1641 | Please help the ignorant and arrogant... | Matt 27:46 | CDBJ | 19045 | ||
Interesting points, but If you would please, could you explain the battle at the cross between Jesus and Satan? This is the only part in your thread that isn't very clear to me from scripture, or maybe I have forgotten this part somehow. Yours in Christ, CDBJ | ||||||
1642 | Lionstrong, this is not universalism. | Eph 3:6 | CDBJ | 19035 | ||
Jo, that is a great concept I couldn't tell you how many time that I have read those verses and I have never looked at it in that light. It just goes to show you that His word is alive. I think you might be on to something here but I would like to see a whole new thread on this. Please let me know, if you would, via e-mail when you do it so that I don't miss it. It is very interesting at this point, and I can't see anything wrong with it. I must say that if that is the case, I have been teaching something that isn't there. You know there is a verse in Psalm 119: 160 NASV that says, the sum of Your Word is truth. Sometimes it is hard to see the whole picture with our finite minds. Yours in Christ, CDBJ |

1643 | Lionstrong, this is not universalism. | Eph 3:6 | CDBJ | 19010 | ||
Hi Joe, in regard to the one point that you made about regeneration before faith. There is something that I believe and I am not even sure where it came from so please don't back me in a corner on this one. The unbeliever can't understand anything from God as you stated because his spirit needs to be born again, and I Cor. 2:14 will back that up. I have in the back of my head some place that the only thing that an unbeliever can understand is the Gospel and only then because God the Holy Spirit reveals it to them. Maybe via John 16:8-11 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: Of sin, because they believe not on me; Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more; Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged. It seems like I have been using this verse a lot lately; well what do you think? You don't have to respond to this if you don't want to; it is just for a train-of-thought. CDBJ |

1644 | Absolutely perfect? | Deut 32:22 | CDBJ | 19005 | ||
There is only one thing that I would like to ask you, but the answer to that must be broken down also. What sin did Jesus Christ not pay for? When and if you come up with one; that is the only sin that can condemn a person. When Jesus was hanging on the cross, God the Father poured out all of the sins of the World on His Son and judged them. Every sin that has ever been committed, past present and future, they were all poured out on Him and judged. Now if that is the case, and it is, then the problem is no longer sin. The main issue now, since Jesus dealt with the sin problem is, what do you think of Jesus the Christ. What will you do with God's Messiah? One either believes in Him or they reject Him. It's that simple or that complicated which ever you choose. Don't confuse sinning after salvation with salvation; it is connected with service not salvation. God said that He will NEVER leave you or forsake you, but He didn't say that you would always be in fellowship with Him. We can't get out of salvation, but we can sure get out of fellowship by grieving or quenching The Spirit, and this we do by sinning. Until a person understands this, it is very hard to grow in Christ. The knowledge that He has freed us to serve cannot be understood by one who is still in bondage to a concept that they can loose their salvation because they are trying so hard just to hang on to it. If anyone has an argument with this it is because they don't see it yet. Please don't argue any of these false concepts with me, I am free and I know it; praise the Lord. I feel real sorry for trapped believers that don't understand this truth. They can argue with me till they are blue in the face, I know what the Lord has revealed to me, and I am telling you it is great! I am resting in the Lord and the power of His Might. I tell you I love all the brothers and sisters in Christ and I respect their views, but some don't know what they are missing. I will close with a verse from Hebrews 4:1 Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it. Come short, is like God giving us a checkbook with a million dollars in it and we don't know how to write a check. CDBJ |

