    I suppose this is what you are meaning.

    Acts 3:6 Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I (none); but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk.

    I Timothy 6:5 Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself. (6) But godliness with contentment is great gain.

    Romans 14:17 For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.

  • Everybody in here Loves You - In Reply on Genesis 1 - 2 years ago
    You need to go to Walmart or sometimes the Goodwill Stores:

    Find a King James Bible, hopefully with Red letters in the New Testament. They are not expensive.

    If we're fixing a huge project on our homes, we might stop and watch some videos or Google it. Some people even have DO-IT-YOURSELF Handbooks.

    You need to get a Bible and read 3 chapters a day. Pray over what you read. Ask Jesus when you have questions, or come back here. :D

    John 3, tells us how to be born again and receive the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. Jesus chooses US. He desires for us to discover the the God of this Bible. He is the definition of LOVE. Agape Love.

    He is your ABBA. That means your Daddy. You can approach Him with all your joys, fears, hopes and dreams of the future; and the crushing failures. We all do it. He picks us back up and loves us to wellness again.

    We walk away sometimes because of things we think will separate us from Him (sins). That's Why God gave Jesus to the world! He became our sin, so we could walk forward in His Righteousness, instead of our puny attempts at it.

    It's a whole new family, and the Bible tells us we are loved; accepted in the Beloved; part of the Family of God.

    We are his heirs. Ask for what you need, and then receive it. Matthew 4-5

    The Bible has 2 Testaments in it. Both were ratified in blood. The testator had to die for the Testament to be in force. Jesus gave all he had to be our Savior and Lord. He knows us inside and outside. He took all our sins and nailed them to his cross. He asks us to Come and believe on Him.

    He doesn't toss us out in the lake without teaching us to swim first :) We all came to Him the same way (real needy)

    There is a full Bible on this website__with Commentary; a link to "how to become a believer". Also other people have told their 'Testimonies' of how they came to Jesus.

    Check it out.

    We are a family in this room. All different. Some soft, and some animated. I love you all.

    Romans 12:16 - Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.

    Mark 7

    20 And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man.

    21 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,

    22 Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:

    23 All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.

    Please pray for myself and my husband .. we are married under God and not through the state.. I have been convicted lately to be married through the state .. our son has numerous health issues and will lose his insurance and I'm struggling with putting my faith In God. I need help and guidance.. I need to fully trust in him!
  • Cindy - In Reply - 2 years ago
    Dear Canada, we aren't God's robots, He gave us the freedom to choose our own path. We can choose to fall into temptation or to resist as it says in James 4:7 "Resist the devil, and he will flee from you." When Jesus was tempted in the wilderness, he didn't argue with the devil, he quoted scripture as in Matthew 4:10 "...for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve." I advise you to search the internet for a verse in the Bible that tells us not to do whatever you are being tempted to do and quote it with the temptation arises. Draw nigh to God and He will draw nigh to you. Start having daily devotions. Always confess your sins. If you are a born-again believer, He is always with you and willing to rescue you. Just ask. Mark 10:51 "And Jesus answered and said unto him, What wilt thou that I should do unto thee?..."

    God bless and keep you!

  • Recognizing Cults - In Reply - 2 years ago
    WHAT IS A CULT- The Dangers of False TeachingsThese groups do not lead to the Christ of the Bible, but to another Jesus and another gospel (2Cor.11:1-4; Gal.1:8,9).

    We must therefore reject these false teachings, and "earnestly contend for the faith which was once and for all delivered to the saints" (Jude3).

    And, of course, remember the Bible also goes on to admonish us that we must do this with gentleness, and with respect. Remember, you must present the message, but you need to recognize that it is only the Holy Spirit that changes the heart.

    WHAT IS A CULT- Psuedo-Christian CultsThese groups deny or distort fundamental Christian doctrines such as the Trinity, the deity of Christ, and salvation by grace through faith alone. Some cults that would fall into this category are the Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses, Christian Science, The Way International, and the Unity School of Christianity.

