381 | Lot righteous? | Gen 19:8 | CDBJ | 186357 | ||
That’s all rather problematic but what happened to the question of righteousness, or is that one you would rather skip at this point? What would one have to do today to be as righteous as Lot? CDBJ |

Hi Jeff, Just to pull your chain a little a bit, what is the full meaning of called or can it mean several things? Matthew 22:14 For many are called, but few are chosen. I once heard a Bible teacher say that he about lost it one day when he ask a fellow to read Matt. 22:14 in Sunday school class and the guy stood up, who left his glasses at home, squinted at the verse and said, “many are cold and a few are frozen”! That pretty much hit the nail on the head even if the guy couldn’t see the page that well. Have fun, CDBJ |

386 | You have to be born of water and spirit | John 3:5 | CDBJ | 185807 | ||
Hi John, When one stops and think about it wouldn't it be a strange thing to include being born physically? i.e. assuming that was the meaning of water? That’s about like saying that people that have never existed can’t be born again either???? The words, “Except a man”, would already kind of put one in the category of being born physically, the way I see it. John 3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. Couple that verse with this one and it looks pretty evident. 1 Peter 1:23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. Since those that are in the family of God all got there the same exact way it kind of makes it conclusive. Galatians 3:26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. And we learn about Jesus form understanding or hearing what? Romans 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Connect that with the following, Ephes. 1:13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, I believe that the water in John 3:5 is a reference to the Word of God. The Word is symbolized by water in several places in the Bible. Ephes. 5:26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, I think there are many that would like to substitute the word water for many things other then God's Word and the gospel message that Jesus is the answer. God gives people that option: it just like in an exam question with multiple choice answers, and the wrong answers are always in there for the ones that don’t exercise the proper conversions in order to know the right answer. John 10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: He’s all I need! Have a great day, CDBJ |

387 | What did Paul do to be compared to Jesus | 1 Cor 15:8 | CDBJ | 185497 | ||
Hi John, I sure get a lot of studying done on some of those wild questions. And that last one of yours was a pip, between Luke and Paul. I had about the same problem you did with math. I remember way back when them there teachers was a tryen to teach me the “area of a circle” and one real mean old teacher, looked me right in the eye and said that pie are square, I said nooooo teacher, you have it all wrong; corn bread are square, pie are round! Just kidding, CDBJ |

388 | What did Paul do to be compared to Jesus | 1 Cor 15:8 | CDBJ | 185493 | ||
Hi John, I don’t mean to steal Doc’s thunder but if you are talking about the English language, i.e. in the KJV? It adds up in favor of Luke more then Paul by 6,576 words, that’s a hoot! Check this out if you like. http://www.jesus-is-savior.com/Bible/kjb-statistics.htm Now that’s using the best Oregon style math of course, CDBJ |

389 | what does ephesians 4:9 mean-"descended" | Eph 4:9 | CDBJ | 185489 | ||
Greetings Skccab and welcome to the forum. Thanks for answering my post but that’s really pushing this old boy to the limit trying to hold a thought for over a month; check on the far right side of post 2/20/07. The computer I have between my ears has a hard time if it gets over a week old; just kidding. If my memory serves me right, I think I was pulling someone’s chain about the statement they made about, “asking Jesus in there heart”, it’s NOT Scriptural!!! That’s like inviting the Lord God into a sewer or a garbage dump; “bad news”. Jeremiah 17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? In all actuality, a person could go through all the mechanics of asking Jesus into their heart and still “possibly” not be saved; the reason being is because they are doing something to receive Christ apart from faith in Him. 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. You probably already know this, but God’s word tells us to “Believe” on the Lord Jesus Christ, and God will have mercy and graciously save us because we have confidence and relying on the person and work of Jesus, God’s precious Son. 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: The Koine Greek of the following verse actually conveys the action of receiving Christ as being “automatic” when one believes in Jesus. One can’t possibly receive Him without believing and many get this twisted around. I use to teach that believing and receiving were synonymous in John 1:12 but they aren’t. Believing in Jesus as God’s Son, the appointed one of God automatically let one become a child of God and receiving Him is a function of God not of man. The closest thing to receiving might be construed as positive volition toward the written Word of God Romans 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. I’ve probably really messed your head up by now; sorry if that’s the case. I sure hope you enjoy the forum though, CDBJ |

390 | eph 1:4-5 what is predestination, chosen | Bible general Archive 3 | CDBJ | 185395 | ||
Greetings John, I once heard a pastor give an example on the “elect of God” but I don’t remember who it was; that doesn’t surprise though, right? He said, as I remember; there was an archway on a very straight narrow path that lead from an intersection of many wide, well worn, paths. The paths scattered in all different directions, and inscribed on the archway over the narrow, little, sparsely traveled, path were the words; “Whosoever Will May Come” The “few” that passed under the archway notice, after traveling up the path a ways, when the looked back at the archway, it was inscribed differently on the side they were now on with the words; “The Elect of God” I have no Scripture for that but I just thought I would share it; take it for what it’s worth, CDBJ |

