23 | Serious "option" for believers! | Not Specified | CDBJ | 194490 | ||
REDEMPTION is a “provision” of God and without it there is no spiritual life. Romans 3:24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: 1 Cor. 1:30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: FORGIVNESS on the other hand is an “option” for the believer and without it one can’t progress in his spiritual life. Ephes. 4:30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. 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 question is: What grieves the Holy Spirit even though we, as believers, are sealed by Him? I believe that failure to “understand” and “implement” this critical doctrine is one of the largest factors that causes believers to remain as infants in the Christian way of life! CDBJ |

24 | Knowledge of why they are in torment? | Not Specified | CDBJ | 196489 | ||
The Bible tells us that the number entering into destruction is many in comparison to the few that find eternal life in Christ. Matthew 7:13-14 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 14Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. Those that find eternal life know that they have eternal because of God’s grace through the work of God’s Son Jesus Christ and the teaching ministry of the Holy Spirit. My question: Does the Bible emphasis when “unbelievers” die physically and they find themselves in constant torment; do they actually know why they are there? The section in Rev. 20:12 is a ways off in future; what do the dead “outside” of Christ know now when they die? CDBJ |

25 | Age mentioned in the Bible | Not Specified | CDBJ | 199524 | ||
A brother asked me a question in church this morning and I only knew half of the answer. The question is; What two woman, given by name in the Bible, have their age mentioned in Scripture? I knew Sarah was one but I can’t find or figure out who the other might be. Does anyone happen to know this little piece of information, I don’t? Thanks ahead of time, CDBJ |

26 | Most important doctrines? | Not Specified | CDBJ | 215553 | ||
What do you consider to be the top three most important doctrines that the Bible teaches and why. I think that most all “true Christians” would agree that number one on the list would be the doctrine of salvation in Christ Jesus; how about number two and three and why? CDBJ |

27 | Who should baptize? | Not Specified | CDBJ | 218188 | ||
Who has the right to baptize someone who has believed in Jesus as their Saviour when they ask to be baptized by the one who has worked toward making them a disciple? Matthew 28:19-20 "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, 20teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age."

28 | What is the Gift of God in Ephes, 2:8,9 | Not Specified | CDBJ | 219190 | ||
Paul in writing Ephes. 2:8,9 uses in the formation of these verses what is called a parataxis. With this in mind what actually is the gift of God “according to Scripture”? Ephes. 2:8-9 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9Not of works, lest any man should boast. CDBJ |

29 | When were saints of the OT born again? | Not Specified | CDBJ | 219748 | ||
After accidentally considering several verses alongside each other I’ve come up with a perplexing question. I will start with the verses that influenced my trend of thought then ask for you input. John 3:3 Jesus answered and said to him, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." (Critical point: unless one is born again) (Further consideration: he cannot enter into the kingdom of God apart from being born again!) John 3:5 Jesus answered, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 1st premise: There is a necessity of the utmost importance that one must be “born again” if they wish to enter heaven. John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life. 2nd Premise from the following verse: at this particular point in time Jesus was the only begotten Son of God. The way is open for others to become sons or offspring of God is shown in the next verse. John 1:12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name, The next verse to consider speaks of the first-born, i.e. there “will be more” but Jesus is the first. Hebrews 1:6 And when He again brings the first-born into the world, He says, "AND LET ALL THE ANGELS OF GOD WORSHIP HIM." 3rd premise Jesus was the “first of many” to come due to the use of the word “first-born” now instead of only begotten; forethought is the consideration of sons to come. (We are getting closer to the postulate and here is what I like to call the zinger.) When where the believers of the Old Testament actually born again, considering John 3:5 is a must and comparing it to the fact that Jesus was the first born among many brethren. Romans 8:28 I personally think the answer might resides somewhere in the following verse by I would like more input into the matter. 1 Peter 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, (Finally the question) Could this be “part of the reason” that the souls of the Old Testament believers were restrained in sheol and not born again until the sacrifice of the lamb of God was resurrected and the Old Testament saints weren’t actually born again until, as 1 peter states in 1:3, “be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,”? This verse should likely be included. Ephes. 4:8 Therefore it says, "WHEN HE ASCENDED ON HIGH, HE LED CAPTIVE A HOST OF CAPTIVES, AND HE GAVE GIFTS TO MEN." Thanks ahead for your response, CDBJ |

30 | God can't die or look on sin! | Not Specified | CDBJ | 225393 | ||
Jesus Christ in Him hypostatic union is 100 percent God and at the same time 100 percent man. Scripture tells us that there was darkness from the sixth hour to the ninth hour and that Jesus screamed out. Matthew 27:45 Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour. Matthew 27:46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? It is assumed by most evangelicals, i.e. born again believers, that God the father during that period of time poured out the sins of the world on His Son, Jesus Christ. 1 John 2:2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. Jesus was made sin at that point in time and God can’t look on sin, 2 Cor. 5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. i.e. Thanatos in the Koine Greek or what we call in the English, spiritual death or separation from God. Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Jesus is the most important person who has ever lived since he is the savior, God in human flesh. He is not half God and half man. He is fully divine and fully man. In other words, Jesus has two distinct natures: divine and human. Jesus is the Word who was God and was with God and was made flesh, (John 1:1,14). This means that in the single person of Jesus is both a human and divine nature, God and man. The divine nature was not changed when the Word became flesh (John 1:1,14). Instead, the Word was joined with humanity (Col. 2:9). Jesus' divine nature was not altered. Also, Jesus is not merely a man who "had God within Him" nor is he a man who "manifested the God principle." He is God in flesh, second person of the Trinity. "The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word," (Heb. 1:3). Jesus' two natures are not "mixed together," (Eutychianism) nor are they combined into a new God-man nature (Monophysitism). They are separate yet act as a unit in the one person of Jesus. This is called the Hypostatic Union. Now here comes the question and the problem, as it were! Since Jesus is 100 percent God as well as man what did the second person of the trinity do at the moment Christ was made sin for us? CDBJ |