    Most of these cults claim to be Christian, and even consider the Bible to be authoritative. But they manipulate the Scriptures to fit their own beliefs. Although they may claim to serve Jesus Christ, and may even use the same terminology orthodox Christians use, their definitions are vastly different.

    There are two ways to define a cult. The first way to describe a cult is popular in the secular media. From this perspective, a cult is a religious or semi-religious sect whose members are controlled almost entirely by a single individual or by an organization.

    Compare everything to the Bible. A true Christian Church will not encourage sinful lifestyles. They will patiently teach the Truth and pray for the Holy Spirit to convict the persons heart.

    Jeremiah 17:9

    The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?

    Beloveds, for some the bottom line is money, popularity, and converts to their heretical teachings.

  • THE ENDS OF THE EARTH - In Reply - 2 years ago
    I hope this is what you were looking for. I know people say things like, "I'll love you to the ends of the earth."

    I'm not sure it's the same as scriptures. This is just a little slice of a larger pool of scripture. You might enjoy learning how to use the SEARCH ENGINE out on the red page where you come into this website.

    Even just remembering a part of a scripture, it will do its best to find everything with that hint.

    Acts 13:47

    For so hath the Lord commanded us, saying, I have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for salvation unto the ENDS OF THE EARTH.

    Romans 10:18

    But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world.

    1 Corinthians 10:11

    Now all these things happened unto them for examples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.

    2 Peter 3:7

    But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto FIRE against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.

    Revelation 1:7

    Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.

    Revelation 5:3

    And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon.

    Mark 16:15

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

I'm just the same as everyone else , two eyes one brain and one heart , all I do is try to keep them open and connect the dots , anyone can do that , some times I get it very wrong smiley face , i do love to be provoked by others view points even if I don't agree with everything some one says , there can still be little gems in their posts .

  • Tianyuying on Revelation 6:6 - 2 years ago
    The beast that came out of the sea is symbol of the Greek culture,substitute of Satan,Sea is symbol of the human world of the overseas,of the nations, not of the western countries:the Renaissance Greek culture,with tints of the other three great cultures of the world, namely, Confucianism, Buddhism and Islamism.-----the Antichrist

    The beast that came out of the earth is a product of the western land proper, a prophet, a spokesperson for the Renaissance Greek culture, whose name is 666, of which the basic grammar of the greek language, the declensions of the Greek noun: singular, dual, plural,masculine, faminine and neutral, there is one 6. The conjugtion of the Greek verb are:present, past, future, perfect, imperfect and aorist, the secons 6. The Greek verb has six moods, which are:indicative, imperative,subjunctive, optative, infinitive,and participle, a third 6. put them together, that is 666. In the end days, one without of the basic knowledge of the Renaissance Greek language cannot sell, that is, to produce, to write, to show to others,neither can buy, that is to acquire, to understand,to....

    At the end, the world will be unified into one cullture, one way, one value, the value that is "Man is measure of everything", for the end time people, no norm, no dogma, no rule, what man likes is the value-----the Antichrist?

    Matthew 23:9, call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father which is in heaven. Matthew 23, please read whole chapter, it actually corrects several Christian churches & leadership titles.

    John 14:6, Acts 4:10-12,

    1Timothy 4:1-3, false to teach forbidding to marry, 1Corinthians 7:28, 1Corinthians 7:2-6, by leaving these out of teaching & allowing into ministry, only the supposed abstainer may have perpetrated the horrible stain in that part of the Church today.

    Hopefully these are helpful in this discussion

    The day of Christ is as close to you as the day of your death . You will die ( loose consciousness and cease to be alive at all ) the very next thing that you will be aware of is the return of Christ , this can happen to you any day , in the blinking of an eye , one second you are here , the next second , which in earthly times might be twenty years from now , you will be awakened to judgement and hopefully everlasting life Daniel Ch 12 V 1-3 .
  • FIVE FOLD MINISTRY OF JESUS - In Reply - 2 years ago
    Describe what you remember. Is is about business, Christianity or a Buddhist teaching?

