81 | God can't die or look on sin! | Matt 27:46 | CDBJ | 225407 | ||
Greetings and Merry Christmas, I ‘m not real sure we will find a suitable answer; I’ve asked my pastor along with numerous others and know one has come up with a plausible solution. CDBJ |

82 | God can't die or look on sin! | Matt 27:46 | CDBJ | 225397 | ||
The problem isn’t the obvious grief that Jesus was suffering; the place where I am stuck is, what was the Deity of the second person of the trinity doing when Christ was made sin for us. Deity can’t look on sin or have anything to do with it, other then judge it! 2 Cor. 5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. Jesus was not only seperated from the Father but the Holy Spirit as well but what about the Word of God or what we call the second person since it is a hypostatic union with the body of Jesus? CDBJ |

Thanks BMyers, but I believe you meant to direct your post to User1965. Experience has shown that only about one out of ten well actually take the time to look up the scriptural address, if that is all that is given as an answer. It benefits most if the actual verses are written out in full along with the address. EXAMPLE, you suggested the following. Proverbs 6:1-19 My son, if thou be surety for thy friend, if thou hast stricken thy hand with a stranger, 2Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, thou art taken with the words of thy mouth. 3Do this now, my son, deliver thyself, when thou art come into the hand of thy friend; go, humble thyself, and make sure thy friend. 4Give not sleep to thine eyes, nor slumber to thine eyelids. 5Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand of the hunter, and as a bird from the hand of the fowler. 6Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise: 7Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler, 8Provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest. 9How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep? 10Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep: 11So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, and thy want as an armed man. 12A naughty person, a wicked man, walketh with a froward mouth. 13He winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feet, he teacheth with his fingers; 14Frowardness is in his heart, he deviseth mischief continually; he soweth discord. 15Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall he be broken without remedy. 16These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: 17A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, 18An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, 19A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren. Proverbs 11:15 He that is surety for a stranger shall smart for it: and he that hateth suretiship is sure. Have a great day, CDBJ |

Greetings, I know that verse and it’s that very verse that stimulated my question to you in the first place. I ask again, what is the believer in Christ holding to the pretribulation point of view supposed to do if the rapture takes place before the tribulation. Aside from believing in Jesus what is it that one needs to be doing to be ready, or putting it another way; what would you suggest aside from total trust in the saving work of Christ? Then on the other hand “if” the rapture doesn’t take place before the tribulation what is it that Christians need to prepare for? Luke 18:1-8 And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint; 2Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man: 3And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary. 4And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man; 5Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me. 6And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith. 7And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them? 8I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth? 2 Thes. 2:3-9 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. 5Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? 6And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. 7For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. 8And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: 9Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, Could it be that we are being deceived and many won’t be ready for that which is going to take place on earth “before” Christ returns? Matthew 24:48 But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; Scripture never suggest that the Lord’s return will come sooner then expected, it’s always later, suggesting that the faith of many will be shattered. 1 Thes. 5:9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, The “tribulation period”is the wrath of Satan’s man during his final days. The wrath of God doesn’t take place until “after” believers are delivered from these most horrible days. CDBJ |

87 | did Christ reveal to the disciples | NT general | CDBJ | 224174 | ||
Hi Tim, Good point but a bad translation of the truth that was easily missed by the translators when written in the English. If one would consider the word wrapped, ENTULISSO, in the Koine it will get one started in the right direction. John 20:7 And the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself. I did an extensive study on this verse years ago and the fact of the matter is; the Jews learned the technique of the burial from the Egyptians in part. Here is what I found: The napkin that was used only around the head was of a much thicker material then that used to wrap the rest of the body and as a result it held more of the spices that were used to cover the victim. John 19:39 And there came also Nicodemus, which at the first came to Jesus by night, and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about an hundred pound weight. The napkin material was of a narrower material then those used for the rest of the body but there was more of it used, causing the layers to be thicker after the head was fully wrapped. They would crisscross back and forth around the face and under the chin and around the neck and over the top of the head, with many layers, until everything was covered then the spices were applied. This would form a mass that was self supporting much the same way if you would take a balloon and covering it with paper-mache. This inner twinning of the material formed a round shape that included the neck on the side and none of this was directly connected to the body wrap. The body was placed on a narrow stone slab of those that were wealthy where the decomposition process accrued quite slowly. What was seen, upon careful examination, was the fact that the head cover was still intact, as a ball, but the head was removed without disturbing the original shape of the napkin. It was lying by itself still crisscross wrapped, but because it was not connected or held to the body wrap it had rolled off of the slab and was laying by itself still in a ball shape. That would be the same as wrapping a balloon with paper-mache then popping the balloon with a pin after the paper-mache had dried. It would be an utter impossibility for Jesus to remove His Head without destroying the wrapped shape and due to this fact John now believed the first resurrection in history had taken place. John 20:8 Then went in also that other disciple, which came first to the sepulchre, and he saw, and believed. It wasn’t that John finally believed in Jesus, it was that he believed in the resurrection due to the fact that the head of Christ went through the napkin without unwrapping it. CDBJ |

