201 | Why are walls needed in Heaven? | Bible general Archive 4 | CDBJ | 235401 | ||
Greetings, Scripture doesn’t tell us why there are walls in heaven and anything that would be suggested would be pure speculation on the part of the responder. Here is a question for you. If you were to die within the next few minutes and find yourself outside one of those gates and God were to ask you; “Why should I let you come into my heaven”, what would your response be? There isn’t a wrong answer, CDBJ |

203 | don"t know chapter! | Bible general Archive 4 | CDBJ | 235627 | ||
Greetings and welcome to the forum. I’m note quite sure if this is what you are looking for but you are a we bit off track thinking that one has a second chance after the die to respond to the gospel message. There is a verse that backs this up in the gospel of John. John 3:18 (NKJV) 18 He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. Your next question might be, but what if they haven’t heard of Jesus. The book of John tells us that this is the responsibility of the Holy Spirit. John 16:8-10 (NKJV) 8 And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: 9 of sin, because they do not believe in Me; 10 of righteousness, because I go to My Father and you see Me no more; John 3:36 (NKJV) 36 He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him." Now the verses that you might be referring to is found in the following. 1 Peter 3:18-20 (NKJV) 18 For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive by the Spirit, 19 by whom also He went and preached to the spirits in prison, 20 who formerly were disobedient, when once the Divine longsuffering waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was being prepared, in which a few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water. The spirits here are those referred to in Genesis called in the Hebrew the "Nephilim" (or "giants") which were half human and half angelic. This is explained in Jude. Jude 1:6-7 (NKJV) 6 And the angels who did not keep their proper domain, but left their own abode, He has reserved in everlasting chains under darkness for the judgment of the great day; 7 as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them in a similar manner to these, having given themselves over to sexual immorality and gone after strange flesh, are set forth as an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. These were the spirits that tried to stop the promise of God which was that He would send the seed of the woman who would be the Messiah. Messiah would crush Satan’s head and provide our so great salvation which was the gift from God to all those that would trust in the work He would do. Romans 6:23 (NKJV) 23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. I hope I haven’t confused you and that you enjoy the forum, CDBJ |

204 | the word every mean allwith noexceptions | Bible general Archive 4 | CDBJ | 235667 | ||
Greetings, Your question,” Genesis 6:19 does the word every mean all members or classes with no exceptions?” The Hebrew language does not lend itself to specifics as does the Koine Greek with exact distinctions such as tense, case, mood, and voice. If you would take the time to exegete the word in question in the Septuagint you could likely come to an answer that would satisfy or detract from your point of reasoning. The Hebrew has only this to consider with out spending hours deciphering the word translated from, “HAYA”. (Vine’s) Usage Number: 1 Part Of Speech: Verb Strong's Number: H2421 Original Word:, haya Usage Notes: "to live." This verb, which has cognates in most other Semitic languages (except Akkadian), occurs 284 times in biblical Hebrew and in all periods. In the ground stem this verb connotes "having life": "And Adam lived a hundred and thirty years…" (Gen. 5:3). A similar meaning appears in Num. 14:38 and Josh. 9:21. The intensive form of haya means "to preserve alive": "…Two of every sort shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee…" (Gen. 6:19). This word may also mean "to bring to life" or "to cause to live": "…I dwell… with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones" (Isa. 57:15). "To live" is more than physical existence. According to Deut. 8:3, "man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the Lord doth man live." Moses said to Israel: "…Love the Lord thy God… that thou mayest live and multiply" (Deut. 30:16). Vine's Expository Dictionary of Old Testament and New Testament Words. Sorry to say this word doesn’t cover intricate aspects of any phylum. CDBJ |

