Greetings mommapbs, I have always thought that while Christ was here on earth, to redeem man, that he didn’t exhibit all of the attributes of God. A good example of this I think would be the following. 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. Mark 13:32 But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father. CDBJ |

1465 | Could Jesus like Adam have sinned? | Phil 2:7 | CDBJ | 173841 | ||
Greetings koscheiman; Let me see if I am reading you right, when you say the following? Your statement says; “Yes Jesus could have sinned the Scriptures read, Heb 4:15 "For we have not a high priest that cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but one that hath been in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin." How do you arrive, from this verse that Jesus was actually able to sin? And if this is your thesis do you also believe that God can be temped to sin as well? CDBJ |

Greetings; You say that God the Father can’t be tempted; is that suggesting then that the first person of the Trinity is not able to be tempted but the other two members of the Trinity can be, since you singled out only God the Father? I would imagine that you are using the following verse as your hypothesis but there isn’t any specific mention of any of the personalities of the Godhead? James 1:13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: Let’s not forget what follows that verse, if that’s the one you are using? James 1:14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. Where does that place Jesus in “your opinion” with the lust angle with relationship to temptation? CDBJ |

1467 | ... | Phil 3:13 | CDBJ | 221126 | ||
Greetings, Can you back all of that up with chapter and verse from the Bible seeing that the “following is biblical” and factual? 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: The New Testament was originally written in Koine Greek which meant a common Greek that all Greek speaking people could understand. I speak a little English but I’ll be honest with you, I haven’t got a clue about what you have posted and how it remotely relates to the Bible!! I hate to appear dumb but could you please expatiate using Scripture as your basis? John 17:17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. CDBJ |

1468 | my sister is living a lie | Phil 3:17 | CDBJ | 176949 | ||
Greetings, Here is a web site that is helpful when it comes to cults like the JW. It exposes their way of thinking and suggests Bible verses that combat the heresy that is taught by them. http://www.letusreason.org/JWdir.htm I would just like to add; that no matter how much Scripture we proclaim or present to a person, it’s the work of the Holy Spirit that reveals truth to them and be sure and pray that they Lord will open their eyes to the truth. 2 Tim. 2:24-26 And the Lord's bond-servant must not be quarrelsome, but be kind to all, able to teach, patient when wronged, [25] with gentleness correcting those who are in opposition, if perhaps God may grant them repentance leading to the knowledge of the truth, [26] and they may come to their senses and escape from the snare of the devil, having been held captive by him to do his will. When I first believed in Christ I had a king size burden for the lost and I would Bible whip people to the point that I muddied up the water and probably did more harm then good. My first pastor pointed something out to me that took a lot of the mental anguish from me, because I assumed that if I didn’t get the gospel message into the minds of people that their fate rested in my hands, as it were. Matthew 16:13-17 Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, He began asking His disciples, saying, "Who do people say that the Son of Man is?" [14] And they said, "Some say John the Baptist; and others, Elijah; but still others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets." [15] He said to them, "But who do you say 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 to him, "Blessed are you, Simon Barjona, because flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but My Father who is in heaven. My pastor pointed this part out to me: flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but My Father who is in heaven Faith comes by hearing but God has to make it real to their experience, we can’t do it. Paul had this to say to those that had believed by his giving out the Word. 1 Cor. 3:5-7 What then is Apollos? And what is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, even as the Lord gave opportunity to each one. [6] I planted, Apollos watered, but God was causing the growth. [7] So then neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but God who causes the growth. Have a great day, CDBJ |

Greetings BBQ; Who is better off in the following verses? Luke 16:19-25 There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day: [20] And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores, [21] And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. [22] And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; [23] And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. [24] And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. [25] But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. It cracks me up how those WOF TV preacher "types" try to convince people that they can bribe God by giving a certain portion of their puny income, like God really needs it! It’s almost like saying that God is some kind of a genie and if you rub him just right he will make you extremely wealthy. It kind of shoots down grace doesn’t it? God is capable of making us all a billion dollars richer in a matter of seconds but most of us don’t have the capacity to handle it. God in his grace puts every "true believer" right where he wants him financially. Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. The key to that verse is (according to his puepose).

1470 | who are the chosen,elect, and faithfull? | Col 1:2 | CDBJ | 222032 | ||
Greetings, this agrees with your summation. This is from Revelation Commentary that is free and available on the Internet. http://www.revelationcommentary.org/ Revelation 17:14 (1) These will wage war against the Lamb, and (2) the Lamb will overcome them, because He is Lord of lords and King of kings, and (3) those who are with Him are the called and chosen and faithful. 1. These will wage war against the Lamb indicates the purpose or mind of the ten kings. They are united in their attitudes toward the Lamb. The attack of the ten kings against the Lamb is not specially detailed, but they must gather with the nations to Armageddon. 2. The Lamb will overcome them signals defeat for the ten kings and the beast. The title "Lord of lords and King of kings" is applied to the Lamb here and the rider on the white horse in Revelation 19:16. 3. Those who are with Him are the called and chosen and faithful is an unusual occurrences in the Revelation. Called (klatos) and chosen (eklektos) occur only here in the Revelation. Both words occur together in Matthew 22:14. These are clearly the saints of the ages. It is not explicitly stated what the role of the Lamb’s accomplices is. CDBJ |