    The Bible teaches about the 5 fold ministry about the purposes of ministers/ministry in the Church of Jesus Christ: Apostles, Prophets, Teachers, Pastors, Evangelists. Called by the Holy Spirit and equipped and anointed for the tasks. In this modern day, the office of apostle is done through missionaries who move to regions all around the earth, and do what Jesus did: call those in the community to help build the church (not in lumber and nails),

    At first to "build the church" within the hearts of the people. The church is not in a huge church in Rome or other places like that. Jesus built his church WITHIN people/men/women. The Bible shows us that after Jesus ascended to Heaven; the Disciples were made Apostles. They were anointed to build Jesus's Church into a whole new group of Disciples. Through them, Jesus calls people to FOLLOW HIM, and become a disciple; a student in the Bible Teachings.

    Jesus spent considerable time teaching about God, Christian ministry, and building his church in the hearts/minds of his followers. The Bible is the Word. Jesus's Name is, the Word of God. He is the 2nd person of the Godhead ( Romans 1). His name at birth is Immanuel (God With Us), on earth.

    His Disciples went forth teaching Jesus to communities; building into them His Teachings. In time they were sent into the world to build the Church.

    In our world now, we see there are many who call themselves Apostles on tv. Possibly false. Be aware.

    Missionaries go out into all of the world, where GOD has sent them, and they lay the foundation of the Church into their disciples. This world is becoming more against Christ (antichrist spirit) and it can be hazardous.

    Even if a church is built in secret, the purposes are the same. Teach Jesus, build new Churches locally.

    Google your question, and I hope you come back here.

    Love, in Christ

  • Suze - In Reply - 2 years ago
    Wow , thank you , you have given me a lot to think about and I really enjoyed your post , thank you again . I am definately a bit sensitive if I think some one is leaning a bit towards astrology but of course the Bible does use the sun and moon metaphorically . I think the first time is in Genesis with Joseph's dream of the sun and moon and twelve stars , if I remember , Jacob interprets them to mean Joseph's mother , he himself Jacob and Joseph's brethren . Interesting to note that the european union chose twelve stars as the symbol on its flag and more than once we hear of the stars falling , just a thought . God also promises that the sun and moon will not be needed in His Kingdom . Thank you again for your post , you can be sure I shan't take it lightly and I will read your references and give thought to all you have said , much appreciated , much love in Christ .
  • Chris - In Reply - 2 years ago
    That sounds like an excuse to establish biblical support for homosexuality. Jesus did not speak of abortion or same-sex marriage either. But Jesus did reveal God's creation & plan for all humanity and this He did in Matthew 19:4-6: "And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder."

    The understanding was clear to the Pharisees who wanted to test Jesus on the matter of divorce. And it should be clear to us also that God's creation of mankind was male & female & that at the appropriate time they would leave home & begin a new family (a male husband & female wife) with children following. And this union was so special that they would be regarded as 'one flesh' (separate in body, but united together in love, commitment, purpose, & spirit, that no one should pull apart). It was never in creation, that those of the same sex should join together as was intended for man & woman. If such folk are inclined towards each other, they should know that such a pursuit only leads to sin which is then compounded. Rather, they must turn away, suffer loneliness, seek after God's help & healing, just as a sinner with a lust for theft, adultery or substance abuse must also do. Our sinful needs or desires don't alter God's righteous Plan for us & doesn't cause Him to overlook our sins.

  • Adam - In Reply - 2 years ago
    The Bible clearly says its wrong in a number of places. The Bible is God's Word and it's in writing, so there's no question about what God thinks about it. Is the person's goal to follow God or the world? You can't do both.

    The spoken thing by Jesus is just a tactic to zero in on someone uttered precise words and if not then [insert false assumption]. I don't think many people genuinely fall for those tactics. Surely somewhere is a person's heart they know they are lying to themselves.

