Hello JimmyHen, I’m note trying to make any particular point; I am just trying to figure out where it is you are coming from. You are one of the few that has posted on the forum more then fifteen times and yet have neglected to put anything about yourself in the personal profile section. It’s always nice to be able to see where a person stands. I guess everyone has a motive for what they do, or should I say what they neglect to do. Many aren’t even aware that all they have to do is click on the name of the author of any post to fine out a little something about the author. Usually those that neglect to fill out this portion on the forum have an ulterior motive and they don’t want to be found out. There have been times in the past when members have stopped posting to the above mentioned types because they surmise that they are up to no good since they are holding something back. Matthew 5:14-16 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. [15] Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. [16] Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. Most of the forthright members of the forum follow this pattern. 2 Cor. 4:1-4 Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not; [2] But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God. [3] But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: [4] In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. I hope this is the pattern that you are trying to follow and that you will share something with us on your personal profile, CDBJ |

82 | Why are we judged? | Bible general Archive 3 | CDBJ | 161829 | ||
Hi Nsquared, That's an interesting post and it does all seem rather redundant doesn’t it? God hates sin, and because of His character, “He must” punish sin and the Bible says that we are all sinners. Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; So how can God just up and forgive us of our sins if we confess them, as you say? Can God just up and excuse us for our sins? That would destroy the eternal perfect character of God. It sure seems like a pickle; God must punish sin, as the Bible says, but then that would mean separating us from God forever and God doesn’t want that because He loves us so much. God devised a fantastic plan where as He could satisfy His perfect righteousness and yet provide a way that we could spend eternity with Him in heaven. Have a great day, CDBJ |

84 | Does Satan Really Exist? | Bible general Archive 3 | CDBJ | 166205 | ||
Hello Dr. B. As you have suggested, “If this is all that I have achieved, it is enough, but it is also important to witness to the truth we have found.” What truth have you found with regards to the person of Jesus Christ, with the following in mind? 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. Jesus said that he is “the truth”. The “I am”, or the verb structure of that verse, in the Koine Greek of the original language, is in the indicative mood, present tense, active voice, 1st person singular of EIME. The indicative mood indicates a reality, the present tense means it is still working as we speak, and the active voice means the Jesus himself is producing the action of the verb, the truth. What truth about Jesus have you personally experienced in your lengthy time of studying the Bible? You have shared your comments about Satan how about sharing with us what you have found out about Christ, who is the main character of Revelation. Rev. 1:1 (A) The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, Rev. 22:20-21 He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. [21] The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen. Have a great day, CDBJ |

88 | Are these essentials for Salvation? | Bible general Archive 3 | CDBJ | 167392 | ||

89 | Are these essentials for Salvation? | Bible general Archive 3 | CDBJ | 167503 | ||
We don’t stop repentance, as it were. It’s just that the object is different for the unbeliever and the believer. The unbeliever turns from the way they’ve been going and doing a 180 degree switch they turn toward the Living Word; Jesus Christ for indwelling and salvation. Repentance for the indwelt, saved believer, is turning from a sinful or carnal way of life toward the Written Word, or the Bible, for fellowship, and God control. 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. As believers in time we are always 100 percent one or the other. We are either under the control of the Spirit or we are under the control of our old sin nature, called the flesh; and the war goes on! No such thing as a little bit of each!! Many misuse the following verse as though it were pointed at unbelievers, when actually it’s pointed at believers for fellowship and control and the eliminating of the discipline process that follows carnality. Rev. 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. This invitation, to get back in fellowship, is accomplished by opening the door with the function of 1 John 1:9 coupled with the intake of Bible doctrine on a routine basis. “Not open for debate” Have a great day, CDBJ |

Hi Samantha, I think we carry the sorrow thing a little far. God isn’t impressed with our sorrow for sin; the only thing that impresses God is what Jesus did for those sins on the cross. 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. “He is faithful”, which means he will do it every time. And He is “just to forgive us of our sins” because Jesus paid the price demanded for those sins, not because we feel sorry for them. Everything points to Christ and the quicker we learn that lesson the better off we’ll be!!! Don’t let feeling get in the way of mercy and grace. Have a great day, CDBJ |

92 | can we get baptized twice | Bible general Archive 3 | CDBJ | 168722 | ||
Hi BobbyF, I think the shortest answer to your question would be the prerequisite for water baptism which doesn’t imply infants or adults but a personal understanding of the person and work of Jesus the Christ. 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? [37] And 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. The Scripture doesn’t expatiate on the age for baptism but the ability to comprehend exactly who Jesus is and what he did as the Messiah. Have a great day, CDBJ |

93 | god shouldn't send people to hell. | Bible general Archive 3 | CDBJ | 171967 | ||
Greetings; I have done a lot of sailing in lake Erie in the past 20 years: if I find someone treading water in the middle of the lake in a storm, because their boat sank, and I continually throw them a life ring and they refuse to take hold so I can rescue them, for what reason I can’t imagine, am I at fault or unloving because they downed? I can’t make them grab ahold of the only hope they have, and it is the same with God and His plan for eternal life. The lake of fire is a very real place that was created for the devil and his angles and man will end up there if he doesn’t trust in God’s only “perfect” provision to escape such a place, so how is that unloving? Is it fair or just; God is God, and what He says goes! Matthew 25:41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: God has provided everything necessary for eternal life in heaven through the person of Jesus Christ, His Son, and if people refuse His life saving remedy how could they consider God still responsible, if they outright refuse His help? This is strange thinking the way I see it, CDBJ |

