681 | Gods plan to save all nation frm d start | Matt 10:5 | CDBJ | 135234 | ||
I don’t see where God is dealing with Nations, as your post might suggest, with the exception of Israel. I would like to see in the Bible where the Lord suggests what you are saying. “Isn't it God's plan to save all nations from the beginning including the pagans?” The offer of salvation is going out to all individuals but not all, as individuals, are willing to trust in God’s solution, His precious Son Jesus! It’s like throwing a life ring to a drowning man, he doesn’t have to take hold of the ring if he doesn’t want to, it’s up to his personal will but the provision is there for him. Jesus is the only provision that God has provided for mankind and we better trust in Him with all we have or it will be eternal doom. 2 Peter 3:9 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. God isn’t willing that any should perish, be it nation or otherwise, but He created us with a free will and most aren’t willing to put all of their faith in God’s provision, Jesus! To say that God will save all the nations kind of goes against the following. Matthew 25:32-41 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: [33] And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. [34] Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: [35] For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: [36] Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. [37] Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? [38] When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? [39] Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? [40] And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. [41] Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: Have a great day, CDBJ |

682 | Please read my previous question. | Matt 10:5 | CDBJ | 135241 | ||
The fact that God turned to the Genitals wasn’t a flip of the coin, as it might seem too many. Speaking of the Jews, Romans 11:11 I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy. God I his omniscience knew from eternity past exactly what He would do. 1 Cor. 2:7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: Ephes. 1:4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: It might appear to some that God has changed the playing field but I can assure you that His plan and purpose are right on schedule right down to the last second. Have a great day, CDBJ Sorry if this is a double post!! |

683 | What happened to these cities? | Matt 11:21 | CDBJ | 30977 | ||
Matthew 11:20-24 Judgment on Cities Judgment oracles against nations were standard in the Old Testament prophets (Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel); they also appear in the Jewish Sibylline Oracles before and during the New Testament period. The principle that those who had more light were judged more strictly appears in the Old Testament (cf. Amos 3:2; Jonah 4:11). 11:20-21. Jewish people thought of Tyre and Sidon as purely pagan cities (cf. 1 Kings 16:31), but some of their inhabitants who were exposed to the truth had been known to repent (1 Kings 17:9-24). “Sackcloth and ashes” was dressing characteristic of mourning, including the mourning of repentance. Chorazin was a short walk, less than two miles, from Capernaum. »Bibliography B. Seen in the condemnation of the cities (11:20-30) (Luke 10:13-15, 21-22) 11:20-24. Though it was not Jesus' primary thrust in His First Advent to pronounce judgment, He did denounce sin. Here He specifically pronounced condemnation against the cities in which some of His most significant miracles had occurred—Korazin Bethsaida, and Capernaum, all three near the Sea of Galilee’s northwest shore. By contrast, three terribly wicked Gentile cities—Tyre and Sidon (v. 22), cities on the Phoenician coast 35 and 60 miles, respectively, from the Sea of Galilee (cf. 15:21), and Sodom (11:23), more than 100 miles south—would have repented if they had seen Jesus’ miracles. Their judgment, though terrible, is less than that on the Jewish cities. All three Galilean cities, in spite of their greater “light,” rejected the Messiah, and are today in ruins. Though Jesus lived in Capernaum for some time, it would not be lifted up to the skies, or exalted. Instead its inhabitants would go down to the depths, literally, to hades, the place of the dead. |

684 | Hebrews10:26-31 | Matt 11:28 | CDBJ | 212346 | ||
Greetings, You are to the point where you know you need help and that is where Jesus comes in. The apostle Paul was the worst sinner of all and look what Jesus did for him. 1 Tim. 1:15 This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief. Christ has a plan for your life but you must totally trust Him for it to be effective. God wants to have a personal relationship with you through the person of His Son if you are willing to put you life in His Hands. Mark 2:17 And hearing this, Jesus said to them, "It is not those who are healthy who need a physician, but those who are sick; I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners." . God has a gift for you and it resides within the person of His Son. John 3:16-18 "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life. 17"For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through Him. 18"He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. Merry Christmas, CDBJ |

