Amen Thank you Our Father

Jealousy caused him to murder his brother.

Abel's sacrifice was a blood offering to God.

Cain was a farmer. His offering was not out of abundance of the heart. He held back from abundance, and God did explain why his offering was not accepted. Rather than please God, he simmered in anger and resentment until jealousy was in full bloom; he murdered Abel. Abel's blood cried out to God.

I guess when failures bubble up into resentment, is the time to stop everything and forgive; especially when we are blaming someone else. Blame is a flame that doesn't go out_until we forgive.

Hello, no it doesn't. Slavery was a world problem and still is today. Today slaves- sometimes children- are even allowed to be trafficked into the US and the administration actually removed part of the border wall to make this easier for criminals to enter.

Some assume the Bible condones it because it has verses addressing slaves to be respectful of others. Colossians 4:1. This applies to everyone of course.

There is another angle on this: in the Bible days some voluntarily became "slaves" in order to pay off debt. Voluntarily doing work is closer to a job than slavery in my opinion, but I believe some call it that. If its 100% against someone's will then I think its slavery, but if someone voluntarily chooses something even if they perceive to not have many choices, then it it's a job. Some worked years for men in order to gain rights to marry a man's daughter, for instance.

This verse suggests that is someone is caught trafficking slaves to put them to death: Exodus 21:16. Other Bible verses like love your neighbor as yourself refute the myth that the Bible supports slavery. The message of Christianity is freedom, not slavery. The truth is true, regardless of what the evil world claims or thinks. Some will prefer the lie, because its more attractive to them. Lots of myths would be cleared up if people just read through the Bible.

Amen Shaa Rei:

Do you KNOW YOUR NEW NAME?

Isaiah 62:2 And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory; and thou shall be called by a NEW NAME, which the mouth of the LORD shall name.

Revelation 2:17 He that hath an ear, let him hear what he saith to the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a NEW NAME written, which no man KNOWETH SAVING he that receiveth it.

Revelation 3:12 And he that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall no more go out, and I will WRITE UPON HIM THE NAME OF MY GOD, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him MY new NAME.

You are baptised into THE NAME OF JESUS.

You are the BODY OF CHRIST.

Ephesians 4:4 ONE BODY and ONE SPIRIT .....

God Bless You.

In the East objects are carried in the bosom which Europeans "carry in the pocket. To have in one's bosom indicates kindness," "secrecy, or intimacy ( Gen. 16:5; 2 Sam. 12:8). Christ is said to" "have been in "the bosom of the Father," i.e., he had the most" "perfect knowledge of the Father, had the closest intimacy with" "him ( John 1:18). John (13:23) was "leaning on Jesus' bosom" at" "the last supper.

Our Lord carries his lambs in his bosom, i.e. has a tender, watchful care over them ( Isa. 40:11).

I truly believe the Lord had an angel walk your little one to your room. It's precious and terrifying.

My 4yr old and I were swimming in a creek on the 4th of July when he was 4. He was with the grandparents and he saw me. I was sitting in a limestone slide. He took off running for me as I let go and went over the little falls into 5' of water. I turned just in time to see him go over the falls. I pulled him up immediately but I saw the terror in his face. I wasn't going to let him be afraid of water. We sat on a raft by the bank until he quit crying. I said I will always save you when you fall. He was never afraid of water again.

Our daily prayers for our kids, go with them.

Especially these days we have to protect them from addiction to internet; no matter how much they protest.

Hi Leon, I can try answering your questions.

First question: church organizations are not free government services, but cost lots of money to exist: building, property, taxes, utilities, maintenance, staff, like ministers who do that full time also have to have money to live. Members help pay for this. It's not wrong to ask members and attendees to pay a fair share, to contribute and not just be a parasite. Most do not coerce and some don't even ask. There is Biblical support to ask people to support churches.

Second question: most churches don't show Jesus in any likeness or representation, because of verses like: Exodus 20:4-5. When I see pictures of Jesus online they are not in fancy clothes. In fact I have never seen that. What church denomination are you referring to that shows such pictures?

Third question: I'm beginning to think you are talking about catholicism by chance? Because the answer to your 3rd question is the Christian churches who follow the Bible don't not do that. It's wrong to worship Mary and the Pope, and no one else comes between you and the father, but Jesus. John 14:6. God bless.

