Hi Sam, I am very interested in the last part of your Post where you say, "I am a new Christian". Could you share with us how you became a new Christian? Have a great day, CDBJ |

782 | believer or disciple | John 8:47 | CDBJ | 137941 | ||
Greetings, What are the conditions for being a believer? What are the conditions for being a disciple? Are they the same? I don’t think so!!!! Have a nice day, CDBJ |

783 | How to teach people to hear God's voice? | John 10:4 | CDBJ | 137345 | ||
Greetings Bodie, 1 John 5:10 (A) He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: John 6:45 It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me. People that are taught of God don't have to be convinced, they know! To say other wise whould be like explaining the color red to one who has been blind all of their life! Have a great day, CDBJ |

784 | What about Spiritual Parenting? | John 10:4 | CDBJ | 137438 | ||
Isn’t it great that today we have the revealed Word of God in writing, the Bible! 2 Tim. 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 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. Psalm 119:160 (ASV) Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever. Some of the people that claim that they actually hear God speaking in an audible voice might want to consider a compentant Doctor before something bad happens to them! Have a great day, CDBJ |

785 | Is there judgement or not? | John 12:47 | CDBJ | 33658 | ||
If one wants to be thoroughly confused compare John 12:47 with John 5:22. John 12:47 And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. John 5:22 For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son: To try to understand anything of God's Word apart from the Holy Spirit teaching those that are born again, it is utterly impossible; that it why those that are not of God's family say that the Bible is so full of counter dictions. Jesus in so inner twined with the Bible that one cannot differentiate between Jesus and the Word of God because that is who He is. 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. John 12:50 And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak. John 12:50, speaking of Jesus could go on further to say, and so (I Am). I hope that I didn't confuse you more! |

786 | You are saying that our command to...? | John 13:34 | CDBJ | 128208 | ||
Well I will say one thing for you; you sure know how to twist around what some one says!!! You are stepping over the line with your last post! Edb said that the things John Lennon learned were junk and you try to make it sound like he said that the Lord’s command to love is junk. That’s going a little far don’t you think? CDBJ |

787 | Jesus as the way to Heaven | John 14:1 | CDBJ | 107356 | ||
For starters, it has to be the Lord that reveals this truth to anyone. My suggestion would be to direct them into the gospel of John and have them read it for themselves, but before they read it, tell them to pray and ask God to reveal the truth that is contained there; that is why the book of John was written. 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. Acts 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. 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. Have a great day, CDBJ |

788 | Is this heaven or the family? | John 14:2 | CDBJ | 61826 | ||
Hello Aspilos, As for heaven I don’t think it is any more or any less then the abode of God or God’s realm of concentrated existence. The location where Jesus is seated on a throne next to the Father’s right side; or the nucleus of God’s domain. |

789 | Whom should I direct my love and praise | John 14:5 | CDBJ | 47032 | ||
Hi lil girl 4 Christ, and welcome to the forum. The answer to your question, the way I see it is as follows. We are to pray to the Father through the power of the Holy Spirit and in the name of Jesus. The only confusing part might be in the power of the Spirit. I am going to make it easy by saying that there shouldn't be any unconfessed sin in your life. i.e. use l John 1:9 before trying pray to the Father; that will put you in fellowship and in the power of the Spirit.

790 | Sufism | John 14:6 | CDBJ | 176041 | ||
Greetings Ocelot, Someone that makes a statement like your friend did doesn’t even have a clue what a real Christian is. 1 John 5:10-12 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. If a person already has eternal life in Christ, why would they even admit to the other junk? That’s like having stake and eggs for breakfast and telling someone that besides the stake and eggs they have an order of toast smothered with a layer of house flies mixed with bird droppings and dog barf. I just made myself sick, CDBJ |

