621 | Is Satan a fallen angel? | Num 22:22 | CDBJ | 189254 | ||
Greetings BibleVerse, Your post is describing they actions of the one called Satan as you suggest the following and that being a reference to a fallen angel, “However, he later thought too much of himself and wanted the worship that rightly belongs to God” Where do you personally think the Bible places Jesus Christ as a result of the following verses, i.e. who is He? Hebrews 1:1-8 (KJV) God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, 2Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; 3Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; 4Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they. 5For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son? 6And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him. 7And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire. 8But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.

Greetings TLAVISTA, Even though Kalos is still very much a part of the forum, the post that you remarked about is over two years old. You might want to check on the far right side where it gives the date when the posting was added. I’m enjoying you comments on the forum, CDBJ |

623 | Alternative to the term "Jesus is LORD"? | Deut 11:19 | CDBJ | 175430 | ||
Greetings Pilgrim and I would like, at this late time, welcome you to the forum. It would be a help to those posting with you if you could take the time and share a little something about yourself. There is a RESOURCES section on the lower left side of the HOME page with the words, “Update User Info”; left click on this and you will see what I mean. You can also click on the author’s name of any post and see something about the one who posted the thread. I think the subject of communicating the fact that “Jesus is Lord” is within the confines of the work of the Holy Spirit. It’s our responsibility to crank out the gospel message every chance we get and expound on the person and work of Jesus. 1 Cor. 12:3 Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost. I further believe that the only way that this is true is when the following action has transpired and the truth about God’s Messiah is a “reality” in ones mental frame of reference as it was with Peter. 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 |

624 | Alternative to the term "Jesus is LORD"? | Deut 11:19 | CDBJ | 175458 | ||
Hello Pilgrim, There is a measure of truth in what you say but on the other hand I believe the Lord has saved a number of people that I have shared the gospel with in spite of me. 1 Cor. 3:7 So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase. Isn’t the Lord just AWESOME! John 10:1-3 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. [2] But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. [3] To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. Sometimes when I “try to think” just how fantastic God is and the fact that he has revealed, to dumb little lowlife me, the truth about His Son, all I can do is shake my head in wonder. God’s love is much, much more then I can fathom but I know enough about it to sure be appreciative in Christ, CDBJ |

Well Lanny, for starters I am CDBJ, not Joe, but I know how easy it is to get mixed up; I think we have all done that a few times. You say that you would like to see where Paul sinned after salvation. Try Rom. 7:15 and combine that with James 4:17 and you have it. Take you for example; did you ever drive just a little over the speed limit? Now don't tell me that you have never violated just one traffic law, and you knew it was wrong? James 4:17 will get you every time! Have a nice day, CDBJ P.S. when you called me Joe, what if that would have made me loose my cool? You just put a stumbling block in a brother's way and we are commanded not to do that. Lanny, all believers have sins in their life after salvation. There are sins of omission as well as sin of commission. There are a lot that have thought that they don't sin after salvation, and when they take a nosedive it shocks them so bad, that they are ashamed to continue a close walk with Christ. Pride cometh before a fall, and I say this to you in love. I don't know how long that you have been a believer in Christ and I admire your walk but be careful. I have know the Lord for over 35 years and I would hate to say how many times that I have had to use I John 1:9. The older I get, and the more I learn, the more I have to use I John 1:9 I hope you continue to keep up the close walk, but don't be proud of it, because the Lord hates pride. I hope you take this in the spirit in which it is given and don't feel that I am judging you. Yours in Christ, CDBJ |

There is only one thing that I would like to ask you, but the answer to that must be broken down also. What sin did Jesus Christ not pay for? When and if you come up with one; that is the only sin that can condemn a person. When Jesus was hanging on the cross, God the Father poured out all of the sins of the World on His Son and judged them. Every sin that has ever been committed, past present and future, they were all poured out on Him and judged. Now if that is the case, and it is, then the problem is no longer sin. The main issue now, since Jesus dealt with the sin problem is, what do you think of Jesus the Christ. What will you do with God's Messiah? One either believes in Him or they reject Him. It's that simple or that complicated which ever you choose. Don't confuse sinning after salvation with salvation; it is connected with service not salvation. God said that He will NEVER leave you or forsake you, but He didn't say that you would always be in fellowship with Him. We can't get out of salvation, but we can sure get out of fellowship by grieving or quenching The Spirit, and this we do by sinning. Until a person understands this, it is very hard to grow in Christ. The knowledge that He has freed us to serve cannot be understood by one who is still in bondage to a concept that they can loose their salvation because they are trying so hard just to hang on to it. If anyone has an argument with this it is because they don't see it yet. Please don't argue any of these false concepts with me, I am free and I know it; praise the Lord. I feel real sorry for trapped believers that don't understand this truth. They can argue with me till they are blue in the face, I know what the Lord has revealed to me, and I am telling you it is great! I am resting in the Lord and the power of His Might. I tell you I love all the brothers and sisters in Christ and I respect their views, but some don't know what they are missing. I will close with a verse from Hebrews 4:1 Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it. Come short, is like God giving us a checkbook with a million dollars in it and we don't know how to write a check. CDBJ |

Greetings wilmap, You suggested the following, "True, but at least the Scriptures backed Columbus" Hind sight is always 20/20 and it’s easy to make a statement after the fact. Maybe the people of that day were thinking of other verses? Isaiah 11:12 And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth. Rev. 7:1 And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree. If you like to try and place current events into biblical settings here is one you can work with. Do you think that Matt. 24:4-39 is speaking to the Jewish nation per say, or to all believers that are alive at that time, i.e. the church or the body of Christ; who are these verses for? Have a nice day, CDBJ |

