901 | Is God ONE or is God THREE? | James 2:19 | CDBJ | 36065 | ||
10ecpreacher. I know that it isn't polite to answer a question with a question but I think that it is pertinent to the answer so that we know that we are both on the same track. God has essence and that much everyone on the forum would concede to, at least all those that have any intellectual faculties at all that they are in control of. I'll start off with a several and people can add to the list and I think when we a near completion we will see how God is one. What makes up God or what makes God who he is apart from everything else? 1.2.3.4.5.6. how many things are there? God is love. God is holy. God is ------------ |

902 | Why can God kill when he tells us not to | Bible general Archive 1 | CDBJ | 36054 | ||
On technical side of your question, the word in the 10 commandments isn't kill, as we so often read. The better translations read, thou shalt not murder, and there is a world of difference. God sometimes commands us to kill but never to murder. I answered this without reading the rest of the post so it is probably a repeat. | ||||||
903 | Empty Justification? | Revelation | CDBJ | 36051 | ||
Hi Charis, I think that you are starting to sense the same thing that I did, that's why I quit. There are many who will not listen to sound doctrine, even if numerous amounts of Scripture run counter to what they believe or have been taught. Some things can become so entrenched in a person's mind that nothing short of a miracle can dislodge it. Maybe that is why the Bible calls it being noble when a person has an open mind then proves everything out with Scripture! Acts 17:11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so. Some times one feels like they are beating their head on a brick wall when the truth is so obvious and people can't see it; I guess that is why it's called a forum. Yours in Christ, CDBJ |

904 | Believers come with Him, How rise first? | 1 Thess 4:14 | CDBJ | 36044 | ||
Tell me where their body is while they are with the Lord and I think that you will answer your own question. 1 Cor. 15:53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. Our position right now is in Christ, even though we don't see Him. When we die then it will see Him face to face. Man has a body, soul and spirit. Our bodies are sinful now but even this Christ will change when we acquire our new bodies at the rapture. |

905 | Are we bringers of peace or division? | Luke 12:51 | CDBJ | 36041 | ||
Hi Joe, the answer to your question, are we bringers of peace or division, the answer is an unequivocal yes. The verses in Scripture as well as your question, is a paronomasia, to say the least; they are both right and yet both wrong. It is all a matter of perspective and that depends on which side the recipients are on; the closest that I think I could come would be a comparison of Matthew 5:9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. And the verse that describes the way that the gospel works and the administration of the same Matthew 16:19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. The gospel message is either peace or division, it all depends on what the hearer does with it; if it is accepted and believed on, it brings peace: if it is rejected it is a division not only between the speaker and the hearer but a division between the hearer and God Himself. One can be at peace with God or God's wrath is on him. There is no shade of gray here, either you is or you aint! Did I say that right? My point of view, good question, CDBJ |

906 | Where is this king from? | Dan 11:36 | CDBJ | 35751 | ||
There are types and antitypes throughout the Bible and the verses in question, Dan. 11:36 were already played out once by Antiochus in the second century B.C. (I macc. 1:16-24) This can't be found in most of the protestant Bibles but it is nevertheless a written record of history. Antiochus was a type of the Antichrist to come, i.e. the final world ruler who will probably follow the same path right up to the abomination of desolation that was spoken of by Christ, Paul and John. This path included attacking the Kings of the South then returning to the land bridge that we call Israel. He is also referred in the Book of revelation as the little horn. Up until Russia was split apart as a nation this was rather difficult to figure out but now things are starting to fall into place since that nation has split apart. At least that how I see it, CDBJ (Ref.) The Sign by Robert Van Kampen pages 195, 196 |

