841 | how do you overcome fear of failure? | NT general Archive 1 | CDBJ | 56825 | ||
My first question to you before I can give a good answer is how long have you been a true born again Christian? I had much the same feelings when I was a new believer and sometimes I think that I must have muddied up a lot of water before it got easy for me. Most of the time we have fear of personal rejection and that is only overcome by years of studying the Bible and learning how to trust in the truth that it contains. Luke 6:22 Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake. John 15:18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. You don’t have to have fear of failure because in a way you can never succeed anyway. Take witnessing as an example one will never succeed at witnessing because it is God that has to do the work not us. All we are able to do is plant the seed or maybe water it a little but it is God that has to cause the life. 1 Cor. 3:6-7 I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. [7] So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase. We can never cause anyone to understand the message of the Gospel, so it doesn’t mater how good or experienced you might be. It’s the Lord that causes understanding. Matthew 16:13-17 When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am? [14] And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets. [15] He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? [16] And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. [17] And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. If God the father doesn’t want to reveal truth to the person you are witnessing to at that time, namely who Jesus is and what he did for them, no mater what you say or how hard you try it won’t make any difference, so you might as well relax and have fun and enjoy watching the Lord work, flesh and blood can’t reveal truth! Relax in the Lord and in the power of His Might. CDBJ |

842 | Can sinnners inherit the kingdom of God? | 1 Cor 6:9 | CDBJ | 56406 | ||
You ask about the position of believers in your question and the process of forgiveness. If we are confident of our faith in Jesus but are in sin(s), such as adultery, drunkenness or unforgivenness bitterness ...but we are sorry for these sins and ask for forgiveness... we have made progress, but they still occur in spite of our efforts...Are we still saved? The key for the believer for being forgiven is in 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. Where in this verse dose it say that we are to be sorry and that we are to ask for forgiveness? God says that He will forgive us if we confess. The word confess comes to us from the Greek word, homologeo, it means to name as in a court room case. The reason that God is faithful is because Jesus died for the sins mentioned. Faithful means He will do it every time and not because we are (sorry), God isn’t impressed with what we do for sin, such things as being sorry, He is only impressed with what His Son did for sin. We can’t do anything for sin except confess it to God and that is all. There again Jesus gets all the credit we just have to believe that God takes care of it because He said He would. Theoretically if we are using our sorrow to be forgiven according to I John 1:9 we are not forgiven. We must do what the Bible teaches not what seems right to us. In the second place since Jesus died for all our sins they will only put the believer out of fellowship they won’t condemn the believer. The only thing that can condemn a person is refusing to believe in Jesus The Son of God and the work the he did for them on the cross. |

843 | 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. | ||||||
844 | Mark 16:16 what does it say? | Bible general Archive 1 | CDBJ | 50676 | ||
I have been reading your post and if you are so sure of Mark 16:16 are you sure enough to take the test of the 18th verse also? This is not found in some manuscripts along with verse 16 but if you try out verse 18 and don't get back to the forum we will know that you had good intentions. | ||||||
845 | where in the bible is the red ox mention | Num 19:2 | CDBJ | 50672 | ||
The term red ox, to my knowledge, is not mentioned but you can find the red heifer in Numbers. Numbers 19:2 This is the ordinance of the law which the LORD hath commanded, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring thee a red heifer without spot, wherein is no blemish, and upon which never came yoke: |

846 | will the church see the antichrist reign | 2 Thess 2:3 | CDBJ | 48418 | ||
The first time that the body of Christ will know who the Antichrist is will be when he makes a covenant with Israel. He is also referred to as the little horn in Daniel. Daniel 7:8 I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things. Daniel 8:9 And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which waxed exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the pleasant land. 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; It is also called the time of Jacob's trouble. Jeremiah 30:7 Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob's trouble; but he shall be saved out of it. Isaiah calls this time of the covenant with the Antichrist a covenant with death. Isaiah 28:15 Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves: The answer to your question is YES the church will see the Antichrist; the problem is that most are being deceived into thinking that we will be removed before this happens and if that were the case why would both Christ and Paul give us a warning? Matthew 24:4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. 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; This lawless one won't actually reveal who he is until after 42 Mo. or three and a half years after he makes the covenant, then he will reveal who he really is and will actually demand the worship of the world. Matthew 24:15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:) The question was put to Jesus by the disciples as to what the signs would be before Christ returned and the end of the age. Matthew 24:3 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? To get a fuller understanding of how it all ties together you might want to pick up a book called, The Sign, by Robert Van Kampen. |

847 | 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.

848 | WHAT IS THAT LIGHT IN GENESIS 1:3? | Bible general Archive 1 | CDBJ | 46903 | ||
The light was very God himself. Genesis 1:2 B And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. He actually brooded over the waters, thus from a sovereign decision his glory was found above the waters. i.e. the light. 1 John 1:5 This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. This is the way I see it. CDBJ |

849 | Is this before or after the rapture? | Matt 16:27 | CDBJ | 46884 | ||
Hello Prince Charming, and welcome to the forum. I hope your name was your wife's idea? Matthew 16:27 For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works. This particular verse that you referred to is the rapture. Virtually the same verse is discussed in the following. 2 Thes. 1:4-10 So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye endure: 5Which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer: 6Seeing 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. Notice when it will happen, verse 10, When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe This is talking about what we commonly call the rapture. The word for (coming), as in the coming of the Lord, is the word from the Koine Greek, (PAROUSIA) and it is actually a noun and not a verb; it is not describing an action as a verb would, but is instead describing an event that starts with the rapture and continues through the battle of Armageddon. Just like Christ first coming took 33 years, his second coming involves a period of time for it's compleation. |

