201 | Kill your brother and drink strong drink | James 2:10 | CDBJ | 211030 | ||
Hi Pete and welcome to the forum. One of the worst things that I did years ago was to try and understand the Bible by starting in Genesis. One cannot understand God's word apart from being lead by His Spirit and in order to do that one needs a relationship with God's Son Jesus Christ. 1 Cor. 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. The best advice that I could give you would be to start in the New Testament with Matthew and up through John then read John again before reading anything else. Be sure and ask God to reveal the truth to you before you study. Have a great day, CDBJ |

202 | the name of all the angel in the bible | Heb 1:14 | CDBJ | 210389 | ||
Hi Steve, I think there is another one making a total of three. Rev. 9:11 And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon. CDBJ |

203 | do we have authority to forgive sins ? | Mark 16:17 | CDBJ | 210305 | ||
Hi Jeff and welcome to the forum. We don't have the authority to forgive sin but we have the authority and are commanded to present the gospel message of Christ Jesus to a lost world and if those that hear the message through the work of the Holy Spirit believe in Christ their sins will be forgiven that very moment. That’s not to say that they won’t sin anymore but if they do they can be forgiven by confessing or naming their sins to the Father. 1 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. The “we” in the verse is for believers only which have already trusted in God’s Son Jesus Christ for eternal life. . I hope you enjoy the forum, CDBJ |

Greetings and glad to hear that your position in Christ is secure!! Taking just the book of Revelation as an example; almost everything in Rev. is repetitious it just ties everything together. Here is a site that expounds on future things and ties them in with the Old Testament. http://www.solagroup.org/ Type in the search section of your inter net provided the following. How do we know the Bible is complete? Then hit enter and you can spend hours with the results. Have fun, CDBJ |

Greetings Confused, I don’t know how much of the Bible you have read but there is a portion of it that is very pertinent with regards to your question. In order to find that out there is a specific question that you can answer that will set things in motion for giving you a clear perspective on the Bible. The Question for you is this: Have you come to the place yet where you can say, with out a shadow of doubt, that you will go to heaven when you pass from this present life? I realize this is an awesome question but do you have that assurance yet? 1 John 5:13 (GW) I've written this to those who believe in the Son of God (( so that they will know that they have eternal life.)) Have a great day, CDBJ |

207 | How many Gods | Bible general Archive 4 | CDBJ | 209870 | ||
Question, When the following was spoken by Thomas do you suppose that he could have had an insight that you might be lacking? John 20:28 And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God. Couple that with what these verses. Matthew 28:18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. We all know that God will judge everyone at some point in time so just who is it that’s doing the judging? John 5:22 For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son: God is a spirit therefore He has no blood yet if Jesus isn’t God how could the next verse be possible? Acts 20:28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he (God) hath purchased with his own blood. Your theology appears to have a few holes in it and I can see why you wouldn’t bother answering this post “if in fact you realize” what I have posted with scripture is true! CDBJ |

208 | why do we have to call Jesus -Lord Jesus | Rom 10:9 | CDBJ | 209817 | ||
Hello Meta, That sounds agreeable. It would still be nice and appreciated if you would fill out your personal profile. Most all that remain on the forum for any length of time have done so; it’s almost like a hand shake in a face to face situation or a personal introduction, if you get my drift. There are those that shy away from posting with those that haven't taken the time to fill this section out because the assume that they might have a hidden agenda lurking there someplace and the ones not filling this out aren’t being forthright. Matthew 5:14-16 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. 15Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. 16Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

209 | why do we have to call Jesus -Lord Jesus | Rom 10:9 | CDBJ | 209801 | ||
Everything that Jesus said was scripture. John 1:1-3 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2The same was in the beginning with God. 3All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. Using chapter and verse only clarifies the exact section of scripture that is being use to establish specific truth. The where no chapter and verses in the writings of original languages, it wasn’t until the mid 1500 that it was all made available to us in the English. (The following is from the following) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chapters_and_verses_of_the_Bible The first English New Testament to use the verse divisions was a 1557 translation by William Whittingham (c. 1524-1579). The first Bible in English to use both chapters and verses was the Geneva Bible published shortly afterwards in 1560. These verse divisions soon gained acceptance as a standard way to notate verses, and have since been used in nearly all English Bibles. Have a nice day CDBJ |

Greetings, Is it a point of winning on a Bible study forum or pointing out from scripture where the truth stands? John 17:17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. You have posted five times in this past series and not once have you pointed out actual chapters or verses. I realize you know the characters of the Bible but chapter and verse is needed to prove a point. 2 Tim. 3:16-17 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, 17that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work. Please debate with proof, CDBJ |

212 | Alter Calls? | Rom 10:9 | CDBJ | 209656 | ||
Dear Meta, My intent of seven years ago wasn’t to use, the word of God “so flippantly”, as you suggest. My emphasis was to point out that we aren’t saved by asking Jesus to come into our hearts, per se. If you can point out that particular verse from scripture I would welcome it most assuredly. If one is saved when they express such an action it isn’t the verbiage that saved them but the fact that they believed in Jesus and what He accomplished for them on the cross. Ephes. 2:8 (A) For by grace are ye saved through faith; There are many parenthetical actions that might accompany faith in Christ but they are in fact just that, and they are useless apart from the total undivided trust in the Saviour. 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. I’m sorry that what was said upset you, as evidently it did since you responded as you did. When leading someone to Christ I always make it a point that one doesn’t have to jump through and particular psychological hoop that I might suggest but that they must have total faith in who and what Jesus is, the appointed one of God, and what He did for them on the cross. In parting, I noticed that you have neglected to take part in the section on the left side of the home page, “update User Info”, seeing that you have been a believer for 39 years now, I’m sure there are many on the forum that would be interested in seeing how the Lord has been working through your life, if you would be so kind as to share that with us? You can click the author of any posting and get a little of their background if you so desire. Please share something of yourself with us and again I’m very sorry if what I said upset you. To God be the glory, CDBJ |

