1121 | Father greater than Jesus | John 14:28 | CDBJ | 130797 | ||
Whose blood is the following verse talking about, or how would you explain it away if it isn’t the actual blood of Jesus and thus being the blood of God? 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.

The Bible is very adamant about the fact that all will stand before God someday, for judgment, of which all but the "very least", intellectually speaking or the inept with regard to the Bible, on this forum have completely agreed! Hebrews 9:27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: Who, in your opinion, will all of mankind be standing in front of, God the Father, God the Son, Or God the Holy Spirit: since all will be judged by God?

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 |

Hi Country Girl, The Bible tells us that God is Love, 1 John 4:8 (B) for God is love. God functions as a result of this component, love, toward us; It’s not because He is desperate or wants very badly, as you have suggested, or because of any consequence toward Him. You suggested, “He still wants very badly to have the whole world repent and give up this world of sin.” 2 Peter 3:9 (NIV) The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. The word “Wanting”, in the previous verse means that God’s love made the provision for us in the person of His Son Jesus the Christ. Repentance, as mentioned, and faith are two sides of the same coin you can't have one with out the other. John 6:37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. God’s love is very hard to explain in human terms because His love is so far above human love that it’s hard for the human mind to comprehend. God’s love doesn’t change because of circumstances or situations. It doesn’t grow or diminish because of situations; it's a constant. Malachi 3:6 (A) For I am the Lord, I change not; God is not in love, He is love! Human love is so unstable that we can love a person one day and hate them the next! God’s love isn’t dependent on us it’s dependent on Him therefore it doesn't change. Whether we fail or succeed won’t change the love of God one little bit, because it doesn’t depend on anything outside of Himself, it’s His nature and always has been and always will be. There is nothing that is antecedent to God’s love it is first and foremost. Even if, and when, we commit sins as a believer it doesn’t affect the love of God for us by one iota, because His fantastic AGAPE love isn’t dependent on us it’s dependent on Him and His essence; sin will put one out of fellowship but it doesn’t change God’s love for us. The total essence of God emanates from the fact that God is love. The Omniscient God knew in eternity past everything we would ever do, even after we became Christians and His love still revealed Christ to us and saved us, when we trusted in His Messiah, Jesus. I don’t think, personally speaking, that we will ever “completely” comprehend the love of God because it is so vast! 1 Cor. 13:8 Love never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall be done away; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall be done away. Hallelujah what a savior!!! Have a great day, CDBJ |

Hi Country Girl, There is a source of information that I would like to suggest, it is a book that they will send you free of charge, which is extremely informative, and it will eliminate me stirring up the proverbial hornets nest on the forum!! Been there done that. My soap box has the top pushed in from me standing on it so long, ho, ho! Check this out if you like to read books, as I do, and it won't cost you anything unless you would like to contribute something. Their policy is that anything they publish connected with the Word of God should be free, and if the Lord lays it on your heat to contribute to their publications that would be great. I get a lot of taps from them also. Enjoy! http://www.berachah.org/reversionism.htm Have a great day, CDBJ |

We know that God is omniscient, therefore he knows who the winners are; wouldn't it be against His character to elect or chose the losers because the elect of God are already more then winners in Christ. The future with God is just as perspicuous as the past! 1 Peter 1:20 Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you, Ephes. 1:4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: John 17:24 Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world. God knows the future as well as the past and he doesn't waste his time or even come close to jeopardizing his character! God knew from eternity past how we were going to react to the message of his precious Son even before this big ball we are standing on was here. We have free will, God just knew what we would do with it and he doesn't pick losers. |

Hank, you mean that you have never heard of the concept that man was created to (resolve the angelic conflict). The theory goes that after Lucifer sinned, along with one third of the angels who decided to follow him, a court hearing took place in heaven and they were all found guilt and were sentenced to go to the lake of fire. Satan decided to appeal the sentence saying that a loving God couldn't cast his creatures into such a place. There was a stay of execution so that God could prove otherwise, thus we have the creation of man. I am sure that Tim Moran could probably fill you in on all the details he is pretty good at some of this deep stuff, but that is a short summation of the concept; don't ask me where it comes from because I have a real pat answer, I don't know! It is said that every time someone believes is Christ it is an expression of resolve and the devil knows that he has an appointed time left. The following might fit the last part. 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 ??? |

1130 | Iam having some questions | John 17:1 | CDBJ | 212438 | ||
Greetings, I have read your comments on the modus operandi of those that have trusted in Christ for their salvation, But am I comprehending you correctly, i.e. that it is "your understanding" of scripture that while we are yet still in the flesh, that we who are saved, can not commit sin? 1 John 2:1 My little children, I am writing these things to you that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous; The following verse carries the connotation of desirability along with plausibility and the solution; should the third class condition of the “if clause” tend to raise its ugly head.

