Greetings Chemprof, There is a booklet out by R.B. Thieme Jr. called Creation, Chaos, and Restoration, that you might want to read, it's free. The address is 5139 West Alabama, Houston, Texas 77056 I think it explains exactly what you are trying to say. Have a nice day, CDBJ |

1042 | 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 |

Is your faithfulness to your Unitarian concept as sound as the agreement you said you would abide by when you joined the forum? Did you, or did you not, agree to the following when you joined the forum? "Postings must be Biblically based and not opposing to the authority of the Bible, Christianity, or the deity of Jesus Christ. Whenever possible, postings should include supporting Bible references." Friend, I can assure you that the previous paragraph is not open or subject to your own personal interpretation!! Incase you overlooked it, it does say the deity of Jesus Christ, or do you twist that around also to mean something entirely different. The straw man concept is rater obvious and I think you are walking on thin ice! If that is enough you are without a doubt conducting the following, which is not aloud on the forum. “Pushing one's denominational bias” 2 Peter 3:15-16 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; [16] As 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.

1044 | Is Jesus was another of God's tests? | John 1:1 | CDBJ | 140247 | ||
Hi Exodus 20, Jesus said what He did for the self same reason the God said what he did in Genesis 1:26 And God said, Let “us” make man in “our” image, after “our´ likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

1045 | how many unforgiven sins are there? | John 1:1 | CDBJ | 167167 | ||
Hi ebrain and jlhetrick, I think you both have the same objective, but one is on a port tack and the other is on starboard, and it’s interesting but for the fact that you are both on a collision course. The sin in question was more “obvious”, verbally, during the time when Jesus walked the earth then it is today. Now days the old cliché comes to the front, “actions speak louder then words”. People now reject the gospel message conveyed by the Holy Spirit and as a result there is no change in the life style, which is all we can visibly notice as “human” observers. Emphasis on the word “shew”. James 2:18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. I once heard a wise man state that if a person is worried whether or not they have committed the unpardonable sin, they haven’t done it yet or they wouldn’t be worried. John 16:8-9 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; I think you should stand back to back then take ten steps and turn around really fast and hug each other! Have a great day, CDBJ |

1048 | John's death | John 1:1 | CDBJ | 213834 | ||
Hi MJH, This confirms what you suggest even though it is extrabiblical. Fox’s Book of Martrys XVI. John The “beloved disciple,” was brother to James the Great. The churches of Smyrna, Pergamos, Sardis, Philadelphia, Laodicea, and Thyatira, were founded by him. From Ephesus he was ordered to be sent to Rome, where it is affirmed he was cast into a cauldron of boiling oil. He escaped by miracle, without injury. Domitian afterwards banished him to the Isle of Patmos, where he wrote the Book of Revelation. Nerva, the successor of Domitian, recalled him. He was the only apostle who escaped a violent death.

1049 | There He was? | John 1:9 | CDBJ | 112029 | ||
Hello Ray, The translation that you said you liked is the YLT or the Young’s Literal Translation. This is John 1:6-10 in the YLT. John 1:6-10 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. 7The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe. 8He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. 9That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. 10He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. My answer to the last part of your question, "that all might believe through Him." is I believe, found in the following. John 6:45 YLT (A) It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Combine that with, 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. That pretty much spells it out, CDBJ |

1050 | There He was? | John 1:9 | CDBJ | 112048 | ||
Hi Ray, You have the picture right. In the Koine Greek the action of the aorist participle always precedes the action of the main verb. But this is easy to figure out when one is being lead by the Spirit of God during the study of Scripture because Jesus is always the One that will be exalted. John 16:13-14 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. 14He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you. We should always use 1John 1:9 before we study God's Word to make sure that we are in a position to be taught by the Spirit. Have a great day, CDBJ |

Hi Mark; With reference to your question: “We have been talking about whether faith can exist in one before regeneration or not, but you have made this point moot by saying that you believe Abraham was a born again regenerate. Where does the Bible tell us that?” Do you believe that Abraham is in heaven? If your answer is an obvious yes then are the following verses true or false? John 3:3-5 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. [4] Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born? [5] Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. I would say on the basis of those pertinent verses, that all of the Old Testament believers were born again or regenerated. They are the family of God; we are the royal family. You suggest the following. “I would answer No because we do not see the Holy Spirit indwelling believers until after the crucifixion” The regenerating work of the Holy Spirit prior to the work of Christ on the cross didn’t guarantee the indwelling of the Spirit as we have it in the New Testament. We are privileged to have the down payment; the very earnest of the Spirit, which the Old Testament believers didn’t have. They were in indwelled in some cases but New Testament believers are indwelt, never to be forsaken. Have a nice day, CDBJ |

