561 | clean body natural and spiritual | Bible general Archive 2 | CDBJ | 155435 | ||
Hello CSM, At the end of your very informative post you made mention of the following, “How do you keep a clean body spiritually?” Are you suggesting that the body, soul, and spirit are an inseparable unit? I noticed that your personal profile is blank. You sound like you are very well grounded in the Bible. Why don’t take a few minutes and fill out something about yourself and share it with the rest of us in your personal profile? It’s always nice to know a little about other members on the forum with regards to their spiritual background and such. Have a great day, CDBJ |

Greetings C.S.M., On the right side of all threads posted, just before the date, you will notice the authors name, left click on any one of these authors and you can see their personal profile. Are you saying that everyone is born with a fully operational body, soul, and spirit? Have a great day, CDBJ |

Hello mesba, I would have to say that Jesus answered that question head on with the following verse. Matthew 15:11 Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man. The apostle Paul elaborated on some thing that would fit your question as well. 1 Cor. 6:12 All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any. 1 Cor. 10:23 All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not. It would seem that anything that brings us under its power, or shall we say things that can become addicting to us are wrong. Then there are the things that don’t edify. The English word edify is translated from the Koine Greek word, OIKODOMEO, which means to build up. Anything that is going to tear the body down instead of building it up isn’t good for us even though it isn’t considered unlawful for us. I knew a fellow that smoked some of the slinkiest things I have ever smiled. I use to get on him big time about it, seeing that he was a witness for Christ. He would tell me that smoking won’t send a person to hell; and I use to tell him that he smiled like he had already been there! Once a person believes on the Lord Jesus as his personal Savior God the Holy Spirit will change ones life around and start a process that will conform the individual to be like Christ, if they person is willing to be changed. Here is the formula and how it takes place. Romans 12:1-2 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. [2] And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. The renewing of the mind takes place as we study God’s Word, the Bible, on a daily basis and assimilate Bible doctrine into our souls. I guess my next question to you would be, has God reveled to you yet the good news that you can know that you have eternal life right here and now? Have a great day, CDBJ |

564 | were the Ninevites fish god worshippers? | Bible general Archive 2 | CDBJ | 156478 | ||
Greetings Lewseal@msn.com and welcome to the forum, I was told years ago that the people of Nineveh worshiped the fish god Dagon. Now when the gigantic fish, prepared by God, belched out Jonah on their beach they were sure to give him a hearing. Does the Lord our God have a sense of humor or what! Have a nice day, CDBJ |

565 | were the Ninevites fish god worshippers? | Bible general Archive 2 | CDBJ | 156687 | ||
Hi MJH, Oh no, you are not wrong, they are land locked, with the exception of the river on their East side; in fact the Tigris River at Nineveh was 450 miles from “the†beach, by crow flight, if one could hop a flight on a crow. I shouldn’t have said, “their†beach, but “the†beach, I stand corrected. How long do you suppose it actually took Jonah to get there? News traveled by word of mouth in those days and everybody liked to listen to the 11:00 o’clock evening news. The City of Nineveh itself was a three days journey just to cross it and he was only one day or a third of the way into the city before he even started to preach. The story of Jonah and the big fish, with indigestion, was probable the talk of the town and well known, days before Jonah opened his mouth and warned them of the overthrow that was coming. It was likely weeks before he actually gave them the message from the time he was regurgitated. On top of all that he probably smelled so bad that it took over a week to just to get the smell off so people could get close enough to hear him. It would probably be a sure bet that they knew he was the one that came out of the big fish due to all of the cats following him. My scenario, “You can preach to us Jonah but do you mind staying a little down wind, and we think we know why all of those cats are following you, and did that really happen to you?†Jonah 3:2-4 Arise, go unto Nineveh, that great city, and preach unto it the preaching that I bid thee. [3] So Jonah arose, and went unto Nineveh, according to the word of the Lord. Now Nineveh was an exceeding great city of three days' journey. [4] And Jonah began to enter into the city a day's journey, and he cried, and said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown. Have a great day and take a kid fishing, CDBJ |

