1 | When were saints of the OT born again? | Bible general Archive 4 | CDBJ | 219750 | ||
After accidentally considering several verses alongside each other I’ve come up with a perplexing question. I will start with the verses that influenced my trend of thought then ask for you input. John 3:3 Jesus answered and said to him, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." (Critical point: unless one is born again) (Further consideration: he cannot enter into the kingdom of God apart from being born again!) John 3:5 Jesus answered, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 1st premise: There is a necessity of the utmost importance that one must be “born again” if they wish to enter heaven. John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life. 2nd Premise from the following verse: at this particular point in time Jesus was the only begotten Son of God. The way is open for others to become sons or offspring of God is shown in the next verse. John 1:12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name, The next verse to consider speaks of the first-born, i.e. there “will be more” but Jesus is the first. Hebrews 1:6 And when He again brings the first-born into the world, He says, "AND LET ALL THE ANGELS OF GOD WORSHIP HIM." 3rd premise Jesus was the “first of many” to come due to the use of the word “first-born” now instead of only begotten; forethought is the consideration of sons to come. (We are getting closer to the postulate and here is what I like to call the zinger.) When where the believers of the Old Testament actually born again, considering John 3:5 is a must and comparing it to the fact that Jesus was the first born among many brethren. Romans 8:28 I personally think the answer might resides somewhere in the following verse by I would like more input into the matter. 1 Peter 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, (Finally the question) Could this be “part of the reason” that the souls of the Old Testament believers were restrained in sheol and not born again until the sacrifice of the lamb of God was resurrected and the Old Testament saints weren’t actually born again until, as 1 peter states in 1:3, “be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,”? This verse should likely be included. Ephes. 4:8 Therefore it says, "WHEN HE ASCENDED ON HIGH, HE LED CAPTIVE A HOST OF CAPTIVES, AND HE GAVE GIFTS TO MEN." Thanks ahead for your response, CDBJ |

4 | Saint Patrick? | Bible general Archive 2 | CDBJ | 115344 | ||
We are drawing close to what is know as, Saint Patrick’s Day; I have heard stories that Saint Patrick wasn’t even Catholic, has any one heard the same, and what evidence is there other then twisted and distorted church beliefs? CDBJ |

5 | Prayer needed!!!! | Bible general Archive 2 | CDBJ | 128153 | ||
To all please, I just noticed that our nation has been put on a high terrorist alert, orange; which means that we, as Christians, should be on a high priority prayer alert to pray for our nation and its leaders! 1 Tim. 2:1-2 I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; [2] For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. Part of our responsibility as believers in Christ, CDBJ |

6 | 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! |

7 | 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? | ||||||
8 | 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 | ||||||
9 | 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? | ||||||
10 | Will it be our generation? | Bible general Archive 1 | CDBJ | 14776 | ||
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. | ||||||

Kin, that is a very interesting point that you made. May I ask you a question? Have you reached that point yet in your spiritual life that if, let's say, you were to die today, that you know for sure that you would go to heaven? What are your fellings on this? CDBJ | ||||||

14 | psuchikos man? | Bible general Archive 1 | CDBJ | 18121 | ||
Do you think that is the reason why I Cor.2:14 say that the natural man can't receive things from the Spirit of God, because the natural man has no living spirit? CDBJ | ||||||
15 | Body/soul/spirit? | Bible general Archive 1 | CDBJ | 18128 | ||
If the spirit of man is dead at the point of physical birth, and his body and soul are alive, how can the soul be part of the spirit, when God's word clearly divides the three? CDBJ |

