Hi Edb, You know more verses then I will ever know. I think it's just a matter of ones train of thought at the time and that's why we still have each other! Romans 14:19 Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another. I was just Ed ifying you, CDBJ |

First of all lets get one thing clear, it doesn’t matter what I say or think it’s what the Lord says that counts, what does the Bible say? The Bible says, Acts 16:31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. Jesus died for the sins of the whole world. 1 John 2:2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. If Jesus died for the sins of the whole world then what could possibly condemn a person? The only sin that Jesus didn’t die for was the sin of rejecting Him; as a result the sin of rejection, or none belief, is the only sin that the Holy Spirit is going to convict people of because it is the ONLY sin that can condemn them. John 16:8 (A) NIV When he comes, he will convict the world of guilt in regard to sin John 16:9 NIV in regard to sin, because men do not believe in me; Do you suppose that telling a little white lie just before you die could get a believer condemned: It is a sin though, is it not? Just because someone’s sins are not as refined in your eyes as others doesn’t mean it isn’t as bad in God’s eyes; it is still a sin that Jesus died for. To dismay and shock of most the worst sin in the world isn’t murder or fornication or one of many overt acts that people class as big; the worst sin in the world is the mental attitude sin of rejecting Jesus Christ as ones savior. Just because some sins are on your list as being the most shocking doesn’t mean that it is any more shocking to God then the ones you think are little ones! God is HOLY, HOLY, HOLY. The question that started off this discussion was, can a believer commit suicide and still be save. My answer was then, and still is, a person is saved by believing in the Lord Jesus Christ, they have had a change of mind about the person and work of Christ and as a result God has saved them. There is no sin that a person can do after salvation that can negate the finished work of God, for me to say other wise would be the epitome of arrogance and a contradiction of what God has promised. Now there will be some who will say that this way of thinking is just giving a license to sin. I would say to them that they, being a believer, better stop and remember who their Father is and keep shot accounts with the use of 1 John 1:9 because they won’t enjoy the woodshed of discipline. Those that question this should consider the scope of the following. How long is ETERNAL life, until I commit my next sin, big or small? This is not a post to argue something you might not have, but I know what the Lord has revealed to me. Matthew 16:17 Jesus replied, "Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by man, but by my Father in heaven. Have a nice day, CDBJ |

It's like I suggested, the scene was open to personal interpretation seeing that it wasn’t scriptural in it's essence, but it conveyed a thought; the presence of evil. Have you come to the place yet where you have place your confidence in the work that Christ did on the cross, that was so explicitly portrayed in the movie? I don’t see any evidence suggesting such in your personal profile? The whole movie was very moving, to say the least, CDBJ |

That is a good synopsis but it can’t be said for sure unless Mel Gibson told you personally whom it was supposed to portray. Don’t forget, it was just a movie, the actual Word of God is the only Truth! Psalm 119:160 The sum of thy word is truth; And every one of thy righteous ordinances endureth for ever. Have a great day, CDBJ |

Friend, I have been researching it for close to 40 years now and that is why I said what I did. I just knew that someone out there would misconstrue what I was trying to convey. We don’t have a license to sin but we are FREE to serve. It sounds like you have ascended to sinless perfection and you don’t need 1 John 1:9 any longer. I 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. I find it hard to believe you are still in the body, nice job, CDBJ |

Hello enzax, Since you didn’t like my version, “ the scene was open to personal interpretation seeing that it wasn’t scriptural in it's essence, but it conveyed a thought; the presence of evil.” You suggested the following, which is the same thing I said, or am I missing something??? “it was Gibson's view of satan plain and simple.” I said that it wasn’t scriptural, are you saying otherwise, chapter and verse please. What gives, CDBJ |

If what you say is true, “We all go to the dead, i.e. where the other dead are. We remain so till we are brought back to life in the resurrection.” How do you, explain away the following, spoken of by Paul? 2 Cor. 5:8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. Again in the book of Revelation there are souls talking to the Lord yet without what we know as a body. It sounds like Paul must have known something that you don’t! Philip. 1:21-24 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. 22But if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labour: yet what I shall choose I wot not. 23For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better: 24Nevertheless to abide in the flesh is more needful for you. There must be some kind of an interim body that we don’t know about because they are speaking! Rev. 6:9-10 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: 10And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? How do you explain all that away? CDBJ |

