641 | When did the catholic church go wrong? | Bible general Archive 1 | CDBJ | 26287 | ||
Hi Hank, I call my horizontal conversation speaking! It is only my vertical conversation that I call prayer, so you are out of luck!! Besides all that there is another problem, unless of course you happen to be ubiquitous, how many could you hear at one time? CDBJ | ||||||

This all sounds real sanctimonious but you still have averted the question, how do you know with Biblical proof, that they hear your prayers? I don't know of many that were any closer to the Lord then Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob not to mention David and many others: yet when the Disciples came to Jesus and ask that he teach them how to pray either those who had gone on before were not to be prayed to, or he forgot to mention them. I would imagine that in your synopsis that the later would have to be considered as the probability. My self I think that I would rather go with the sure thing and just pray to the Father as Jesus recommended. Just think, what if one of those saints that you have been praying to all of these years really didn't make it to heaven. He might be one of those the Christ spoke of in Matthew. Matthew 7:21-22 Not 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? Notice the first word in verse 22, many. He goes on to say in verse 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. They might have known a lot of saint and gone through all the rituals but they didn't have a personal relationship with Jesus and he said that He never knew them, what a shame, so near yet so far! In His precious name, CDBJ |

I am sure glade the God's promises are guaranteed so that I don't have to rely on assumptions. I would like to wish you the best of luck with your assumptions but Scriptures says otherwise, so it would be ludicrous of me to do so. CDBJ 2 Tim. 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: John 17:17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. |

I thank you very much and I might add the God has blessed me, God is blessing me, and God will bless me and it's all because of Jesus. Romans 8:32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? I think that I can safely say that the intentions of all those that have commented on this thread have not done so to intentionally offend you. I will say though that it sure gets awful frustrating at times trying to help people see the light. I think I know, in a small degree some of the anguish that Paul was suffering. Romans 10:1-2 Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. 2For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. CDBJ |

645 | what is baptism | Bible general Archive 1 | CDBJ | 26732 | ||
These people that believe that baptism is a part of salvation are still looking for a lost Gospel, that must state that the thief on the cross was plunged under a waterfall while still on the cross, because Jesus sure said that he would be with Him in paradise. There can't be any special situations with God. Acts 10:34 Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons: CDBJ |

646 | what is baptism | Bible general Archive 1 | CDBJ | 26733 | ||
Hi Tim, I sure get bent out of shape sometimes when people hash over the same things all the time, like baptism etc. Right after I sent you the last post the Lord clobbered me with Hebrews 6:1-3 with emphasis on verse 3. Hebrews 6:1-3 Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, 2Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. 3And this will we do, if God permit. I stand corrected. CDBJ |

647 | God does not dwell in an unclean temple. | Bible general Archive 1 | CDBJ | 26854 | ||
Hi ALLYSON, I have heard this myself many times and it has usually been in evangelistic in nature. The one proclaiming it always wanted those hearing his message to clean up their act as a form of repentance before believing on Christ or to show that they had. They seem to assert that in order to believe in Christ, you shouldn't be doing the big ten, don't smoke, don't go to movies, don't dance etc. By not doing these things it meant that you were a new creature in Christ. A lot of people have been turned off because of the do's and don'ts. I always found that when a person came to true saving faith in Christ, and dug into God's Word, that the Holy Spirit changed their life style around. The Holy Spirit cleans up the temple as He wants and sets it aside by His word, for His use. John 17:17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. The people that tried to clean up their own lives usually end up worse then they were before, and they still aren't saved! 2 Peter 2:20-22 For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. 21For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them. 22But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire. If they don't have a new nature all they are doing is cleaning up their own act and sooner or later, if they are not a new creation in Jesus, they will return to their old self. As I see it, God does the cleaning of the temple and it is usually a process that comes about with the intake of God's word. CDBJ |

I don't what translation of the Bible you are using but the one that I have has a verse in Matthew that say just the opposite of what you are telling me. Matthew 25:31-41 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: 32And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: 33And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. 34Then 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: 35For 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: 36Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. 37Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? 38When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? 39Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? 40And 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. 41Then 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: |

I think since she started the concept I would pursue the issue and ask her what she has to back up what she says. This will give you a great opportunity to present the Gospel to her and you can back it up with thousands of years of prophesy that has come true, the Bible. If she isn't into Indian folklore, she just might be a couple fries short of a happy meal at which case you will find out either way. |

