I can share a poem with you that I wrote. I'm not sure how the format will look on the forum. It is called a SECOND CHANCE. Use it any way you can to reach the lost. A SECOND CHANCE Would you like a second chance, to start your life again? Would you live a different way; could you turn to God from sin? Could you trust the Lord to guide, in this newfound hopeful quest? He has the way all planned for you and He offers you His best! You'd still be old in terms of years, with the knowledge you've Acquired. You could live in perfect freedom though, with the debt of sins retired. It's not too late to begin this life; today is the perfect day. So harden not your heart my friend, but consider what I say. The Bible is God's guide for you; it's been a mystery in your past. But He'll reveal the truth in it, and your love for it will last. There's a simple way to commence this life; the key is to believe. The object is God's unique Son; it's Him you must receive! God has said the wage of sin, is separation from his sight. So he sent his Son to pay this price, and be your guiding light. Jesus is the Son of God who came to set you free. He's the Way the Truth the Life who died on Calvary! Then He arose up from the grave to prove that He's the one. This justifies our faith in Him as God's precious Son. Yes, Jesus is the one to trust; He'll satisfy your needs. Religious works are null and void, with all their useless deeds. Have faith in Christ and what He did; this pleases God the most. There's joy in heaven with this resolve, by all angelic hosts. God has promised eternal life, to those who trust His son. It's a gift by grace and not of works, and it's free to everyone. God has said you have a choice to start your life anew. But the future of your eternal state is strictly up to you. Call on the Lord to save your soul, and start this new relation. According to God's word in fact, you'll be a new creation. By Charles D. Bickett, Jr. |

242 | Only seal and horse in same verse Rev6:5 | Bible general Archive 1 | CDBJ | 19605 | ||
EdB, I think you have the four horsemen down to a tee, because that is the same description the Jesus point out will take place in Matt. 24. There is a book out that is one of the best that I have ever read on the subject of eschatology; it is called the Sign by Robert Van Kampen. It is a real eye opener that ties all of the verses on eschatology together, from the Old and New Testament. CDBJ |

243 | Who were the witnesses? | Bible general Archive 1 | CDBJ | 20874 | ||
I agree with you about who the two witnesses are but where do you find that Moses didn't die a natural death? | ||||||
244 | Who were the witnesses? | Bible general Archive 1 | CDBJ | 20908 | ||
Yes your right, Michael disputed over the body of Moses, which means that Moses soul wasn't in it any longer. Death had seperated his soul from his body,(THANATOS)and Satan wanted it for some evil action. Why, we are not told, but Moses wasn't in it any longer to defend it as he had been in the past. | ||||||

My best friend's son whom I have been witnessing to, and seems to be somewhat receptive, rode a motorcycle over to our local gun club the other day. First you must realize that his new wife, of one year, is a Christian. She has contacted me about explaining the way of salvation to her husband. I didn't even know that she was a believer until she called my wife one morning. The way that I found out was that I had given her husband a paper that I had written on the subject of salvation; he read it and laid it down where she found it and called our house the next day all excited about what I had given her husband. Well to make a long story short, I thought that my friend's son was starting to understand what it meant to completely trust in Jesus and commit his life to Christ keeping, until he rode in to the club on his motorcycle with a big Saint somebody metal on his jacket. When I ask him what it was for, acting as though I didn't know, he said that it was to keep him safe while riding his bike. To me it was like a miniature of what Paul must have experienced, Galatians 4:11 I fear for you, that perhaps I have labored over you in vain. (NASB) I don't know if you have ever heard the story about the time when a drunk staggered up to D.L. Moody and said, hay, I'm one of your converts!! Moody looked at him and said, yes you can surely tell that you are one of mine all right; you sure don't look like one of the Lord's! My primary goal, whenever I meet someone, is to determine if they are a born again Christian. If they are, it starts a time of fellowship, if they aren't; my main object is to find the opportunity and a good time to explain the way of salvation to them without being obnoxious. One must be very cautious that they don't muddy up the water. I have meet a lot of believers that love the Lord and they are very bold, to the point that they are a turn off. Jesus always asks a lot of questions and He never forced Himself on anyone. Sometimes I brake out in a cold sweet when witnessing to someone for fear that I will mess up. The last thing I want to do is to turn someone off about the Lord! I try to be ready to answer everyone who asks me for a reason for the hope that I have in Christ. Well Hank, (now you know the rest of the story.) CDBJ |

Apology accepted; I have done the same thing myself. I know how easy it is sometimes for me to let my old sin nature take over. When the Bible talks about the tongue, James 3:8 But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. There are times when I have everything but the fangs. I have had to use I John 1:9 for this problem several times. I forgive you; just tell the Lord then get up and as Paul said forgetting those thing that are behind I press on. In love, CDBJ |

248 | how do you encourage heartbroken | Bible general Archive 1 | CDBJ | 21995 | ||
Yes, I am in full agreement with that. We never know what God might use to start a person thinking in the right direction. Isaiah 55:11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. |

I would suggest reading the Sign first and to be as those in Berea, which I am sure that you are, as with most that love to study God's Word. Acts 17:11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so. |

Hank I liked your analogy, it shows you are thinking. It is my opinion that churches grow now days because believers are being feed. I quit going to a particular church years ago because they always had the same thing on the menu, salvation. I needed more meat in my diet once I was saved and starting to grow. I would look a fright, physically, if all I could get to eat were baby food. The problem now days, is that some of those big old denomination don't even offer baby food anymore, if you get my drift.

