2621 | Who are the Gog and Magog? | Rev 20:8 | CDBJ | 21371 | ||
(Gog and Magog) The prophetic name of the land from which Gog (Antichrist) will arise and establish the eighth and final beast empire of Satan, which will be composed of descendants of all of the previous beast empires except the first two; specifically the land where the Germanic descendants of Magog, Noah's grandson through Japheth, settled. (Ez. 38) (From the Sign Ministries) This is a very short answer for now but I hope it helps. CDBJ | ||||||
2622 | Can someone sin after salvation ? | 1 John | CDBJ | 21271 | ||
The question would be easer if you had ask, if there is anyone that hasn't sinned after salvation. God is so perfect and Holy and we are locked into these old sinful bodies that have a propensity toward sinning. It is almost an impossibility not to sin, but the great part is that we can keep short accounts with the Father by exercising I John 1:9 There are some that are deluded in there thinking about sinless perfection after salvation. The book of I John is a good one to cover that subject. I hope this helps, I know I need to use it all the time. It's a good thing that I have a perfect Savior in Jesus that God sees when He looks at me. CDBJ | ||||||

Hello Casiv, This is a round about way to reach you but we seem to have lost contact the other day when you ask me what I was studying. I replied that I am very interested in eschatology and that I like to dig into the original languages. I lost the thread and couldn't get back. I think something must have messed up on my e-mail response or something. My question to you, that I wanted to ask is, what is your opinion on the thousand year millennium, that is mentioned in Revelation chapter 20, seeing that you hold a different idea about the binding of Satan then I do? I am interested in your comments. I might be out of line asking this on this thread but I don't know how else to make connections. There are times when I am all thumbs on this computer stuff, so please excuse me this one time gang. CDBJ | ||||||
2624 | Who is Lucifer/ why was heson of morning | Isaiah | CDBJ | 21029 | ||
Casiv, I think that there are many antichrists in the world just as the epistle of John indicate. But the main character of (the), as a definite article, antichrist hasn't manifested himself yet. I believe his main object it to establish a one World government over which he will be the ruler. At some point during his escalation to World dominance, Satan will empower him and he will demand the worship of the world. I think that the antichrist is referred to as the first beast in Revelation. He will have a right hand man that is mentioned in Scripture as the false prophet or another beast. I think that this second beast will be some kind of a religious leader because it says that he has horns as a (lamb), but he speaks like the dragon. I.e. A great deceiver that will lead many over to antichrist way of thinking. My favorite Biblical subject is eschatology. I like to dig into word studies in the original languages of the Bible. My favorite net sight for online information on future things is, (www.signministries.org). They tie it all together like no other I have found, and if one is really mixed up, they have an 800 number to answer tough questions. At present they are compiling a commentary on the book of Revelation. It seems like the older I get, in the Lord and studying in His word, the more it causes the knowledge that I have gained, to shrink by comparison. It scares me to think where I was 35 years ago and that new believers are starting at zero. I hope the forum helps them to grow with an open Bible and that they prove all things by searching through it for truth. Psalm 119:160 (AMS) The sum of Your word is truth, EIRENE, CDBJ |

I am in full agreement with Tim on this so I will not add to the post. CDBJ | ||||||
2626 | Who is Lucifer/ why was heson of morning | Isaiah | CDBJ | 20951 | ||
Where does it say that Satan him self, is the antichrist, since we are splitting hairs? I was always under the impression that the antichrist was a man and Satan empowered him! I might be dense or something but I Peter 5:8 tells me that the devil is walking about. Now I suppose that you are going to tell me that all this walking about is taking place while in prision and that he is pacing back and forth in his cell while incarcerated. Where is this maximum-security prison in heaven or earth? You made mention in your post that (we believe), I wasn't under the opinion that believing anything in the Bible was a collective situation! Who does the, (we), represent, since you mentioned it? This is a strange doctrine to me, and I would imagine to the rest of the forum, so please don't be offended if I seem a little curt. | ||||||
2627 | Who is Lucifer/ why was heson of morning | Isaiah | CDBJ | 20923 | ||
If you believe that Satan, by your admission is omnipresent, how can he be confined to any one place at any given time, for confinement? Do you also believe that he has omniscience as God? | ||||||
2628 | 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. | ||||||

I agree with you about who the two witnesses are but where do you find that Moses didn't die a natural death? | ||||||
2630 | Who is Lucifer/ why was heson of morning | Isaiah | CDBJ | 20848 | ||
I think that the time spoken of in Rev.12 is the point in time that Christ describes in Matt.24:15, which is the mid point of Jacob's trouble. Paul calls it out in II Thess. 2:3,4. Jews and Christians alike will suffer at this time. If Satan can't get at the Jews, he will come after the believers in Jesus. Rev. 12:13-17 And when the dragon saw that he was thrown down to the earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male (child.) But the two wings of the great eagle were given to the woman, so that she could fly into the wilderness to her place, where she *was nourished for a time and times and half a time, from the presence of the serpent. And the serpent poured water like a river out of his mouth after the woman, so that he might cause her to be swept away with the flood. But the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and drank up the river which the dragon poured out of his mouth. So the dragon was enraged with the woman, and went off to make war with the rest of her children, who keep the commandments of God and hold to the testimony of Jesus. I would like to emphasize that this (IS NOT) the wrath of God but Satan, who was cast down to the Earth. These will be the days of his vengeance against God and all that He stands for. Satan will demand the worship of the inhabitants of the Earth and the (true) believers, the wheat, won't give in. It will be the time just before the harvest. In my opinion, this is how God will separate the wheat from the tares. The pressure will be immense to say the least, so great that, if it were possible, even the elect could be deceived. But with the Lord's help and Bible doctrine we will overcome because we are not in darkness, we are expecting it! Paul said that remember that when I was with you, I told you these things. I hope that I haven't messed up everyone's way of thinking, but that's how I see it. |

