1421 | Bless Israel - say "God bless Israel"? | Gen 12:3 | CDBJ | 43505 | ||
Have you any idea as to contents of the book of Daniel and where Israel is in God's prophetic calendar, since everything came to a halt at the end of the 69th week when the Church age started. Something seem to be lacking in your comments and I think it's biblical support since you never use chapter and verse to back up what you say. Do you suppose that Paul was off base when he made the statements in Romans, or maybe you don't consider this part as God's inspired Word? Romans 11:15-26 For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead? 16For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches. 17And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree; 18Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee. 19Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in. 20Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear: 21For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee. 22Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off. 23And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graff them in again. 24For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be graffed into their own olive tree? 25For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. 26And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: You have some members of this forum very puzzled as to where you are getting your information, when it is contrary to obvious Scripture and generally very well known doctrine! To me personally some of the stuff that you come up with is pretty far out. You are almost to the point of talking like some of the cults that think that the Church is Spiritual Israel, or did I just hit the nail on the head? 1 Thes. 5:21 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. Very concerned, CDBJ |

1422 | Pastors same as preachers?. | 1 Cor 14:40 | CDBJ | 43446 | ||
All believers are called on to be preachers. Romans 10:13-14 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. 14How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? The word preacher in Romans is the Greek word kerusso, kay-roos'-so; of uncertain affinity; to herald (as a public crier), especially divine truth (the gospel) preach (-er), proclaim, publish. Some are ordained as such. 1 Tim. 2:7 Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, and lie not;) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity. 2 Tim. 1:11 Whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles. The word used here as well as in 2 Peter 2:5 is the Greek word kerux, kay'-roox; from Greek 2784 (kerusso); a herald, i.e. of divine truth (especially of the gospel) preacher. And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly; The word pastor in Eph. 4:11 carries a little different connotation. Ephes. 4:11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; The word pastors is poimen, poy-mane'; of uncertain affinity; a shepherd (literal or figurative) shepherd, pastor. You will notice the word (and), that ties pastors and teachers together. The word teacher is the word. didaskalos, did-as'-kal-os; from Greek 1321 (didasko); an instructor (genitive or special) doctor, master, teacher. This is from Strong's Hebrew and Greek Dictionary |

We all have our own individual problem with sin, as it were. James 1:14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. I don't particularly care to advertise mine, but I'll be perfectly honest with you I don't think that there is any sin that a believer can't commit, even after they are saved. I am not saying that is right, after all what sin is right but if a person has truly at some point in time trusted in Jesus Christ as their personal Savior through a revelation from God as far a repentance goes with faith in Christ, they are two sides of the same coin. Paul must have been having a war within him self or he wouldn't have written Romans 7:15-25 For 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. I am not at liberty to say if someone is saved or not just because they commit some sin that shocks me, God knows. Notice we have the parable of the wheat and the tears that covers such a situation. 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: 25But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. 26But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. 27So 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? 28He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up? 29But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. 30Let 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. The disciples must have had about the same question in their mind about the salvation of some because they questioned the Lord on this parable. Matthew 13:36-43 Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field. 37He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man; 38The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one; 39The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels. 40As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world. 41The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; 42And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. 43Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear. Whoever understands this fine, CDBJ |

I wonder which one of the, many named, sins that Christ didn't die for; that would be the one to that would probably cause the most trouble. When you say repent, also what exactly do you mean, and is it all inclusive? Maybe the person wasn't saved in the first place? What if I didn't know that something was a sin, since I hadn't lived such a sheltered life? Do you suppose that this repentance from sin might be a gradual process maybe, as I dig more into God's Word? Then again, what if one were to die before they learned it all? Maybe this repentance has to do more with what I think about Jesus Christ then I do myself! I hope you realize that with some of this I am being facetious, but I am trying to prove a point! The difference between liberty and license, I think, should be the Question. CDBJ |

This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come." --Matthew 24:14 It doesn't look like man will get the job done though, we seem to be getting further behind. There are probably more dialects now in all the languages then there are missionaries; there again God has it covered. Rev. 14:6-7 And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, 7Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters. |

Farout , I get excited when I study future events and the Lord reveals something new to me that I hadn't seen before. I can't even begin to tell you how many books that I have read on eschatology and all but the last one that I have been studying with have left me with more questions then they have answered. You are right when you say that no one knows the day or the hour, as Jesus stated this in Matthew as you well know. What a lot of people don't realize is that Christ didn't say anything beyond that. The disciples were very concerned when they finally realized that Jesus was going to leave, so their question to him in Matthew was very pointed as to when he would return. Scripture tells us that the Gentiles always seek wisdom but the Jew look for a sign, so that was the thrust of their question: what will be the sign of your coming and the sign of the end of the world; which is the Koine Greek word (aion) and is better translated age. It appears that they knew that the end of the age would be at the same time by their question. If you like to study from an extra biblical source that ties all of the Scripture together you might get a copy of a book called The Sign by Robert Van Kampen, It is with out a doubt the most informative book that I have ever read on eschatology, baring none. I have been through it four or five times and I can't grasp it all yet. I wanted so much to meet the author but he went to be with the Lord just after finishing the book; it seem as though the Lord left him here just long enough to give it to us and I can tell you it has been a real blessing to me. Must rush for now, CDBJ |

