741 | RAPTURE: PRE-TRIBULATION OR NOT? | Bible general Archive 2 | CDBJ | 108063 | ||
Hi Rex, This theory was adopted in the early 1800’s and it basically gets it’s thrust from, 1 Thes. 5:9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, This being said, people conclude that we won’t go through the great tribulation because they erroneously assume that the tribulation is the work of God, but the way I see it, it is the work of Satan in his last attempt to distroy God's elect. Rev. 12:12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time. Satan has been trying to kill the Jews for years and if he can’t get to them the Christians will do just fine. Rev. 12:17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. This is the time, that last 3 ½ years called the great tribulation and is the same period spoken of by Jesus with reference to Daniel. Matthew 24:4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. Matthew 24:15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:) This is further expounded on by Paul in his letters to the Thessalonians. 2 Thes. 2:3 Let 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; Why all of the warnings if the believers aren’t going to be here?? It looks like general Christendom, with the pretribulation theory, has fallen for the deception ploy that they have been warned against! Have a great day, CDBJ |

742 | When were we a Christian Nation? | 2 Chr 7:14 | CDBJ | 107864 | ||
Hi justme, Much to the shock of many, there is no such thing as a Christian Nation. People aren’t saved just because they belong to a certain nation or even a particular family group. Exhibiting and adhering to Christian principals doesn’t make a nation Christian, just as doing things that Christians do doesn’t make one a Christian. Just because my wife and I have been saved doesn’t mean that our children are saved. God doesn’t have any grand children only children, and they become that way only by personal faith in God’s Son. Galatians 3:26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. This is all done on an individual basis as God reveals truth to those that have a desire to know Him. Have a great day, CDBJ |

743 | end time fire, is it real or not? | 2 Pet 3:7 | CDBJ | 107681 | ||
Hy Big Mo,God spells it out and exactly when he will do it , he is coming to secure his own , then turns the torch on those that are left. 2 Thes. 1:6-10 Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you; 7And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, 8In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: 9Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power; 10When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day. One needs to be residing in the proper camp when this happens. Have a great day ,CDBJ |

745 | Jesus as the way to Heaven | John 14:1 | CDBJ | 107356 | ||
For starters, it has to be the Lord that reveals this truth to anyone. My suggestion would be to direct them into the gospel of John and have them read it for themselves, but before they read it, tell them to pray and ask God to reveal the truth that is contained there; that is why the book of John was written. John 20:30-31 And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book: 31But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name. Acts 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. 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.

747 | In Controlling Pastor : casting fear | NT general Archive 1 | CDBJ | 107086 | ||
Greetings, The answer to your question is found in the books of Timothy. If I were you I would pour over these two books, with much prayer and if you see that there is a conflict between what is required in God’s Word and what the pastor is doing, then go to the elders of the church and see if they see it the same as you do. If they do then they should approach the pastor, straight forward with the problems, and It might come down to a vote of the congregation. If this doesn’t work just change churches but what ever you do DON’T run down the pastor!! The Lord is able to deal with him and on his terms don’t get between the Lord and His discipline you will only absorb some of it yourself. Above all things pray for guidance and direction and stay in the Scriptures. Hebrews 4:16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. I hope this helps, CDBJ |

749 | Am I wrong to think this? | Proverbs | CDBJ | 106805 | ||

750 | Why should we pray? | Bible general Archive 2 | CDBJ | 106553 | ||
Did you ever stop and think that they might not know the Lord personally, and if they don’t, the Lord won’t hear their prayer anyway; at least they aren’t being hypocrites? Don’t try to force something onto people that haven’t had a personal relationship with the living Lord. That’s like getting a shot for the flu; the virus that you get is dead and inoperative so that your body wards off the real thing. Matthew 7:20-23 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. 21Not 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. 22Many 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? 23And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. It sounds to me like they need Jesus, not just an imitation and a life style that mimics things that believers do! Sitting in a garage all day won’t make you an automobile, just because they do things that a believer do won't give them a living spirit. 1 Cor. 2:1-2 And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God. 2For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified. Feed them a large dose of the book of John. John 20:30-31 And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book: 31But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.