95 | should we confess to a priest or not? | Bible general Archive 3 | CDBJ | 173414 | ||
Greetings; I don't know if I am hearing you right on your statment. “Again, the concept of confession of sin to a priest is nowhere taught in Scripture.” When you say “nowhere in Scripture”, are you talking about only the New Testament which doesn’t have a specialized priesthood like the Old Testament or do you mean both old and New Testament? 1 Tim. 2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; Have a great day, CDBJ |

96 | U.S.A. the Babylon of Revelations 18? | Bible general Archive 3 | CDBJ | 175693 | ||
Greetings, You made a statement, which is a little confusing to me at best, you stated, “I am not under the law, I am not saved by the law. I am saved by grace and through faith.” This grace that you speak of, do you keep the Sabbath to deserve it, and the faith you mention what is the object of this faith. I crossed a creek one time, when I was younger, in the chilling dead of winter. It was about ½ a mile around the long “dry” way but I spotted a tree that looked like the perfect answer to my long chilling walk in 6” deep cold snow. I decided to put my all my “hope” and faith in a small tree that had fallen across the creek, seeing it provided me a way of getting over the icy water without getting wet. To make a long story short, I ended up in the icy, bone chilling, water because the dumb tree broke when I was about half way across; I was close to freezing before I got home that day. My faith was sound, or I wouldn’t have stepped out on the tree in the first place; the problem wasn’t with my faith but the “object” of my faith was faulty. My Question is: Is the object of your “faith” keeping the Sabbath, or is keeping the Sabbath your means of acquiring grace? Curious, CDBJ |

Hi Jagfire, Hay, that really sounds sanctimonious but what do you mean by everything else falling into place? You suggest the following; If "we do" those two things "faithfully", everything else will fall into place. By doing what you mentioned, how do we know if we did it well enough? Will God be satisfied to the extent that He will give us eternal life even if I don’t quite measure up to his standard of doing what you suggest perfect? I think I need some biblical proof that your right; eternity is an awful long time to spend if you are wrong and I’m having a hard time with the heat I’m in now and it's only in the 90's. That doesn’t sound like very good news to me! CDBJ |

Greetings face, Have you entered into this Sabbath yet and if so do you fault others who don’t exhibit a certain day as you do; for example Abraham? Hebrews 4:1-10 Therefore, let us fear lest, while a promise remains of entering His rest, any one of you should seem to have come short of it. [2] For indeed we have had good news preached to us, just as they also; but the word they heard did not profit them, because it was not united by faith in those who heard. [3] For we who have believed enter that rest, just as He has said, "As I swore in My wrath, They shall not enter My rest," although His works were finished from the foundation of the world. [4] For He has thus said somewhere concerning the seventh day, "And God RESTED ON THE SEVENTH DAY FROM ALL His works"; [5] and again in this passage, "They shall not enter My rest." [6] Since therefore it remains for some to enter it, and those who formerly had good news preached to them failed to enter because of disobedience, [7] He again fixes a certain day, "Today," saying through David after so long a time just as has been said before, "Today if you hear His voice, Do not harden your hearts." [8] For if Joshua had given them rest, He would not have spoken of another day after that. [9] There remains therefore a Sabbath rest for the people of God. [10] For the one who has entered His rest has himself also rested from his works, as God did from His. Has the real Sabbath of God been revealed to you yet as it was to Abraham? Galatians 3:14 in order that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles, so that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. I am not under obligation to worship God on one day a week but out of gratitude and respect and love for what God has done for me through the person of his Son, Jesus the Christ, I observe seven days of Sabbath every week not just one day. It sounds like your trying to impose certain actions that have already been discussed in the book of Acts. Peter has already set us straight on situations of the same category that you feel should be imposed. Acts 15:8-11 "And God, who knows the heart, bore witness to them, giving them the Holy Spirit, just as He also did to us; [9] and He made no distinction between us and them, cleansing their hearts by faith. [10] "Now therefore why do you put God to the test by placing upon the neck of the disciples a yoke which neither our fathers nor we have been able to bear? [11] "But we believe that we are saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, in the same way as they also are." This summation of the discussion doesn’t include any special day to worship the lord. Acts 15:28-29 "For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us to lay upon you no greater burden than these essentials: [29] that you abstain from things sacrificed to idols and from blood and from things strangled and from fornication; if you keep yourselves free from such things, you will do well. Farewell." This is a 24 hour Sabbath 7 days a week. John 4:23-24 "But an hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth; for such people the Father seeks to be His worshipers. [24] "God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth." Farewell, CDBJ P.S. Adam and Eve were created, we are all procreated! |

Hello Face, Could you expatiate on this part of your statement, “that we all hope to enter” That doesn’t sound like a very sure thing to me; how can you improve on it to the point where it is absolutely assured? Hypothetically speaking, if you would downright refuse do observe the Sabbath on Saturday, could you still spend an eternity with God in heaven? CDBJ |

Greetings Starfire, It's hard for me to give you an answer to that question because after reading your user profile I am more confused now then before. You suggest the following in your testimony, “Been a believer all my life” Which life are you referring to in the previous statement, physical life or spiritual life or what? I don’t know quite how this could happen, or maybe I’m missing a little something between the lines. Help me out with this, CDBJ |
