381 | Weather of skies | OT general | CDBJ | 110154 | ||
Hi EdB, That is one that usually works, unless you live in Ohio. I have a sailboat on Lake Erie and have been bitten by that saying a few times. VHF radio is a little more accurate but they didn't exist when this was made popular. I think that something as dramatic as the first advent of Christ went unnoticed yet people could determine what was supposedly going to happen, weather wise, just by watching the sky. Have a great day, CDBJ |

382 | Jewish calendar? | OT general | CDBJ | 111531 | ||
Thanks Emmaus, I was trying to figure out approximately the time of year using the type and antitype theory and the date that Antiochus desecrated the temple in Jerusalem, 1st Macc. 1:57. It’s interesting that Daniel prophesied the exact same event, yet Antiochus didn’t fulfill it because Jesus said that it was yet in the future, therefore Antiochus could have been portraying a type of the Antichrist. Matthew 24:15-24 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:) 16Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains: 17Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house: 18Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes. 19And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days! 20But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day: 21For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. 22And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened. 23Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. 24For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. If one were to subtract 42 months from the 15th of Casleu it “might” give the approximate time of year that the Antichrist will make a covenant with the Jews, (A covenant with death), that he will break. Isaiah 28:18 And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it. I think we can always see where we are on God’s prophetic clock by watching Israel! Thanks again, CDBJ |

Hi Emmaus, You are right, but the one main missing ingredient, when the legions of Titus besieged Jerusalem, in AD 70, was the fact that the Romans didn’t desecrate the temple. Titus destroyed the temple but veneration by the conquerors wasn’t an issue as it will be with the antichrist. The desecration of the temple and the demanded worship of the Jew will be the key issue as expounded on further by Paul. 2 Thes. 2:3-4 Let 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. I calculate from what the antitype has shown, should it apply, that the little horn will make a pact of safety with the Jews likely sometime in the springtime in what ever year it happens, in May or June. Daniel 7:8 I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things. Rev. 13:1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. I equate these ten horns with the ten toes of the image in Daniel. Daniel 2:41-45 And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters' clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay. 42And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken. 43And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay. 44And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever. 45Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure. The last world ruler, which is the final destroyer of the Jews and God’s chosen, will be crushed by Jesus just before he sets up his final kingdom. I really enjoy eschatology and try to fit Scripture with Scripture, CDBJ |

Greetings, Is it your opinion that if one could keep all of the Ten Commandments that they would be entitled to eternal life with God? If that is the case how can it be said that Abraham had it when the Law didn’t come until four hundred and thirty years later. Galatians 3:17 And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect. Col. 2:16-17 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: 17Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ. Galatians 2:21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain. CDBJ |

What sin didn't Jesus die for? He paid for all but one sin, and that one sin is that of rejecting Jesus Christ as there Savior. Since Christ died for all our sin, the issue isn't sin, but what think yea of Christ. As long as we are still in the body of sin, even though we are saved, we will commit sins. That's why we have I John 1:9 This is a verse that keeps us in fellowship with God. As long as the person that sined in what ever way, was a true believer in Jesus they have eternal life. God knows what sins that we are going to commit after we saved and they don't come as a great shock to Him. Just because we do something dumb at a point of weakness isn't going to change God's mind about saving us! Just because we are weak does't mean that God changes His mind about saving us. Now that is real love. CDBJ | ||||||

NO we arn't in the tribulation yet, the Thessalonians thought the same thing. Paul's answer to them was I Thess. 5:1-4 The reason that we are not in darkness is because we have Matt. chap. 24 that tells of the progression. They still didn't know so he sent them II Thess. 2:1-17 | ||||||

Hello Casiv, This is a round about way to reach you but we seem to have lost contact the other day when you ask me what I was studying. I replied that I am very interested in eschatology and that I like to dig into the original languages. I lost the thread and couldn't get back. I think something must have messed up on my e-mail response or something. My question to you, that I wanted to ask is, what is your opinion on the thousand year millennium, that is mentioned in Revelation chapter 20, seeing that you hold a different idea about the binding of Satan then I do? I am interested in your comments. I might be out of line asking this on this thread but I don't know how else to make connections. There are times when I am all thumbs on this computer stuff, so please excuse me this one time gang. CDBJ | ||||||

