Greeting Minister summers, I believe what you are saying falls pretty much in line with, 1 Cor. 3:16-17 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? [17] If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are. It always pays to study before signing on the dotted line because often times we mean well but if we don’t take the time to read something and we give our Ok or consent that tends to leads to the impression that we are being deceptive; and that wouldn’t be conducive to a good Bible practice; would you agree with that?

663 | Am I wrong to think this? | Proverbs | CDBJ | 106840 | ||
Hi Josh, Well it certainly sounds like you have had some real experiences in your life, that's for sure! Have you come to the place yet, in your spiritual experiences, where you can say for sure that you would have eternal life with God, if you would die, say tomorrow? I know that’s a scary thought, but what would you say to God, if you were to stand before him tomorrow and he were to ask you, Josh, why should I let you come into my kingdom, what would you say to him; I’m curious?

Greetings Josh, I appreciate the honesty and hart felt expression in your answer and I use to feel the same way you do until God pointed a few things out to me from His Word. There are several issues that most people overlook when it comes to being acceptable in God’s sight, that are pointed out in Scripture. Matthew 5:20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven. Luke 13:3 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. Matthew 7:21 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. John 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. In reading these four verses there are the issues of our righteousness, repentance, the Fathers will, and what is being call, born again and that isn’t even considering what it says in Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; The all, in this verse, take in you and me and the rest of the world. Truth be known it would appear that we are all in big trouble especially when one considers what it says in the first part of Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; Now this word death means separation from God, and that’s for all eternity. That’s the bad news, now here come the good news! The fact that God loves us, and that fact that we a more or less helpless, as far as God is concerned, caused God to devise a plan that involved Him and His great love. God cannot excuse sin in any way if He did it would be against His Holy nature, He can’t just can’t look the other way! God said that sin requires death, as a penalty, and that’s a price that we can’t pay and still be remain with Him in His kingdom. God, as the judge, knew we were in big trouble so He said that He would pay the high price, for sin, that His Holiness demanded. The only problem is that God can’t die, so He decided to become a man and take what we deserve, and that’s where Jesus comes into the picture. The good news isn’t that we love God but that God loved us first. Romans 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Just know this, intellectually, isn’t enough, God wants us to trust in what His Son did for us and depend on Jesus for our eternal life. If we will completely trust in the work that God did for us through the person of His Son Jesus, God the Father says that He will give us eternal life as a FREE gift and God can’t lie, you can count on it! Here is the rest of Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the GIFT OF GOD is eternal life THROUGH JESUS CHRIST our Lord. There were several, in Jesus day that wanted to know what they could do as far as works, notice what Jesus told them. John 6:28-29 Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? 29Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent. The following verses are what I would consider some of the most precious in the whole 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. 11And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 12He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. 13These 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. Then there is the verse that all have heard. John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Well Josh God made the promises and He says the eternal life is in the person of His Son so you see the key to getting into heaven is all in trusting in God’s Son Jesus, do you believe what God is telling you in His word. John 6:37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. You see Josh, the one that is going to judge us, God, is none other then Jesus Himself. He will either be your judge or your Savior. John 5:22 For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son: What a great Christmas present God has given us in the person of His Son. Have A Marry Christmas and tell God that you are going to put all of your faith and hope in His Son Jesus for your eternal life! CDBJ |

It's generally the function of the Forum to let God's Word give the answers to questions. What we say as individuals doesn't hold much water; as the saying goes. The Bible is the answer that is profitable for instruction. All Scripture has a primary interpretation and often numerous practical applications. 2 Tim. 3:16-17 (NASB) All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; 17that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work. Psalm 119:160 (NASB) The sum of Thy word is truth, And every one of Thy righteous ordinances is everlasting. 2 Tim. 2:15 (KJV) Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

Hi Tony, I believe you are really stretching Psalm 37:4 to the limit. Psalm 37:4 Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. I don’t think its saying delight thyself in your pets! I love my pets but I can’t say that I’ve found any Scripture that assures me they will be in heaven? I’m very sad to say that but facts are facts. 2 Tim. 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. CDBJ |

669 | is it wrong to gamble? | Prov 16:33 | CDBJ | 34731 | ||
Hi Hank, I think that was Phiby's rendition of one of the following verses; I say this in question though the same as you! 1 Cor. 6:12 All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any. 1 Cor. 10:23 All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not. In my estimation these verses can be used when there is nothing in the Bible that actually spells things out in black and white. One more that comes into play is Rom. 14:23(B) Romans 14:23 And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: (for whatsoever is not of faith is sin.) CDBJ |