Understandable! God impresses on everyone differently according to what His plan for them is. sometimes I ramble, mixing my words and say things I didn't mean to come out that way, forgive me. The first day of the week, Sunday, the Lord's Day ( Revelation 1:10) celebrates the New Creation, with Christ as our resurrected Head. We are not obligated to follow the Mosaic Sabbath-resting, but are now free to follow the risen Christ-serving. God bless always

Azaraiah, Abednego

When we are born , we are given a name.

And when we are Bon again... a new name is given to us.

He that KNOWETH My name shall be saved.

we see trials came and tribulations took Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah from their Lands of origin.

So also, in trials and tribulations , we too must seek our new name.

And we see the new names given to them Belteshazzar, shadrach, meshach and Abednego,

As they entered the new kingdom,

And sort the LORD GOD ALMIGHTY,

they were found of Him

Glory to GOD the Father forever,

Indeed and without any doubt whatsoever,

CHRIST JESUS IS THE WAY

why was cane an evil person?

If we would realize how great our God (Jesus Christ) is . According to Ephesians 4:5 1LORD,1 FAITH, 1 BAPTISM. There would not be so much confusion in who God is. There is over 2000 different religions? Why ? There is only 1God 1 Lord 1Faith 1baptism . What I am trying to say is we believe the Bible like we should and stop following traditions. There wouldn't be so much confusion in the Church organization. The confusion should be out in the World. Our Lord is Jesus Christ, Our faith is based on the Apostles doctrine. One baptism Acts 2:38 Than Peter said unto them Repent and be baptized everyone of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Than we can thank God who he really is. David I really believe in this chapter knew God is one , and one Lord. That's why He had such a great relationship with God before trouble came he knew God. Than when we get in a place of trouble we know what our God - JESUS CHRIST CAN do, He's my Sword my shield,my deliver. I want tell a testimony that happen awhile ago. In a large city of 850,000 people. We went out to eat, than came back to our Hotel . Our daughter and her family stay at one end of Hotel,were the stairs is. My wife and I at the other end. So about 15minutes pass by ,we our about to lay down. I hear a small tap at the door. ,I was by the door already,

I look at my wife and said to her did you hear that ? I answer it ! I said who is it ? This little voice said it's me! I opened the door,to my surprise its our youngest granddaughter . She looked frighten,so we said were's your Mom ? My wife took a look outside the room,Hm no one there. So we thought they dropped her by to get some rest. My wife took her back to our Daughter & Son n Law room. Didn't realize she slipped out. From that moment they were in shock thinking what could of happened. My wife came back to our room & told me that they were all asleep,she WALK out.We gave God praise for his MERCY!

Wow hold on I never said Salvation depends on keeping the Sabbath.i said for ME keeping the 10 commandments is a truth that God has impressed on ME not for salvation but because he said if you love me keep my commandments. Blessings

Thanks for the incouragement. Blessings to you and your family.

I enjoyed reading the Bible, I have no comments at this moment.

Why is the churches always asking and collecting money?

Why do the church always dress Jesus's in fancy clothing?

Why does the church always dress Jesus's, Mother Mary and the Angels with gold, silver and diamonds?

Again thank you, I was made to watch pornography on my TV. I was sick dehydrated and confused. This behavior has happened before. I t was disgusting and more importantly they know who done it. And nobody got me a lawyer. I was abused humiliated and so was god. Ephesians chapter 5. Rebuked them and cable TV. Next is my phone. I had to get off Facebook because pornography was sent tobmy email. There let me starve and then over fed me. I have been victimized by this. I tried them in my front yard and window I was in trouble instead the kept being mean. I think I pornography came from the next door. Nothing like making somebody feel bad about themselves. Woman better looking than me showeing off how are pretty they are. And calling me ugly. Thank you god bless you.

Neighbors mocking people and picking fun of them. Such things a slave labor laws.

Thank you so much. I prayed and prayed. God sent me on a trail and found this about pleading the blood of jesus. So much thank you. Prayers to help.

Good Morning Thomas,

Below is a daily devotion from InTouch.org. I believe it will help and encourage you to overcome your harmful desire to eat. You don't have to be a victim. Give your troubles and cares to the Lord and know He has a plan for your life. God bless you Thomas.

2 Samuel 11:1-5

Temptations can come at any time, but they are especially dangerous in periods of weakness because that's when we're more prone to yield. The Scriptures are filled with descriptions of men and women who sinned against the Lord in moments of vulnerability. These true stories are given to us for our instruction so we can learn from the mistakes of others ( 1 Corinthians 10:11).

