1541 | Hebrews 6:6 explained | Hebrews | CDBJ | 45144 | ||
Sorry John, the answer is yes, if you construe the blasphemy of the Spirit to mean rejecting the convicting work of the Spirit to reveal Jesus as the Son of God to the world. CDBJ |

1542 | Aren't the elect commanded to repent? | Hebrews | CDBJ | 45206 | ||
Hi Tim, the way I see it faith and repentance, when referring to salvation, cannot be separated because they are two sides of the same coin. Metanoia carries with it in the changing of ones mind a direction, from something to something; that something to which one must turn is (faith) in the Lord Jesus Christ as God's Son. People are converted from one religion to another every day and that won't do them a speck of good as far as salvation goes. The sad part is that a lot of people don't realize that Christianity isn't a religion it's a relationship that we have with God through his Son Jesus Christ. I have heard people give a testimony about how they were this, that and the other thing and then they found this great wonderful church or what ever, and there was never any mention of Jesus Christ in their life or how they found Christ; well I don't know if anyone else caught it but it stood out to me like a sore thumb. The worst part is that they will sit in services year after year and will never really trust in the finished work of Christ and they just assume that everything is alright because here they are in church. I have a real burden for some of these people but I don't know quit how to reach them; then the Lord will bring me back to reality with, Matthew 16:17 (KJV) And 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. Do you ever feel this (flustration), that is a word that I coined, meaning flustered and frustrated at the same time? CDBJ |

1543 | Hebrews 6:6 explained | Hebrews | CDBJ | 45213 | ||
Hi John it's me again CDBJ, if what you say is true about the sins of those that don't believe, that they aren't paid for by the work of Christ, then why isn't that the basis for their indictment at the white throne judgment? Sin has been judged in Christ but works haven't been judged yet. Unbelievers are judged out of those thing that were written it the books of works. The way I see it, everything that they did to earn eternal life will be put on the balance of justice i.e. their good works. The work that Jesus Christ did is on one side of the balance and their good works or deeds are on the other side, and they never measured up to the work that Christ performed. The believer's works, which haven't been judged yet either, will all be judged at the judgment seat of Christ. There is never any mentioned of sin at either judgment because that was all taken care of at the cross by God's precious Son. This thing that the evangelist likes to emphasize at their meetings about all your sins, and how they will all be spelled out when you stand before God, doesn't hold up to biblical proof; no sins mentioned! John 3:18 (KJV) 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. CDBJ |

Hi John, one more thing that I wanted to mention was that those that were accused of blasphemy were rejecting the convicting work of God in person by refusing to believe who Jesus was, and that can't be forgiven; later the Holy Spirit would continue the work individually on a world wide basis because he could be all over at the same time but Jesus was restricted at that time by his body, thus it is for our benefit that Jesus goes away. Does this ring any bells brother John, CDBJ |

1545 | Aren't the elect commanded to repent? | Hebrews | CDBJ | 45227 | ||
Shalom, Tim I have found out that there is a lot more meaning in the word PISTIS then there is in the word believe and I think that most that claim to be Christians don't fully know what is means to believe in Jesus. What I am saying is that there are those that believe they believe but they are not believers. I am sure you know what I mean but there are some that wouldn't have a clue. What I would like to see more of in our churches, at least in mine is a full breakdown of the Koine Greek and Hebrew words, so that people could get the full meaning of what God is conveying to us in his word. Just giving mental assent to the person of Jesus Christ that he existed isn't going to hack it and I really think that this is the idea that people in many churches have when the Bible say to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved. A good example too that most believers don't know would be when the Bible speaks about the coming of the Lord. Most would think that the word coming, (PARSOUIA), is a verb, but is not, it's a noun and expresses an event that will involve an extended period of time just like Christ first coming. What do you think, CDBJ |

Brother John, brother John: that kind of reminds me of some kind of a song; you aren't French are you, just thought I would ask? If you are meaning the balance of justice concept you must be kidding, when I read the Bible I put my self right into it and that was the mental picture that I got. As for the other parts which ones did you mean? CDBJ |

1549 | Please explain Hebrews 10:26 to me. | Hebrews | CDBJ | 97348 | ||
I am sorry that you have sinned in accordance with Heb. 10:26 by rejecting that knowledge of truth, which is Jesus; or are you just trying to tell us that you still have an old sin nature, still being in a mortal body and have need of I John 1:9?? Hebrews 10:26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, 1 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. If you are a believer in Jesus and the fact that he died for your sins, it is evident that there are sins that will be committed while we are still in this flesh. If one would stop and think about the essence of God and His omniscience, it should be clear to us that God knew every sin that we would ever commit even before we commit it and yet He still saves us. The sins that we commit after we are saved are more of a shock to us then they are to God, because He knew in eternity past that we would commit them! Confess it to the father and get on with your life! Don’t let the adversary neutralize you in your walk with the Lord. Philip. 3:8-14 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, 9And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: 10That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; 11If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead. 12Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. 13Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, 14I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Have a great day, CDBJ |

