761 | OUR PRIORITY TO EVANGELIZE. | OT general | CDBJ | 96111 | ||
Do you believe in I Tim. 5:18 1 Tim. 5:18 For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And, The labourer is worthy of his reward. The members in a local church, that are believers, are supposed to be the ones to reach the lost! Ephes. 4:11-12 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 12For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: I think a better question would be how many have you lead to the Lord lately? If we bring in those, to the local assembly, that the Lord has saved through our witnessing to them, then the pastors can instruct them and they will grow and witness to others and there will be a chain reaction and souls will be saved and money won’t even be an issue! Have a great day and tell someone about Jesus, CDBJ |

762 | can you be baptised twice | Acts | CDBJ | 96108 | ||
I think it is great that you want to be baptized since you have trusted in what Jesus has done for you and you are trusting in Him; go for it! Look at what Philip said the prerequisite for baptism was! Acts 8:36-37 And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized? 37And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. Accordingly, before believing in Jesus it wasn’t true baptism because we must do it the way and in the proper order that God commands us not what we assume it to be right! CDBJ |

763 | are you required to be baptisted again | Bible general Archive 2 | CDBJ | 93171 | ||
Falling away, when you stop and think about it, can happen the very moment after one believes in Jesus. Falling away is the very instant that we commit our first sin after the point of salvation but that is not to say that God has forsaken us. Can we say that our sins are more refined then someone else’s therefore we haven’t fallen away, not hardly! Go has made some great promises to the believers in His Son. Hebrews 13:5 Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. Some just take a lot longer to use I John then others, but that isn’t to say that they aren’t saved, but they are defiantly out of fellowship! 1 John 1:7-10 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. 8If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us. Now to the baptism issue; what really counts, as baptism goes isn’t even wet, as with water, it is dry and is accomplished for the believer in Jesus automatically at the very moment that they place their faith in Christ. 1 Cor. 12:13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. The previous verse is the sequel to the following verse. Ephes. 1:13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, Assuming anything meritorious, that we might do, such as water baptism, is the antithesis to faith in Christ. The key to salvation is faith alone in Christ alone and anything we might do after that is MERELY RITUAL. We can’t improve one bit on the finish work of Christ by some puny thing that we attempt to do to help God with our salvation. It is a 100 percent done deal and Jesus gets all the credit. It isn’t 99 percent Jesus and 1 percent us with water baptism, It’s all Jesus or none at all; and those who assume differently are going to be in for a real shock some day, but if God doesn’t reveal this to them they aren’t in His family anyway so why bother trying to convince them, it can’t be done! Have a great day, CDBJ |

766 | Does anyone have a good way to explain t | Bible general Archive 1 | CDBJ | 87582 | ||
Welcome to the forum pokkets, Here is an explanation that I have found easy to remember. For sake of clarification lets say that God, as we know him, has certain characteristics, not all are listed, but these ten are listed for simple clarity; again, this is not a complete list but it's sufficient for the brief explanation. God is sovereignty, righteousness, justice, love, eternal life, omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent, immutability, and veracity. God is one in unity with all of these characteristics just mentioned. Whoever has All of these attributes is in fact God. It so happens that there are three separate personalities in existence, that have All of these attributes and for sake of accommodation, they are referred to in the Bible as, The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit. They have existed Together forever in eternity past and they will continue on forever into eternity future; the three personalities had no beginning, they always were and always will be. Anyone exhibiting All of the listed traits mentioned is God, it so happens that there are only three personalities in existence that posses (All) of these attributes. God is ONE IN ESSENCE but THREE IN PERSONALITIES. God decided in eternity past that one of the personalities, the one we call the Son, would take on the form of a man and be born into the human race, his name as a human, would be Jesus. When God the second person took on the form of a man it is referred to as the hypostatic union. (i.e.) Jesus is a one-of-a-kind being, 100 percent God and 100 percent man; he was the God man. He is different from the other two members of the God Head in that he is a man. He is different from mankind in that he is God. Even though Jesus was walking around on this Earth as a man, he was at the same time holding the Universe together by the power of his might as God. God didn't see fit to reveal everything to the humanity of Jesus at the time of his first coming; an example of this would be the exact day and hour when Christ would return to the Earth to be glorified in his saints at his second coming. (PAROUSIA) I hope this will settle a lot of the confusion about what is called the Trinity, which is not a word that is actually used in the Bible, but it is a term that has been coined to cover a fact of doctrine. Every technical subject uses a technical language. Have a great day, CDBJ |

