384 | Hallelujah Bold In NASB? | Bible general Archive 3 | CDBJ | 181464 | ||
Hello and welcome to the forum, I use over fifteen different translations and it’s the same size in all of them. Just to list a few; Rev. 19:1 (NASB) After these things I heard, as it were, a loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying, "Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God; Rev. 19:1 (NIV) After this I heard what sounded like the roar of a great multitude in heaven shouting: "Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God, Rev. 19:1 (NLT) After this, I heard the sound of a vast crowd in heaven shouting, "Hallelujah! Salvation is from our God. Glory and power belong to him alone. I hope you enjoy the forum, CDBJ |

Hi Finder, I’m not sure I understand what it is you are trying to convey with your post? Could you please explain what you mean by your statement? You stated: “The impression that I was left with is that we all have to just wait and see what our fate will be, because we have nothing to do about it.” Who or what left you with this impression? Maybe I have some good news for you! CDBJ |

Hi Cuddle, You just made my day!! The yes answer and the fact that you are completely trusting in God’s Son Jesus is all I needed to hear. Praise the Lord. Don’t worry about all of that other stuff just keep taking in Bible doctrine on a daily basis and you will grow in grace and God can show you that He is in charge of keeping you secure whether you know it now or you don’t even understand it. It’s just another grace operation that our fantastic Saviour has provided. Nothing that anyone can do, once they are “born” into God’s family, can foil the perfect plan of God. You are just as secure as the person of Jesus Christ the very Son of God because the very second you put your “total faith” in Him, God actually placed you in Jesus positionally. 1 Peter 1:5 Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. Hebrews 12:2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; You should be receiving notices in your e-mail, from the forum, that your question has been answered, unless, when you sent the question, you said no at the bottom, about responding. Make sure you have that on. When you see in your e-mail about the study forum just scroll down to the lighted blue section and double click it, it should put you on the forum automaticly. You can click on the title of any post, which is on the left side of the home page, and when the response comes up just scroll down to put in your answer; make sure you are logged in of course. If you have any more problems don’t give up; if a dummy like me can figure it out anybody can. I just learned how to make a phone call; not really! Have a great day, CDBJ |

Hi Cuddle, That’s an interesting lengthy statement but you completely neglected to answer my question. Forget all of the forum protocol stuff just relax and be yourself, and tell me if you have come to the place “yet” where you, “personally” can say “for certain” that you have eternal life or not. There is only one answer and you are the only one on earth that can answer that question “truthfully”. I’ve ask this question to people who have been in the ministry for years and you wouldn’t believe all of the varied answers I heard; it's neat. It’s just a question that sparks my interest. It really isn’t that hard a question, and it’s probably been well over a week since the last time the forum Gestapo broke down someone’s door and tickled them to death with a chicken feather for being truthful. Tell it like it is, I won’t turn you in and besides that my German shepherd ate my black leather rain coat. Yah but they vast going to send me da new von sume day. Have fun, CDBJ |

389 | Comforting scriptures and poems | Bible general Archive 3 | CDBJ | 180843 | ||
Greetings, That is a pain that hast to be horrid! Here is a poem that, I personally, wrote several years ago that you can share with him. A Voice From Beyond I've passed into a better place of which there is no pain. So loved one keep your grieving short, your loss has been my gain. My state is far much better then the one that you behold. It's the hope that I've been looking for in the days when I’d grow old Though grief may oft consume you with thoughts about our past, Life must go, so please be strong, this grieving will not last. This place is awe inspiring, with much array to view. I've been so overwhelmed with it, I've hardly thought of you. My first day on location I was anything but bored, My first known recollection, I was looking at the Lord. The colors are fantastic, beyond your wildest dreams. Ensuing from His throne on high, an emerald rainbow streams. Enough about my bliss for now, the problem's you're forlorn, And how to rectify the day, from which our love was torn. The secret to life’s happiness is not all that absurd. It’s found with-in the Mighty Script of God’s Eternal Word. So keep yourself in hope I ask, make the Bible your main quest, And the Lord will surely comfort you, and put your heart at rest. Make sure my love of which you trust, in abundance of profession. It must be Jesus, not the church, to support your strong confession. Finally love with much ado, use not your loss for scorning. Weeping may endure the night, but joy cometh in the morning.

