721 | What is the heavenly calling? | Heb 3:1 | CDBJ | 111819 | ||
Hello Always4him, I think the answer to your question is found in the life of Paul who said the following before the verse you mentioned. Philip. 3:12 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. Romans 12:1-2 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. 2And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. Combine this with 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. Those verses are a good working equation to anyone's calling. God uses prepared people, CDBJ |

722 | Revelation 20 and 21 | NT general Archive 1 | CDBJ | 111801 | ||
That is about the same as some would say about the gospel. People wonder if there is more then one gospel. The Bible mentions the gospel, the gospel of the kingdom, the gospel of Christ, and the everlasting gospel; they are all one and the same. Galatians 1:8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. Have a great day, CDBJ |

724 | Acts 8, has real water baptism, why? | Mark 16:16 | CDBJ | 111185 | ||
It is water in the verse that you referred to, I didn’t say that it wasn’t; but where did it say water in MK 16:16, the verse in question? I think you are missing my point. I’m not an opponent of water baptism, by any stretch of the imagination. The day that I was baptized was a very joyful exciting time of obedience for me, and it followed my faith and trust in Jesus which brought salvation. Water baptism was the second time that I was baptized after my being baptized by the Holy Spirit whom sealed my salvation in the first place immediately after I believed in Jesus as the Son of God who redeemed me. Ephes. 1:13 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 Holy Spirit himself was the seal. CDBJ |

725 | Isn't baptism needed for salvation? | Mark 16:16 | CDBJ | 111124 | ||
This has been discussed many times on this forum but for sake of conversation, since you are new, I will present my comments and belief. Mark 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. The “baptized” in this verse is an automatic function of the work of the Holy Spirit upon the one who has believed in the work of Jesus Christ. Ephes. 1:12-13 That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ. 13In 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, Notice in the following verse, John is speaking to believers as well as unbelievers and he tells the crowed that Christ is going to baptize them all, by one means or another. If the receive the one you won’t receive the other. Both of these baptisms are dry, no water involved like John’s, and they are both real and not a ritual. John was actually showing the difference between the ritual and the reality. All believers receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit at the point of trusting in the finish work of Jesus Christ. All “unbelievers” will receive a baptism of fire. Matthew 3:11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire: Rev. 20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. 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. 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. Notice no mention of water baptism here because the action is all carried out by function of God at the point of believing in Jesus. Anything that we try to do to improve on God’s perfect plan of salvation for mankind only muddies up the water. God is perfect and His plan is perfect and that plan resides in the person of God's Son! Jesus is enough anything outside of of faith in Christ is works and not total faith in Christ, what ever the human function might be! Have a great day, CDBJ |

726 | knowing forgiveness to others | Matt 6:12 | CDBJ | 110911 | ||
It sounds to me like you are having a hard time believing what God has told you in I 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 isn’t forgiving you on the basis of how you feel about it. He is forgiving you because of what His Son Jesus did for those sins, how you feel is inconsequential! You are having a guilt trip about sins that God has forgiven and as a result you are chain sinning. Now you better confess the guilt trip and get on with business and believe what God has said and quit trusting your feelings! If you have gone to those that you have offended and they refuse to make amends then they are the ones in trouble with the Lord, not you. Take it to the court of heaven, in prayer, and turn the problem over to the Lord and forget it. But what ever you do don’t take the problem back from Him, I guarantee you He can handle the situation far better then you can! Have a great day, CDBJ |

