321 | Rebuking satan out loud of in my mind. | Jude 1:9 | CDBJ | 193405 | ||
Hello AMALBP, You must be pretty high up on the spiritual ladder seeing that Satan himself needs to attend to you personally. I have enough problems just trying to keep my old sin nature in check! I am assuming that you can back up all of these sanctimonious claims with chapter a verse; I would hate to think that these pronouncements are all your ideas. 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: You closed your post with "good luck"; where exactly does luck fit into God's plan considering the following? Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. Please inform, CDBJ |

322 | When are names put in the Book of Life | Heb 6:4 | CDBJ | 193313 | ||
I was saved about 42 years ago, when I crossed through that narrow gate and that gate Jesus Himself. I became a child of God and or one of his divinely protected sheep. I don’t know what it is that people are reading in Hebrew 6: but if it’s something about loosing ones salvation they better read it starting in Heb.6:4 because if they have already lost their salvation it’s impossible to get it back according to what those verses claim and the way they are reading it. The Good News is this, it’s impossible to loose salvation and here is why. It’s impossible to lose salvation because if it could be lost there would be no way to regain it, and that’s what the author is trying to point out. There is no way to loose it because if that were a possibility. Then there would be no way to get it back seeing those that make this claim are in the process of crucifying to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame. If I say that I can lose my salvation then God’s plain for eternal life has a flaw in it! If there were anything that I could do that could negate the work of Jesus Christ for my life, would have to be the epitome of human arrogance. That, in effect is like saying that God wasn’t smart enough to figure out all the problems that I would face as a believer in Christ. The myriads of “believers” can’t seem to remove themselves from the cradle and as a result they will never get past first base in the spiritual life. They expel all of their energy just trying to maintain their salvation and have failed to exercise and respond to 1 John 1:9 1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. God wants them to go on to perfection and be weaned off of the milk of the word. The Lord had a special rest for “believers” in there daily walk and it’s completely separated from saving grace, It’s a grace for living. John 10:10 I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. Believers are the only ones that can enter this stage of maturity. The majority of Christians have nothing to show but a birth announcement because they can’t get past the eternal security hang ups. Hebrews 6:1 Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, Some will never get past being breast feed because the only Grace they have ever experienced is Saving Grace. Hebrews 6:9 But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak. Hebrews 4:11 Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief. Hebrews 3:1 Wherefore, holy brethren , partakers of the heavenly calling , consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession , Christ Jesus; Hebrews 4:9 There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. A faith rest “yet remains” available to those that have entered God’s family by Christ Jesus. This is life is the “more abundantly” that Jesus speaks of and we are to utilize it by the use of 1 John 1:9, plus claiming the provisional logistical grace promises that God has provided through out His Word. 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. CDBJ |

324 | What was the point of the temptation ? | Matt 4:1 | CDBJ | 193168 | ||
Greetings friend, Let me see if I’m reading this right? I said, “why do you keep reading it”, and you say as a result that I’m the following; “If you intend to be a jerk again and ask insulting questions like the one you did, then keep your comments to yours.” I believe you are the one that claimed the following, and as a result you are insinuating that God’s Word is a lie on one point or the other? You stated, with reference to the temptation of Christ. “If Jesus could not in some form give into temptation, then there was no temptation. And if there was no temptation, then Hebrew 4:15 is a pure lie.” I might be a jerk but do you thank it’s possible that you might not fully understand something in God’s Word. It’s not a good idea to assume that one is right and God’s word is wrong! That might not be what you were thinking but that’s sure what you put in print. 1 Cor. 14:36 What? came the word of God out from you? or came it unto you only? Someone once said that when we point the finger at some one there are always four pointing back at us. Thanks for the personal assessment and I forgive you anyway, CDBJ |

326 | Can MY faith in Christ save me? | Eph 2:8 | CDBJ | 193027 | ||
Greetings RNtim and welcome to the forum. Here is a point that has helped me understand the word “faith” and it might clear thing up a little. The word faith is what’s know as a transitive verb, that is it has a subject and an object it’s the object of faith that has all the merit or gets all the credit, not the subject or the one having the faith or the one believing. Jesus must be the object of faith in salvation “as the living word”. That’s the starting point for the child of God and as a believer in Christ one continues in God’s plan by exercising faith in God’s “written word”, The Bible. As for Peter’s stumbling you might be able to derive some comfort from the following verses. Romans 3:3 What then? If some did not believe, their unbelief will not nullify the faithfulness of God, will it? 2 Tim. 2:11-13 It is a trustworthy statement: For if we died with Him, we shall also live with Him; 12If we endure, we shall also reign with Him; If we deny Him, He also will deny us; 13If we are faithless, He remains faithful; for He cannot deny Himself. Sometimes even as in Peter’s case we aren’t faithful but that doesn’t change the fact that God is faithful. I like this poem by the famous preacher, Charles Spurgeon. "If ever it should come to pass, That sheep of Christ might fall away, My fickle, feeble soul, alas! Would fall a thousand times a day." I hope you enjoy the forum, CDBJ |

