741 | Can the Bible and Jesus be Idols? | NT general Archive 1 | CDBJ | 143514 | ||
Hello NewCovenant7777, It seems like you are getting the formula for posting on the forum down pat. Say, you wouldn’t happen to be an NFL backfield runner would you; your answer to my simple question is some of the greatest side stepping and broken field movements I think I have ever observed! Sometimes telling a person what something is not, can run the gamut from peanuts to planets but the recipients of your replication usually get left somewhere in between. Since the inspired Word of God doesn’t even use the English word “repentance” wouldn’t it be easer and advantageous to see what the Koine Greek word, “metanoia” has to say? Another little hint that I would like to pass on, if you don’t mind, is not to just use a chapter and verse, in your post, but write it all out! Acts 11:18 (KJV) When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then hath God also to the Gentiles granted repentance unto life. Most of those that read your post won’t bother to look up and read the address of the Scripture quoted unless you spell it all out! I sure hope you take all this in the manner in which it is sent, as brother in Christ. Could you take a little time and fill out your personal profile so that the forum clan has some idea of where you are coming from, it sure would be appreciated? Juts click on the name of the author of any post and it will come up. Have a great day, CDBJ |

743 | jcsav, Why isn't believing being saved? | Acts 16:31 | CDBJ | 142892 | ||
The only personal agent that is necessary is the one found in 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; It’s God’s Word along with the working of the Holy Spirit! John 20:30-31 And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book: 31But 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. God doesn’t need anyone’s help to accomplish His plan! He is fully capable of doing everything He desires with out mankind helping Him out! Check out the following, Luke 3:8 (B) That God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham. Matthew 19:26 But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible James 1:21 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls. 1 Tim. 2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; If what you are saying is true then Adam couldn’t be saved!

744 | jcsav, Why isn't believing being saved? | Acts 16:31 | CDBJ | 142752 | ||
Hello jcsav, Are you trying to tell us that God can't save someone without someone preaching to the individual? Does that mean that since I believed in Jesus, by reading the Bible on my own, with only the Holy Spirit revealing truth to me that I’m not actually saved? John 20:30-31 And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book: 31But 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. Matthew 16:16-17 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. 17And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. Have a nice day, CDBJ |

746 | Spurgeon on Regeneration | Titus 3:5 | CDBJ | 142234 | ||
Hi Doc, While reading your post I remembered the story about the atheist who set out to compose a book about the resurrection of Christ that it was a hoax. After gathering all of his evidence he became a believer in Jesus and they book ended up showing that the resurrection actually occurred, just like the Bible says it did, and that Jesus is alive from the dead by legal judicial evidence. I thought that was interesting, now if I could just remember the guys name we could probably look it up on the internet! I would like to read the story if anyone can give me a little help with the name; there’s bound to be someone on the forum that can recall the incident! Help, CDBJ |

748 | Salvation is a gift to be accepted | Luke 6:46 | CDBJ | 141191 | ||
Hi Mark, I understand what you are saying and it has to do with the believer’s new nature, which is born of God. It’s not the new nature that is committing the sin, its old nature that resides in the body, where the new nature is trapped until such time as physical death or the rapture, when "new nature" is delivered. The majority of believers have trouble with this verse, 1 John 3:9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. We have the tendency to think as a whole person, including these messed up bodies, that we now have, where the old sin nature STILL resides. Paul found this out and was having the same problem. Many don't take into consideration the war that Paul was having in his body. Example: Like, why am I doing this sin if I love the Lord; how can I be saved and actually do this; I'm wretched?? Romans 7:24-25 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? [25] I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin. Paul had this struggle and he tells us about it in Romans chapter seven. (Please read on your own) One can, in order to glean a better understanding of what Paul is saying, add the words “old sin nature”, where Paul speaks of the flesh, or the old man, or the body of sin or death! Its like a tug of war that goes on in the believer and the object is who is in control. See my post #110813 for a clearer emphasis. Often believers will assume they are saved one minute then evidently lost the next because they committed some stupid sin. BAD SITUATION!!! Paul had the same problems and gives us the answer. O wretched man that I am! “who” shall deliver me from the “body of this death”, “the old sin nature”, I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. Here again all of our hope, as believers, must be in Jesus and what He has done for us. He died for sins we haven't even comitted yet, but He knew we would so he took care of that also! Praise the Lord what a Savior, have a great day trusting in Him, CDBJ |

