Sorry about that Ray, It should have just been (You) for emphasis. I have 11 translations in my PC on a program along with a Greek and Hebrew translation but I don't have NASB programmed in so that I can use it in conjunction with the rest and I wish I did because I actually like it the best.

Greetings Ken, There are no stupid questions, there can only be stupid answers; it’s what we do with the answers that make the difference. Acts 17:11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so. 1 Thes. 5:21 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. Have a great day, CDBJ |

1203 | Difference between sin and sins? | Rom 5:12 | CDBJ | 74678 | ||
Hello Hank, I once heard a pastor state that sin, in the singular is our old nature, and the reason that we commit personal acts or sins, in the plural. That old nature resides with us, in the body, as believers along with our new nature. At any point in time we are under the controlled of one nature or the other; i.e. it’s an absolute, not a little of one or the other, but 100 percent. When we are being lead by the Spirit, God is in control. When we give in to the dictates of our old sin nature God is grieved or quenched and we fall out of fellowship. In order to put him back in control we must exercise the function of I John 1:9. He never leaves us or forsakes us but he just isn’t in control. Paul says that we are carnal, as it were, and we imitate the unbeliever. Check out the word flesh in the following verses then notice the connection at the bottom. Romans 8:5 (KJV) For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. Romans 9:8 (KJV) That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed. 1 Cor. 5:5 (KJV) To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. Galatians 5:16 (KJV) This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. Galatians 5:19 (KJV) Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Ephes. 2:3 (KJV) Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. Col. 2:11 (KJV) In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ: Col. 2:23 (KJV) Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body; not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh. Hebrews 9:13 (KJV) For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh: 1 Peter 3:21 (KJV) The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ: 2 Peter 2:18 (KJV) For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error. 1 John 2:16 (KJV) For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. All of these verses contain the word flesh, which comes to us from the Koine Greek word (SARX) and it is synonymous with the old sin nature. It makes a lot of sense to me and by reading in, the old sin nature, instead of flesh it appears to work every time. Just my two cents worth, CDBJ |

Greetings Robert, I would concur with you on that. I think in order to explain death, as the Bible speaks of it, it helps to look at it from the standpoint of what Adam experienced. When Adam ate of the forbidden fruit, the way I see it, he died spiritually that very day and as a result of that spiritual death he set the wheels in motion for his physical death. Dear old grandfather Adam wasn’t able to procreate his species the same way that he was created, i.e. with a body, soul, and spirit. Thus the part of us that has association with God, our spirit, is inoperative at the point of birth. 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. We are born physically alive and spiritually dead; thus the need to be born again of the Spirit of God. John 3:3 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. The word see, IEDO in the Greek, is not visual inspection but a mental perception. He in essence brings our spirit to life and reveals to us that we are his, with a new nature. Ephes. 4:24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. Romans 8:16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: My two cents worth, have a nice day, CDBJ |

1205 | disciplerami when did you Bcome a sinner | Rom 5:12 | CDBJ | 75442 | ||
Greetings, the doctrine of the old sin nature is pretty much cut and dried in all of the Christian circles, that I have come in contact with, yet out of the blue here comes something new. If according to what you have been taught, we are not sinners until we commit the first act of sin, wouldn’t it be possible that Christ wouldn’t have had to come into the world to die for us, since there were some here that could have died as a substitute, that were sinless? All God would have had to do was pour out all the sins of the world on to that person before they became a sinner. Do you suppose that Paul was wrong when he said, Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Maybe all doesn’t really me all and the babies are excluded. They wouldn’t even have had to be babies to be sinless because of a verse in John. John 15:22 If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloke for their sin. Could this mean that there were those that Jesus was talking about that were sinless, our do you suppose that is pulling it out of context a little? Anytime we think we have the correct logic, for any specific doctrine, and that logic is thwarted by other Scripture it means we haven’t found the common denominator for that logic to be plausible. 2 Tim. 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: It would appear that you are confusing the word sins with the word sin. It is hard to detect the differentiation with the English but in essence we commit sins because we have sin, as a nature, that is in us from birth. It is apparent that our old sin nature resides in the cell structure of our bodies according what Paul has told us. Romans 7:17-18 Now 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. Paul has become aware that he is in position of two natures and one is in conflict with the other constantly, but there will come a time when the sin nature, residing in the body, will be done away with and Paul knew who to thank. Romans 7:20-25 Now 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. Have a nice day, CDBJ |

Greetings kreature, and welcome to the forum. It is my understanding that the first use of the word baptize, which is a transliteration, from the word “BAPTIZO”, was coined by the Greek writer Homer in one of his epics. The original use of the word was used when a sward was plunged into blood and Homeric history brings out the emphasis of showing association between the blood and the sward. My two cents worth, CDBJ |

