2661 | Familiar Spirits | 1 John | CDBJ | 15999 | ||
Try I John 4:3 and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God; this is the spirit of the antichrist, of which you have heard that it is coming, and now it is already in the world. CDBJ |

2662 | 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 | ||||||
2663 | Is sinless perfectionism Bible doctrine? | 1 John 1:8 | CDBJ | 82138 | ||
Hello Radioman2, I can safely say that sinless perfection is as far away from me as my last breath. I still have to deal with my old sin nature in this body day by day and I must praise the Lord for revealing the truth about Jesus to me because I didn’t deserve it then and I still don’t deserve it. If it weren’t for I John 1:9 I would be in a world of hurt. In my estimation anyone who “thinks” that they have reached sinless perfection must not realize just how Holy and pure God really is. The fact that some are thinking that way to me it is a sin in it’s self. I don’t even think, in our finite minds, that we can fathom how Holy, pure and righteous and awesome God really is. Jesus is God’s standard for sinless perfection and it has only been met once in all of human history. I sure appreciate the fact that when I believed in Jesus that God imputed the righteousness of Christ to my account for my future tally when I stand before Him. 2 Cor. 5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. Have a nice day, CDBJ |

2664 | The 'Kosmos' in 1 John | 1 John 2:2 | CDBJ | 19464 | ||
Tim, I agree with you on this one, Christ died for the sins of the whole World, for believers and unbelievers. What Jesus did in effect was to eliminate the sin issue; now the issue for the unbeliever isn't sin, but Jesus Christ Himself and what will the unbeliever do about Him, believe in Him or reject Him. Very simple for mankind, but it cost God His unique Son. John 16:7-11, this is directed toward the unbelievers in the World, because verse 9 says so, and we see that the issue is Jesus not people's sins. CDBJ | ||||||
2665 | The 'Kosmos' in 1 John | 1 John 2:2 | CDBJ | 19469 | ||
Amen, and again I say Amen!! I would back you up on this last statement all the way. That most important one that will back us up is the Lord Himself, with promis after promis. There are a lot of, so called believer that don't know what it means to believe and trust in Christ. When the word believe is used in the Bible, the Amplified version hits the nail right on the head. It says in ref. to believing in Christ that one must (trust in, cling to and relie on Jesus), and brother that mean 100 persent or nothing at all! We can't add a little bit of anything we do, because if we do, then is not trusting in Him!!! CDBJ | ||||||
2666 | An Arminian Consensus in the Forum? | 1 John 2:2 | CDBJ | 101090 | ||
It sounds to me like a lot of people are missing the issue! Sins aren’t the focal point since Christ has died on the cross for them. The issue now is Christ Himself and the Holy Spirit is the only one who can point this out to a person. The only issue now is faith in the One whom God has provided, believe it or reject it! Jesus promised that the Holy Spirit would convince people of the only thing that will condemn them, which is not believing in the work that God did through His Son, Jesus! John 16:8-9 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: 9Of sin, because they believe not on 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. I would say that makes it pretty conclusive unless you don’t believe it and then it’s blaspheme of the work of the Spirit! 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. Have a great day, CDBJ |

If you think it is incomplete, I am afraid you are trying to add to grace and therefore you don’t understand what I was saying in the first place because the Lord hasn’t revealed it to you yet, and that’s not my responsibility but the work of the Holy Spirit. 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. Ephes. 4:21 If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus: John 6:45 It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me. Have a great day, CDBJ |

Greetings New Creature, The post of Tim’s that you just answered was put on the forum clear back in 2001. Tim is one of the most active members on the forum with over 5900 postings to date but don’t you think it’s a little much for someone to hold a thought that long?

2671 | Actual bodies in heaven? | 1 John 3:2 | CDBJ | 213869 | ||
Greetings, I would like to direct your attention to the verses in Luke 16:18-31 where the individual found himself in hell. Every one of the senses associated with the body with the exception of the sense of smell are mentioned. When those who put all of their hope for eternal life in the person of Jesus the Christ they are promised a body like that of Christ at the resurrection. It will be a body that will be able to function just as our present bodies yet without the draw back of wearing out seeing that it won’t have an old sin nature. We will be able to function on this Earth, which will also be resurrected, where in dwells perfect righteousness. 2 Peter 3:13 But according to His promise we are looking for new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness dwells. The souls that are temporally residing in heaven are quite restricted until they receive their eternal bodies. Rev. 6:9-11 And when He broke the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of God, and because of the testimony which they had maintained; 10and they cried out with a loud voice, saying, "How long, O Lord, holy and true, wilt Thou refrain from judging and avenging our blood on those who dwell on the earth?" 11And there was given to each of them a white robe; and they were told that they should rest for a little while longer, until the number of their fellow servants and their brethren who were to be killed even as they had been, should be completed also.

