141 | How to "win the world" ? | Bible general Archive 2 | CDBJ | 110083 | ||
There is a point at which we do this in our church, besides after a moving song, and that's when someone follows the Lord in baptism. I don't know about the rest of our congregation but it brings tears to my eyes and I always thank the Lord. | ||||||
142 | How to "win the world" ? | Bible general Archive 2 | CDBJ | 110098 | ||
Often when we sing, in church, I get choked up praising the Lord because God’s grace blows my mind, that He has chosen someone like me, to reveal the truth about His Son too. I tell my wife that I think when I sing that it must make my nose run; you know the resonance and all? I always manage to pull my handkerchief out some time during the song service. You know, guys don’t get emotional like the ladies do, oops! Praise the Lord, CDBJ |

Hi Ken John, I agree with you, and anyhow, if the KJV was good enough for the apostle Paul it's good enough for us, right? CDBJ |

Hi Ken John, We use the NIV in our church and I really don’t like it. I have memorized all the Scripture that I know from the KJV. There are many other translations that I use while studying but as with many I like the roaring diction of the old KJV; it must be the English in me? Here is something you might want to check out. http://www.bible.org/docs/soapbox/conspire.htm Have a great day, CDBJ |

Hi New Creature, No translation was here before 1965 as far as I was concerned!! I was just having a little fun. Actually I was saved while reading my wife’s Bible, which was a Douay Reims version. The Lord saved me when I believed what God’s Word was telling me about His Son Jesus. I then proceeded to Bible whip my wife to death, or should I say to life, for about two months, because I had found out the truth about eternal life. She finally put, as it were, all of her eggs of faith in one basket and realized that Jesus was enough, that Jesus was all she really needed; PRAISE the Lord, He opened her eyes in an instant and God's Word came alive to her also! When I was a new Christian all I could think about was using the beautiful new sword that had been given to me, Ephes. 6:17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: I probably muddied up more water then the Mississippi but boy I sure knew what I had found in Christ and I wanted everyone to have it. When I finally purchased a KJV version it was just like putting the icing on a cake, and I still love it’s old English style although I do use many versions to elaborate on meaning along with the Koine Greek. Isn’t the Lord just precious, CDBJ |

Hi Hank, I love the old KJV but what you are saying is absolutely right. There are just some old dogs like me that have a hard time jumping through some of the new hoops. We are truly blessed with all the translations that are available. The problem with me is that I have memorized all the Scripture that I know from the KJV. I have a difficult time finding a particular verse in a NIV concordance because I’m not exactly sure how the verse goes. I have to find it first in the KJV then look it up in the NIV and the rest of the translations and lastly the Greek. You will notice many times though, when trying to explain something, if it is clearer, that I will use other translations. If the final results would bring a person to a saving faith in Christ I would use anything that is readable. It appears to me sometimes that the NIV changes things just to be different as though they are showing opposition to the KJV and that I have a hard time excepting. When I witness to someone or hold a Bible study I have to use my old KJV because I have it so marked up that I would be like a fish out of water using anything else. Maybe that isn't right but it's just me. Have a great day, CDBJ |

Hi TommyS, The translation that Taleb used is one that is used quit a lot now days, I call it the Koine English, and it is known as the NLT or New Living Translation. It is very enjoyable for just reading but it’s accuracy lacks in my opinion. It is used to reach a lot of young people though and it seems to be real effective. CCBJ |

Hi EdB, Check out the following in the NLT, it isn't even close to conveying what the Greek says. Luke 21:22 NLT For those will be days of God's vengeance, and the prophetic words of the Scriptures will be fulfilled. Nowhere in that verse, in the Koine Greek, is the word Theos , or God, used. The reign and rule of the antichrist is predicted in Scripture and I think that is the period of time referred to in Luke 21:22. In my estimation the exact opposite is in view in this verse and I think it parallels Rev. 12:12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time. I think that these verses, in Luke, are warning to believers of the terrible times that will be taking place at the hand of antichrist. If that is the case the translation could have been written as follows. For these be the days of the devils vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled. Can you see what I am trying to say? The translators of the NLT in this incidence are trying to introduce their concept instead of conveying what the Koine Greek actually said! 1 Thes. 5:21 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. My two cents worth, CDBJ |

Hi EdB, Using your scool of thought then, I guess you could say that all of the sin in the world is God's sin also because he let it happen? NOT!! I have to disagree, CDBJ |

Hi EdB, I guess that did come across kind of strong, sorry about that but the way you took it isn’t exactly what I meant! You stated, “Your right this is the Antichrist but it is still God’s vengeance allowing the Antichrist to afflict a world controlled by sin.” I don’t see it as God’s vengeance. Now how do we go about proving our points? Is God’s wrath evil or Good, from what you are affirming, with connection to this period of time in question? 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. If this period, call the tribulation, is from God then is the great flood that destroyed the earth, which was an act of God, not taken into consideration? I am saying that it will be the greatest attack of satanic effect and influence that believers will ever see and it is not the vengeance of God because believers will not suffer God's wrath. The next thing that usually comes up is that Christ was only talking to the Jews, but what about the same thing taught in II Thes buy Paul to the church. 2 Thes. 2:3-5 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; 4Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. 5Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? If believers aren’t going to be here for this evil action why does Paul waste his breath teaching it and telling us not to let anyone deceive us?? I know you and Tim have many people that you have quoted from and they also use to say that 150,000 thousand Frenchmen couldn’t be wrong too, but they were! Next, CDBJ |