Casiv, I have been watching these threads from a distance and I will be honest with you, I haven't got a clue sometimes what you are talking about! Some of the words that you use I can't even find in the English Hebrew or Greek. If you don't mind me asking what is Nolan's lesous and are we all supposed to have one? You also mentioned that Jehovah's witness want there "A"; is that a book, a surgical dressing or what since I know nothing of that cult. Please inform, CDBJ | ||||||

Yes, I am afraid that you have confused me a little and you may want to try again. I was under the impression that IESOUS was Greek for Jesus. The, "A" that you described that the JHVH witnesses use in their bible, is translated (THE) in the KJV of the Bible and it is not a verb in the Greek, but a DETERMINER. It is the nominative, masculine, singular of the Greek word HO; it is an article in the English. Actually in the Greek language the absence of the definite article would put more emphasis on the verb, in the English it is just the opposite. I think if my memory serves me right, that the transitive verb gives all the credit to the object. It is the participle that describes its subject as a doer of the action denoted by the verb and the action of the aorist participle always precedes the action of the main verb, or something like that anyway the Koine Greek actually says that God was the Word. The English language turns everything around! Theos en ho logos. CDBJ |

Hi Tim, Yes, since you mention it I do remember the Grandville Sharp rule. Thanks for the come back. Some times people seem to spend more time trying to explain away God's word instead of just believing it! There are a lot of translations out there. Sometimes for enjoyment I just like to sit down and read the Living Bible. It's not the best but it can sure be a blessing to those that aren't in to the meat of God's word or new believers. I just sent a copy to my eighty two year old uncle. He was a B-24 pilot in world war two and has been very bitter toward God as a result of a lot of very close friends that he lost. His father was a believer and loved Jesus very much, and would witness to my uncle a lot. This was my grandfather who died of Alzheimer's disease. His terrible dying tour my uncle up, that God would do such a thing to one of His own. I hadn't believed on the Lord until twenty years after his death. Anyway to make a long short my uncle is an agnostic. Every time my wife and I would take the one hundred mile trip over to visit my aunt and uncle, I would always find a way to talk to him about the Lord. He was always very bitter and negative toward anything I had to say about the Bible. This last time we went over was just before Thanksgiving and he was in a nursing home, my aunt has been living by herself for about six months and has not been able to bring him home in that period. I was able to bring him home for the day since I am strong enough to handle him. When I got him home he got big tears in his eyes and said that he never expected to see his home again. When I took him back to the nursing home later that day I told him how much I loved him and I gave him a big hug and a kiss. I didn't mention the Lord or the Bible on this trip at all but right out of a clear blue sky he ask me if I could get him a copy of the New Testament in large print; he said, oh well what do I know anyway! I went out of that place crying and praising the Lord. Needless to say I got him a copy of the Living Bible in giant print. I have been on my knees before the Lord praying that He would reveal the truth of Jesus to him. I sent the Bible by priority mail with a note that said, read the book of John and ask God to show you the truth of his word and I sure hope you believe God's word so you can be in on best family reunion in history. CDBJ P.S. any prayers for him would be highly appreciated; I don't think he has very long to go. |

