Hi Again EdB, On the subject of "written theology"; years ago I use to get audio tapes from a fellow that lived in Arizona and his name was Larry Wright and he was a fabulous teacher with the most relaxed manner about him, he’s at home with the Lord now. Anyway he was talking, or should I say witnessing, to a fellow one day about the Bible and Christ and the guy said, with a frown on his face, “I don’t believe the Bible because it was “written by man”. Now Larry was the type that would come out with thing that people would say later; “wow I wish I had thought of that”, you know the type, very quick witted. Any way, he came right back and blurted out, “Well who did you expect to write it; “A DUCK?” That one has stuck with me for years. Well thanks for the comeback and Happy Valentines Day to you and all, CDBJ |

Hi EdB, You’ve been around here a long time, It appears like everybody on the forum is getting bent out of shape this last month, I haven’t seen it this bad in the 11 or so years that I’ve been on the forum; what gives? What’s the big deal on theology, all it is, is a catch all and it’s a compound word from the Greek “Theos” - God and lology - study of and it more or less lumps it all together. Doctrines on the other hand are the individual topics found in Scripture grouping verses covering the numerous individual topics as one group including everything on that subject. Example, which I know for sure you know, but for the benefit of others. Eschatology, Pneumatology, Soteriology, Harmatology, Thanatology etc. etc. odd infinite item and the list goes on and on! It seems lately like people feel as though they are all being picked on or something; are you noticing this same vibe; it’s either that or some are carrying an awful big chip on their shoulder? Have fun in the Word, CDBJ |

A poll which only confuses the issue isn’t needed, i.e. human viewpoint. The main crux is, thus says the Word of the Lord. It is often found within the text of Holy writ what is known as a parenthetical phrase or clause. These are not necessary words or phrases as they don’t actually contribute to the truth conveyed by the main subject of the sentence. If we were talking about math, namely fractions, it would be the same as boiling everything down to its most common denominator for a single truth. The simplest fact of salvation is as follows. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved. The proof of this is found in actually by observance of the thief on the cross and Christ’s response to him. At the beginning he was in league with the other thief but then he had a change of mind as to the person of the Lord Jesus Christ as he called Him Lord or (KORIOS) in the Koine Greek of the Scripture. Luke 23:42-43 (NASB) 42 And he was saying, "Jesus, remember me when You come in Your kingdom!" 43 And He said to him, "Truly I say to you, today you shall be with Me in Paradise." (And he was saying,)as in the previous verse is broken down like this. It's in the indicative mood, imperfect tense, active voice of the verb (ELEGEN) from the root word (LEGO). The indicative mood means reality or certainty, the imperfect tense informs us of something we don’t find in the English translation, i.e. he literally kept on saying, Jesus remember me when You come in Your kingdom, Jesus remember me when You come in Your kingdom, Jesus remember me when You come in Your kingdom, The active voice means that the thief produced the action of the verb. The next question many might ask is this, when did the thief repent? This is, “one of,” the most misunderstood verbs in the Bible. Repent comes to us from the Koine Greek verb (METANOEO) it’s a compound word that means to have a change of thinking or a change of mind and it has absolutely nothing to do with being sorry for sin! God isn’t impressed with how we feel about sin all He considers is what His Son did for those sins. Nothing we can do will ever impress God; the only thing that He is impressed with is the work that Jesus Christ His unique Son finished on the cross for those sins!!! Anything anyone adds to “faith alone” in Jesus Christ “alone” and what He did on the cross is barking up the wrong tree and they better get their eyes off of themselves and get them fixed on the person of God’s Precious Son before it’s too late. God’s policy is strictly by GRACE through FAITH and that is in His Son and nothing at all from us, Jesus did it all, all to Him I owe. This is not open for discussions take it or leave it! I will not respond, CDBJ |

Welcome to the forum but I must ask the following. Due to the specific wording of your post, does either one of your two questions pertain to a homework assignment? First point under the rules of terms of use. The Forum is not intended to provide or be a source for answering test or homework questions of those that are students. Questions asked should be from a true desire to learn and not as an easy substitute for the learning process (3/8/11). Please inform, CDBJ |

Sorry to have rattled you: what I was trying to do was to present a paronomasia. I realize what Matt. 16:28 says, but for your position to be correct, what it actually said shows that your opinion of the Kingdom coming at Pentecost can’t be possible. All of the apostles with the exception of Judas were in the upper room on the day of Pentecost “not just some”, which is what was said by Christ when He pronounced the seeing of the Kingdom coming. I won’t trouble you any further and again I’m sorry for upsetting you, my mistake, CDBJ |

Greetings and welcome to the forum. The correct answer to your question isn’t actually expressed and this has been a hot topic for years. Just trying to determine the actual year is hard enough. Extra biblical efforts place it around 7 to 4, will say BC and it had to be fairly warm for the trip to be plausible so likely spring sometime but again no one knows. Sorry I couldn’t be of much help but I hope you enjoy the forum. CDBJ |

Greetings, If you are asserting that the Kingdom came on the day of Pentecost there would be a glitch in your thesis especially since you used Matt.16:28 Is this what Matt. 16:28 says? Matthew 16:28 28 Verily I say unto you, “all of you standing here”, shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom. i.e. they were all there for Pentecost, right? The answer is yes but that isn’t what Matt16:28 says now is it? Matthew 16:28 (KJV) 28 Verily I say unto you, There be “some” standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom. The word "some" is translated from the Koine Greek and it is the enclitic indefinite pronoun “TIS”. If it would have meant all, as you suggest, The adjective “PAS” would have been used. The Kingdom that was being referred to is when Christ returns in full visible Glory, Peter, James and John were given a ring side seat for the later coming attraction in Matt. 17;1-3 Matthew 17:1-3 (KJV) 1 And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart, 2 And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light. 3 And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him. When this finally takes place and the Kingdom comes God’s perfect will, will be done on Earth as it is in heavenand the enemies of Christ will be made His foot stool! Jesus won’t be seated at the right hand of the Father at this time. He will be on the move as displayed in Rev. 1:7. Revelation 1:7 (KJV) 7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen. I must say you certainly formulated a plausible concept though that took a lot of effort and thinking. CDBJ |

