261 | what is baptism | Bible general Archive 1 | CDBJ | 26733 | ||
Hi Tim, I sure get bent out of shape sometimes when people hash over the same things all the time, like baptism etc. Right after I sent you the last post the Lord clobbered me with Hebrews 6:1-3 with emphasis on verse 3. Hebrews 6:1-3 Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, 2Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. 3And this will we do, if God permit. I stand corrected. CDBJ |

I don't what translation of the Bible you are using but the one that I have has a verse in Matthew that say just the opposite of what you are telling me. Matthew 25:31-41 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: 32And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: 33And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. 34Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: 35For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: 36Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. 37Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? 38When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? 39Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? 40And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. 41Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: |

I am a new comer to this post and I would like for you to count out the three nights that Jesus spent in the heart of the Earth. I can go along with the three day because to the Jews any part of a day is considered a whole day, but I can't figure out the night part at all; unless the ref. to the time spent in the Earth wasn't supposed to be the emphasis but something that is obscure but similar to what Jonah did. Clue me in, CDBJ | ||||||

There are a lot of people that are going to get a big surprise if they are left behind and counting on what that unscriptural book of Tim L. says. 2 Cor. 6:2 (For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.) This doesn't mean after the rapture!!! What do you think, CDBJ |

Hecameforu,you have it more twisted around then benjamite. Without going into details get a copy of the book that Makarios mentioned, The Rapture Question Answered plain and simple By Robert Van Kampen It is with out a doubt the most informative book that I have ever read on the subject of end time events, and believe me I have read stacks of them. |

Sorry Nolan, when I see the word Makarios the only thing that comes out of that old computer on my neck is the word blessed. I am reading in English and trying to think in the Greek. By the way how do you like the progress being made on the commentary on the book of Revelation? CDBJ | ||||||

Could you please explain all of this? Starting with Ecc.12:12. I was always under the impression that the Bible was a combination of some 66 books; or are we not to use those after Ecc. Just kidding, and yes I am wearing out faster then I would like to admit. Hang loose Barry, don't get so uptight; I'm not attacking you maybe it's your conscience that bothering you. I am in a great mood today it must be the Centrum Silver or something actually Paul was accused of too much studying at one point. Acts 26:24-26 And as he thus made his defense, Festus saith with a loud voice, Paul, thou art mad; thy much learning is turning thee mad. 25But Paul saith, I am not mad, most excellent Festus; but speak forth words of truth and soberness. 26For the king knoweth of these things, unto whom also I speak freely: for I am persuaded that none of these things is hidden from him; for this hath not been done in a corner. I have found that a person can learn more if he doesn't push the envelope to the point where he is no longer flexible. If you think that I stepped on your toes I am sorry. Yours in Christ, CDBJ |

I think I must have bent Berry out of shape a little bit with my last thread to him, I hope he doesn't take it personal. Sometimes I put my mouth in gear before my brain is in motion but I sure don't mean anything by it. After the bout that I had with Hank about a century or so ago it has made me a little gun-shy. It seems like the only time that I open my mouth anymore it's just to change feet. Say did you catch the article the other day on Mahatma Gandhi? They say that he walked barefoot most of the time, which produced an impressive set of calluses on his feet. He also ate very little, which made him rather frail, and with the odd diet, he suffered from bad breath. He acquired a real handle as a result. A super callused fragile mystic hexed by halitosis. Is that bad or what, CDBJ |

