2661 | The future of loved pets | Not Specified | CDBJ | 19099 | ||
I don't know of any verses to help me with what I am going through, as far as grief. Someone shot my pet that I loved, very, very much and I had to have it put to sleep. Having it was such a joy and it was such a friend; it was just a little over a year old and so full of life. The Bible says that when we loose a person, that is a believer, that we sorrow not as those who have no hope, because we know that we will see them again and be with them, just as king David stated about the loss of his young son. I went to the Throne of Grace and ask for the Lord to help me with this problem and that was all I could do. There might be some that think I am very foolish about this but believe me I really hurt. Does anyone have any verses on the future of animals or at least a good comforting concept? I know from scripture that there are horses in Heaven but what else.

2664 | When may a church compromise the Bible? | Hebrews | CDBJ | 19098 | ||
Ed, I am a new comer to this thread and some of these comments have me a little at odds. Some of the things that you mention, and they are far too numerous for me to list all, I would like to know more about. Just taking the first part of your comment for starters, you say that these T.V. individuals spoke of Jesus going to hell and Satan and his demons tormented him. Could you please elaborate on this and show me where the verses are that tell of this encounter with Satan and his demons. I am getting up in years and I forget some thing, so could you please with God's Word, point me to these verses and explain this point. Yours in Christ, CDBJ | ||||||
2665 | Yes, but what happened back then? | Matt 27:46 | CDBJ | 19093 | ||
I think that it was so bad at that time for Jesus; that this is why there was the darkness that is spoken of. Jesus endured all the abuse that mankind could dish out, but when God the Father poured out the sins of the world on His Son He screamed out. He could not contain the agony in silence any longer. It was super excruciating being made sin for us and separated form God. No person on this side of the grave will ever experience this kind of pain. Only unbelievers after death will know what it was like, and they will suffer like this for eternity because they rejected God's sacrifice of His Son. CDBJ | ||||||
2666 | Why do some pastors disobey Jesus? | Matt 19:9 | CDBJ | 19091 | ||
Are you inferring the Jesus actually commanded them to divorce for this reason? I think that what He was saying was that (if) a person where to pursue a divorce, and then marries another, the reason mentioned would be the only reason that would be acceptable with Him; other then this reason the person who remarries would be committing adultery. Jesus did not command them to divorce. CDBJ | ||||||
2667 | Please help the ignorant and arrogant... | Matt 27:46 | CDBJ | 19045 | ||
Interesting points, but If you would please, could you explain the battle at the cross between Jesus and Satan? This is the only part in your thread that isn't very clear to me from scripture, or maybe I have forgotten this part somehow. Yours in Christ, CDBJ | ||||||
2668 | Lionstrong, this is not universalism. | Eph 3:6 | CDBJ | 19035 | ||
Jo, that is a great concept I couldn't tell you how many time that I have read those verses and I have never looked at it in that light. It just goes to show you that His word is alive. I think you might be on to something here but I would like to see a whole new thread on this. Please let me know, if you would, via e-mail when you do it so that I don't miss it. It is very interesting at this point, and I can't see anything wrong with it. I must say that if that is the case, I have been teaching something that isn't there. You know there is a verse in Psalm 119: 160 NASV that says, the sum of Your Word is truth. Sometimes it is hard to see the whole picture with our finite minds. Yours in Christ, CDBJ |

2669 | apologetics | Bible general Archive 1 | CDBJ | 19014 | ||
Dear PGS, it sounds like you have a burden for the lost. When I first became a believer, about 35 years ago, I would get on my knees before the Lord for people's salvation. I would do everything but hit them over the head with the Bible because I wanted them to find Jesus like I did. Boy I tell you, I knew that I found the answer to eternal life and I wanted everyone to have it. It was like talking to a brick wall. The burden was so heavy on me that I almost collapsed emotionally. Then it was pointed out to me in Matt. 16: 18 That people can't reveal Jesus to anyone, this is the work of the Father, He only puts believers into His family by revealing who Jesus is. Here I was trying to do God's work and all that I was able to do was to muddy up the water. The best advice that I can give is to study, study, study, God's word so that you may be able to answer everyone who ask you for a reason of the hope that is in you and do it with LOVE. Let Christ produce through you what He wants to do. Talk the talk and walk the walk; let Christ LOVE shine. Someone once said, (what you do, speaks so loud that I can't hear what you are saying.) We are ambassadors for Christ, people will watch you like a hawk, so stay close and try not to do anything that will give the devil a chance to neutralize you in your walk. I sure hope this helps; stay in His Word and try to love them into the kingdom, and He will lead. CDBJ |

