741 | Speaking in Parables | Luke 8:10 | CDBJ | 212156 | ||
Greetings and welcome to the forum. John 10:24-28 The Jews therefore gathered around Him, and were saying to Him, "How long will You keep us in suspense? If You are the Christ, tell us plainly." 25Jesus answered them, "I told you, and you do not believe; the works that I do in My Father's name, these bear witness of Me. 26"But you do not believe, because you are not of My sheep. 27"My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me; 28and I give eternal life to them, and they shall never perish; and no one shall snatch them out of My hand. I hope you enjoy the forum, CDBJ |

742 | 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. Have a great day, CDBJ |

743 | Word or word? | Luke 8:15 | CDBJ | 111870 | ||

744 | important natural need or possessions | Luke 12:23 | CDBJ | 199228 | ||
By listing or categorizing as a needs, I would surmise that our unnatural need for salvations should, with out a doubt first and foremost in our lives; everything apart from that is a ruse. Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. CDBJ |

745 | Are we bringers of peace or division? | Luke 12:51 | CDBJ | 36041 | ||
Hi Joe, the answer to your question, are we bringers of peace or division, the answer is an unequivocal yes. The verses in Scripture as well as your question, is a paronomasia, to say the least; they are both right and yet both wrong. It is all a matter of perspective and that depends on which side the recipients are on; the closest that I think I could come would be a comparison of Matthew 5:9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. And the verse that describes the way that the gospel works and the administration of the same Matthew 16:19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. The gospel message is either peace or division, it all depends on what the hearer does with it; if it is accepted and believed on, it brings peace: if it is rejected it is a division not only between the speaker and the hearer but a division between the hearer and God Himself. One can be at peace with God or God's wrath is on him. There is no shade of gray here, either you is or you aint! Did I say that right? My point of view, good question, CDBJ |

746 | Where are they taken? | Luke 17:34 | CDBJ | 44984 | ||
Hello Kalos, I was reading an article the other day by Marvin Rosenthal that talked about Luke 17:37 Luke 17:37 "Where, Lord?" they asked. He replied, "Where there is a dead body, there the vultures will gather." Marvin said that this is what is known as a Hebraism and being a master of his history I thought that there would be some long explanation. Here it is just an expression that the Jews use to mean the following. Where there is immoral living, Devine judgment will follow. I have seen people trying to explain this verse by paragraph after paragraph and as it turns out it is only an expression, how about that. If you want to know something Jewish, ask a Jew; a born again Jew that is! CDBJ |

747 | what is meant by Jesus reply to Luke 17 | Luke 17:34 | CDBJ | 209244 | ||
Greetings, GITS and welcome to the forum. The answer that was given by Jesus in LK 17:37 is what’s know as a Hebraism, i.e. and old Hebrew saying as it were. It actually means that, “Where justice is needed justice will be metered out.” In this case to follow in swift chronological order the wrath of God will be quick in coming upon those left. 2 Thes. 1:6-10 Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you; 7And 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 hope you enjoy the forum, CDBJ |

Hi Kalos, The verse that speaks of the Eagles, Luke 17:37 And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together. The verse is nothing more then Hebrew Idiom and all it means is the following. Where ever people are, there justice will be handed out. Have a great day, CDBJ |

Hi Rebecca and welcome to the forum. You might be thinking of the following, Rev. 13:7-8 (KJV) And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. 8And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

751 | is this part of the great commission? | Luke 23:42 | CDBJ | 52399 | ||
The great commission is a term that is used to explain what Christ wants believers to do, i.e. believers are given a commission to do something. Common logic would tells me that Luke 23:43 could not be part of the great commission seeing that it was spoken to only one person whose time in this life was about to end and besides all that the one hanging on the cross couldn't do anything while he was still on the cross, he can't even change his physical position. Only by the proper mental attitude thinking was he able to change his future eternal position, i.e. he placed himself in Christ by believing in Jesus as the Christ, thus guaranteeing where he will spend eternity: This is the message that we should convey to the world as a part of the great commission but that is the only connection that I can see. | ||||||
752 | once sasved always saved? | Luke 23:43 | CDBJ | 238205 | ||
Greetings and welcome to the forum. In regards to your question, let’s go at it from a different tack. If I am saved, and I am, by grace through faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ who died on the cross to pay the penalty for ALL my sins. This being said, it would be the optimum of arrogance and close to blaspheme for me to assume that I could possibly commit a sin that God didn’t know about when He saved me in the first place! I even shudder to think of being so suggestive. Now on top of that even to suggest such a condition could happen, but it can’t, it would bar me from ever being saved a second time due to the following. The following (Amplified Translation) is used here because it spells it out the way is should be translated in common everyday English. Hebrews 6:1-6 (AMP) (Emphases added) 1 THEREFORE LET us go on and get past the elementary stage in the teachings and doctrine of Christ (the Messiah), advancing steadily toward the completeness and perfection that belong to spiritual maturity. Let us not again be laying the foundation of repentance and abandonment of dead works (dead formalism) and of the faith [by which you turned] to God, 2 With teachings about purifying, the laying on of hands, the resurrection from the dead, and eternal judgment and punishment. [These are all matters of which you should have been fully aware long, long ago.] 3 If indeed God permits, we will [now] proceed [to advanced teaching]. 4 For it is impossible---------------[to restore and bring again to repentance] those who have been once for all enlightened, who have consciously tasted the heavenly gift and have become sharers of the Holy Spirit, 5 And have felt how good the Word of God is and the mighty powers of the age and world to come, 6 If they then deviate from the faith and turn away from their allegiance—-----[it is impossible]----- to bring them back to repentance, for (because, while, as long as) they nail upon the cross the Son of God afresh [as far as they are concerned] and are holding [Him] up to contempt and shame and public disgrace. Those that don’t have this assurance of ETERNAL SALVATION fixed in their souls are confined to a stage of what the Koine Greek calls “NEPOS” pronounced “nay-pee-os” or babes in Christ. 1st Cor. 3:1-3 God doesn’t need to do things twice because He might have forgotten something that we might do in the future, He does it right the first time! Now have a great day in the Lord and relax in what He has done for you, CDBJ |