Hello Taleb, Here all along I have been under the impression that this was a Bible study forum not a study on tradition, have I been misinformed? Jesus had more trouble with those that followed the mixed up traditions of the Jew more then any other group! Mark 7:9 And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition. Mark 7:13 Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye. The Pharisees and the Sadducees were great when it came to the traditions you are suggesting but Jesus told them of their future! Matthew 23:27-33 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness. 28Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity. 29Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous, 30And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets. 31Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets. 32Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers. 33Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell? Have a nice day, CDBJ |

Hello rachiero, Just for sake of accuracy, where does is say that what Jesus was sweating, was in fact actually blood? You suggested "Jesus sweating blood" Luke 22:44 And being in agony He was praying very fervently; and His sweat became like drops of blood, falling down upon the ground. Scripture often uses what we call “figures of speech” in this particular case it is a form known as “simile”. It doesn’t say it was blood but it was like blood. Here is another clear example of a simile; John 1:32 And John bore witness saying, "I have beheld the Spirit descending as a dove out of heaven, and He remained upon Him. It wasn’t a dove but “like” a dove. Acts 2:3 And there appeared to them tongues as of fire distributing themselves, and they rested on each one of them. It wasn’t fire, but like fire; those are similes which are one of the easiest figure of speech to recognize. Figures of speech could really confuse a person reading the book of Revelation, since there are numerous different types of figures of speech in use there. We don’t all have the same grasp for grammatical assimilation. Do you get the picture? Have a great day, CDBJ |

Hello Rac, Sometimes idiots will have themselves “tied” up to a cross so they can experience what Jesus went through. That’s one of the dumbest things I’ve ever heard of, with out a doubt! With all of the physical abuse that Jesus went through it was nothing compared to the point in time when he finally screamed out; Matthew 27:45-46 Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour. [46] And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? I don’t believe that anyone could ever experience the pain and agony that Jesus went through when the sins of the world were poured out on him and judged! He had never known what it was like not to have fellowship with God, but God had to forsake His own Son because of sinners like you and me! Jesus knew in the garden when he prayed to the Father exactly what every second was going to be like on that cross and he was willing to take the wrath of God for sin on our behalf. When Jesus, the Son of God, hung on that cross He took our punishment. The Justice of God completely satisfied the Righteousness of God on our behalf, when God’s appointed Man, Jesus, hung there between heaven and earth he took God’s wrath. Praise the Lord, what a Saviour! Romans 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. 2 Cor. 5:18-21 Now all these things are from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ, and gave us the ministry of reconciliation, [19] namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and He has committed to us the word of reconciliation. [20] Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were entreating through us; we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. [21] He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. If anyone reading this forum hasn’t put “all” of your faith and trust in Jesus Christ and what he did for you on the cross, I would beg of you right now that you would tell God the Father, in your own words, that from this point on you are relying and trusting completely in the finished work of Jesus! Have a great day in the Lord, CDBJ |

Greetings Asure, It’s amazing how Isaiah, under the influence of the Holy Spirit, coined these word so perfectly years in advance of there actual fulfillment. Isaiah 53:1-12 Who has believed our message? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed? [2] For He grew up before Him like a tender shoot, And like a root out of parched ground; He has no stately form or majesty That we should look upon Him, Nor appearance that we should be attracted to Him. [3] He was despised and forsaken of men, A man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief; And like one from whom men hide their face, He was despised, and we did not esteem Him. [4] Surely our griefs He Himself bore, And our sorrows He carried; Yet we ourselves esteemed Him stricken, Smitten of God, and afflicted. [5] But He was pierced through for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; The chastening for our well-being fell upon Him, And by His scourging we are healed. [6] All of us like sheep have gone astray, Each of us has turned to his own way; But the Lord has caused the iniquity of us all To fall on Him. [7] He was oppressed and He was afflicted, Yet He did not open His mouth; Like a lamb that is led to slaughter, And like a sheep that is silent before its shearers, So He did not open His mouth. [8] By oppression and judgment He was taken away; And as for His generation, who considered That He was cut off out of the land of the living, For the transgression of my people to whom the stroke was due? [9] His grave was assigned with wicked men, Yet He was with a rich man in His death, Because He had done no violence, Nor was there any deceit in His mouth. [10] But the Lord was pleased To crush Him, putting Him to grief; If He would render Himself as a guilt offering, He will see His offspring, He will prolong His days, And the good pleasure of the Lord will prosper in His hand. [11] As a result of the anguish of His soul, He will see it and be satisfied; By His knowledge the Righteous One, My Servant, will justify the many, As He will bear their iniquities. [12] Therefore, I will allot Him a portion with the great, And He will divide the booty with the strong; Because He poured out Himself to death, And was numbered with the transgressors; Yet He Himself bore the sin of many, And interceded for the transgressors. Only a matter of time separates those trusting in the Lord from their appointed glory with Christ. Romans 8:17 and if children, heirs also, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him in order that we may also be glorified with Him. 2 Thes. 1:10 when He comes to be glorified in His saints on that day, and to be marveled at among all who have believed-- for our testimony to you was believed. Have a great day, CDBJ |