Hi Joe, in regard to the one point that you made about regeneration before faith. There is something that I believe and I am not even sure where it came from so please don't back me in a corner on this one. The unbeliever can't understand anything from God as you stated because his spirit needs to be born again, and I Cor. 2:14 will back that up. I have in the back of my head some place that the only thing that an unbeliever can understand is the Gospel and only then because God the Holy Spirit reveals it to them. Maybe via John 16:8-11 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: Of sin, because they believe not on me; Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more; Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged. It seems like I have been using this verse a lot lately; well what do you think? You don't have to respond to this if you don't want to; it is just for a train-of-thought. CDBJ |

2671 | Absolutely perfect? | Deut 32:22 | CDBJ | 19005 | ||
There is only one thing that I would like to ask you, but the answer to that must be broken down also. What sin did Jesus Christ not pay for? When and if you come up with one; that is the only sin that can condemn a person. When Jesus was hanging on the cross, God the Father poured out all of the sins of the World on His Son and judged them. Every sin that has ever been committed, past present and future, they were all poured out on Him and judged. Now if that is the case, and it is, then the problem is no longer sin. The main issue now, since Jesus dealt with the sin problem is, what do you think of Jesus the Christ. What will you do with God's Messiah? One either believes in Him or they reject Him. It's that simple or that complicated which ever you choose. Don't confuse sinning after salvation with salvation; it is connected with service not salvation. God said that He will NEVER leave you or forsake you, but He didn't say that you would always be in fellowship with Him. We can't get out of salvation, but we can sure get out of fellowship by grieving or quenching The Spirit, and this we do by sinning. Until a person understands this, it is very hard to grow in Christ. The knowledge that He has freed us to serve cannot be understood by one who is still in bondage to a concept that they can loose their salvation because they are trying so hard just to hang on to it. If anyone has an argument with this it is because they don't see it yet. Please don't argue any of these false concepts with me, I am free and I know it; praise the Lord. I feel real sorry for trapped believers that don't understand this truth. They can argue with me till they are blue in the face, I know what the Lord has revealed to me, and I am telling you it is great! I am resting in the Lord and the power of His Might. I tell you I love all the brothers and sisters in Christ and I respect their views, but some don't know what they are missing. I will close with a verse from Hebrews 4:1 Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it. Come short, is like God giving us a checkbook with a million dollars in it and we don't know how to write a check. CDBJ |

2672 | Holy Spirit without evidence of tongues? | Acts | CDBJ | 18958 | ||
You say that a person must be baptized, do you meaning with water and is this a prerequisite for salvation or does it come afterwards. If it comes afterwards, then the person is already saved, if it is before salvation, then it is works and that knocks out grace. If you are right about water baptism, then does this mean that God is a respecter of persons, because He must have made an exception for the thief on the cross who couldn't do anything, but believe in Jesus; and Christ himself said that the thief would be with him in paradise. There seems to be a few problems with this view. Please explain, yours in Christ, CDBJ | ||||||
2673 | Lionstrong, who is the world? | Eph 3:6 | CDBJ | 18919 | ||
Yes, that was only MY two cents worth, but it cost God the most precious thing He had, the life of His only unique Dear Son, and I love Him more and more. CDBJ | ||||||
2674 | Lionstrong, who is the world? | Eph 3:6 | CDBJ | 18899 | ||
I think that in a way, that you are both right, now how is that for openers? The word for atonement in the Old Testament was KAPHAR, i.e. a covering; the sin was covered, but it was still there, until God's Messiah would come. The word that we have in the New Testament for atonement is KATALLAGE in the Greek, which is derived from KATALLASSO, to reconcile. Do you remember what John the Baptist said when he saw Jesus coming? (Behold the Lamb of God who covers our sin) ((NOT)) Behold the Lamb of God, that TAKES AWAY the sin of the World, it's gone. So now the issue isn't sin anymore, John 16:7-9, but Jesus. The only sin that can condemn a person now it the one that the Holy Spirit is convicting the World of, which is rejecting Jesus as their Savior. The only sin that Christ couldn't and didn't pay for is the sin of rejection. WOW, what a plan, and God the Father even has to reveal this to us! We that know this plan can't praise Him enough, Hallelujah what a savior! God is not willing that any should parish but that all would come to a change of mind about His Son Jesus the Christ. My two cents worth, CDBJ | ||||||
2675 | Absolutely perfect? | Deut 32:22 | CDBJ | 18867 | ||
Well Lanny, for starters I am CDBJ, not Joe, but I know how easy it is to get mixed up; I think we have all done that a few times. You say that you would like to see where Paul sinned after salvation. Try Rom. 7:15 and combine that with James 4:17 and you have it. Take you for example; did you ever drive just a little over the speed limit? Now don't tell me that you have never violated just one traffic law, and you knew it was wrong? James 4:17 will get you every time! Have a nice day, CDBJ P.S. when you called me Joe, what if that would have made me loose my cool? You just put a stumbling block in a brother's way and we are commanded not to do that. Lanny, all believers have sins in their life after salvation. There are sins of omission as well as sin of commission. There are a lot that have thought that they don't sin after salvation, and when they take a nosedive it shocks them so bad, that they are ashamed to continue a close walk with Christ. Pride cometh before a fall, and I say this to you in love. I don't know how long that you have been a believer in Christ and I admire your walk but be careful. I have know the Lord for over 35 years and I would hate to say how many times that I have had to use I John 1:9. The older I get, and the more I learn, the more I have to use I John 1:9 I hope you continue to keep up the close walk, but don't be proud of it, because the Lord hates pride. I hope you take this in the spirit in which it is given and don't feel that I am judging you. Yours in Christ, CDBJ |

