If that's what happens when you do then what happens when you don't, wouldn’t the antithesis be true and doesn't that go aginst grace? CDBJ |

743 | does God intend for us to pay tithes | Malachi | CDBJ | 194722 | ||
Hi Miller, I think we have likely dragged this one out far enough, but there is a question that I would like to ask you? To whom, as in the case of the ransom being paid, was this ransom paid to in the following verses? Matthew 20:28 Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many. 1 Tim. 2:6 Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time. CDBJ |

Hello Miller, It appears you don’t understand my question again. The verses say for whom it was done! But those particular verses don’t say “to whom it was paid”, or in other words who received the payment of the ransom that Christ gave which was His life? When a ransom is paid it is paid to the one holding, say a king as hostage. We were being held hostage as it were and who got the payment for us? That’s about as clear as I can make it, CDBJ |

The same thing is told in I and II Thess. and in more details in Rev. 6:1-17 and 7:9-14. You might want to look at Joel 2:1—3:15 , Amos 5:18,19 and Obadiah 12-14,21 CDBJ | ||||||
747 | Tribulation before rapture? | Matthew | CDBJ | 35446 | ||
zach, the coming of the Lord in the Greek isn't a verb but a noun, it isn't an action but an event. Just emphasizing the words (the last trump in this event) and how the trump plays out, in other Scriptures and you will see it is what we commonly call the rapture. Check out the trump!! Matthew 24:31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. 1 Cor. 15:51-52 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 1 Thes. 4:15-17 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. 16For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. This sure sounds like the rapture to me no matter which way you slice it. CDBJ |

748 | Tribulation before rapture? | Matthew | CDBJ | 35452 | ||
The tribulation is actually cut short by the rapture according to everything that I see. The moment after the Lord takes us up from the Earth he is going to pour out his wrath on those left behind. Just like in the days of Noah and Lot, the believers were removed then WHAM. 2 Thes. 1:6-10 God is just: He will pay back trouble to those who trouble you 7and give relief to you who are troubled, and to us as well. This will happen when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven in blazing fire with his powerful angels. 8He will punish those who do not know God and do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus. 9They will be punished with everlasting destruction and shut out from the presence of the Lord and from the majesty of his power 10on the day he comes to be glorified in his holy people and to be marveled at among all those who have believed. This includes you, because you believed our testimony to you. The (when) at the beginning of verse 10 gives the timing of the rapture and the beginning of God's wrath on the earth. |

749 | Tribulation before rapture? | Matthew | CDBJ | 35512 | ||
It isn't the mid point it is the end. The object of the great tribulation is being removed. The world is thrown into panic by great disturbance in the heavens. Every one on the earth is looking up because of all the trouble. Believers are told to look up, the unbelievers will look up and see the Lord coming the they will be scrambling into the rocks and caves to hide from him. Joel 2:10 Before them the earth quakes, The heavens tremble, The sun and the moon grow dark, And the stars lose their brightness. Acts 2:20 'THE SUN SHALL BE TURNED INTO DARKNESS, AND THE MOON INTO BLOOD, BEFORE THE GREAT AND GLORIOUS DAY OF THE LORD SHALL COME. Rev. 1:7 BEHOLD, HE IS COMING WITH THE CLOUDS, and every eye will see Him, even those who pierced Him; and all the tribes of the earth will mourn over Him. Even so. Amen. Joel 2:31 "The sun will be turned into darkness, And the moon into blood, Before the great and awesome day of the LORD comes. The key is in the word BEFORE. Rev. 6:12-17 And I looked when He broke the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth made of hair, and the whole moon became like blood; 13and the stars of the sky fell to the earth, as a fig tree casts its unripe figs when shaken by a great wind. 14And the sky was split apart like a scroll when it is rolled up; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. 15And the kings of the earth and the great men and the commanders and the rich and the strong and every slave and free man, hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains; 16and they said to the mountains and to the rocks, "Fall on us and hide us from the presence of Him who sits on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb; 17for the great day of their wrath has come; and who is able to stand?" All the great tribulation up to this point has been focused on the believer by the adversary. Rev. 12:12 "For this reason, rejoice, O heavens and you who dwell in them. Woe to the earth and the sea, because the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, knowing that he has only a short time." The short time is his last days to torment believers. |

Dear Justified, I don’t know how long you have been a Christian but for me it’s been close to 37 years now and believe me when I tell you that you are barking up the wrong tree. Someone very near and dear to you, who is a very strong believer, is going to have to die of some nasty disease before you wake up. We just lost a missionary doctor who loved the Lord and had super strong faith. He was serving the Lord with all his heart in a foreign country. He had a wife and three kids and just died from cancer that has been eating at him for close to two years now. When are you going to realize that we live in a sin sick world that God won’t deal with until the proper time? If God would have dealt with all the sin that is in the world say fifteen years ago where would that have left you? Do you think that you are going to live forever in the body that you now reside in? Everyone is going to die from something unless the rapture takes them first! Have you never even had a head cold or been sick with anything? If your answer is no, I am telling you right now that that is going to change and if you are basing your faith on that it to will be shaken to the core. God has promised us eternal life but it won’t be in these miserable bodies. Everyone that you witness to is listening to what you say and they are watching your life. The moment you get very sick your whole testimony will go right down the drain, and there goes a perfect opportunity for someone else to lead them to Christ because you have muddied up the water! I hope that you wake up before the Lord orients you to grace the hard way. In love, CDBJ |

