262 | RAPTURE: PRE-TRIBULATION OR NOT? | Bible general Archive 2 | CDBJ | 108063 | ||
Hi Rex, This theory was adopted in the early 1800’s and it basically gets it’s thrust from, 1 Thes. 5:9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, This being said, people conclude that we won’t go through the great tribulation because they erroneously assume that the tribulation is the work of God, but the way I see it, it is the work of Satan in his last attempt to distroy God's elect. Rev. 12:12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time. Satan has been trying to kill the Jews for years and if he can’t get to them the Christians will do just fine. Rev. 12:17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. This is the time, that last 3 ½ years called the great tribulation and is the same period spoken of by Jesus with reference to Daniel. Matthew 24:4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. Matthew 24:15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:) This is further expounded on by Paul in his letters to the Thessalonians. 2 Thes. 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Why all of the warnings if the believers aren’t going to be here?? It looks like general Christendom, with the pretribulation theory, has fallen for the deception ploy that they have been warned against! Have a great day, CDBJ |

263 | Noah Being Divinely Warned | Bible general Archive 2 | CDBJ | 109450 | ||
Hi Bradk, My opinion is that it was a general statement that was directed to Noah but the fact that it said man makes it all-inclusive. We are finding the same thing happening today. The SAME DAY that Noah and his family entered that ark of safety God clobbered those that were left behind! Genesis 7:11 In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the SAME DAY were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened. I am sure that the Lord gave all of them ample warning just as he dose today about the impending wrath that is to come but they, the arrogant, didn’t give heed then just as they don’t today. 2 Peter 3:3-6 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, 4And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. 5For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: 6Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: Notice, THEY and THEM, with reference to the unbelievers as pointed out in I Thess. 1 Thes. 5:1-4 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. 2For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. 3For 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. 4But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. In conclusion I don’t believe that they heeded the message then anymore then THEY, unbelievers, do today. Noah wasn’t in darkness then any more then believers are in darkness now. Luke 17:26-29 And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. 27THEY 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. 28Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; THEY did eat, THEY drank, THEY bought, THEY sold, THEY planted, THEY builded; 29But the SAME DAY that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed THEM all. I wonder what happened to those that were LEFT BEHIND? No second chance mentioned; if people put off trusting in Christ too long, some day, it will be too late! Ephes. 5:6 Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. There are a lot of people being deceived into thinking that if they are left behind that THEY will get another chance to be saved. Have a great day, CDBJ |

The best advice I could give in a situation like this is the following. Proverbs 3:6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Hebrews 4:16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. The Lord knows your situation and He can give you the answer but remember the only one that you can change is yourself. Have a great day, CDBJ |

267 | who was the fourth beast? | Bible general Archive 2 | CDBJ | 112171 | ||
This particular beast is the last of the evil beast dominions, as it were, and is known as the antichrist. Daniel 7:11 I beheld then because of the voice of the great words which the horn spake: I beheld even till the beast was slain, and his body destroyed, and given to the burning flame. The same thing is shown in Rev. Rev. 19:20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. Rev. 20:10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever. Jesus speaks of this one. Matthew 24:15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:) Paul also warns of the evil one that is to come. 2 Thes. 2:3-4 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 4Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. The word, antichrist, is introduced to us by John of whom there are many but the last one will be the super essence of evil in the world. Have a great day, CDBJ |

268 | Who is Elijah | Bible general Archive 2 | CDBJ | 113188 | ||
Greetings and welcome to the forum, Your question in Matthew 27 about Elias. Answer is from the Bible Knowledge Commentary: New Testament. Matthew 27:45-50 (Mark 15:33-37; Luke 23:44-46; John 19:28-30). Matthew made no reference to the time when the crucifixion began. But Mark indicated that it began at the “third hour” (Mark 15:25), around 9 A.M. Matthew noted specifically that from the sixth hour, noon, until the ninth hour, 3 P.M., darkness came over all the land. In this period of darkness Jesus became the Sin-offering for the world (John 1:29; Rom. 5:8; 2 Cor. 5:21; 1 Peter 2:24; 3:18) and as such was forsaken by the Father. Near the end of this period of time, Jesus could bear the separation no longer and cried out in a loud voice, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? These Aramaic words mean, My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me? (a quotation of Ps. 22:1) Jesus sensed a separation from the Father He had never known, for in becoming sin the Father had to turn judicially from His Son (Rom. 3:25-26). Some of those standing near the cross misunderstood Jesus’ words. They heard “Eloi,” but thought Jesus was trying to call for Elijah (Matt. 27:47). In Greek the word “Elijah” sounds more like “Eloi” than it does in English. Thinking His lips and throat had become dry, someone thought a drink of wine vinegar would moisten His vocal cords so He could speak plainly. Others, however, said to leave Jesus alone and see if Elijah would come and deliver Him. Their jeers were obviously still being directed against Jesus. Have a nice day, CDBJ |

