501 | Explanation of Genesis 6:1-6 | Genesis | CDBJ | 127932 | ||
Hi tgc, I can safely say, with all certainty, that the topic that you have elaborated on is one, if not the most, talked about subject on the forum, if my memory serves me right. I can remember hashing over the original language in the Hebrew for hours trying to prove certain aspects of Genesis 6:1-6 and namely verse 4 in particular. We have to remember that, nothing in the Word of God is discovered, it’s revealed. 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. By doing a search of the verse from the home page you could likely find all that I have reiterated on over the past few years and I am still not sure of all the truth contained within those verses. I would like to point out one thing and that is the following. Psalm 119:160 ASV The sum of thy word is truth; And every one of thy righteous ordinances endureth for ever. In essence, all of the verses on any given Bible doctrine must be considered to establish truth and none will be contradicted; a common denominator will, as it were, be established where all the verses make sense. Have a great day, CDBJ |

503 | The GAP theory could be true. | Genesis | CDBJ | 177525 | ||
Greetings John and I too would like welcome you to the forum. I decided to drop the issue with regards to the “Gap theory” because it was raising too many problems on the forum and I didn’t want to cause a problem whereby one might stumble. 1 Cor. 8:13 Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to offend. Getting the message out about Christ is my main objective: if something stands in the way of that objective I stop and regroup. I would rather win a soul to the Lord then win a debate over a verse of Scripture that I can't utterly prove with Scripture in the first place. Have a great day, CDBJ |

504 | The GAP theory could be true. | Genesis | CDBJ | 177579 | ||
Hi Doc, I agree with you and it sure isn't an issue worth losing any sleep over, at least from my point of view and five years later! There is nothing like digging up old laundry and airing it out. It looks like I’m still trying to put the cat back in the bag and I feel like I’m getting pretty clawed up in the process and by my own cat. 1 Thes. 5:21 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.

505 | Sound reason on Genesis genealogies | Genesis | CDBJ | 178211 | ||
Greetings mkwr, Do you think it would be wise to practice the following with regards to genealogies? I don’t see where there can be any loopholes or gaps in the following command; do you? Titus 3:9 But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain. Have a nice day, CDBJ |

507 | Why did God put us on earth with satin? | Genesis | CDBJ | 196016 | ||
Hi TC and welcome to the forum. I see that you are an early riser by looking at the time you posted, that or you are on the other side of the pond; most likely? I wouldn’t stay awake waiting for an answer from CWA. There was only one post made by that member and it was the one you answered from way back in March of 2001. You can see when a person sends a post or message by looking on the far right side of the screen where the time and dates are listed. You can also read a little something about the author of any message by clicking the person’s name. The way I see it, our sin, as you mentioned, is a genetic condition that we received from our first parent, i.e. Adam. We are all born of Adam with the exception of Jesus, thus we inherit our old sin nature from the male gender. 1 Cor. 15:22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. Most don’t think its right that we inherit something from Adam just because “he” made a bad decision, but the truth of the matter is we are all in the same position as our first parents when it comes to making the decision. We can either chose to believe what God did for us in the person of His Son Jesus or we can reject Him; Jesus paid the price that God demands for our eternal future. “In” Christ shall all be made alive. God places us positionally, “in Christ” the very moment we fully trust in God’s unique Son. 2 Cor. 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. Ephes. 2:1 And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins, John 3:36 He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him." I hope you enjoy the forum, CDBJ |

Hi BMyres, I think it was part of the first question that the poster wanted in to affirm his thought since the answer came only two minutes after the first post. I’ve puller the trigger a little too quickly myself at times and it’s like bullets; one can’t bring them back once they are fired, CDBJ |

510 | When was "In the Beginning" | Gen 1:1 | CDBJ | 17565 | ||
I have long been confused over what the Bible says and what man has found for his evidence as to the length of time that the Earth has been around. I use to spend many days listening to professors expatiate on their theories regarding the age of certain periods of time. Later on, after becoming a Christian, I was subjected to a different concept as to the age of the Earth and it's living matter. I always had a struggle in my mind because there is so much evidence around that shows the Earth to be much older then our theologians are teaching us: Or are they both right? I read a booklet one day that cleared the whole matter up for me with one word in the Hebrew that can be translated several ways. It was stated by this individual, who happens to have a master's degree in the Hebrew language, that the word (was) in Genesis 1:2 could and should be translated (became). He spent the rest of the book explaining creation in it's proper prospective and it all made sense with what my geology professors taught. What man has found actually backs up what the Bible teaches. If you would like you can contact me by e-mail, and I will tell you where you can get a copy of the booklet. I am not going to try and explain a whole booklet on a forum though. CDBJ | ||||||

Very interesting, comments you made about a booklet that you have never look at, yet you supposedly new all about it and what it must have said along with the theory that the writer must have employed just by the use of one word: You must be clairvoyant or something. I think you are wasting your time on a forum with all us dummies. With your psychic powers of understanding it's probably boring, giving out perfect counseling every day at the New York Stock exchange. You probably made so much in the market this year that you don't have anything better to do but to sit around and pass judgment on the books that you've never even looked at. What with the capitol gains being what they are and all! You did end your speech with a bit of a shocker though. And that is this, that God can speak an entire universe into existence and really doesn't need our weak theories to explain it. The shock was that you say that your theories are weak as well as the rest, or was that a misprint. I got a lot from your thread but I don't want to discuss it with you because you already know what I am Thinking. CDBJ |

