Hi Mack380 and welcome to the forum. What you are stating is something I have heard before but I think it falls under the codes of jurisprudence rather then a Bible verse. Have a great day, CDBJ |

We are drawing close to what is know as, Saint Patrick’s Day; I have heard stories that Saint Patrick wasn’t even Catholic, has any one heard the same, and what evidence is there other then twisted and distorted church beliefs? CDBJ |

464 | Saint Patrick? | Bible general Archive 2 | CDBJ | 115374 | ||
Yes, you are right, it isn't biblical, but it is one that was ask me of a person that doesn't know Christ yet and I said I didn't have the answer but that I knew some who probably would. Sorry if I bothered you and stepped on someone toes, I thought it might present a good chance to witness with the individual about Christ. Thank for the support anyway, CDBJ |

465 | who benefits most from prayer? | Bible general Archive 2 | CDBJ | 115721 | ||
Hello Brendac, If what you are saying is true, “we should pray the solution rather than the problem. What I mean by that is we know that God's Word is His will. So if we pray the Word that is the solution we are praying God's will in our situation.” How do you explain the following? Romans 8:26-27 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express. 27And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with God's will. Have a great day, CDBJ |

Greetings Brenda, Your reference to, Romans 8:26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. You followed with this statement, “These groanings come from your spirit (from within)but to be effective has to come through the lips.” The English word groanings is from the dative case, masculine gender, plural of the Koine Greek word STENAGMOS. The Dative case carries the implication that it’s to our advantage that He does this for us. There is no direct indication of an audible noise or sound occurring. I attend a very large church that has close to 30 individuals that can’t speak a word. They use sign language throughout the services. Are you inferring that they are not going to be effective in their prayer life because of their personal dilemma and that the Lord discriminates against them because of their condition, not being able to make sounds through their lips? God knew from eternity past, because of his omniscience, every need that any of us would ever have and just because one can’t produce an audible prayer doesn’t hinder the power of God on our behalf one bit. I’m glad we have, Romans 8:27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God. The word heart, or KARDIA in the Greek, is figurative for the thoughts or feelings. God knows what we need even before we ask. Hebrews 4:13 Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do. 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. Remember the old saying, it’s the thought that counts, CDBJ |

Hi Edb, You know more verses then I will ever know. I think it's just a matter of ones train of thought at the time and that's why we still have each other! Romans 14:19 Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another. I was just Ed ifying you, CDBJ |

A group of us from our Sunday school class went to see the Passion and I put an article together for the following Sunday’s class; I will share it with you. After the Passion then What? Believe in Jesus Christ for Eternal Life The Bible is very adamant with regards to some very popular New Testament verses speaking of Jesus, who died on a cross over 2000 years ago, and how it should affect us. What should my reaction be after knowing such a fantastic truth as portrayed in The Passion? These are but a few of the verses that speak of believing in Jesus Christ for eternal life. John 3:18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son. John 6:29 Jesus answered, "The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent." John 11:26 and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?" Acts 16:31 They replied, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved--you and your household." The Question? What exactly does it mean to believe in the Lord Jesus? The word “believe”, as we have it in the English language, doesn’t fully convey the meaning of the word, “PISTEUO”, that was penned in the Greek of the original New Testament. Example I can look at perfectly good chair that looks very strong and sufficient to hold me up and say that I believe it’s a chair, and that would be true as far as the English language is concerned, I believe it’s a chair but it really isn’t doing me any good until I act upon what I believe. To believe in a chair, with the meaning the Bible speaks of, I must realize that the new found chair will totally support me, and get up from where I am resting now and go over and turn around and plop down on it with my feet coming off of the ground; I am entrusting. I must depend on the chair 100 percent to support me and hold me up. I must put all my faith or trust in the chair, not holding onto anything else for support but the chair, i.e. totally rely on the chair to support me completely without added assistance. Faith or believe, as mentioned in the Bible, isn’t a little bit of this, and a little bit of that and the other thing. The object of believe, in the Bible, with regard eternal life, must be an undivided total reliance on the person of Jesus Christ and what he did for us on the cross! This is what the Bible means when it says believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved. It’s like the “reverse” of the old saying don’t put all of your eggs in one basket. With Jesus it must be a total faith in him alone, or it will be none at all. God has a gift for the human race and this gift is eternal life, as with any gift someone must pay for it, there is no free lunch; all we can do is accept God’s gift or receive it and thank the giver. Ephes. 2:8-9 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith--and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God-- 9not by works, so that no one can boast. Jesus paid the price for our gift and God the Father was satisfied with the price that Jesus paid, it cost Jesus his life on a cross when he was separated form God. God the Father judged our sins in the person of his Son; that was the total reason for the passion of Christ. Have you thanked God yet for what he did for you through the person of his Son? Tell God, in prayer, in your own words that you are trusting 100 percent in what Jesus did for you on the cross; that you would like him to personally reveal himself to you and come into your life, and receive Jesus as your personal Savior. Trust in God’s Word the Bible and believe the promises that God has given us. 1 John 5:10-13 Anyone who believes in the Son of God has this testimony in his heart. Anyone who does not believe God has made him out to be a liar, because he has not believed the testimony God has given about his Son. 11And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 12He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. 13I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life. Speaking of Jesus, John 1:11-12 He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. 12Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God-- The passion of Jesus was for us. 2 Cor. 5:21 God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. Have a great new life in the Lord by putting your confidence in Jesus. CDBJ |