213 | Does this 'star' relate to Wormwood in 8 | Rev 9:1 | CDBJ | 208604 | ||
Greetings and welcome to the forum. An observation that I considered some years ago about the object Wormwood with regards to Rev. 8:11: it could land in one piece in Lake Superior and cause the effect mentioned in Revelation. Over 1/3 of the worlds fresh water is located in the Great Lakes with Lake Superior being at the head waters. Just pure speculation but food for thought. Rev. 8:11 And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter. I hope you enjoy the forum, CDBJ |

214 | Adam and Eve Perfect or Flawed | 1 Tim 2:11 | CDBJ | 208201 | ||
Hi John, Have you ever wondered, as I have, why Adam and Eve never ate of the tree of life “before” they ate of the tree of the knowledge of Good and evil? They weren’t commanded not to eat of it yet they didn’t eat from it. Of all the trees in the garden only those two specific trees were designated to produce a certain result if eaten yet they never bothered to eat from the tree of life and after they sinned they were guarded from it. The next place we find the tree of life is in the holy city from heaven where people are permitted to eat from it. Rev. 22:2 In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. Rev. 22:14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. Have a great day, CDBJ. |

215 | Heb6:4-6 Loosing salvation or what? | Heb 6:4 | CDBJ | 207615 | ||
Hi Beja, I would like to contribute some food for thought to the verses in debate. Within the grammar of the Koine Greek there is what’s known as a conditional clause, which begins with the equivalent translated “if” in the English. There are four different ways to translate and understand the “if”clause. 1st class condition ---- if and it is true (Matt. 4:6) 2nd class “ ---- if and it isn’t true (Matt. 4:9 John 4:10) 3rd class “ ---- if maybe it’s true and maybe it’s not (1John 1:9) Probability. 4th class “ ---- if I wish it were true but it’s not (Acts 17:27 1Peter 3:14, 17) Possibility. Most of those that assume they can loose their salvation don’t take into consideration the following if their premise could be correct. Verses 4- 6 of Hebrews 6 is essence says that it is impossible to be “resaved” as it were, because of the following reason. Hebrews 6:4-6 they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame. So if one could be saved and then lose their salvation they can’t ever be saved again. Now on the side of “logic”, since God is omniscient i.e. He knows all things, why would He bother saving them in the first place if He knew they were going to lose it. “My” salvation didn’t depend on me to get it and it doesn’t depend on me to sustain it; it’s all a grace operation and my God gets all the credit. “Being a child of God” I can either be blessed in grace or disciplined in grace but God is going to conform me to the image of His Son, be it the easy way or the hard way, God will accomplish His purpose for calling me and you can take that to the bank! The Lord will either orientate me to grace here on Earth or take me home and do it real quick. Have a great day, CDBJ |

216 | Death God's friend or enemy? | 1 Cor 15:25 | CDBJ | 207582 | ||
“I”, have no doubt at all that I will see Adam in heaven seeing that he believed God by accepting God's provision for his sin. Adam likely didn’t even understand death completely until God had to take the life of some of Adams precious animals to cover up what Adam and Eve did. The temporary covering was only until the seed of Adam could pay the price that would actually remove Adam’s death curse and pay the full and final price and return Adam as a son of God by grace through faith in God's provision.

217 | Why Could He Not Do Many Miracles? | Luke 9:42 | CDBJ | 207156 | ||
Greetings, God has a plan for my life and I’ve entered this plan of God’s, called grace, by an undivided trust in His precious unique Son, Jesus the Christ. Since I am a child of God, John 1:12, everything that God does for me comes as a result of His grace: grace is all that God is free to do for me on the basis of the cross. If I suffer ill health it’s for God’s purpose, Romans 8:28 And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. 1 Thes. 5:18 in everything give thanks; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. God’s grace is sufficient for all my needs be they joyous or unpleasant sufferings. God is 0mnipresent which means that I don’t have to go to any specific place to receive His grace blessings. Christ made provisions for me to enter the throne room of heaven into the very presence of God when I am in need of help from any location there is and at any time, and on top of that I can have confidence with boldness because of what Jesus accomplished for me on the cross. Hebrews 4:14-16 Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. 15For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin. 16Let us therefore draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and may find grace to help in time of need. Hebrews 4:1 Therefore, let us fear lest, while a promise remains of entering His rest, any one of you should seem to have come short of it. Grace be to you this day, CDBJ |

219 | married | Heb 13:4 | CDBJ | 206645 | ||
Greetings Cody, You have me confused for sure! What do those verses have to do with heaven being empty even if it were true about living together as you stated. You made the comment: “If married people arent suppose to live together then everyone since Adam and Eve has broken what God has said and Heaven must be empty.” Everyone since Adam and Eve have actually gone against God but that doesn’t mean that heaven is empty. “We are all eternally separated” from God because of Adam’s sin. But God has resolved this problem “for all those” that are willing to exhibit an “undivided trust and belief” in “Jesus, God’s Son”, and what “He” did for us on the cross. 1 Cor. 15:22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive. Being in Christ isn’t an automatic thing like being in Adam; have you made that decision yet or is that something you're still working on? Have a great day, CDBJ |
