1521 | Why is the Catholic bible different? | 2 Tim 3:16 | CDBJ | 183860 | ||
Greetings, Are you suggesting that the Torah is inaccurate, since the Jewish Scribes rejected all of the writings of the Apocrypha? You suggest that the following verses were directed toward the Catholic Church since you stated. “The early Catholic Church, guided by the Holy Spirit (Jn 14:26, 16:13 Acts 2:1-5) complied a canon of writings which, through the guidance of the Spirit, they deemed inspired” It takes a real vivid imagination to construct “any” denomination from the word “you”, as used in the passages you suggested. John 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. John 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. Acts 2:1-5 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. 2And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. 3And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. 4And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. 5And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven. I have always been under the impression that the word, “you”, was a personal pronoun? The Holy Spirit directs “individuals” that have put their “total faith” in the finished work of the Son of God, Jesus, not collective denominations. Christ is building His own church, apart from any denomination, and all of the members are a part of that one body and Christ is the head. Those that put their faith and hope in “any particular denomination” are going to have a rude awakening as soon as they take their last breath! 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. 22Many 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? 23And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. Faith in Jesus isn’t a religious or denominational issue; it’s a relationship matter and the word “believe” needs clarification in order to be truly effective. Have a good day, CDBJ |

1522 | Where I can find documentation | 2 Tim 3:16 | CDBJ | 183914 | ||
Hi stjames, That’s very interesting but it appears that there is some sort of a contradiction at work here. You suggest that you are saved by something you have done, namely baptism and taking the Eucharist yet on top of all this you claim the following. You believe you can loose this salvation since you suggested the following, “Absolutely, through sin.” From your answer, it “doesn’t appear” as though you have acquired God’s “everlasting salvation” as of yet. Although you do have something that very closely mimics God’s eternal salvation, except what you have is perpetuated by and sustained by you, instead of God, because you believe you can loose it. I see a vast difference at work here that looks like a compromise between a religion at work and relationship that’s already completed. Just what sin is it that you think you could commit that would cause a person, which is a child of God, to loose their salvation; once they have been born into God’s family? It could only be a sin that Jesus neglected to pay for when He was on the cross; and to think such a thing would be the height of personal arrogance! The salvation that God gives us is based on His character and mercy not our puny works of “self” righteousness. God’s underserved mercy in action is called grace; it’s unearned and undeserved. We are only right in God’s site when we place our “entire hope and faith” in what the Son did for us on the cross; not some superficial sanctimonious function that takes place in a church service. Ephes. 2:8-9 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9Not of works, lest any man should boast. 1. As a child of God, through FAITH, in the person of Jesus Christ, God has saved me from the penalty of sin. God’s work is eternal not something that I do and can lose. 2. As I live my life in time, taking in Bible doctrine while under the controlling influence of God’s Holy Spirit; who was given to me as a seal. This happened the moment “I put “all of my faith” in God’s Son, Jesus Christ: from then on God is at work delivering me from the power of sin in my life. 3. At the point of the death of my body or the rapture, which ever occurs first, I will be delivered from the very presence of sin. It’s all a work of God and He gets all the credit!! I can’t gain any points with God because of anything I deem respectful, God is only impressed with the work that His Son did and it’s all a grace operation. 1 John 5:13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. God’s work plus man efforts equal Lost for ever. God does all the work and God get all the credit! 2 Cor. 5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. CDBJ |

1523 | once saved always saved? | 2 Tim 4:18 | CDBJ | 129002 | ||
Hello Hank, How could I add anything to that marvelous post! All I can say about Eternal Security is that I feel for those that don’t have it yet! I’m sure glad that it depends on the Lord and not on me to maintain it because while I am still in “this” body I can make mistakes but my Savior sure doesn’t and I have been placed in Him positionally until such time as he calls me home. Though my home dwelling may change, my position is Christ can never be improved on, no matter how many years go by; be it one day or one million years I can never improve my position in Christ because it is totally provided by the grace and love of God. 2 Cor. 5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. Ephes. 2:6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: Just because we can’t see it doesn’t mean that it hasn’t happened yet; God says it has happened and it’s over and done with! Know this, all in Christ can all have a great day, CDBJ |

