1701 | Rev 2:17 additional question | Rev 2:17 | CDBJ | 16894 | ||
I agree with this one and so does Psalm 119:160 that says we have to use all of God's Word to establish truth about any particular doctrine. We just can't pull out what we want and use it, if other parts of God's Word say something to the contrary. There has to be a common ground where there is no contradiction between verses, if our doctrine is correct and true. God's word doesn't have any mistakes in it! CDBJ | ||||||
1702 | Does the OT talk about resurrection? | Matt 22:30 | CDBJ | 16889 | ||
Steve, I think that Daniel 12:1 is the verse that Paul is referring to in II Thess. 2:7 only he who now restrains will do so until he is taken out of the way. I.e. the one who guards God's sons. It fits like a glove. CDBJ |

1703 | Can I trust this Pastor? | Hebrews | CDBJ | 16845 | ||
You find a church that is a good Bible teaching church. The best way to know is to read the Bible your self every day, starting with the book of Matt, through Rev. at least 3 times before you go to the Old Testament. That way if something comes up that you are not sure of, you will know where the answers are. The Bible says that we have many teachers. The most important thing that I can tell you is this, before you read God’s Word , take time to pray and confess any known sin in your life (I John 1:9) and then ask God to give you wisdom concerning His word and understanding. Never try to establish doctrin until you have studied all the verses on a particular subject. Remember II Timothy 3:16 and II Timothy 2:15 I hope this helps CDBJ |

1704 | matthew chapter 24 what does is mean | Matthew | CDBJ | 16842 | ||
The same thing is told in I and II Thess. and in more details in Rev. 6:1-17 and 7:9-14. You might want to look at Joel 2:1—3:15 , Amos 5:18,19 and Obadiah 12-14,21 CDBJ | ||||||
1705 | Will Judas be on one of the thrones? | Matt 19:28 | CDBJ | 16714 | ||
I remember another situation where the people couldn’t weight for Gods timing . So they took maters into there own hands. And that’s why we are going to war now. The son of the bond woman,, is after the son of the free woman. There wouldn’t be a son from the bond, if Abraham would have depended on GOD for the promis of a son. CDBJ | ||||||
1706 | Are there stillborn Christians? | 1 Pet 2:2 | CDBJ | 16711 | ||
Tim,I thank you for the answer you gave and that was pretty much the same way I found the verse. I just thought that maybe by breaking it down all the way into case, voice, tense, and mood, that something else might show up that I didn’t see on the surface. Reason being there are so many lax Christians when it comes to studying God’s word, as He commanded us to do, that it bothers me. Yours in the musterion of Christ, CDBJ | ||||||
1707 | Are there stillborn Christians? | 1 Pet 2:2 | CDBJ | 16693 | ||
Charis, I know that there is no such thing as a stillbore Christian. Anything that the Lord does is perfect. I put this in the form of a question because it looks this way many times with people who go forward in some service to jump through someone’s psychological hoop. A lot of people think that they are saved because they walked an aisle or raised there hand or they did this that, or the other thing. All of these things are works if they didn’t truly trust in Christ at the time they did them. I ask a person one day how he knew that he was saved, his answer was that he went forward in a Billy Graham service, so therefore he must be. As far as the Bible goes, he didn’t even know John 3:16, and he was supposedly saved 15 years ago. It, pardon the expression, looked to me like he was stillborn! PS (I liked your comment, it sounds like we are on the same page.) CDBJ | ||||||
1708 | Shouldn't we obey ALL God's Word? | Matt 6:14 | CDBJ | 16441 | ||
Joe I am with you 100 percent with ref. to James 2:14. I think from a lot of the Questions that I see on the forum that there must be a number of people that have never truly come to a personal relationship with the Living Lord! When it comes right down to it, if they would be truthful in their answer, they don't know for sure that they have eternal life yet. When ask if they would die today, do they know for sure if they would go to heaven, there likely answer would be, well I hope so. When one hopes for something, it means they don't have it yet! The Lord pointed out an illustration to me, that I incorporated into a small book that I wrote on the word BELIEVE. The illustration is in ref. to James 2:17, in regard to faith and works. James 2:17 (Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.) My illustration is that faith is like poison ivy, and works is like scratching. If you have true faith in Jesus Christ, it will manifest it's self outwardly. I.e. If one has poison ivy they are going to scratch, they can't help it. Yet if a person doesn't have poison ivy, no amount of scratching in the World is going to give it to them. They have to come in contact with the vine to get it. There are a lot of people doing the things that true born again believers do, yet they are not members in the family of God. That's where the parable of the Wheat and the Tares comes in. It becomes very exasperating trying to reveal truth to those that can't see it. We find our selves trying to do the work of The Holy Spirit. We want people to find what we have found in Christ. That fact that we know right here and now that eternal life is ours in Christ, with out dying to find out. Jesus told Peter that flesh and blood couldn't reveal it, but God the father only. Even knowing this I still get frustrated trying to bring people to our precious Savior. God says that faith comes by hearing and that of His word, so we keep cranking it out with an expectation that the light will go on with someone. Yours in Christ CDBJ |