271 | Praying for my husband | Bible general Archive 2 | CDBJ | 116743 | ||
A group of us from our Sunday school class went to see the Passion and I put an article together for the following Sunday’s class; I will share it with you. After the Passion then What? Believe in Jesus Christ for Eternal Life The Bible is very adamant with regards to some very popular New Testament verses speaking of Jesus, who died on a cross over 2000 years ago, and how it should affect us. What should my reaction be after knowing such a fantastic truth as portrayed in The Passion? These are but a few of the verses that speak of believing in Jesus Christ for eternal life. John 3:18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son. John 6:29 Jesus answered, "The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent." John 11:26 and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?" Acts 16:31 They replied, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved--you and your household." The Question? What exactly does it mean to believe in the Lord Jesus? The word “believe”, as we have it in the English language, doesn’t fully convey the meaning of the word, “PISTEUO”, that was penned in the Greek of the original New Testament. Example I can look at perfectly good chair that looks very strong and sufficient to hold me up and say that I believe it’s a chair, and that would be true as far as the English language is concerned, I believe it’s a chair but it really isn’t doing me any good until I act upon what I believe. To believe in a chair, with the meaning the Bible speaks of, I must realize that the new found chair will totally support me, and get up from where I am resting now and go over and turn around and plop down on it with my feet coming off of the ground; I am entrusting. I must depend on the chair 100 percent to support me and hold me up. I must put all my faith or trust in the chair, not holding onto anything else for support but the chair, i.e. totally rely on the chair to support me completely without added assistance. Faith or believe, as mentioned in the Bible, isn’t a little bit of this, and a little bit of that and the other thing. The object of believe, in the Bible, with regard eternal life, must be an undivided total reliance on the person of Jesus Christ and what he did for us on the cross! This is what the Bible means when it says believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved. It’s like the “reverse” of the old saying don’t put all of your eggs in one basket. With Jesus it must be a total faith in him alone, or it will be none at all. God has a gift for the human race and this gift is eternal life, as with any gift someone must pay for it, there is no free lunch; all we can do is accept God’s gift or receive it and thank the giver. Ephes. 2:8-9 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith--and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God-- 9not by works, so that no one can boast. Jesus paid the price for our gift and God the Father was satisfied with the price that Jesus paid, it cost Jesus his life on a cross when he was separated form God. God the Father judged our sins in the person of his Son; that was the total reason for the passion of Christ. Have you thanked God yet for what he did for you through the person of his Son? Tell God, in prayer, in your own words that you are trusting 100 percent in what Jesus did for you on the cross; that you would like him to personally reveal himself to you and come into your life, and receive Jesus as your personal Savior. Trust in God’s Word the Bible and believe the promises that God has given us. 1 John 5:10-13 Anyone who believes in the Son of God has this testimony in his heart. Anyone who does not believe God has made him out to be a liar, because he has not believed the testimony God has given about his Son. 11And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 12He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. 13I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life. Speaking of Jesus, John 1:11-12 He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. 12Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God-- The passion of Jesus was for us. 2 Cor. 5:21 God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. Have a great new life in the Lord by putting your confidence in Jesus. CDBJ |

I think you can answer you own question. First, do you consider it a sin? Secondly, there is only one sin that Christ couldn’t die for, the sin of unbelief. John 16:7-8 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. 8And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: John 16:9 Of sin, because they believe not on me; John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. Who knows what might make a person flip out and do something dumb like that to themselves, it’s still a sin that Christ paid for. The strange part is God knew in eternity past how their life would end and He still paid the price for their salvation and if they have trusted in the finished work of Jesus, their saved Either people believe it or they don’t, CDBJ |

Well, in what I will call a forum nutshell here is you answer, and I probably won’t regret it until you respond back to me, maybe! The reason that I commented on your salutation was because it was the only part of your question that wasn’t contrary to Scripture. If possibly your method of being in Christ happened to follow the same lines as your question then there would be another issue that should be addressed which would take precedence over answering your question directly. Reason, 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. I don’t ever remember posting with you on the forum and I was trying to feel you out, as it were. Your statement was, and I quote, “As a christian,which of the following will earn more points?” The direct answer to your question, without selecting either of the limited choices that you suggest, 1 or 2 would be in, Koine English, as follows. God is only impressed with the work that His Son, Jesus Christ, did for us on the cross. Anything that we try to do to impress the Holiness of God is a slap in the face to His righteousness. Be it a Christian or anyone else for that matter we are under the grace provision of God and can’t really earn points as it were with God. The first taste of this would be when one puts all of his hope for eternal life in the person of Jesus, God’s Son. Col. 2:6 As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: Those in Christ, who have received Him by grace through faith, are to continue this same pattern through out their Christian life, or walk, knowing that they can’t earn or deserve anything from God on the basis of what they do. 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. That kind of puts the kibosh on the point system if you get my drift. 2 Tim. 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. With a point system the only one that is impressed is the one cranking out the points not a Holy God!!!!!!! Have a great day, CDBJ |

Hi FytRobert, For crying out loud get off of the pity party and relax a little bit; I didn’t present the post with the idea that you would go outside and chop your head off. I have been a Christian about 40 years now and you wouldn’t believe some of the hundreds of stories I have heard with regards to being a Christian. I could present my gentle little loving stories, which wouldn’t amount to a hill of beans, or I can give you the truth of the word of God, chapter and verse, which you can either accept or reject. Sugar coating something might make it more palatable but experience has taught me that the only one who profits is the one who goes directly to God’s word and check out the verses in context for them selves. Every thing that people do or say that adds to Scripture, to make it taste better, take that part with a grain of salt; do a lot of studying to make sure what the say is factual. I guess I am getting to old to be a gushy maudlin sentimentalist! God’s word does it’s work in spite of my short comings. 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. Relax a little and don’t let me bend you out of shape, CDBJ |

279 | Daniel 9 End Times?? | Bible general Archive 2 | CDBJ | 118491 | ||
Yes you are correct, the later part of verse 26 and all of verse 27 are yet future events for all in this day and age. Note the comparisons in the following verses. Isaiah 28:15 Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves: Isaiah 28:18 And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it. Jeremiah 30:7 Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob's trouble; but he shall be saved out of it. Matthew 24:6-13 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 7For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. 8All these are the beginning of sorrows. 9Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. 10And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. 11And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. 12And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. 13But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. 2 Thes. 2:3-4 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 4Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. Rev. 12:12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time. Matthew 24:15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:) Have a nice day, CDBJ |
