1 Timothy Chapter 3 Discussion Page 2

Sadly, so many are so unlearn that we have a tense to Judge so quickly tell we can't understand. The law was set for the children, Isreal. If we read the word of God carefully, Abraham had two wives, Jacob had two wives, King Davis had two wives, and so owned this was a comma practice in the early days. In New Testament, the Gentiles that were all baptized in Jesus' name was all Die in the watery grave was all risen in newness. 1 Corinthian 7: 10-16 explain. Now for the two wives, which was a practice in the early church, this is one reason why the Office of a Bishop must have one wife. Remember in your study what happens between Sarah and Haggi Jacob Rachel and Leah. I want to go into greater detail, but some of my teaching you will find in The Word of Truth Ministry.

Matthew 16:17-20

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.

And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was Jesus the Christ.

Dan, I don't recall a Scripture with those words, but did find this prayer on the Web, by someone who calls himself, Evangelist Chris Okoh:

"Oh Lord make me a mysterious wonder when men say it is finished. With this prayer, things will begin to change for good in Jesus name. The lord will lift you up above peoples understanding. O God make me a divine wonder O God arise in Jesus name."

I don't subscribe to the above nor have I heard of this man, but offer it in case this is what you've seen.

Dan,

Could this be what you are looking for?

Psa 139:13 For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.

Psa 139:14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.

Psa 139:15 My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.

Psa 139:16 Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.

Doris,

Sodom and Gomorrah were cities in the days of Abraham in land of Canaan. See Genesis 13.

Nickolas,

Matthew 27:17 says "Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:"

This was written for the Jews. What the Jews would do is they would use their housetops like a patio. It is where they would sit at night because of the heat. Jesus says let the one who is on the housetops (Jews) not come down to take anything out of his house.

That is how urgent things are going to be for them (The Jews). In Verse 16, they are told to flee. They are to flee immediately. There will be no time to go into the house to gather their belongings. I'm not sure if they still do, but the Jews had an outside stairway that goes up to the roof. So they are told to just go down the stairs and head on out to the mountains.

It is the same thing in Verse 18 with the ones who are out in the field. They are also to flee to the mountains. They are not to return home first to gather any of their belongings or check on loved ones. It will be very urgent for them and there will be no time to waste.

what is the mean of Sodoma, Gomorrha,

Can you give the interpretation of Matthew 24:17,18 concerning the end times?

Who prayed this prayer:"Oh Lord make me a mystery and a wonder

Jacqueline, you can type the word (using both the singular & plural) in the Search the Bible Box on the Site's main page to see how often the word is used in the KJV.

Patty ,thankyou so much ,that was lovely ,you are a star ,keep on shining !

May 1, 2021. Let everyone that knows the Glory of God, get into the word day to day for His Strength, Protection, and Love. For in these days we will surly need it. As our world goes faster and faster we will be rushing and worrying much. But to sit down and see the best in your life now, is a must to survive what this world of evilness will become. Get into Revelation reading. See each warning He showed us. Remember His promises. Never forget them. For no matter how bad it will get, your Heavenly Father will shine His Light upon you. His Son will come down fast with His Angels when we least expect it. He will fight for His children no matter how we had suffered. No matter how we are in that day, we will forget all the pain and suffering we went through as we see it all unfold as in the Word of the Bible comes clear to us at that moment. So now what do you do till that day comes upon us? You keep the Faith. You do good unto others, but most important you show and tell others that feel hopeless, about our awesome God that Loved us so much, He gave His only begotten Son to suffer and shed His blood for us, to be able in those days to come straight to His Father. Now this l just wrote is an awaking from my Father to write today. For our days are numbered. Do you understand now there is no more putting off. Just go after the Word. Learn, and be ready to be a warrior for our God....

Some scriptures you want to read slowly

John 3:16

For God so loved THE WORLD that he gave his only begotten Son, that WHOSOEVER believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Mishael Comment: God reveals himself to everyone. He has at some time in a persons life knocked on the door of their hearts, giving them them the faith to choose opening their hearts to receive.

