1222 | Impact of Music in Spiritual Warfare? | Rom 8:6 | CDBJ | 166850 | ||
Greetings Doc, Is there any evidence in the New Testament that would suggest the dedicating of so much time to singing; I sure can’t find it? It seems “to me” if music were such an important part of the Christian way of life that it would be found in the following. Ephes. 6:10-17 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. [11] Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. [12] For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. [13] Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. [14] Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; [15] And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; [16] Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. [17] And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: Why should our services be so different then those of the first century services? CDBJ |

Thanks Doc, I see what you are saying. It’s just been a bone of contention with me, since I only spend a given amount of time under the teaching of a man, that is far more educated then I am in matters of the Word of God, that 50 percent of this time is wasted listening to music, which won’t maintain me one bit in a problem situation like Bible doctrine will.

Hi Tim, Good call; I remembered the verse in Eph. but the one in I Cor.14 completely slipped my mind. I guess I'm getting difficult in my old age. I truly love the old hymns but most of this new stuff that they are pushing with so few words and so many verses doesn't seem to even come close to the good old favorites in my estimation. Example, “The old Rugged Cross”, “A mighty Fortress”, “Amazing Grace”, etc. CDBJ |

1225 | Is there a bible verse that means this? | Rom 8:28 | CDBJ | 232180 | ||
Greetings and welcome to the forum. When I first started reading the Bible for my self I was given a very good peace of information that turned out to be very informative. I would like to pass this on to you and if used, will save you a lot of time and confusion. You seem to be following the same pattern that I pursued which lead to many misunderstandings of Scripture. The best interpretation of the Bible is the Bible it’s self. The best advice I was given was to read through the New Testament no less then three times before ever venturing into any of the Old Testament and before reading, always ask the Lord to reveal the truth of His Word to you. The best news that I found was that eternal life is a free gift from God and that when God gives that free gift you will have not doubt that you have eternal life right here and now. It can’t be earned and it doesn’t depend on us but Jesus and the fact that He paid the price that God requires for our salvation. Titus 3:5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; Some of the most fantastic promises that God has offered us are found in the book of John’s gospel. God can’t lie and we must depend on this fact and claim those promises! Have a great day and stick to the Word, CDBJ |

1226 | Does satan's army have military ranking? | Rom 8:37 | CDBJ | 41069 | ||
I would have to disagree with you about Satan's kingdom not having as it were a chain of command. Eph. 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. The word principalities is translated from the Koine Greek word ARCHE which carries the following connotation. arche, ar-khay'; from Greek 756 (archomai); (properly abstract) a commencement, or (concrete) chief (in various applications of order, time, place or rank) beginning, corner, (at the, the) first (estate), magistrate, power, principality, principle, rule. (Strong's) C. WHY: TO STAND AGAINST THE DEVIL'S STRATEGY (6:11B-13) 6:11b-12. The purpose of putting on God's armor is to be able to stand against the schemes or stratagems (methodeias, used in the NT only here and in 4:14) of the devil or adversary (cf. 4:27). Christians are not to attack Satan, or advance against him; they are only to stand or hold the territory Christ and His body, the church, have conquered. Without God's armor believers will be defeated by the schemes of the devil which have been effective for thousands of years. The struggle is not physical (against flesh and blood); it is a spiritual conflict against the spiritual Mafia. Though the ranks of satanic forces cannot be fully categorized, the first two (rulers and authorities) have already been mentioned in 1:21 and 3:10. Paul added the powers of this dark world (cf. 2:2; 4:18; 5:8) and the spiritual forces of evil. Their sphere of activity is in the heavenly realms, the fifth occurrence of this phrase, which is mentioned in the New Testament only in 1:3, 20; 2:6; 3:10; 6:12. Satan, who is in the heavens (2:2) until he will be cast out in the middle of the Tribulation (Rev. 12:9-10), is trying to rob believers of the spiritual blessings God has given them (Eph. 1:3).