685 | speaks against the Holy Spirit | Matt 12:32 | CDBJ | 209872 | ||
Greetings Jack5505, What Jesus said is 100 percent correct but the question should be, what does blasphemy of the Holy Spirit entail? Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is actually refusing the working of the Holy Spirit which is taught in John chapter 16. John 16:7-9 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. 8And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: 9Of sin, because they believe not on me; If anyone refuses this work of the Holy Spirit, which is convicting the world about who Jesus is and what He did for their sin, there is no hope for them be it in this life or the one to come. 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. God tells us that we can know for sure that we have eternal life before we die and that’s by fully having faith and trusting in what Jesus has done for us on the cross. Everyone that doesn't completely trust “only” in the work that Jesus did for them is actually condemned already and they don’t have to die to find out. John 3:36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him. That means right here and now. If one doesn’t know for sure that they have eternal life right now means they aren't "truly believing" in Jesus and look at the category that they fall into. The witness in the following verses is the Holy Spirit Himself who enters the one believing in Jesus at the very moment they fully trust "ONLY" in Christ. 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. I hope this clears things up, CDBJ |

686 | Where was Jesus after His death | Matt 12:40 | CDBJ | 112922 | ||
I think the actual location is found in Matt.12:40 is you are looking for a location. Matthew 12:40 For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. CDBJ |

687 | Simon wanting to buy Holy Spirit Acts 8 | Matt 13:20 | CDBJ | 73167 | ||
Just because someone jumps through some ministers psychological hoop by walking an aisle doesn’t mean that that they are saved. I ask a fellow one day if he were to die and stand before God at this very moment and God were to ask him why should I let you into my Kingdom, what would you say? His answer was because he went forward in a Billy Graham crusade. (WRONG ANSWER) I just answered a post on the same topic and I would like to suggest the same to you if I may. Do a lengthy study on the words believe and faith as found in the Bible and ask the Lord to show you the truth that is contained in the Koine Greek of those words. The English words for believe and faith is very limited as to what it conveys. Have a nice day, CDBJ |

688 | Can tares become Christians? | Matt 13:24 | CDBJ | 157245 | ||
Greetings iktoose, I think for one to say that tares, or weed, can become Christians would be carrying the context of the parable a little far. In all reality God can do just about anything that he chooses. Luke 3:8 Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, That God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham. The fact is that the parable of the wheat an tares didn’t come to a halt until the day of harvest. Matthew 13:24-30 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field: [25] But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. [26] But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. [27] So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares? [28] He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up? [29] But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. [30] Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn. While there is yet time one could say that the tares or weeds could become Christians, as here stand I but by the grace of God. Many, many Christians have spent hours in church services before they finally trusted in the finish work of Jesus the Christ. Here is a poem that I wrote that you might enjoy. I'm not sure how the format will look on the forum? 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 great day, CDBJ |

689 | 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 exact form as you have mentioned isn’t found in the (KJV) of the Bible. You inquired about the following, “Master, is that you?” However this verse is close to what you suggest.

691 | the law on eating pork | Matt 15:11 | CDBJ | 207908 | ||
Greetings, I’ve got some great news for you! Jesus has fixed everything so well that the only thing that will send a person to hell is failure to “completely trust” in Him. “Believe” means to have an undivided trust in the work that Jesus did on the cross. John 3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. John 3:36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him. 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. Ephes. 2:8-9 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9Not of works, lest any man should boast. 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. Once a person puts their undivided trust in God’s Son, Jesus the Christ, God sends His Spirit into that person so they know they have eternal life as a sure thing because it all depends on Jesus. 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. To know these truths is to have peace with God and the blanking out of all fear of hell. Study the book of the gospel John and ask God to show you what God promises to those that believe in His Son.

692 | They immediately dropped their nets! WOW | Matt 16:17 | CDBJ | 226556 | ||
Greetings humility, The reason Peter understood wasn’t because he was more of an intellect then all the others it was because of what Jesus explained to him. Matthew 16:17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. No one can understand who Jesus is apart from the personal intersession and teaching by God Himself. John 6:45 It is written in the prophets, And they (the true believers) shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me. Have a great day, CDBJ |

693 | Which church did Jesus build? | Matt 16:18 | CDBJ | 61161 | ||
Hello Derden, the church that you are referring to isn’t an organization but is an organism. All those that God the Father has revealed the person of the His Son to are members of that church when they put their undivided faith and trust in Jesus. Matthew 16:13-18 When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am? [14] And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets. [15] He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? [16] And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. [17] And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. [18] And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. |

Hi Mike, I started the same process that you are facing when I was 27 now I'm going on 70. I can give you a factual answer. 1. Exercise the function of 1John 1:9 on a moment by moment bases if needed. That keeps one teachable so that the Holy Spirit can do the teaching. 2. Read the New Testament through at least 7 times before even attempting the Old Testament and the following will take place; 2 Peter 3:18 But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen. 3. This doesn’t come about by a hit or miss attitude. It must be study, study, study. 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. You will learn more when you try to teach others what you have learned. Find a good Bible believing church and put your self in a position where you are held accountable. I hope you enjoy the forum, CDBJ |

