801 | Where or what scripture says that He doe | Acts | CDBJ | 197900 | ||
Greetings and Merry Christmas, Try to understand the object for the healing and the miracles that took place. The completed Bible wasn’t finished yet and the healings opened the eyes of those that witnessed these acts and as a result the Apostles were able to present the message of Christ. It was like having credentials from God as to who the Apostles represented. Paul had the gift of healing but even he came a point in time when this gift ceased to function as evidenced by the following verse. 2 Tim. 4:20 Erastus abode at Corinth: but Trophimus have I left at Miletum sick. Today with all those that “claim” to have this particular gift, how many of them do you know, that are over 200 years old? God can still heal all that He desires with out the use men and, "He will" accomplish His divine intended purpose! CDBJ |

803 | Can Rapture Really Take Place...? | Acts 2:20 | CDBJ | 32894 | ||
The actual word rapture isn't used in Scripture but the concept of being caught up is. There are many verses in the Bible that convey the concept of what has come down to us as a word of accommodation and it lumps it all together as the rapture. 2 Thes. 1:10 When 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. What a lot of believers fail to recognize is the fact that when Jesus removes His church from the Earth that he will clobber those that are left behind on the same day. There isn't a time period per say for those left behind to make a decision for Christ. Look what precedes the last verse. In flaming fire doesn't sound like a second chance to me, coupled with everlasting destruction, the word (when), signifies the time of this action. 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. Most all believers are quick to quote the verse that say, of Christ return, that He will come like a thief in the night, but fail to realize that this is only speaking of those not looking for him. He won't come as thief to those who know what to look for. 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. There are two groups mentioned here, (they) unbelievers, and (you) believers. Christ explained the same situation and gave us an illustration in Matthew. Matthew 24:36-39 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. 37But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 38For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, 39And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. Notice it say that this all happened the same day the Noe entered into the ark. The day that the Lord lifts us up He is going to clobber those left behind. The same thing happened to Lot. Luke 17:28-29 Likewise 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. Do you see anything familiar in this example; the same day? As soon as lot was removed BANG, God clobbered them. So many Christians are saying that we don't know the day or the hour of Christ return, which is true. But the Bible sure predicts that things that will be taking place just before He comes. The Bible says that we will not know the exact day or hour but we will know the times and season by the events taking place. There are signs a plenty for us mentioned in the Bible to watch for. Anyone that tries to say that we won't know the season is falling under the guidelines of being deceived by someone. Matthew 24:3-4 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? 4And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. Paul also says that there may be those that try to deceive us. They may even be well meaning believers within our own ranks that have twisted Scripture around because it sounds nicer to them or more pleasant to the hearers. 2 Thes. 2:3 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; I don't see any doctrin to back up a false hope for those left behind!

805 | Pentecost Batism, Was it by or in water? | Acts 2:39 | CDBJ | 75447 | ||
Greetings Fellow Heir, and welcome to the forum. I think that it is water baptism that is mentioned in the following verse. Acts 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. The reason I believe this is water baptism is because the baptism of the Spirit will occur at the point in the verse when they Repent. The word repent is on one side of the coin and faith in Jesus is on the other. It is impossible to repent without having faith in Jesus Christ because repentance is directional; it is turning away from something to something. i.e. turning from what you have been doing and start trusting in Jesus and what he did. I think the following verse will back up what I have just suggested if when you read it you will consider the progression of events that lead up to the sealing. 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 sealing wasn’t the work of the Spirit, but actually the Holy Spirit Himself. 2 Cor. 1:22 Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts. The word earnest, in the English comes to us from the Greek word ARRHABON, which in essence is a down payment. My two cents worth, CDBJ |

807 | Soul can be destroyed? | Acts 3:23 | CDBJ | 219612 | ||
Hi John and welcome to the forum. With reference to your question the answer might be, Matthew 10:28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. This is a reference to the fact that all will be resurrected and will receive an eternal body which will last forever. Those that trust and rely of what Jesus did for them on the cross will spend eternity with the Lord in their new bodies. Those that reject God’s gift of eternal life in Christ will also receive a resurrected body which can’t be destroyed but it will constantly be going through the process throughout eternity. Rev. 14:9-11 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, 10The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: 11And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name. Not a very glorious picture for those that aren’t under the protection of the Lord and His precious gift of life in Christ. Have you come to the place yet where you have received God’s precious gift, or is this something you are still seeking to receive? Have a great day, CDBJ |

808 | must jews accept jesus to go to heaven? | Acts 4:12 | CDBJ | 98314 | ||
Hi Tov, Welcome to the forum. It is the plan of God that Jesus would be the spotless Lamb of God. All of the Jewish sacrifices up to the point of Christ death were only a covering until God would provide the perfect spotless sacrifice, his only unique dear Son. 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. God has no other plan for man’s salvation other then through his Son. Jesus did it once for all, he paid the price that God demanded for our redemption and God the Father was satisfied with the price paid because he brought his son back to life and seated him at his right hand. Hebrews 10:7-12 Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God. 8Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law; 9Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second. 10By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. 11And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: 12But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God; The direct answer to your question, “must jews accept jesus to go to heaven?” Is a resounding yes, with no exception and it’s not because anyone says so but because God’s Word says so! 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. Have a great day, CDBJ |