Hi Lisa, I have some great news for you about your post. (Oh how I would LOVE if we could actually be Universal Christians.) All of the (true) believers in Jesus Christ are universal Christians! God is building his church, and it is not an organization but an organism. Every member of this church has heaven assured. You will find that the members of this elite group don't place emphases on a particular denomination they just lift up the Lord Jesus Christ and what He did for them. God has assured each of them eternal life buy giving them the down payment, His Holy Spirit. Those that aren't members of this group yet, can't say with absolute assurance that they will go to heaven. Sins are no longer the issue with this group because Jesus has paid for all their sins, past present and future. The only thing that sin does is it knocks them out of fellowship, and believe me that makes them miserable until fellowship is restored by the function of I John 1:9. True Christianity is not a religion but a relationship with God through His Son Jesus Christ. All of the ones that have this relationship have been baptized and water wasn't even involved. Ephes. 4:5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism, Did you know that all water baptisms are just ritual? The dry baptisms are the real ones that count. Every one that has ever lived on this Earth is going to receive a real baptism and it is Jesus Christ that is going to do it. There are only two real baptisms, one for those that are completely trusting in Jesus for salvation and those that aren't and the later grope takes in all of the religions of the world. Matthew 3:11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire: The baptism with the Holy Ghost is once saved always saved and it has to be obtained on this side of the grave. The other option takes place if one does not completely trust in God's provision for salvation, His Son Jesus Christ. My wife was a Roman Catholic and I was a protestant and we were both lost. There was a point in my life when I turned to the Lord and called on Him to reveal the truth of His word to me I didn't know what religion was right, let alone what church. I just prayed and ask for His help. I started reading the only Bible that we had, which was my wife's, and from that time on God's word absolutely came alive to me. I gave up every thing that I was hoping would get me to heaven and turned to Jesus and what He had already done; I put as it were all my eggs in one basket and trusted in Christ completely. When I did this God revealed to me, from His word, that I had eternal life right here and now and I couldn't lose it! I didn't do anything to get it and I couldn't do anything to lose it; it all depended on Jesus and he never fails. There wasn't any sin that could condemn me because my Savior paid for all of them. I was so happy that I could scream; this was the most fantastic news that I had ever heard in my entire life and I wanted everyone to see it. The problem was now, everyone thought that I was nuts. Then I remembered the verse of scripture that says the only way a person can understand what I had found in Jesus would be if God himself would reveal it to them and this would be how He would build His Church. So you see all true believers are universal Christians but not all (so called) Christians are truly trusting in Jesus Christ for their salvation. Matthew 7:22-23 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? 23And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. Religion is man by man's efforts or works trying to gain God's approval. True Christianity is God doing all the work, and man just accepts it by faith and as a result God give those that completely trust in Jesus, eternal life as a free gift. In Christianity God gets all the credit and praise. So now Lisa you see where I stand. I don't want to be a protestant a catholic or and anything. I just want to tell everyone about my precious Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and what He did for them on the cross! So that they will drop all of the denomination stuff and Christ will save them.

Lisa, Lisa, it sounds to me like you are still trying to exult the Catholic Church. Why don't you just let go and lift up Jesus. The Catholic religion hasn't and can't do a thing for you anymore than any organization can do anything for anyone. Paul had the same problem with the Jews of his time. Romans 10:1-5 Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. 2For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. 3For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. 4For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth. My wife had the problem of not wanting to let go of her Catholic faith but once she did God revealed truth to her and now she can't understand how she believed what was drummed in to her for all those years. Until a person puts all their trust in Jesus, and that has to be 100 percent, they won't receive the gift of God. Do you know what it means to repent and believe? If you use the word sorrow in the answer you are still thinking Catholicism. I am just trying to help and I have nothing to gain. CDBJ |

Hi Norrie, prayer and giving people the word is all that we can do. A person's will is what the problem is because God does not over power their will when it comes to salvation. We know this because of two verses. 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. The lord isn't willing yet many are going to destruction. Mathew 7:13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: People are not willing to put ALL their faith in Jesus for eternal life; they like to hang on to their denominations and other little security blankets that they have. There are many that talk the talk and use most of the vernacular but they are missing the key ingredient. That key ingredient is faith. The Greek word for faith says so much more then the word faith in the English. It is more then just believe or faith, in the Greek. I think the story that best portrays it is the story of a famous tight wirewalker that walked over Niagara Falls. As the story goes he walked over the falls, and then came back and ask if everyone believed that he could go across with a load of rocks in a wheelbarrow with the tire removed? The all said that they believed in him that he could do it. He went over and back with no problems. He then asked, when he returned, do you believe that I could take a person across in the wheelbarrow? They all clapped and said that they believed in him that he could do it. He then said OK, would someone please get in the wheelbarrow; nobody moved! Getting in the wheelbarrow is what the Bible means by believe in Jesus Christ. All we can do is trust in the one that is doing all the work, Jesus; and sit real still and have faith in him. No denomination, no works, no this that or the other thing just complete trust in the one taking us across the span of this life into eternity. Catholics and a lot of protestant are not willing to commit their salvation to Christ in complete trust. They want to do something even if it is something that sounds biblical like being baptized, joining a church or going forward in a Billy Graham crusade. I ask a person one time how they knew that they were saved. They said that they knew they were saved because they went forward in a church service. As soon as someone tries to do something for salvation it is works and God won't give them the gift of eternal life. It's like getting a free ride on a jet plane and the person wants to help, so they decide to get out and push. There are a lot of make believe Christians out there. The Lord even gave a parable about them called the wheat and the tares. Matthew 13:24-30 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field: 25But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. 26But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. 27So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares? 28He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up? 29But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. 30Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn. Keep giving out the Word, CDBJ |

