrance’’ what would you say? That seems like a reasonable thing to know, one way or the other. It seems like there is a chase going on around the preverbal bush of hesitation; and I don’t know why! CDBJ |

738 | some people say you must speak in tongue | 1 Cor 12:4 | CDBJ | 144035 | ||
Hi Hank, Isn’t it interesting that their message, in tongues, consisted of the Gospel message of Christ Jesus! Acts 2:11 (B) we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God. Acts 2:21-24 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. 22Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know: 23Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain: 24Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it. The only Spiritual thing that a person with a dead spirit can understand is the Gospel message of Christ through the convicting 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 couple with the following, 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. This all adds up to the following bit of truth as you obviously know! 1 Cor. 14:22 Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not: but prophesying serveth not for them that believe not, but for them which believe. 1 Cor. 14:38 But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant. Have a great day, CDBJ |

Greetings Leslie N, What is it exactly that you believed would happen when you forsook everything according to Luke 14:33 and what makes you different? It looks like you must have made some additional purchases after the forsaking, since you are posting on the Web on this forum with some sort of material goods? I guess the big question is have you come to the place yet in your spiritual venture where you can say for sure that you have eternal life in heaven, with out a shadow doubt and if so is it because you forsook everything? Curious, CDBJ |

Hi NewCovenant7777, Thanks for the personal profile but with out appearing to be too dumb could you explain to me what you ment, in your profile, by planting home churches? I realized what was going on when there were no actual church buildings as mentioned in Romans and I Corinthians. Example Romans 16:5 Likewise greet the church that is in their house. Salute my wellbeloved Epaenetus, who is the firstfruits of Achaia unto Christ. 1 Cor. 16:19 The churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla salute you much in the Lord, with the church that is in their house. What actually is it that you are striving to accomplish; is it some kind of a new movement or denomination or is there an affiliate group? What is the advantage in doing this, planting home churches, with so many different denominations out there to choose from that already exist?? How is the theme in church planting any different then what we fine exhibited in other denominations; what is the main thrust, as it were? I’m interested and confused, CDBJ |