I love all the believers in Christ and I don't mean to hurt anyone's feelings, but I honestly don't know where some of our brothers and sisters come up with these things. I talked to a person one time and they actually believed that Satan had horns with a red suit and carried a trident around. That is the picture that he would like to paint so that believers don't recognize him for what he really is, one of the most beautiful creature that God has ever created, not to mention one of the smartest. He knows that his days are numbered and when he is cast of Heaven that will trigger a response from him that will cause the greatest persecution that has ever taken place on the Earth for believers. It will make the holocaust that the Jews went through, look like a Sunday school picnic, if you'll pardon the expression. The book of I Peter 4:12-19 tells us not to be surprised when it happens. These will be the days of great deception for believers and there are numerous warnings telling us so; but even with all the warnings believers will be caught off guard! | ||||||
2632 | Who is Lucifer/ why was heson of morning | Isaiah | CDBJ | 20799 | ||
The book of I Peter was written in approximately AD 63: if what you said is true, why did Peter bother to right chapter 5:8,9 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. I John 4:4 speaks of (he), a ref. to satan being in the World. (Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.) Now since the devil isn't omnipresent, i.e. he can't be in more then one place at a time, he must be going back and forth from Earth to Heaven, otherwise Paul wouldn't have penned Ephesians 6:10-17, It wouldn't be necessary if our adversary were incarcerated. The fact that the devil is thrown out of Heaven, Rev. 12:7 doesn't mean that he was imprisoned there. What kind of a war would that be? The devil doesn't have omniscience like God so he has to come to Earth to see what the believers are doing in order to accuse them before God, Rev. 12:10. The fact that he is cast down only mean that he is no longer permitted to come to Heaven any longer to wage war with the brethren. He knows that when this happens that his last days of deception are coming to a halt; The only place that he can torment believers after the war in Heaven, will be on the Earth, and he knows that there are only three and one half years left to do his evil work. As a result he comes down to Earth having great wrath for the elect of God. Jesus mentioned this in Matt. 24:21-22; Paul tells of the same thing in II Thess. 2:3-6 There is no indication that the devil is restricted in any way at this time as far as confinement or being locked up. |

You stated in your post that you believe Satan is locked up. Do you mean now, or in the future? If you mean now, when was he locked up? | ||||||
2634 | Faith apart from reading the Bible? | Rom 10:17 | CDBJ | 20495 | ||
Steve, you made a comment, Jesus has one true attribute in common with God that the Bible absolutely does not have - the ability to save. Therefore Jesus is a truer, more complete, more faithful, more accurate revelation (image, picture, representation) of God. The Bible truthfully informs us of this ability and provides examples of both God's and Jesus' exercise of this ability, but the Bible doesn't have this ability. Have you considered James 1:21 that says to receive the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls? Look at Psalm 138:2 (KJV) for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name. | ||||||
2635 | Tribulation and rapture are we there now | NT general Archive 1 | CDBJ | 20470 | ||
NO we arn't in the tribulation yet, the Thessalonians thought the same thing. Paul's answer to them was I Thess. 5:1-4 The reason that we are not in darkness is because we have Matt. chap. 24 that tells of the progression. They still didn't know so he sent them II Thess. 2:1-17 | ||||||
2636 | Faith apart from reading the Bible? | Rom 10:17 | CDBJ | 20469 | ||
Joe, I think you said it all with your statement. We have to remember that Jesus was the Word of God and that we have the Mind of Christ, the Bible, I Cor. 2:16. We can't separate the two, because they aren't two they are one and the same; it's hard to understand but it's true. CDBJ | ||||||
2637 | The GAP theory could be true. | Gen 1:2 | CDBJ | 20379 | ||
Dear Jensen, I can see from your response that you are getting so frustrated that you are starting to add thing to what I stated originally, in order to prove your point. This was often used in the forums in Athens many years ago, and is known as a debater's technique. One would add to a particular postulate, something that both parties knew as factual, i.e. with out a shadow of doubt and both debaters agree to it; now since the agreed on facts have been added to the original thesis, then the antithesis to the first primes must be true. This was only done when the second party was coming to the point of frustration. I don't care if you knew of this technique or not the result are the same and I won't be a party to it. This discussion on thy doctrine of ((creation)) has gone far enough!! It is getting out of hand and I refuse to go any further because of the issues that were brought up, that have nothing to do with my original comment. In love, CDBJ |