    Someone could use that same tactic to fake-justify almost any sin they desire. "Jesus didn't say anything about the internet, therefore it's ok that I ____ online." or "God the Father didn't say the exact words of ___, therefore, it must be ok that I _____".

    You don't need to be a scholar to lovingly share the truth and refute a lie. Just flip to those parts in the Bible about homosexuality. If you search that word you will find lists of verses about it. God bless.
  • Age is the Voice of Wisdom Too - In Reply - 2 years ago
    You've been given the truth in scriptures. I turned 71 a few days ago. Life is long. We live well beyond the mistakes and the memories of sins we committed, right in Gods face. HE IS LOVE. He's not a mean looking, disapproving, old crusty, buzz kill on what people are experimenting with now.

    He looks away, until you come to the end of those days in your life. He gives us time to repent and be disgusted with what that lifestyle offered. People say they love you today; but they walk out of our lives in the end. Years pass, and the memory of them just makes you angry, or you grieve__for years.

    Life is always in motion. Moving rapidly towards my age, and beyond. The memories of sin, always stings; hurts.

    Gods has/had plans for us. Plans for good things, pleasant memories. This world is advancing rapidly to the end of it. We see it on tv and in media, with our own eyes. Choose Jesus's Way now.

    You may lose some friends; but you will gain so much more. "WAY" is one of His names. The WAY-the Truth-the LIFE. He gives you all you will ever need if you will trust Him?

    The Bible has a verse somewhere about us returning to our own vomit, to eat of it again. Sounds really gross to me. We do that (I did), until we figure out it's unpleasant and gross. No one and no thing is with doing that for

    Jesus offers us blessings, peace, and recreates our life if we ASK Him to. Our hearts know the right way to go. Will we choose that? I'm not going to give 30 scriptures of condemnation. Most of us know when we are skating on the edge of disaster.

    If you pursue God with all of your strength, you will arrive at forgiveness__and all of the Love your heart ever dreamed of finding. Stay on course & don't allow Satan opportunities to destroy your life. He hates us.

    Jesus does love you. Take His hand and don't look backwards. He is Alive. Ask Him into the throne room of your heart. Worship him.

  • Chris - In Reply on 1 Peter 1 - 2 years ago
    No Martha, the Holy Spirit and the Spirit of Christ are one & self-same Spirit. We understand this because of the Deity of the Spirit (i.e. the Holy Spirit is a vital Person within the Godhead, or Trinity), & by the procession of the Spirit (i.e. the Spirit proceeding from both the Father & the Son, without any change or division in God's Nature).

    a. the Spirit's Deity.

    Proven by His Names (Equality: 1 Corinthians 6:11; Doing the Work of God: Romans 8:15; John 14:16).

    Proven by His Characteristics (All-knowing: 1 Corinthians 2:10,11; Everywhere: Psalm 139:7; All-powerful: Genesis 1:2; Truth: 1 John 5:6; Holiness: Luke 11:13; Life: Romans 8:2; Wisdom: Isaiah 40:13).

    Proven by His Works (In creation: Genesis 1:2; Inspiration: 2 Peter 1:21; Begetting Christ: Luke 1:35; Convincing men: John 16:8; Regenerating: John 3:5,6; Comforting: John 14:16; Interceding: Romans 8:26,27; Sanctifying: 2 Thessalonians 2:13).

    Proven by His equality with the Father & Son ( Acts 5:3,4; Matthew 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14).

    b. the Spirit's Procession.

    Proceeded from the Father ( John 15:26).

    Proceeded from the Son ( Galatians 4:6; Romans 8:9; John 16:7).

    So, I hope you can see that the Holy Spirit, whether spoken of God or of Jesus, is the same Spirit, for He is one with the Father & the Son. Then when we come to 1 Corinthians 12:13, "For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit", again the one & same Holy Spirit is seen here, but we now see His special work where His coming into our lives, affects our spirits and baptizes us (brings us into union) with the whole family of God (into one Body, i.e. of Christ).