You say you want logic and you use Eccles. for your logic that it still holds true today. Let try Eccles. 1:9 The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun. If you believe this is true for today you better log of quick before someone call you on it, being as they didn’t have computers back then; no new thing under the sun. If all the dead are unaware of their surroundings, as you claim, I suppose you think Jesus made a mistake with what he said in Luke or do you just pick and chose the verses that fit your agenda? Luke 16:19-31 There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day: 20And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores, 21And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. 22And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; 23And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. 24And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. 25But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. 26And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence. 27Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house: 28For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment. 29Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them. 30And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent. 31And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead. Well one did rise from the dead and it was Jesus and while we are at it do you believe that Jesus is God? CDBJ |

Just for starters a proper name is never given in a parable, i.e. Luke 16:19-31 The fallacious doctrine of soul sleep has been highly debated on this forum and all of its advocates have either fallen asleep or stepped out of the picture because they were not able to cope with the myriad of Scriptures that that refute their thesis. Type the words “soul sleep” in the search screen on the upper right section of the home screen and it will eliminate a lot of wasted effort and if you cease from your paradigm paralysis you might see the scope of Psalm 119:160 The sum of thy word is truth; And every one of thy righteous ordinances endureth for ever.

Hi EdB, I think what we are trying to point out in this line of post is like talking to a brick wall they aren't hearing a thing the Bible says. Some people can’t unwrinkle their brow long enough to let a thought through. They know one verse of Scripture and even though ten others refute their way of thinking on a particular subject they can’t see it. 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: It would appear that the first word in 2 Tim. 3:16, to them, should read “SOME” instead of all?

Hi Rowdy, What make you think that Satan had anything to do with anything connected with the Holiness of God; in you statement, “it would be enough for the Devil to keep Him there forever.” The devil has nothing to do with the perfect plan of God and he has nothing to do with hell or the lake of fire other then the fact that he will suffer there like all the rest that don’t fear God! Matthew 25:41 Then 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: God is the master over hell and the lake of fire, Satan is in charge of nothing but will suffer the same punishment. He will be no better then any unbeliever outside of Christ, he is a nothing and a nobody and doesn't even deserve to be mentioned in the same sentence with God and it's his choice!!!!!!!!!!! CDBJ |

174 | Cup Passed? | Bible general Archive 2 | CDBJ | 118104 | ||
Isn't it rather obvious? Your question that is, "Why Jesus prayed for the cup to be passed from him?" What if you knew every excruciating little detail, as Christ did, beforehand and you had to go through all of the torture and suffering that Christ went through and the humiliation and pain of being crucified and knew on top of all this that God was going to punish you for all the sins of mankind from Adam to the end of time, wouldn’t that make you a little nervous and apprehensive, remember Jesus was also a man! That was the hardest thing ever accomplished by a man and even Christ didn't know what to expect, pain wise, when God poured out His wrath on him! I question your even asking! The movie, The Passion, couldn’t go into the details as to what it was like to be separated from God as Christ was but we are all reminded that everything up to the sixth hour when there was darkness didn’t cause him to cry out; It wasn’t until God forsook him that he screamed at the ninth hour! The only ones that will experience what Jesus suffered are those that won’t trust in God’s Son, and they will get a first hand feeling as to why Jesus said, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.