2638 | The GAP theory could be true. | Gen 1:2 | CDBJ | 20208 | ||
Jenson, I would like to point out that I think everything that God does is good, even Lucifer was good at one point. Now as for science, the pitch and coal are still organic, no mater how you slice it, that means they were alive at one time. Did God kill them to make the pitch? The Bible is correct, in the original, and was inspired by God; but we don't know the meaning for sure of the word that we translated (was), it could be translated became; the Jews use the Hebrew word both ways!! And as for saving time, I don't study to save time, I study to show myself approved unto God a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the WORD OF TRUTH. Please just don't tell me there are gaps, point them out if you would please and If I might add, don't use your interpretation of Genesis 1:2 to prove your point; that's the problem! You are right, I am no scientist; is that the prerequisite now for loving God and trying to understand His word. As for winning souls to Christ, I didn't realize that the first two verses of Genesis were part of the Gospel, but then again I am still learning. I don't mean for my post to upset people, but it seems like that is what has happened. I should just drop it because it doesn't make any difference anyway and I don't want to cause anyone to stumble. Thanks for your comments! Till we all meet with the Lord, CDBJ | ||||||
2639 | The GAP theory could be true. | Gen 1:2 | CDBJ | 20097 | ||
From your response I don't know if you understand the (gap) theory? The GAP theory has it, that that the word (was) in Genesis 1:2 is wrongly translated, that the proper translation should be, (became) which according to the experts, could be translated either way. Thus we have; Gen.1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. I.e. He created it perfect, but then Gen. 1:2 And the earth became without form and void; (something happened, supposedly the fall of Lucifer) so that there was ciaos on the earth; so God put an ice pack over it. This would cover the period of the dinosaurs and all the lust vegetation. Thus pointing out that God in His foreknowledge of man and what he would need on the earth, would be provided out of the goodness of God. In short there is a Gap of undisclosed time that was used of God to prepare the earth for man. The formation of gas, coal, petroleum and so on, because God knew we would need it. This was the point that I was trying to make when in my original post, I suggested that it was in this gap period that over a mile of earth had time to accumulate over and compress all of the organic mater to form the petroleum or pitch used by Noah etc. There are some that say that God couldn't be that cruel to His animal creation; therefore it must be a hoax: My answer to them is, read the book of Revelation and see what happens to the animals, when God pours out His wrath on the Earth. God knows exactly what He is doing and why and the Gap theory is a possibility with out distorting Scripture or doubting any of the creation of God in seven days. If you would be interested there is a free booklet by R.B. Thieme Jr. called, CREATION, CHAOS, RESTORATION look at www.rbthieme.org for more info. | ||||||
2640 | The GAP theory could be true. | Gen 1:2 | CDBJ | 20085 | ||
Hank, I have been reading the ICR.org for several days now, as you advised. I would like to say right here and now that I love the Lord Jesus Christ and I know that He came down to Earth as the Son of God, and died, and paid the price for my sin and sins. I know that He rose up from the dead, and is seated at the right hand of God the Father, making intersession for me. I also believe, and hope very soon, that Christ will return in glory and that I will rise up to meet him in the air. At this time the Lord will transform my old sinful body into a sinless glorious body like His. From then on I will always be with Him, praising and beholding Him in His glory, forever and ever!!! I would like to state also that I don't believe in ANY form of evolution; and again I say any form. Now with all that said, basically every one of the many different articles that I read on the ICR web, that were written by (qualified conservative Christians,) base their ideas of the GAP theory, and I said theory, on the same premise. There premise is, that a loving merciful God would never be guilty of a creative process that would involve suffering and death of multitudes of innocent animals to arrive millions of years later at a point where the Earth would be ready for the creation of man. Now it is dangerous to try to cast God into our own little finite mold; can the clay say, why did you make me the way you wanted, and not the way I wanted? Also just to mention, there is a cult that says that a loving merciful God would never cast His creatures, into such a horrid place as hell; but we know this is false teaching. ICR says that death came about because of sin, and so the Scripture teaches. They further say that this is not spiritual death but physical death, so as a result, no animals died before the sin of Adam. Now if that is the case, then those qualified writers must believe in evolution and this is why. God created every thing as we have it today, no evolution, maybe minor mutations but not evolution. ICR says that there were no animal deaths before Adam sinned, why do we have snakes with poison, hawks with talons, insects with stingers, sharks with razor sharp teeth, whales that only eat plankton, lions with claws and the list goes on and on? They weren't all designed to eat grass before Adam fell! God created them that way from the start. They were eating each other, and before Adam sinned, they were designed that way; it wasn't evolution. God knew what He was doing, and we don't know why; His ways are above our ways. Some day Christ will straighten it all out when He sets up His kingdom on Earth, I don't know how, but I believe He will do it. Conclusion, ICR didn't convince me of anything yet, there are to many loose ends that don't refute the GAP theory. As for being a hacker, my golf game proves that. I don't think that my looking up has anything to do with stargazing, I would love to see Jesus return soon and we are told to look up; things down here don't look all that great right now. Yours in Christ, CDBJ |
