1541 | How is the end really going to happen? | Bible general Archive 1 | CDBJ | 33905 | ||
There are a lot of people that are going to get a big surprise if they are left behind and counting on what that unscriptural book of Tim L. says. 2 Cor. 6:2 (For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.) This doesn't mean after the rapture!!! What do you think, CDBJ |

I am a new comer to this post and I would like for you to count out the three nights that Jesus spent in the heart of the Earth. I can go along with the three day because to the Jews any part of a day is considered a whole day, but I can't figure out the night part at all; unless the ref. to the time spent in the Earth wasn't supposed to be the emphasis but something that is obscure but similar to what Jonah did. Clue me in, CDBJ | ||||||

I don't what translation of the Bible you are using but the one that I have has a verse in Matthew that say just the opposite of what you are telling me. Matthew 25:31-41 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: 32And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: 33And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. 34Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: 35For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: 36Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. 37Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? 38When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? 39Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? 40And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. 41Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: |

1544 | Creating converts to Islam? | 1 Cor 1:12 | CDBJ | 33311 | ||
Joe, my wife found the truth about Jesus in spite of spending all of her years of growing up in Catholic schools and attending the Catholic church. The true church of Christ isn't an organization it is an organism and only those that have been born into God's family are genuine members. It is impossible to convince those that aren't members that they that they don't really belong, but once the Holy Spirit does his work the change is phenomenal to say the least. But this doesn't happen unless the one in question gives up everything that they are trusting in and turns to Jesus for full assurance! | ||||||
1545 | "Born-again Christian" redundant? | John 3:3 | CDBJ | 33041 | ||
I agree with you 100 percent as to what a Christian is. The term born again Christian is largely use to differentiate from those that supposedly think that they are Christian because they go to church. Many assume that they are Christians because they were water baptized at a point in time or just because they believe in God. I like to tie in the words born again with Christian just to eliminate any false concepts. It is interesting to note that the name Christian was what others called the disciples; they didn't call themselves that. Acts 11:26 And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch. Today if the average so-called Christian were to be arrested for being a follower Jesus, I wonder if they could find enough evidence for a conviction ? People can talk about God and religion all they want but when they bring up the name Jesus Christ right away they are politically incorrect. You can sure tell whose World it is! |

1546 | "Born-again Christian" redundant? | John 3:3 | CDBJ | 33008 | ||
Hi hank, we haven't communicated for quite some time now. I have been doing a lot of reading and I must say I think you hit the nail right on the head with regard to water. It would be rather redundant for Christ to say that a man must be born physically and that is what is meant by water. If the water means physical birth that would leave out a couple very important people of the human race, Adam and Eve. The water as I see it is a figure of speech with reference to God's Word, for with out God's Word one cannot be born of the Spirit. So that makes God's word, an absolute must. John 17:17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. The word sanctify is HAGIASON the same root word that is used of the Saints. When one is born again he is sanctified or made a saint through God's word. Ephes. 5:26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, Couple this with Titus 3:5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; This verse gives further emphasis to the fact of the water being God's Word the Bible. Those that would insist that this is water baptism are violating Titus 3:5 on two counts and truth be known they are probably not born again themselves in the first place. For by grace through faith, plus nothing; or it's not grace, it is righteousness, which we have done and that includes water baptism, as something we do. There will be those that will be saved in spite of water baptism not because of it. What do you think, CDBJ |

1547 | Is 'once saved always saved correct? | John 6:37 | CDBJ | 31435 | ||
Where, after reading the New Testament, do you come up with the idea that there is still the functioning of a priesthood, as mediators? Why do you think that the curtain in the temple was torn from top to bottom? That was the end of the earthly priesthood and God Himself did the tearing to show us that the way to Him was open now because of the work of His Son Jesus! Mark 15:38 And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom. True believers in God through Jesus Christ don't need a priest as a mediator, that's why we have Jesus. 1 Tim. 2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; As sons we can go directly to our Fathers Throne we don't need a man here on earth to intercede for us; we have a priest in heaven that can't be topped. Hebrews 4:14-16 Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. 15For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. 16Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. There are a lot of people on this forum that better drop the religion stuff and get with God's program or one of these day it will be too late. Everyone that God has called out of darkness and into His light is a member of a royal priesthood. 1 Peter 2:9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: As far as having the power to remit, sin as mentioned in John 20:19-23, every born again believer has the ability to do this with the power of the Gospel, and if those that hear the Gospel to reject it then their sins are retained. Their sins are retained if they try to add to or take away from the Gospel. It's all Jesus and nothing else; faith in Him plus nothing!!! In love, CDBJ |