Hi Rowdy, You made this statement in your post, NOT me! “going to Hell” “If Christ was guilty of just one single impure thought for just a fleeting moment, it would be enough for the Devil to keep Him there forever.” I am saying that the devil doesn’t keep anybody anyplace! What I was trying to point out is the fact that Satan doesn’t control anything in hell and he has no power in hell or the lake of fire, as many falsely assume. Right now those that have died in Christ would have a better chance of seeing Satan in heaven then those that died outside of Christ and are in the place of torments. Figure that one out, and if you can’t I will back it up with Scripture! Many can only visualize Satan, or the devil, as a figure with a red epidermis, a set of horns and a tail and carrying around a trident or pitchfork and screaming out cruel orders to those that are burning. In fact nothing could be further from the truth. Satan was the most beautiful creature that God ever created and most wouldn’t know him even if he were to talk to them. I would imagine that Satan loves his present picture of deception because no one can spot him as he really is! If Satan was ever portrayed as he really is all the woman would probably swoon over him! Have a nice day CDBJ |

Hi Rowdy, I wish you weren’t quit so rowdy with me since I am feeling so bad these days! I actually have a sever case of the vapors with a plugged mud vent. My psychiatrist has been trying to inform me that my anger management classes where no longer needed and now you are telling me that I must be in relapse! Oh what to do, what to do!!! The only one who really knows me on the forum is Hank and that’s because he is suffering from the same malady, we are both practical jokers. All kidding aside, maybe! The word Satan comes to us from the Hebrew word satan, pronounced “saw-tawn” and carries the connotation of an opponent. The word in the Greek, Satan, stems from the Chaldee, Satanas and means the accuser. Cutting to the chase, we see that Satan is constantly making accusation about believers as an accusing attorney before God, and that is how believers might have a chance to actually view Satan in action, after the believers are in heaven. Rev. 12:10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. Satan won’t be bared from heaven until the mid point of the time know as Jacob’s trouble or what we call the last 3 ½ years of the great tribulation. 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. This will be the signal to Satan that he is in his last years of carrying out his chain of command and rule over the earth. 2 Cor. 4:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. Satan has a chain of command that he uses to rule the world and he is not torturing people in the place we call hell nor is he greeting them at the door with open arms, as it were with his nasty horn and big red suit. Ephes. 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. The word in the English, principalities is translated from the Koine Greek word, ARCHE and it means rank, just like we have in the military with Satan being the commander and chief of them all. Sorry I mislead you with my nasty post but I like to pull people chains once and a while. Ha Ha! 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. Gave a great day and relax, I’ve read the end of the Book and we win, CDBJ |

Hi Hank, I have been anything but forthcoming with regard to any post that you might have made lately but now my stitches seem to be pretty well on the mend now so I just might venture out into a little deeper water! In posting to Rowdy that other day, and the mention of Satan as an accusing attorney, I neglected to mention that 99 percent of all the attorneys give the other 1 percent a bad name! That isn’t biblical but I believe it’s factual. CDBJ |

Hi justme, I have to agree with you in part, I guess I’m not Rebecca from Sunny Brook Farm. Sometimes I come across too harsh with my responses and the way I try to convey things. I should probably cash it in because you are the third person in the last Month that has told me this. I think I am starting to do more harm then good! It sounds like I am becoming as the following. 1 Cor. 13:1-2 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. 2And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.

Hi EdB, I was listening to a testimony, many years ago, of a man who claimed to be a thief a swindler and one of very bad character before he was saved when he had finished a friend leaned over to me and said, “ Wow, I hope he doesn’t backslide, I think I’ll keep my doors locked” I love a sense humor; I think he was kidding, CDBJ |

Hi EdB, That would be his loss and your gain! Philip. 1:21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. The nice part is that we are in the Lords hands and if He didn’t want it to happen the guy couldn’t lay a hand on you!! Here is a promise that believers in combat areas need to claim. Psalm 91:1-7 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. 2I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. 3Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. 4He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. 5Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; 6Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. 7A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. It’s like I have told many, I don't mind death, it's dying that I'm not looking forward to! The Lord will provide dying grace to all of His at the proper time. There have been times when I have been put to sleep, just before an operation, and I was thinking how great it would be just to wake up face to face with the Lord. It sure didn't make my wife feel so good though when I told her what I was thinking. I guess that would be kind of selfish but the Lord has it all planed out anyway. Eccles. 3:2 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; Job 5:26 Thou shalt come to thy grave in a full age, like as a shock of corn cometh in in his season. Psalm 116:15 Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints. Have a great day, CDBJ |