If one were to think that baptism was necessary for salvation, then in order to make sure, they should “work” all the angles and do it all kinds of ways and probably even every other Month just incase it didn’t really take; but then again that’s not the gospel message is it! 1 Cor. 1:17 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect. You made the statement, “If this is the case, and Jesus was not too good to go into the water, then why can't we?” I think you might be stepping out on a limb to say in effect, “if Jesus was not to good”. He is without a doubt the best, and He was expressing obedience to the Father’s will. Matthew 3:17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Jesus was baptized because it was the Father’s will; it was John that had a problem with baptizing Jesus. Hebrews 10:7 Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God. The next thing to be an issue in baptism will likely be the use of fresh or salt water; the methods are endless and the verses in Acts pretty well some it all up in my estimation. Acts 8:37 And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. I find it interesting that Philip didn’t say you “must”. A person could be baptized, as it were, until they get hypothermia, and it wouldn’t mean a thing if they haven’t totally trusted in Jesus Christ for their salvation first; it’s like the old adage of putting the cart before the horse. Just to ease your mind I do believe in emersion, but I believe it must come after one has willfully trusted in Jesus, God’s Son, for their personal salvation. I believe that baptism is only an outward expression of ones obedience, apart from salvation, the same way it was a visual expression of Christ obedience to the Father. I see it as a visual expression of association with the trinity of God and obedience to God’s desire for me as one of His children after relying on the finished work of Christ.

The thief on the cross, next to Jesus, destroys your concept. God is no respecter of persons and Jesus said the following. Luke 23:43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise. Your reference to baptism, Acts 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Yes, you are absolutely right that is what Scripture says, but it also says the following. Mark 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. The second half of this verse, “but he that believeth not shall be damned”; makes the word baptized parenthetical since it isn’t mentioned in the second half of the verse. The follows example and the numerous verses put all the emphasis on grace by faith; one, being the most popular, John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Theoretically, the way I see it, the one who “is trusting” in something that they have done, i.e. their water baptism, apart from grace through faith alone in Christ alone, isn’t really saved in the first place. Secondly, if a person isn’t really saved, I could never convince them because that’s the work of the Holy Spirit. 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; This topic has been hashed around so long on the forum, really all one needs to do it type baptism in the search window and there will be hours of study presented by people that know a lot more then I do!

God’s plan of salvation is exactly the same in the Old Testament as it is in the New Testament. Those in the Old Testament looked forward to the coming of God’s Christ and we look back and there is no difference. Abraham is a good example, John 8:56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad. I think the promise given to Abraham was before he was baptized. Romans 4:16 Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all, Maybe Paul forgot about Abraham being baptized or maybe he wasn’t or it just wasn’t mentioned? Ephes. 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: The only baptism that is absolutely a must is dry and it happens at the moment or point in time when one places “all” of their hope for eternal life in the person of Jesus Christ. The baptism of the Spirit in the one baptism that unifies all believers in Christ and it doesn’t have a thing to do with water! Ephes. 4:3-5 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. 4There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; 5One Lord, one faith, one baptism, Everyone will be baptized by the Lord with a dry baptism. Faith in Christ bringing the baptism of the Holy Ghost, which seals believers, 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 nice day CDBJ |

1210 | Why do we ignore parts of Moses' laws? | Rom 6:14 | CDBJ | 176960 | ||
I find no evidence in God’s Word that suggest what you a claiming. You stated: “Under the New covenant the apostles were given the authority to interpret and change the law.” Is that some kind of a new revelation or just a different slant that you’re trying to establish? I think the following might straighten this up a little. Matthew 5:18 "For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke shall pass away from the Law, until all is accomplished. I would surmise that the previous verses would include the word “change” as well or is that being too presumptuous on my part? The binding and loosing that you quote in Matt. 16:19 is the fact that Peter knew who the Jesus was, and as the Messiah the Son of God He would open the way to heaven. i.e. Peter now had the key but he was forbidden to tell others “at that time”. Matthew 16:20 Then He warned the disciples that they should tell no one that He was the Christ. The only connection that the law has with Matt. 16:19 is the fact of being curse by it and Christ is the key to being set free from it. CDBJ |