566 | WHEN DID GOD CHANGE LIFESPAN OF MAN? | Bible general Archive 1 | CDBJ | 14359 | ||
The verse in Gen.6:3 isn't how long man will live, but a warninig that man only had 120 years left before God would destroy man and the Earth. Don't take text out of contex! Read the rest of the chapter. CDBJ | ||||||
567 | salvation/baptism | Bible general Archive 1 | CDBJ | 14368 | ||
Yes, baptism is required, but it is not what you think. All believers have received the bapt. of the Spirit and that is the one that counts. There are wet baptisms and dry ones, The wet ones are only ritual, the dry ones are real. Christ will baptize every one in a point of time. This will be with the Holy Spirit, when a person puts there faith in Jesus as there Savior or the other option: That is if a person rejects the work of Jesus an dies, he will receive the baptism of fire; Take your pick, (smoking or non smoking) Look at Matt.3:11,12 where John was speaking to the general public. Look at Eph.4:3-6 This speaks of unity and mentions "one" baptism. It is unity because it is done for us by Christ. Water baptism has caused division not unity. Don't worry about the bapt. of the Spirit, God handles that for us. That's one more thing that calls for trust in Him. Water bapt. is an outward expression on our part that we have believed in the finish work of Christ. The order is, believe and be baptized, as a witness to the World of your position in Christ. I hope this helps, CDBJ | ||||||
568 | Curious of your perspective. | Bible general Archive 1 | CDBJ | 14451 | ||
There are no direct answers to your question, only speculation. This is one of those questions like who did Cain take for a wife. We are commanded not to argue over vain genealogies that onyl lead to endless disputes. As for your question though, the most accepted answer to it, with out Biblical proof, is this. Before the flood there had not been mention of any rain. There was no mention of bacteria, or the results of it till after the flood. Noah drank some nice grape juice that he had made. The only problem was it became what we call fermented from the bacteria that was now present all over the World due to the flood. The bacteria must have been isolated till that time. Hence the spread of germs and mans life span goes down. This problem will go away when Jesus set up His Kingdom on Earth during the 1000 year Millenium. As a result mans life span is said to go back up. Praise The Lord again!! CDBJ |

569 | How can Christ return be imminent? | Bible general Archive 1 | CDBJ | 14558 | ||
I would like to know where in the Bible, that it refers to the return of Christ as being imminent? i.e. There is no prophesy of Scripture to be fulfilled before Jesus returns! |

570 | Question still not answered | Bible general Archive 1 | CDBJ | 14564 | ||
I am glad that you are ready and I am also, but this doesn't answer my Question! Quickley just say how He will do it, when He does it, as 1900 plus years have proven. What about the whole chapter of Matt.24: This must take place first? | ||||||
571 | Question still not answered | Bible general Archive 1 | CDBJ | 14593 | ||
According to Scripture, Matt. 24:15 is the beginning of the great tribulation for believers in the World. This time will be cut short by the rapture. | ||||||
572 | Like a thief to who? | Bible general Archive 1 | CDBJ | 14617 | ||
Do you understand it to say that He will come like a thief for the believers? CDBJ | ||||||
573 | How can Christ return be imminent? | Bible general Archive 1 | CDBJ | 14619 | ||
I agree in part, but it only says "DAY and HOUR", or are you reading more into it then that? It seem to me that there was mention of a season some place, and that we would know when certain things start to happen, only then will the time be near. One sign being that the Jews would be back in there land occupying the Holy city. Now if that is the case, that means that Christ couldn't have returned untill after 1967. I.E. So much for imminency! |

