821 | Human Power? | John 15:5 | CDBJ | 128674 | ||
Greetings Country Girl, There is a portion of your post that I have a hard time understanding. You made the following statement, speaking of God, in part. “Sure He desperately wants” I have a hard time trying to fathom how God could be desperate for anything, it goes against his attributes. Could you please explain this, using the Bible as your reference? Have a great day, CDBJ |

Is that "your" idea of a loving response; if so, I dare not respond to any of your future post for fear of your loving reprisals! 1 Cor. 13:4 Love suffereth long, and is kind; love envieth not; love vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, Have a great day, CDBJ |

Greetings, I am in agreement with you as to being born again and regeneration, that they are synonymous terms. The word in Titus 3:5 translated regeneration, come to us from the Koine Greek word, PALIGGENESIA, which is a compound word; from Greek 3825 (palin) and Greek 1078 (genesis); (spiritual) rebirth (the state or the act), i.e. (figurative) spiritual renovation; specially Messianic restoration regeneration. (Strong’s) For us to understand anything spiritually before we are, “born again”, would be like talking to a dead person in a casket and telling them to get up and help them selves; they can’t hear or do anything for themselves because they are dead and can’t hear! We, being of Adam’s seed are dead in spirit. I believe that God the Holy Spirit intercedes for our inoperative spirit “with the message of the gospel of Jesus.” He makes the “good news” real to us so that we can respond, in our soul, by grace through faith, or we can reject His message of Christ and refuse the working of God’s Spirit, which I think is the unpardonable sin. Matthew 16:17 And 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. The previous verse tied together with the following verses. 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; 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 or PSUCHIKOS man is the man who by natural process of procreation comes from Adam. 1 Cor. 15:22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. God places us positionally in Christ at the very moment we believe the gospel message, that has been revealed to us by the Holy Spirit, and we become one with Christ and as Peter is, we are considered Blessed in God’s eyes. 2 Cor. 5:21 For he hath made him (Christ) to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. Thus we, as your name implies, become a new creature in Christ with a living spirit. 2 Cor. 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. That might spark off a debate but that is what “I believe”, CDBJ |

Hi New Creature, The numerous things that God gives us at the point in time when we trust in Christ are probably so infinitesimal, as far as the time difference is concerned, that it can’t be measured! As with physical life, when it starts, I think that we, as believers, have nothing until spiritual life begins, although God knew we would be in Christ before the foundation of the world. It’s like us setting up plans for the berth of a new addition to the family; some people plan a childs entire life before they are even born. The more we study the more we come to find out what a lot of those benefits are; and as we grow in grace and knowledge of Christ we are just seeing the tip of the ice burg by comparison and can only praise God for who He is and what He has done!!! 1 Cor. 2:9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. And faith in Jesus got it all started, CDBJ |

827 | Explanation of Genesis 6:1-6 | Genesis | CDBJ | 127932 | ||
Hi tgc, I can safely say, with all certainty, that the topic that you have elaborated on is one, if not the most, talked about subject on the forum, if my memory serves me right. I can remember hashing over the original language in the Hebrew for hours trying to prove certain aspects of Genesis 6:1-6 and namely verse 4 in particular. We have to remember that, nothing in the Word of God is discovered, it’s revealed. Matthew 16:17 And 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. By doing a search of the verse from the home page you could likely find all that I have reiterated on over the past few years and I am still not sure of all the truth contained within those verses. I would like to point out one thing and that is the following. Psalm 119:160 ASV The sum of thy word is truth; And every one of thy righteous ordinances endureth for ever. In essence, all of the verses on any given Bible doctrine must be considered to establish truth and none will be contradicted; a common denominator will, as it were, be established where all the verses make sense. Have a great day, CDBJ |

Hi New Creature, Would it suffice to say that regeneration is one of the "numerous" benefits that God gives us at the point of salvation after faith in Christ? Have a great day, CDBJ |