809 | How can I get back the fire...? | Acts 8:39 | CDBJ | 198971 | ||
Greetings EJM and welcome to the forum. Forget about the fire feelings stuff just stick with taking in God’s precious Word and give it back to those in your periphery with patience and joy instructing those that appose themselves. I remember when I was a new believer in Jesus and I was so excited about what I had found in Christ that everybody was going to listen “to me” or else. I muddied so much water in those early days of my Christian life, with all “my” attempts, to get everyone saved that I am still hearing about it and it’s been over 40 years now. I would Bible whip people thinking that I could convince them if I’d just push enough Scripture down their throat. They would listen. It Didn’t work. Weather believers understand it or not, “all” believers are in full time Christian service. 1 Peter 3:15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear: The Lord uses prepared people. So be one by studying so you can pass it out. If you have any Biblical questions that have you stumped don’t be afraid to ask them on the forum. We will do all we can to help, I Hope you enjoy the forum, CDBJ |

810 | What really is respect of persons. | Acts 10:34 | CDBJ | 164327 | ||
I am assuming that your reference would be, Acts 10:34 Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons: God isn’t partial and doesn’t show favoritism with people i.e. he doesn’t discriminate against anyone, he is more then fair to all. 1 John 2:2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.

You are absolutely right; I didn’t understand the question then nor do I yet understand the pertinence of the question even now, with respect to the Bible! Why should we have to know all of the ramifications of hypnosis in order to understand and study the Bible? Do you suppose that the Apostle Paul disseminated the message of hypnosis along with the message of the Gospel? 1 Cor. 2:1-5 And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God. [2] For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified. [3] And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling. [4] And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: [5] That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

816 | we are more than conquerors romans 8 | Romans | CDBJ | 24182 | ||
(cf. Rom. 8:1) 8:35-37. Paul’s final questions are in verse 35: Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? The context (vv. 37, 39) shows that “the love of Christ” is His love for believers (not their love for Him; cf. 5:5). The apostle suggested seven things a believer might experience (Paul experienced all of them; 2 Cor. 11:23-28) that some might think could come between a believer and Christ’s love—trouble (, “pressure or distress”; mentioned frequently by Paul in 2 Cor.) or hardship (, lit., “narrowness,” i.e., being pressed in, hemmed in, crowded) or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword. These things—stated in increasing intensity—do not separate Christians from Christ; instead they are part of the “all things” (Rom. 8:28) God uses to bring them to conformity to His Son. Then Paul quoted Psalm 44:22 to remind his readers that in this life the people of God must face much affliction (cf. John 16:33) including even martyrdom for some. In the early days of the church one or more Christians were martyred every day, or faced the possibility of it. Their persecutors valued Christians’ lives as nothing more than animals to be butchered. In all these adversities (cf. “all things” in Rom. 8:28 and “all things” in v. 32 with all these things in v. 37), rather than being separated from Christ’s love, believers are more than conquerors (pres. tense, , “keep on being conquerors to a greater degree” or “keep on winning a glorious victory”) through Him who loved us. Jesus Christ and His love for believers enable them to triumph (cf. 2 Cor. 2:14). (BIBLE KNOWLEDGE COMM. NEW TEST.) |

Lenpaul, What good does it do me to answer your questions and try to form a dialog with you when you ignore my response and completely change the subject with your reply; it makes me feel like a non entity! Let’s try and start over if you would please? Maybe you could answer one of my questions, and only you personally have the answer for this one? I will change it up a little from the last time I ask, in my previous post. Question: With all of the time you’ve spent studying the Bible, have you come to the place yet, in your spiritual understanding, where you can say “for certain” that you have the guarantee of eternal life with God in heaven?

Greetings and welcome to the forum. In answering your question I think it would be safe to say that the Apostle Paul would be a good example. Romans 10:1-4 (NASB) Speaking of Israel 1 Brethren, my heart's desire and my prayer to God for them is for their salvation. 2 For I testify about them that they have a zeal for God, but not in accordance with knowledge. 3 For not knowing about God's righteousness and seeking to establish their own, they did not subject themselves to the righteousness of God. 4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes. I hope you enjoy the forum, CDBJ |

819 | Is a good conscience enough for salvatio | Rom 2:7 | CDBJ | 209287 | ||
Greetings Finder, Be assured that no one will ever be saved because of their “good works”. The payment, or wages, for works done by those that are lost are pronounced in the following. Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Religion focuses on a person trying to gain God’s approval as dead works. The work that Jesus did on the cross completely finished all that is needed for man’s eternal relationship with a Holy God, i.e. eternal life. Where the problem comes in is that most aren’t willing to completely trust in God’s solution for sin which is God’s Messiah or Christ, that’s why Jesus said what he did in John 14. 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. The key to eternal life is found in the person of Jesus the Son. 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: The word believe, is PISTEUO in the Greek and it means to have faith and trust in and rely on the person of Jesus. Once a person puts their undivided trust in the person of Jesus, Christ Himself comes into that person and indwells them. Notice what takes place when that happens! 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. This is the best news on Earth to those that have undivided trust in the one God provided, Jesus. Have a great day, CDBJ |

820 | There are a few righteous in the Bible | Rom 3:10 | CDBJ | 188762 | ||
Greetings INRI and welcome to the forum. The salvation message has be the same since the beginning of sin by man. God in His matchless love will provide the solution in His chosen one the Messiah. The Old Testament saints looked forward to Messiah’s coming and we of the New Testament look back; we are privileged to know that it is Jesus. Romans 10:1-4 Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. 2For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. 3For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. 4For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth. I hope you enjoy the forum, CDBJ |