327 | If I commit suicide, can I go to heaven? | Job | CDBJ | 192577 | ||
Hi Larry, No explanation needed pal. I have been in the same boat and I would like to say that the Lord has richly blesses us with the greatest doctors in history. There is medication available for us when deep cycles of depression hit and if it works for me it can work for you; you’re not alone with these problems. James 5:16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. 2 Cor. 1:3-4 Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; 4Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God. Yours in Christ, CDBJ |

328 | If I commit suicide, can I go to heaven? | Job | CDBJ | 192551 | ||
Greetings Larry, You are distorting Scripture with that kind of thought pattern. Those thought patterns are not reflected in God’s word as such and the adversary the Devil loves to twist doctrine in order to move misinformed souls into such an irreversible state. 2 Cor. 13:5 Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates? God brings true love into ones life when they are born of His Spirit. Look at what the Bible has to say about perfect love. 1 Cor. 13:5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; For one to take their own life would be way outsider of the will of God and not His plan for that person’s life yet it sure would fit into the adversary’s plan. God is able to remove any one at any time from this life but as long as they are still alive in this life God has a plan for them in His program. There is “no problem” that is too big for the plan of God. “True believers” are commanded the following. 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. Anyone that takes their own life is superseding their will over God’s divine will and will end up the loser! 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. John 10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. CDBJ |

Hi Grand Tad and welcome to the forum. You might want to check the date on the far right side of the page of the post that you are answering? You answered a question that was asked in November of 2005. It takes a little time to fall into the swing of things but don't give up! It's nice and carries a lot more authority when one backs up what they suggest with a verse or two from scripture. I could tell you all kinds of stuff but look what carries the power. 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: If “our opinions” don’t quite add up to the standard which one is right? Right—God’s Word wins. Keep up the good work, CDBJ |

No, I didn’t suggest either one, I only pointed out what a commentary stated but the Earth is in fact off it’s axis 23.45 degrees not 00.123, which is in the question someplace. Have fun, CDBJ |

Hi Azure, That wouldn’t be what the Bible recognizes as a pride issue would it, calling the following into action? James 4:6 But He gives a greater grace. Therefore it says, "GOD IS OPPOSED TO THE PROUD, BUT GIVES GRACE TO THE HUMBLE." I finally realize what the world is coming to; old age! A little humor, CDBJ |

334 | Is Satan a fallen angel? | Num 22:22 | CDBJ | 189254 | ||
Greetings BibleVerse, Your post is describing they actions of the one called Satan as you suggest the following and that being a reference to a fallen angel, “However, he later thought too much of himself and wanted the worship that rightly belongs to God” Where do you personally think the Bible places Jesus Christ as a result of the following verses, i.e. who is He? Hebrews 1:1-8 (KJV) God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, 2Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; 3Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; 4Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they. 5For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son? 6And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him. 7And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire. 8But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.

335 | Which resurrection is used, 1st or 2nd? | Dan 7:25 | CDBJ | 189167 | ||
Hello M.Royal, The answer to your question is neither one! The rapture, as many call it, is only “a portion” of the first resurrection which started with Christ Jesus and terminates after the 1000 year reign of Christ. Check out an answer that I gave on this by entering the number #153613 in the search box. Rev. 20:5-6 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. (( This is the first resurrection.)) 6Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

Greetings Friend, I believe you could really use your gift if you could sculpt a large open Bible with very clear lettering that shows the Book of John starting from the first chapter to the last and maybe a different colored stone that stood out with, John 3:36 He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him." You could even show why John wrote the book with these verses. John 20:30-31 Many other signs therefore Jesus also performed in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book; 31but these have been written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing you may have life in His name. Nothing can convey what people need to know about God more then the Bible. Have you personally come to the place yet where God has revealed to you that you are assured of heaven and all of God’s glory? There are those of us that can say this, being included in the “us” of the following verse, are you one of them or would you like to be? 1 John 5:11 And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. Now those are real fact that expresses excitement and it’s in the past tense. i.e. it’s a done deal, do you have that yet? Are you good enough to sculpt something like that? CDBJ |

