Hi Tracy,

The Truth is always found in the bible scripture.

Paul wasn't the first one, nor the only one who preached the Gospel to the Gentiles. According to Acts, Peter was the first to preach the Gospel to the Gentiles. Peter received a vision from the Lord and received a command to preach to the Gentiles in the house of Cornelius the gentile. The Gentiles were filled with the Holy Spirit and were baptized.

Also, I agree with sister GiGi the scripture teaches us that Paul teaches the same gospel as Jesus. Here are some additional Bible verses telling us that the "Gospel of The Kingdom of God" which is Jesus Christ's Gospel, was preached to the entire world.

Mark 16:15

"And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature."

Mark 13:10

"And the gospel must first be published among all nations."

Matthew 28:19

"Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:"

Acts 1:8

"But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth."

Revelation 14:6

"And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,"

Happy Sabbath Day, and God Bless!

I prayed with you Sandra. Amen.

Take care. Agape.

Thank you God will bless you

Hey Tracy,

We see in Matt. 10:6 Jesus told His disciples not to go to the Gentiles and Matt. 15:24 He confirms He first came for the lost sheep of Israel. Jesus came to fulfill the law and the prophets.

Why did Jesus say, "I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel"? Other scripture also says the Jew first, Luke 24:47 Acts 3:25-26 Romans 1:16 Romans 2:9-10 and more, for what reason? To fulfill prophecy.

The Prophecy is the 70-week prophecy that many places the last week in the future. This prophecy was for the house of Israel/Judea and Jerusalem, Daniel 9:24 and these 70 weeks were determined to finish the transgression, make an end of sins, make reconciliation for iniquity, bring in everlasting righteousness, seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.

From when Jesus was baptized until He was crucified was 3 1/2 years, John recorded the Passovers Jesus went to and Jesus was crucified on the fourth. These 3 1/2 years Jesus was confirming the covenant, to save the lost sheep of the house of Israel. The entire prophecy was about the coming of the Messiah that the leaders rejected.

Verse 25 tells the time the Messiah would come, verse 26 tells the Messiah would be cut off and the destruction of the city and temple, and in verse 27 he in this verse is the Messiah and the week of confirming the covenant, in the middle of the week 3 1/2 years Jesus cut off/ crucifixion, the final sacrifice, ending the animal sacrificial law. In the last half of the week, Jesus through His apostles confirmed the covenant in Jerusalem.

We see in Acts 7 the key verse is Acts 7:57, the cried out and stopped their ears with one accord, then the great persecution of the church that ended the 70-week prophecy. Shortly after Peter had his dream and Jesus appeared to Saul/Paul and the gospel was sent to the Gentiles the branch broke off but it will be grafted back in.

This is short but may you study it, I am sure many will disagree.

God bless,

RLW

Hello Chris:

I respectfully do understand your point of view. This topic as we know had been discussed and debated for sure many many times in the past. What men learned from history is that men never learned. We are where we are today because of men doing. I simply have chosen the path of God through prayers and supplications and daily Bible reading to feed my soul. Anyone can do the same or follow what men said in the past. We are in the last days. God needed strong soldiers who would follow God's will, please God and not men.

I strongly follow the path of God. I humbly can say am very appreciative of the outcome thus far. I have no authority to make or even attempt to persuade someone to believe what I believe. God knows we ought to believe ONLY God. I took all readings seriously when God opened my heart and mind to the truth. In my own experience I took everything seriously anyway as if I am serving God. He gave me a job to understand the beginning and ending of any transaction. I became a Corporate Auditor of one of the three biggest companies in the world. I say this not to brag or convinced anybody but to magnify how serious we (all) need to be when it comes to making any conclusion. Times are tough. We listen to all men you will be frustrated time and time again. Don't get me wrong. I love to listen to ALL men and women. They all have very great things to say. But ultimately, I have chosen to listen to God. God never fail. Now I can assured you that my paths were not pretty here on earth, because I am still in my corruptible fleshy filthy body. Now I just simply walk in spirit as we are told to do by God. Very difficult I must say but we must do in order to carry on the will of God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

So applying prudent logic in choosing my conclusion, I simply read all given facts presented to humanity. The entire Bible is so magnificent book to read. The truth is presented to us.. Let the Holy Spirit guide us.

1st and 2nd Esdras are definitely ordained scripture. Do your research. In 1611 the King James Bible was transliterated into different languages (published) it originally had 80 books. Two and seventy years later the Protestants took it out because they realized that the Bible was only for one people and one people only the Israelites so to say it's not scripture or wasn't accepted is blasphemy. Those 14 books to include the Esdras books were in the original Bible for 270 years. The Romans ie the Protestants took it out to confuse the people. If this verse was in the Bible in 1611 when it was published explain why the 14 books lasted for 270 years and then removed

"And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book."

Revelation 22:19 KJV

Explain that.don't go anywhere else.explain that and that only!!!!!