The answer to your question Revelation 6:16,17 Rev. 6:16-17 and they say to the mountains and to the rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: 17for the great day of their wrath is come; and who is able to stand? Notice that in Joel the word BEFORE the great and awesome day of the Lord. Everything that has taken place up to now in Rev. 6 has not been from the Lord. The tribulation up to this point has not been the Lord wrath but that of the adversary! Jesus backs this up with Matt. Chp.24 and Paul says the same thing in II Thess. 1:7-11 2 Thes. 1:7-11 and to you that are afflicted rest with us, at the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven with the angels of his power in flaming fire, 8rendering vengeance to them that know not God, and to them that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus: 9who shall suffer punishment, even eternal destruction from the face of the Lord and from the glory of his might, 10when he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be marvelled at in all them that believed (because our testimony unto you was believed) in that day. Did you catch the time period in verse 10 (WHEN) The rapture of Christ church and God's wrath on those that are left behind is all going to happen on the very same day! Just like it did in the days of Noah and Lot. Significantly, Joel 2:31 places an important time marker in relationship to these events. Joel declares, The sun will be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and awesome day of the Lord comes. Any and everyone who attempts to make the sign that initiates the Day of the Lord and Day of the Lord equal must violate this verse. Joel is clear: the sign occurs before the Day of the Lord comes. Whatever else the first four seals are, they are not a part of the eschatological wrath of God, a fact to be substantiated later. 3. The second significant portion of the sixth seal is the response of those who dwell upon the earth in Revelation 6:14-17. 3a. Kings…the great men…the commanders…the rich…the strong…every slave…free man John lists a very broad cross section of humanity who respond to the sign that signals the imminent outbreak of the wrath of God. This list is intended to show that all unbelievers living on the earth at this time are the subjects of the coming wrath. Revelation 19:18-19 indicates that these are the very groups God shall sacrifice to the birds at His great supper. 3b. Hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains this phrase indicates that the wide circle of humanity recognizes the import of these signs. This supports our claim that the mountains and islands do not disappear at this point, but move out of their original locations. Notice, they hid themselves, which is past tense. These people are in the caves and mountains. 3c. They said to the mountains and to the rocks indicates that the wicked desire death. 3d. Fall on us and hide us this phrase is a bit strange. Perhaps, the strangeness of this verse demonstrates the level of fear the wicked are experiencing at this point. Death is not the immediate goal of the wicked at this point. Obviously, if the mountain falls on them, they will die, but they request not only to die, but also to be hidden from the sight of God. This suggests that the presence of God is beyond human appreciation unless man is holy. A wicked man in the presence of a holy God is beyond human tolerance. To be dead is not enough. To merely commit suicide is not enough. For the wicked, even to be dead in the presence of a holy God is not enough. They want to be buried. They want to be out of sight. 3e. From the presence of Him who sits on the throne is a clear reference to God the Father. Throughout the book of Revelation, and in this context (notice the Lamb), God the Father is seated on the throne. Some argue that the presence of Him who sits on the throne is a roundabout way of referring to God the Father without mentioning His name directly. Who is seated is not an issue! For this author, we are more interested in what is seen by the wicked. Isaiah 2:19 states, And men will go into caves of the rocks, and into holes of the ground before the terror of the Lord, and before the splendor of His majesty, when He arises to make the earth tremble. The terror of the Lord and the splendor of His majesty may refer to the glory of God. Peter declares in his second letter that Jesus, received honor and glory from God the Father…the Majestic Glory…. Job 13:11 records, Will not His majesty terrify you, and the dread of Him fall on you? The point is this: there is going to be a manifestation of God the Father at this event. It will involve His glory, which might be depicted through a great throne since God is invisible. This is a two part answer if you want the rest let me know. CDBJ |

I take it that you don't believe in Ephes. 4:11-12 And he gave some to be apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 12for the perfecting of the saints, unto the work of ministering, unto the building up of the body of Christ: If you don't need help from other as this statement from Eph. clearly shows, you are the smartest person on this forum. Just be careful friend remember Proverbs 11:2 When pride cometh, then cometh shame; But with the lowly is wisdom. This is the last part to your question if you want it. 3f. From the wrath of the Lamb is the second object of terror for the wicked who seek death and burial as an escape. It is clear that the Lamb is Jesus Christ, the second member of the Trinity. With the Lamb is connected wrath. This is the first explicit usage of the term wrath in the book of Revelation. That it is connected with the Lamb should not be taken lightly. Jesus is the eschatological Judge (John 5:27, Acts 10:42 and Daniel 7:13-14). He executes the Father's wishes. 3g. For indicates the reason for the conduct of the wicked. The reason the wicked call upon the mountains and the rocks to kill and bury them is because of the great day of wrath initiated by the cataclysms. 3h. Great day of their (His) wrath has come is an important clause for several reasons. However, before we look at the significance of the complete clause, the reader may be aware of a slight difference in wording of this verse in different translations. Their verses His wrath is an ongoing discussion. One cannot be dogmatic either way. There is no theological difference regardless of the adopted reading. The Lord Jesus clearly states that He and the Father are one in ever way important. Therefore, His wrath is their wrath and their wrath is His wrath. The context clearly identifies this day as the eschatological Day of the Lord, which in the Old Testament is God the Father's day of wrath. However, in the New Testament, the term Lord comes to represent Jesus as well (Acts 2:36). Therefore, the Day of the Lord is both Jesus' and the Father's eschatological wrath. Has come properly translates the grammatical construction, but the sense of the Greek verb is missing. The Greek suggests the sense is about to come. The emphasis is on the initiation of the action. This fits well with the question of the Martyrs in the fifth seal. The fifth seal requests the coming of the wrath of God. The sixth seal announces the impending or imminent arrival of the wrath of God and the seventh seal demonstrates the wrath of God. 3i. Who is able to stand? This rhetorical question demands an answer, which is no one! There is no wicked person able to stand up against the wrath of God. From Revelation Commentary, www.revelationcommentary.