Someone, at some time in our lives, has spoken of their faith in God, and we heard it. A friend, a relative, a Sunday church program on TV we flipped through, a billboard, someone's teeshirt in the grocery store, a bumper sticker....

Maybe a catastrophic accident that landed us or someone we love dearly, in the Hospital. We thought about loss, how do we live without them?

We get numerous chances to pause and consider the possibility of eternal something. Maybe God is real?

I've noticed that when something bad happens, that people often exclaim, "Oh God! Don't let this be."

Or, when we cut or burn ourselves in the kitchen, or a child is hurt playing; we grab the injured body part immediately (laying on hands)...

Everybody is being given chances to believe in the living God. TODAY if you receive that moment when God reaches out to you...harden NOT your heart. That's your moment. He's knocking on the door of your heart.

We all possess those "front door cameras" now, so we can see who is outside knocking. If it's someone we choose to pretend we aren't home: we don't open the door.

It's all about choices. It's not hard to respond to Gods calling. But do not think it's a deal you receive and then forget about 5 minutes later. It cost Jesus everything he had just to provide the opportunity to be a part of the Kingdom of God (heaven). Don't think Salvation is a cheap easy fix.

If you want to know more, go on YouTube and listen to some Greg Laurie sermons, if you don't know any favorite preachers? Once, I was lost as anyone can be. Let him come in.

Thank you Brother Richard. Keep our whole family in your prayers, we are grateful.

God bless your encouragements!

Just know yo are in my prayers brother Carleton. I am thankful you are ok and still in your home. Endure till the end my brother.

God Bless you.

Good morning Laura, even in our sins God loves us (all humankind) and has provided away for us to return that love in our surrender of our fleshly will in the beloved Son, Christ Jesus. He loves us still more yet to refine us to even a closer walk as Christians where our hearts burn to be with Him. There may be some who think they are forgotten but they are not, God knows each one perfectly and calls each one to Himself as their Father in Heaven. It is a choice to reach out to Him in Faith.

:)

Carleton, why does God only love some people

Recently I mentioned to Chris that I became interested in our local dam when it nearly failed. The event itself where we had to evacuate in 15 minutes to higher land was unreal and seemed impossible thinking of thousands fleeing ahead of us. We had one you g son that was about seven miles away that evening at a safer location than our home. We felt to stay home and pray especially since the one son was nearby but not with us. We called or heard from many friends and family and they all also extended prayers in our behalf. I spoke to my son on the phone how important it was for Him to carry on as a Christian if we were to lose our lives that night. The family that night at our home prayed that the overflow area of the dam would hold and that there would be more time for us to make decisions as a whole family the next day. We went to bed. I at least slept well. No loss of life occurred that night or the immediate following days. Our prayer was answered and we still live in the same home though we have been challenged with the events of the the two huge fires in our area where there was loss of life.

The point of this writing, although I was thankful to God in the saving grace, I also wanted like many to understand how this failure came to be and how it would be resolved. Here, although not very resistant but not completely peaceful I watched and participated in online discussion and contributed information that I could see with my own eyes since I was so close to the accident. Looking back now, I believe this was outside of God's Will in my life and as His child that would be giving new life to my old nature which I believe I can by God's grace call sin. I had long ago moved on from participating in discussions back into normal Christian life but I think now that I and the Lord, want to call my actions back then sin. I repent now, because I believe and want to be a nonresistant lamb by His still waters and pasture.

Carleton

Good morning all, thinking of how the Lord sanctifies those he loves for our common good that is only in Him. Glad to see the work in us continue even this day.

Serving what we went through means-- in the ending of time, how many chances did l have in doing what he gave you and which way you used what He gave you, at the time in your life it was given. Alot of my chances He gave me, l did not turn to the word to understand.

I turned to a person or reason of the darkness way of thinking of this world. I in turn lost what God had given me at that time. With understanding from my past ways, l now turn straight to the light of God's word, and stay away from the world's ways. It is totally Love for not only others but for yourself. For God is total Love!!! He wants the best for us.... Thank you for asking.