1645 | Holy Spirit without evidence of tongues? | Acts | CDBJ | 18958 | ||
You say that a person must be baptized, do you meaning with water and is this a prerequisite for salvation or does it come afterwards. If it comes afterwards, then the person is already saved, if it is before salvation, then it is works and that knocks out grace. If you are right about water baptism, then does this mean that God is a respecter of persons, because He must have made an exception for the thief on the cross who couldn't do anything, but believe in Jesus; and Christ himself said that the thief would be with him in paradise. There seems to be a few problems with this view. Please explain, yours in Christ, CDBJ | ||||||
1646 | Lionstrong, who is the world? | Eph 3:6 | CDBJ | 18919 | ||
Yes, that was only MY two cents worth, but it cost God the most precious thing He had, the life of His only unique Dear Son, and I love Him more and more. CDBJ | ||||||
1647 | Lionstrong, who is the world? | Eph 3:6 | CDBJ | 18899 | ||
I think that in a way, that you are both right, now how is that for openers? The word for atonement in the Old Testament was KAPHAR, i.e. a covering; the sin was covered, but it was still there, until God's Messiah would come. The word that we have in the New Testament for atonement is KATALLAGE in the Greek, which is derived from KATALLASSO, to reconcile. Do you remember what John the Baptist said when he saw Jesus coming? (Behold the Lamb of God who covers our sin) ((NOT)) Behold the Lamb of God, that TAKES AWAY the sin of the World, it's gone. So now the issue isn't sin anymore, John 16:7-9, but Jesus. The only sin that can condemn a person now it the one that the Holy Spirit is convicting the World of, which is rejecting Jesus as their Savior. The only sin that Christ couldn't and didn't pay for is the sin of rejection. WOW, what a plan, and God the Father even has to reveal this to us! We that know this plan can't praise Him enough, Hallelujah what a savior! God is not willing that any should parish but that all would come to a change of mind about His Son Jesus the Christ. My two cents worth, CDBJ | ||||||
1648 | Absolutely perfect? | Deut 32:22 | CDBJ | 18867 | ||
Well Lanny, for starters I am CDBJ, not Joe, but I know how easy it is to get mixed up; I think we have all done that a few times. You say that you would like to see where Paul sinned after salvation. Try Rom. 7:15 and combine that with James 4:17 and you have it. Take you for example; did you ever drive just a little over the speed limit? Now don't tell me that you have never violated just one traffic law, and you knew it was wrong? James 4:17 will get you every time! Have a nice day, CDBJ P.S. when you called me Joe, what if that would have made me loose my cool? You just put a stumbling block in a brother's way and we are commanded not to do that. Lanny, all believers have sins in their life after salvation. There are sins of omission as well as sin of commission. There are a lot that have thought that they don't sin after salvation, and when they take a nosedive it shocks them so bad, that they are ashamed to continue a close walk with Christ. Pride cometh before a fall, and I say this to you in love. I don't know how long that you have been a believer in Christ and I admire your walk but be careful. I have know the Lord for over 35 years and I would hate to say how many times that I have had to use I John 1:9. The older I get, and the more I learn, the more I have to use I John 1:9 I hope you continue to keep up the close walk, but don't be proud of it, because the Lord hates pride. I hope you take this in the spirit in which it is given and don't feel that I am judging you. Yours in Christ, CDBJ |

1649 | The Rapture in Revelation | Revelation | CDBJ | 18860 | ||
#1 The prophecy in Daniel of the 70 weeks is for Israel only: But the time of the tribulation for the elect is running concurrent with it and both events are triggered by the same action. That is when Israel makes a seven year covenant, with the unbeknown to them, antichrist. #2 The 70th week of Daniel, if that is the part you mean, won't start until Israel makes the firm covenant with the one, antichrist, who makes desolate. After three and one half years, his true nature will be revealed as the son of destruction, (also, II Thess.2: 3-9) at this point Israel will realize that they made a covenant with death and she will fly into the wilderness to her place of safety from the presence of the serpent. Rev. 12:13-17 The dragon then through frustration, because he can't get at Israel will turn on the elect, the church, thus the great tribulation that Jesus warned us would happen in the last days. Being a believer in Christ at that time will not be a popular thing! Forget about the glowing testimonies, unless you want to loose you head. Thus we have the apostasy that Paul spoke of. There won't be many, so called lukewarm believers around. There will be people turning on their own relations just as the Scripture says will happen. #3 I think that the temple will be rebuilt and the Jews will start to sacrifice, the same way that they did in the Old Testament. I just heard on the radio the other day, that after some two thousand years, that the Jews have redeveloped the red heifer, I wonder why? I hope this answers your question, this is about the best I can do when I am to tired to tkink. CDBJ |

Yoshua, I am pre-wrath in my position when it comes to the time, when the dead in Christ will rise and the living believers will be changed. I think that the period of time called tribulation, starts with the Abomination of Desolation Matt. 24:15 and is also spoken of by Paul in II Thess. 2:3,4. The period of time that starts Daniel's 70th week, and runs for three and one half years before this, is merely the beginning of birth pangs. The last half of Jacob's trouble starts with the devil being cast down to the Earth, Rev. 12:12, thus showing that the tribulation spoken of by Christ is from the wrath of Satan not God. Christ went on to say that those that endure till the end of the tribulation, will be delivered. I.e. the rapture. Note that Daniel's 70th week must continue on for it's full term though. Thus, we, the believers will come out of the great tribulation by Christ cutting the great tribulation short, for the elect's sake: this He will do by the rapture. Look at Rev. 7:9-17 Right after all this takes place, God starts to pours out His wrath, Rev. 8:--------- Notice, rapture before wrath; thus the pre-wrath position. CDBJ | ||||||

I don't know where you got the idea that I was insulting you by name-calling or what ever. All that I ask was the nature of the name that you are using on the forum, if it was a sort form of CHEZEV, which is the Old Testament Hebrew word for (vision). I am sorry you mistook this for something else. From all that you were telling us about the Old Testament I thought maybe you were a Hebrew buff, my mistake! CDBJ | ||||||

Well for sake of filling up the whole page, I thought that I would just use Jn.3:16 because even unbelievers know what that verse says. By the way what does your name casiv stand for, is it short for the word CHEZEV? cdbj | ||||||