1549 | What happened to these cities? | Matt 11:21 | CDBJ | 31073 | ||
This is all that I could find and it is from the International Std. Bible Enc. CHORAZIN (, , Matthew 11:21; , , Luke 10:13; Westcott and Hort, The New Testament in Greek , ): A city whose name appears only in the woe pronounced against it by Christ (Matthew 11:21; Luke 10:13). Its appearance there, however, shows that it must have been a place of some importance, and highly privileged by the ministry of Jesus. It was already deserted in the time of Eusebius, who places it 2 miles from Capernaum (Onomasticon, under the word). We can hardly doubt that it is represented by the extensive ruins of Kerazeh, on the heights to the north of Tell Chum. It is utterly desolate: a few carved stones being seen among the heaps. There are traces of a Roman road which connected the ancient city with the great highway between north and south which touched the lake shore at . |

1550 | Witnessing our faith to non-believers? | Rom 10:9 | CDBJ | 30210 | ||
Tell you son-in-law to get the little books of John. They are very inexpensive and the message of salvation is why the book of John was written. 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. Just to have someone parrot something that one tells him or her to do isn't going to save them. They have to learn about Jesus before the can trust in Him and that is what the book of John can do. It expounds on the person of Christ. It is hard to believe in someone that you don't know anything about! I hope this helps, CDBJ |

1551 | Only 900 "baptism" posts | 1 Cor 12:13 | CDBJ | 30071 | ||
Being factious to emphasize a point, how many ounces of this Spirit water did you have to drink before you received the Spirit? Now of course as the subject of the thread is water baptism that means you had to drink while you were being baptized in the water. 1 Cor. 12:13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. The part of the verse (all made to drink) in the original Koine Greek is one word. It is the indicative mood, aorist tense, passive voice, of the verb (EPOTISTHEMEM). The indicative mood is the mood of reality or certainty. The aorist tense is action occurring in a point of time. The passive voice shows us that the subject receives the action of the verb. All of the action of made to drink was done for us, it is not something that we do for ourselves, such as water baptism. We automatically receive, or drink in the Spirit at a point in time when God regenerates us; this is further emphasized in the book of Ephes. 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, Note that it says that (ye were sealed with), (not by) the Holy Spirit of promis; the Holy Spirit Himself is the seal. IE. We were all made to drink!!! This is like the process of metabolizing in the body but it is done in the soul of every believer If this isn't clear enough I am afraid I can't help you any more then this. CDBJ |

1552 | Salvation: Instantaneous, progressive? | Ps 68:19 | CDBJ | 28544 | ||
I can't accept the so-called second blessing concept, or a two-tiered aspect, whichever one would like to call it. I am just suggesting that there maybe a time span that actually takes place once an unbeliever starts to ingest or assimilates God's Word and the point of actually being born again. All this must take place through the work of the Holy Spirit because the human spirit isn't alive until regeneration or the second birth. We know that the Word says Ephes. 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: I think a lot of people have faith because we tell them to have it not because God the Father reveals who Jesus is to them, but if they spend enough time in God's word they eventually find out. I think that the book of John is a good example. 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. Considering how many things Jesus did; it must take quite a few signs to convince some people and that is even with the Holy Spirit doing the work. Paul himself must have been under great convection or in a gestation period before his conversion according to Acts 26:14 And when we were all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice saying unto me in the Hebrew language, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? it is hard for thee to kick against the goad. Kicking against the goad was because he had heard the Word and was fighting against the working of The Spirit, but alas he came to faith in Jesus the Christ. Charis I hope you have a blessed New Year, CDBJ |

