21 | Can one connect with first centuty sins? | John 9:1 | CDBJ | 158605 | ||
Hello LC133 Here is a question for you. What happened to the couple, in Acts 5:1-11 when they decided to play a little game of deception with the things that belonged to the church? Did the lord look on their deception with favor and how did HE show that they wouldn’t do it again? CDBJ |

22 | Text out of context for our feelings? | Rev 21:1 | CDBJ | 157742 | ||
Almost every funeral that I have attend, where a believer has gone home to be with the Lord, the one officiating will say; “Brother or sister, so and so, has gone to a place where there is no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain”. The conditions spoken of in Revelation are brought out to those in attendance at the funeral, as immediate conditions for the deceased. In “my” estimation, the situation is being placed out of setting and it isn’t correct to infer that the one who has just passed away will actually be enjoying "all" of the benefits mentioned in the verse in Revelation 21:4 upon their arrival with the Lord. Rev. 21:1-5 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. [2] And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. [3] And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. [4] And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. [5] And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. Are there any thoughts that would suggest otherwise on the timing of the events taking place in Rev. 21:1-5 The way I see it, verse 4 can’t precede verses 1-3 and the key to the timing is found in the first 3 verses. Have a nice day, CDBJ |

24 | The dress code of the day? | Matt 22:11 | CDBJ | 156248 | ||
Matthew 22:1-14 states the following. Matthew 22:1-14 (NASB) And Jesus answered and spoke to them again in parables, saying, [2] "The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king, who gave a wedding feast for his son. [3] "And he sent out his slaves to call those who had been invited to the wedding feast, and they were unwilling to come. [4] "Again he sent out other slaves saying, 'Tell those who have been invited, "Behold, I have prepared my dinner; my oxen and my fattened livestock are all butchered and everything is ready; come to the wedding feast." ' [5] "But they paid no attention and went their way, one to his own farm, another to his business, [6] and the rest seized his slaves and mistreated them and killed them. [7] "But the king was enraged and sent his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and set their city on fire. [8] "Then he said to his slaves, 'The wedding is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy. [9] 'Go therefore to the main highways, and as many as you find there, invite to the wedding feast.' [10] "And those slaves went out into the streets, and gathered together all they found, both evil and good; and the wedding hall was filled with dinner guests. [11] "But when the king came in to look over the dinner guests, he saw there a man not dressed in wedding clothes, [12] and he said to him, 'Friend, how did you come in here without wedding clothes?' And he was speechless. [13] "Then the king said to the servants, 'Bind him hand and foot, and cast him into the outer darkness; in that place there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.' [14] "For many are called, but few are chosen." For a better understand of Scripture it helps to understand the era in which it was written. The Question is this. Did the kings of old, Christ era, provide robes for the entire guest list to wear to the wedding feast? What were the acceptable “wedding clothes� Have a great day, CDBJ |

25 | Do we need prophets today? | 1 Cor 12:28 | CDBJ | 135520 | ||
In view of the fact that we have the completed Word of God, the Bible, is the gift of prophecy still in operation today and if so is it necessary apart from Scripture? 1 John 4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

26 | Prayer needed!!!! | Bible general Archive 2 | CDBJ | 128153 | ||
To all please, I just noticed that our nation has been put on a high terrorist alert, orange; which means that we, as Christians, should be on a high priority prayer alert to pray for our nation and its leaders! 1 Tim. 2:1-2 I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; [2] For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. Part of our responsibility as believers in Christ, CDBJ |

30 | Peace and safety or great tribulation? | Luke 17:26 | CDBJ | 62083 | ||
There are verses of Scripture that indicate that every thing will be just fine here on Earth just before the day of the Lord. Then there are verses that say just the opposite; so what gives? Luke 17:26-28 And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. [27] They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all. [28] Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; 1 Thes. 4:16-18 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: [17] Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. [18] Wherefore comfort one another with these words. 1 Thes. 5:1-4 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. [2] For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. [3] For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. [4] But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. Yet with this in mind Jesus makes a statement that would seem to contradict these thoughts. Matthew 24:21-22 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. [22] And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened. This doesn’t sound like peace and safety to me unless there are different groups of people being mentioned? |