Greetings, You have some interesting point there but the truth of the matter is apart from a personal relationship with the risen living Christ the Bible doesn’t make a lot of sense if one is still residing in their natural frame of mind or the condition that was passed down to us from dear old Adam. 1 Cor. 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. Have you personally come to the place yet where you’ve had an experience in your life with the risen Christ? Has God actually assured you of eternal life yet and the ability to know the things of God that are taught in the Bible? CDBJ |

1556 | Is Jesus Gods son? | Heb 1:5 | CDBJ | 71006 | ||
Pastor Glenn, did you really mean to say that Jesus had a nature like ours or a body like ours, seeing that we have an old sin nature that we genetically inherited from Adam? 1 Cor. 15:22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. Ephes. 2:3 Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. |

1557 | Is Jesus Gods son? | Heb 1:5 | CDBJ | 71091 | ||
Jesus didn’t have an old sin nature because he wasn’t born of the seed of Adam. The old sin nature is passed down through the male seed, and that which was conceived in Mary was of the Holy Spirit. Christ wasn’t in Adam hence no OSN. If he would have been of Adams seed he couldn’t have been perfect and when he died he couldn’t have been our substitute. Romans 5:12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: This is speaking of Adam’s contaminated seed as being passed on to all of his offspring. If I remember correctly there are 46 chromosomes, which are any of the microscopic rod-shaped bodies formed by the incorporation of the chromatin in a cell nucleus during mitosis and meiosis: they carry the genes that convey hereditary characteristics, and are constant in number for each species. In the process of meiosis and polar body the female once a month throws off the contaminated chromosomes and her 23 uncontaminated ones are left for fertilization. This is how Jesus came to be without and old sin nature. Matthew 1:20 But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. Death came through the first Adam, life comes through the last Adam. Adam made a decision to get out, we have to make a decision to get in. Thus we have the new birth and we become a new creation in Christ. Romans 5:17-19 For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.) [18] Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life. [19] For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. I hope this doesn't confuse people, CDBJ |

1558 | is God and Jesus are one person? | Heb 1:8 | CDBJ | 41283 | ||
Here is one verse that you might try on for size if you are looking for another opinion. Acts 20:28 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. The blood had to be that of the man Jesus Christ because God is a Spirit. The inference is that it was God's blood, thus Jesus Christ is God! |

1559 | is God and Jesus are one person? | Heb 1:8 | CDBJ | 41456 | ||
I have read your post and frankly I can't make sense out of what you are trying to say but I will try to explain the essence of God as best I can. Just for sake of clarification lets say that God, as we know him has certain characteristics, I won't list them all but here are ten for starters. God is sovereignty, righteousness, justice, love, eternal life, omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent, immutability, and veracity. God is one in unity with all of these characteristics just mentioned. Whoever has all of these attributes, is in fact God. It so happens that there are three separate personalities in existence, that have all of these attributes and for sake of accommodation they are referred to in the Bible as, The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit. They have existed Together forever in the past and they will continue on forever in the future; the three personalities had no beginning or end, they always were and always will be. If anyone had all of these characteristics they would in fact be God, but it so happens that there are only three; so God is ONE IN ESSENCE but three in personalities. They all decided in eternity past that the second person mentioned, that we call the Son even though they are all three equal, would take on the form of a man and be born into the human race, his name as a human, would be called Jesus. When God the second person took on the form of a man it is referred to as the hypostatic union, i.e. a one of a kind being, 100 percent God and 100 percent man; he was the God man. Even though he was walking around on this Earth as a man he was at the same time holding the Universe together by the power of his might. God didn't see fit to reveal everything to the humanity of Jesus at the time, namely the verse that you mentioned as to the time when Christ would return to the Earth to be glorified in his saints. I hope this will settle the confusion, it is the best that I can do. CDBJ |