390 | ... | NT general Archive 1 | CDBJ | 180688 | ||
Greeting The Scribe and welcome to the forum. The direct answer to your question is found in. 1 Cor. 15:1-3 Now I make known to you, brethren, the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received, in which also you stand, [2] by which also you are saved, if you hold fast the word which I preached to you, unless you believed in vain. [3] For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, Galatians 1:1-4 Paul, an apostle (not sent from men, nor through the agency of man, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised Him from the dead), [2] and all the brethren who are with me, to the churches of Galatia: [3] Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ, [4] who gave Himself for our sins, that He might deliver us out of this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father, 1 John 2:1-2 My little children, I am writing these things to you that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous; [2] and He Himself is the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for those of the whole world. 1 John 4:10 In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Since sin has been paid for by the person of God Son, Jesus the appointed one, sin isn’t really the main issue now. The main issue is; what thank you of Christ. The only sin the Jesus didn’t pay for on the cross was the sin of one’s rejecting Jesus as their personal Saviour. Jesus said the following; John 16:7-9 (NASB) "But I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper shall not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you. [8] "And He, when He comes, will convict the world concerning sin, and righteousness, and judgment; [9] concerning sin, because they do not believe in Me; 2 Cor. 5:21 He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. 1 John 5:10-13 (NASB) The one who believes in the Son of God has the witness in himself; the one who does not believe God has made Him a liar, because he has not believed in the witness that God has borne concerning His Son. [11] And the witness is this, that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. [12] He who has the Son has the life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have the life. [13] These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, in order that you may know that you have eternal life. Enjoy the forum, CDBJ |

391 | parental responsibility and serving | Bible general Archive 3 | CDBJ | 180682 | ||
Greetings M-2-4 and welcome to the forum. I know exactly what you are saying and I believe the reason that most parents don’t take on the responsibility and pass on the Good News of the Bible to their children is because they don’t have anything “personally” to pass on; if you get my drift? Physically speaking: If people are starving to death and someone finds a never-ending supply of “free food” that is there for the taking, they would be so overjoyed that they would want to share it with everyone they know including their children. Jesus Christ means more to me then anything else and I appreciate what He personally did for me. I can’t help but share the Word of God with those that I come in contact with. Matthew 5:14-16 (KJV) Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. 15Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. 16Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. Maybe those that aren’t letting their light shine don’t really have any light? John 4:14 (KJV) But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life. The word for “springing up” is translated from the Koine Greek word HALLOMAI, and it means to, jump, spring up, or to gush out. There aren’t many around today that fit that description! Notice in the following verse that they had been with someone; it was evident. The same goes for us when we spend time with God’s written Word. Acts 4:13 (KJV) Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, ------- that they had been with Jesus. I hope you enjoy the forum, CDBJ |

392 | how can faith be defined. | Heb 11:6 | CDBJ | 180633 | ||
Hi geostephone me again, Faith as expressed in Heb. 11:1 is as follows, Hebrews 11:1 (NKJV) Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. What that is saying in effect is, “substantiating evidence” in the frame of reference of one’s soul. i.e. positive or real proof to believers through the communication of the Holy Spirit. Example” Trying to explain “biblical information”, to one who hasn’t been born of the spirit, is like trying to convince a blind person, from birth, what the color red looks like. 1 Cor. 2:14 (GW) A person who isn't spiritual doesn't accept the teachings of God's Spirit. He thinks they're nonsense. He can't understand them because a person must be spiritual to evaluate them. John 3:3 Jesus answered and said to him, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." The word “see” in that verse is translated from the Koine Greek word “EIDO” and it carries the connotation of, perception or understanding. The word “faith” in Heb. 11:1 is the Greek word PISTIS and is translated believe in Johns gospel. It means to rely on, trust in, and have absolute confidence in. Proverbs 3:5 (KJV) Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. Ephes. 6:10 (KJV) Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.