391 | short enough | Matt 19:9 | CDBJ | 185343 | ||
Wow, Taby815, Did I push the wrong button or something maybe you could let me in on the secret; I sure didn’t mean to! If my memory serves me right, and at my age that isn’t always the case, I believe your original question was, “ WE ARE FORGIVEN BY GOD AREN'T WE?” When someone asks a question like that, they are usually looking for direction because they’re not sure and in order to give directions one has to determine exactly where they are. Now in your last response I get shot down with both barrels containing the following, and here all I am trying to do is give directions. Maybe in the end my instructions would have lined up with yours but instead you just up and shoot the messenger. You made the statement. “we are saved -we are fit for the kingdom of God. that settles it. no answer needed.” How exactly does that response fit in with this next verse? 1 Peter 3:15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear: I’ve talked to several people who thought they were saved because they went forward in a Billy Graham service. Then there was the guy who claimed he was going to heaven because he put a new roof on the church and he didn’t charge them for the labor and the list goes on and on. Am I at fault for wanting to point you in a biblical direction, which you couldn’t know because I haven’t mentioned it? Yet with out my pointing you in “any direction” I get labeled with the following. “you sir or mam do not know what you are talking about” Have a great day anyway, CDBJ |

392 | Romans 14 | Bible general Archive 3 | CDBJ | 185295 | ||
Hi Kella, I guess my last line did have a bit of ambiguity mixed in it. Let me ask it a little differently. Have you come to the level yet in your spiritual walk where you can say for certain that your name is inscribed in the Lamb book of like? Putting it another way, have you personally passed the point in time where you know that God won’t judge you for your sins? Romans 6:23 (A) For the wages of sin is death, Where exactly do you stand on this issue on a scale say from 1 to 10 if there were such a scale and why or why not?? How’s that for mass confusion, CDBJ |

393 | What is a "spiritual" act? | Romans | CDBJ | 184966 | ||
Hi acm, I don’t like to mention any names as such I was just speaking in general terms the way Paul did. Titus 1:10-11 For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision: 11Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake. There must have been spiritual actors in Paul’s time as well. Galatians 1:6-9 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: 7Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. 8But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. 9As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. If I were going to speak in generalities the way Paul did I would probably suggest most of the TBN showman bunch that stand on their experiences and feelings more then sound Bible doctrine. 1 Thes. 5:21 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. Then there is the ploy where they start marching around the stage and shouting and rolling their eyes heavenward, that always an attention getter. Or they may expound on the personal revelation that God spoke to them as though they are something extra special. They seem to always get a better connection and a clearer understanding when people send in more money. Acts 20:28-31 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood. 29For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. 30Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them. 31Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears. There are many precious believers that fall for that kind of stuff and even after being warned. Ephes. 4:14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; 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. Have a great day, CDBJ |

394 | What is a "spiritual" act? | Romans | CDBJ | 184940 | ||
Greetings acm, Taking all that into consideration when is it then that some function, as you yourself suggested, in the flesh? In other words, how can one distinguish if someone isn’t just putting on a big act in order to get money from those listening? Titus 1:10-11 (NIV) For there are many rebellious people, mere talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision group. 11They must be silenced, because they are ruining whole households by teaching things they ought not to teach--and that for the sake of dishonest gain. The previous verses said “especially” but not entirely. Do you think it’s possible that maybe some of those TV types might play on people’s emotions? They sure know how to make all the proper noises but many don’t expound on Bible doctrine and it sounds like a bunch of hype. CDBJ |

Greetings acm, With regards to you statement, “I think that when we act in the flesh it is just a act.But when we are in the Spirit,it be comes a Spiritual Act.” What actually constitutes being in the Spirit and not in the flesh and how do you know for sure when this condition exist? John 15:5 "I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me, and I in him, he bears much fruit; for apart from Me you can do nothing. CDBJ |

396 | Will people be saved after the rapture? | Acts 2:39 | CDBJ | 184891 | ||
Greetings and welcome to the forum. One of the characteristics of God is His, Omnipresent, or His all present. There isn’t anyplace that the Lord doesn’t or won’t continue to occupy even during the pouring out of His wrath. The question that one could ponder is where does the evil vengeance of Satan, through the efforts of the world system stop and the wrath of God commence. I view it as being shown in the following verses and everything up to this point, the way I see it, is only a very intensified per existing condition brought on by Ephes. 2:2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: The action about to take place in starting in Rev. Chapters 7 is something that the world has never experienced. Rev. 6:17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand? Rev. 7:1-3 And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree. 2And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea, 3Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads. Enjoy the forum, CDBJ |

Thank friend for your openion it's been fun for me and a great exercise in futility. Now I have to go figure out a way to get my eardrums fixed and figure out how to put all the fires out! 2 Peter 3:8-10 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 9The 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. 10But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

Thanks Shelly for your kind input and the cooperation. I didn’t mean to infer that it was a rule and I sure didn’t do it to set anybody off. What I said was, “It’s always easer to communicate with a person when one knows something about the one they are posting with;” I guess the quickest way to get someone to put their fingers in wet paint is to say “Please" don’t touch the wet pain. I apologize for my rudeness for suggesting such bad idea, CDBJ |

Hi Coper, Since John was the last Apostle to give us scripture; the book of Revelation, in aprox. early AD 90s and the rest had already passed away, which of the life times did Christ return in, since all the rest were already deceased; or did John miss out on the return of Christ and wasn’t taken or mayby the Lord didn't know where he was at the time? With your train of thought it has to be one or the other, CDBJ |