907 | define repentance | Bible general Archive 1 | CDBJ | 35398 | ||
Repentance as described in the Greek of the New Testament is not the same as one might think in the English. 2 Cor. 7:10 For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death. Godly sorrow can bring about repentance but true repentance isn't sorrow. Repentance come to us from the word METANOIA in the Greek. It is a compound word from META, meaning to change and NOIA, thinking. With regards to salvation as mentioned in the verse, it actually means to change your thinking about the person of Jesus Christ and once you do this never to change your thinking again. If you are only sorry as the world is sorry, you will end up separated from God for eternity. When people are sorry for their sins, God is not the lest bit impressed with their sorrow. The only thing that God is impressed with, when it comes to sin, is what His Son did on the cross. Therefore if you want to do something that will really count with God put all your faith and trust in what Jesus did for you on the cross. Faith and repentance are two sides of the same coin and it all point to Christ. |

908 | Invite Jesus into you LIFE, not HEART... | Rom 6:23 | CDBJ | 35254 | ||
Centurian, I agree with you on what you had to say about the heart but then you said that we must invite Jesus into our life. I can't find any Scripture to back up either view; where we are told to invite Jesus into anything, be it our life or our heart? | ||||||
909 | DID JESUS EVER MARRY OR HAVE THE TEMPTAT | Bible general Archive 1 | CDBJ | 35188 | ||
I think that the verse that must be in question is found in Hebrews. Hebrews 4:15 For 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. The verse doesn't say all situations, it says all points. We must remember that temptation isn't a sin unless given into. I John tells us that there are three way by which we can be tempted that are a part of the world system. 1 John 2:15-16 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. The three ways pointed out here are lust of flesh, lust of the eyes, and the pride of life. You can see that Satan knew these and used them on Jesus in the book of Matthew when Christ went through his great temptation. See if you can pick out these three in the following verses? Matthew 4:1-11 Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. 2And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred. 3And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread. 4But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. 5Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple, 6And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. 7Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. 8Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; 9And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. 10Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. 11Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him. In these verses alone Christ was tempted in all points like as we are, yet without sin. Actually when we commit personal sin it all starts through one of the three categories. Notice also the way that Jesus combats the temptation, through the knowledge of, and use of God's word. 1 Cor. 10:13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. This doesn't say that God is going to take the temptation away but that we will be able to bear it the same way Christ did. 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.

911 | In Heaven a-way from pain | Ps 23:4 | CDBJ | 34889 | ||
Grace7044, I write poetry and here is a poem that I wrote for a Christian that lost a loved one in the Lord. I am not sure how the format will come out on the forum but I hope you can read it. A Voice From Beyond IIve passed into a better place of which there is no pain. So loved one keep your grieving short, your loss has been my gain. My state is far much better then the one that you behold. It's the hope that I've been looking for in the days when I'd grow old Though grief may oft consume you with thoughts about our past, Life must go, so please be strong, this grieving will not last. This place is awe inspiring, with much array to view. I've been so overwhelmed with it, I've hardly thought of you. My first day on location I was anything but bored, My first known recollection, I was looking at the Lord. The colors are fantastic, beyond your wildest dreams. Ensuing from His throne on high, an emerald rainbow streams. Enough about my bless for now, the problem's you're forlorn, And how to rectify the day, from which our love was torn. The secret to life's happiness is not all that absurd. It's found with-in the Mighty Script of God's Eternal Word. So keep yourself in hope I ask, make the Bible your main quest, And the Lord will surely comfort you, and put your heart at rest. Make sure my love of which you trust, in abundance of profession. It must be Jesus, not the church, to support your strong confession. Finally love with much ado, use not your loss for scorning. Weeping may endure the night, but joy cometh in the morning. I hope this helps, CDBJ |

913 | Is there forgiveness after falling back? | Matt 18:22 | CDBJ | 34751 | ||
Chich 60, let me ask you a question and I think you will see your answer. What sin didn't Jesus die for? I would assume that you said all sin except the one of not believing in Him. Now the fact that God is all knowing, it would be kind of silly to think that He didn't know that you were going to sin after you were saved, right! God knows we are still in these sinful bodies and He saves us because we believe in His precious Son Jesus in spite of our old sin natures. We try to do the best we can but sometimes that old nature takes over and Bang, we sin. Paul had the same problem that we all have a new nature and an old sin nature. Romans 7:14-25 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin. 15For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I. 16If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good. 17Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. 18For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. 19For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. 20Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. 21I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me. 22For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: 23But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. 24O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? 25I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin. Remember this in Romans and if you sin use I John 1:9 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. I hope this helps, we all have the same problem, CDBJ |