1553 | Again, was Adam there? | Gen 3:6 | CDBJ | 27977 | ||
Greetings Robert, there are quit a few on this forum that I don't feel a kindred spirit with but by reading your comments I can feel the presents of the Lord in what you say. I read you personal profile and it matches my own to a degree. My wife and I were about 29 years with out a home church. I studied under a pastor teacher from Huston Texas. He communicates through Hebrew and Greek using what he calls the ICE principal of teaching, isagogics, categorical, and exegesis. In your post you mentioned how Christ withstood death on the cross for us. All we can say, as the song goes is, Hallelujah what a Savior! It is interesting to note, and especially today, that the basis of what we believe compared to the religions of the world, is summed up in what Jesus said in 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. This statement isn't really understood by a lot of so-called believers. This always comes to my attention around Christmas time. God, loving the human race as much as he does, cannot jeopardize His perfect Holiness by just excusing sin. His perfect justice say that sin must be punished and that this punishment is separation from Him; man sinned so man would have to pay the price for sin. God decided in eternity past just exactly what He would do to resolve the problem. Every man born into the human race came from the seed of Adam, thus having Adams old sin nature. There has never been a man on the face of the earth that could be an innocent sacrifice for the human race. That is where God decided to take on the form of a man and pay the price that He, God demanded for the sin of the world. He himself would pay the price once and for all, for all mankind. The only thing left for us to do is trust in God's gift to us, Himself, in the person of Jesus the sacrifice of God. I know that you understand this and believe it but I thought I would use this opportunity to say it to the rest on they forum. There are so many that get on the forum and lift up some denomination that they stand for, I just want to lift up Jesus and what God has done for all those that will commit the keeping of their souls to Him. Merry Christmas to all, and a thank you to God the Father for the most blessed gift that could ever be given, His precious Son JESUS. CDBJ |

Dear Kin, thank you for your evaluation as to what I know about baptism. The verse in Question and the main topic of this thread is I Corinthians 12:13 and has nothing at all to do with water. It is the indicative mood, aorist tense, passive voice, 1st. person of the verb, in the Koine Greek, EBAPTISTHEMEN and it is something, according to the passive voice, that we receive, not something we do; it is a reference to the baptism of the Holy Spirit which every believer receives at the point of salvation. Abraham wasn't under the New Covenant either, yet the thief on the cross and I were saved the same was he was. It is like you said though I will study some more, and maybe you can straighten me out later on another thread. Berakah, CDBJ |

1555 | Sons of God cannot be angels in Gen 6:4 | Gen 6:4 | CDBJ | 27771 | ||
Where do you find humans that were sons of God before Jesus? He was the first (human) to ever become a son of God, in so doing He became The Son of God. God has only granted the privilege to human beings to become his sons since the incarnation of Christ, and this can only come about through faith in God uniquely born Son, Jesus. 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 name of God's human Son through the hypostatic union wasn't available in Genesis. Therefore all of those mentioned as God's sons in the Old Testament had to be angelic in nature seeing that they are a direct action of God's creation, just as believers are a direct action of God's creative work with their new nature, thus making believers sons of God. 2 Cor. 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. The word creature comes to us from the word KTISIS, which means original formation, just like the angels. Marry Christmas to all that are new creatures in Christ, CDBJ |

Welcome Zion, I like the name that you are using. Is there is any possessive connotation to your name? God tells us that in order to exercise faith no mater how small, one must believe that God is and that he is able to perform what he says he will do. Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. The (he is,) in the verse is the (one and only), the ever existing one. In your comment that God must be the (one and only) does the phrase, Adonai Eloheinu, Adonai Echad, mean anything to you? Just curious, CDBJ |

Since the thief on the cross couldn't be baptized in water, according to your way of thinking, he will be they only one with Jesus that still has his sins; or do you think that Jesus made a mistake when he said that the thief would be with him? Either you are right or Jesus was right, if Jesus was right then you are wrong in your thinking. Guess who I'm going to believe? CDBJ | ||||||

Since you have managed to inform us of what the Bible doesn't say that water baptism is, do you suppose, using Scripture, that you could tell us what it is, other then being one of the two rituals that were commanded for the church. Some things that believers attest to have been determined by a process of formulation. Not all doctrines are not specifically spelled out in the Bible. The logic used to arrive at a particular doctrine is based on all the Scripture known on that topic and a determination in made. Psalm 119:160 (ASV) The sum of thy word is truth; And every one of thy righteous ordinances endureth for ever. CDBJ |

1560 | what is baptism | Bible general Archive 1 | CDBJ | 26733 | ||
Hi Tim, I sure get bent out of shape sometimes when people hash over the same things all the time, like baptism etc. Right after I sent you the last post the Lord clobbered me with Hebrews 6:1-3 with emphasis on verse 3. Hebrews 6:1-3 Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, 2Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. 3And this will we do, if God permit. I stand corrected. CDBJ |