This is like beating a dead horse but one more time for you. What sin didn't Jesus die for? Right, the only one that He didn't die for was rejecting Him as personal savior. Since Jesus died on the cross for all sin, sin isn't the issue now; that's called the gospel or good news. The issue now is, what will you do with God's Son, will you believe on Him or reject Him? What is a life of sin? I am still stuck with an old sin nature and I try to do the best I can but I still sin because I don't measure up to God's Holyness untill He gives me my new body. Since I believed in Jesus as my Lord and Savior I have two natures. When the old nature is in control God is grieved. God is not controling my life at that time, because of some dumb sin that I commit but He said that He would never leave me of forsake me. 1 John 2:2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. Take it or leave it! |

Hi Joe, we haven't crossed threads for a while. It is interesting to note how God the Holy Spirit works through the Word of God, in the Bible, to bring us to life in the spirit. I think that is why born again believers, as it were, get so down on the teachings of Catholicism. It seems that so much time is spent on ritual and not the exegesis of scripture, which can cause one's spirit to come to life. James talks about the Bible or the Word of God as though it is a type of sperm. The person receiving it can actually be impregnated by God's word. James 1:21 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls. The word engrafted is the Greek word EMPHUTOS and it carries the implication of germination. James brings this further to light in verse 18 with the word (begat). James 1:18 Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures. The word begat is the indicative, aorist, active of APOKUEO. The indicative is the mood of reality, the aorist tense say it occurred in a point of time, when we believe God's Word and the active voice tells us that the subject produces the action. Praise the Lord what a process!! Peter backs this up as well. 1 Peter 1:23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. Time spent in any church service, if it is not giving praise or reflection sure needs to be spent on the exegesis of God's Word. 2 Tim. 4:2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. I was teaching a home Bible study one day and a couple of Catholic priest showed up; I think they must have been in their mid fifties or so and I was in my thirties. I did a lot of silent praying that the Lord would keep me on track as they made me more then a little nervous. There were about 35 people in all that attended the study. Someone said that one of them was a relative of a lady that often came. I set the ground rules before I started, that it was to be a Bible study and not a religious study and that everything would have to come from Scripture. Well everything went fine during the course of the study I even ask them several pertinent questions. I must admit that before the study was over I kind of felt sorry for them because they had a very limited knowledge of the Bible but then again I have found the same to be true of some liberal protestant ministers. The following verses in Matthew hit me like a ton of bricks after that study was over and I wish that I could have said more because those poor fellows had no assurance at all that they could have eternal life, and know it, on this side of the grave. Matthew 7:15-23 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. 16Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? 17Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. 18A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. 19Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. 20Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. 21Not 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.

Hi Tim, I didn't see John 16:7-9 on your list, which is one of my favorites to show that our sins are not the issue anymore because Jesus paid for all the sins of the whole world, past, present and future. The issue for the world now is what do you think of Christ; which is the work of Holy Spirit in convicting the world. The only thing that can condemn a person to hell isn't their sins, but not believing in God's Christ, Jesus. That was why Jesus could say, in Matt 16, to Peter that he was blessed because God had revealed this to him. Thus the sins of everyone in the world have been taken care of except the one of unbelief in Jesus; to this Jesus says to all, come unto me. What do you think, CDBJ |

You are right about John liking the word believe, he used it in one form or the other 92 times, but check out his use of the word faith, it surprised me; they both come from the same Greek root word PISTEUO or PISTIS yet the lack of the use use of the word faith is a real surprise. | ||||||