751 | Bible to be taken literally? | Matthew | CDBJ | 106283 | ||
Hi EddyT, I think it would be safer to say that we take the Bible at face value instead of literally. When one uses the term literally, it would be like saying that there are no figures of speech in the Bible and it is in fact actually full of them, especially in the book of Revelation.

752 | What is Faith | Gal 5:22 | CDBJ | 105557 | ||
The word faith comes to us from the Koine Greek word PISTIS with PISTEUO, or believe being of the same root word. It is interesting to note that PISTIS is a transitive verb, which requires a subject and an object; all of the credit goes to the object. Example, If the object of ones faith is defective the best faith in the world won’t help, that why Jesus must be the object of faith for eternal life. If someone is trusting in anything but Christ for eternal life there faith will prove to be defective. John 20:30-31 And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book: 31But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name. 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.

753 | Is the Bible God's word? | 2 Tim 3:16 | CDBJ | 101085 | ||
The best way to know that the Bible it true is by the way it’s predictions over a 1500 years span have come true. There isn’t a book on record other then the Bible that was written by 40 different people over a span of 1500 years and they are all in perfect agreement. One of the most recent examples of major evidence would be that the Jews since 1948 have a homeland! If people want to know where we are on God’s prophetic calendar and if the Bible is the Word of God just watch the Jews. Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Matthew 7:7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: Matthew 11:28-29 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. Jesus wants us to learn of him and the only place to do that is the Bible. John 1:1-2 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2The same was in the beginning with God. John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. I hope this helps, CDBJ |

755 | Is Matthew 24:14 almost fulfilled yet? | Col 1:23 | CDBJ | 99103 | ||
Hi Tommys, I would say that the answer to your question is, that it won’t occur until just before God pours out his wrath on the earth. Mankind will be given the chance to make a decision for Christ or the antichrist. Consider the following, Rev. 14:6-7 And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, 7Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters. The fountains of waters is interesting here, because that’s how God destroyed the earth the first time and it’s a warning that God is about to destroy the earth again, so you better make the right decision mankind! Have a great day, CDBJ |

756 | must jews accept jesus to go to heaven? | Acts 4:12 | CDBJ | 98314 | ||
Hi Tov, Welcome to the forum. It is the plan of God that Jesus would be the spotless Lamb of God. All of the Jewish sacrifices up to the point of Christ death were only a covering until God would provide the perfect spotless sacrifice, his only unique dear Son. John 1:29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. God has no other plan for man’s salvation other then through his Son. Jesus did it once for all, he paid the price that God demanded for our redemption and God the Father was satisfied with the price paid because he brought his son back to life and seated him at his right hand. Hebrews 10:7-12 Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God. 8Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law; 9Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second. 10By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. 11And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: 12But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God; The direct answer to your question, “must jews accept jesus to go to heaven?” Is a resounding yes, with no exception and it’s not because anyone says so but because God’s Word says so! 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. Have a great day, CDBJ |

757 | What is the book of Revelation 5:1? | Ex 32:15 | CDBJ | 96787 | ||
Rev. 5:1 is talking about a scroll; the word translated book, comes to us from the Koine Greek word “biblos”, which is why we call our book of God Word the Bible. One of the largest collections of ancient scrolls in the world was donated to a thyme park in Orlando Florida that describes the Holy Land. It is interesting to note that all of the seals on ancient scrolls are on the outside of the scroll and must all be broken one at a time before any of the contents of the scroll are revealed. It was usually a type of wax that had the impression from a signet ring from a very high authority, such as a King. To break a seal with out the proper permission brought the punishment of death to the violator. It is not as though the scroll is unrolled a little and then there is another seal on it, and so on. The actual contents of the book, or scroll, aren’t visible until after the seventh seal is broken in Rev. 8:1 and then God begins His destruction of the Earth with fire. The first time God destroyed the Earth was with water, the second time he will do it with fire. The of contents of the scroll in Rev. 5:1 is the wrath of God on the Earth and is not mentioned until chapter 8, everything else, the seven seals, leads up to His wrath and must transpire first. This is the way I see it. Have a great day, CDBJ |

