1662 | Lost my salvation? (Hebrews 6:4-6) | Heb 6:4 | CDBJ | 17942 | ||
Logic says, that, since God is all knowing, that if some could loose their salvation, why does He bother saving them in the first place? It can't be done! It all depends on Him and if you are secure in Christ there is no problem. I like the example of the believer, who was practicing incest, and what Paul said. I Cor. 5:5 I have decided to deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of his flesh, so that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. Now there is a sin unto death for you, (Physical) but he is still saved. I like those that say David wasn't truly saved when He had his fling with Bathsheba. They say that a believer couldn't do that and still be saved, get real! We will continue to have an old sin nature until we are out of these bodies. It's in our cell structure thanks to our great--------------grandfather, Adam. We can't get rid of that old nature the same way we can't get rid of our new nature, once we are a believer in Jesus, Adam seals the one and God seal the other. (In my opinion), with due respect to others, saying that a person can loose their salvation, is teetering on the edge of blaspheme. Yours IN Christ,no comment needed,one is eather secure in Christ or they are not! CDBJ |

1663 | Works in the Christian experience? | Heb 6:4 | CDBJ | 17925 | ||
My wife and I attend one of the largest churches in Ohio. It is nondenominational and has about eight thousand in attendance on any given Sunday. I enjoy the Sunday school service more then the main church service, that's because I can't carry a tune in a bucket and when I stand to long my back gets out of wack. It is interesting to note that Eph. 4:11-16 KJV, And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the EDIFYING of the body of Christ: Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the EDIFYING of itself in love. The word edifying in the Greek is the word OIKODOME. The etymology of the word shows that is came down to us as construction term, meaning to build up or construct layer upon layer. This is why we need pastor teachers, to build us up and teach us to do the work of the ministry, doctrine upon doctrine precept upon precept. The church is for believers to learn, it wasn't designed for unbelievers. It is our job to teach people about Christ, then, bring them into the building to learn how to be a witness for Jesus. A lot of local churches today have it all turned around, and they have become nothing more then a glorified dog and pony show to get unbelievers to come in. Wasn't it Paul that told Timothy in II Tim. 4:2 to bring in the football stars and have them give thier testimony. I don't think so! I know it says let the redeemed of the Lord say so, but there is a time and a place! So many churches will do about anything to fill the seats. If they would just give a good exegetical study of God's Word, as they are commanded, God would bring in the saints and fill the seats and they would grow! Believers are hungry for God's word and they don't seem to be getting fed any meat. Can you imagine what a person would look like if all they had to dine on was milk every day? Yet in some churches that is all that is cranked out, every Sunday. I think I am getting on my soapbox so I better quit for now. Yours in Christ, CDBJ |

Well I do know some points on Calvinism and Arminianism, and of course I have heard of Luther, but to dwell on their terminology and all the in and outs, this I haven't done. It was once pointed out to me, when I was a very young believer in Christ, that there were over two million religions in the World. They said that I wouldn't have enough time to learn about all of them and to grow in Christ at the same time. They explained to me that a person who works for the treasury department doesn't have time to study all the different counterfeit money that is circulating around; besides all the new phony ones that keep popping up. They do extensive study into the genuine money so that when a fake bill comes along the can spot it with out any trouble; the reason being is that they are so in tune with the real article. As for someone classifying me or not, as a Christian, at least it is Biblical. When God commanded me to study to show myself approver to Him, I am sure He meant for me to study in His Word since: it is inspired by Him and is profitable for teaching, reproof, for correction and instruction in righteousness. There are only so many hours in a day that are devoted toward study. It like someone once quipped, (to each his own.) I heard a good one the other day. The question was, if you were ever arrested for being a follower of Jesus Christ, could they find enough evidence to convict you? One individual said, well, I spend 2 hours each week in church. I ask him if he spent 8hours everyday in his garage, would that make him a car. I don't know if he got the point or not. Anyway thanks for the info. and responding to my thread, now I am more knowledgeable. Yours in Christ, CDBJ | ||||||

1666 | Works in the Christian experience? | Heb 6:4 | CDBJ | 17886 | ||
I don't know much about religions and their names and terms and who sits in what saddle. I do study the Bible a lot and if you don't mind me asking, what is a Reformer and what is a Westminster confession. If this is a dumb question then you know where I stand. I use to be a Protestant and my wife use to be a staunch Catholic. Now when people ask us what we are, we tell them that we are Proclaimers: they always ask what is that? It provides us an opportunity to tell them what Jesus did for us. They have to listen because they ask the question. (One sows another waters) CDBJ | ||||||

I have looked at other forums and this one is a snap next to some of the others. I think that we are fortunate to be able to use what we have. I am (frexable), and I don't know what all it entails. You said to keep other suggestions for another thread, but as for me I need a spell check. CDBJ |