1524 | 3 things that are a must for ministers | Titus 1:7 | CDBJ | 22149 | ||
There are many who say that they are called of God to be a minister but don't you think that number one should be that they should be born again of the Spirit? That would knock out more then half of them right off the bat!!! | ||||||
1525 | 3 things that are a must for ministers | Titus 1:7 | CDBJ | 22425 | ||
The problem is that those that aren't born of the Spirit don't know that they are not. They don't miss something that they have never had before! They sure don't know what they are missing!! |

Greetings, REF. Acts 20:28 The church of the Lord would be wrong because the word in the Koine Greek is THEOU which is God. the word for Lord, Kurios isn't used in the passage. CDBJ |

1527 | Christologically Pregnant Passages | Titus 2:13 | CDBJ | 216666 | ||
The reference mentioned, "blood of his own son" isn't the implication here because the word used comes from the word IDIOU an adjective which is in the genetive, neuter, singular. The genetive is that of source, i.e. is God and if it ment the Son it would be masculine gender but it's in the neuter. CDBJ |

1528 | Christologically Pregnant Passages | Titus 2:13 | CDBJ | 216685 | ||
Hi Tim, All I am saying is that it couldn’t be the word Son; the Greek Interlinear points out the Koine IDIOU which could refer to The Lord or God. The poster suggested "blood of his own son". If the word Son were to be used in place of God or Lord in the English it would have to have been translated from HUIOS which would be in the masculine gender but it is in the neuter gender of EDIOU or Him self which in essence has to infer that the blood was that of Christ and as a result Jesus Christ is God since God doesn't have blood as God but when God took on the form of a man He then had blood and was able to pay the price demanded for our sin. Hebrews 9:22 And according to the Law, one may almost say, all things are cleansed with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no forgiveness. CDBJ |

1529 | Spurgeon on Regeneration | Titus 3:5 | CDBJ | 142234 | ||
Hi Doc, While reading your post I remembered the story about the atheist who set out to compose a book about the resurrection of Christ that it was a hoax. After gathering all of his evidence he became a believer in Jesus and they book ended up showing that the resurrection actually occurred, just like the Bible says it did, and that Jesus is alive from the dead by legal judicial evidence. I thought that was interesting, now if I could just remember the guys name we could probably look it up on the internet! I would like to read the story if anyone can give me a little help with the name; there’s bound to be someone on the forum that can recall the incident! Help, CDBJ |

1531 | Does the bible support reincarnation | Titus 3:5 | CDBJ | 168727 | ||
Hi Edd, Since you already knew the answer to your own question, as you have stated in the following verse, why did you bother asking? 2 Tim. 2:16 But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness. Here is a question that only you have the right answer. Q. Have you personally come to the place yet in your biblical knowledge where you can say for certain that you have eternal life? 1 John 5:13 These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, in order that you may know that you have eternal life. CDBJ |

Hello Edd, It’s obvious that you have avoided answering my simple question directed toward you and have established a presidency now with another forum member; that of which I will follow. 1 Peter 3:15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear: Sorry to have bothered you, have a good day, CDBJ |

1533 | searching for the truth | Philem 1:6 | CDBJ | 164797 | ||
Hello Barabbas, You say,” I feel that God calls us to himself.” Can we really trust your feelings, as being truth. That is good information, but is that your idea or is there Someone more Substantial that can guarantee that information works? What one says carries more influence if what they are forwarding is the Lord’s Word: by using chapter and verse it takes you out of the picture and carries authority. 2 Tim. 3:16-17 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: [17] That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works. A subtle hint; try to back up everything that you say with Scripture; that way it has authority, if you get my drift? Psalm 119:160 The sum of Thy word is truth, And every one of Thy righteous ordinances is everlasting. John 17:17 "Sanctify them in the truth; Thy word is truth. Romans 10:17 So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ. Have a great day, CDBJ |