337 | Mediator | Heb 4:16 | CDBJ | 189003 | ||
Hi Brian, Pray tell, no pun intended, where in the Bible does it say that the saints in heaven can even “hear” the prayers of those on Earth. Maybe you can explain, with Scripture, even if they know what’s going on down here on Earth? It’s bad enough just being here on Earth why would the saints in heaven even want to be reminded of what’s going on down here; they served there time in all this misery. Those in Heaven don’t have a resurrected body yet, so how are they supposed to be able to receive and clearly seperate all of these millions of earthlings talking or praying to them all at once; that’s a good trick and even the highest angel, that God created, doesn’t have the ability to read minds so now explain how far your foice can carry! Only God has omniscience! Maybe Paul didn’t understand as well as you do, that he could help those that he speaks of by praying for them when he got to heaven? Philip. 1:23-25 But I am hard-pressed from both directions, having the desire to depart and be with Christ, for that is very much better; 24yet to remain on in the flesh is more necessary for your sake. 25And convinced of this, I know that I shall remain and continue with you all for your progress and joy in the faith, Can you cite examples where any of the Apostles prayed to those that had passed on or even suggested to we do such?

338 | Why do people like to accuse me? | Luke 6:37 | CDBJ | 188996 | ||
Hi Vincent, It's good to hear from you. We’re all going to die of one thing or another, and sooner or later and this life is short at best. The key to an everlasting glorious life is found in God’s perfect flawless plan. Jesus said, John 10:10 "The thief comes only to steal, and kill, and destroy; I came that they might have life, and might have it abundantly. That means, a full and meaningful life! The Bible tells us what God’s plan is, but there are few that actually find it, compared to the masses on this Earth that are miserable. Have you discovered God plan yet for your life; do you want to know what God has done for you? Matthew 7:13-14 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 14Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. I’m confused as to why you would even bother entering a Bible forum if you don’t want to know what the Bible has to say and how God can change everything in your life. It almost sound like you are enjoying you misery because you sound like a broken record on the subject of your problem. Do you really want a solution or are you content with just venting as though that's going to make you feel better? I can direct you to God’s solution in the Bible but no one on this forum can do a thing about those people that are bugging you. It appears as though you are letting the misery of others ruin your life; they are actually stealing your happiness! Wouldn’t you like to change all that? You can never change others all you can do is change yourself. I’ve been down that road and I “know” because God changed my life when I hit the dead end like your facing. You’re playing right into the adversaries hands when you boil about others; is that what you want? You have everything to gain and nothing to loose with God’s plan; He’s never made a mistake yet. Start a new life in the “Lord’s family”, it’s great, but it’s is going to require a new birth or being born again on your part in order to get it started but the Lord will do that for you. 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. Have fun, CDBJ |

339 | Why do people like to accuse me? | Luke 6:37 | CDBJ | 188951 | ||
Hi Vincent, That’s a real bummer!! What you’ve got, if those are all the facts, is a real bad case of injustice and I feel sorry for your grief, we sure don’t live in a perfect world to say the least. I can sure tell you this for sure though, others aren’t going to be responsible for you eternal future by any stretch of the imagination. The Good news is this; the Bible clearly tells us that Jesus, God’s Son, paid for all of your sins, past, present and future. Speaking of Jesus, 1 John 2:2 He is the sacrifice for our sins. He takes away not only our sins but the sins of all the world. Jesus did that for us, and if a person will put “all of their hope” in what Jesus did for them, God says He will credit the very righteousness of Jesus to our account. That’s God working on your behalf in spite of a bad situation; your sins. 2 Cor. 5:21 He made Him (Jesus) who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. God personally paid the price for you that amounted to a lot more then a vehicular violation. Further God says that if you believe in, trust in and have faith in His Son, Jesus the Christ, He, God, will give you the “free” gift of eternal life, i.e. it can’t be earned or worked for, its God’s grace gift to you. Ephes. 2:8 For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; Here is a “promise” from the Judge of the highest court in existence. John 3:36 "He who believes in the Son has eternal life; but he who does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him." Why don’t you turn a bad situation, the injustice that come your way in to a good outcome and tell God that you are going to trust Jesus for your eternal life and cause it to be a blessing for you? Again I’m sorry about the improper justice you received! Read the Gospel of John, it’s the forth book in the New Testament, and have a great day, CDBJ |

340 | Tell satan's job when he was in heave | Revelation | CDBJ | 188896 | ||
Where does it say that those in Jude 6 are moving about? Jude 1:6 And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day. Compare that "specific group" with the following. Genesis 6:2-4 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. 3And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. 4There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown. Who were the sons of God? Type (sons of God) in the search box on the right side of the home page and you can spend hours researching the question. I'm not the one who isn't convinced you prove your point and I will believe you. God's Word, the Bible doesn't have any mistakesd in it so make what you're saying fit! Have fun, CDBJ |