Hi Sid and a big welcome aboard, It’s great to have a Bible expositor on the forum and one with the ability of textual criticism and the mastery of the original languages. Where did you get your degrees in Hebrew and Greek and have you had much experience in the Attica Greek? You sure will be helpful in clearing up some of the more difficult Koine Greek etymology that we run into now and then! Be sure and fill out your Personal profile and contact me on my e-mail that's on my profile if you would. Ancient Hebrew and Greek idioms blow my mind, CDBJ |

672 | Who is Lucifer/ why was heson of morning | Isaiah | CDBJ | 20799 | ||
The book of I Peter was written in approximately AD 63: if what you said is true, why did Peter bother to right chapter 5:8,9 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. I John 4:4 speaks of (he), a ref. to satan being in the World. (Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.) Now since the devil isn't omnipresent, i.e. he can't be in more then one place at a time, he must be going back and forth from Earth to Heaven, otherwise Paul wouldn't have penned Ephesians 6:10-17, It wouldn't be necessary if our adversary were incarcerated. The fact that the devil is thrown out of Heaven, Rev. 12:7 doesn't mean that he was imprisoned there. What kind of a war would that be? The devil doesn't have omniscience like God so he has to come to Earth to see what the believers are doing in order to accuse them before God, Rev. 12:10. The fact that he is cast down only mean that he is no longer permitted to come to Heaven any longer to wage war with the brethren. He knows that when this happens that his last days of deception are coming to a halt; The only place that he can torment believers after the war in Heaven, will be on the Earth, and he knows that there are only three and one half years left to do his evil work. As a result he comes down to Earth having great wrath for the elect of God. Jesus mentioned this in Matt. 24:21-22; Paul tells of the same thing in II Thess. 2:3-6 There is no indication that the devil is restricted in any way at this time as far as confinement or being locked up. |

673 | Who is Lucifer/ why was heson of morning | Isaiah | CDBJ | 20835 | ||
I love all the believers in Christ and I don't mean to hurt anyone's feelings, but I honestly don't know where some of our brothers and sisters come up with these things. I talked to a person one time and they actually believed that Satan had horns with a red suit and carried a trident around. That is the picture that he would like to paint so that believers don't recognize him for what he really is, one of the most beautiful creature that God has ever created, not to mention one of the smartest. He knows that his days are numbered and when he is cast of Heaven that will trigger a response from him that will cause the greatest persecution that has ever taken place on the Earth for believers. It will make the holocaust that the Jews went through, look like a Sunday school picnic, if you'll pardon the expression. The book of I Peter 4:12-19 tells us not to be surprised when it happens. These will be the days of great deception for believers and there are numerous warnings telling us so; but even with all the warnings believers will be caught off guard! | ||||||
674 | Who is Lucifer/ why was heson of morning | Isaiah | CDBJ | 20848 | ||
I think that the time spoken of in Rev.12 is the point in time that Christ describes in Matt.24:15, which is the mid point of Jacob's trouble. Paul calls it out in II Thess. 2:3,4. Jews and Christians alike will suffer at this time. If Satan can't get at the Jews, he will come after the believers in Jesus. Rev. 12:13-17 And when the dragon saw that he was thrown down to the earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male (child.) But the two wings of the great eagle were given to the woman, so that she could fly into the wilderness to her place, where she *was nourished for a time and times and half a time, from the presence of the serpent. And the serpent poured water like a river out of his mouth after the woman, so that he might cause her to be swept away with the flood. But the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and drank up the river which the dragon poured out of his mouth. So the dragon was enraged with the woman, and went off to make war with the rest of her children, who keep the commandments of God and hold to the testimony of Jesus. I would like to emphasize that this (IS NOT) the wrath of God but Satan, who was cast down to the Earth. These will be the days of his vengeance against God and all that He stands for. Satan will demand the worship of the inhabitants of the Earth and the (true) believers, the wheat, won't give in. It will be the time just before the harvest. In my opinion, this is how God will separate the wheat from the tares. The pressure will be immense to say the least, so great that, if it were possible, even the elect could be deceived. But with the Lord's help and Bible doctrine we will overcome because we are not in darkness, we are expecting it! Paul said that remember that when I was with you, I told you these things. I hope that I haven't messed up everyone's way of thinking, but that's how I see it. |