1709 | Will Judas be on one of the thrones? | Matt 19:28 | CDBJ | 16306 | ||
Don't you think it was nice of them to limit the Lord to one of two people, that (they) themselves had picked out? I was under the impression that the Lord would build His church. And on top of all this, when they picked these two, they hadn't been filled with the Holy Spirit yet! You think that it might have been Matthias? Where in the Bible do you hear from him again? The key to the one filling the position, according to Peter, is that the one must have been a witness to the resurrection of Christ and be taught by Him. Paul fills the bill, and can we say that he is never heard from in the Bible? I think not! Peter was always one to jump headlong into things, and sometimes he was wrong. In my estimation the 12th apostle that was called was Paul. CDBJ | ||||||
1710 | The Wrath to Come | 1 Thess 1:10 | CDBJ | 16229 | ||
I think that you are reading something into what I said. How you managed to get all that out of a simple comment about a few verses of scripture is beyond me, unless you work for the news media? As for America being part of the Eight Beast Empire, which consist of the iron and clay I might mention that all the way from the top of the head down to the toes of the beast that was envisioned, were anti-Semitic, which the United States is not! What happened on Sept. 9th, in my estimation is, nothing more then a continuation of the battle between Ishmael and Isaac. We got hammered because we stand up for Isaac and what is right. Romans 8:28 doesn't say that all things are good, but that God causes all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. I left out the first part of that verse for a reason and that is for emphasis; It reads, (And we know). This is to say that all believers are to know that our God is still in charge, even when things look so beak and that the forces of evil are at work with in our World or our Country. Please don't misconstrue what I was trying to convey. Yours in Christ CDBJ |

1711 | What is eternal life? What is saved? | John 6:37 | CDBJ | 16097 | ||
Tim, when our president says that the attack on our freedom is an act of war, I hope that it will not be fought like the on-going drug war. We don't seem to be getting anywhere with that one! CDBJ | ||||||
1712 | 'Conscientious Objection' Biblical? | Ex 20:13 | CDBJ | 16088 | ||

1713 | is the NIV a good bible to read? | Bible general Archive 1 | CDBJ | 16053 | ||
My church uses the NIV, I don't like it though. I like to study in the NAS, yet about everything that I have comitted to memory is out of the KJV. I actually use a lot of dif. translations including an Interlinear Greek - English New Testament. When it comes to word studies W.E. Vine has a book that is an expository of new Testament words, that's hard to beat for starters. Just remember that the foot notes in any Bible help, but they are not inspired. The best why to understand what Scripture is saying, is by checking it out with other scripture on the same subject. I hope this may help. CDBJ | ||||||
1714 | The Wrath to Come | 1 Thess 1:10 | CDBJ | 16037 | ||
I am pre-mil, but not pretrib. There is too much Scripture that refutes the pretrib. position. Actually the pretrib. concept didn’t show up until late in the 17th Century. The early church fathers didn’t share this view at all. CDBJ | ||||||
1715 | if someone take there own life where wil | NT general Archive 1 | CDBJ | 16003 | ||
What sin didn't Jesus die for? He paid for all but one sin, and that one sin is that of rejecting Jesus Christ as there Savior. Since Christ died for all our sin, the issue isn't sin, but what think yea of Christ. As long as we are still in the body of sin, even though we are saved, we will commit sins. That's why we have I John 1:9 This is a verse that keeps us in fellowship with God. As long as the person that sined in what ever way, was a true believer in Jesus they have eternal life. God knows what sins that we are going to commit after we saved and they don't come as a great shock to Him. Just because we do something dumb at a point of weakness isn't going to change God's mind about saving us! Just because we are weak does't mean that God changes His mind about saving us. Now that is real love. CDBJ | ||||||
1716 | The Wrath to Come | 1 Thess 1:10 | CDBJ | 16002 | ||
Don't confuse man's wrath, directed by Satan, with God's wrath. There was nothing supernatural about what happened today. The first six seals in Revelation are from Satan through man, God's wrath doesn't start until the seventh seal is finally broken. Look at verse Rev. 6:17. God seals His chosen ones that are to go through His wrath on earth, and the Elect are taken home. But before we are removed though, we will go through a lot of satanic activity. Just pray that you may accounted worthy to escape those things that are about to happen on the Earth. We are told to pray to escape Satan's wrath, not God's. The true believer in Jesus, that is trusting in Christ for his salvation, will not suffer the wrath of God! CDBJ |