1534 | searching for the truth | Philem 1:6 | CDBJ | 164860 | ||
Hi Barabbas, I guess in my previous post to you I neglected to convey my point. I wasn’t suggesting that what you said was wrong with regards to God calling us to himself. I don’t “feel” that God calls us to himself, I “know” for a fact that God calls us to himself. Romans 8:29-30 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. [30] Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified. I am saying that it isn’t right just because “I feel it”; it’s “fact” because “God proclaims it”, in his Word. Oh well, I think we are on the same page. By the way, how did you arrive at the name Barabbas as your forum name? Mark 15:7 And there was one named Barabbas, which lay bound with them that had made insurrection with him, who had committed murder in the insurrection. John 18:40 Then cried they all again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber. ----- While suppressing an uprising in Jerusalem, the Roman authorities had arrested Barabbas (from Bar Abba, “son of the father”), a notorious freedom fighter, robber (John 18:40), and murderer, along with other insurrectionists. He may have been a Zealot, a nationalist who stirred up opposition against Rome. Now he was awaiting execution. ------ Bible Knowledge Commentary ------ No connection I surmise, just kidding, CDBJ |

1535 | Can I trust this Pastor? | Hebrews | CDBJ | 16845 | ||
You find a church that is a good Bible teaching church. The best way to know is to read the Bible your self every day, starting with the book of Matt, through Rev. at least 3 times before you go to the Old Testament. That way if something comes up that you are not sure of, you will know where the answers are. The Bible says that we have many teachers. The most important thing that I can tell you is this, before you read God’s Word , take time to pray and confess any known sin in your life (I John 1:9) and then ask God to give you wisdom concerning His word and understanding. Never try to establish doctrin until you have studied all the verses on a particular subject. Remember II Timothy 3:16 and II Timothy 2:15 I hope this helps CDBJ |

1536 | Can I trust this Pastor? | Hebrews | CDBJ | 16927 | ||
Jensen, I spent 17 years with out a home church. My wife and I would listen to Doctrinal Bible studies daily that were on tapes. The pastor on the tapes is one of the foremost Greek and Hebrew teachers in the country. I did more studying at that time then most pastors. If you are interested I can give you the names of several very sound sources that have free tapes. Contact me on my net address that is listed on my personal profile. CDBJ | ||||||
1537 | When may a church compromise the Bible? | Hebrews | CDBJ | 19098 | ||
Ed, I am a new comer to this thread and some of these comments have me a little at odds. Some of the things that you mention, and they are far too numerous for me to list all, I would like to know more about. Just taking the first part of your comment for starters, you say that these T.V. individuals spoke of Jesus going to hell and Satan and his demons tormented him. Could you please elaborate on this and show me where the verses are that tell of this encounter with Satan and his demons. I am getting up in years and I forget some thing, so could you please with God's Word, point me to these verses and explain this point. Yours in Christ, CDBJ | ||||||
1538 | When may a church compromise the Bible? | Hebrews | CDBJ | 19149 | ||
EdB, I am glad to hear that you don't believe all of that! There are a lot of loving believers out there that take in all that stuff they hear on T.V. and don't even question it. Some have been convinced that Satan is running around with a red epidermis, with horns on his head and a trident in his hand. There are scads of so-called Bible preachers that work on people's emotions and believer's tender hearts. Most of the ones that follow after them don't have enough Bible doctrine to come in out of the rain, what a shame. When I ask a person about their comments on a post I try to walk easy with them because I don't always know where they are coming from, except one time when I really lost my cool. After I responded, and my comments were sent, it was too late to bring them back. I felt so bad about the things that I said, but the die was cast. The Lord took me to the woodshed on that one and I was dead wrong by the way that I responded to them. I don't even remember who it was now, but I sure remember the spanking I got. I'm on another post with a person that is so sure the one can't be saved unless they are baptized in water. Well all I can say is that I am glad that he didn't find the Lord as an astronaut on a fatal mission someplace in space, the frustration would have killed him. Yours in Christ, CDBJ | ||||||
1539 | Proof that J.C.is the Messiah to Jews'? | Hebrews | CDBJ | 26856 | ||

1540 | Hebrews 6:6 explained | Hebrews | CDBJ | 45034 | ||
Hi Joe, I don't want to get between you and Tim because I might get hurt but I sure enjoy the tough man bouts. In my estimation the answer to your little play on words is as follows. 1.All the sins of all men. 2.All the sins of some men, or 3.Some of the sins of all men. Christ died for the sins of the world, plural, but he didn't die for the sin of the world, singular. The sin of the world is the rejection of Christ and that is what the Holy Spirit works on. John 16:8-9 (KJV) And 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 is not to be confused with the sin of Adam, but the sin of the world, which is the rejection of God's only Son. OK now you two can go back at it, CDBJ |