When you say that Satan is under your feet you have a lot more nerve then I do in light of Jude 1:9 Jude 1:9 Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee. I strongly believe that we should do as Paul recommended. Epees. 6:10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. The next verse is where I might have a problem. Ephes. 6:11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. When Paul says put on, that means there is a process in doing this. The problem is there are times when I can't dress fast enough. Even the Romans didn't have there armour on all the time and don't think that the devil doesn't know our weak spots when we aren’t covered. 1 Cor. 10:12 Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall. I do a lot of hunting and a Lion is an easy target to spot the worst problem is the wolf that is dressed up like a cute little sheep and the wood are full of them now days,if you know what I mean! Even with all these warnings I have my biggest problem with my own old sin nature. I have a continuous little war going on in my head with the two natures that I now posses and believe me I claim 1Jonn 1:9, a good part of the time. 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. Satan loves to get us in a position where we are naturalized. He doesn't have any claim to the believers in Christ, but if he can get us to mess-up good, he knows that it will ruin our testimony for Christ, so that people won't listen to us anymore. We have to live the life if we are going to talk the talk! Have you ever heard the saying, (What you are doing speaks so loud that I can't hear what you are saying!) Satan's works aren’t over yet because Jesus is still seated at the Father's right hand. Don't let pride get the upper hand and cause a fall. Proverbs 16:18 Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall. Be real careful before lifting your self up before the enemy! In Christ love,CDBJ |

1234 | Vessels prepared for destruction? | Rom 9:22 | CDBJ | 70381 | ||
Greetings Makarios, your post reads, God does not create 'vessels of wrath prepared for destruction.' According to Genesis 1:31, "God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. ..." And when God said this, He was including human beings! If this is the case, is Romans 9:21 not a part of the inspired Word of God? Romans 9:21 Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour? Which one in Genesis is this talking about since there were only two that were actually created and how can Gen. 2:7 come before Gen. 1:31 for God to SEE it was good? When God made this statement Lucifer had long since been created and God knew that he wasn’t good. I am curious, as I have never heard this put quite the way you posted it. CDBJ |

I don’t fall into either the C camp or the A camp but the statement that you just made that we shouldn’t go too far with what you say is an extreme in understanding God’s word just might have me leaning toward the C camp. Getting back to my Question at the point of creation where God saw that all was good: He had already created Lucifer and that surely wasn’t good or is that one of the times when we shouldn’t go to extremes? And by the way how do we know when these times are, maybe eternal life doesn’t really mean what it says and maybe we aren’t really saved as it says, that seems pretty extreme to give a guy like me eternal life just for trusting in Christ. Or maybe God doesn’t reveal what I know to those who are entrenched in the A camp? I will say this for sure I know what I know and I know I can’t loose it because I didn’t do anything to get it in the first place. I just believe it and it doesn’t depend on me to hang on to it, if it did I would have lost it by now! I guess that I can say to all that are in the A camp that you have my best regards and I wish you the best however it might turn out. Why do we have to be classified as a Calvinist or and Arminianist? I just want to be classified as a Christian. I don’t belong to either one of those two guys, I belong to Christ! CDBJ |

Well now there is a new wrinkle, I am afraid that is a little to extreme for this old boy but more power to yea. I don’t want to get between those two camp that I mentioned before. | ||||||

Well I can find the same fault with both sides and there are so many out there that don’t have a hint as to the Gospel and the plan of salvation. It is virtually a sin for us to be wasting our time on something that has never been proven for hundreds of years when we could be such a blessing to so many that don’t even know Christ or those that think that they do and really don’t. Matthew 7:21-23 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. [22] 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. |

Well Joe, I try but some times I think that I am living in no man’s land. I don’t want to get you guys started on the subject that raises so much stink on this forum. I get taken to the woodshed by the Lord enough as it is, I don’t want to get anything started and get clobbered for that too. I have a hard enough time with the things that I can prove out right where there isn’t any gray area. I love all of you guys and gals in the Lord and if I get something going between you I really take it on the chin. Boy I mean the Lord really makes me feel miserable to the point that I can’t even sleep; so if I have hurt anybody’s feelings I apologize and I mean it, and that goes for both the Calvinist and the Arminianist and the hypers in both groups.

Joe, I know where you stand as do all on this forum but I would like to ask you a simple question, and I don’t mean to be sarcastic. Do you claim to be smarter and know more doctrine then dear old John Calvin? If you know where I am going with this you don’t even have to oblige me with an answer we will just let it end here. CDBJ | ||||||