89 | is water-baptism needed for salvation? | Eph 2:8 | CDBJ | 223899 | ||
Well taken! God's plan of salvation even as God himself hasn't changed since man first walked this earth. The Old Testament believers trusted in the work of the promised Messiah that was to come. We have the privilege of knowing who that Messiah is, Jesus Christ the righteous. God’s plan, for those who will inherit eternal life, is for those whom He foreknew to place the entirety of their hope of living with and in the presence of God for all eternity solely in the work that God would accomplish on the cross in the God Man Jesus the Christ. There was no baptism for those that trusted and believed God in the Old Testament that had anything thing at all to do with their salvation, and as such water baptism has noting to do with ones salvation in the New Testament! Malachi 3:6 (A) For I am the LORD, I change not; Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever. Trust in Christ “only for eternal life” or “try and add” to His finished work and miss out on the eternal blessings that God has for those that put “all” of their hope for the future in Jesus God’ unique Son! 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.

90 | is water-baptism needed for salvation? | Eph 2:8 | CDBJ | 223866 | ||
When was the thief on the cross baptized after he believed: he wasn’t, yet he was in fact saved and God is no respecter of persons! (Adam Clark Commentary) Titus 3:5 Not by works of righteousness—Those who were foolish, disobedient, and deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, could not possibly have works of righteousness to plead; therefore, if saved at all, they must be saved by mercy. See the note on Ephesians 2:8; and see a discourse entitled, Salvation by Faith proved, 8vo., 1816, in which I have examined every system invented by man for his restoration to the Divine favor and image: and have demonstrated, by mere reason, their utter insufficiency to answer the end for which they have been invented; and have proved that the doctrine of salvation by faith is the only rational way of salvation. By the washing of regeneration. Undoubtedly the apostle here means baptism, the rite by which persons were admitted into the Church, and the visible sign of the cleansing, purifying influences of the Holy Spirit, which the apostle immediately subjoins. Baptism is only a sign, and therefore should never be separated from the thing signified; but it is a rite commanded by God himself, and therefore the thing signified should never be expected without it. By the renewing of the Holy Ghost we are to understand, not only the profession of being bound to live a new life, but the grace that renews the heart, and enables us thus to live; so the renewing influences are here intended. Baptism changes nothing; the grace signified by it cleanses and purifies. They who think baptism to be regeneration, neither know the Scriptures nor the power of God; therefore they do greatly err. If the apostle John knew that (water) baptism was a needed part of salvation he would have included it in his gospel message stated in 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.

91 | is water-baptism needed for salvation? | Eph 2:8 | CDBJ | 223840 | ||
Greetings, Many are deluded by trying to add to what Jesus finished on the cross. Scripture boiled down to its simplest truth is that ones salvation Is by grace through faith and anything added to faith or taken from faith destroys the pure function of faith there by neutralizing faith and its object, Jesus Christ. Faith plus anything lessons saving faith and as a result some are depending on something they assume they must do and there by grace is not applied to that individual. Paul demonstrated this in, Acts 16:29-31 Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas, 30And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? 31And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. If baptism was part of the salvation it would have been expressed as such by Paul. John goes so far as to tell us the meaning for his gospel in the following verses. 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. Anyone depending on their works by being baptized by water for salvation has actually destroyed their hope for salvation. Faith for salvation must be an “undivided trust” in what God did for mankind in the person of His Son Jesus Christ. Ephesians 2:8-9 (AMP) 8 For it is by free grace (God’s unmerited favor) that you are saved (delivered from judgment and made partakers of Christ’s salvation) through [your] faith. And this [salvation] is not of yourselves [of your own doing, it came not through your own striving], but it is the gift of God; 9 Not because of works [not the fulfillment of the Law’s demands], lest any man should boast. [It is not the result of what anyone can possibly do, so no one can pride himself in it or take glory to himself.] CDBJ |