Casiv, I neglected to mention in my last thread, the old mind isn't working as well as it use too, that there is the logic view point to look at. Just taking John 3:16 in to account, if God wasn't going to be satisfied with Jesus Christ, why would He have sent Him in the first place? CDBJ | ||||||

Try I John 5:10-13 I have eternal life right here and now and I know it, because God Himself has given me the down payment of His Spirit. Only the ones that have received this from God know it. This was not revealed to me by any man. If this is not a reality to some, I would suggests that they seek God with their whole heart, in His Word to find it out, because if they don't they will be eternally lost. All this came about by putting all my faith and trust in Jesus Christ and what He did for me on the cross. That was the purpose of the book of John, John 20:31 But these things have been written so that you might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing you may have life in His name. If this wasn't satisfactory to God, Jesus would still be in the grave, but He is not, He is alive and He is seated at the right hand of God the Father and He is the only one that rose from the dead, and is alive for evermore; so this justifies my faith in Him!!!

I agree, it is the best book that I have ever read on the end times. He uses all the Scripture and ties them all together. An other good book along with it is, The Pre-wrath Rapture of The Church by Marvin Rosenthal? CDBJ | ||||||
1658 | RAPTURE! FACT OR FICTION | 1 Cor 15:51 | CDBJ | 18608 | ||
The word rapture came down to us from a translation called the Vulgate. It is not a word that is in our English translations. The concept of the rapture is discussed in many different words; we just grouped all of them together and coined the word rapture, as a catchall word to cover them all. The closest that the word rapture comes to in the Greek language of the New Testament, is the word EPISUNAGOGE, it is a compound word EPI, meaning out and SUNAGOGE, a gathering, as an assemble. The word synagogue as used by the Jews is actually a derivative from the later, as a gathering of people. Paul expresses this in II Thessalonians 2:1 where he says: Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, Now on the subject of the Lord coming as a thief: the Bible says that He will only come as a thief to the unbeliever not the believers. Notice the wording in I Thess. 5:1-5 There are two groups mentioned in these verses,(we and you) the believers, and (they and them) the unbelievers. I Thess. 5:1-5 Now as to the times and the epochs, brethren, you have no need of anything to be written to you. For you yourselves know full well that the day of the Lord will come just like a thief in the night. While they are saying, "Peace and safety!" then destruction will come upon them suddenly like labor pains upon a woman with child, and they will not escape. But you, brethren, are not in darkness, that the day would overtake you like a thief; for you are all sons of light and sons of day. We are not of night nor of darkness; The Lord is going to rapture His own out of here and then pour out sudden destruction on those that are saying peace and safety; just like he did in the days of Noah and in the days of Lot! All of this is going to happen on the same day, the Lord will lift up His own and then, BOOM, down comes His wrath on those that are left. |

1659 | Body/soul/spirit? | Bible general Archive 1 | CDBJ | 18158 | ||
The spirit is what died when Adam ate of the forbidden fruit. It is only by means of the spirit that a person can have fellowship with God. To simplify it, the human spirit is like a receiver to absorb and understand God's signals or message to us, and visa versa. Just like a television set receives the signals that are constantly going through your house, it makes the signals real to you with a picture and sound. If you would try to tell a person who knows nothing about television or has never seen television or heard a radio, that there are signal passing through your house and you tell them how much you are enjoying them, they would think it was foolishness and that you must have a screw loose or something. Thus we have I Cor. 1:18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but (conjunction of contrast) unto us which are saved it (the cross where Jesus paid the price required) is the power of God. It is interesting to note, that the word for death, in the Greek language is THANATOS, it actually means separation. It does not mean that consciousness stops. The soul will live on forever, once it is born, it is the real you. Either your soul will live with God, in eternal bless because you have received His gift of eternal life, that His Son Jesus paid for; or it will live in a place of eternal torment for rejecting God's free gift. At any rate the only thing that can send a person to the lake of fire, is the sin of rejecting Jesus Christ as their savior. Like the song says, Jesus paid it all, all to Him I owe. CDBJ |

1660 | Unbaptized children | Bible general Archive 1 | CDBJ | 18116 | ||
It is interesting to note in Matt. 3:11,12, that John the Baptist said I use water (just a ritual) but, in speaking of Jesus, He will baptize with the Holy Spirit and with fire (the real thing). It will be one or the other. A person will receive the unifying baptism of God's Spirit, for eternal bliss, or they will receive his baptism of fire, for eternal punishment. Verse 12 confirms the fact of whom the baptisms are for, the Holy Spirit for believers i.e. the wheat: or the baptism of fire for the unbelievers i.e. the chaff. There are two types of baptism, wet ones and dry ones. The wet ones are just ritual, but the dry ones are real! This is the message that John was trying to put across. Only a true believer can practice the ritual and cause it to mean anything. That is why in Matt. 3:8 that John said bring forth fruits meet for repentance. (because if you don't it won't mean anything) Repentance and faith are two sides of the same coin. CDBJ |