916 | Visit other churches? | Rom 16:16 | CDBJ | 34093 | ||
Hi Charis, my wife and I have probably been in seven different churches in the past five years and I would say that the denominations were close to that amount. I always have a rule that I go by though; if those that regularly attend any particular church don't carry a Bible into the service with them I won't bother going in. If those in charge of the church aren't going to teach me from the Bible they are wasting their time in their service, not mine. This is what Paul commanded to be done and I figure I should be on the receiving end of his advice. 2 Tim. 4:2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. This means Bible doctrine NOT church doctrine!! 2 Tim. 3:15-17 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 16All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works. The way I see it every leader of a church better be able to back up what he says with the Bible and not just with his pet verses. Hay, this sound like I am on my soapbox instead of a simple answer; sorry about that! CDBJ |

917 | Does that site address Rev. 6:16-17? | Bible general Archive 1 | CDBJ | 33972 | ||
Instead of having someone else do all the legwork for you try looking it up for yourself. One answer always lead to fifteen more questions and if most people understood the Koine Greek of the words used in the New Testament they probably wouldn't have ask the question that got it all started in the first place! Ninety nine percent of the time when someone ask a question on eschatology the have pulled one verse so far out of context, for a pretext of personal desire, that it contradicts fifteen other verses on the same subject. Psalm 119:160 The sum of thy word is truth; And every one of thy righteous ordinances endureth for ever. Notice that it says the SUM of; that means that all verses on any particular doctrin must be taken into consideration or added up with out any compromise on any verses for the truth of a specific doctrin to be established.

919 | HOW TO APPROACH THE FRIEND | Bible general Archive 1 | CDBJ | 33902 | ||
I take it from the way that your question is worded that your friend has not had a personal relationship with the risen living Lord. The only thing that your friend can understand about the Bible, and that by the working of the Holy Spirit is the Gospel. I think Paul gave us the example in 1 Cor. 2:2 For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified. John backs this up with the reason for writing the gospel that is named after him. 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. There are literally hundreds of thousand of people in churches allover the World that don't believe in Jesus Christ the way that the Bible says one must do in order to be saved. The only thing that any of us can do is explain Jesus to them and pray that God the Father will make Him known to them. A mortal being cannot cause another human to have a relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ; all we can do is give them the Word. 1 Cor. 3:6 I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. Further proof of this is mentioned by Christ in Matthew. 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? 14And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets. 15He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? 16And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. 17And 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. All I can say is learn all you can about Jesus and present Him, for God has promised in Isaiah 55. Isaiah 55:10-11 For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: 11So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. I hope this helps, CDBJ |

920 | please include specific scripture. | Bible general Archive 1 | CDBJ | 33883 | ||
I will give you Scripture and keep it real simple. The word believe in just the book of John, in one form or the other, is used ninety two times; in the Koine Greek of the New Testament it is the word PISTEUO. To execute the full meaning of the word PISTEUO, as believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, as used in the English language, one must have a one hundred percent trust in the person of Christ and that doesn't mean sharing even one percent with anything else, even a rock. Did you ever read in Proverbs where it says, trust in the Lord with part of your heart and trust in a rock for the rest, or something to that effect. Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. The only time one is to believe in a rock is when that rock is a reference to the Lord Himself. Psalm 18:2 The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower. The word believe, is a transitive verb which requires a subject and an object, the credit goes to the object not the subject i.e. the object of believe must always be the Lord Jesus Christ or the Word of God. The strongest faith in the world is no better then the object of that faith! I don't mean to ruffle your, excuse the pun, feathers. CDBJ |