92 | Crusifixtion a sacrafice? John 3:16 | Bible general Archive 4 | CDBJ | 223617 | ||
When Christ was on the cross He in fact said “my God, my God why have you forsaken me”. We must remember that the New Testament was written in the Koine Greek and the word for death or, THANATOS, actually means separation. There are seven different types of death mentioned in Scripture and the one for sin is separation from God. Romans 6:23 (A) For the wages of sin is death; John chapter 19 tells us something that is often not notice by casual observation. John 19:30 When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost. The word for finished in the Koine Greek come to us from the word, TETLESTAI. The etymology of this word is said to have originated in the slave market; signifying that the price agreed for a particular slave had been paid in full and the gavel was struck completing the transaction. The one holding the sale would holler out “TETLESTAI” there by sealing the transaction and showing the completion of that sale was over and finished. The price for sin, demanded by God, and paid for by God’s appointed one, Jesus the Christ had been totally paid for in full and nothing more is ever required! Now God can offer salvation to mankind as a free gift to man, paid for by the God Man Himself, Jesus. 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 fact is that Jesus made this exclamation while He was “still alive in the flesh”, signifying that the total price for sin was paid, i.e. separation from God. It was “just after this” that He bowed His head and His soul separated from His body and He died physically: so one could say theoretically that He actually died twice while on the cross, spiritually and physically.

Greetings, To be sure, the crux of my post is pointed toward the nearly seven thousand people that are known to read or examine this forum during the course of a week. From past experience I have talked with individuals who actually believe they were saved because the took the initiative to go forward in a service of one kind or another; according to Scripture that has never saved anyone to this day! It almost runs hand in hand with asking Jesus to come into your heart. Christ doesn’t come into a sewer as it were. Jeremiah 17:9 "The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can know it? Then there are those that say in order to be saved all one needs to do is confess their sins and ask the Lord to forgive them which, with regards to salvation, is more unbiblical garbage. Lest I forget the ones that push, “Make Jesus the Lord of your life.” We can’t make Jesus Lord of anything, He is what He is and He is the Lord God of everything and we can’t make Him Lord of anything. Why everyone feels the need to deviate from the truth of God’s Word in beyond me, unless it is the work of the adversary? (This is Truth) Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved. The big problem resides within the confines of the word believe. In the English language the emphasis in believing leans toward just giving “mental assent to something”, and that won’t save anyone. James 2:19 You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe--and tremble! The Koine Greek of the New Testament i.e. PISTIS or PISTEUO means to fully trust in, have faith in and rely on and object, and the object for salvation “must be TOTALLY” in the person of God’s Son, Jesus Christ the Lord and the work that He “finished” on the cross. Anything that we “try to do for salvation” in addition to what God has already done for us only nullifies God’ plan salvation for our lives!! Matthew 7:21-23 "Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22Many will say to Me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?' 23And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!' Brother, this was by no means pointed at you; I just saw a great opportunity to expatiate on a point of doctrine that many don’t understand and it could cost them their eternal future! Have a great day, CDBJ |

98 | Will we ever see God the Father? | Bible general Archive 4 | CDBJ | 222383 | ||
I neglected to mention what Steven saw when he was being stoned. He himself saw two objects in the following verse. Acts 7:55 But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up stedfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God, Psalm 110:1 A Psalm of David. The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool. One had to be the Father and the other was Jesus and it was the Holy Spirit that made it all possible and God is no respecter of persons so what Steven saw we will be able to see as well. CDBJ |

99 | Will we ever see God the Father? | Bible general Archive 4 | CDBJ | 222382 | ||
Greetings, God is one in essence but "three in personalities". Jesus said that he has seen the Father so He is visible. John 6:46 Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father. All truly born again believers are "of the Father" at the point of their new birth in the spirit. John 1:13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. Couple that verse with the following and it pretty much makes it conclusive that we will have the ability to see the Father since we will be like Jesus. 1 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. I don’t believe that we will be restricted to only seeing one of God’s personalities, i.e. not the Son only but the Father also. Have a great day, CDBJ |
