42 | Three Days and Three Nights | Bible general Archive 4 | CDBJ | 236365 | ||
Greetings EdB, I did an extensive study on that very subject several years ago and came up with the same exact conclusion, i.e. you hit the nail right on the head. Everybody that tries to figure this out assumes that the Sabbath is Saturday and that’s where they get all mixed up when counting back. I was told that the process as was discussed in the earlier posts is a carryover from Romanism and the Sabbath had to be Saturday: NOT! There is a great book out on “The Jewish Feast” that was written by a Marvin Rosenthal; the art work in it is fantastic and it was through this book that it was made clear to me. I used the book as a teaching aid in a Sunday morning class that lasted close to two months. Have a great day and I like your post, CDBJ |

That’s very interesting, how often do you go into your closet to pray? Matthew 6:6 (KJV) 6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. CDBJ |

How many books does your OKJV Bible have in it? If there are only sixty six then it isn’t of the oldest KJV. I examined an old KJV that had the books that are called the Deuterocanonical Books of the Bible. These are books which are included in some version of the canonical Bible, but which have been excluded at one time or another, for textual or doctrinal issues. These are 'Deuterocanonical', which literally means 'the secondary canon.' I’ve memorized numerous verses from the KJV but in fact the accuracy of this translation suffers from countless anachronisms due in part to the Elizabethan English. The KJV was also translated from the Textus Receptus Manuscript, which the better scholars have found to be inferior to other manuscripts that have been discovered since that period. CDBJ |

48 | Why did God reject Cain's offering | Gen 4:5 | CDBJ | 236299 | ||
Greetings, In reading Gen 8:21 the translations that I have don’t describe what you have inferred and there are about nine more that I haven’t listed here and they don’t suggest what you are saying either. You stated the following: “Offerings from the ground are perfectly acceptable. Gen. 8:21” Genesis 8:21 (KJV) 21 And the LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done. Genesis 8:21 (NASB) 21 The LORD smelled the soothing aroma; and the LORD said to Himself, "I will never again curse the ground on account of man, for the intent of man's heart is evil from his youth; and I will never again destroy every living thing, as I have done. Genesis 8:21 (NIV) 21 The LORD smelled the pleasing aroma and said in his heart: "Never again will I curse the ground because of man, even though every inclination of his heart is evil from childhood. And never again will I destroy all living creatures, as I have done. Genesis 8:21 (ASV) 21 And Jehovah smelled the sweet savor; and Jehovah said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake, for that the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more everything living, as I have done. Genesis 8:21 (NKJV) 21 And the LORD smelled a soothing aroma. Then the LORD said in His heart, "I will never again curse the ground for man's sake, although the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; nor will I again destroy every living thing as I have done. How do you reconcile the fact that your statement is in direct discord with the following? Hebrews 9:22 (NKJV) 22 And according to the law almost all things are purified with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no remission. Genesis 8:21 (AMP) 21 When the Lord smelled the pleasing odor [a scent of satisfaction to His heart], the Lord said to Himself, I will never again curse the ground because of man, for the imagination (the strong desire) of man's heart is evil and wicked from his youth; neither will I ever again smite and destroy every living thing, as I have done. I.e. (No Veggies allowed!) What translation are you using? CDBJ |

49 | what is grace | Bible general Archive 4 | CDBJ | 236146 | ||
Greetings and welcome to the Forum. Grace is all that God is free to do for mankind on the basis of what Jesus Christ did on the cross. It can not be earned or worked for, if it could be then it wouldn't be grace. There is a play on the word GRACE (God's Riches At Christ's Expense) Grace is actually the plan of God for mankind since Jesus was here the first time. Have a great day, CDBJ |

