1101 | what sect is the right one to worship? | John 4:24 | CDBJ | 180689 | ||
Jesus not only knew the “truth”, He was the truth, personified. John 14:6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through Me. John 1:14 And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth. CDBJ |

Greetings, and welcome you to the forum. You have just elaborated on the difference between, “the” church which is being built by Christ and “a” church, which is built by human craftsman. “Christ’s church or “the” church, is an organism, it’s alive: “a” church, built by man is an organization, often times containing members of “the” church the living body of Christ. Matthew 16:18 (B) and Jesus is speaking I will build My church; and the gates of Hades shall not overpower it. In the next verses Paul explains about Jesus and what He is building. Ephes. 2:18-22 for through Him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father. [19] So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints, and are of God's household, [20] having been built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus Himself being the corner stone, [21] in whom the whole building, being fitted together is growing into a holy temple in the Lord; [22] in whom you also are being built together into a dwelling of God in the Spirit. I hope you enjoy the forum, CDBJ |

1104 | Saved vs. Works (John 5:24 and 5:28-29) | John 5:24 | CDBJ | 60637 | ||
Where does it show in James that we are saved by work? Are you saying that if a person is a paraplegic that they can’t be saved? If that were the case then God would be a respecter of persons. Romans 2:11 For there is no respect of persons with God. |

1105 | Saved vs. Works (John 5:24 and 5:28-29) | John 5:24 | CDBJ | 60639 | ||
The key to what James is talking about is found in verse 2:18, with the words show me. 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. Someone once said, (What you do speaks so loud that I can’t hear what you are trying to tell me.) What this means is, that if we are going to profess to be Christians or Christ like, our life better show it other wise keep quiet. If we are going to talk the talk we better walk the walk because we are being watched. 2 Cor. 5:15 And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again. 2 Cor. 5:20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God. |

Thanks BMyers, but I believe you meant to direct your post to User1965. Experience has shown that only about one out of ten well actually take the time to look up the scriptural address, if that is all that is given as an answer. It benefits most if the actual verses are written out in full along with the address. EXAMPLE, you suggested the following. Proverbs 6:1-19 My son, if thou be surety for thy friend, if thou hast stricken thy hand with a stranger, 2Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, thou art taken with the words of thy mouth. 3Do this now, my son, deliver thyself, when thou art come into the hand of thy friend; go, humble thyself, and make sure thy friend. 4Give not sleep to thine eyes, nor slumber to thine eyelids. 5Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand of the hunter, and as a bird from the hand of the fowler. 6Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise: 7Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler, 8Provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest. 9How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep? 10Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep: 11So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, and thy want as an armed man. 12A naughty person, a wicked man, walketh with a froward mouth. 13He winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feet, he teacheth with his fingers; 14Frowardness is in his heart, he deviseth mischief continually; he soweth discord. 15Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall he be broken without remedy. 16These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: 17A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, 18An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, 19A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren. Proverbs 11:15 He that is surety for a stranger shall smart for it: and he that hateth suretiship is sure. Have a great day, CDBJ |

1109 | Is 'once saved always saved correct? | John 6:37 | CDBJ | 31435 | ||
Where, after reading the New Testament, do you come up with the idea that there is still the functioning of a priesthood, as mediators? Why do you think that the curtain in the temple was torn from top to bottom? That was the end of the earthly priesthood and God Himself did the tearing to show us that the way to Him was open now because of the work of His Son Jesus! Mark 15:38 And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom. True believers in God through Jesus Christ don't need a priest as a mediator, that's why we have Jesus. 1 Tim. 2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; As sons we can go directly to our Fathers Throne we don't need a man here on earth to intercede for us; we have a priest in heaven that can't be topped. Hebrews 4:14-16 Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. 15For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. 16Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. There are a lot of people on this forum that better drop the religion stuff and get with God's program or one of these day it will be too late. Everyone that God has called out of darkness and into His light is a member of a royal priesthood. 1 Peter 2:9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: As far as having the power to remit, sin as mentioned in John 20:19-23, every born again believer has the ability to do this with the power of the Gospel, and if those that hear the Gospel to reject it then their sins are retained. Their sins are retained if they try to add to or take away from the Gospel. It's all Jesus and nothing else; faith in Him plus nothing!!! In love, 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 |