207 | ARE THE TEN COMMANDMENTS ABOLISHED ? | Bible general Archive 4 | CDBJ | 235707 | ||
Greetings, I realize that you said specifically the “Ten Commandments”, which is what is considered to be codex number one of the Mosaic law of which there are three; codex 1, codex 2, codex 3. I would like to start with the verse that you alluded to Gal. 3:19. Galatians 3:19 (NKJV) 19 What purpose then does the law serve? It was added because of transgressions, till the Seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was appointed through angels by the hand of a mediator. The portion of the verse, “till the Seed should come” actually answers the reason for the NO in my response. The word “till” in the English is translated from the Koine Greek word “ACHRE” and should be translated “UNTILL” being the preposition in the genitive case. Note translation in the Galatians 3:19 (NASB) 19 Why the Law then? It was added because of transgressions, having been ordained through angels by the agency of a mediator, until the seed would come to whom the promise had been made. There is a duration of time involved abrogating codex one when the seed, which was promised, should come, i.e. the Messiah or the Christ. Jesus Christ is the end of the law for those that are in Him or born again believers, the children of God by faith in Christ. Romans 10:4 (NASB) 4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes. Those that have put their total trust or faith alone in Jesus alone, for their eternal state, are actually under a higher law once they rely on the finished work that was completed on the cross by God’s Son. Romans 8:2-4 (NASB) 2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death. 3 For what the Law could not do, weak as it was through the flesh, God did: sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and as an offering for sin, He condemned sin in the flesh, 4 so that the requirement of the Law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. What Paul is telling us in Galatians is that the commandments point out to us that we a helpless, hopeless and condemned by the law. I like to illustrate our position under the law. Visualize a pole sticking out over Grand Canyon and hanging from the pole is a chain containing ten links, as it were. On the bottom link is a chair welded to the chain and you are sitting in the chair. The chain with its ten links represents the 10 commandments. God has said the following, Romans 3:23 (NASB) 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, This is telling us that the chain just broke due to at least one link falling. How many links does one have to break before they are headed for the bottom of the canyon which is a mile down? (Just one) The only option left is to scream out GOD HELP ME PLEASE!!!! God has done exactly that in the person of His Son Jesus the appointed one. That is what the word Messiah or Christ means, appointed one. God appointed His Son to take your place in the chair and crash at the bottom and in doing so He, Christ gives you what He Has or deserves, everlasting life with the righteousness of God. 2 Corinthians 5:21 (NASB) 21 He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. That’s why I said, Yes and No to the Ten Commandments. Have you come to the place yet where you know, without a shadow of doubt that you have everlasting life with God when you die? It’s a sure thing because Jesus paid the price and God the Father was satisfied with the work that He did on the cross. God promises us eternal life as a gift and He gives us that gift when we put all of our hope in what Jesus did for us, we can’t earn eternal life by doing anything. When we try to work or earn something we are given wages, look what God says about wages. Romans 6:23 (NASB) 23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. There isn’t any other way to get to heaven but by Jesus Christ and faith in Him. John 14:6 (NASB) 6 Jesus *said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me. Here is a set of promises that you can truly believe in. 1 John 5:10-13 (NASB) 10 The one who believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself; the one who does not believe God has made Him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has given concerning His Son. 11 And the testimony is this, that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. 12 He who has the Son has the life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have the life. 13 These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life. I hope this clears up my answer to your question and that you have made a decision for Christ as I did many years ago, CDBJ |

210 | ARE THE TEN COMMANDMENTS ABOLISHED ? | Bible general Archive 4 | CDBJ | 235718 | ||
When the Bible says that the wages of sin is death; what is it referring to since there are 7 different types of death mentioned in the Bible? Romans 6:23 (NKJV) (A) 23 For the wages of sin is death, When Jesus said it is finished in John 19:30 he wasn’t dead yet so it couldn’t have been His physical that paid the price for sin. John 19:30 (NKJV) 30 So when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, "It is finished!" And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit. The word finished in the English is translated from the Koine Greek verb “TELEO” and it is in the indicative mood which means it was “already a reality” at that point in time and the passive voice meaning He had received it so it wasn’t physical death that paid the price! The blood as referred in the OT is what’s known as a representative analogy: it foreshadowed what the Messiah would accomplish when He came into the world. It could only cover sin at that point in time until the Lamb of God would take it away. Again what death was it that paid the price for sin? If you suggest that it was physical death then when we die physically that would pay for our own sins and that won’t cut it! CDBJ |

Greetings, Just to set the record straight: God didn’t say what is written in “most” of our English translations of God’s Word. Exodus 20:13 (KJV) 13 Thou shalt not kill. The more exact translation for kill, in the English, is taken from the Hebrew word, “RASAH” and it should read as it is found in the NASB or New American Standard Bible. Exodus 20:13 (NASB) 13 "You shall not murder. Murder is used with reference to a civil code where as to kill is referring to the function of military forces in a time of war and believers are supposed to be the best at it while under God’s instruction. Psalm 144:1 (NASB) 1 Blessed be the LORD, my rock, Who trains my hands for war, And my fingers for battle; CDBJ |