50 | It's up to the believer to be filled, HS | Acts | CDBJ | 236132 | ||
Greetings, Every believer at the point of trusting in Jesus Christ for their salvation receives 39 irrevocable absolutes and 1 revocable absolute. Compiled by Lewis Sperry Chafer, Dallas Theological Seminary revised by R.B. Thieme jr. Dallas Theological Seminary We are filled with the Spirit at the point of salvation but when believers commit that first act of sin after salvation the total filling and control of the Spirit is quenched and the believer is instructed to fill this deficiency. The only thing that grieves or quenches the Spirit is when the believer sins; the only way to recover from that condition is the exercise of 1 John 1:9 (NKJV) 9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. No believer is ever totally free of their Old Sin Nature until they are removed from their present physical body by death or the rapture. All believers at any one point in time are either carnal or spiritual, it is an absolute, which means it is either 100 percent one way or the other, and there is no 25percent carnal and 75 percent spiritual or 50/50 as it were. What this means is that ones old sin nature is in control 100 percent of the time or the Holy Spirit is 100 percent in control. Anything that the believer does in the way of works for rewards, will be awarded at the Judgment seat of Christ shortly after the resurrection of the believers body when Christ returns for His bride the church. The efforts of working for Christ in any form must come from the influence or guiding of the Holy Spirit not from the dictates of ones old sin nature commonly referred to as the flesh. The Koine Greek word (SARX) is used interchangeably for the flesh, the old sin nature and the word carnal. The all represent the believer being dictated to by their old sin nature and is the energy of the flesh in action. If there is any unconfessed sin in the believers life the efforts performed are from the old sin nature and they will be burned up like wood, hay and straw. The works performed while in fellowship or under the control of the Holy Spirit will be counted at the judgment seat of Christ as gold, silver and precious stones and these don’t burn. 1 Corinthians 3:8-15 (NKJV) Paul is speaking here: 8 Now he who plants and he who waters are one, and each one will receive his own reward according to his own labor. 9 For we are God's fellow workers; you are God's field, you are God's building. 10 According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I have laid the foundation, and another builds on it. But let each one take heed how he builds on it. 11 For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12 Now if anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, 13 each one's work will become clear; for the Day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will test each one's work, of what sort it is. 14 If anyone's work which he has built on it endures, he will receive a reward. 15 If anyone's work is burned, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire. This is not a judgment for sins, that was all accomplished at the cross on the person of Jesus Christ, God’s appointed one, He took our sins on Himself and the Father judged them in His Son; salvation is a done deal and Jesus paid the full price! Ephesians 2:8-9 (NKJV) 8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not of works, lest anyone should boast. Ephesians 5:18 (NKJV) 18 And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit, The word dissipation is translated from the Koine Greek word (ASOTIA) and it infers that the one filled with wine is under its control and acting like the unsaved. ASOTIA is a compound word the first part (A) is what’s known as the alpha privative or a negative in the Greek, it is coupled with (SOZO) which is where we get the word saved, i.e. those under the influence of to much wine are dictated to by the wine and acting as an unsaved person. The word (but) in, (but be filled) is the Koine (ALLA) and is a contrastive conjunction which say, don’t be controlled buy the wine (but) be filled with and controlled by the Holy Spirit! CDBJ |

51 | It's up to the believer to be filled, HS | Not Specified | CDBJ | 236103 | ||
The Word of God commands us to be filled with the Spirit, i.e. the Holy Spirit. Ephesians 5:18 (NKJV) 18 And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit, This command, “be filled with the Spirit” comes to us from the Koine Greek verb (PLEROO). This verb isn’t a suggestion but a command in the “imperative mood”; not doing so would instantly produce a sin. It’s in the “present tense”, which connotes a continuous action or keep on doing this; i.e. being filled with the Spirit and it literally means to fill up a deficiency. Pleroo, or being filled is in the “passive voice”, thus the believer receives the action of the verb of being filled. The word with as in, with the Spirit, it's actually the Greek word EN and means by the Spirit. The word (EN) is a preposition in the “dative case” which signifies advantage or in other words, it’s to the believers advantage to be filled with the Spirit continuously. Every born again believer in Christ has the Spirit the very moment after they believe the Gospel message and totally put their undivided trust in the Person and finished work of God’s Son Jesus Christ. Notice the action and timing of the action in the following verses. Ephesians 1:11-13 (NKJV) Speaking of Jesus: 11 In Him also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will, 12 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, God’s sealing or stamp of approval is non other then God The Holy Spirit Himself sent to dwell within the body or temple of every true believer in Christ to guide and instruct and comfort along with many other functions. God has further promised that this is a permanent situation but without mentioning the quantitative aspect, i.e. the “total” filling is not guaranteed and this is not due to any fault of God, needless to say, but to the individual believer. The indwelling Spirit of God can be grieved and quenched but Scripture commands us not to do this. The BIG QUESTIONS are: How do we grieve and quench the Spirit and since we are commanded to be filled with the Spirit, how is this accomplished. I have found that most believers are very uninformed with regards to this function but please don’t be shy in posting your response! Have a great day, CDBJ |

Friend, I think you have completely missed what I have tried to convey to you but then maybe I’m mixed up, you tell me! I’ll try again: In your post you stated this; (when these commissions were wrote Christ had not ascended back to the Father yet) I surmise that you meant written instead of wrote which we could say penned, for sake of clarity, when the writer produced his literary work. The problem is, there wasn’t any written form of the New Testament in any form until, and this is debated, the writings of Paul or James and that was from somewhere between 45 A.D. and 55 A.D. Most everyone knows that Matthew, Mark, Luke and John weren’t the first books written in the New Testament; that’s just how man placed them in the file of books that we call the Bible. Jesus had been seated along side the Father at His right hand for many, many years before we had any script of the New Testament. If that was not the case how could Paul have seen Jesus while on the road to Damascus when Paul became a believer, seeing that his writings were those of the earliest? Your material isn’t in question; it’s your time frame that has to be off as to when the earliest books of the New Testament were written. I hope you see what I’m trying to explain, no harm intended! Have a great day, CDBJ |

54 | the rapture | NT general | CDBJ | 236064 | ||
Mass confusion? Your post as follows, in part: “In Revelation 9:1-6 the fifth seal, God is instructing Satan what he can and can't do durning his five month tribulation here on earth) I’m not quite sure what translation you are using but in my NASB the fifth seal is opened in the 6th chapter in verse 9. Revelation 6:9 (NASB) 9 When the Lamb 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; I also can’t find in chapter 9 where Satin’s name is even mentioned; and are you confused between the seals and the trumpets? I also wasn’t entirely clear where the tribulation is only five months in duration: I can’t find that at all! Please advise, it’s not clear, CDBJ |