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: 17That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works. This is what I go by, but as with many, sometimes we suffer from a paradigm paralysis. I was a staunch pretribulationist for over thirty two years until I was taught that the scripture says something different. I was almost to the point that I couldn't see the forest for the trees. When I finally unscrewed my head enough to let a different thought in everything fell into place, but if a person is so dead set on trying to see it all one way the truth can almost jump up and bite them and they won't be able to see it. The book that cleared it up for me was the one already mentioned, The Rapture Question Answered. But like Burger King, Have it your way! I would hate to see someone confused by the facts! There are many on this forum that could tell you the same story. CDBJ |

Not according to what the Bible says must happen first if we are to take the Bible at face value. The doctrine of the immense of the rapture is a mystery doctrine without Biblical backing, it is the wishful thinking are the part of some that have twister scripture around to fit a hopeful desire. I would like for it to be so but God has designated other plans that will test our faith to the limit. James 1:3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. 2 Thes. 2:1-11 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, 2That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. 3Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 4Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. 5Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? 6And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. 7For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. 8And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: 9Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 10And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: Matthew 24:13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

276 | define repentance | Bible general Archive 1 | CDBJ | 35517 | ||
1 John 1:7-9 but if we walk in the light as He Himself is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin. The word walk is a great word in the Greek PERIPATEO, it is one foot out in front at a time. If you try to stop with one foot up in the air while you are moving it will through you off balance. When we get off balance and sin then we need the rest of the I John 1:9 1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Repentance has two objects one for the unbeliever and one for the believer. The risen living Word for the unbeliever and the living written Word for the believer. Revelation 3:20 is for the believer or child the God is trying to get his act back together. Rev. 3:19-20 As 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. We try to do our best but we still have the old sin nature along with our new nature. Romans 7:24-25 O 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. Won't it be nice when this is over and we are out of here! CDBJ |

277 | Who can refute reasoning? | Bible general Archive 1 | CDBJ | 37061 | ||
I want to thank you for your intellectual response to my question! The purpose of the question was to stimulate the futile thinking of those that hold to the views that were mentioned. I don't suppose that you even gave that a thought since you were so busy thinking up Scripture to add to your comment as a rebuttal. I would assume that the question probable stepped on your toes since you likely hold to one of the views mentioned; to come back with such a response as, where are you; that must to be a classic for sure? When you reach the right age and if you ever think of going to law school at night don't give up your day job! James 5:20 Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins. I hope that someone got something from the post. CDBJ |

Hi Zach, we all make mistakes or we wouldn't be here; please don't quite on the forum I enjoy your post, try to look at it like Paul would. Philip. 3:13-14 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, 14I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Stick in there you will be the better for it, forget it and move on. If you quit on us that will be a feather in the enemy's hat, he loves to neutralize us in all that we do. We all make mistakes but please don't let the adversary compound it! I am usually the one on the forum that puts my mouth in motion before my brain is in gear; so don't feel like you are the first one!! There are times when I only open my mouth to change feet. We love you in the Lord, CDBJ |

279 | Is our dress a reflection of our heart? | Bible general Archive 1 | CDBJ | 39121 | ||
We have five services on Sunday the last one is for those that want to be casual in dress so no one feels out of place. My wife and I have been going to Sunday school class in the morning then back in the evening because the service right after our class in the morning is packed to the point that there is standing room only. I hope all went well with your son, even though we are believers in the World we are not exempt from the diseases that have come about as a result of sin. My son's bald head was self inflected, he went to basic training between his junior and senior year of high school. He came home from boot camp just before school started with his head shaved and loved it from then on, oh well. He was the only senior in the school that had been through basic training plus he had a black belt in karate so no one said much about the baldhead. |