69 | "Lamp of the wicked" | OT general | CDBJ | 235774 | ||
Greetings and welcome to the forum. I’m thinking that you might be referring to Prov. 13:9 instead of Prov. 21:4? Proverbs 13:9 (KJV) 9 The light of the righteous rejoiceth: but the lamp of the wicked shall be put out. This, as I have been lead to understand, is a reference to ones life. It could be said in today’s vernacular that the plug was pulled. This is from (Bible Knowledge Commentary) 13:9. A light and a lamp, common metaphors (cf. 6:23; 20:20; 21:4; 24:20; Job 18:5-6; Ps. 119:105), refer here to physical life. If a lamp in a Near Eastern tent went out at night, the surroundings were pitch dark, mindful of the darkness of death. The righteous will have a long life, but the wicked will die early.

I know exactly what you mean but unless you can except what the Bible says with regards to that statement by Christ, which is answered in the next chapter it doesn't make any sense unless you have been deluded by the “false doctrine of preterism”. Jesus was refering to His transfigurition, which it explained in the next chapter in the first few verses. CDBJ |

73 | Are they still alive | Bible general Archive 4 | CDBJ | 235759 | ||
Then the answer is: yes they are still alive, it was Peter, James and John and yes they saw Christ in His glory and kingdom and yes they did "taste" of death, i.e. absent from the body and face to face with the Lord. No biblical verses to prove it at this point, since that isn't what you say you wanted, CDBJ |

74 | which cult dREW Christianity baPTISM | Bible general Archive 4 | CDBJ | 235749 | ||
Greetings and welcome to the forum. There are some who would contend that baptism was first practiced by the Egyptian cults and it was also practiced buy the Israelites of old but the actual facts are as follows. The word baptism is actually a transliteration from the word, “BAPTIZMA” and it was “first used” by Homer in his infamous Homeric Epics the Iliad and the Odyssey. The first use of baptism was depicted by a sword being plunged into a blood bath, this was a tempering process that hardened it and it gave it an association with the blood from that point on. We, being those that have put the entirety of their faith in the Son of God and the work that He finished on the cross, are "then" plunged into water. A ritual, like an oath, "to show" our eternal association with Jesus Christ our Saviour, God the Father and God the Holy Spirit from then on. It’s interesting to note that the Bible revels two types of baptism, one being wet, which is a ritual and the other one being dry, which is real. Matthew 3:11 (NKJV) 11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance, (i.e. a change of thinking about the person of Jesus the Christ) but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, (because He is the Lord God all Mighty) whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. (One and or the other as a believer or an unbeliever) I hope this helps and that you enjoy the forum, CDBJ |

The best translator of the Bible is the Bible it’s self. Matthew 16:28 (NKJV) 28 Assuredly, I say to you, there are some standing here who shall not taste death till they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom." Matthew 17:1-3 (NKJV) 1 Now after six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John his brother, led them up on a high mountain by themselves; 2 and He was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and His clothes became as white as the light. 3 And behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with Him. Suffice to say with the exact dates in question, that the original Word of God wasn’t divided into chapters and verses. The Bible was divided into present-day chapters by Stephen Langton about 1200 CE. Verses were separated and numbered by Robert Stephanus in 1557. What I am trying to say is, when Matt. 16:28 is connected with Matt. 17:1-3, i.e. no chapter brake, the situation makes sense. It tells who the individuals are and what they saw. Text taken out of context is usually for a pretext! CDBJ |

77 | Are they the same God | Bible general Archive 4 | CDBJ | 235739 | ||
Greetings, Just to set the record straight: God didn’t say what is written in “most” of our English translations of God’s Word. Exodus 20:13 (KJV) 13 Thou shalt not kill. The more exact translation for kill, in the English, is taken from the Hebrew word, “RASAH” and it should read as it is found in the NASB or New American Standard Bible. Exodus 20:13 (NASB) 13 "You shall not murder. Murder is used with reference to a civil code where as to kill is referring to the function of military forces in a time of war and believers are supposed to be the best at it while under God’s instruction. Psalm 144:1 (NASB) 1 Blessed be the LORD, my rock, Who trains my hands for war, And my fingers for battle; CDBJ |

When the Bible says that the wages of sin is death; what is it referring to since there are 7 different types of death mentioned in the Bible? Romans 6:23 (NKJV) (A) 23 For the wages of sin is death, When Jesus said it is finished in John 19:30 he wasn’t dead yet so it couldn’t have been His physical that paid the price for sin. John 19:30 (NKJV) 30 So when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, "It is finished!" And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit. The word finished in the English is translated from the Koine Greek verb “TELEO” and it is in the indicative mood which means it was “already a reality” at that point in time and the passive voice meaning He had received it so it wasn’t physical death that paid the price! The blood as referred in the OT is what’s known as a representative analogy: it foreshadowed what the Messiah would accomplish when He came into the world. It could only cover sin at that point in time until the Lamb of God would take it away. Again what death was it that paid the price for sin? If you suggest that it was physical death then when we die physically that would pay for our own sins and that won’t cut it! CDBJ |