Greetings Iktoose, That was a very interesting and I had to do some research on that one. From what I could find out, Jesus was leaving Judea and making the trip North in John chapter four. There was another route He could have taken that was to the East which passed along the banks of the Jordan River. That was a route most often used by the Jews so they could avoid the Samaritans. The time period of the verse in John 4 could have been connected and be the earlier part of the same journey as described in Matt. 15 and 16, which ended up at its most northern point in Sidon. Here is an interesting thought that I found in, (BKC) From John 4:26 and the Fact of Jesus declaring who He is. (Bible Knowledge Commentary) 4:26. This self-declaration by Jesus Himself—I… am He (the Messiah)—is unusual. Normally in His ministry in Galilee and Judea (cf. 6:15) because of political implications, He veiled His office and used the title “Son of Man.” But with this Samaritan the dangers of revolt by national zealots were not a problem. From everything that I have found I would say that the encounter with the Samaritan woman in John 4, took place before the session with the disciples in Matt. 16. No absolute Biblical proof though, one way or the other as I can see. Again, good question, maybe someone else can shed some light on this; someone that has expertise on the travels of Jesus and can fit Matthew, Mark, Luke and John into the proper time frames. Have a great day, CDBJ |

When all caps are used it makes it difficult to determine some things. Example, SPIRIT and spirit, which is the first, the Holy Spirit or the human spirit? If you are having a hard time seeing your print why don’t you type up everything on Microsoft Word and increase your font size and then copy and past to the forum? The forum will reduce everything to their standard font, which is Arial 10. I have made Arial 14 my default because I have the same problem that you have with the small print. Have a nice day, CDBJ |

1214 | Invite Jesus into you LIFE, not HEART... | Rom 6:23 | CDBJ | 35461 | ||
Let me see if I am hearing you right, just to get the record straight, lets say for sake of the discussion, that I don't the Bible form a boy scout manual, and you come up to me on the street and say to me, hay buddy, if you ask Jesus into your heart you can be saved: And I wonder what ever being saved is? I say ok, I'm all for saving stuff,I got a friend that's a real packrat maybe I can be one up on him. Ok Jesus come into my heart; now does that mean that I just did something that's worthy enough for me to get eternal life? On your authority you just promised me eternal life and by the way what authority do you have, how much weight do you push around here? And will God back you us or are we both going to fall in a ditch of trouble? |

1215 | Invite Jesus into you LIFE, not HEART... | Rom 6:23 | CDBJ | 35508 | ||
Dear believer57, I really appreciate your response to my question but I feel bad now because you evidently didn't catch the wording, (lets say for sake of discussion), I am not questioning the message of what you are saying, I am questioning the function or action that you said one must do to be saved. I am very sorry if I mislead you into thinking that I am not a member of the elect. I have been save for over 36 years now I just said that I haven't read in the Bible where an unbeliever is supposed to ask Jesus into his heart, or life, technically speaking. The verse that you mentioned in Revelation 3:20 is so misused when presenting the salvation message. Christ wasn't even talking to unbelievers at this point but believers that were out of fellowship. He comes into unbelievers for salvation not to sup as with a believer for fellowship. A lot of believer have the Spirit but He is quenched in their life. Jesus wants to restore the closeness and have fellowship with them. God doesn't rebuke children that aren't his! The word repent for the unbeliever it toward Christ the living word, the word repent for the believer is toward God's living written word, the Bible. Rev. 3:17-20 . 19As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. 20Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. The message of Christ at this point is toward those in the church not outside. One of the best books for the presentation of the good news about Jesus is the book of John; in fact that was why it was written. 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. What I am trying to point out, and evidently failed to do, is to eliminate the false notion that one can ask Jesus into their heart or life. One can receive Christ into their life but not just by asking, that would be works! The word believe is the key, when a person believes in Jesus with the intensity that the Greek word PISTEUO conveys receiving Christ is something that is automatic. 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, People aren't saved because they walk and aisle or jump through some ones psychological hoop or by quote some magical phrase. They need enough information to put their confidence and trust in Jesus and the only way this can happen is by hearing God's word about His Son. Romans 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. The Greek idiom, heart, sure has messed up a lot of well meaning people. If one would think of the heart as that of a tree as being the very core or center, they would be closer to the real meaning; the inner most being. Jesus mentioned this to the woman at the well. John 7:38 (NASB) "He who believes in Me, as the Scripture said, 'From his innermost being shall flow rivers of living water.' " There are a lot of so-called believers out there that think just because they did something that they are saved. They don't know enough about Jesus to know what he did for them but they sure are trusting in what they did by raising their hand in a service or making some kind of a decision to walk an aisle. A good example would be the thief on the cross next to Jesus, what did he do that brought on the response from Christ that the thief would be with him in paradise? I hope that I haven't confused you, if you would like to I will go in it in more detail. If you think the idiom of heart is a problem, you aught to see what they though the seat of the emotions was, the kidneys! Sorry about the mix up, CDBJ |