I'll be honest with you I am not even much into singing anymore. I know singing conveys praise but it hurts my throat when it's more then one song. I sure like turning pages in the Bible though on the pastors lead when following a point of doctrin. Someone said that you can usually till if a church is heading in the right direction or is on the right track without even going inside; just see how many of it's members are carrying Bibles in with them! That is a pretty good indication that they Word of God is being taught. CDBJ | ||||||

My, I must say you have listed quite a collection of problems there; it is interesting to note that all of the comments that you made are coming under the caption of, WHEN DID THE CATHOLIC CHURCH GO WRONG? I think that you were very clear in this presentation but I don't think that they were wrong in all of these points; there were one or two that they were right about. CDBJ | ||||||

In essence that is what Christ said, Matthew 4:4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. There is food for the body and food for the spirit. It is the assimilation of God's Word that causes us to grow spiritually. CDBJ |

Am I to assume that from this response that you are in full agreement with the thinking that was presented in your post? If this were the case, I wish to apologize for the way that my thread came across, you certainly went to a lot of trouble to present it and I commend you for this. I believe some of the points that you presented with regard to Mary are true and factual without a shadow of doubt; but not knowing Roman Catholicism I must say that not a few of the comments are built upon text taken out of context for a pretext. It is common knowledge that members of the RCC place a lot of faith in those that have passed away, and of course Mary doesn't seem to lack in this respect, along with many others that have passed into the next realm. I am not at all familiar with all the different recipients of the prayers of Catholics and of those that they have faith in them. You certainly seem to know what you are talking about when it comes to Catholicism, so if you don't mind I would like to ask you a question. I know that there is no right or wrong answer to this question but I would like your estimation. Just using Mary as the prime example, what percentage of the totality of your personal faith, would you say, is in Mary, on a scale of one to a hundred? Now consider that everyone else that you have faith in must be in this equation also. Example God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit and the many saints that have entered into glory. Again, there is no pat answer, I am just curious about your position because I have never conversed with anyone as knowledgeable as yourself about the Roman Catholic religion. This is not a trick question, because what ever you believe is fine with me I've got nothing to gain either way. CDBJ | ||||||

If that is the case, am I wrong in thinking that you pray to Mary and if you do, what confidence do you have, or faith or whatever it is that you want to call it, that she hears you and where in the Bible do you get this assurance? Any time that I pray to the Lord I have faith that He hears my prayer and I have faith in Him that He has the power to execute my petition, as He is the one seated on the throne of grace. If I pray to any other then the Lord I would be in direct disobedience to the command of His Word. Hebrews 4:14-16 Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. 15For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. 16Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. I can have confidence that my prayers are heard because God has given me the record of such. 1 John 5:11-15 And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 12He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. 13These 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. 14And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: 15And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him. I can personally say that this assurance did not come to me until I put all my undivided trust in Jesus. Oh yes I had hopes of heaven and eternal life but that wasn't the same as the assurance that I have now. The funny part was that I didn't know that people could have such a confidence on this side of the grave. One never misses something that they have never had! The part I like best is that it doesn't depend on me. God revealed to me that, I didn't do anything to get it and I can't do anything to loose it. Praise the Lord, it's all Him with out others assistance or help!! He's my daddy and I love Him!! Galatians 4:6 And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. I lost my dad in Dec. of 1965 when I was 27 years old and it was just several Month's before that in Oct. that my heavenly Father revealed the truth of His Precious Son to me through Scripture and it came alive! I have never needed a go between for my earthly father and my heavenly Father loves me much more then my earthly father ever could. Any time I need to speak with Him He says that I can come personally right up to His throne when I need help. I can honestly tell you friend that I don't have religion at all but I sure have a great relationship with a living loving Lord. Anyone that hasn't found this relationship, and I am not saying that you haven't, sure is missing the greatest thing in life and it's even going to get better. I am in perfect health and couldn't feel better but I can honestly say, as did Paul. Philip. 1:23 For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better: Don't get me wrong I'm not looking forward to dying but I am looking forward to death because I know what will follow in the next second!!

Hi Hank, I call my horizontal conversation speaking! It is only my vertical conversation that I call prayer, so you are out of luck!! Besides all that there is another problem, unless of course you happen to be ubiquitous, how many could you hear at one time? CDBJ | ||||||
258 | "am I wrong in thinking that you pray to | Bible general Archive 1 | CDBJ | 26360 | ||
I am sure glade the God's promises are guaranteed so that I don't have to rely on assumptions. I would like to wish you the best of luck with your assumptions but Scriptures says otherwise, so it would be ludicrous of me to do so. CDBJ 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: John 17:17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. |

259 | "am I wrong in thinking that you pray to | Bible general Archive 1 | CDBJ | 26364 | ||
I thank you very much and I might add the God has blessed me, God is blessing me, and God will bless me and it's all because of Jesus. Romans 8:32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? I think that I can safely say that the intentions of all those that have commented on this thread have not done so to intentionally offend you. I will say though that it sure gets awful frustrating at times trying to help people see the light. I think I know, in a small degree some of the anguish that Paul was suffering. Romans 10:1-2 Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. 2For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. CDBJ |

260 | what is baptism | Bible general Archive 1 | CDBJ | 26732 | ||
These people that believe that baptism is a part of salvation are still looking for a lost Gospel, that must state that the thief on the cross was plunged under a waterfall while still on the cross, because Jesus sure said that he would be with Him in paradise. There can't be any special situations with God. Acts 10:34 Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons: CDBJ |