Where does it say that Satan him self, is the antichrist, since we are splitting hairs? I was always under the impression that the antichrist was a man and Satan empowered him! I might be dense or something but I Peter 5:8 tells me that the devil is walking about. Now I suppose that you are going to tell me that all this walking about is taking place while in prision and that he is pacing back and forth in his cell while incarcerated. Where is this maximum-security prison in heaven or earth? You made mention in your post that (we believe), I wasn't under the opinion that believing anything in the Bible was a collective situation! Who does the, (we), represent, since you mentioned it? This is a strange doctrine to me, and I would imagine to the rest of the forum, so please don't be offended if I seem a little curt. | ||||||

Casiv, I think that there are many antichrists in the world just as the epistle of John indicate. But the main character of (the), as a definite article, antichrist hasn't manifested himself yet. I believe his main object it to establish a one World government over which he will be the ruler. At some point during his escalation to World dominance, Satan will empower him and he will demand the worship of the world. I think that the antichrist is referred to as the first beast in Revelation. He will have a right hand man that is mentioned in Scripture as the false prophet or another beast. I think that this second beast will be some kind of a religious leader because it says that he has horns as a (lamb), but he speaks like the dragon. I.e. A great deceiver that will lead many over to antichrist way of thinking. My favorite Biblical subject is eschatology. I like to dig into word studies in the original languages of the Bible. My favorite net sight for online information on future things is, (www.signministries.org). They tie it all together like no other I have found, and if one is really mixed up, they have an 800 number to answer tough questions. At present they are compiling a commentary on the book of Revelation. It seems like the older I get, in the Lord and studying in His word, the more it causes the knowledge that I have gained, to shrink by comparison. It scares me to think where I was 35 years ago and that new believers are starting at zero. I hope the forum helps them to grow with an open Bible and that they prove all things by searching through it for truth. Psalm 119:160 (AMS) The sum of Your word is truth, EIRENE, CDBJ |

Hello Asis, don’t confuse a small number recognizing that Jesus is the Messiah with what will take place in the future. You suggested Romans 11:23 as taking place now; read on and keep it in context, especially verse 26 where the word “all” is used. Romans 11:23-29 And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graff them in again. 24For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be graffed into their own olive tree? 25For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. 26And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: 27For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins. Study the book of Daniel with regard to his 70 weeks, and the rest of the Minor Prophets and you will see that Israel must make a seven year covenant with a strong leader for protection, who will deceive them and turn on them after 42 months. Israel won’t be grafted back in until the times of the Gentiles is over. Study, study, study, CDBJ |

Hello Asis, All of what you have said is good and noble but it doesn’t back up what you suggested in you last post of which I presented you with Scripture to prove otherwise. You said in you previous post, and I quote, “Since I am a Messianic Jew and know of many conversions occurring in Israel as I write I would have to say that Romans 11:23 is being fulfilled Now.” How, with Scripture, can you prove that your statement is true with reference to the verses that follow Rom. 11:23? Romans 11:24-28 For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be graffed into their own olive tree? 25For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. 26And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: Are you saying by your statement that the fullness of the Gentiles has come in? Please inform, CDBJ |

Hello Asis, Have you read any of Marvin Rosenthal’s books? I would like to recommend one called, The Pre-Wrath Rapture of the Church. The Lord has given me the chance to write biblical poems and here is one that I wrote that you might enjoy; I’m not sure how the format will look on the forum but I am sure you will get the gist of it. CDBJ TO THE JEW FIRST Unjust trials, a loathsome hill, the curse of a wooden cross. Yeshua HaMashiach, he came to save the lost. Who was this precious one, come down from above? Twas Adonai Eloheinu, Adonai Echad. He paid the price for sin then rose up to the sky. He’s known throughout the scripture, as Jehovah Adonai. He was sorely rejected by his own, they still proclaim. We know not this one called Jesus, though Yeshua is his name. Messiah came and died, to set his people free. The story was foretold in Isaiah 53: God came down upon this Earth, as a man in time to dwell. It’s written in Isaiah 7: He’s called Immanuel. Psalm 22 spoke of his death, how they pierced his hands and feet. He was nailed up to a cross in fact, so lives could be complete. Receive this true Messiah; believe in Yeshua’s name. No other one is coming, and this has been your shame. Accept God’s gift Messiah, He was sent as sacrifice. The spotless Lamb of God, who could only pay the price. The Lord will lift the curse and fight for you again, If you’ll but turn to Yeshua to take away your sin. Moses led you out but God had sent the plan. To follow one name Joshua, into the Promised Land. He was a type in fact, of one who fills the need. The promise of a savior, the fulfillment of a seed. It all points to Jesus, if you seek the truth you’ll see. He’s the answer for the Jew, in all of prophecy. By Charles D. Bickett Jr. |