850 | priests back then different now? | NT general Archive 1 | CDBJ | 46634 | ||
The priesthood was done away with after the perfect sacrifice was offered. Any priest that are functioning to day are not authorized by the Word of God. 1 Tim. 2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; When Christ ascended up to heaven he left men with certain responsibilities in the function of the church for it's growth and well being, notice that there is no mention of any priest. Ephes. 4:10-13 He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.) 11And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 12For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: 13Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: Every person that is a genuine born again believer is in the royal priesthood as an individual. 1 Peter 2:9 (KJV) But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: In the old Testament the priest was used as a go between and he only could inter into the presents of God in the most Holy place in the temple. When Christ died for us the vale that separated God from believers was torn from top to bottom showing that God himself has opened up the way to himself. Now we can go directly to God with out the use of a priest to intermediate for us. Hebrews 4:14-16 (KJV) Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. 15For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. 16Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. Friend you better stay where you are or find another church that teaches the Bible word for word. A good way to tell if the church is teaching truth is to watch and see if the ones that are going into the church services are carrying Bibles in with them! If they aren't they are most likely just going through the motions of ritual and they don't have the reality of the living Christ in their life. My question to you would be, have you had the experience of a personal relationship with Christ yet. i.e. are you sure without a shadow of doubt that Jesus is in you and you are in him? In Christ love, CDBJ |

851 | Healing. James 5:14-16 | James 5:14 | CDBJ | 46327 | ||
Hello Farout, I like your post. If the gift of healing was still in effect, which I don't think it was, I am sure that James would have suggested that those that were sick should get in contact with one that had the gift of healing; maybe he forgot, or he just didn't think of it, no I don't think so. If the gift of healing was still functional then it must not have been very prevalent because he didn't even mention it, and for good reason, because there was a change of format! Do you suppose that James knew something that the now so-called healers don't know? I think that the local church took on the responsibility just as you have suggested and it was put to those that were sick in the form of a command. James 5:14-15 Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: 15And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him. Well farout, at least I have found one person on the forum that agrees with the way I see healing for the believers of today. CDBJ |

853 | Children/Baby baptism Scripture? | Mark 16:16 | CDBJ | 46303 | ||
Hello speshul, and welcome to the forum. I like the way you worded your question, it shows that you are looking for truth and not fiction, when you said that you were looking for answers in Scripture. There are some on this forum that are pushing their denominational beliefs rather then the facts of the Word of God, the reason being that they put them both on the same par, even if God's Word is contrary to their denominational teaching. Infant baptism is impossible if you consider what has been spoken as truth in the Bible: the reason being that an infant or babies don't have the ability to reason and figure thing out. Just by using one situation that took place in the Bible should convince you of what the prerequisite for baptism is and that it is impossible for a baby to do. Acts 8:26-35 And the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is desert. 27And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship, 28Was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet. 29Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot. 30And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest? 31And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him. 32The place of the scripture which he read was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so opened he not his mouth: 33In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth. 34And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man? 35Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus. 36 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.) Verse 36 says that there is a hindrance or a reason for not being baptized. Verse 37 tells us that the reason for not being baptized would be that of not believing in the message that was presented, about the person of Jesus, as being the very Son of God. The one who was being talked to said that he believe the message so as a result we have the action that takes place in the next verse. Acts 8:38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him. As you can see from Scripture a baby doesn't have the ability to reason or believe about the message of salvation through Christ. I hope this clears this up for you. CDBJ |

854 | define speaking in tongues. | 1 Corinthians | CDBJ | 46121 | ||
Hi Bill, I just found your post and welcome to the forum. The situation that occurred in Acts 2;3,4 where the apostles received the baptism of the Holy Spirit and it was accompanied by (glossolalia) i.e. Gentile tongues by which the Jews were to warned and evangelized. Glossolalia continued for forty years signaling the coming distruction of Jerusalem. The Lord spoke through Isaiah to warn of what was to come. Isaiah 28:11 (KJV) For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people. The Jews always looked for a sign and this was to be a sing to warn them of what was to come. 1 Cor. 14:22 (KJV) Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not: but prophesying serveth not for them that believe not, but for them which believe. God was telling the Jews that he was turning to the Gentiles and the Jews would know when this was happening by the sign of tongues; the Jews would as a result be very jealous that they have been cut off and the Gentiles grafted in to the olive tree. It was a disgrace to the Jews to think that God would turn to the Gentile dogs. I hope this helps a little, CDBJ |

Speaking from more then 35 years experience in the Lord now probably the best thing that I could tell you is what the Lord showed me. 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. 2 Peter 3:18 But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

857 | Why will Satan be bound then loosed ? | NT general Archive 1 | CDBJ | 45570 | ||
Well in my estimation, which doesn't mean much, I think that God does this to show that even with a perfect world, that man is still no good because he still has an old sin nature. It is evident that Satan when he is released that there will be those that will follow him even after having perfect rule on earth for almost 1000 years. | ||||||

You might try 1 John 5:10-13 (KJV) 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.