753 | Why is there a difference in accounts? | Luke 23:45 | CDBJ | 170946 | ||
When Jesus was on the cross two deaths actually took place. Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; The word death in the original language, (THANATOS), means separation from God The wages of sin is death this is actually a spiritual death as mentioned in Romans 6:23 this is referring to spiritual death or separation for God Mark 15:34 And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? (Death for Sin) Jesus took all our sins on his body, he was made sin for us and God rejected him. That’s death #1one. When he voluntarily demised his spirit his job on earth was finished death #2 was done. Death 2 And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? Jesus died twice on the cross once for the sins of the world and once when he voluntarily gave up his physical life because his job on earth was done. John 19:30 When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, (he said, It is finished:) death one (and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.) Death CDBJ |

754 | When did the curtain rip? | Luke 23:45 | CDBJ | 170991 | ||
Greetings, I believe that the first death, for our sins, took place when Jesus said the following. Matthew 27:46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? Isaiah 53:4-5 along with Psalm. 22:1 were only prophesies of the actual situation when Messiah would pay the ultimate price. Considering that the Bible doesn’t contradict itself, I would concur with the answer that Tim Moran responded with as to the exact time that the veil was split. Post #170953. I think an interesting observation would be that approximate thickness of the veil that separated the innermost parts of the temple! I’ve "heard" that it was nearly 2” thick. Does anyone have any knowledge on this? CDBJ |

755 | First in a tomb - important? | Luke 23:53 | CDBJ | 78978 | ||
I have heard that it was the custom of the Jews when a tomb was hewn out of the rock that the body would only resided in the tomb until it would decompose. The bones were then removed to a final resting place under ground and another corps would be placed in the above ground tomb and the process would start over. I don't know how true it is but I can understand why they would do it that way in that area. | ||||||
756 | Can one accept Christ but not the Bible? | Luke 24:27 | CDBJ | 86819 | ||
Greetings Radioman2, I would have a real hard time believing that a person is really saved if they don’t believe God’s Word, the Bible! I have a hard time understanding that a person is truly saved and they continue to practice in some denominations, it just doesn’t make sense. God has a protocol plan of salvation and it is centered on His Word. John 1:1-5 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. 3All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 5And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. Ephes. 1:8-13 Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence; 9Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself: 10That 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: 11In 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: 12That 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, Psalm 138:2 I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name. 2 Tim. 3:16-17 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works. Romans 3:1-4 What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit is there of circumcision? 2Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God. 3For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect? 4God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged. This could go on in all sixty-six books of the Bible from Gen. 1:1 to Rev. 22:21!! Have a great day in the Word, CDBJ |

757 | Is the wedding feast symbloic or literal | John | CDBJ | 40323 | ||
In my estimation I think one shouldn't try to allegorize everything in Scripture. John pretty much covers the signs and miracles that Jesus did and the reason behind them. John 20:30-31 And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book: 31But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name. |

758 | what can I do to recieve salvation | John | CDBJ | 113777 | ||
Hi Mellow, The best answer that I could ever give anyone that want salvation and would like God to hand walk them through it, is to read the gospel of John, the forth book in the New Testament. Pray before you read it and ask God to show you the key figure that is contained within its pages. The whole purpose for writing the book of John was to reveal exactly what you are asking. John 20:30-31 And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book: 31But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.

759 | How could God send anyone to hell ? | John | CDBJ | 141454 | ||
Hi mil and welcome to the forum, Here is a hypothetical question that you can ask your son. If someone is swimming in the middle of the ocean, because their boat just sank, and a luxury liners comes by and offers them a ride, and the person absolutely refuses their services; who’s fault is it when the persons drowns? That’s pretty obvious don’t you think? The reason that all the religions of the world are off base is because they can’t pay the price that God demands for sin; separation from Him! The Bible says, and the “all” covers everyone of us. Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; We “all” inherited a nasty trait from our great grandpa Adam, Sin! 1 Cor. 15:22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. Everybody knows what wages are; that’s what we have earned! Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. A gift is something that can’t be earned or it wouldn’t be a gift! God set the price for sin and condemned us all, and then came down to earth, in the body of Jesus, and paid the very price for sin that He demanded. That’s why everyone has to come to God through the person of Jesus, God’s perfect sacrifice for sin! 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. That’s why Jesus said what He did in, 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. God only had to do this one time, it’s a take it or leave it situation for us! Any one that doesn’t want to accept what God did for them, in the person of Christ, in essence is saying that what they can personally do, is better then what God did, and that doesn’t go over too well with The God made everything! When ever anyone stands before God in judgment, guess who it is that they are standing in front of? John 5:22-25 For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son: [23] That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him. [24] Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. [25] Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live. As the saying goes, “Dead and don’t know it”, that’s all of us, until we trust in Jesus and what he did for us; and that includes everyone on this big ball that we are walking on, even your son’s Buddhists friend. These aren’t my ideas, this is what God’s Word says. 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. Have a great day, CDBJ |

Hello Dayofori and welcome to the forum, We generally just answer biblical questions on the forum. There are billions of people in this world and to know what and how they relate to the Bible isn’t the object. How do you personally relate to the person of Jesus the Christ, with regards to the next verse, and what is your understanding of the word “believe” as it is used? 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: Have a great day, CDBJ |