1717 | Unbaptized children | Bible general Archive 1 | CDBJ | 15976 | ||
If a person must be baptized in (water) before they get to Heaven, do you suppose that Christ might have made a mistake when He told the thief on the cross next to Him that, this day you will be with me in paradise? CDBJ | ||||||
1718 | How can Christ return be imminent? | Bible general Archive 1 | CDBJ | 15134 | ||
The 3 major positions only use bits and peaces to try and prove thier point. In the prewrath format, all of the verses of Scripture, that pertain to end time events, are in perfect harmony and there are no contradictions, from the book of Genesis through Revelation; seeing that, was enough to convince me. If all the peaces fit around a peace of puzzle and the color is right, you must have the right peace. I have several friends that have read the book, who believed very firmly in the pretribulation concept, that have become prewrath, in there eschatology. It is hard to dispute something when it all adds up. The so-called imminency of the Christ return is relatively new, as far as church history goes: The prewrath concept was actually taught by Paul.

1719 | How can Christ return be imminent? | Bible general Archive 1 | CDBJ | 15023 | ||
When it comes to Eschatology, if believers have to be put in some kind of a pigeon hole, pretrib., midtrib., posttrib. They are overlooking a position, and that is prewrath. We all know that, whatever people stand on, in regard to the last days, that they get it from Scripture. They can't all be right, or can they? We know that God's Word is infallible; yet we appear to see contradictions. Jim says that 1/3 is right, Bill says it's 1/8, so who is right? They are both right, but they don't know how to tie it together until the see the common denominator, which is 24. The prewrath position is that common denominator. I've always been interested as to what will happen in the future ever since I trusted in Jesus about 35 years ago. I use to spend hours pouring over books on Eschatology, but there were always loose ends that didn't fit just right. Whenever I went into the local Christian bookstore I would always look in the prophecy section to see if there was anything that I hadn't read yet. I came across a book called The Rapture Question Answeered plain and simple by Robert VanKampen. On the same shelf was a book called the Pre-wrath Rapture of the Church By Marvin Rosenthal. I hadn't read either one of these, so I bought them both. In reading the first book, my eyes were opened to truth that I had never seen before. This guy found the common denominator, and I didn't want the book to end. Upon reading the second book, I was dumbfounded; He was in perfect agreement with the first book. I learned that VanKampen had a book that went into minute details, called The Sign. Well needless to say I had to get a copy of that and read it. It has over 500 pages with a full color fold out of illustrations. The in-depth study on the book of Revelation is very clear, which in my mind was hard to do. By the time I had finished the book I was no longer pretribulationial, but prewrath. Short of me writing you a 500 page note, prewrath would be hard for me to explain in its entirety. CDBJ |

Nolan-- Sorry about Isa.2:27, it must have been a senior moment where I meant to hit the #1 key but hit the 2 instead. It should have been Isa.2:17 where the Lord only will be exalted in that day. As for the believers not going through the wrath of God, Check out I Thess. 1:10. I think I should have been in bed when I was up trying to communicate on the pc; the old noggin doesn't work too well when it's tired. "Lord teach me to know how frail I am" Yours in Christ CDBJ | ||||||
