Greetings KMc and welcome to the forum, There are thousands of books written covering the answer to your question; could you be a little more specific? Would your question possibly be with regards to just who the person of Jesus was? I hope you enjoy the forum, CDBJ |

Hi #7 and welcome to the forum, The group of verses found in James 2: always use to puzzle me until the Lord revealed a simple illustration to me one day. I posted this answer and the illustration to a former member named Joe and you can read it by typing the number 16441 in the Search space on the right side of the home page. That one goes back to 2001 and I hadn’t been a member of the forum very long, in fact the forum was just getting a good start. I hope you enjoy the forum as much as I have, CDBJ |

Hi TT and welcome to the forum. I would suggest that for starters one needs to believe what it says in, 2 Tim. 3:16 NKJV All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, If one is running into a conflict with other verses, with regards to their observation of truth, it’s obvious that their understanding of truth is out of kilter. Psalm 119:160 NASB The sum of Thy word is truth, And every one of Thy righteous ordinances is everlasting. It’s like trying to find the sum of fractions in math; they all have to be broken down to a common denominator and they are all a part of the total that forms the correct answer or truth. I hope you enjoy the forum, CDBJ |

227 | Please explain please the Trinity. | Bible general Archive 3 | CDBJ | 184740 | ||
Second Part of a Two Part Message Hebrews 10:5 Therefore, when He came into the world, He said: "Sacrifice and offering You did not desire, But a body You have prepared for Me. That is why Jesus says in the following verse, John 14:6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. When Jesus died on the cross He actually died twice. He died spiritually and when His work was finished he died physically. 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? Jesus had “never” experienced “separation” from The Father; It was the most painful thing that he had been through in the whole crucifixion and he SCREAMED out. 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. After Jesus had accomplished His work on the cross for our sins He made the following statement and then died physically. John 19:30 When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost. The work for mans salvation had been completed. Jesus is the most unique person in existence. He is different from man in that He is God and he is different from God in that He is Man: He is the God Man. He is the only mediator between God and man because He is a member of both parties. 1 Tim. 2:5 For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus, We know that God is a Spirit and as such he doesn’t have blood, yet look at the following verse and figure exactly who it is referring to. Acts 20:28 (B) among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of God which He (God) purchased with His own blood. (Jesus) This might not clear up the Trinity for you entirely but I sure hope it helps. Have a great day, CDBJ |

228 | Please explain please the Trinity. | Bible general Archive 3 | CDBJ | 184741 | ||
This is about as plain as I can explain it and a person needs to understand what the Bible means by “one”. Try to visualize if you can the following in order to recognize the meaning of the “oneness” of God. Some of the more biblically recognized characteristic of God are as follows; God is, Sovereignty, Righteousness, Justice, Love, Eternal Life, Omniscience, Omnipresence, Omnipotence, Immutability and Veracity; this list isn’t complete but it pretty well explains what God is like in essence. In this sense the Bible tells us that God is one. There is no one else in existence, other then God, that has ”all of these special” characteristics; we can say therefore, that “in essence”, God is one, there is no other like God. i.e. God is the only one that exist that has these essence, if anyone could display these particular essence, they would in fact be God, plain pure and maybe not so simple but true. The Bible points out that there are actually three “distinct” and “separate personalities” in existence, and “each personality” exhibits “all” of these essences or characteristic, as God. The Bible describes them as, first person or The Father, the second person or The Son, and third person or The Holy Spirit. So God is only One in essence, but Three in Personalities. All three personalities have the exact same attributes, being God and all are equal as one, yet the personalities function differently but for the self same exact and perfect results. The word for God in the Hebrew, “elohiym” is a plural word; He is not a God, but “the” God, the one and only. Here is a good example of different personalities in the God Head. Genesis 1:26 Then God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth." Did you catch the Us and Our, used twice in that verse? Here is a unique instance where all three different personalities of God are observed and all at the same time. The following verse exhibits all three members of the God head functioning together to accomplish God’s fantastic plan for man’s salvation Matthew 3:16-17 When He had been baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting upon Him. [17] And suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying, "This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased." Illustration: God knew in eternity pasts that man would sin, so God, in His Omniscience, His perfect knowledge, devised a perfect plan whereby He as God could maintain His perfect Righteousness, yet satisfy His perfect absolute Justice. The Righteousness and Justice of God combine to make up what is referred to, or known as the Holiness of God. What the Righteousness of God demands the justice of God “must” execute; God must punish sin, but God being a “Loving God” doesn’t want to be separated form man for eternity; which would be the result of man paying for his own sinful debt, since God tells us that we all have sinned. Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; The wages for sin is death; not physical death but spiritual death, or separation from God forever. God can have absolutely nothing to do with sin, i.e. He can’t just excuse sin, it must be dealt with and disposed of for justice to have been served. God, in His Genius, devised a perfect plan whereby sin could be dealt with once and for all, yet God could maintain His Perfect Holiness and man could have a life that lasts forever with God throughout eternity future. God decided in His perfect love in eternity past that He Himself would pay the “awesome price” that He demanded for sin but the problem was, God, as God can’t die, because He is Eternal and He can’t be separated from Himself. But by one of the members becoming a Man he could accomplish the task. One of the members of the Trinity, the one we refer to as the Second Person, would become a man so that God the Father could take out His wrath for sin on the Man that God provide, or the appointed one, the Messiah, God one and only unique Son. In essence God said I will become a man and pay the ultimate price that I demand. |