31 | It's up to the believer to be filled, HS | Not Specified | CDBJ | 236103 | ||
The Word of God commands us to be filled with the Spirit, i.e. the Holy Spirit. Ephesians 5:18 (NKJV) 18 And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit, This command, “be filled with the Spirit” comes to us from the Koine Greek verb (PLEROO). This verb isn’t a suggestion but a command in the “imperative mood”; not doing so would instantly produce a sin. It’s in the “present tense”, which connotes a continuous action or keep on doing this; i.e. being filled with the Spirit and it literally means to fill up a deficiency. Pleroo, or being filled is in the “passive voice”, thus the believer receives the action of the verb of being filled. The word with as in, with the Spirit, it's actually the Greek word EN and means by the Spirit. The word (EN) is a preposition in the “dative case” which signifies advantage or in other words, it’s to the believers advantage to be filled with the Spirit continuously. Every born again believer in Christ has the Spirit the very moment after they believe the Gospel message and totally put their undivided trust in the Person and finished work of God’s Son Jesus Christ. Notice the action and timing of the action in the following verses. Ephesians 1:11-13 (NKJV) Speaking of Jesus: 11 In Him also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will, 12 that we who first trusted in Christ should be to the praise of His glory. 13 In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, God’s sealing or stamp of approval is non other then God The Holy Spirit Himself sent to dwell within the body or temple of every true believer in Christ to guide and instruct and comfort along with many other functions. God has further promised that this is a permanent situation but without mentioning the quantitative aspect, i.e. the “total” filling is not guaranteed and this is not due to any fault of God, needless to say, but to the individual believer. The indwelling Spirit of God can be grieved and quenched but Scripture commands us not to do this. The BIG QUESTIONS are: How do we grieve and quench the Spirit and since we are commanded to be filled with the Spirit, how is this accomplished. I have found that most believers are very uninformed with regards to this function but please don’t be shy in posting your response! Have a great day, CDBJ |

33 | 1st Samuel | Bible general | CDBJ | 239638 | ||
It is obvious that every time when God would punish the Israelites because they were negative toward God’s Word and disobedient that He would use their enemies to administer their discipline. America, as a nation has gone negative toward God’s desired will for them as a nation and as a result, America as a nation, has fallen under God’s punishment and it appears as though He is using their enemies, the Muslims to administer Americas just due. Galatians 6:7 (NKJV) 7 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. This holds true for a nation as well in principal! CDBJ |

34 | Defend the Offender-Attack the Offended? | Bible general | CDBJ | 241667 | ||
I have found that it’s best to turn many situations over to the throne of grace and let the Lord iron out the problems. If there has been any wrong doing He is more then able to fix the situation and there is a time coming when we must all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. Then there is are several promise we can claim. Isaiah 26:3 (NASB) "The steadfast of mind You will keep in perfect peace, Because he trusts in You. Job 5:21 (NASB) (A) "You will be hidden from the scourge of the tongue, Proverbs 6:16 (NASB) There are six things which the LORD hates, Yes, seven which are an abomination to Him: Number seven is: Proverbs 6:19 (NASB) 19 A false witness who utters lies, And one who spreads strife among brothers . My two cents worth, CDBJ |

37 | Was I wrong? | Bible general Archive 4 | CDBJ | 194253 | ||
Greetings, I think that we have to keep in mind the time in which a particular passage was written. 2 John 1:10 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: Receiving one into your house was usually a visit of several days, and at minimum an overnight stay that included ones full hospitality. Such a gesture meant that you were in full agreement with there understanding as to the person of the Lord Jesus Christ. You added the following which in part would really stretch the verse a bit. “not to let any false doctrine come into your house.” I have had many a long winded discussions, in our home, with those that appose them selves and when they leave they at least know what the Bible says and where they stand biblically. That was a good question and I have found from practice that it’s not a good idea to try and hold your defense when you are being double teamed. i.e. Have another believer with you while giving out the gospel; the two by two deployment works both ways and my wife and I work as a team. She will not let strangers in the house if she is by herself but if I’m home when the doorbell people show up I better be ready to drop everything and start shifting gears. 1 Peter 3:15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear: Have fun, CDBJ |

Greetings and welcome to the forum. I would be hard pressed to come up with a chapter and verse that could cover both of those questions because unbelievers as well as believers both get married and die as well. Neither activity is strictly a Christian activity if one could call death an activity? I would say tough that both functions sure present a good opportunity to give testimony to the gospel message of Christ if they have the chance. I have found that there are countless numbers of people that have only played church over the years and they have only vague ideas as to what a true Christian is; having never really had a true “living” relationship with Christ. I sure hope you enjoy the forum, CDBJ |