Hi Tim, My mistake on your behalf about the quotes! When I have both you and Ed barking at my heels I get a little mixed up. Most believers assume we won’t go through the great tribulation because we, as believers won’t suffer the wrath of God. But if in fact the tribulation is the wrath or vengeance of satin and not God then that puts a whole new slant on things. I agree that Christ was talking to Jews and about Jerusalem but these are the signs that will determine when the deceiver will reveal himself. When satin can’t get at the Jews he will go for the next best thing, believers in Jesus. Rev. 12:13-16 And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child. 14And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent. 15And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood. 16And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth. A small portion of the Jews will be protected in a place of safety and this will infuriate satin and the believers in Christ will be next on the list. Rev. 12:17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. The faith of many believers will be shaken to it’s very foundation because they have been taught that they wouldn’t have to go through such treatment and there will be a great departing from the faith. The only thing that will stop the brutal treatment of believers will be the return of Christ at the rapture. 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. The last 3 ½ years of Jacob’s trouble will continue but the tribulation for believers will end because the object of satin’s vengeance, the believers, will be removed. The Lord will retaliate against the ones that have been causing us all the trouble as soon as we are removed from the action. 2 Thes. 1:4-6 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; Paul goes on further to describe when this retaliation form the Lord will take place and it sure sounds like the rapture to me. It appears like God will do two things at once, take us out and pour out his wrath on those that are left. 2 Thes. 1:7-9 And 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; Notice the timing! 2 Thes. 1:10 When 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. I firmly believe that the Day of the Lord and the rapture will be one and the same day just as it was in the days of Noah and the days of Lot, and this isn’t what my church teaches either! Luke 18:8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth? Sorry about getting hackles up, CDBJ |

First you show us where it says, as you have stated,"God will love you for It!!!" Chapter and verse! The Bible does say this though! 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. It looks to me like God want you to do your own studying! Have a great day, CDBJ |

Hello wordlover, I know you didn't mean anything by it, it's just a glib saying and I thought I could pull you chain a little bit. In all seriousness though, what you are asking for, with regards to all the names of those that God has spoken to audibly, could probable take the better part of six to eight hours of hard work. That’s asking a little much unless someone might have a file that they have saved with all the exact names on it. Have a great day and don’t give up on the forum so easily, CDBJ |

157 | Did Jesus have to die? | Bible general Archive 2 | CDBJ | 113557 | ||
Hi Hank, The words, it is finished, in the Koine Greek, John 19:30, come to us from the word TELEO. It was a word that was coined in the slave markets in the times before Christ. When a slave was put on the auction block the highest bidder would pay the price for the slave and as soon as the price was paid they would say TELEO, which sealed or completed the deal. Isn’t it interesting that Christ paid the price for us and liberated us from the slave market of sin and the transaction is complete? Hebrews 10:9-10 Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second. 10By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. Have a great day Hank, CDBJ |

Yes, you are right, it isn't biblical, but it is one that was ask me of a person that doesn't know Christ yet and I said I didn't have the answer but that I knew some who probably would. Sorry if I bothered you and stepped on someone toes, I thought it might present a good chance to witness with the individual about Christ. Thank for the support anyway, CDBJ |

159 | who benefits most from prayer? | Bible general Archive 2 | CDBJ | 115721 | ||
Hello Brendac, If what you are saying is true, “we should pray the solution rather than the problem. What I mean by that is we know that God's Word is His will. So if we pray the Word that is the solution we are praying God's will in our situation.” How do you explain the following? Romans 8:26-27 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express. 27And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with God's will. Have a great day, CDBJ |

Greetings Brenda, Your reference to, Romans 8:26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. You followed with this statement, “These groanings come from your spirit (from within)but to be effective has to come through the lips.” The English word groanings is from the dative case, masculine gender, plural of the Koine Greek word STENAGMOS. The Dative case carries the implication that it’s to our advantage that He does this for us. There is no direct indication of an audible noise or sound occurring. I attend a very large church that has close to 30 individuals that can’t speak a word. They use sign language throughout the services. Are you inferring that they are not going to be effective in their prayer life because of their personal dilemma and that the Lord discriminates against them because of their condition, not being able to make sounds through their lips? God knew from eternity past, because of his omniscience, every need that any of us would ever have and just because one can’t produce an audible prayer doesn’t hinder the power of God on our behalf one bit. I’m glad we have, Romans 8:27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God. The word heart, or KARDIA in the Greek, is figurative for the thoughts or feelings. God knows what we need even before we ask. Hebrews 4:13 Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do. Hebrews 4:16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. Remember the old saying, it’s the thought that counts, CDBJ |