I think you can answer you own question. First, do you consider it a sin? Secondly, there is only one sin that Christ couldn’t die for, the sin of unbelief. John 16:7-8 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: John 16:9 Of sin, because they believe not on me; John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 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. Who knows what might make a person flip out and do something dumb like that to themselves, it’s still a sin that Christ paid for. The strange part is God knew in eternity past how their life would end and He still paid the price for their salvation and if they have trusted in the finished work of Jesus, their saved Either people believe it or they don’t, CDBJ |

First of all lets get one thing clear, it doesn’t matter what I say or think it’s what the Lord says that counts, what does the Bible say? The Bible says, Acts 16:31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. Jesus died for the sins of the whole world. 1 John 2:2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. If Jesus died for the sins of the whole world then what could possibly condemn a person? The only sin that Jesus didn’t die for was the sin of rejecting Him; as a result the sin of rejection, or none belief, is the only sin that the Holy Spirit is going to convict people of because it is the ONLY sin that can condemn them. John 16:8 (A) NIV When he comes, he will convict the world of guilt in regard to sin John 16:9 NIV in regard to sin, because men do not believe in me; Do you suppose that telling a little white lie just before you die could get a believer condemned: It is a sin though, is it not? Just because someone’s sins are not as refined in your eyes as others doesn’t mean it isn’t as bad in God’s eyes; it is still a sin that Jesus died for. To dismay and shock of most the worst sin in the world isn’t murder or fornication or one of many overt acts that people class as big; the worst sin in the world is the mental attitude sin of rejecting Jesus Christ as ones savior. Just because some sins are on your list as being the most shocking doesn’t mean that it is any more shocking to God then the ones you think are little ones! God is HOLY, HOLY, HOLY. The question that started off this discussion was, can a believer commit suicide and still be save. My answer was then, and still is, a person is saved by believing in the Lord Jesus Christ, they have had a change of mind about the person and work of Christ and as a result God has saved them. There is no sin that a person can do after salvation that can negate the finished work of God, for me to say other wise would be the epitome of arrogance and a contradiction of what God has promised. Now there will be some who will say that this way of thinking is just giving a license to sin. I would say to them that they, being a believer, better stop and remember who their Father is and keep shot accounts with the use of 1 John 1:9 because they won’t enjoy the woodshed of discipline. Those that question this should consider the scope of the following. How long is ETERNAL life, until I commit my next sin, big or small? This is not a post to argue something you might not have, but I know what the Lord has revealed to me. Matthew 16:17 Jesus replied, "Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by man, but by my Father in heaven. Have a nice day, CDBJ |

All I can say is that the epitome of evil was reflected in that scene and Satan likely has his own counter fit system of the trinity; we are left to draw our own conclusions. Did you notice the tear drop from heaven in the section close to the end? CDBJ |

473 | satan in the Passion movie | Bible general Archive 2 | CDBJ | 117349 | ||
It's like I suggested, the scene was open to personal interpretation seeing that it wasn’t scriptural in it's essence, but it conveyed a thought; the presence of evil. Have you come to the place yet where you have place your confidence in the work that Christ did on the cross, that was so explicitly portrayed in the movie? I don’t see any evidence suggesting such in your personal profile? The whole movie was very moving, to say the least, CDBJ |

That is a good synopsis but it can’t be said for sure unless Mel Gibson told you personally whom it was supposed to portray. Don’t forget, it was just a movie, the actual Word of God is the only Truth! Psalm 119:160 The sum of thy word is truth; And every one of thy righteous ordinances endureth for ever.

Friend, I have been researching it for close to 40 years now and that is why I said what I did. I just knew that someone out there would misconstrue what I was trying to convey. We don’t have a license to sin but we are FREE to serve. It sounds like you have ascended to sinless perfection and you don’t need 1 John 1:9 any longer. I 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 find it hard to believe you are still in the body, nice job, CDBJ |

Hello enzax, Since you didn’t like my version, “ the scene was open to personal interpretation seeing that it wasn’t scriptural in it's essence, but it conveyed a thought; the presence of evil.” You suggested the following, which is the same thing I said, or am I missing something??? “it was Gibson's view of satan plain and simple.” I said that it wasn’t scriptural, are you saying otherwise, chapter and verse please. What gives, CDBJ |

If what you say is true, “We all go to the dead, i.e. where the other dead are. We remain so till we are brought back to life in the resurrection.” How do you, explain away the following, spoken of by Paul? 2 Cor. 5:8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. Again in the book of Revelation there are souls talking to the Lord yet without what we know as a body. It sounds like Paul must have known something that you don’t! Philip. 1:21-24 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. 22But if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labour: yet what I shall choose I wot not. 23For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better: 24Nevertheless to abide in the flesh is more needful for you. There must be some kind of an interim body that we don’t know about because they are speaking! Rev. 6:9-10 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: 10And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? How do you explain all that away? CDBJ |