749 | What is your favorite Bible version? Why | 1 Cor 3:22 | CDBJ | 141041 | ||
Greetings Kalos, One has to watch when reading anything in the Living translations; they interject their thoughts instead of what the Koine Greek actually said. Example Luke 21:22 (King James Version) For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled. Luke 21:22 (New Living Translation) For those will be days of God's vengeance, and the prophetic words of the Scriptures will be fulfilled. Notice the error in translation! The word for God, THEOS, in the Koine Greek, isn’t even found in this verse and it is “likely” speaking about the vengeance of Satan, which is rampant in the last days before the rapture. Therefore the Living Trans. is the exact antithesis to what was being conveyed in the original language. Compare the following with Luke 21:22 Rev. 12:12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time. CDBJ |

751 | Satan is not here on earth did you know? | Eph 2:2 | CDBJ | 140841 | ||
Are you suggesting that since Satan was cast down that it means he can't return? Has his access to heaven been denied? He was cast down before the claims of Job 1:6-7 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan came also among them. [7] And the Lord said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the Lord, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it. Satan has been back to heaven since he was cast away. His trial must have been before there were people on this earth yet look where he shows up and who he is accusing. Rev. 12:12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time. This tells me that Satan has just been given notice that his time left to raise havoc is likely his last 3 ½ years, so he is on his way back to Earth and is going to kick his vengeance into passing gear! Matthew 24:21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. CDBJ |

752 | Satan is not here on earth did you know? | Eph 2:2 | CDBJ | 140792 | ||
Hi Doc, That’s a good response, and here is one that goes with it! 1 John 4:4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. This tells me that the adversary can walk around this Earth until he is blue in the face but we, as believers in Jesus Christ, are under God’s protection! Satan can’t beat us in this walkathon, he is already beaten and the Lord did it for us! Romans 8:37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. CDBJ |

753 | Satan is not here on earth did you know? | Eph 2:2 | CDBJ | 140789 | ||
Hi Janae, That’s very interesting; the verses that you have chosen to prove your point, has disproved you point. You stated, “My Bible tells me that Satan's domain is on the earth:” Then you use the following verse the disproves it; Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out." (John 12:31) What are you trying to say that cast out means?? Then the next verse doesn’t prove anything either way with regards to the subject. The subject was; which I didn’t start; “Satan is not here on the earth did you know” You suggested, "Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me." (John 14:30) Then you finished with the following, "Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: (Ephesians 2:2) So the thesis of your post is what; are you saying that you don’t believe that Satan still has access to the Earth or that he is restricted to the Earth and that the verse in Rev. 12:10 isn’t so or pertaining to the age that we live in? Rev. 12:10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. I am confused as to what position you are trying to convey?? CDBJ |

754 | Satan is not here on earth did you know? | Eph 2:2 | CDBJ | 140751 | ||
There are many that would try to convince believers that Satan stays in heaven putting blame on believers and much of this is drawn from the following, Rev. 12:10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. What they don’t stop to realize is the Satan is not ubiquitous, as is God. Satan has to be here at least part of the time unless he gets his information from the chain of command, that he has established, which is a possibility, but there isn’t conclusive evidence to prove it either way. Ephes. 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Again this verse speaks of the accuser being cast down. Rev. 12:10-12 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. [11] And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. [12] Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time. This doesn’t say that Satan has never changed his location or that it is a permanent situation or that it ever was, or that he can’t come back. It is my firm opinion that Satan or the devil or what ever name he goes by, is in a time awaiting the execution of God’s verdict. 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: Once Satan is in the Lake of fire his traveling days will be over!!! Job 1:6-7 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan came also among them. [7] And the Lord said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the Lord, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it. CDBJ |