727 | How "mature" in Christ are we today? | 1 Cor 3:1 | CDBJ | 110813 | ||
The love that is being spoken of in I Cor 13 isn’t just something that we just crank out, it is actually the by product of one who has the Spirit of God and is being controlled by Him. It is the overall fruit of the Spirit that will emanate from the one in Christ that is being controlled by Him at any one point in time. Galatians 5:22-26 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. 24And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. 25If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. 26Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another. Did you notice that the word fruit is in the singular, meaning one and that is Love; the rest of those things, that are mentioned, are the result of the love! Verses 25 and 26 exhibit that fact that the believer can actually live under two standards but only one is in control at any one time, it is an absolute, that is to say it can’t be 75/25, it has to be 100 percent of one or the other. Either filled with the Spirit or controlled by your old sin nature; it can’t be a little of each at any particular moment in a believers life. The reason for that is because all believers in Christ contain two natures, the old sin nature and the new nature, which is after Christ. At any one point in time we are choosing whom we want controlling us as believers and this is done by our wills. If we give way to the dictates of the OSN and sin, God is grieved or quenched and He is not controlling us, as it were, but our OSN is dictating the actions of our lives and we can’t demonstrate the AGAPE type love, which is the fruit of the Spirit. The only way to get the Holy Spirit back in control is the function of, 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. The exercise of I John 1:9 puts God back in control until the next time that we give way to our old nature again but just remember the following. Hebrews 13:5 (B) I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. This condition, never leave, nor forsake, exist even when we are under the function of our OSN the problem is that we just aren't filled or controlled by the Holy Spirit. Anything that a believer does outside of the filling of the Spirit won’t count no matter how good it might appear to be on the surface because it is directly coming from the function of the OSN John 15:5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. The abideth mentioned in the past verse is the same as being filled with the Spirit and being under God’s control. The safest thing to do is for one to get their eyes off of people and focus on the person of Christ Jesus and that way they will never be deceived! 2 Cor. 5:7 (For we walk by faith, not by sight:) This is the way I see it, CDBJ |

728 | name Jehovah | NT general Archive 1 | CDBJ | 110805 | ||
Hello kstewa, It was probably edited out for the same reason that we don’t find the following any more: Yeshua HaMashiach and Adonai Eloheinu, Adonai Echad. It’s the thought that counts and languages change. By the same token why do we use the word God now instead of 'elohiym? God the Father knows who we are referring to no mater what language we speak and the fact still holds true in any language. John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. Ephes. 4:21 If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus: Have a nice day, CDBJ |

729 | Where did evil come from? | 1 John 5:19 | CDBJ | 110779 | ||
Hello wordsmith1970, Here is something in addition to what Makarios presented that sheds some light on the originator of lies, which is a sin. John 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. Rev. 2:2 I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars: I think that sin is within the overall realm of evil, as it were and satan is the father.

Hi Huron, I think your conclusion is correct. You might want to check out the following in it entirety. http://www.bible.org/docs/splife/evang/assaults.htm Common Assaults on the Gospel by J.

I think that a lot of churches should get away from the dog and pony show stuff and stick to the script. 2 Tim. 4:2 KJV Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. 2 Tim. 4:2 Be ready to spread the word whether or not the time is right. Point out errors, warn people, and encourage them. Be very patient when you teach. If you teach it they will come. Believers need to be taught Bible doctrine on a consistent basis, and not just the doctrine of Soteriology. It’s a shame that all believers that are five years or older, in the Lord don’t have a clue about what the following mean! Theology, Angelology, Anthropology, Bibliology, Dispensational Theology, Christology, Ecclesiology, Eschatology, Hamartiology, Pneumatology, Satanology/Demonology, Theology. Generally speaking Heb. 1:3-6 isn’t even being taught! Hebrews 6:1-3 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, 2Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. 3And this will we do, if God permit. I think that the church is the place where the believers should be built up so that they can actually reach the lost; then when the lost are saved they can be directed to a church for the deeper study of God’s Word. Ephes. 4:11-12 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 12For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: It’s not the job of the pastor to reach the lost, it the job of the saints. It’s the job of the pastor to train the saints and build them up and as a result there will be a chain reaction and the church will grow. I need a pastor that can dig from God’s word and reveal things from the Bible that I can’t find on my own! Not very popular is it? CDBJ |

The best advice I could give in a situation like this is the following. Proverbs 3:6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. 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. The Lord knows your situation and He can give you the answer but remember the only one that you can change is yourself. Have a great day, CDBJ |