I am a new comer to this post and I would like for you to count out the three nights that Jesus spent in the heart of the Earth. I can go along with the three day because to the Jews any part of a day is considered a whole day, but I can't figure out the night part at all; unless the ref. to the time spent in the Earth wasn't supposed to be the emphasis but something that is obscure but similar to what Jonah did. Clue me in, CDBJ | ||||||
652 | please include specific scripture. | Bible general Archive 1 | CDBJ | 33883 | ||
I will give you Scripture and keep it real simple. The word believe in just the book of John, in one form or the other, is used ninety two times; in the Koine Greek of the New Testament it is the word PISTEUO. To execute the full meaning of the word PISTEUO, as believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, as used in the English language, one must have a one hundred percent trust in the person of Christ and that doesn't mean sharing even one percent with anything else, even a rock. Did you ever read in Proverbs where it says, trust in the Lord with part of your heart and trust in a rock for the rest, or something to that effect. Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. The only time one is to believe in a rock is when that rock is a reference to the Lord Himself. Psalm 18:2 The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower. The word believe, is a transitive verb which requires a subject and an object, the credit goes to the object not the subject i.e. the object of believe must always be the Lord Jesus Christ or the Word of God. The strongest faith in the world is no better then the object of that faith! I don't mean to ruffle your, excuse the pun, feathers. CDBJ |

653 | HOW TO APPROACH THE FRIEND | Bible general Archive 1 | CDBJ | 33902 | ||
I take it from the way that your question is worded that your friend has not had a personal relationship with the risen living Lord. The only thing that your friend can understand about the Bible, and that by the working of the Holy Spirit is the Gospel. I think Paul gave us the example in 1 Cor. 2:2 For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified. John backs this up with the reason for writing the gospel that is named after him. 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. There are literally hundreds of thousand of people in churches allover the World that don't believe in Jesus Christ the way that the Bible says one must do in order to be saved. The only thing that any of us can do is explain Jesus to them and pray that God the Father will make Him known to them. A mortal being cannot cause another human to have a relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ; all we can do is give them the Word. 1 Cor. 3:6 I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. Further proof of this is mentioned by Christ in Matthew. Matthew 16:13-17 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? 14And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets. 15He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? 16And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. 17And 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. All I can say is learn all you can about Jesus and present Him, for God has promised in Isaiah 55. Isaiah 55:10-11 For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: 11So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. I hope this helps, CDBJ |

There are a lot of people that are going to get a big surprise if they are left behind and counting on what that unscriptural book of Tim L. says. 2 Cor. 6:2 (For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.) This doesn't mean after the rapture!!! What do you think, CDBJ |

Instead of having someone else do all the legwork for you try looking it up for yourself. One answer always lead to fifteen more questions and if most people understood the Koine Greek of the words used in the New Testament they probably wouldn't have ask the question that got it all started in the first place! Ninety nine percent of the time when someone ask a question on eschatology the have pulled one verse so far out of context, for a pretext of personal desire, that it contradicts fifteen other verses on the same subject. Psalm 119:160 The sum of thy word is truth; And every one of thy righteous ordinances endureth for ever. Notice that it says the SUM of; that means that all verses on any particular doctrin must be taken into consideration or added up with out any compromise on any verses for the truth of a specific doctrin to be established.

Hecameforu,you have it more twisted around then benjamite.

Could you please explain all of this? Starting with Ecc.12:12. I was always under the impression that the Bible was a combination of some 66 books; or are we not to use those after Ecc. Just kidding, and yes I am wearing out faster then I would like to admit. Hang loose Barry, don't get so uptight; I'm not attacking you maybe it's your conscience that bothering you. I am in a great mood today it must be the Centrum Silver or something actually Paul was accused of too much studying at one point. Acts 26:24-26 And as he thus made his defense, Festus saith with a loud voice, Paul, thou art mad; thy much learning is turning thee mad. 25But Paul saith, I am not mad, most excellent Festus; but speak forth words of truth and soberness. 26For the king knoweth of these things, unto whom also I speak freely: for I am persuaded that none of these things is hidden from him; for this hath not been done in a corner. I have found that a person can learn more if he doesn't push the envelope to the point where he is no longer flexible. If you think that I stepped on your toes I am sorry. Yours in Christ, CDBJ |

I think I must have bent Berry out of shape a little bit with my last thread to him, I hope he doesn't take it personal. Sometimes I put my mouth in gear before my brain is in motion but I sure don't mean anything by it. After the bout that I had with Hank about a century or so ago it has made me a little gun-shy. It seems like the only time that I open my mouth anymore it's just to change feet. Say did you catch the article the other day on Mahatma Gandhi? They say that he walked barefoot most of the time, which produced an impressive set of calluses on his feet. He also ate very little, which made him rather frail, and with the odd diet, he suffered from bad breath. He acquired a real handle as a result. A super callused fragile mystic hexed by halitosis. Is that bad or what, CDBJ |