1112 | When does the Baptism occur? | John 7:38 | CDBJ | 43800 | ||
Hello blessed, speaking of the baptism of the Holy Spirit, I see it pretty much the same way that you do. I would like to add some verses that might through some light on the issue. When John the Baptist was speaking about Jesus in Mathew 3:11 Matthew 3:11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire: John was speaking to a crowed that contained both believers and unbelievers. They were all going to be baptized by Christ, by one or the other with the Holy Spirit or fire. i.e. Those that receive Christ as their own personal Savior and those that don't will receive Christ's baptism of fire. Rev. 20:12-15 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. 13And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. 14And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. 15And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. Is this any help, CDBJ |

Hi Blessed, there is another verse that crystallizes my thanking on the baptism of the Spirit being at the point of salvation. Ephes. 4:5-6 One Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. The word (one), in Eph.4, is in reference to unification, the only thing that all believers can be unified about is something that they have no control over, needless to say, because it is done for them. All believers know that there is only one Lord, and that is Jesus, there is only one faith that unifies, and all believers have that in the person of Jesus Christ for salvation. All those mentioned are unified by the having the same primary faith in the one Lord i.e. all believers have faith in Jesus as the Son of God and are automatically unified at the point of salvation by the third person of the Trinity the Holy Spirit; thus as the verse explains, we have the Son, the Holy Spirit and the Father. The triune God dwells within all believers at the point of salvation and God gets all the credit. So who do we praise, our GREAT unified God who is one in essence and three in personalities, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. This makes sense to me, what do you think? CDBJ |

1114 | When does the Baptism occur? | John 7:38 | CDBJ | 44206 | ||
Hello Ray, the way I see it the filling of the Spirit, is a process that involves the action of the will of each believer, otherwise Paul wouldn't have made the statement that he did. Ephes. 5:18 And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit; This is a decision for a positive action to be taken by a believer the same as drinking wine was a decision buy the individual involved. It is interesting to note in Ephes. 5:18 that the word (excess) is translated from the Koine Greek word (asotia); which is a compound word. The (a) is the alpha or negative meaning no or not and (sotia) infers rioting. Thus the use of to much wine leads to a riotous life style. The word (but) from (alla) introduces a contrast from what wine does when controlling the person, to what God wants to do when he is controlling the believers life. Notice the similarity to what is mentioned in I Peter 4:4. 1 Peter 4:4 Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you: At the moment of salvation every believer is indwelt and filled with the Spirit at the same time, thus being controlled by the Holy Spirit: However the filling of the Spirit can be lost, as it only last until the new believer commits their next sin. This sin is actually grieving or quenching the Spirit and the believer's old sin nature, which resides in the flesh, take control of the life again. Believers have two natures after salvation they have a new nature because of Christ and the old sin nature that came from Adam. Even though the Holy Spirit resides with the believer forever, as promised in Hebrews. Hebrews 13:5 B for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. The Holy Spirit is not always controlling or filling the believer that has chosen to sin and removed themselves from fellowship. Paul wrestled with this very problem in Romans 7:15-25 Romans 7:15-25 For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I. 16If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good. 17Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. 18For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. 19For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. 20Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. 21I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me. 22For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: 23But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. 24O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? 25I 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 was experiencing warfare within himself as to who was going to control him, his old sin nature, or the Holy Spirit. If sin, through the act of negative volition, is what eliminates the filling or controlling of the Spirit then the only way to reestablish the Filling of the Holy Spirit is by an act of positive volition; this is accomplished by a command in I John. 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. The command starts off with an (if), which is a third class condition in the Greek, i.e. maybe we will maybe we won't, but if we do, positive volition, it says that God is faithful, which means he will do it every time, and that he is just, he will forgive. The word (confess) is the Greek word (homologeo) and was originally was used to mean cite or declare as in a courtroom case, i.e. name your sin to God. The reason that God can forgive and be just in doing so is because his Son Jesus Christ paid for that sin on the cross. By doing this God is back in control and the believer is filled with the Spirit. It is helpful to realize what actually can be expected of those that are filled with the Spirit, as is mentioned in Ephes. 5:18-20, and it is interesting to note that a type of speaking takes place, but not what some would lead you to believe! Ephes. 5:18-20 And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit; 19Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; 20Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; Not a word was uttered of any form it is all done in silence, in the heart or soul of the one being filled. This is the way I see it, CDBJ |

That being the case how can anyone believing that; cope with the fact of the following? 2 Peter 3:9 (NASB) 9 The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance.