2676 | The Rapture in Revelation | Revelation | CDBJ | 18860 | ||
#1 The prophecy in Daniel of the 70 weeks is for Israel only: But the time of the tribulation for the elect is running concurrent with it and both events are triggered by the same action. That is when Israel makes a seven year covenant, with the unbeknown to them, antichrist. #2 The 70th week of Daniel, if that is the part you mean, won't start until Israel makes the firm covenant with the one, antichrist, who makes desolate. After three and one half years, his true nature will be revealed as the son of destruction, (also, II Thess.2: 3-9) at this point Israel will realize that they made a covenant with death and she will fly into the wilderness to her place of safety from the presence of the serpent. Rev. 12:13-17 The dragon then through frustration, because he can't get at Israel will turn on the elect, the church, thus the great tribulation that Jesus warned us would happen in the last days. Being a believer in Christ at that time will not be a popular thing! Forget about the glowing testimonies, unless you want to loose you head. Thus we have the apostasy that Paul spoke of. There won't be many, so called lukewarm believers around. There will be people turning on their own relations just as the Scripture says will happen. #3 I think that the temple will be rebuilt and the Jews will start to sacrifice, the same way that they did in the Old Testament. I just heard on the radio the other day, that after some two thousand years, that the Jews have redeveloped the red heifer, I wonder why? I hope this answers your question, this is about the best I can do when I am to tired to tkink. CDBJ |

Yoshua, I am pre-wrath in my position when it comes to the time, when the dead in Christ will rise and the living believers will be changed. I think that the period of time called tribulation, starts with the Abomination of Desolation Matt. 24:15 and is also spoken of by Paul in II Thess. 2:3,4. The period of time that starts Daniel's 70th week, and runs for three and one half years before this, is merely the beginning of birth pangs. The last half of Jacob's trouble starts with the devil being cast down to the Earth, Rev. 12:12, thus showing that the tribulation spoken of by Christ is from the wrath of Satan not God. Christ went on to say that those that endure till the end of the tribulation, will be delivered. I.e. the rapture. Note that Daniel's 70th week must continue on for it's full term though. Thus, we, the believers will come out of the great tribulation by Christ cutting the great tribulation short, for the elect's sake: this He will do by the rapture. Look at Rev. 7:9-17 Right after all this takes place, God starts to pours out His wrath, Rev. 8:--------- Notice, rapture before wrath; thus the pre-wrath position. CDBJ | ||||||

I don't know where you got the idea that I was insulting you by name-calling or what ever. All that I ask was the nature of the name that you are using on the forum, if it was a sort form of CHEZEV, which is the Old Testament Hebrew word for (vision). I am sorry you mistook this for something else. From all that you were telling us about the Old Testament I thought maybe you were a Hebrew buff, my mistake! CDBJ | ||||||