The best translator of the Bible is the Bible it’s self. Matthew 16:28 (NKJV) 28 Assuredly, I say to you, there are some standing here who shall not taste death till they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom." Matthew 17:1-3 (NKJV) 1 Now after six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John his brother, led them up on a high mountain by themselves; 2 and He was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and His clothes became as white as the light. 3 And behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with Him. Suffice to say with the exact dates in question, that the original Word of God wasn’t divided into chapters and verses. The Bible was divided into present-day chapters by Stephen Langton about 1200 CE. Verses were separated and numbered by Robert Stephanus in 1557. What I am trying to say is, when Matt. 16:28 is connected with Matt. 17:1-3, i.e. no chapter brake, the situation makes sense. It tells who the individuals are and what they saw. Text taken out of context is usually for a pretext! CDBJ |

216 | which cult dREW Christianity baPTISM | Bible general Archive 4 | CDBJ | 235749 | ||
Greetings and welcome to the forum. There are some who would contend that baptism was first practiced by the Egyptian cults and it was also practiced buy the Israelites of old but the actual facts are as follows. The word baptism is actually a transliteration from the word, “BAPTIZMA” and it was “first used” by Homer in his infamous Homeric Epics the Iliad and the Odyssey. The first use of baptism was depicted by a sword being plunged into a blood bath, this was a tempering process that hardened it and it gave it an association with the blood from that point on. We, being those that have put the entirety of their faith in the Son of God and the work that He finished on the cross, are "then" plunged into water. A ritual, like an oath, "to show" our eternal association with Jesus Christ our Saviour, God the Father and God the Holy Spirit from then on. It’s interesting to note that the Bible revels two types of baptism, one being wet, which is a ritual and the other one being dry, which is real. Matthew 3:11 (NKJV) 11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance, (i.e. a change of thinking about the person of Jesus the Christ) but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, (because He is the Lord God all Mighty) whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. (One and or the other as a believer or an unbeliever) I hope this helps and that you enjoy the forum, CDBJ |

217 | Are they still alive | Bible general Archive 4 | CDBJ | 235759 | ||
Then the answer is: yes they are still alive, it was Peter, James and John and yes they saw Christ in His glory and kingdom and yes they did "taste" of death, i.e. absent from the body and face to face with the Lord. No biblical verses to prove it at this point, since that isn't what you say you wanted, CDBJ |

219 | Are they still alive | Bible general Archive 4 | CDBJ | 235769 | ||
I know exactly what you mean but unless you can except what the Bible says with regards to that statement by Christ, which is answered in the next chapter it doesn't make any sense unless you have been deluded by the “false doctrine of preterism”. Jesus was refering to His transfigurition, which it explained in the next chapter in the first few verses. CDBJ |

Greetings, If you are asserting that the Kingdom came on the day of Pentecost there would be a glitch in your thesis especially since you used Matt.16:28 Is this what Matt. 16:28 says? Matthew 16:28 28 Verily I say unto you, “all of you standing here”, shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom. i.e. they were all there for Pentecost, right? The answer is yes but that isn’t what Matt16:28 says now is it? Matthew 16:28 (KJV) 28 Verily I say unto you, There be “some” standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom. The word "some" is translated from the Koine Greek and it is the enclitic indefinite pronoun “TIS”. If it would have meant all, as you suggest, The adjective “PAS” would have been used. The Kingdom that was being referred to is when Christ returns in full visible Glory, Peter, James and John were given a ring side seat for the later coming attraction in Matt. 17;1-3 Matthew 17:1-3 (KJV) 1 And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart, 2 And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light. 3 And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him. When this finally takes place and the Kingdom comes God’s perfect will, will be done on Earth as it is in heavenand the enemies of Christ will be made His foot stool! Jesus won’t be seated at the right hand of the Father at this time. He will be on the move as displayed in Rev. 1:7. Revelation 1:7 (KJV) 7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen. I must say you certainly formulated a plausible concept though that took a lot of effort and thinking. CDBJ |