769 | Can one accept Christ but not the Bible? | Luke 24:27 | CDBJ | 86819 | ||
Greetings Radioman2, I would have a real hard time believing that a person is really saved if they don’t believe God’s Word, the Bible! I have a hard time understanding that a person is truly saved and they continue to practice in some denominations, it just doesn’t make sense. God has a protocol plan of salvation and it is centered on His Word. John 1:1-5 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. 3All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 5And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. Ephes. 1:8-13 Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence; 9Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself: 10That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him: 11In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will: 12That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ. 13In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, Psalm 138:2 I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name. 2 Tim. 3:16-17 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works. Romans 3:1-4 What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit is there of circumcision? 2Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God. 3For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect? 4God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged. This could go on in all sixty-six books of the Bible from Gen. 1:1 to Rev. 22:21!! Have a great day in the Word, CDBJ |

770 | Can someone explain sanctifacation | NT general Archive 1 | CDBJ | 86277 | ||
Greetings, The word sanctified comes to us in the Old testament from the Hebrew word QADASH and Strong’s defines it as a primitive root; to be (causat. make, pronounce or observe as) clean (ceremonial or moral) appoint, bid, consecrate, dedicate, defile, hallow, (be, keep) holy (er, place), keep, prepare, proclaim, purify, sanctify (ied one, self), wholly. In the New Testament the Koine Greek word is from the word HAGIAZO ; from Greek 40 (hagios); to make holy, i.e. (ceremony) purify or consecrate; (mentally) to venerate , hallow, be holy, sanctify. It is the same root word from which the word saint is derived. I.E. The special individuals who are the set apart ones through faith in Jesus Christ the Son of God. Have a nice day, CDBJ |

772 | why was it said this sickness is not unt | Bible general Archive 1 | CDBJ | 82953 | ||
I think that for purpose of clarification a good understanding of the word death should come into focus. The word for death in the Koine Greek is the word THANATOS and it meant separation. Example, physical death would be your soul separated from your body. Spiritual death would be separation from God, etc. It is my understanding that what Jesus was saying, John 11:4 When Jesus heard that, he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby. This sickness is not for the eternal purpose of separating the soul from the body but for the purpose of glorifying the Son of God and to show just exactly who he is. This is the way I see it, CDBJ |

773 | Is sinless perfectionism Bible doctrine? | 1 John 1:8 | CDBJ | 82138 | ||
Hello Radioman2, I can safely say that sinless perfection is as far away from me as my last breath. I still have to deal with my old sin nature in this body day by day and I must praise the Lord for revealing the truth about Jesus to me because I didn’t deserve it then and I still don’t deserve it. If it weren’t for I John 1:9 I would be in a world of hurt. In my estimation anyone who “thinks” that they have reached sinless perfection must not realize just how Holy and pure God really is. The fact that some are thinking that way to me it is a sin in it’s self. I don’t even think, in our finite minds, that we can fathom how Holy, pure and righteous and awesome God really is. Jesus is God’s standard for sinless perfection and it has only been met once in all of human history. I sure appreciate the fact that when I believed in Jesus that God imputed the righteousness of Christ to my account for my future tally when I stand before Him. 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. Have a nice day, CDBJ |

774 | Do Christians believe in fate? | NT general Archive 1 | CDBJ | 82129 | ||
As Christians “we” believe in Jesus Christ as God’s Son who died on the cross for our sin and was raised from the dead an ascended into heaven and is now seated at the right hand of God the father. We also believe everything that God tells us in His Word the Bible. Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. If you would like to insert fate, as it were, into this verse I would presume that some might call it fate, so be it. All things aren’t good but God causes those things to work together for His ultimate good. The word good comes to us from the word in the Koine Greek, AGATHOS, which actually means good of intrinsic value. Like gold, no matter what shape it is in it has an intrinsic value of X amount of dollars per ounce. Even though the shape might be bad the value is still good; fit fate into this if you like because God is still controlling history even if people don’t like it and can’t see it. I don’t know what all the future holds but I know who holds the future! 2 Cor. 5:7 (For we walk by faith, not by sight:) Have a nice day, CDBJ |