758 | What did the disciples understand? | Mark 10:30 | CDBJ | 96736 | ||
Don’t be surprised, I’m not a bleeding heart or a little mister goody two shoes. I am a realistic right winged conservative and not politically correct. I think Jesus Christ is the only way to get to heaven and if anyone doesn’t believe in Him and trust in what He did for them they will go to hell no if ands or buts! John 14:6 I would, however, certainly consider sharing Christ with all! Even if I gave every cent I have to the poor and they didn’t understand the message of Christ and what he has done for them, it won’t help them one bit, they would end up just like the fellow that had many possessions, his eyes were on the wrong thing. There is such a thing as giving too much to the wrong people! Some people have to learn to stand on their own two feet. End of soap box! All Scripture has a primary interoperation and most have a practical application, take your pick! I thought that you wanted me to keep it in context! The issue isn’t sharing but faith in Christ and the things that hinder faith in Christ! It would be no big deal for God to give every believer millions of dollars, if we had the capacity for it. But most would only end up worse off in this life then they were before they got the wealth. Many would say, “so long God I will see you in eternity!” Mark 10:17-27 And when he was gone forth into the way, there came one running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life? 18And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God. 19Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honour thy father and mother. 20And he answered and said unto him, Master, all these have I observed from my youth. 21Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me. 22And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he had great possessions. 23And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God! 24And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus answereth again, and saith unto them, Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God! 25It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. 26And they were astonished out of measure, saying among themselves, Who then can be saved? 27And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible. I try to spend my time winning the opportunity to share the message about Jesus Christ and what he has done for those that are willing to put their faith in him! If you want to share something else please feel free to do so you have my blessings! Many of the organizations that started out helping others did so for the shear purpose of share the message of the gospel of Christ; now they have turned into nothing more then a service organization, with very little of the gospel message going out! Notice I didn’t say all! Have a nice day, CDBJ |

759 | is the devil still in haven | Bible general Archive 2 | CDBJ | 96714 | ||
It is my understanding that the devil isn’t bared from heaven until Rev. 12:12, during the great time of persecution and the last 3 ½ years of 7 years known as the time of Jacob’s trouble or the great tribulation, where he will demand the worship of the world. Rev. 12:12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time. Luke 21:22 For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled. 2 Thes. 2:3-4 Let 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. Rev. 13:16-18 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: 17And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. 18Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. Matthew 24:15-22 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:) 16Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains: 17Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house: 18Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes. 19And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days! 20But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day: 21For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. 22And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened 2 Thes. 1:6-10 Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you; 7And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, 8In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: 9Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power; 10When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day. They all tie together so that we aren’t in darkness being believers that study God’s Word as we are commanded. 1 Thes. 5:4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.

760 | Where are the houses Jesus promised? | Mark 10:30 | CDBJ | 96711 | ||
I believe that what Jesus was trying to say was more for emphasis as an idiom then an actual situation. For people to forsake all in order to believe and follow Christ carries the connotation of loosing everything, this is the keynote when it comes to faith in Christ. Jesus was trying to emphasize that your Heavenly Father is able to supply all of your needs, and then some, but we must make the cut and completely trust in Him. A lot of people aren’t willing to do this, even with emphasis on denominational ties and as a result they will never experience the true blessings of God that He intended for them, even though there are still persecutions on this side of the grave with promise of a better life to come! Just like the old song goes, “I surrender all, I surrender all, sin has left it’s crimson stain, He’s washed it white as snow”. Matthew 6:26-33 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? 27Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? 28And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: 29And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? 31Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? 32(For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. 33But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Ephes. 3:20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, 2 Tim. 3:12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. Have a great day, CDBJ |
