701 | Thorn in the flesh | Is 57:1 | CDBJ | 46033 | ||
Hi Joe, you mentioned, www. Joniandfriends.org, well she was at our church a couple of Months ago and gave us her testimony, it was very impressive how she is being used of the Lord. She sure puts her faith in the Lord and is a shinning and living example of the following verse. 1 Thes. 5:18 (KJV) In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. She has surely fulfilled Romans 12:1 with her life. Romans 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. Those that get off on this healing kick and think that we are all going to be pictures of health are living in a dream world. I just hope for their sakes that the Lord doesn't give them a big dose of reality some day because if he does their faith will be shattered beyond their imaginations. CDBJ |

Dear Scribe, don't misinterpret what I have said, I do believe in Devine healing, I just don't believe in, so called, devine healers! When someone isn't healed, at there shows, they blame it on the faith of the one that wasn't healed never on their actually not having the gift of healing, which evidently ended in the time of Paul. People have even been told to stop taking their medication, for serious problems that they have had, to show their faith is genuine and as a result have died. The, so-called healers have blamed the persons weak faith for the persons demise. I have seen the Lord heal people for his praise and glory and there was never a "healer" around. Yes I truly do believe in healing, but not the sideshow antics that are taking place at some gatherings where a believer's faith is questioned; where people are laid down on a stage like so much cordwood. Then to top it off people are duped out of there money for the furtherance of the sideshow, and the fancy lifestyle of the supposed healer. When the apostles had the gift of healing it was for the purpose of proof to their credentials, so that people would listen to their message about the saving work of Christ. They didn't do it for healings sake because sooner or later all that are healed will die of one thing or another and the same goes for the so called devine healers now days. If they have the gift of healing let see them go into the hospital and go room to room healing people then give a message of salvation to those standing by in amazement. When Isaiah talked of healing, it was from the sickness of sin and it's effects, and the results will go on forever, because the work of God's Son, Jesus Christ is a permanent work. Isaiah 53:5 (KJV) But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. This is what I have seen and heard and this what I know, CDBJ |

Again I would like to say that I believe in healing as the Bible describes it. My point is that I don't go along with the sideshow healers that are so prevalent today. They make a mockery of the truth that is presented in the Word of God to the point that it is disgraceful: Nothing, more and nothing less! Most of those that I have met that follow this kind of action are the type that are dictated to by their emotions and they don't have enough doctrin stored up in their soul to fill a thimble. They are the moodiest bunch of believers that I have ever run into; they have wide emotional swings in their Christian walk, and can change almost faster then the weather: believe me when I tell you, I know because I have worked with many, most of which have a Holier then thou attitude that makes me bilious. Don't get me wrong I love them in the Lord! What disturbs me is the way they come across to unbelievers. Just like the old saying goes, "what they do, speaks so loud that I can't hear what they are saying". More oft then not, they have muddied up the water so much that the people they are around won't even listen to a clear presentation of the gospel from anyone else! This is something that I have seen and lived with and you couldn't convince me otherwise, no mater how hard you try. When people see this going on they figure, if this guy is right I don't want to be. 2 Cor. 5:20 A Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, Lets act like one, CDBJ |

705 | Knowing the Word | Jer 8:7 | CDBJ | 233203 | ||
Greetings, I have reference to just such a predicament. Acts 13:48 in comparison to II Pet. 3:9 Acts 13:48 (KJV) 48 And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed. The previous is an example of God’s sovereign decision. The following doesn’t play out correctly when considering God’s will, which is also His sovereign decision, i.e. what God desires, He is able to perform! 2 Peter 3:9 (KJV) 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. If mans repentance toward God is actually a direct act of God according to Acts 13:48, and if God on the other hand desires for all to be saved, i.e. His will, why doesn’t He so decree that all should be saved? We know for a fact that there are more lost then there are saved. Matthew 7:14 (KJV) 14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. (God’s provision verses man’s responsibility) I have been trying to figure this one out for close to 47 years now, CDBJ |

Thanks for your reply. That's the same illustration that I have been using. My reason for posting was to see if anyone had other Scripture that might shed more light on the issue. Thanks again, CDBJ |

708 | General Revelation | Jer 10:10 | CDBJ | 240321 | ||
Greetings, I know I am a little late with this post but I finally found time to redeem the same and I would like to say that I enjoyed your post! Backing up a little we see the same thing emphasized by Jesus in John’s gospel and to admit less would not be in keeping with sound doctrine. John 16:7-12 (NASB) 7 "But I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you. 8 "And He, when He comes, will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment; Notice what the single sin is that will condemn humanity and it is being communicated by the Holy Spirit Himself; this is the only sin that Jesus didn't and couldn't pay the price for on the cross! 9 concerning sin, because they do not believe in Me; 10 and concerning righteousness, because I go to the Father and you no longer see Me; 11 and concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged. 12 "I have many more things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. The sad part is there are humans that don’t care to bear what He, the Spirit, is telling them and their heart gets harder and harder! What the righteousness of God demands the justice of God must execute. CDBJ |