Pcdarcan, 1,2,3,4 or what ever, I haven’t been reviewing the forum for a few days, but if my memory serves me right I am the one who restricted you not Hank! It sure looks to me like you have been throwing rocks at the wrong person all this time and as a result it would appear that I was right in restricting your threads! CDBJ |

1132 | "The Passion of the Christ" | John 19:30 | CDBJ | 113623 | ||
Greetings Makarios, It is the accepted consensus of opinion with Bible believing Christians that God the Father poured out the sins of the world on Jesus between the sixth and the ninth hour, when there was darkness and Christ screamed out because God had forsaken him. My question is, why did Christ have to suffer the brutality of mankind before the sixth hour?? This has puzzled me for years, CDBJ |

1133 | "The Passion of the Christ" | John 19:30 | CDBJ | 113678 | ||
Greetings Emmaus, Jesus as he really was, must have been a very strong and muscular individual and not as we see him depicted in so many pictures. It is “my” opinion that Satan, working through the forces of evil, and the ruling powers at the time did everything that they could to kill Christ before he could make it to the cross. It took the strength of a special individual, physically, to endure what Jesus did and still make it to the cross where he would become cursed for our sins. Galatians 3:13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: There is no doubt in my mind that Satan knows Scripture and he did his best to thwart or stop the working of Christ on the cross those last three hours. Satan tried to eliminate Christ at berth. Matthew 2:12-13 And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way. 13And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him. Matthew 2:16 Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently enquired of the wise men. I think God was helping him all the way up to the final sixth hour, when God finally had to turn his back on him and this is when darkness covered the earth; the moment he, Christ was made sin for us and he became separated from God for the first time ever. The last three hours to Jesus would be like an eternity to us it was so rough! Jesus endured all of the torture, before the last three hours without complaining one bit; he never opened his mouth once or complained until the wrath of God was poured out him because of our sin. He was experiencing the wages of sin for us, and those wages meant separation from God. Does anyone else see it that way with regards to the time before the last three hours? CDBJ |

Hi Prayon, Well I guess what I am saying is that I don’t completely understand what you were saying. What exactly is your statement inferring? There are days when this poor old head can’t quite fathom certain things. You said; “When putting all these verses together it tells us that any duly constituted body of believers, acting on the authority of Gods word, has the authority to declare if someone is forgiven or unforgiven.” Doesn’t that statement kind of lean toward Romanism or did I miss something somewhere? This following statement has me a little confused as well. “For example if the church says an unrepented person” What kind of a person would that be; what is an unrepented person? Could you just expound on this a little for the sake of one that doesn’t catch on to things very fast? The one being me, CDBJ |

1139 | Holy Spirit without evidence of tongues? | Acts | CDBJ | 18958 | ||
You say that a person must be baptized, do you meaning with water and is this a prerequisite for salvation or does it come afterwards. If it comes afterwards, then the person is already saved, if it is before salvation, then it is works and that knocks out grace. If you are right about water baptism, then does this mean that God is a respecter of persons, because He must have made an exception for the thief on the cross who couldn't do anything, but believe in Jesus; and Christ himself said that the thief would be with him in paradise. There seems to be a few problems with this view. Please explain, yours in Christ, CDBJ | ||||||
1140 | Holy Spirit without evidence of tongues? | Acts | CDBJ | 19198 | ||
DLD, I have read and appreciate all of the great verses that you pointed out and they are all scripture; but let me see if I understand you right. Are you telling me that unless a person is baptized in water by another individual, and I assume that you mean by immersion, that they don't have eternal life; even though they have completely trusted in Jesus Christ and the (finished) work that He performed for them on the cross? Please enlighten, CDBJ | ||||||