While temptations come in a variety of forms, they follow a similar pattern. David's sin is a good example of this. His eye looked, his mind desired, and his will acted. Resistance is difficult in the best of times, but it's even more of a struggle during periods of anger, emptiness, idleness, or isolation-and that was the case for David, who should have been in battle instead of in Jerusalem ( 2 Samuel 11:1). At the end of the day, no matter what's creating the vulnerability, each person is responsible for his or her own actions.

In times of weakness, remember the acronym "HALT." Don't let yourself become too hungry, angry, lonely, or tired. Most importantly, fix your attention on the Lord and draw strength from Him through prayer. Use Scripture to guard your mind, and the Lord will give you victory over temptation.

I am Praying for you, ask God Almighty to bring Jesus Christ into you life, I use to Drink and use Drugs and almost lost my family, I was feeling like if the world was in top of me, but The LORD God Almighty came to my needs, because I could not do it by myself, and I except Jesus Christ into my Life, and my life change, I don't Drink Alcohol or use Drugs of any kind Thanks to My God Almighty, and He will never let you down. God bless you always. In Jesus Christ name. Amen, Amen and Amen!

Will God forgive suicide

Hi Wanda.

Here's just my opinion, Hopefully others can help.

I believe it's prayer not a particular verse to meditate on is what's needed. However God may cause you to remember verse you have read or send a message or messenger to you, but I personally believe your focus should be on prayer and let God provide you the fruit needed for your request such as Forgiveness, Longsuffering, ect. these are things we can't manifest ourselves. I will say this, God knows what you need before you ask.

God bless.

Hi , some one recently asked about an age of accountability but I can't find exactly where so I shall answer here if thats ok , just going from what God Himself has said in the Old Testament , these things may be worth consideration : Israelites were not permitted to go to war until they were twenty years old , Levites were not lowed to help carry the Tabernacle until they were twenty five years old and Levites were not permitted to perform priestly duties such as offering sacrifices etc until they were thirty years old and , the adults that wandered the dessert for forty years were not allowed to enter the promised land but their 'children ' of twenty years old and under were allowed to enter the promise land .

Please pray for me, I'm a backslider, I have fallen away. Please pray for me to get back to the LORD, I don't know if I'm saved anymore. Also, please pray for me to be a good friend to my friends, and to help win my lost friends to Christ.

Plz pray for healing of my Niece Vickie . Total healing of cancer for Gods glory and Honor! Thanks

Hi Texsis.

Thanks for replying.

I believe the question is, "is water baptism ESSENTIAL for salvation?" No! It's the Holy spirit that gives life to a sinner dead in trespasses and sin.

Ephesians 1:22- Ephesians 2:1 "And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church,

Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all. And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins."

I was water baptized, it was ritual and pointed to what has already taken place once I believed. I was put into the body of believers by the spirit."

Now whatever good I do is by the power of the Holyspirit. that is what the baptism is all about. A NEW LIFE! The focus is on the resurrection! By which way were we given new life?

Therefore, we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. Romans 6:4.

The disciples were given a command to go out teach all nations baptizing them, which was a dispensational teaching. "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Matt 28:19.

What we have here is a picture of those being saved grafted into the genuine vine, one that gives life and produces fruit as seen in john 15:1-5. And Paul hammers at this in Romans 11.

The emphasis is on the Holyspirit empowering the believer.

God bless.

I need a school psychologist job. Haven't been able to get one for five months.

Dear Right Hand, you can return to God for forgiveness, and He will restore you. Please read the parable of The Prodigal Son in Luke 15:11-32. He also forgave the Israelites time and time again for straying off to worship other gods. What He did for them and for others, He will do for you, but you must ask for forgiveness and repent.

Hi Texsis.

Thanks for pointing that out. It should read "Here we have the quickening spirit by the "last" Adam that gives life under a new covenant where the old covenant brought death to the fleshly descendants of the first Adam. 1 Corinthians 15:45-50.

God bless.

Hi again Betsy , I just remembered that when the adult Israelites were forbidden to enter the promised land , God permitted all their children of twenty years old and under to enter the land . Again , another indicator of God's thoughts on this matter .

Hi Betsy , hope you don't mind my input , if we look in the Old Testament we read that an Israelite was not allowed to go to war until they were twenty years old , a Levite was not allowed to help carry the Tabernacle until they were twenty five years old and a Levite could not do any priestly duties e.g. offer the sacrifices until they were thirty years old . Obviously these things do not apply to us , though they are an indication of God's thoughts on these matters .