709 | New covnant w/ Isrl or proph on Christ? | Jer 31:22 | CDBJ | 196820 | ||
Hi Azure, Here is some interesting information on Jeremiah 31:22 From: (Bible Knowledge Commentary) 31:21-22. God called on the captives to set up road signs and guideposts as they traveled to Babylon and to remember the road they would take. They would need this information during His promised restoration so they could return to their towns. This time of promised restoration will be so remarkable that it will be as if God will create a new thing on earth. That new event is described proverbially by the clause, a woman will surround a man. This is probably the most difficult verse to understand in the Book of Jeremiah. One possible idea is that a woman will seek, or court, a man (NIV marg.). In that culture a woman would not normally court a man, so this would indicate something unusual. The woman here is Israel (v. 21). She had been unfaithful, but in the future she will finally seek out her God and ask to be united with Him. That might be a good source for your collection of study aids, I know it helps me, CDBJ |

Greetings Kalos, Isn’t the verse you quoted in Jer. 31:33 referring to the time when God will graft Israel back into the true vine. Romans 11:25-27 For 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.

Hi Ray, I hope you are felling well!!! Kalos and I are in agreement in our understanding of eschatology and I just thought that I would point that verse out to him. I truly hope you are on the mend, CDBJ |

712 | Has anything changed | Ezek 28:1 | CDBJ | 46879 | ||
Hi Srbaegon, there is a neat website that is dedicated to strictly eschatology: there is a section in it that has a red background that you can click on that is a commentary on the book of Revelation. Check it out, www.signministries.org I have spent days researching the info. that is available in there, it is very informative and sure answers a lot of hard questions. CDBJ | ||||||
713 | origin of the devil | Ezek 28:13 | CDBJ | 184200 | ||
Greetings Jonp, It’s hard for me to grasp and angelic court from the words Us and Our as you suggest in, Genesis 1:26 Then God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth." Wouldn’t it appear strange that one of the members of the God head would be conversing with anyone besides the other two members of the trinity about something that God was going to create? I don’t understand or see how an angel could assist God in a creating situation of any kind, be it man or whatever? I’m open to anything that might be in that verse but I must admit I can’t see it. Wouldn’t the word 'elohiym even as you mentioned, being a plural word in the Hebrew, lean toward the three personalities of the trinity and thus one of the members speaking to the other two in a way that we as humans could grasp? I realize that all three of the personalities of God knew exactly what they were going to do and God didn't have to say it but I think it was penned that way for our benefit. CDBJ |

Thank you very much for the informative response, I must say the Bible doctrine that I have sustained in my frame of reference has gone through “many overhauls” since the early years when I was placed in God’s family; the later part of 1965. Some truths are well polished by reason of use but still others are in place but lack the proper refinements brought about by smoothing and finishing of numerous other verses of the same essence. Psalm 119:160 The sum of Thy word is truth, And every one of Thy righteous ordinances is everlasting. I believe we have only established truth when “all the verses” of Scripture pertaining to that particular doctrine withstand the tests of scrutiny of other Bible verses and there are no contradictions. I try to understand Scripture at face value accepting it in it’s most normal, natural and customary sense. Your particular suggestion in Genesis, portraying an angelic court, will have to float in my storage compartment for now since I personally don’t have enough Scripture to support it. 2 Tim. 3:16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, Ephes. 4:13 until we all attain to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature man, to the measure of the stature which belongs to the fulness of Christ. Still growing in Christ, CDBJ |

715 | What would this sound like? | Daniel | CDBJ | 114072 | ||
I don't think you understood my question let me put it another way! What in your estimation does the voice of many waters actually sound like? I know what the sound of Niagara falls is like but how could a voice sound like that and what does it mean? Rev. 1:15 (B) and his voice as the sound of many waters. CDBJ |

716 | What would this sound like? | Daniel | CDBJ | 114131 | ||
Hi Suede, Yes, I think Rev. 1:15 is definitely a figure of speech but I thought is came closer to a simile then a metaphor because it is introduced by the word as or HOS, to link the comparison. A metaphor is more of an implied comparison rather then a direct comparison as a simile with connecting words. Rev. 1:15 (B) and his voice as the sound of many waters. The word voice, nominative, feminine, singular, of the noun PHONE is connected to the genitive, neuter, plural noun HUDATON by the subordinating conjunction HOS. Now that I have all that out of my system, how would you describe it or is it impossible to do? I fine it rather impossible to explain because I can’t comprehend the audible word inflections that could be used to show the comparison of many waters in order to do it! I have never heard many rumbling waters say anything if you get my “drift”? What is the purpose and intent of the writer in using these words and how could I explain it to another since I have never heard many waters talk. I’m even confusing myself now, it’s like trying to explaining red to a blind person who has never seen color! Have a nice day, CDBJ |

719 | Purposing alone is not enough | Dan 1:8 | CDBJ | 219062 | ||
Greetings, Concerning your post with emphasis on the following. “After purposing in your heart to make Jesus your Lord and Personal savior.” We cannot make Jesus anything, as it were: He is what He is! One can either except it or reject it; it is all a matter of fact, and the work that God has done from eternity past. One elects to fall in line with God’s plan or they suffer the consequence of the results. The daily intake of God’s Word and the application of the same is the only way to come out on top of the process when all is said and done. Have a great day, CDBJ |
