Hi Mack380 and welcome to the forum. What you are stating is something I have heard before but I think it falls under the codes of jurisprudence rather then a Bible verse. Have a great day, CDBJ |

703 | When were Cornelius and comapny saved? | 1 Pet 3:21 | CDBJ | 113715 | ||
Hello Rowdy, According to your definition for salvation you might not be saved yet; what if you are overlooking one of God’s commands, legally, by what you have said that might be the case? Maybe you are overlooking 17 of God’s commands by the way, how many are there, I have never heard the exact amount. Have you actually sold all of your positions yet and given the money to the poor? It sounds like you still trying to do something so you can have eternal life? Matthew 19:16 And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? It doesn’t look like you have sold everything yet because you are still on the Internet! Food for thought, don’t you think? It sounds like you sure are trying hard but how are you actually doing according to God’s standard, he does have a standard you know? Matthew 5:48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. You better forget the work mentioned in James until you get the gift. It sound like you are putting the cart before the horse, and you haven’t even got a horse yet. Titus 3:5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; With all your keeping and doing and trying where does grace fit into the picture or is grace no longer grace? 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. You are trying to do something to get the GIFT, and in that case it won’t be a gift; you are going to receive wages and the only wages we can receive is death. That doesn’t sound like good new to me, CDBJ |

704 | Can there be a doctine of atonement ? | Rom 5:11 | CDBJ | 113554 | ||
Hi Ken, The word atonement KAPHER in the Hebrew in its purest meaning of the word meant to cover. Sin that were atoned for were still there but they were covered until they could be completely taken away, as it were. Examine Luke 16:19-31 Luke 16:19-31 There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day: 20And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores, 21And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. 22And 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; 23And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. 24And 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. 25But 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. 26And 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. 27Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house: 28For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment. 29Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them. 30And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent. 31And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead. When Christ came on the scene he was going to be the perfect sacrifice that would actually take those sin away. John 1:29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. Those that had died before Christ had paid the perfect price only had their sins covered until such time as God would pay the perfect price, that He required, through the person of His Son Jesus, to completely remove those sins so that the ones in paradise could go into the presents of God forever. Ephes. 4:8-10 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, 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? 10He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.) Believers, since the sacrifice of Christ on the cross, go directly in the presence of God. 2 Cor. 5:8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. The wording, present with the Lord actually means face to face. ] Have a great day, CDBJ |

705 | Hank, all I need is just one quote. | John 3:5 | CDBJ | 113346 | ||
Hello arrow1, Here is another verse that shows that water baptism is what John 3:5 is referred to. Ephes. 5:26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, The word here must have meant baptism. We all know that this being the case we must all have baptism to bring about faith as the first thing before conversion. Romans 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Here the word really means baptism again? This next verse is talking about those that bring us to be baptized, I think, since that is the logical progression to being born of the Spirit? Romans 10:15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things! Here we have James mentioning baptism and how it is engrafted or implanted or impregnated to bring about berth from the Koine Greek word EMPHUTOS. James 1:21 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls. Did that all seem logical, I hope not? It’s by the grace of God through faith in His word that brings about being born of the Spirit. The water is the Word of God that brings us to the place of trusting in God’s Son, Jesus Christ. We are not supposed to be baptized until AFTER we believe, so water baptism cannot and does not precede being born of the Spirit. One can’t believe in Christ apart from the Word, but they sure can believe with out the use of H2O. Believing in Christ is the result of the action of God by the revealing to the lost about His precious Son through His precious Word and the unbeliever responding in faith to what God has told him. There is no difference between what we believe about Christ and what Abraham believed about Christ. Did you ever read about Abraham being baptized? Galatians 3:6 Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness. Maybe believed here meant baptism???????? Have a great day, CDBJ |