230 | Genre of Matthew 16:19 | Bible general Archive 3 | CDBJ | 184762 | ||
Matthew 16:19 And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven." The genre of the previous verse would be one of responsibility. I would say that the salvation message of Jesus being the long awaited Messiah had just been entrusted to those hearing the message since it was revealed to Peter by the Father and confirmed by Christ Himself. Facts of binding: Eternal life is established before one dies and it’s all centered on the person of Christ. The following is a present existing condition, its bound right here and now, in this life; it’s not a future guess or wish. John 3:36 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." I hope you enjoy the forum, CDBJ |

231 | No meat on Fridays, why? | Bible general Archive 3 | CDBJ | 185191 | ||
Hi KellA and welcome to the forum, Maybe you have got not eating meat on certain days mixed up with some kind of non biblical religious activity. In the Old Testament they were actually commanded to eat the meat of the lamb to celebrate the Passover. The New Testament warns us of these conditions. Col. 2:16-17 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: 17Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ. 2 Tim. 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: I hope you enjoy the forum, CDBJ |

232 | Can a christian go to hell? | Bible general Archive 3 | CDBJ | 185196 | ||
Greetings Blazer No a “true” Christian can’t got to hell but then all of the things you mentioned doesn’t really make one a Christian either. Just because I blow on a duck call and hide among the ducks and make all of the proper noises that doesn’t make me a duck either; if you get my drift. I only way I could ever be a duck would be if I was born a duck. There are thousands that are imitating Christians today by making all of the proper noises yet that don’t even have a clue what a Christian really is. John 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. They imitators even “think” they are dressing up like Christians. Matthew 7:15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. 2 Cor. 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. John 3:7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. 1 Peter 1:23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. Matthew 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. The key is; he that doeth the will of my Father and responds to the Father’s work. John 6:29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent. Have a great day, CDBJ |

233 | Romans 14 | Bible general Archive 3 | CDBJ | 185285 | ||
Hi KellA, If you would like me to be frank with you I would say that the question now days about eating meat on Fridays during “Passover season” is nothing more then a “religious” set of rules, likely established as a way to tally up point towards ones credit for eternal life, which is contrary to grace in the first place. 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. Romans 3:10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: The only ones that will be in heaven are those that are just as righteous as God is; right from the get go that sounds like an impossibility, and it is, apart from God doing all the work for us. That’s why God performed all the work necessary in the person of His Son Jesus. 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. The only thing that impresses God is the work that His Son did on our behalf and for us. 1 John 5:13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. The key to eternal life is FAITH, and the object of that faith “must be an undivided trust” in the Person of God unique Son Jesus; not something that we do in order to accumulate or tally up assumed points or credits. Eternal life isn’t a future wait and see situation, it’s a, “hear and know” knowledge that God has given to a select few that are totally trusting Him. John 3:36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him. John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. Are you in yet or is that something you're still working on? CDBJ |

236 | HOW DO I GET GOD TO TALK TO ME TOO!! | Bible general Archive 3 | CDBJ | 186338 | ||
Greetings and welcome to the forum. If you are looking for feelings I think you might have entered the wrong forum. This Bible form is dedicated to the study of God’s Word and what the Bible teaches which is pro on promises and low to near extent on feelings. The way one feels isn’t the criterion for truth, what the Bible affirms is truth whether one feels it or not. 2 Tim. 3:16 All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; Emotional highs are usually followed by emotional lows but God’s truth remains constant forever! Have a nice day, CDBJ |

238 | The importance of Christian Doctrine | Bible general Archive 3 | CDBJ | 186428 | ||
Greetings and welcome to the forum. If that’s a question, here is what God thinks about His Word. Psalm 138:2 I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name. Before anyone can assimilate Bible doctrine, the written Word, they must first have a personal relationship with the incarnate living Word Jesus Christ. 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. I hope you enjoy the forum, CDBJ |

240 | defiling bodies by eating meat? | Bible general Archive 3 | CDBJ | 187951 | ||
Greetings Angel72 and welcome to the forum, Would the following verses suggest, with your train of thought, that the voice that Peter heard wanted him defiled? I realize that isn’t the primary interpretation but it would reflect a practical application in view of the command to kill and eat. Acts 10:10-16 And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance, 11And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending unto him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth: 12Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air. 13And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat. 14But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean. 15And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common. 16This was done thrice: and the vessel was received up again into heaven. I hope you enjoy the forum, CDBJ |