393 | Unclean Mammal? | Leviticus | CDBJ | 180609 | ||
Greetings apostolicguy and welcome to the forum. Technically speaking, the only one I can think of would be a bat which isn’t really a bird but it’s a mammal that flies and found at the bottom of the list. Birds aren’t mammals and visa versa but you might be looking for the list of, Leviticus 11:13-19 (NASB) And these are they which ye shall have in abomination among the fowls; they shall not be eaten, they are an abomination: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the ospray, [14] And the vulture, and the kite after his kind; [15] Every raven after his kind; [16] And the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckow, and the hawk after his kind, [17] And the little owl, and the cormorant, and the great owl, [18] And the swan, and the pelican, and the gier eagle, [19] And the stork, the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat.

394 | what comes first hope or faith | Bible general Archive 3 | CDBJ | 180545 | ||
Greeting and welcome to the forum, Your answer is Faith and then Hope. Speaking of Jesus; Ephes. 1:9-13 Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself: [10] That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him: [11] In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will: [12] That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ. [13] In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, The word translated “hope” in the English comes to us from the word ELPIS in the Koine Greek and it actually means confidence or an earnest expectation. This confidence is the work of the Holy Spirit revealing truth to us from God’s Word the Bible, and with out the help of the Holy Spirit it’s impossible to have “hope”. The Holy Spirit doesn’t indwell a person until after they have faith in God’s Son Jesus. Enjoy the forum |

395 | What happens immediatly after you die? | 2 Corinthians | CDBJ | 180285 | ||
Greetings ddethdan and welcome to the forum, I must say, you certainly have a tidal wave of questions but I will answer your first question. Many might be looking for feed back from you before all of those questions are answered. Immediately after “I” die, that is “my” physical body I’m going to be at home looking right at the Lord! 2 Cor. 5:8 we are of good courage, I say, and prefer rather to be absent from the body and to be at home with the Lord. The words, with the Lord, in the original language of the Koine Greek are in the accusative case, “PROS TON KURION”; it literally means face to face with the Lord. I hope you enjoy the forum, CDBJ |

396 | what is the wages of sin? | Rom 6:23 | CDBJ | 180243 | ||
Greetings Wisdom111, I think a lot of times we try to make more out of something then is actually there. Wages, plain pure and simple, are something that we have coming to us as a result of what we justly earned and deserve. I.e. God says we all have death coming to us because we all have sinned. The antithesis or opposite of earning something as the verse in Romans 6:22 states is a gift. Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. It’s interesting to note that the word “but” in the English is the word DE in the Koine Greek, which is a contrastive conjunction. God is explaining to us that our “wages”, which is death, is in direct contrast to God’s eternal life which He offering to give us as a Gift. Here comes the strange part, at least it seem that way to me. We can’t really get eternal life by it’s self but if we have something else, eternal life is, well, a by product of the other object. That object is God’s Son Jesus, the special appointed one of God. Check out this next verse and couple it with the Gift of God. 1 John 5:10-13 He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. (11) And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, AND THIS LIFE IS IN HIS SON. [12] He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. [13] These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. That Gift of God, eternal life, is the automatic result of believing on, or trusting in and relying on the person of Jesus. John 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: With wages, we get the credit, death; with the gift of God, all we can do is accept it by believing what God tells us and give Him all the credit. It’s God’s love gift to us by the death of His Son in our place. The sins of the world were poured out an Christ and judged, he took our punishment and offers us His righteousness. 2 Cor. 5:21 For he hath made him (Jesus) to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. 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. I sure get excited about something that is so fantastic and I have a hard time stopping. I sure hope that all that have read this have come to the point where they have put “all” of the faith and hope and trust in the person of the Lord Jesus Christ! The moment they do it will be the greatest day of their life. With a better day yet to come, CDBJ |