Onnig, I noticed your profile and you say that you are Armenian; well the laugh is on me, I looked at it to fast and I thought it said Armimian. After I read through your response I thought to myself, that sure sounded Calvinistic to me. It wasn't until I checked back to make sure that didn't read it wrong that I actually saw the E in the middle! Well I agree with you, and while I was reading the verses you had listed, Matt.13:---, I noticed the response of the different ones on whom the seed fell, and a verse jumped out of my memory. Now remember we are talking about believers only; that's our main thrust. Matt. 13:19, says that this one, didn't understand, I.e. an unbeliever. Matt. 13:20, this one got all excited, his emotions were doing all the dictating, no true knowledge of Jesus. I.e. an unbeliever. The next Matt. 13:22, Worldly things and wealth shot him down, he couldn't see past the end of his nose, i.e. an unbeliever. Now the last person, Matt. 13:23, the key word is understanding, and that's where it hit me! Look at Matt. 16:15-18, Jesus ask who they thought he was, and what he was going to do with that information. Peter declared that Jesus was the Christ, the Son of the living God. Jesus told him that the only way that he could have know this for a fact, was by God the father revealing it to him. Peter received UNDERSTANDING of who Jesus is, and it's this understanding that makes us believers, when we trust in Jesus. Jesus said THE ROCK of this statement, and the Father revealing it, would be how He would build His church. The church is an organism, which is alive, not an organization in a building. Only those who have had this reviled to them by the Father are members of this church, the body of Christ. John 10:14 Jesus says "I know my sheep and My sheep know Me" John 10:29 My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand. Maybe those that don't understand this doctrine have not had it revealed to them yet by the Father; it sure is a peace knowing it though. There are many who are troubled by this and they think that they can loose their salvation. It sounds to me like they haven't received the peace that Christ talks about. I didn't do anything to get salvation, how can I do anything to loose it, it was a gift along with the promise that I wouldn't loose it. It depends on Jesus not me, praise the Lord! For those out there that don't believe this, I don't even want to debate it, I know what has been revealed to me the same way that I know I am saved. Yours in Christ, CDBJ | ||||||

1670 | When was "In the Beginning" | Gen 1:1 | CDBJ | 17687 | ||
I would like to take this time to offer an apology to Hank for my sudden out burst of anger the other day. I made some snide remarks that were not in keeping with the way that a believer in Christ should treat anyone much less another believer. God's Word says that pride comes before a fall; and I think that one of the things that Satan tries to do, is to neutralize us in our testimony. Hank, I am very sorry about what I said the other day and I hope that what I said will not deter you from responding in the future: I was wrong in my response please accept my apology. CDBJ | ||||||

I guess I did get out of hand on that to a degree. It's just that he shot down not me, but the source of information, with out even reading what my source had to say. My source of information has been studying the Hebrew language for over 60 years now. I have been studying under him for about 32 years now. He writes it backwards faster then I can write English left to right. He also speaks Hebrew fluently and is a master at idiom. To top if off the comments that he made were where all covered in the booklet and answered in every point, showing the pros and cons and the whys, relating to Hank's statements. My anger was more pointed toward Hank's attitude then Hank himself. I have always tried to give a person the benefit of the doubt, at least until I can check it all out. I guess that my outburst is a good indication that I still have an old sin nature. CDBJ | ||||||

Very interesting, comments you made about a booklet that you have never look at, yet you supposedly new all about it and what it must have said along with the theory that the writer must have employed just by the use of one word: You must be clairvoyant or something. I think you are wasting your time on a forum with all us dummies. With your psychic powers of understanding it's probably boring, giving out perfect counseling every day at the New York Stock exchange. You probably made so much in the market this year that you don't have anything better to do but to sit around and pass judgment on the books that you've never even looked at. What with the capitol gains being what they are and all! You did end your speech with a bit of a shocker though. And that is this, that God can speak an entire universe into existence and really doesn't need our weak theories to explain it. The shock was that you say that your theories are weak as well as the rest, or was that a misprint. I got a lot from your thread but I don't want to discuss it with you because you already know what I am Thinking. CDBJ |

1674 | Does the OT talk about resurrection? | Matt 22:30 | CDBJ | 17623 | ||
You don't need to know Heb. to understand what is going to happen. I think you missed what was being said. The word amad could mean anything, it doesn't matter, it still wouldn't change anything even if he stood on his head. The facts is that what ever he did, after what ever he did there would come a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time. Christ said the same thing in Matt. 24:21. Maybe when Michael stood up, and the timing would be right, he went to the war that was taking place in heaven mentioned in Rev. 12:7, because what happens in the rest of Rev. 12:7-17 gives ref. to the same time of trouble that will take place in the World.