Eschatology has more or less been my main interest, while studying through the Bible, and has been for over the past 36 years. There have always been portions of Scripture that haven't made sense to me from either the pretribulational or the posttrubulational view and these are the only two schools that even come close to standing up to any real scrutiny. The key that has to fit for the absolute truth comes to us from Psalm 119:160 (NASB) The sum of Thy word is truth, And every one of Thy righteous ordinances is everlasting. The sum of thy word actually means the totality of every thing that God has said in his Word on any given subject combined will give us truth. We are not at liberty to pick and chose if there is portion of Scripture that the runs contrary to what we think is truth. There are no mistakes in God's Word. What might appear to be a contradiction in the Bible, is in fact a paradigm paralysis on the part of the searcher who fails to find the common denominator that causes all the Scripture pieces to fit or not fit together. I tried to show you something that I found that cleared up all of the confusion that I have had for years, by pointing you to the truth. But it seem that what you are looking for isn't the truth of eschatology but a friendly dialogue of sorts. Let me say before we started, my position is firm pre-millenniums and I use to be an proponent of pretribulation rapture but that has changed with knowledge that is backed up with truth. So you shoot out with the darts one at a time and I will do the best that I can. CDBJ |

Sometimes in home Bible studies, just to see if people are awake, I will ask, how many of each animal did Moses take on the Ark? Someone always pipes up with two, then someone will laugh; it kind of breaks the ice. I enjoy your post Joe, Keep us on our toes, CDBJ |

Hi Tim, I see this doctrine of the old sin nature much the same way that you do. I once heard it explained that the old sin nature (OSN) is passed down to us through the genetic gene structure and the OSN is in every cell of our body. This is all extra biblical but it sure makes a lot of sense to me. This OSN is evident in all of us even believers after we receive our new nature, which is patterned after Christ; we are always being controlled by one or the other natures at all times. It is an absolute, which means all of one or the other, not a little of both, nothing less then 100 percent, is always controlling us at every moment. When God is in total control of us, we are said to be filled with the Spirit. At the point of faith in Jesus Christ, or salvation, God says that he will never leave us or forsake us, but that is not to say that he is in full control of our lives all of the time. When the OSN takes over, a result of giving into sin, we are said to be grieving or quenching the Spirit. This is the reason for Paul's war in the flesh in Romans Chapter 7 starting at verse 15 on. The word for flesh or (sarx) in the Koine Greek, could at times be used as a synonym for the old sin nature. The way to get out from under the control of the OSN is to use I John 1:9 ; that puts God back in control again until we give in to our OSN. Paul got so frustrated with this that he made the statement in last part of Romans 7:24,25 Romans 7:24-25 O 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. I imagine this is probably old stuff to you! CDBJ |

Hi Joe, you just made my day! I was beginning to wonder if you were really human, but now I know you are, just kidding pal. I told you that I read all of your post. Can I quote you on this post of yours? You don't think that Moses earned a place on the ark on his own initiative. Would you consider him a time traveler? This doesn't deserve a response. CDBJ |

If Noah earned it then it wouldn't have been grace. Grace isn't something that one can earn. I am saved, and a horrible sinner, yet I found grace in the Lords eyes or I wouldn't be saved to this day! Believe me when I tell you I didn't deserve it and never will. Don't ask me why the Lord chose me because I haven't got a clue but I sure love Him for revealing His Son to me so I could trust in Him.

Raven, you made a statement in your post that blows my mind and I guarantee you that I am not a Calvinist. You said in your post, But we DO NOT inherit sin in this case "Original sin" from the sin that Adam committed. If we don't inherit our old sin nature from Adam, then who do we inherit it from, since it is passed down. If what you say is true, and babies are not born with an old sin nature, why then did the Messiah have to be sired by God Himself in order not to have an old sin nature? Don't confuse sin with sins; I commit sins because I was born in sin. I didn't even have to be trained how to commit sins, because it was in my nature! When a person believes in Jesus Christ they get a new nature that constantly wars with the old one that we will continue to have until this body dies. Romans 7:15-25 For 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. |

Hi Norrie, I think that Noah had the help of his family and the time span, the way I see it, was 120 years. This was the time that God allotted mankind before the flood and that is the basis for my thoughts on the building time. Genesis 6:3 And the LORD said, "My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, for he is indeed flesh; yet his days shall be one hundred and twenty years." 1 Peter 3:18-20 For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive by the Spirit, 19by whom also He went and preached to the spirits in prison, 20who formerly were disobedient, when once the Divine longsuffering waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was being prepared, in which a few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water. |

Since David is the writer of the Psalm is he, according to your answer talking to himself, since (you) is in the second person singular, I think not! Did you read the first four verses before you gave your answer? Psalm 5:1-5 For the director of music. For flutes. A psalm of David. Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my sighing. 2Listen to my cry for help, my King and my God, for to you I pray. 3In the morning, O LORD, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait in expectation. 4You are not a God who takes pleasure in evil; with you the wicked cannot dwell. 5The arrogant cannot stand in your presence; you hate all who do wrong. I think you better give it another shot it's pretty obvious who the YOU is. |

On second thought I think that I would rather have a nice cut of stake instead! The best stakes in Paul's day were found in the heathen butcher shops, which were part of the heathen temples in Corinth they were called the shambles.

One of my children, when she was a teenager, came up to me one day and said (Dad just what do we believe). I told her that I am not sure what she believed but I know what I believe. I know what I have told you with reference to what the Bible teaches about Jesus but how do I know if you truly believe it. There again the Bible teaches that by their fruits you shall know them. If just being born into the family of a believer did the trick, as it were, we wouldn't have the story about two brothers on the opposite sides of the fence, the brothers being Esau and Jacob. Every individual has to make the biggest decision that they will ever make in this life and that is to (personally) believe in the person of the Lord Jesus Christ as their Savior or reject him, this isn't a family matter. John 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: God doesn't say anything about having grandchildren, everyone that personally believes in God's Son Jesus, is a child of God. Romans 8:15-17 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. 16The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: 17And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. Notice is doesn't say grandfather the word Abba actually mean daddy in the English. I hope this explain my short post, CDBJ |