Hellow Dgjot.

Only God knows what is in the heart of people, we cannot judge since many times we have been proved wrong.

When I actually believed in Jesus, God opened my eyes to see the truth, it was like there was a cover around me and somebody pulled that away and suddenly a bright light turned on and saw the world as it actually is, not how I thought it were, with a different perception. Although I knew all those things about faith and Jesus and eternal life and the Hebrew history from school, we get tought them in school over here, actually it was like we were learning some kind of mythology or ancient tales and stories, nothing really got inside our heart. We had a sort of vague belief about God. There are lots of people here that love Jesus Christ but they never heard of new birth, baptism in the Spirit, or they consider these were only in the early times, don't take place in the church any more. They worship saints and angels and Mary and many other things just because they were taught that this is the proper way to serve God. Many of them are born again but don't know it. Others think that they are OK since they don't steal, don't kill, as if only these are sins. Others especially the new generations follow the corruptive ways of the world because they think this is progressive now, Christianity is a past thing. If one tries to talk to them about Jesus the way they don't know, they reject him thinking that all those strange things coming from abroad are going to spoil their true(?) faith. I think its the same in all the southern Europe, Italy, Spain, southern France, Portugal, the Balkans etc. People love God but they are trapped in their traditions and denominations. In the North people are completely atheists. I once lived in England for a while and I was surpised that people never even mention God in no case. They don't know Jesus even as a story. How sad. People think they move forward but are moving toawards their distraction. God help us.

Blessed w/e.

what is the definition of Pitiful in 1Peter 3.8 ?

I understand and I appreciate your honesty. You seem like a very dear soul and I respect and honor your beliefs. Thank you for your reply.

Dear John, I pray that God heals your ex-wife. I pray that He will lead you to a shelter out of the weather and on to a place to live. Just keep looking; He will open a door.

I have read ODB for a number of years, even though it apparently uses other bible versions than the KJV. This morning I believe the Lord pricked me to make my first ever comment to concerning Our Daily Bread (ODB). The ODB reading in the Bible this morning main them was charity, not love. Although close, these two attributes are like apples and oranges.

I know it's difficult to see. And perhaps more difficult to accept. But I was raised on the campus of a fundamentalist Christian university. We were required to memorize and hand write in cursive and sometimes calligraphy entire passages of scripture. The Mandela effects are plentiful in scripture. Research the twelve tribes of Israel. And, yes, it will show the changed text in every translation you can find. But you will find the original passage in books, like I did in John Eldridge's and Henri Nouwen's. The effects go beyond scripture. Do you recall the children's series "The Berensein Bears"? My sister married and had three children with someone whose name was almost identical to that and also ends in "stein." Of course I would remember that correctly as my two children do. But if you research it, you will be told that you are "misremembering" it if you disagree. That's what makes it so mysterious and unexplainable. Perhaps God is trying to get our attention to not make assumptions about everything we've been led to believe from the pulpit about The Bible. Perhaps God is disappointed with The Church, it's divisiveness and "othering." Perhaps it is God's subtle message to us to ultimately check our hearts for truth. To be still. To "go within" to find the Kingdom of Heaven. I can't speak for others, but for me, when I was an active member of my church, there was very little time for contemplation and inner work. And I believe that is why the pandemic was allowed. It forced us into solitude. Many have been awakened because of it. I'm only saying that it's always wise to keep an open mind in our search for truth. But Christianity is the only religion that I'm aware of where questioning is disallowed. Think of the implications of that. What other systems do you see that playing out in in the world? It's time for sober reflection and wisdom IMO. Thank you for your reply.

Dear Donna, I pray that God gives you safe, anxiety-free travels and that your test comes back negative for cancer. Donna, if you are a born-again Christian, your sins are forgiven; ask Him to forgive you each time you have sinned, and for the sins you've forgotten and the ones you aren't aware of committing--and move on in the joy of 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.

Hi Ronnette. The figures of speech in prophecy can be many with various interpretations. We tend to apply it to what we know or what we think is a problem. Just a few scriptures and thoughts on Rev. 17,18. A whore or harlot in the scripture is one who has many lovers (sources of affection). Just the wording to me suggests it is a church that lost their first love and fallen away from the truth."Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird". Notice the word "become" (she wasn't at one time) and is "fallen" (was standing at one time). Another verse to consider Verse 7: she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow. Interpretation: "I sit a queen" she thinks she is married to the King. "am no widow" her husband is alive (risen). "shall see no sorrow" (nothing I do will lose this standing) "eternal security." Just some thoughts that has come over the years.