512 | When was "In the Beginning" | Gen 1:1 | CDBJ | 17684 | ||
I guess I did get out of hand on that to a degree. It's just that he shot down not me, but the source of information, with out even reading what my source had to say. My source of information has been studying the Hebrew language for over 60 years now. I have been studying under him for about 32 years now. He writes it backwards faster then I can write English left to right. He also speaks Hebrew fluently and is a master at idiom. To top if off the comments that he made were where all covered in the booklet and answered in every point, showing the pros and cons and the whys, relating to Hank's statements. My anger was more pointed toward Hank's attitude then Hank himself. I have always tried to give a person the benefit of the doubt, at least until I can check it all out. I guess that my outburst is a good indication that I still have an old sin nature. CDBJ | ||||||

I would like to take this time to offer an apology to Hank for my sudden out burst of anger the other day. I made some snide remarks that were not in keeping with the way that a believer in Christ should treat anyone much less another believer. God's Word says that pride comes before a fall; and I think that one of the things that Satan tries to do, is to neutralize us in our testimony. Hank, I am very sorry about what I said the other day and I hope that what I said will not deter you from responding in the future: I was wrong in my response please accept my apology. CDBJ | ||||||

515 | Bible and evolution both? | Gen 1:1 | CDBJ | 40202 | ||
I believe in the process of evolution when it comes to something that man makes. A good example would be the way machinery has evolved it is a very slow process. We have the designs of some of the first laths that were ever made and today we use highly sophisticated computer controlled laths. Between the first laths and the new models of today there are literally hundreds of thousands of everything in between. When it comes to the human race, evolutionist, by their own definition make it an impossibility, when there are no facts to present. They are always talking about the missing link as though there would only be one! If there was even a hint of evolution there wouldn't be (a) missing link, there would be millions and they can't even turn up one. Another example, that is about as preposterous, is going right from an hourglass full of sand to the atomic clocks that are used today to keeps the world time in check; and what was the (one) object between the two? There are millions and they are still around in collections. Does this make sense? Evolutionist, are evolutionist because they don't want to face the obvious and have to answer to a Holy God; but I have some bad news and some good news and it up to them as to which the want.CDBJ |

519 | The bible is a work of fiction - discuss | Gen 1:1 | CDBJ | 72336 | ||
Greetings calmithewolfe, and welcome to the forum. As the Bible states, they are coming up short in the glory department as far as God is concerned. Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Couple this with, Romans 6:23 A For the wages of sin is death; Now we are faced with a problem of considerable magnatude! One thing that God desires of us in order to be in his presence is that we are absolutely perfect and He is the standard for this perfection and or righteousness. That is a pretty bleak scenario until we look at the rest of God’s equation. This is where God’s Christ, Jesus, comes into the picture. God has a fantastic trade for even the worst people on this earth. God did something for us that we couldn’t do for our selves. He sent His perfect Son into the world to take our place and pay the price that we deserve. And if we will trust in God’s Son for paying the price for our sin, God says that he imparted our sin to Jesus and for trusting in Jesus, God goes one step further and imparts the righteousness of Christ to us. As a result when we trust in Jesus God credits to our account His perfect righteousness. 2 Cor. 5:21 For he hath made him (Jesus) to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. What a deal, that's why the message of Jesus is called the good news or Gospel, have a nice day, CDBJ |

520 | law vs grace Scripture??? | Gen 1:1 | CDBJ | 74032 | ||
Greetings Brother Billy Joe, and welcome to the forum; It is always nice to hear from new people. Your post, “Please go and read 1 John 3:4. The 10 Commandments are still valid and binding on all Christians.” Actually they way I see it the true believers in Jesus Christ are out from under the law of sin and death and under a higher and more stringent law, that being the law of the Spirit of life. Romans 8:1-6 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. [2] For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. [3] For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: [4] That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. [5] For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. [6] For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. The words in Rom. 8:1, walk not after the flesh, are the keys to what John was talking about in John 3:4 but to follow in the context the verses preceding must be considered. 1 John 3:2-3 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. [3] And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure. Verse 4 picks up with 1 John 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. The word committeth in the Koine Greek is one that describes continuous action and it is antithetical to the action of the man in verse 3 who is continuously trying to get closer to God by perifying himself, not trying see just how much he can get by with. It is interesting to note while reading John’s letters the use of the suffix “th” and realize that it is referring to a practice or continuous action. John was aware that all believers have two natures, a new nature in Christ and an old sin nature as in Adam. He wants us to follow after the new nature but sometimes the old one kicks in and when it does we sin. It’s not to be the life style of the believer but it does happen. i.e. We are not to practice sinning. 1 John 2:1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: It is a blessing to see the word that was used for the Christian way of life by John. The word walk comes to us from the word PARIPATEO. Paripateo suggest something that we do with our feet and unless one is moving, and that with one foot at a time, we are off balance between steps. The results of stopping while moving on one foot, if the next one isn’t put down right, we fall. 1 John 1:7-9 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. [9] If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. I hope this puts a little more light on the subject? If you get a chance, fill out your personal profile so we know something about you. Have a nice day, CDBJ |