16 | Who can refute reasoning? | Bible general Archive 1 | CDBJ | 37032 | ||
People have been responding on this forum with what they think is within the responsibility of those that believe, in order to be saved; the options are varied. The big ones are baptism, communion, speaking with tongues and faith with works. All of these can be eliminated by one verse or another when one uses the Scripture as the final authority. I would like to ask if there is any way to eliminate what I have to suggest, that comes from Isaiah. Isaiah 1:18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. The one thing that cannot be eliminated from the process of salvation that is found in Isaiah, is REASON! We all know that God has provided salvation to all through His Son. John wrote his portion of the gospel so that we might have life by believing in Jesus. 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. The only thing that one must include in order to have salvation is the ability to think, or as God said through Isaiah, the ability to reason. The process of reasoning is none meritorious action on the part of the one doing the thinking and the Holy Spirit guides the thought process. As long as a person has the ability to reason they can be saved. The ability to do anything but reason it excluded and that takes care of all the other scenarios otherwise God is a respecter of persons, which we know is false. Reasoning is the only possible option for the thief on the cross because he can do nothing, other then think. A person could be buried hundreds of feet under ground in a mine and unable to talk to anyone, be baptized, speak in tongues or anything else, but if they can still reason, God is able to save their soul, if they are willing to believe in Jesus Christ and trust in Him for their eternal future. Can anyone refute this with Scripture? CDBJ |

18 | The future of loved pets | Genesis | CDBJ | 19108 | ||
I don't know of any verses to help me with what I am going through, as far as grief. Someone shot my pet that I loved, very, very much and I had to have it put to sleep. Having it was such a joy and it was such a friend; it was just a little over a year old and so full of life. The Bible says that when we loose a person, that is a believer, that we sorrow not as those who have no hope, because we know that we will see them again and be with them, just as king David stated about the loss of his young son. I went to the Throne of Grace and ask for the Lord to help me with this problem and that was all I could do. There might be some that think I am very foolish about this but believe me I really hurt. Does anyone have any verses on the future of animals or at least a good comforting concept? I know from scripture that there are horses in Heaven but what else.

19 | The GAP theory could be true. | Genesis | CDBJ | 177520 | ||
We know that all true science parse, backs up the Bible and when the truth of scripture is found, it always stands in judgment of us, we never stand in judgment of it. There are those that say that the GAP theory of the Bible, Gen.1:1 to Gen. 1:2, has no grounds even though there are different concepts even within the GAP theory. Now it is a proven fact that some petroleum is found at depth over a mile deep. Now that is a great amount of mantel or earth over the top of it. It is also a proven fact that petroleum is made up of compressed decaying organic mater, plant and animal life, that's not disputed. Gen. 6:14 is the command to Noah: Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch. There are areas where petroleum comes to the surface i.e. slime pits. Petroleum is formed under Earth's surface by the decomposition of marine organisms. The remains of tiny organisms that live in the sea and, to a lesser extent, those of land organisms that are carried down to the sea in rivers and of plants that grow on the ocean bottoms are enmeshed with the fine sands and silts that settle to the bottom in quiet sea basins. Such deposits, which are rich in organic materials, become the source rocks for the generation of crude oil. The process began many millions of years ago with the development of abundant life, and it continues to this day. The sediments grow thicker and sink into the seafloor under their own weight. As additional deposits pile up, the pressure on the ones below increases several thousand times, and the temperature rises by several hundred degrees. The mud and sand harden into shale and sandstone; carbonate precipitates and skeletal shells harden into limestone; and the remains of the dead organisms are transformed into crude oil and natural gas. Once the petroleum forms, it flows upward in Earth's crust because it has a lower density than the brines that saturate the interstices of the shale's, sands, and carbonate rocks that constitute the crust of Earth. The crude oil and natural gas rise into the microscopic pores of the coarser sediments lying above. Frequently, the rising material encounters an impermeable shale or dense layer of rock that prevents further migration; the oil has become trapped, and a reservoir of petroleum is formed. A significant amount of the upward-migrating oil, however, does not encounter impermeable rock but instead flows out at the surface of Earth or onto the ocean floor. Surface deposits also include bituminous lakes and escaping natural gas and slime pits. The time from Adam to Noah was not enough time to make petroleum much less put over a mile of earth on top of it, as is the case: Therefore giving rise to some possibility of the GAP theory. I am NOT saying that there was human life before God created Adam, I am saying that between Gen.1:1 and 2, that God was preparing Earth for man, thus the GAP. |
