221 | Were the disciples saved, Born Again? | NT general | CDBJ | 206240 | ||
Greetings, With regards to being born again of the water and of the Spirit. It’s rather redundant to say if one isn’t born of the flesh, taking water as the representative of that action, that they can’t be born of the Spirit. The fact of the matter is if they were never born of the flesh they wouldn’t exist in the first place, so how could they who don’t exist be born again? The word water is actually a reference to God’s Word. John 17:17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. Ephes. 5:26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, The unbeliever can never be born again apart from the Word of God. Being born again is instantaneous when one believes the gospel of salvation that resides in the person of Jesus Christ. Romans 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Believers actually become pregnant by the Word of God which causes berth the birth. James 1:21 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls. The English word (engrafted) is the Koine Greek word EMPHUTOS and it means impregnated. When a believer takes in God’s message of Jesus and they believe in Him then God the Holy Spirit brings our human spirit to life in regeneration. It’s all a grace operation apart from anything man can do!! God gets all the credit; He plants the seed and brings about the birth. 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 |

Greetings, You have some interesting point there but the truth of the matter is apart from a personal relationship with the risen living Christ the Bible doesn’t make a lot of sense if one is still residing in their natural frame of mind or the condition that was passed down to us from dear old Adam. 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. Have you personally come to the place yet where you’ve had an experience in your life with the risen Christ? Has God actually assured you of eternal life yet and the ability to know the things of God that are taught in the Bible? CDBJ |

223 | An interesting discussion/question | Romans | CDBJ | 205068 | ||
Thanks Jamison for the response, I would like to read your take on the word "faith". As it is used in the following; Ephes. 2:8-9 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9not of works, lest anyone should boast. And do you think it is scriptural, or possible, for a person to have faith in more then one object and still be able to claim the everlasting life that resides only in the person of Jesus Christ? 1 John 5:12 He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. 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." CDBJ |

Hello Jamison, If I am reading you right are you telling us that you believe that Jesus is the way the truth and the life? Do you also believe the rest of the verse that says, “No man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”? 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. Just curious, CDBJ |

Greetings John, I read the posting on the forum much more then I post but I am usually sitting around with one eye open as often as I can; I’ve been very busy these past few months trying to fulfill, Col. 3:17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.

227 | what's your preference | Heb 12:6 | CDBJ | 202762 | ||
Greetings, God is only the father of those that have put their total faith in the finished work of Christ. John 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Galatians 3:26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. Only those that are secure in Christ can say that God is their father. God only created Adam and Eve the rest of us are procreated. Those that have total faith and trust in Gods Messiah have become a new creation as per, II 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. Those that haven't trusted in Jesus are actually under God's wrath at this very moment. 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. Have you came to the place yet in your spiritual walk where you know “for sure” that eternal life is reserved in heaven for you, or is that something you are still working on? If you would be so kind and take a few minutes and fill out something about yourself in the Personal Profile section of the forum it sure would help those who are trying to post with you. It’s called USER INFO and is located on the left side of the home page. Have a great day, CDBJ |

228 | what's your preference | Heb 12:6 | CDBJ | 202744 | ||
Greetings, If what you are assuming is true and God is the father of all, then how can this verse be factual? John 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. Something doesn’t fit because what you are suggesting is in opposition to what the Bible is teaching. If you were to die in the next few minutes and God were to ask you, why should I let you come into my kingdom, what do you think you would tell Him? CDBJ |

231 | How do I forgive adultry if it continues | Bible general Archive 4 | CDBJ | 202138 | ||
Greetings TJS Interesting response but what do you mean by the following, “I have sought to correct my behavior.” Does God actually forgive us on the basis of our trying to correct our behavior and if so where does Christ fit into that picture? Do you think you will be accepted into heaven on the basis of your trying to doing better; how good is good enough? Are your sins more refined then the sins of others? There is only one sin that condemns one to an eternal condemnation. John 3:19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 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. 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 3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. Where do you stand in relation to the previous verses? Have a nice day, CDBJ |

232 | agapetos added to quotation of Psalm 2.7 | Mark 1:11 | CDBJ | 201477 | ||
Greetings and welcome to the forum. Where is the word “love” found in Psalm 2:7, i.e. what translation are you using? If it where there, in that particular verse, why would it be AGAPE? The English word love is translated from the Hebrew word of the Old Testament, AHAB, unless you are reading from the Septuagint. Psalm 2:7 "I will surely tell of the decree of the LORD: He said to Me, 'Thou art My Son, Today I have begotten Thee. I hope you enjoy the Bible forum, CDBJ |

233 | God can use woman in the ministry? | Gal 3:28 | CDBJ | 201344 | ||
Hi Doc, That sounds like good advice to me. I was taught that our emotions are our responders, and our intellects are designed to be our initiators. When individuals get this twisted around and they end up being ruled by their emotions and they “try” to live the Christian way of life on the basis of how they feel: people in this mode of operation move through life going from emotional highs to depressing lows. Knowledge of Bible doctrine is designed to stabilize God’s children not put them on a rollercoaster. Ephes. 4:14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; 1 Cor. 13:11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

237 | Passage may say some born cannot be save | 2 Pet 2:9 | CDBJ | 200583 | ||
Hi Granny, The only Scriptures that I can think of where one was actually born predestined to receive God’s wrath are the verses referring to Jesus. Jesus was bore to suffer the wrath of God for our sins so that we may spend everlasting life with God. John 12:27 Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour. Romans 5:9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. You might be thinking of the following but I believe Doc pointed it out to you already? Romans 9:22 What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction: I know the frustration of not finding the exact Scripture to fit the mental thoughts. I sure hope you enjoy the forum though, CDBJ |

Hello SOGWAP, The only thing I have to say about your answer is that it's great to hear from another believer in Christ that's standing on the promises not just sitting on the premises of denominationalism. 2 Tim. 4:2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. Good post, CDBJ |

Greetings SOGWAP, Is it not true that the ones in question confess Jesus all of the time with their mouth and the same also teach that He has raised from the dead: If this is the case then where do you suppose the problem might be? There are numerous, so called, Christian denominations that claim the name of Jesus as the Christ but what, in your opinion, makes the major difference between those “Christian Church” members as far as actually having eternal life right here and now?