735 | When jesus comes do lost people stay. | NT general Archive 1 | CDBJ | 110033 | ||
Greetings tkosborne, and welcome to the forum. Your question stated, “my question is about the end of the world(rapture)” It sounds like your question is derived from Matt. 24:3 from the KJV Matthew 24:3 KJV And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? The translation, in the English,the word world as in the KJV, which is my favorite, is at best a little misleading. The word “world” comes to us from the Koine Greek word AION pronounced ahee-ohn, and is better described as age or period. Matthew 24:3 NIV As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately. "Tell us," they said, "when will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?" The header to your question, 1 When Jesus comes do lost people stay. The lost will be in the same predicament that they were in right after Noah entered into the ark and the door was shut. The result will be the same as for those that remained in Sodom right after Lot left! The Lord will pour out His wrath and righteous indignation on those that are left that have given believers such a hard time and have not believed the gospel message, but it won’t be with the cooling effect of water this time! 2 Thes. 1:7-10 And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, 8In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: 9Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power; 10When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day. I think that pretty well says what will happen to those left behind and when it will happen. I personally think that Scripture infers that those left behind will be to busy trying to eliminate being fried then spending their last few moments worry about where all the believers went just a few minutes before! Have a nice day, CDBJ |

Well, I can only speak for myself when I say that my light is the Lord Jesus Christ and God’s Word. I am not sure what others are trying to let shine forth or how many souls they are pointing to Christ? Lets see now, what book of the Bible was it, where Christ set the example by leading that peaceful demonstration march against the Roman oppression that was taking place at that time, my recollection is getting bad; when I think of it I’ll let you know?

Tithing was an Old Testament function and it was for the Jews. Tithing isn’t mentioned in the New Testament. 2 Cor. 9:7 Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. Have a great day, CDBJ |

739 | Noah Being Divinely Warned | Bible general Archive 2 | CDBJ | 109450 | ||
Hi Bradk, My opinion is that it was a general statement that was directed to Noah but the fact that it said man makes it all-inclusive. We are finding the same thing happening today. The SAME DAY that Noah and his family entered that ark of safety God clobbered those that were left behind! Genesis 7:11 In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the SAME DAY were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened. I am sure that the Lord gave all of them ample warning just as he dose today about the impending wrath that is to come but they, the arrogant, didn’t give heed then just as they don’t today. 2 Peter 3:3-6 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, 4And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. 5For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: 6Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: Notice, THEY and THEM, with reference to the unbelievers as pointed out in I Thess. 1 Thes. 5:1-4 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. 2For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. 3For when THEY shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon THEM, as travail upon a woman with child; and THEY shall not escape. 4But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. In conclusion I don’t believe that they heeded the message then anymore then THEY, unbelievers, do today. Noah wasn’t in darkness then any more then believers are in darkness now. Luke 17:26-29 And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. 27THEY did eat, they drank, they married wives, THEY were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed THEM all. 28Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; THEY did eat, THEY drank, THEY bought, THEY sold, THEY planted, THEY builded; 29But the SAME DAY that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed THEM all. I wonder what happened to those that were LEFT BEHIND? No second chance mentioned; if people put off trusting in Christ too long, some day, it will be too late! Ephes. 5:6 Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. There are a lot of people being deceived into thinking that if they are left behind that THEY will get another chance to be saved. Have a great day, CDBJ |

740 | if i don't speak in tounges am I saved | 1 Cor 14:22 | CDBJ | 108599 | ||
Hello 8788, What makes you think you are saved? Is it just because it says so in Scripture, and you believe what God has said about His Son, Jesus? If your answer is yes, then you are saved and indwelt by the Spirit all at the same time; because God’s Word says so! It is not a matter of how you feel or the way you act, but what saith the Word of God. Some days when I wake up I feel about as spiritual as a carrot, but according to God’s Word I am still saved and still indwelt by the Holy Spirit! It’s not how I feel but what I know and the promises that God has given me! Ephes. 1:12-13 That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ. 13In 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 Holy Spirit himself is the sealing, John 14:16-18 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; 17Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. 18I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. Have a great day, by knowing truth, CDBJ |