To Tim--There are supposedly three groups that all believers fall into, Pretribulationist, Posttribulationist, and Prewrath. The only one that I have seen that doesn't have contradiction with Scripture is the prewrath position. When it come to a discrepancy in the timing of Christ return. All scripture on a particular subject have to be in line with each other for the result to be truth. Psalm 119:160 The sum of Your word is truth, (New American Standard) CDBJ | ||||||
575 | Like a thief to who? | Bible general Archive 1 | CDBJ | 14645 | ||
To Bannal--How do you deal with what Paul wrote in I Thessalonians 5:1-4 Where there are two groups of people mentioned, They and Ye; the unbelievers being they, and the believers being the ye. Paul say that belivers are not in darkness that the day of the Lord will overtake them like a thief. The reason being that there are signs that have been given to belivers to look for just before the Lord returns. Paul had drummed it into there heads so much that he says in 5:1 that you have no need that I write you. Maybe there is something in the doctrin of the Lord's return that you are not clear on? Unbelievers don't know enough to see or look for the signs, that's why Christ will come as a thief to them. The Disciples ask the question in Matt. 24:3 Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and the end of the world (age)? The very next verse is a warning from Christ not to let any man deceive you. The whole chapt. of Matt.24: has a comparative account in The Revelation of Christ. Look these up. (Matt.24:4 cf. Rev. 22:19 warning) (Matt.24:5 cf. Rev.6:1-2 false Christ) (Matt.24:6 cf. Rev.6:3-4 wars) (Matt.24:9,21 cf. Rev.6:7,8 The Great Trib.) (Matt.24:9,22 cf. Rev.6:9 death) (Matt.24:10,24 cf. Rev. Apostasy) (Matt.24:29 cf. Rev. 6:12-17 Sun moon and stars) (Matt.24:13,31 Cf. Rev.7:9-14 The rapture) (Matt.24:14,37-39 cf. Rev.8:1-7 The wrath of God) I hope this helps! CDBJ | ||||||
576 | Will believers see great tribulation? | Bible general Archive 1 | CDBJ | 14741 | ||
This is true, but things are going to get so bad that believers are going to be longing for the day of the Lord and they won't see it. Why do you think Christ said "Will I find faith when I come?" Believers are so sure that the won't go through any tribulattion, that when it comes there faith is going to be shattered!! Many times in scripture when it is talking about end time events, God has warned us not to let anyone deceive us. If we are removed before all this happens, why would He give us the warnings to watch out for deceivers? | ||||||
577 | Will believers see great tribulation? | Bible general Archive 1 | CDBJ | 14759 | ||
I believe the Bible to mean what it says in it's most normal, natural, customary sense, taking into account that there are figures of speech. That in order to find the truth of doctrin, all scripture pertaining to a particular doctrin must be used, and there are no contradiction found in truth. I believe God's Word is infallible and that is why I ask in the first place, where do people find the imminency of the rapture in Scripture? I realize the word isn't in the Bible, but I find so much in opposition to it, that the consept it's even there, with all thing considered. You can't make up a doctrin from what it doesn't say. As you said, there are pretrib.,midtrib., and posttrib., they can't all be right. Yet all use the Bible to back up there position. There must be a common denominator that all the verses fit. We are a forum, lets find it! I don't want to be argumentative; I want the truth to prevail. We have more helps at our disposal then any other time in history. Who knows the truth of the timing of Christ return? CDBJ | ||||||
578 | Will believers see great tribulation? | Bible general Archive 1 | CDBJ | 14771 | ||
Steve--I like your pat answer, that you want to be ready. Do you honestly know any true believers who don't want to be? I was looking for an answer from someone who is interested and knowledgeable about eschatology. As for Rev. 22:20, the word you call soon, is the Greek word (tachu), and is better translated quickley. Meaning when it all starts, it will be over very fast. This verb is discriptive of (how) not (when). Say like in, "the twinkling of an eye". God says it will happen, and as a result, I know for a fact it will happen. I don't want to be ready, that's future, I am ready. Since you mention Matt. 24:31, it is evident that you think He is comming to take us home after the tribulation, or didn't you read Matt.24:29,30? Keep studying! CDBJ | ||||||

Are you ready for Matt.24:15 The abomination of desolation. Hitler was easy compaired to how this guy is going to treat the elect. This isn't God's wrath that believers will be going through, but Satan's, that why we will be longing for Christ return. Tell me how believers are longing for Christ return while riding around on waterskis on a nice 80 degree day after enjoying a nice lunch fixed on a shore fire. Or maybe it will be the one who just saw his best friend get his head cut off because he was telling a lost neighbor about Christ and even then it was on an empty stomach because he couldn't buy food to eat with out a certain mark! That's how it's going to be different. People sure arn't getting this message today and as a result when it happens believers won't be ready. They that endure till the end shall be delivered by the rapture not before. In fact it is going to be so bad that the Lord will shorten those day for the elects sake. Knowing what to look will make it a lot easier. | ||||||

Well it seems that the Lord has a different idea, that's why there is more on the end time events in the Bible then any other doctrin. Every thing you mentioned is very commendable but the subject wasn't on Christian service. Keep up the good work it sounds like a motivation of love. I read the FOXE'S BOOK OF MARTYRS about 30 years ago that edition was enough for me. Have you ever read a book called, THE SIGN by Robert VanKampen, it is a real eye opener? CDBJ | ||||||
