121 | Does the bible have anything on cloning? | Bible general Archive 4 | CDBJ | 222207 | ||
Greetings Frannymay2 and welcome to the bibleforum. The Bible doesn’t use the word cloning, instead the word conformed is used; It’s God’s objective that we be conformed to the image of His Son Jesus Christ which is like cloning because one must be born again from God for it to start. Romans 8:29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. It is an actual process that God puts in motion the very moment one puts their undivided trust in the one that God sent to Earth to bring people into a relationship with Himself; that person is the risen "living" Jesus Christ. Have you personally started a relationship with God through the person of His Son, Jesus Christ? Many assume that they have through various religious act of one sort or another but the Bible declares that they are in for a big surprise when they take their last breath. Matthew 7:21-23 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? 23And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. God wants to transform our way of thinking into His way of thinking. Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. This relationship, of knowing Jesus personally, is free and open to all that are willing to seek the Lord through His Word the Bible. God promises eternal life to all that experience this fantastic relationship and it’s a free gift from God Himself, are you interested? CDBJ |

Greetings and welcome to the forum. The answer: God’s Holy and eternal Word. Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

124 | God speak to us?,if so,then why faith | Heb 11:1 | CDBJ | 222028 | ||
Greetings talklikebees and welcome to the forum. Being a mathematician has a way of putting a damper on the facts of faith; now if you were a language major it might be easer. The word faith, as we have it in the English language translations of the New Testament, comes from the Koine Greek word PISTIS, that being the root form. I will use as my example the following verse; Acts 16:31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. The word believe in this verse is the verb from the root word PISTIS and in the Greek it is PISTEUO being used as a verb. Faith or believe as it is used here is a “transitive verb” and it has an object as well as a subject. Faith in and of itself has no merit in this case so all of the credit is imposed on the object of the faith, which in this case is Jesus Christ, God’s Son. It would be like you crossing a huge bridge that is hundreds of feet high. You could place all the faith that you could muster up by crossing the bridge but if the object of your faith is faulty your in deep trouble; you see it isn’t your faith that holds you up; it’s the soundness of the bridge which is the object of your faith. Many have faith in the religion that they practice to get them to heaven but God’s word tells us the following through the person of His Son, John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. Jesus paid the price that God demands for our redemption because the fact is, we are sinners and the price for sin is death. When Jesus was on the cross God imputed our sins to His beloved Son and he died in our place; the moment we have trust in or faith in the finished work that Christ performed personally for us, God imputes the righteousness of His Son to us. How is that for a trade! 2 Cor. 5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. It gets even better; the very second we put our “faith” in Jesus, God does something else for us which is eternal in nature and fantastic in scope when it comes to confidence. I.e. promises we can claim! Ephes. 1:12-13 That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ. 13In 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, Couple that with this next group of verses and it’s a winning story for those that put their faith in Jesus Christ, God’s Son. 1 John 5:10-13 He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. 11And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 12He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. 13These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. This is a promise from God Himself and it all starts with “FAITH” in the person of Christ. I hope this helps and that you enjoy the forum, CDBJ |

125 | Praying to Jesus in Jesus' name? | NT general | CDBJ | 222019 | ||
Greetings Nextman and welcome to the forum. We are only to pray to the Father as Jesus commanded in the model prayer. Matthew 6:9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. So in essence we pray to the Father in the power of the Holy Spirit and in the name of the Son.

Greetings wejlly, According to the gospel of John the opposite it true. One’s fate is determined while they are “still alive and residing on this earth”. John 3:16-18 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18He 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. This is backed up with the following verses as well. John 3:36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him. One knows if they have eternal life before they die that or they don’t actually have it and if a person doesn’t believe this they in effect are making God out to be a liar! 1 John 5:10-13 He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. 11And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 12He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. 13These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. Harsh but true, if one doesn’t fully trust in God’s Son, Jesus Christ, there is no hope for them and these aren’t my words but God’s! John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. There are those that would argue with this fact, that’s because they haven’t experienced it yet. Ephes. 1:12-14 That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ. 13In 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, 14Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.