This is an excerpt from your comment, "For in the ending of time, we will only survive from remembering what we once had and miss used, from turning to the evilness of our world. "

Q: What did you mean by surving from what we once had and miss used?

Early morning 1:30am. God awoke me to read the Bible and His words. Our Lord knows what is coming to His people. He wants you to stop your hectic pace and fall back on His words. For in the ending of time, we will only survive from remembering what we once had and miss used, from turning to the evilness of our world. Wisdom in seeing what His word meant to us is what l have now. But long past, l was totally in this world of seeing. Many, many hard knocks came to me. But when the understanding came to me, many opportunities He gave me were forever lost. I ask every day for His chance to relive just one of them thru what He wanted of me. Then l will know how strong l am in His Light of strength, protection and wisdom, He had always given me. So if you see something you had asked God for form in front of you. Look into His word on the right way to act, before you turn to the evilness ways of this world. He Loves us so much, that He gave His Son to suffer on the cross for our sins. Why can't others see how evil this world really is- and turn to the One who created the start of it. He is waiting!!!

Is there any area of your life that is out of control?

A lack of self- control in any part of our lives does not fit who we are in Christ. His desire is that we live in full surrender to Him so that His Spirit can produce in us the fruit of self-control.

The flesh versus the Spirit.

Self-control requires that we think before we act.

We must have a strong desire to obey God.

We must believe in our hearts that the Holy Spirit who lives within us will enable us.

When we are tempted to yield to sin, we should ask ourselves these questions-

1. How will this affect me spiritually?

2. How will this affect me financially?

3. How will this affect my health?

How will it affect others how they will see me?

Never be deceived by the evilness of this world.

Stay Strong!!!

John 3:16

For God so Loved the world-

That He gave His only begotten Son-

That whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish, but have everlasting Love.

Love is trusting in our God--

Love is being faithful to your partner and familes-

Love is being kind and patient with the world around you-

Let us Love one another, for Love comes from God.

Everyone that Loves has been born of God, and knows God:

For He sent His one and only Son into the world that we might live through Him.

And in the end of our life and see His Father in Heaven, because of His sufferings on the cross for our sins in this world of evilness:

Psalms 147.3

He health the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.

This verse tells us that God ministers to us when we are brokenhearted-

And brings comfort and healing to our wounded hearts.

2 Corinthians 1:3

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort.

Thank you for the love which are admonishments Patty!

Keep the faith.

Have you ever praised God in this shortened life we are in now? For another day not yet promised. Have you looked around to see the homeless, hopeless, standing in front of you--and just walked on by? Didn't Jesus suffer for us to be the best we can? Think of your life now. What do you see? All the times God was protecting you, but because of self, went the opposite of what he wanted you to see. Wake up before it is too late. The judgement of your life is coming. Stand strong and help others as Jesus would of helped you. Get down on your knees and the word of the Bible will set you free.

Praise God daily for keeping you here another day-- waiting to see if you stay with Him or flee!!!

Hello Jason,

What that verse is declaring "and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:" is not that the Word of God to be changed. It is meaning the Scripture be used for those things upon "us people" to reform, correct, or instruct us in righteousness.

I also had that thought a while ago when reading that verse but it became clear.

Hope that helps. God Bless.

Jason,

What was it that disturbed you in 1 Timothy 3:16?

Where is it that says that it's okay to change the Word of God?

That Scripture states that all Scripture is breathed out by God and is profitable for

Doctrine--that is telling us truth about God, man, salvation etc.

Reproof--that is telling us what we are doing that's wrong.

Correction--that is telling us how to correct the direction of our lives like STOP doing this and START doing this.

Instruction in righteousness--that is how to live in right standing with God.

I was disturbed by a passage that was said to be Timothy 3:16 that stated:

Timothy 3:16 - " All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:"

This gives thought that it's ok to change the word. It's a sin to change the word of God.