755 | What is considered an Idol | Bible general Archive 2 | CDBJ | 140748 | ||

756 | Thomas Watson on Hypocrisy | Ps 119:80 | CDBJ | 140523 | ||
Greetings Doc, The word hypocrites, as I have been lead to understand it, came to us from a theatrical word, spoken by the Athenian Greeks and later carried over to the Koine Greek. The word originated as a result of the actors speaking on stage at such a distance that the mood of the actor couldn’t be distinguished from a long distance; so, in order to express the mood the actor would wear a wax mask to convey the mood of the moment; one of smiling, happy, or frowning, the sad face; and thus the word, hupokrites, or speaking from behind the wax mask. The two expressions of mood are still used today as the symbol of the theater. This was also something that I picked up from Pastor Bob Thieme. Have a great day, CDBJ |

757 | WHERE are they taken? | Luke 17:36 | CDBJ | 140494 | ||
Greetings Jeff W, and Merry Christmas; I think I have read almost every book out there, that focuses on the subject of eschatology, that being my favorite biblical subject, and it seems that every time I finished a book on the subject I have more questions then when I started. This was true until I came across a book, “accidentally”, in a local book store. I realized that, all of those that carry different views or concepts, with regards to the rapture, all use Scripture to back up their ideas, but as believers in Christ and God’s Word, we know that Scripture doesn’t and can't contradict it’s self; as a result everything that God tells us in His Word is sound and we just have to come up with the understanding where everything that God says will fit just like a puzzle. The secret is to find the common denominator, as it were. The book that I came across, consist of over 500 pages and is a definite study aid with reference to eschatology, everything is backed up with numerous Scripture and it eliminates the problem of “assumed” contradictions. It is not for the person that can’t commit to an ardent system of good study habits and one who has the ability to relinquish past paradigm paralysis in favor of what all the Scripture teaches on the subject of future events. i.e. keep an open mind and let God’s Word do the teaching! Psalm 119:160 The sum of thy word is truth; And every one of thy righteous ordinances endureth for ever. One doesn’t have the actual truth of God’s Word , The Bible, until all the Scripture on any given subject or Doctrine is added together; then will the actual truth be known! If you are interested, and like to study, I will more then willing to send you a free copy of the book, but you have to get in touch with me by e-mail. All I ask is that you pass on what the Lord teaches you from Scripture as a result of reading it! To The Lord be the Glory, great thing He Has done! I was so excited with the information, that I found in this book, that I bought numerous copies so I could share it with others. The author of this book, a great believer in Jesus, died shortly after the book was completed, as though his mission here for the Lord was completed. My e-mail address is listed at the end of my user profile toward the bottom. Again have a great Christmas in Christ, CDBJ |

758 | how many years did it take | Gen 6:14 | CDBJ | 140375 | ||
Hi Brad, With regards to your comment, in part, “There were eight in all; but I am afraid that some of these rather believed in father Noah than in the living God.” I had one of my daughter come to me one day, she was in her thirties, and asks me, “Dad, what do we believe”. I told her that I didn’t have a clue what she believed but I know what I believe and God doesn’t have any grandchildren. That really started her thinking, to say the least, and now she is on the right track and has a personal relationship with the Lord! Matthew 7:22-23 Many 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? [23] And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. It’s not what we know that matters, but Who we know that counts! Brad, I hope you have a great Christmas, and isn’t it fantastic having a personal living relationship with Jesus! First hand experience can’t be beat; 1 John 5:10 (A) He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: CDBJ |

760 | how many years did it take | Gen 6:14 | CDBJ | 140246 | ||
Hi Brad, That being the case, you stated, “I've taken it that Noah preached for 120 years based on Gen. 6:3”. Why would Noah put off starting the ark if he had faith and believed in what God had told him? I think he would have acted on what he believed and started on the ark ASAP. Faith with out works is dead! Ha Noah, why are you building the big boat;-----------------------------, rain, what is rain and why? “Noah, you have to be half nuts to believe that”. 1 Peter 3:20 Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water. What destroyed them, the unbelievers by water, lifted Noah, since he was in the ark of safety. It’s just like it will be when Christ returns, His coming will save the believers and destroy those that are left on the earth and the believers, likewise, will be in the ark of safety, Christ. 2 Thes. 1:10 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. Genesis 7:12-13 And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights. [13] In the selfsame day entered Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah's wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, into the ark; Have a great day, CDBJ |