I have been married to my husband for 13 years. He has an addiction problem that causes him to leave our home several times a month. He constantly withdraws money out of our account throughout the time he's gone. Luckily I have access to his card and can turn it off before it overdrafts. He goes through a series of emotions that includes resentment towards me because I don't condone nor fund his behavior, then regret and lack of admitting there is a problem. I am concerned even more now because he acquired a loan to buy a car and I feel that will make everything worse for us. I am honestly at my wits end and don't know what to do. We need food, bills paid and essentials and I am stuck with the responsibility of providing these. I work as a Sped Monitor and barely make $900 a month. We are paid this way to cover summer month's. Due to my disabilities this is the easiest job for me. Please for me.

Thank-You !!

If he went to fight Goliath with a sword, should he expect to put him down with the first hit? Not really, I think

please remember me and my family in your prayers

Quick one to the rest for I'm out of time but want each and everyone of you to know I read several. God will hear our prayers, well if you repented and have His son in your heart (reborn). Not that he doesn't love each and everyone of us but Sorry to say He doesn't hear the prayers of sinners John 9:31. So if you haven't asked Jesus to forgive you and to came in your heart yet please do so now. then pray your hearts out and He will hear you. Remember, unanswered prayers are His way of giving you what you need in His time. If He answers at all. Sometimes we go through hard times longer to grow more and learn how to except and use the gifts He gives us, so be patient and slow to anger if He doesn't answer in your time. "Heavenly Father I ask that you be with each and everyone of these prayers tonight Lord. Let them know how much you love them and want them to be nearer to you daily. Heal each and everyone of them. Your will be done for them all Lord. In Jesus precious name Amen.!" Not sure why I felt led to say that about sinners yet I felt the urge to, while reading them all, so I did. usually urges, intuition and gut feelings are Gods way of stopping or starting you from doing what He wants for you instead. God bless Y'all.

Heavenly Father thank you for your Son Jesus and all that you do for us sinners. Lord I ask that you please be with this young mother, her mom and her baby boy! Heavenly Father let them know you made us perfect in everyway Lord and our immune system and the power of prayer can do wonders for us. It has brought ppl back from the dead it for sure can get them through this if they ask in your name Lord. Help them to get through this and heal them all Lord for they need to know your all power. Let them know your there and will never leave them Father. Once healed allow her boy to gain weight..give her back her smell and taste so she can do her job you were so graciously gave her in making things smell so good in this stinky world. Lord only you can heal them so when they pray Father lift them up and get them through this very soon. Your will be done Lord..In Jesus precious name Amen.!

Isaiah 49:15

"But Zion (nowdays all of us) said, The LORD hath forsaken me, and my Lord hath forgotten me.

Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee.

Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls (and your lives) are continually before me."

Be encouraged. If God is with us who can be against us? ( Rom 8:31)

Have a blessed weekend.

Heavenly Father thank you for sending your son to die for our sins, each and ever one of them past, present and future. Let Aaron know how much you love him Lord. Help him to be a better husband and dad to said child (ren) so their brought up knowing you and serving you Lord. Father I ask that you take his addiction away from him allowing him to heal so he can do your will in his life and keep his faith strong Lord. Oh keep his faith strong! In Jesus precious name Amen.! , keep faith

Dear brother/sister

Its the Holly Spirit that "makes" or creates " things. God (both The Father and The Son) always make things through His HS. He (HS) is the person who executes the will, the commands of God. As a man uses his hands to make something, God uses His Spirit, that's why in the Bible, especially in OT, the HS is often called the hand or arm of God.

Jesus in His earthly life performed miracles and casted out demons by the Spirit of God. The Apostles too, we too. Its always the HS

GBU

Dearest Donna, Let me be the first to say..."You Are Forgiven" and as for the healing well, that depends on how fast you can let go of the past and move on. Jesus took all our sins when He died on the cross and as soon as we believe that, thank Him and except Him in our hearts, we can begin to heal in life. It took me yrs. I'm so grateful I finally let go. Our physical body may be in disarray but if we allow Him in our spiritual body will heal more and more, it gets easier and easier. "Heavenly Father I thank you for your son Jesus! Lord I ask that you keep Donna's mind strong and her will to heal even stronger Lord. Let her know your with her always and all she needs to do is pray with all her heart for healing and your will be done. Lord I ask that you find a way to cover her travel expenses and free her anxiety that life brings in at times. Heavenly Father please get her through through the test she is having and keep an Angel by her side comforting her till she is home safely. Lord we know YOU are the peace that passes all understanding knowing all, things the Doctors don't even know. You and only you Lord can get her through this please send a legend of Angels. BELIEVE AND RECEIVE Gods healing for you Donna, I ask these things in Jesus precious name Amen.!

One Eighty Gods word says what it means and means what it says so create and made in action are different. To create is to

speak something into existance which never existed before. To make something is to produce with what is already in existance

i.e. a potter with clay and water, when a plant is grown you have seed soil water and air. Only God can create.

Tracy Jesus Christ and Paul taught the same gospel because in practice its summed up in 1Corinthians 13 which sums

up walking by the spirit or agapeo the love of God in the renewed mind or mathew 22:37-40.

May God grant you your prayers Donna . Much love in Christ .