Greetings and welcome to the forum. You suggested this in your post note the following. “if it a lines with GOD'S word is what counts when these commissions were wrote Christ had not ascended back to the Father yet and again it is not what we say it is what GOD'S WORD SAYS.” Everything that is available from historical records show that the earliest writings of the New Testament didn’t come about until in the late forties. Where did you see the information suggesting that it was in existence while Christ was still here on earth? CDBJ |

56 | how do you explain 1 corithians 6:11 | 1 Cor 6:11 | CDBJ | 236021 | ||
Greetings Bammer and welcome to the forum. As long as we still remain in these bodies we will sin. The fact of the matter is we as believers in Jesus don't practice sin but if it happens that we sin we have 1 John 1:9 (KJV) 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. When we do sin it puts us out of fellowship with the Holy Spirit but 1 John 1;9 put us back in fellowship if we name that sin to God. I hope you enjoy the forum, CDBJ |

57 | the first resurrection | Mark 16:9 | CDBJ | 236013 | ||
Greetings, Matthew 27:52-53 (NKJV) 52 and the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised; 53 and coming out of the graves after His resurrection, they went into the holy city and appeared to many. This has always been a debated situation and no one can say for sure but I can give you my slant on what it “might“ be? Taking into consideration the following: Ephesians 4:8-10 (KJV) 8 Wherefore he saith, and gave gifts unto men. 9 (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth? 10 He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.) The part of these verses that I would like to emphasis is this, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, The captives are found in the parable of the rich man and Lazarus and what is depicted is the fact that before Jesus died on the Cross mankind wasn’t able to go to heaven as it were due to the fact that their sins were only atoned for, which is noting more then a covering. They were completely trusting in God’s Messiah that was to come but their sins had not been taken away yet, as per, John 1:29 (KJV) 29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. The key words are TAKETH AWAY the sin of the world, i.e. payment in full not just covered as in the Old Testament sacrifices of animal substitutes for the real thing to come. Due to this fact those believers of the OT had to go to a place referred to as Abraham’s bosom. This is pointed out in the parable. Luke 16:19-31 (KJV) 19 There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day: 20 And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores, 21 And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. 22 And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; 23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. 24 And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. 25 But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. 26 And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence. 27 Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house: 28 For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment. 29 Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them. 30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent. 31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead. Now those in the parable had “some kind of an interim body” due to the fact there are four of the five senses mentioned and used in the parable the only one not noticed is the sense of smell but keep in mind that these aren’t glorified bodies like those in the resurrection. According to 1Cor 15 those that their bodies have died, i.e. as sleep because they will rise again, will get their new glorified bodies before those that will be changed in the twinkling of a eye, i.e. those that are still alive when Christ returns to be gloried in His saints. Any how, that’s “my take” on those that were dead and walking around after Christ paid the price for the sins of the world and was resurrected. CDBJ |

58 | Rev 22:12 and post millennial judgement? | Revelation | CDBJ | 236002 | ||
Greetings, If it’s OK with you, in order not to cause confusion, I would like to answer these one at a time? First question to answer; “is there a difference between being judged for you works, and being rewarded for your works in Rev 22:12? I’m not sure. Also I don’t know what (BEMA) means.” My intent was to show that every born again believer in Christ will stand before Him to be rewarded for that which was done while still in the flesh. 2 Corinthians 5:10 (NKJV) 10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad. This is a judgment for rewards, (Koine Greek “BEMA” is like the reward stand at the Olympic games), not for our sins, they were all judged at the cross and Jesus paid for those and not only ours but for the whole world. 1 John 2:2 (NKJV) 2 And He Himself is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the whole world. The rewards for our lives while as believers here in this life will be rewarded as follows. 1 Corinthians 3:11-15 (NKJV) 11 For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12 Now if anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, 13 each one's work will become clear; for the Day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will test each one's work, of what sort it is. 14 If anyone's work which he has built on it endures, he will receive a reward. 15 If anyone's work is burned, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire. Those that haven’t put the totality of their faith alone in Christ alone are already judged and this is known before they die physically and God’s Word tells exactly why. John 3:18 (NKJV) 18 He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. John 3:36 (NKJV) 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." Have a great day, CDBJ |
||||||
59 | Rev 22:12 and post millennial judgement? | Revelation | CDBJ | 235973 | ||
Greetings, Hebrews 9:27 (NKJV) 27 And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment, Seeing as how this is the case when will those that are born during the millennium be judged seeing that they will be born with an old sin nature yet many will believed in Jesus? The only judgment mentioned in Scripture after that period is the white throne judgment, even though the dead unbelievers are judged then it is possible the those that believe in Christ during the thousand year reign might be judged at that time as well out of the book of life and for their works. Believers alive before the rapture will be judged for their works after the rapture and are judged at the (BEMA) seat of Christ and their works will be tried by fire, i.e. wood hay and stubble or gold silver and precious stones; this judgment is for rewards only. Christ says that He comes quickly and my reward is with me. Have a great day, CDBJ |