Tim, I just received more info in regard to the problem between II Thess. 2:7 and Dan. 12:1 I mentioned what you said about the Heb. Word (amad) and this was his response. Your question concerning the meaning of "amad" in Daniel 12:1 is a good one. Obviously, the meaning of the term as defined in a dictionary and how it is used in Daniel 12:1 is important. In context, Daniel 12:1 states that Michael will stand up (stand still, arise, or whatever) and the people of Daniel will experience an unparalleled persecution. Regardless of what the term means, it appears that whatever Michael does, immediately following it his people will experience an unparalleled persecution. This much is certain. No one seems to really understand how the term "amad" is being used in Daniel 12:1. The removal of the restrainer in II Thess. 2 allows the lawless one to come on the scene. The lawless one is antichrist. When the restrainer is removed the persecution by the lawless one begins. Therefore, by reason, Michael's actions and the removal of the restrainers causes the same action. This makes sense to me, what do you think? CDBJ |

I have long been confused over what the Bible says and what man has found for his evidence as to the length of time that the Earth has been around. I use to spend many days listening to professors expatiate on their theories regarding the age of certain periods of time. Later on, after becoming a Christian, I was subjected to a different concept as to the age of the Earth and it's living matter. I always had a struggle in my mind because there is so much evidence around that shows the Earth to be much older then our theologians are teaching us: Or are they both right? I read a booklet one day that cleared the whole matter up for me with one word in the Hebrew that can be translated several ways. It was stated by this individual, who happens to have a master's degree in the Hebrew language, that the word (was) in Genesis 1:2 could and should be translated (became). He spent the rest of the book explaining creation in it's proper prospective and it all made sense with what my geology professors taught. What man has found actually backs up what the Bible teaches. If you would like you can contact me by e-mail, and I will tell you where you can get a copy of the booklet. I am not going to try and explain a whole booklet on a forum though. CDBJ | ||||||

Well that's OK that's why it's a forum, but for my money Michael fits better then the other two scenarios. The results match up, the timing is right, and it makes sense. Someone once said, if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and looks like a duck, it's probably a duck. I don't know where that came from either, but it makes sense. Maybe we should approach II Thess. 2:7 from another tack and see how or why the other scenarios work or don't work, since you are better at the Greek. You lead off and I will try to chime in on your suggestion with my rebuttal. The defense rests, or sits down! CDBJ | ||||||

This is from (www.signministries.org), they can explain it better then I can. A) Michael 1. Guardian of Israel Daniel informs us that the angel Michael is the prince of the Jewish people (Dan. 10:21; 12:1). In the 12th chapter, his role seems to be that of protector or guardian of the Jews. From the reference in 12:1 we also learn that the "time of distress such as never occurred since there was a nation until that time" comes upon the Jewish people following Michael's "arising", or withdrawal of his protection. 2. The Restrainer The apostle Paul tells us in II Thessalonians 2: 6-7 of a restrainer who will hold back the intentions/efforts of "the man of lawlessness" until itÕs time for his revealing and the subsequent prophesied Day of the Lord. The restrainer can only be Michael the archangel, Israel's prince, who stands guard over Israel as well as the spiritual kingdom of God, Old and New Testament alike. Satan will not have complete freedom to persecute Israel or the church in general - through Antichrist - until Michael's restraint is removed, permitting the purge of Israel foretold by God through His prophets, and the "fiery testing" of the church foretold by the Apostles of Christ in the New Testament. Contrary to much popular interpretation, there is no scriptural basis for identifying the restrainer either as the Holy Spirit or as the church. On the other hand, Michael is called by Daniel the one who "stands firmly against" or "restrains." The word for "arise" in Daniel 12:1 in the Hebrew is 'amad' and it means to "stand up or stand still". The Midrash (1st Century Jewish commentary of the Old Testament) says of this verse, "The Holy One, Blessed be He, said to Michael, 'You are silent? You do not defend my children'". (ca. II Sam. 2:28; II Kings 4:6 for other uses of 'amad') You are far better at the Heb. then I am. You are taxing this old man pretty good, but don't quit! CDBJ |

I do not believe in pre-trib, mid-trib or post- trib. I believe in the pre-wrath position that the Bible teaches, if you want to hang a name on it! I use to be pre-trib untill the truth was pointed out to me, using all the Scripture that pertain to the end time events. And that's as honest as I can get. It is just like when I first found the truth of the Gospel, I wanted to share the truth of Jesus with everyone I came in contact with. That was far easier, then trying to share the truth of Christ second coming with brothers in Christ!!! What wrong with this picture?? CDBJ | ||||||