706 | Who is Elijah | Bible general Archive 2 | CDBJ | 113188 | ||
Greetings and welcome to the forum, Your question in Matthew 27 about Elias. Answer is from the Bible Knowledge Commentary: New Testament. Matthew 27:45-50 (Mark 15:33-37; Luke 23:44-46; John 19:28-30). Matthew made no reference to the time when the crucifixion began. But Mark indicated that it began at the “third hour” (Mark 15:25), around 9 A.M. Matthew noted specifically that from the sixth hour, noon, until the ninth hour, 3 P.M., darkness came over all the land. In this period of darkness Jesus became the Sin-offering for the world (John 1:29; Rom. 5:8; 2 Cor. 5:21; 1 Peter 2:24; 3:18) and as such was forsaken by the Father. Near the end of this period of time, Jesus could bear the separation no longer and cried out in a loud voice, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? These Aramaic words mean, My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me? (a quotation of Ps. 22:1) Jesus sensed a separation from the Father He had never known, for in becoming sin the Father had to turn judicially from His Son (Rom. 3:25-26). Some of those standing near the cross misunderstood Jesus’ words. They heard “Eloi,” but thought Jesus was trying to call for Elijah (Matt. 27:47). In Greek the word “Elijah” sounds more like “Eloi” than it does in English. Thinking His lips and throat had become dry, someone thought a drink of wine vinegar would moisten His vocal cords so He could speak plainly. Others, however, said to leave Jesus alone and see if Elijah would come and deliver Him. Their jeers were obviously still being directed against Jesus. Have a nice day, CDBJ |

I think the actual location is found in Matt.12:40 is you are looking for a location. Matthew 12:40 For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. CDBJ |

708 | What happen to people who died before | NT general Archive 1 | CDBJ | 112362 | ||
Hello Bslater and welcome to the forum, The Old Testament way of salvation is just the same as the New Testament. They believed in God’s Messiah and were looking forward to His coming when He would pay their price for sin. We believe in God’s Messiah and are looking back to when he came and paid the price for our sin. It’s only a matter of which way you are looking but it still all point to God’s Christ, Jesus. This is speaking of Abraham of the Old Testament who was a long time dead physically when this was spoken. John 8:52-56 At this the Jews exclaimed, "Now we know that you are demon-possessed! Abraham died and so did the prophets, yet you say that if anyone keeps your word, he will never taste death. 53Are you greater than our father Abraham? He died, and so did the prophets. Who do you think you are?" 54Jesus replied, "If I glorify myself, my glory means nothing. My Father, whom you claim as your God, is the one who glorifies me. 55Though you do not know him, I know him. If I said I did not, I would be a liar like you, but I do know him and keep his word. 56Your father Abraham rejoiced at the thought of seeing my day; he saw it and was glad." Have a great day, CDBJ |

709 | Meaning "dead faith" doesn't save? | James 2:24 | CDBJ | 112352 | ||
Hi tortois, I have posted this before and it might help clear up the verses in James. I believe the Lord taught me a good illustration with regards to faith and works one day when I had poison ivy. It seems strange but it gets the point across with the analogy. The illustration is that FAITH is to poison ivy, as WORKS are to scratching. Example, If you have true faith in Jesus Christ, it will manifest it's self outwardly. Just like the one who has poison ivy, they are going to scratch, they can't help themselves, it’s the nature of the dumb stuff. It’s the poison ivy working in one’s system. If you have poison ivy on you, you just can’t help it, you’re going to scratch; I’m speaking from experience! Now let say that a person DOESN"T have poison ivy, they could scratch till they look lobster red, yet all of that useless scratching isn’t going to give them poison ivy. They have to come in contact with the vine to get it. The vine in this illustration would be Jesus and faith in him. People can go through all the motions and do all the things that a true believer dose and make all of the proper noises but they are still not under the influence of the one who causes the works to come out of the believer in the first place; they are pseudo believers and there will come a day when the Lord will say unto them I never knew you. The verse that says faith with out works is dead functions because of the following. When one has true faith in Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit at the point of salvation indwells them. The works or the fruit is actually the functioning of the Holy Spirit working in the believer’s life. Have a great day, CDBJ |