1472 | In what way is Christ God's mystery? | Col 2:2 | CDBJ | 114889 | ||
Hi tortoise, The word “mystery”, as found in Col. 1:26 has an interesting etymology. Col. 1:26 Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: It comes to us from the Greek word MUSTERION, which was a word that was frequently used by those in a Greek fraternity. It meant the secrets of that special organization or group and the secrets were only known by those that were actual members of that particular organization or group known as brothers; the secrets were known but just by a select few, just like those in Christ or the saints. Only God can revel the secrets to his chosen few or the sanctified ones, saints. 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. Have a great day, CDBJ |

Isn’t it just precious to know that we have a part in all of this? Ephes. 3:9 And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ: I have been a believer for over 38 years now and it still exciting to me that I know the Lord and His fantastic Word! It's funny to me how I can meet a believer, for the first time, and after five or ten minutes with them it seems like I have known them all my life. Have a great day, CDBJ |

1474 | Verification on Charles Taze Russell | Col 2:9 | CDBJ | 82721 | ||
Friend, I would be very careful about what you say about the person of Jesus Christ if I were you. John 5:21-24 For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will. 22For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son: 23That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him. 24Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. If anyone says something that I don’t like about my son I get a little bent out of shape, I don’t thing is it too wise to refute the person and work of God’s Son and come out a winner! Have a nice day, CDBJ |

1475 | Sins Forgiven | Col 2:13 | CDBJ | 168598 | ||
Greetings, A question with regards to your answer, “when we sin we ask for forgiveness”. This statement was made right after you quoted the following verse. 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. Why would you bother to ask God for forgiveness for your sin when God already said that He would forgive it you would just “confess it”? The word “confess” or HOMOLOGEO in the Koine Greek doesn’t mean to ask for anything, it means to cite, as in a courtroom case, and own up to the guilt. It’s not necessary to ask God for something that He has already said He give us another way. The forgiveness is conditional on our owning up to the sin, not our asking God if he will forgive it. The responsibility is in our willingness to do what God says and that’s confess the sin. He God is faithful, which means He will do it every time. The way he can do this is because His Son Jesus as already paid the price that was demanded of the sin. That’s way God can be just and yet be the justifier of the one that believes in Christ! Have a great day, CDBJ |

1476 | Sins Forgiven | Col 2:13 | CDBJ | 168620 | ||
Greetings, So if I am hearing you right God will forgive us because we forgive others? Why did God have to send His Son in the first place then, if to be forgiven, all we had to do is forgive others of there sins against us? In effect, with your logic, the world didn't need a Saviour, just an attitude of forgiveness and things would be peachy keen for mankind and that would have made us acceptable in God’s sight! Am I to believe that God is actually impressed with my sincerity in my confession of sin, or the fact that His Son actually died for the sin that I’m confessing? And where on a scale of 1 to 10 does the sincerity actually kick in and count, when it comes to God forgiving me? Maybe at 4.97 the forgiveness really starts to work! Or maybe I could be highly optimistic and just assume that all I needed to do is what God says in the first place, and claim the following as being reliable and truthful. 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. Maybe, just maybe, God forgot to tell me about the sincerity part when I exercise and claim the promise of I John 1:9 I hate to appear facetious, but do you get my drift. CDBJ |

Hi WOS, Did you personally hear that sermon: just kidding? I believe the key to staying in fellowship is, Isaiah 26:3 Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. Couple this with, 1 John 1:7-8 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. [8] If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. It always pays to keep “short accounts” with God and not put off the use of I John 1:9 Even knowing all these things, oft times our old sin natures rear up their ugly heads and we need to get back in fellowship. My old sin nature thinks it’s a race driver and he really like to take control in bad traffic especially when other people do dumb stuff; says I. Yours in the Lord, CDBJ |

Proverbs 16:18 Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall. Proverbs 11:2 When pride cometh, then cometh shame: but with the lowly is wisdom. 1 Cor. 2:1-7 And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God. 2For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified. 3And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling. 4And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: 5That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God. 6Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought: 7But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: Does this make sense?

Greetings 4me; I was just trying to point out that you might not get a reply. I can’t even remember stuff that I posted a week ago let alone five years ago but then sometimes I find it helpful to look in my wallet every now and then to make sure who I am; not really. You can left click on the author of any post and get a little information about the poster, which always seems to help. When you get a chance why don’t you fill out your user info and tell us something about yourself? You will find this section on the lower left side on the Home page I hope you enjoy the forum as much as I have! 2 Tim. 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. Have fun, CDBJ x |