Greetings gramsbergen and welcome to the forum. So what is your question? CDBJ |

128 | removal of Holy Spirit | Bible general Archive 4 | CDBJ | 221921 | ||
Greetings and welcome to the forum. It’s impossible to remove God since it would be in opposition to His essence, one of which is omnipresent or being everywhere at the same time. It’s also wrong to assume that it is the church since the grammatical structure places the restrainer in the masculine gender and the church is always designated in the feminine gender. There is another solution that you might want to consider for the one that will be ordered to stop restraining during the period just before the last 3 and ½ years which is the time spoken of by Christ in the following; Matthew 24:21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. Compare that verse with this section of verses. Daniel 12:1-4 And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book. 2And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. 3And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever. 4But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased. From my perspective the one doing the restraining is the job of Michael the archangel. Those periods of time all coincide with the following when the antichrist is given free reign to perform at his will “against the elect” of God. Rev. 13:5-7 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. 6And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. 7And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. Matthew 24:22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened. I hope this helps, CDBJ |

129 | confused by Acts 2:34 | Phil 1:23 | CDBJ | 221871 | ||
Greetings MMBE, While waiting for Brad I could interject something that might help clear the air, if that’s OK? Man in his original state as created in Adam has a body, a soul, and a spirit. When Adam sinned his spirit died that very day, Genesis 2:17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. What is being spoken of in Acts 2:29 and 34 is the bringing back to life the function of the BODY as in the resurrection, when a new eternal body designed to last forever will be issued. 1 Cor. 15:23 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming. David’s body is still in the ground but his soul is with the lord. This is possible since Christ emptied Abraham’s bosom or the place of the departed dead; i.e. the ones who had trusted in God’s Messiah that was to come. Ephes. 4:8 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men. Those that died in the Old Testament had to be kept there until their sins were completely removed by the finished work of Christ. Up until then their sins were only covered and waiting for the removal, by the perfect Lamb of God, that would take away the sin of the World, i.e. Jesus the appointed one. The spirit of man is that part of man that perceives the things of God and since we all die or are dead in the spirit from birth we can’t understand the things of God. 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. That’s why man, in order to see the things of heaven, must be born again. John 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. I hope this helps, CDBJ |

Greetings and welcome to the forum. You might want to try a comparison check with the following? Rev. 4:6-9 And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind. 7And the first beast was like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle. 8And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come. 9And when those beasts give glory and honour and thanks to him that sat on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever, CDBJ |

Greetings wejlly, Thank you for the testimony. Can you imagine what the believers, in Jesus, thought as they were going through the horrors of the dark days of World War II? I believe things are going to get so bad before the Lord’s return that even believers, so called, will fall away from their churches; but “are they of us, as John would say”. Paul informs us: 2 Thes. 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; I am convinced that the Lord will put off His return to allow that last loving soul to repent and trust in the finished works of Christ before he returns. 2 Peter 3:9 The 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. The general train of thought is that the Lord will return soon, but “what if” He delays His coming and returns when things are so miserable that we can barely stand it along with all the persecution and testing? It’s easy to remain ready when things are going smooth but we are warned numerous times of a possible delay. Matthew 24:44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh. Our condition might be so dire that the following could be true due to excessive persecution. Luke 17:22 And he said unto the disciples, The days will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and ye shall not see it. This parable would certainly fit the model of our earnest prayer for deliverance in a time when the adversary could be having his way with the elect. Rev. 13:7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. Luke 18:1-8 And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint; 2Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man: 3And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary. 4And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man; 5Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me. 6And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith. 7And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them? 8I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth? I hope that the faith of many won’t fail because they had been taught that they wouldn’t suffer such things because Paul says otherwise. 2 Thes. 1:4-10 So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye endure: 5Which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer: 6Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you; 7And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, 8In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: 9Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power; 10When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day. Have a great day and “remain steadfast”, CDBJ |