Hi tgc, Pardon my interjection but I think you might have miss quoted some scripture, namely the following. “So Christ offers as proof of His resurrection the fact that He has flesh and blood and spirits do not.” Ref. Luke 24:39 Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have. Bones not blood! CDBJ |

Hi Norm, I think that the verse that you suggested would tell us rather that one could be saved on any day of the week and placed into the body of Christ, at the moment of there salvation. We have to determine when the word church is used, which comes to us from the Koine Greek word, EKKLESIA, whether the reference is to the organism or the organization; the same word is used to explain both. Case and point, Matthew 16:18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. Col. 1:24 Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body's sake, which is the church: Compared with the building, as a man made structure. 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. One can be a member of a church and still not be a member of “the” church and visa versa, and one doesn’t insure the other! Being a member of “the” church is the only one that counts after one takes their last breath. 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. Here is the EKKLESIA that counts! John 15:4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. Have a great day, CDBJ |

831 | who was Jesus | John 1:1 | CDBJ | 125181 | ||
What is the meaning behind your statement, “He is the second greatest personage in the universe.” In what respect could the second person of the Godhead be less then the first person of more then the third person, since the resurrection and seating on the throne of God in heaven? John 20:28 And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God. The only way God could pay the price for man sin would be to restrict Himself by taking on the form of a man so he could shed His own blood, for our payment for sin. God become a man and accepted the temporary restrictions so he could rectify man's curse. 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. All of the former equality between the Godhead has been restored. John 17:5 And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was. CDBJ |

Hi Zsuzsi, I enjoyed reading your personal profile. It is amazing how the Lord is building His church and calling His chosen ones out from the multitudes by revealing the truth about Jesus. Matthew 16:15-17 He saith unto them, But whom say ye 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 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 great day, CDBJ |

Hi terrib, In reading your post, your theology sounds right but the grammatical timing is off a little. You stated in your post. “All are in the present tense!” Actually all the verses you mentioned are in the Greek AORIST tense. Which is a point of time divorced from time and perpetuated forever. The point of time referred to, is the point in time when one puts all of their faith in the finished work that Christ did on the cross; it would be closer to the English past tense, it already happened when one trusted in Jesus and God regenerated them at that point. Ephes. 2:1 And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; 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 great day, CDBJ |

Just to set the record straight, I didn’t say, as you claimed I did, “You're right, O.T. people were believers by keeping the Law.” I didn’t even suggest that in my post, I merely ask if that’s what you believe. I believe that O.T. believers were saved the same as we are in the N.T. and that’s by putting all of their faith in Christ. The only difference is that they looked forward to the promise of the coming seed, which is Christ, and we look back. Romans 3:20 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin. We are saved the same way that Abraham was and he lived before the law was even given. Galatians 3:17-19 And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect. 18For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise. 19Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator. Have a nice day, CDBJ |

That's very interesting, your statement that is, “Before the Day of Pentecost, God did not live in man (with few exceptions like John the Baptist). So there was no power to forgive.” If I read you right, “So there was no power to forgive.” That would imply that that before Pentecost there was no capacity for God to save people? What was the means of salvation in the Old Testament, if since the New Testament we are finally under grace? John 1:17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. Could people be saved, during the times of the Old Testament, by keeping the Law? CDBJ |

Greetings. If what you say is truth, “Forgiveness is a conditional promise: if you forgive, you will be forgiven;” It is a fact that truth is not affected by time, what was true say 3000 years ago is still true today. Malachi 3:6 (A) For I am the LORD, I change not; Taking all of the previous in mind, and if we are forgiven on that basis, of our forgiving others; why did Jesus have to die for us to be forgiven; according to what you said, all I have to do, to be forgiven, is for me to forgive other and that makes it right? Where does the following verse come into play? Romans 6:23 (A) For the wages of sin is death; I have forgiven everyone that has owed me anything, does that mean that I am saved as a result? CDBJ |