792 | True Christians break commandments? | John 15:10 | CDBJ | 72829 | ||
Greetings Data, I have read your post and it sounds like you are under a lot of emotional strain with your decisions! For starters we aren’t saved because we keep the Ten Commandments, we are saved because Jesus died for us and we trust in what he did. God said that if we will believe in his Son that he will save us. The word believe in the New Testament comes to us from the word PISTEUO and is doesn’t mean to feel a certain way or give mental assent to, it meant to rest in the fact, rely upon, trust in and adhere to the person of Jesus Christ. The way we feel has nothing to do with our salvation, it’s what God says and our believing it. You don’t even have to understand it all the way just trust Him that it is fact. I don’t under stand how a TV works but that doesn’t stop me from using it. Every time I push certain things it works for me because someone smarter then me designed it that way. God has designed our salvation to be centered on the person of his Son and he wants us to put all of our eggs in one basket and leave it up to Jesus. God says that when we do this he will give us eternal life as a gift: believe it because God says it! Now down to the sin problem and how we are forgiven. I will probably catch a lot of flack from some of the clan but I am going to tell you what God’s word says. 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. Read this verse through several times and then point out to me where it says to ask for forgiveness. To begin with, if you want to be obedient and do exactly what God says why would you ask him to do something that he already says that he will do? The truth contained in this verse is in the word confess. You don’t ask for something, you lay claim to the fact of something. Confess in the original language of the Koine Greek was the word HOMOLOGEO. It was used as in a courtroom when a specific situation was stated. God wants us to own up to what we did and not hid it but tell him straight out! When we do this he says he will do something in return. He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. He is faithful, that means he will do it every time. Your forgiveness is dependent on the work of Christ and what he did for that sin, not on how you feel about it. God is only impressed with what his Son did for sin, not some pitiful way that we feel. There are so many thing in our lives that we don’t take into consideration but to God they are still wrong. He says that if we confess the known sin he will even take care of the unknown. 1 John 1:9 B and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. There are none of us that are perfect but we have a perfect God. The fact that you sinned in a point of weakness doesn’t mean that you should compound your sin by getting rid of your opposite number! God knew in eternity past that you were going to do what you did and he still saved you, if you are trusting in Jesus. The fact that you are having a guilt trip over what you did means that you are chain sinning. You need to trust in I John 1:9 and get on with your life. If you are still alive God has a plain for you but you can’t get over the thing that shocks you. It didn’t shock God when you married so tell him and praise him for his Son and lets get on with life. If you a child of his and he wants to take you to the woodshed for getting out of line he will but just remember it is Jesus that pays for sins even those of a guilt complex. 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 nice day, CDBJ |

793 | helping a friend | John 16:8 | CDBJ | 206652 | ||
Greetings and welcome to the forum. Just because your friend doesn’t chose to jump through some preachers psychological hoop doesn’t mean he isn’t saved. Check out why the gospel of john was written: John 20:30-31 And truly Jesus did many other signs in the presence of His disciples, which are not written in this book; 31but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name. What does your friend think about the person of Jesus? Who is He and what did He do for your friend? Peter in all likely hood didn’t know he was saved until Jesus told him he was blessed; and why he was he blessed? Matthew 16:13 When Jesus came into the region of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His disciples, saying, "Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?" Matthew 16:16-17 Simon Peter answered and said, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God." 17Jesus answered and said to him, "Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven. Since Jesus died on the cross and paid the price for man’s sin sin isn’t the issue now the issue is what does your friend think about the person of Jesus God’s Son? The only sin that will condemn a person now is rejecting God’s Son! John 16:7-9 Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you. 8And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: 9of sin, because they do not believe in Me; 9OF SIN BECAUSE THEY DO NOT BELIEVE IN ME; To believe in Jesus comes from the Koine Greek word PISTEUON, and it means to have a complete total undivided trust in the person of Jesus, the appointed one of God, and what He did on the cross for us. Couple that with the following and the picture becomes even clearer. 1 John 5:10-13 He who believes in the Son of God has the witness in himself; he who does not believe God has made Him a liar, because he has not believed the testimony that God has given of His Son. 11And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. 12He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. 13These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God. There are scads of people that think they are saved just because they went forward in some service and prayed a certain prayer, that they were ask to pray, but if they aren’t fully trusting in God’s Son Jesus they are just as lost as they were before they went forward! Have your friend read the book of John but tell him to first ask God to reveal the truth that is within it’s pages about Jesus. If he really wants to know the truth God will show him truth. John 14:6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. John 3:36 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." I hope you enjoy the forum, CDBJ |

794 | Could satan be saved? | John 16:11 | CDBJ | 39760 | ||
No,Satan, along with all of his angel followers, has already been judged; they are only waiting the execution, which has been postponed for a while. John 16:11 NIV and in regard to judgment, because the prince of this world now stands condemned. Matthew 25:41 NIV "Then he will say to those on his left, 'Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. |

795 | What does Ephesians 2:6-7 mean? | John 17:24 | CDBJ | 17850 | ||
Bobbie Faye I would like to share one of the first poems that I wrote that speaks of some of the glory we will have in Jesus our Lord. CDBJ For Believers Only I John 3:2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. John 17:22 And the glory which thou gayest me I have given them, that they may be one, even as we are one: KJV We will shine as light, oh so bright, bright shinning as the stars, Because of what our savior did, this glory will be ours. With magnitude and splendor, from radiant beams so bright, We will share in Christ great glory, of omnipotent rays of light. When transformed into His presence, and earthly things have passed, We will behold Him in His glory, and be like Him at last. With resplendence all about us, and shadow-less attire, We will see our God of ages, an all-consuming fire. Look up look up yea saints then, with an ever-watchful eye. Our precious Lord will come, in lightning flashing sky. From clouds we will be gathered, by angels on command. The next order on their venue, destroy this wicked land . To immortals comes the privilege, with our voices we will sing. Oh grave, where is thy victory; Oh death, where is thy sting? |