31 | Who can refute reasoning? | Bible general Archive 1 | CDBJ | 37032 | ||
People have been responding on this forum with what they think is within the responsibility of those that believe, in order to be saved; the options are varied. The big ones are baptism, communion, speaking with tongues and faith with works. All of these can be eliminated by one verse or another when one uses the Scripture as the final authority. I would like to ask if there is any way to eliminate what I have to suggest, that comes from Isaiah. Isaiah 1:18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. The one thing that cannot be eliminated from the process of salvation that is found in Isaiah, is REASON! We all know that God has provided salvation to all through His Son. John wrote his portion of the gospel so that we might have life by believing in Jesus. 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. The only thing that one must include in order to have salvation is the ability to think, or as God said through Isaiah, the ability to reason. The process of reasoning is none meritorious action on the part of the one doing the thinking and the Holy Spirit guides the thought process. As long as a person has the ability to reason they can be saved. The ability to do anything but reason it excluded and that takes care of all the other scenarios otherwise God is a respecter of persons, which we know is false. Reasoning is the only possible option for the thief on the cross because he can do nothing, other then think. A person could be buried hundreds of feet under ground in a mine and unable to talk to anyone, be baptized, speak in tongues or anything else, but if they can still reason, God is able to save their soul, if they are willing to believe in Jesus Christ and trust in Him for their eternal future. Can anyone refute this with Scripture? CDBJ |

32 | Are all at the white throne judg. lost? | Revelation | CDBJ | 35298 | ||
Revelation 20:11 speaks of the great white throne and the assumption is that all that are judged at this judgment will be the lost. If that is the case why is verse 15 of chapter 20 even recorded? Rev. 20:11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. Rev. 20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. |

33 | The GAP theory could be true. | Genesis | CDBJ | 177520 | ||
We know that all true science parse, backs up the Bible and when the truth of scripture is found, it always stands in judgment of us, we never stand in judgment of it. There are those that say that the GAP theory of the Bible, Gen.1:1 to Gen. 1:2, has no grounds even though there are different concepts even within the GAP theory. Now it is a proven fact that some petroleum is found at depth over a mile deep. Now that is a great amount of mantel or earth over the top of it. It is also a proven fact that petroleum is made up of compressed decaying organic mater, plant and animal life, that's not disputed. Gen. 6:14 is the command to Noah: Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch. There are areas where petroleum comes to the surface i.e. slime pits. Petroleum is formed under Earth's surface by the decomposition of marine organisms. The remains of tiny organisms that live in the sea and, to a lesser extent, those of land organisms that are carried down to the sea in rivers and of plants that grow on the ocean bottoms are enmeshed with the fine sands and silts that settle to the bottom in quiet sea basins. Such deposits, which are rich in organic materials, become the source rocks for the generation of crude oil. The process began many millions of years ago with the development of abundant life, and it continues to this day. The sediments grow thicker and sink into the seafloor under their own weight. As additional deposits pile up, the pressure on the ones below increases several thousand times, and the temperature rises by several hundred degrees. The mud and sand harden into shale and sandstone; carbonate precipitates and skeletal shells harden into limestone; and the remains of the dead organisms are transformed into crude oil and natural gas. Once the petroleum forms, it flows upward in Earth's crust because it has a lower density than the brines that saturate the interstices of the shale's, sands, and carbonate rocks that constitute the crust of Earth. The crude oil and natural gas rise into the microscopic pores of the coarser sediments lying above. Frequently, the rising material encounters an impermeable shale or dense layer of rock that prevents further migration; the oil has become trapped, and a reservoir of petroleum is formed. A significant amount of the upward-migrating oil, however, does not encounter impermeable rock but instead flows out at the surface of Earth or onto the ocean floor. Surface deposits also include bituminous lakes and escaping natural gas and slime pits. The time from Adam to Noah was not enough time to make petroleum much less put over a mile of earth on top of it, as is the case: Therefore giving rise to some possibility of the GAP theory. I am NOT saying that there was human life before God created Adam, I am saying that between Gen.1:1 and 2, that God was preparing Earth for man, thus the GAP. |

35 | The future of loved pets | Genesis | CDBJ | 19108 | ||
I don't know of any verses to help me with what I am going through, as far as grief. Someone shot my pet that I loved, very, very much and I had to have it put to sleep. Having it was such a joy and it was such a friend; it was just a little over a year old and so full of life. The Bible says that when we loose a person, that is a believer, that we sorrow not as those who have no hope, because we know that we will see them again and be with them, just as king David stated about the loss of his young son. I went to the Throne of Grace and ask for the Lord to help me with this problem and that was all I could do. There might be some that think I am very foolish about this but believe me I really hurt. Does anyone have any verses on the future of animals or at least a good comforting concept? I know from scripture that there are horses in Heaven but what else. A suffering brother in Christ, CDBJ | ||||||