Hi Mark; You are absolutely right the Bible doesn’t actually say where Abraham is at present, just as it doesn’t say where we will be the week after we pass out of this life. The moment we pass out of these bodies we will be face to face with the Lord, but the Bible doesn’t actually say where we will be a week or so later, but isn’t that a rather obvious. 2 Cor. 5:8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. Now on the other hand we can take the following into consideration. John 14:2-3 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. [3] And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. Since these verses don’t take place until after, what we call the rapture, maybe we won’t be with Jesus all the time after we leave this life. Are we getting off of the beaten track or what? This is starting to sound like Greek logic. i.e. If (A) then (B), if (B) then (C) etc. Psalm 119:160 The sum of Thy word is truth, And every one of Thy righteous ordinances is everlasting. Have fun, CDBJ x |

Hi Justme, Ones perspicacity is the thought process by which they have ability to perceiver and understand situations. The object of understanding is lucid or clear to them. When it comes to understanding Bible doctrine and namely the gospel message all the human intellect in the world can’t make the issue clear, but by the means and work of the Holy Spirit one can know the truth of Scripture and put their faith in the finish works of Jesus the Christ the Son of God. 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. 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. Have a great day, CDBJ |

Hi Justme, It looks like I sent that post to myself the first time! It must have been a lack of perspicacity on my part. Ho ho. Ones perspicacity is the thought process by which they have ability to perceiver and understand situations. The object of understanding is lucid or clear to them. When it comes to understanding Bible doctrine and namely the gospel message all the human intellect in the world can’t make the issue clear, but by the means and work of the Holy Spirit one can know the truth of Scripture and put their faith in the finish works of Jesus the Christ the Son of God.

Hi Mark; What is meant by your statement? “We are kind of off track here, but this thread is passing dangerously close to dispensationalism, and so the point is germain.” 1 Cor. 9:17 For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation of the gospel is committed unto me. Ephes. 1:10 That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him: Ephes. 3:2 If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to youward: Col. 1:25 Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God; Is there something wrong with dispensations that I don’t know about and or was Paul under the same germane influence as yours truly, due to the fact of the previous verses? Have fun, CDBJ |

Hi Doc; I kind of liked your “panglossian nature” but I always thought of it as your polyglot personality processes that presumptuously tried to persuade us! 2 Cor. 5:11 Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences.

Greetings Koscheiman, and welcome to the forum. For starters we don’t point the finger, as it were, at any particular denomination, as a matter of good practice, and “forum rules”. I agree with you on the, asking Christ into ones heart stuff! It’s highly unscriptural and on the list of worthless works the way I see it. I believe James is telling us that as believers with “true saving faith in Jesus”, we will have the works automatically. I once pointed out that faith in salvation is a lot like a reaction to poison ivy; if you can fathom that! Example: When someone has a reaction to poison ivy they can’t help but scratch, WOW, I’m speaking from experience; yet if a person doesn’t have a reaction to poison ivy, from lack of contact, no amount of scratching in the world could give them the rash if they haven’t had personal contact with the ivy vine with the shiny three leaves. Scratching, when one gets poison ivy, is a natural reaction and that’s how it manifests its self. One needs a personal contact with the Savior before the true works of James will express themselves. I like the way James 2:24 starts out; James 2:24 "Ye see then" The Lord knows for sure if one is saved by faith but we can only differentiate when we see the works. Matthew 7:20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. Have a great day, CDBJ |

Hi John, I have a great idea why don’t you get off of this kick and you and I can take up the subject of God creating something so big that he can’t lift it. Whichever side you take I will take the other. Or maybe we could discuss an irresistible force running into an immovable object, it would make about as much sense as this post has accomplished over the past however log it’s been. You are trying to reinvent the wheel, let it go brother and lets get on to something that doesn’t create so much DISCORD. Proverbs 6:16-19 These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: [17] A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, [18] An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, [19] A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth DISCORD among brethren. I tell you this in Love, CDBJ |