695 | Is this before or after the rapture? | Matt 16:27 | CDBJ | 46884 | ||
Hello Prince Charming, and welcome to the forum. I hope your name was your wife's idea? Matthew 16:27 For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works. This particular verse that you referred to is the rapture. Virtually the same verse is discussed in the following. 2 Thes. 1:4-10 So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye endure: 5Which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer: 6Seeing 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. Notice when it will happen, verse 10, When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe This is talking about what we commonly call the rapture. The word for (coming), as in the coming of the Lord, is the word from the Koine Greek, (PAROUSIA) and it is actually a noun and not a verb; it is not describing an action as a verb would, but is instead describing an event that starts with the rapture and continues through the battle of Armageddon. Just like Christ first coming took 33 years, his second coming involves a period of time for it's compleation. |

696 | Did my dad go to heaven or hell? | Matt 18:3 | CDBJ | 165443 | ||
Hi Tyrone, The answer to your question isn’t found in the life that your father lived but the life that Christ Jesus lived. Everlasting life isn’t determined after we take our last breath, in the case of one who believes in the work of God in Christ. To say for sure that a person only knows for sure that they have everlasting life, when the person dies physical death, is a satanic lie. The Bible goes into great depths to prove just the opposite and that is what’s known as the gospel or GOOD NEWS. John 3:17-18 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. [18] He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. The word believe doesn’t mean just to give mental assent to a known fact. The word, believe, in the original language of the Koine Greek means to have completely, undivided trust, in the person of Jesus as God’s Son and the one who paid the awesome price that God demanded for our redemption. 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. [11] And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. [12] He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. [13] These 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. Your dad’s salvation didn’t dependent on how he might, or might not, have lived his last few years while in this life, but if he in fact put all of his hopes in what Jesus did for him on the cross. “God the Father” loved your dad more then you could ever imagine and “He is the only one” that could have revealed this truth about Jesus to your father, even during the last few moments of his earthly life. Matthew 16:13 When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am? Matthew 16:16-17 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. [17] And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. Thou art the Christ, or the Messiah, the Messiah was the one that God would send into the world to pay the price for sin and save all those that would trust in Him. Look what Jesus told Simon; flesh and blood, or a person, didn’t reveal this truth to you, ------- “but my Father” which is in heaven. Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. Believe that God loved your dad, and He did all He could for your dad for his understand the truth about Jesus. Matthew 19:26 But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible. Have a great day, CDBJ |

697 | Is there forgiveness after falling back? | Matt 18:22 | CDBJ | 34749 | ||
Chich 60, let me ask you a question and I think you will see your answer. What sin didn't Jesus die for? I would assume that you said all sin except the one of not believing in Him. Now the fact that God is all knowing, it would be kind of silly to think that He didn't know that you were going to sin after you were saved, right! God knows we are still in these sinful bodies and He saves us because we believe in His precious Son Jesus in spite of our old sin natures. We try to do the best we can but sometimes that old nature takes over and Bang, we sin. Paul had the same problem that we all have a new nature and an old sin nature. Romans 7:14-25 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin. 15For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I. 16If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good. 17Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. 18For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. 19For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. 20Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. 21I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me. 22For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: 23But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. 24O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? 25I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin. Remember this in Romans and if you sin use I John 1:9 1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. I hope this helps, we all have the same problem, CDBJ |

Remember this in Romans and if you sin use I John 1:9 1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. I hope this helps, we all have the same problem, CDBJ |

Chich 60, let me ask you a question and I think you will see your answer. What sin didn't Jesus die for? I would assume that you said all sin except the one of not believing in Him. Now the fact that God is all knowing, it would be kind of silly to think that He didn't know that you were going to sin after you were saved, right! God knows we are still in these sinful bodies and He saves us because we believe in His precious Son Jesus in spite of our old sin natures. We try to do the best we can but sometimes that old nature takes over and Bang, we sin. Paul had the same problem that we all have a new nature and an old sin nature. Romans 7:14-25 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin. 15For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I. 16If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good. 17Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. 18For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. 19For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. 20Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. 21I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me. 22For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: 23But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. 24O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? 25I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin. Remember this in Romans and if you sin use I John 1:9 1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. I hope this helps, we all have the same problem, CDBJ |