796 | Where is 'Be in the world not of the wor | John 18:36 | CDBJ | 209910 | ||
Greetings, You might be looking for the following. John 17:15-18 I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. 16They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. 17Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. 18As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world. 1 John 2:15-17 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 17And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

797 | Why did Jesus fold His burial napkin? | John 20:7 | CDBJ | 214157 | ||
The napkin and the way it was “folded” The truth is Jesus didn't fold the napkin, he actually went through it. John 20:7 KJV And the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself. Notice the difference between the KJV and the NASB versions. John 20:7 NASB and the face-cloth, which had been on His head, not lying with the linen wrappings, but rolled up in a place by itself. The Koine Greek word for “wrapped” is the word entulisso, Greek 1794, Strong’s entulisso, en-too-lis'-so; from Greek 1722 (en) and tulisso (to twist; probably akin to Greek 1507 (heilisso)); to entwine, i.e. wind up in wrap in (together). It was the burial custom to use a heaver cloth, or napkin material, to wrap the head of the one that was buried. It was much thicker and approximately 3” wide by our standard and held quite a bit more of the past mixture that was used to cover the wrappings of the one that died. When John got to the tomb, he was the first one there but he didn't look very well. The word BLEPO is used for look, it's where we get the word blip like on a radar screen, i.e. a quick look. John 20:6 Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie, The word "seeth" in the Greek is, theoreo, Greek 2334, Strong’s theoreo, theh-o-reh'-o; from a derivative of Greek 2300 (theaomai) (perhaps by addition of Greek 3708 (horao)); to be a spectator of, i.e. discern, (literal, figurative [experience] or intensive [acknowledge]) behold, consider, look on, perceive, see. Compare Greek 3700 (optanomai). Peter was giving it the "CSI look for any clues" and he spotted the wrappings still rolled up in a ball. It's not recorded in scripture but he likely yelled out, "HA JOHN" come in here and look at this! The wrappings of napkin as it was called was still rolled in a ball the shape of Christ head and had likely rolled off of the flat stone that held the body of Jesus and the body wrap still laying flat due to lack of support, i.e. no body in it. There was no way that Jesus could have come out of those crisscrossed wrapping without tearing them apart but sure enough they were still intact with the small opening that was the location of Christ neck. It would be like you covering a balloon with paper dipped in plaster of Paris and covering all but a six inch diameter at the bottom then when it all dried popping the balloon with a pin. Jesus didn’t unwrap the grave clothes or napkin he actually went through them without disturbing them, faster then the twinkling of an eye. The result of the crisscrossed napkin being still wrapped as it had been when place on the head of Jesus brought about the firm belief of the resurrection to the disciples with utter shock. John 20:8-9 So the other disciple who had first come to the tomb entered then also, and he saw and believed. 9For as yet they did not understand the Scripture, that He must rise again from the dead. The word now used for “saw” means with full understanding from the Greek word, eido, Greek 1492, Strong’s eido, i'-do; a primary verb; used only in certain past tenses, the others being borrowed from the equivalent Greek 3700 (optanomai) and Greek 3708 (horao); properly to see (literal or figurative); by implication (in the perf. only) to know be aware, behold, can ( not tell), consider, (have) know (ledge), look (on), perceive, see, be sure, tell, understand, wish, wot. Compare Greek 3700 (optanomai). They sure believed when they saw the round ball still wrapped together with no head in it! They already believed in Christ, but now they believed in the resurrection, no if and or buts! I hope this helps, CDBJ |

798 | can you be baptised twice | Acts | CDBJ | 96108 | ||
I think it is great that you want to be baptized since you have trusted in what Jesus has done for you and you are trusting in Him; go for it! Look at what Philip said the prerequisite for baptism was! Acts 8:36-37 And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized? 37And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. Accordingly, before believing in Jesus it wasn’t true baptism because we must do it the way and in the proper order that God commands us not what we assume it to be right! CDBJ |

799 | Another Acts 2 Question | Acts | CDBJ | 157521 | ||
I believe you can answer your own question if you will study the following verses that preceded Acts 2 Acts 1:2-4 until the day when He was taken up, after He had by the Holy Spirit given orders to the apostles whom He had chosen. [3] To these He also presented Himself alive, after His suffering, by many convincing proofs, appearing to them over a period of forty days, and speaking of the things concerning the kingdom of God. [4] And gathering them together, He commanded them not to leave Jerusalem, but to wait for what the Father had promised, "Which," He said, "you heard of from Me; It looks like the apostles to me, CDBJ |