Hello Wilma, Here I thought it was you that said, with reference to Columbus, “True, but at least the Scriptures backed Columbus”. I’m not saying that the Earth isn’t round; all I am saying is that there are verses of Scripture that speak of corners, is that true or false? If you say true and “we” know the Earth is round then all of Scripture didn’t back Columbus, per se. As for the oil thing, who knows, I have had some salads that taste like they had Mobil #1 10W 30W on them. Since you believe that Matt. 24 is speaking to believers, what is your definition of the last days since you used Matt. 24:42 as a reference. Matthew 24:42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. Do you think believers will know the “approximate” time that the Lord will remove them and what will be going on just before His return, or do you think it will be a great surprise to those who are looking for Him? Have a great day, CDBJ |

Hello Wilma, It certainly sound like you have a well rounded knowledge of the Bible. Not to put a halt to the discussion we were having but I noticed that you have neglected to mention anything about yourself in the personal profile section of the forum; or weren’t you aware that there was such a section? Aside from that, what in your estimation has been the single most fantastic or exciting bit of information that you have read it the Bible, during the time that you’ve been reading it; in say forty words or less?

Hi Wilma, Your post included the following, which I have to say is a great illustration, even if I didn’t think of it, ho ho. “Now if you had 2 children that you promised a new bicycle, how do you think they would feel if you just put the one on the new bike and said "here you go," while to the other you said "you'll get your's when you do the following . . ." (This is also how I get people to thing about the misconception that life is a test by God and if we pass it, we get to go to heaven. After all, why didn't the angels have to undergo such a test?)” Incidentally, everyone but Jesus has flunked the test by God. Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Romans 3:12 They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. I can definitely say that in your illustration, I am Child number one. The bicycle or eternal life was given to me as a free gift; if I could have worked for it wouldn’t have been a gift but wages, right, and we know what wages I deserve. Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. My eternal life was a free gift to me and I have already experienced it, it’s a done deal, and all I had to do for the gift is was accept it! Guess who gets all the credit, my precious Lord and Saviour Jesus the Christ: He did all the work and He gets all the credit, he paid with his life so I could have the gift. What an awesome trade, He took all my sins and I got all of His righteousness. When God showed this to me HOW could I refuse! If I didn’t believe it, would be like calling God a liar; not a good idea in my way of thinking! 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. God sure showed His mercy toward me and I sure didn’t deserve it, He gave me His best, the person of His Son. It was God’s riches at Christ expense. According to God, I was a vile sinner yet He loved me and made the first move in my direction. Romans 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. God did something for me that I couldn’t do for myself and all I was required to do was trust and depend on the person of God’s Son. Ephes. 2:8-9 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: [9] Not of works, lest any man should boast. As long as I tried to work or do something for God’s gift He wouldn’t give it to me but as soon as I quit working and started depended on what God already did for me in the person of His Son Jesus, then God gave me the gift. I have God’s Son; eternal life was just a side benefit that’s assured. Jesus did it all for me and I have all the confidence in the world that I can’t loose it because it doesn’t depend on me but on Jesus and what he did. This to me, is the most exciting news in the Bible. 1 John 5:10-13 He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. [11] And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. [12] He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. [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 has “already given me the gift” the moment that I put “all” of my faith and hope and trust in God’s Son, Jesus the Christ. I can’t fully explain how God has insured me of the “fact” through His Spirit but He did, and it’s the greatest thing that I have ever experienced in the close to 68 years that I have been living! Now you know my story, Which one of the two children, in your illustration of the bicycles, are you? I have been riding my bicycle now for close to 40 years and it’s still just as exciting as the day I got it as a “free gift” from my heavenly Father!!! I hope you are having a great day, CDBJ |

What false doctrine are you ascribing to that says that there is a difference between the Jew and the Gentile with regards to eternal life? It’s the same for everyone, 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. That sound pretty conclusive to me; how is it you don’t understand these things, could it be the action of 1 Cor. 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. Do you understand the meaning of the psuchikos man in the previous verse and his lack of understanding and why. Have you personally had an experience with the living God yet in your life? CDBJ |

You say that it shouldn’t matter, is that by your standards or the Lord’s? Do you agree with the following? 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: If you agree you are out of line, if you don’t agree "you" are out of touch!

Hi Wanda B. And welcome to the forum. I agree with what you are saying about those that aren’t accountable for their actions. There is also another way to say the same thing; they haven’t willingly rejected God’s plan for eternal life by refusing to trust in God’s Son so their names haven’t been blotted out of the book of life. The omniscience of God knew from eternity past that many wouldn’t be able to make a decision for God’s Son and I think His love made provision for them. 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. 30Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified. It’s a done deal because we have a loving and just God! Have a great day, CDBJ |

Good point Searcher, a lot of people think that they are saved because they jumped thru some preacher's psychological hoop by walking forward in a service. I talked to a person onetime and ask them if they were to die this very minute and stand before God and if he were to ask them, why should I let you into my kingdom, what would you say? Their answer was, (because I went forward in a Billy Graham crusade.) I wonder if that could be added to one of those new translations, since they are changing so much anyway, it could read as follows. Matthew 7:22 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? and in thy name gone forward in a service? Matthew 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. CDBJ |

I think that we spend too much time telling people that they are saved when they arn't. They believe they are saved because we tell them so. It should be the Lord telling them and then they know because he says so in His Word. 1 John 5:10 A He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: |

I think that we spend too much time telling people that they are saved when they arn't. They believe they are saved because we tell them so. It should be the Lord telling them and then they would know for sure because he says so in His Word. Faith in Jesus has to be alive an personal not just a meaningless ritual! 1 John 5:10 A He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: Someone once said, "If you were ever arrested for being a follower of Christ, could they find enough evidence to convict you, and going to church doesn't count?"