398 | What is the mind a product of? | Rom 12:2 | CDBJ | 179868 | ||
Hello JE, I think I can safely say that one's memory is definitely not extinguished at death due to the scriptures that suggest otherwise, if that is what you meant by the mind. Luke 16:19-31 explains a situation that happened in the place of the departed spirits and it’s evident that those within both realms were using the powers of memory. Luke 16:19-31 "Now there was a certain rich man, and he habitually dressed in purple and fine linen, gaily living in splendor every day. [20] "And a certain poor man named Lazarus was laid at his gate, covered with sores, [21] and longing to be fed with the crumbs which were falling from the rich man's table; besides, even the dogs were coming and licking his sores. [22] "Now it came about that the poor man died and he was carried away by the angels to Abraham's bosom; and the rich man also died and was buried. [23] "And in Hades he lifted up his eyes, being in torment, and saw Abraham far away, and Lazarus in his bosom. [24] "And he cried out and said, 'Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool off my tongue; for I am in agony in this flame.' [25] "But Abraham said, 'Child, remember that during your life you received your good things, and likewise Lazarus bad things; but now he is being comforted here, and you are in agony. [26] 'And besides all this, between us and you there is a great chasm fixed, in order that those who wish to come over from here to you may not be able, and that none may cross over from there to us.' [27] "And he said, 'Then I beg you, Father, that you send him to my father's house-- [28] for I have five brothers-- that he may warn them, lest they also come to this place of torment.' [29] "But Abraham said, 'They have Moses and the Prophets; let them hear them.' [30] "But he said, 'No, Father Abraham, but if someone goes to them from the dead, they will repent!' [31] "But he said to him, 'If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, neither will they be persuaded if someone rises from the dead.' " I believe that the brain is destroyed at the point of the death of the body but ones memory continues on with his soul. CDBJ |

399 | Is the spirit and mnd the same? | Rom 12:2 | CDBJ | 179838 | ||
Greeting JE and welcome to the forum. There are several trains of thought on your axiom and I am of the school that believes man was created a three part being, or that Adam was body soul and spirit, until his appetite did him in! When God told Adam not to eat of the forbidden fruit because “in the day” he ate of it he would surely die. I believe Adams spirit died that very day; and that man’s spirit is his receptor for knowledge from God or spiritual information. Genesis 2:17 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die. The Bible says that Adam didn’t separate or leave from his body until he was I believe 930 years. Couple that verse with the following. 1 Cor. 2:14 But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. The natural man is one born of Adam and “I believe” he is as such is a man with a “body” and a “soul” but a “dead inoperative spirit”. Thus the need to be born again so that he can receive and perceive information from God. John 3:3 Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." The Koine Greek word, used here as see, was the word IDEO. IDEO, carries the connotation of understanding. The understanding of spiritual phenomenon needs an operative spirit to perceive the thing of God in my estimation and not just a mind. I think the next verse shows a correlation but the mind but without the living spirit it won’t function the same way. Ephes. 4:23-24 and be renewed in the spirit of your mind, [24] and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness. 1 Cor. 2:11 For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God. My two cents worth, and I hope you enjoy the forum, CDBJ |

400 | The risk of emptying oneself? | NT general Archive 1 | CDBJ | 179833 | ||
Greetings Azure, I will try and answer your question and keep it as short as I can. Once a person turns to Jesus and “completely” trust in Him for their eternal future God seals them with the promise of His Spirit. They become a child of God by “grace through faith” in Christ and they are eternally possessed and indwelt by the Holy Spirit. Tie these verses together and you will have the picture. John 1:12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: Ephes. 1:12-13 that we who first trusted in Christ should be to the praise of His glory. [13] In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, John 14:17 the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. Hebrews 13:5 (B) For He Himself has said, "I will never leave you nor forsake you." 1 John 4:4 You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. There are many imitation “Christians” in the world and they just try to clean their lives up but they haven’t really been born into God’s family, as it were. 2 Cor. 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. The key to this previous verse is “in Christ”. Have a great day, CDBJ |