Well Jesified, I thought that you fit under the name justified like the rest of us? This is going to be sort and sweet since I am getting very sleepy. Romans 3:24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Romans 3:28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law. Romans 4:2 For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God. Romans 5:1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: Romans 5:9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. Romans 8:30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified. I hoped that you would fit into these categories of Justified and that’s why I spelled it that way; am I wrong? Have a nice day, CDBJ |

Greetings Jesified, stop and think a minute, we don’t have anything to gain by telling you what to believe and we for sure don’t want your money; we are just trying to tell you the truth. Have you ever noticed a faith healer in later years, wearing glasses some wear contacts? That being the case they just blew their testimony even if they get a head cold their doctrinal creditability goes out the window! God can heal anyone he wants to if it pleases him and it is in his plan. One of the most spiritually gifted people that I have ever listened to is a gal by the name of Johnnie Erickson Tada, she is a Quadra pelagic that has lead numerous people to faith in Christ. I am being up front with you when I tell you that most of the so-called faith healers have their own agenda in mind. Check out their standard of living compared to your average pastor, it will literally blow your mind. If you think we are wrong check it out for your self. Titus 1:10-11 For there are many insubordinate, both idle talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision, [11] whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole households, teaching things which they ought not, for the sake of dishonest gain. Have a nice day, CDBJ |

753 | Bible to be taken literally? | Matthew | CDBJ | 106291 | ||
Hi Tim, The Bible has numerous figures of speech, as you well know. They are broken down into three groups, COMPARISONS, which takes in similes, metaphors, and idioms. SUBSTITUTIONS, using metonyms, and AMPLIFICATIONS, that are parallelisms used in the poetical writings like Proverbs and the Psalms. CDBJ |

Hello Tara1, You are using II Thes. 2:3 as your reference; please keep your thesis in context. Look what it say before and after that verse. 2 Thes. 2:1-6 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, 2That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. 3Let 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. 5Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? 6And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. The main subject is the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered together unto him. So since you used this verse, II Thes. 2:3, may I ask, is Jesus Christ your Lord and do you think that Jesus is in fact God and if not how could you explain the following? Acts 20:28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood. John 10:30 I and my Father are one. Genesis 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: Who do you suppose God was talking with? One God in three persons. Acts 26:13-15 At midday, O king, I saw in the way a light from heaven, above the brightness of the sun, shining round about me and them which journeyed with me. 14And when we were all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice speaking unto me, and saying in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks. 15And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And he said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest. John 8:24 I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins. I am sure that you believe that all will stand before God someday for judgment? Notice the following. John 5:22 For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son: Believe what God is trying to tell you, CDBJ |

757 | What was the point of the temptation ? | Matt 4:1 | CDBJ | 193168 | ||
Greetings friend, Let me see if I’m reading this right? I said, “why do you keep reading it”, and you say as a result that I’m the following; “If you intend to be a jerk again and ask insulting questions like the one you did, then keep your comments to yours.” I believe you are the one that claimed the following, and as a result you are insinuating that God’s Word is a lie on one point or the other? You stated, with reference to the temptation of Christ. “If Jesus could not in some form give into temptation, then there was no temptation. And if there was no temptation, then Hebrew 4:15 is a pure lie.” I might be a jerk but do you thank it’s possible that you might not fully understand something in God’s Word. It’s not a good idea to assume that one is right and God’s word is wrong! That might not be what you were thinking but that’s sure what you put in print. 1 Cor. 14:36 What? came the word of God out from you? or came it unto you only? Someone once said that when we point the finger at some one there are always four pointing back at us. Thanks for the personal assessment and I forgive you anyway, CDBJ |

758 | Christian Activism? | Matt 5:13 | CDBJ | 109746 | ||
Great post mommapbs, Even if we could beat the world into our little mold that still wouldn’t save their souls. We need to be proclaimers not protestors; with all the changes we think we can make, we still can’t change a person’s nature. Even perfect environment won’t accomplish that and we can see that by the fact that even after 1000 years of perfect rule in the world, with Christ on the throne, the old sin natures in unregenerate man will still rebel. Rev. 20:7-10 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them. And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever. Try as we may the only way people will change is when God changes them and they become new creatures in Christ. I’m sorry to say but most of these, so called Christian activist, are only whitewashing the devils world! The Bible has the answer to the worlds problems at that is God's Son, the Lord Jesus Christ! My two cents worth. Have a great day, CDBJ |