Greetings friend, I would “assume” that you believe in what is referred to as the Trinity? “Here is a good and fun challenge,” Find one place in the Bible, just one, where it says the word Trinity. This reference must say Trinity; if this is the true teaching of scripture then the Bible should have a number of references that say Trinity. Can you find any? I hope you realize that I am being facetious! That being the case: 2 Cor. 5:5-8 Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit. 6Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord: 7(For we walk by faith, not by sight:) 8We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. Where is the Lord Jesus Christ at this present time? I hope you say heaven? In 2 Cor. 5:8 The words “present with” the Lord in the original Greek of the New Testament is, “PROS ENDEMESAI” which is in the accusative case, which is causative, and could be translated, face to face with the Lord. Now since Jesus is in heaven where would it place the one who is face to face with Him? This is what is known as pedagogy by deductive reasoning. 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: Psalm 119:160 The sum of Thy word is truth, And every one of Thy righteous ordinances is everlasting. Have a great day, CDBJ |

Greetings, Very well taken but I believe we should take these “one” at a time if we are to concentrate on truth. Let’s, if we may, focus on the Lord’s location for starters just using scripture to solidify the correct answer. I would like to suggest the following with regards to direction which is opposite of gravity, as it were. Acts 7:55-56 But being full of the Holy Spirit, he gazed intently into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God; 56and he said, "Behold, I see the heavens opened up and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God." It wasn’t so distant that Steven couldn’t see and recognize Jesus but it was up. 2 Cor. 12:2 I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago-- whether in the body I do not know, or out of the body I do not know, God knows-- such a man was caught up to the third heaven. 2 Cor. 12:4 was caught up into Paradise, and heard inexpressible words, which a man is not permitted to speak. 1 Thes. 4:17 Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and thus we shall always be with the Lord. Rev. 3:12 'He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he will not go out from it anymore; and I will write upon him the name of My God, and the name of the city of My God, the new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from My God, and My new name. Rev. 12:5 And she gave birth to a son, a male child, who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron; and her child was caught up to God and to His throne. Rev. 12:12 "For this reason, rejoice, O heavens and you who dwell in them. Woe to the earth and the sea, because the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, knowing that he has only a short time." Rev. 21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth passed away, and there is no longer any sea. These are a few off of the top of my head that point to the fact that heaven is actually “up” CDBJ |

Greetings, I am in a position to learn something from scripture that I didn’t know or hadn’t considered. If my memory serves me right you are the one that refuted the scriptures that were posted. So please state your scriptural evidence with chapter and verse that proves that what was posted is in error; it is a Bible study not a theological inference group. 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: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.

Greetings M J Head, That was and interesting post and welcome to the forum. Are you saying, in essence, that the PSUCHIKOS, or soulish man is not a part of the real you and thus not a factor in a three part being after regeneration or that it is only the body that sins and the soul isn’t at fault? Ezekiel 18:20 (A) The soul that sinneth, it shall die. 1 Cor. 5:5 To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. 1 Thes. 5:23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. If I hit myself on the thumb with a hammer is it not “I” that suffers, be that as it may? Have a great day, CDBJ |

2676 | One born of God cannot sin? | 1 John 3:9 | CDBJ | 144408 | ||
Greetings M.J. Head, I would concur with you with the exception of the old and new soul. I believe that what we receive at the point of salvation is a living operative spirit which Adam managed to kill when he disobeyed God and passed the trait on to all those of his making. 1 Cor. 15:22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. We, with the exception of Christ, were all in Adam genetically speaking and thus the male passes down the old sin nature at conception to offspring which is born physically alive, body and soul, but the spirit is dead. Hence the need for rebirth as Jesus stated, John 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. The word “see” comes to us from the word EIDO; by implication to know, be aware, behold. The spirit being that part of man that communicates with God. The part of us that houses the old sin nature, as I see it, is the flesh, or what Paul refers to in the Koine Greek as the SARX. I.E. death of flesh, good by old sin nature. The soul is eternal, the real you, as it were and will live on forever. Have a great day, CDBJ |

Greetings MJH, It was explained to me, by someone a lot smarter then I am that Adam passed on the old sin nature through procreation of the body. The 23 chromosomes of the males contribution, at conception, infects the cells structure, thus passing on the OSN, or old sin nature. We all contain 46 chromosomes but only 23 are used from each of the parents. The female, through meioses and polar body throws of her 23 contaminated chromosomes leaving 23 without the OSN. The male inseminates the female with his 23 chromosomes containing the OSN and the fetus starts with an OSN. Psalm 51:5 Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me. This would also prove out how Jesus was born “without” an old sin nature because Mary was a virgin and conception was by the Holy Spirit. Man procreates and biological life starts in the womb; at the instance of physical life, when the child becomes independent of the mother, the instant it breaths on its own, God imparts soul life or, neshamah, in the Hebrew, and the fetus becomes a baby with a living soul. I know I’ll catch a lot of flack for this and all I can tell you is that‘s what I was taught years ago by my pastor R. B. Thieme Jr. He and a Dr. Jamieson came up with it and it all works out with Scripture and I believe it. If anyone asks me to prove it, I can’t, just take it or leave it. There is a web site, http://www.berachah.org/ Have a great day, CDBJ |

Greetings, I guess there are some of us that don't read everything that is said on a post, all of the sudden, bang, and the switch goes off! I don't know how to say it any easer! According to what I said, "If anyone asks me to prove it, I can’t, just take it or leave it! There is a web site, maybe you can write to Pastor Thieme and tell him why you can’t go along with him, after you read the book he wrote on the subject. http://www.berachah.org/ You a trying to prove you point with the wrong person. I didn’t graduate from Dallas Theological Seminary as Summa Cum Laude, Pastor Thieme did! Don’t let it spoil your day, have a nice day in spite of me and forget my post, It’s OK you don’t have to prove anything!!! CDBJ |