775 | I hate to appear ignorant | 2 Pet 3:9 | CDBJ | 81321 | ||
I have been a Christian since 1965 and I probably have a pretty fair knowledge of the Bible and that term, (TULIP), was new to me. I stick mainly to what the Bible teaches me and I don’t know much about religion and denominational stuff seeing that I was saved just by believing in Jesus from reading the Bible on my own with the Holy Spirit doing the teaching. Sometimes these little acronyms help us to remember doctrine but if they aren’t cast in stone, biblically, I let them go. Don’t ever be “too sacred” to ask a question, just remember the verse in Peter, this is partly how we grow. 1 Peter 5:5 Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble. Consider all things and hold fast to that which is good; prove all things by comparing all the Scripture on that subject. If I might appear dumb in order to learn something so what, who am I trying to impress? The Lord already knows everything there is to know about me, He is the one we should be impressing! Matthew 10:16 Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves. Have a nice day, CDBJ |

776 | could Christians have been tares | Matt 13:25 | CDBJ | 79057 | ||
Greetings RCSCROLL, I agree with what you are saying but only if one is a true biblical born again Christian. There are a lot of “so-called” Christians out there that are going to fall into the category of tares and they sure know how to make the proper noises. Let me share a poem that I wrote, a while back, on the subject. THE WHEAT AND THE TARES The Lord spoke a parable, of the wheat and the weeds. He plants only true believers, but the Devil sows some seeds. Let them both grow up together, you’re unable to discern; But in the final time of harvest, the weeds are marked to burn. The Angels are the reapers, who will cut the harvest floor. They’ll gather all the wheat inside, for the Lord whom they adore. There are those within our ranks, that aren’t what they seem to be. They live a self-righteous prank, and it’s hard for them to see. God’s Word declares I know my sheep, and who is of my flock. By the time they learn, it’s an act they played, it’ll come as quite a shock. It’s strange to me how some can claim, that Christ has saved their soul, Then turn and curse the very Name, of the one who made them whole! They use God’s Name in a shameful way, to emphasize their speech. For those who tempt their fate that way, this poem’s meant to reach. Is your life in tune with the Lord each day, in things that you pursue? Is he close at hand; do you stop and pray; are His blessings oft renewed? Do you love His Word; do you share His burden, for a lost and dying soul? Do you hope for Him to return real soon, does your life for Him extol? Is the future clear on your eternal state, have you a promise you can claim? If not I pray, before too late, that you would trust in Jesus’ name. If the Lord is not in your life right now, and you’re ignorant of these needs, It’s sad to say on your last day; you’ll be numbered with the weeds! Have a nice day, CDBJ |

777 | First in a tomb - important? | Luke 23:53 | CDBJ | 78978 | ||
I have heard that it was the custom of the Jews when a tomb was hewn out of the rock that the body would only resided in the tomb until it would decompose. The bones were then removed to a final resting place under ground and another corps would be placed in the above ground tomb and the process would start over. I don't know how true it is but I can understand why they would do it that way in that area. | ||||||
778 | Why did Jesus say "never again?" | Matt 24:21 | CDBJ | 78687 | ||
Greetings Taleb, Your post suggests something that isn’t going to happen the way I see it. “IF the great tribulation is yet to come right before the end of the world” The world isn’t ever going to end. Isaiah 9:7 Of the increase of his government and of peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to establish it, and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of Jehovah of hosts will perform this. Luke 1:33 and he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. The Earth won’t be as we know it today but it is still going to be here after the Lord does a restoration job on it. CDBJ |

780 | Jewish regathering completed. | Bible general Archive 1 | CDBJ | 78511 | ||
Hello PJC, I think you are right that the Jews don’t need to occupy all of the land at this time but in order for the Antichrist to make a seven-year covenant with Israel they did have to be a Nation. Daniel 9:27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate. This didn’t happened in 1948, yet they didn’t occupy the Holy city until the seven day war was won and then they took full occupation of Jerusalem. It is my firm opinion that before Matt. 24:15 can take place there must be the rebuilding of a temple where the Jews will be engaged in daily sacrifices and offerings. 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 didn’t happen in AD 70 when SPQR tore down the temple. True it was torn down but it wasn’t desecrated as it was when in the day before Christ during the time when Maccabaues lead the Jews in revolt because there was a pig sacrificed in their temple. I believe the Matt. 24:15 parallels 2 Thess. 2:3,4 as an event. 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. My two cents worth, CDBJ |