134 | will we be here for the tribulation | Bible general Archive 4 | CDBJ | 221741 | ||
Greetings jaharp101 and welcome to the forum. There are several trains of thought on that very question and they are all expounded on by very astute believers in Christ, of which I hope you are one with Christ within the fold! May I start by listing a few that I’m well acquainted with? There are preterits, pretribulation, Midtribulation, post tribulation, and prewrath. All of these different views expound on the timing of what is known as the period of great tribulation and when the believers in Jesus will be gathered together with Him in the air. I use to reside in the second of those mentioned but through comparing scripture with scripture I ended up in the latter, due to endless hours of studying in the Word. Those that hold to a particular point of view emphasize their own pet verses and neglect to use other verses even in view of the fact that they all reside in God’s word; kind of like selective functioning, if you will. One hasn’t found the actual truth of any Bible doctrine until all of the scripture on any given subject is used and there is no contradiction. Psalm 119:160 The sum of Thy word is truth, And every one of Thy righteous ordinances is everlasting. Emphasis in the following verse is placed on the word, ALL! 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: Example, it’s like adding fractions. I use this illustration taken from, “The Rapture Question Answered plain and simple” by Robert Van Kampen which I would highly recommend if studying the timing of Christ’s return for His elect. One must find the common denominator, where all the verses fit, or they don’t have the right answer to the doctrine they desire to understand. 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. I hope this helps and that you enjoy the forum as much as I have, CDBJ |

135 | Resurrection Day or easter ? | Bible general Archive 4 | CDBJ | 221689 | ||
Hi Justme, I agree with you 100 percent and the fact that we call it Easter makes me bilious to say the least!!! It should be the fulfillment of the feast of the firstfruits or FIRSTFRUITS. The feast of firstfruits were the “rehearsals” for what Jesus finally accomplished in reality! The larger harvest is yet to come when the wheat will be gathered, i.e. all born again believers in Jesus the Christ! CDBJ |

139 | What should I read first? | Bible general Archive 4 | CDBJ | 220905 | ||
Hi Mary Ann D and welcome to the forum. Just starting anywhere in the Bible and reading it is like opening up a math book to geometry and trying to figure out how to do it without even knowing addition. I would strongly recommend that you start in the New Testament in the book of John, which is the fourth book in the N.T. Before you try to read it pray and ask God to reveal the truth that it contains within its pages. After you read the Gospel of John then I would then go back to Matthew then Mark and Luke then read John again before proceeding on through the rest of the New Testament. One can’t understand the Old Testament without the knowledge of the New Testament, it just won’t make sense. God wants to revel His Son Jesus Christ to you so you can understand His precious Word. I hope you enjoy the forum, CDBJ |

140 | what time was evening sacrifice | Dan 9:21 | CDBJ | 220837 | ||
Greetings and welcome to the forum. The sacrifice was at 3:00 Jewish time and it was the Passover feast which took place on the 14Th of Nisan. The Passover lamb was to be picked out on the 10th of Nisan which that year was a Sunday, the day that Jesus came riding into Jerusalem on the foal. He was literally picked that day and four days later at exactly time of 3:00 o’clock He was sacrificed as the perfect lamb of God. The next day was a high Sabbath not a regular Saturday Sabbath as many think so it was mandatory that he be taken down and buried by 6:00 o’clock, in what we would call the evening but to the Jews it was the 15th of Nisan in the morning and the beginning of the feast of unleavened bread which lasted for seven days. Jesus was already dead on Wednesday and was in the earth as He stated for three day and nights. The first Sunday during the feast of unleavened bread contained a feast within a feast, and on Sunday Jesus arose from the grave during the feast of first fruits; Jesus Himself is the first fruit from the dead. The feast represented the spring feast of the barley pointing to the fact that the latter rain feast or the fall feast was to be the wheat harvest and much larger of which all believers will be a part. All of the feast, demanded by God in Lev. 23, point to the work that God would perform in the person of His Son. The first four were accomplished at Christ’s first coming and the last three feasts will be completed at His second coming. The next spring feast was the feast of weeks or Shavuot which was seventy times seven or 49 days with the celebration being of the 50th day and referred to as Pentecost. These four feast where in the spring and tied in with the former rains. When Christ returns it will be as the latter rains and the remaining feast will be fulfilled. Hosea 6:3 Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth. I hope this helps and I hope you enjoy the forum, CDBJ |