710 | rest v. work | Philippians | CDBJ | 112300 | ||
The particular person that you suggest must be further along then the apostle Paul. Philip. 3:12-14 Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. 13Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, 14I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. It sounds to me like they are getting their salvation mixed up with rewards. Hebrews 4:1-6 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. 2For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it. 3For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world. 4For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works. 5And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest. 6Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief: The key words are in verse 4:2, the gospel mixed with faith. This is referring to salvation not rewards! Have a great day, CDBJ |

711 | What is the meaning of logike latreia? | Rom 12:1 | CDBJ | 112277 | ||
Greetings Toronto Student and welcome to the forum. Although I think your Koine Greek spelling is off a little, LOGIKOS LATERIA, which came to be translated, reasonable service in the KJV. LOGIKON from the root, adjective: accusative, feminine, singular of LOGINKEN, with the word spiritual probably coming closer. And LARERIA, or service is from the base of the noun: accusative, feminine, singular of LATREIAN and carries the meaning of worship. Romans 12:1 KJV I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. Romans 12:1 NIV Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God--this is your spiritual act of worship. Romans 12:1 NASB I urge you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship. The Key to this verse lies in the word therefore, which point back to something previous. Romans 11:33-36 NASB Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and unfathomable His ways! 34For WHO HAS KNOWN THE MIND OF THE LORD, OR WHO BECAME HIS COUNSELOR? 35Or WHO HAS FIRST GIVEN TO HIM THAT IT MIGHT BE PAID BACK TO HIM AGAIN? 36For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be the glory forever. Amen. I urge you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship. No chapter brakes in the original. God has paid the horrendous price to liberate us, by the death of His Son Jesus, so this is the least we could do. Have a great day, CDBJ |

712 | who was the fourth beast? | Bible general Archive 2 | CDBJ | 112171 | ||
This particular beast is the last of the evil beast dominions, as it were, and is known as the antichrist. Daniel 7:11 I beheld then because of the voice of the great words which the horn spake: I beheld even till the beast was slain, and his body destroyed, and given to the burning flame. The same thing is shown in Rev. Rev. 19:20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. Rev. 20:10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever. Jesus speaks of this one. Matthew 24:15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:) Paul also warns of the evil one that is to come. 2 Thes. 2:3-4 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 4Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. The word, antichrist, is introduced to us by John of whom there are many but the last one will be the super essence of evil in the world. Have a great day, CDBJ |

719 | Here is where I'm puzzled | Luke 8:15 | CDBJ | 111859 | ||
Greetings Huron, The Lord can bring a person to a point in their life, through circumstance and situation, where they give the Word of God a hearing. Everyone has a personal volition or will so the issue isn’t the heart, and weather it is receptive before of after they hear the Word, but weather the hearer responds by grace through faith, and believes the message. When one believes in Christ the receiving is automatic. 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: People must give the Word of God a hearing before they can believe it! Luke 11:28 But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it. Those that keep it have responded through faith! There are thousands of people who read the Bible it’s the number one seller every year, but they are missing the main ingredient. John 5:39-40 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. 40And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life. Jesus and the Word are synonymous. John 1:1-2 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2The same was in the beginning with God. John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. John 6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. Here is something that is awesome; the same message goes out to all, some are saved, others are lost and they both hear the same message. Hebrews 4:2 For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it. So you see it isn’t not a problem of the heart, but of the will and it is still by grace through faith. Ephes. 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: The gift is something that is given but we must want it and receive it. John 3:16 (A) For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son Those that receive, and or believe in the Son, Jesus, have eternal life because the Son Himself is eternal life. Everybody want to go to heaven and have eternal life but they don’t want to do it on God’s terms, which is in His Son Jesus. I 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. 11And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 12He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. 13These 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.
