definition of "apistle" ...do y'all have a book I can purchase, when I get paid, that I can look up biblical words on a daily basis?

I made a mistake on my last Post...It should be Isaiah 11: 9...Not Jeremiah....Its was Isaiah 11 : 9 that saw KNOWLEDGE covering the earth as the waters covering the Seas...Sorry

There's a link on the entry page: BECOME A BELIEVER.

It tells you how to be saved; what's next

John 3 tells us how to be born again. Jesus baptizes us with the Holy Spirit. He comes to live within your heart. He teaches you about Jesus as your Savior and Lord. He also opens the hard sayings of Jesus so you can understand them. He convicts your heart when you sin. Sin hurts until we repent and confess.

It will blow us away if we Google, the Holy Spirits Names. Knowing this as a believer helps us to call upon the Holy Spirit for help. He is our Helper. We learn how to Love Jesus more every day of our lives.

Apparently so, DWL. Raguel is another spelling of 'Reuel' (as in Exodus 2:18). Hobab was Moses' brother-in-law.

Nathan the prophet visited David, and told a story of a man that stole a lamb (like s pet) that a rich man killed.

David replied, that man should die. Nathan said, Thou art the man!

It was about David taking Bathsheba to wed and having her husband killed. At this time she was pregnant with their first child.

Nathan told David he was forgiven but the child would die.

Psalm 51 is about this incident.

There was much heartache David went through with his children.

There are signs given that precede Jesus's Return: Matthew 24, Luke 21. They are described as being like a woman's labor pains: mild at first, violent at transition.

Another sign: the Abomination of Desolation.

Read Matthew 25:15

Mark 13:14

Revelation 21:27

Another: Israel will be surrounded by their enemies.

Many of these signs are happening now. Now is the time to evangelize loved ones and others.

Make sure you don't go to bed on an empty stomach smiley face , always have a small snack a couple of hours before bed and that should stop the hunger dreams .

The Scriptures about the Godhead. Sometimes called "Let Us..." in some passages. These scriptures are evidence of all 3 persons of the Godhead speaking to each other.

Genesis 1:26, 3:22, 11:7

Isaiah 6:8

Romans 1:20

Colossians 2:9

Acts 17:27-30

1 John 5:7

John 10:30

"For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and GODHEAD so that they are without excuse:"

Genesis 1:1

The Father purposes

The Word (Jesus) speaks. ( John 1:1)

The Spirit (Holy Spirit) executes the spoken word. Action.

All working together. Jesus came to show us the Father, as Emmanuel.

Matthew 1:23

Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God WITH US. [Jesus]

{Comment} Jesus came to bring to each born again believer; the baptism and the in-dwelling of the Holy Spirit.

[ Genesis 1:2, John 3:6, Acts 2:1-3, John 16: 7-15]

Upon being born again, Jesus gives the Holy Spirit to teach us scripture, comfort us, convict us of sin, enable us to be witnesses. Stay in the New Testament at first.

It is a deuterocanonical work in that it is accepted in the ROMAN canon,

BUT NOT by Jews, Protestants or Christianity. The King James Bible was canonized just as it is now.

The story you are looking for is in chapter one of the APOCRYPHA.

It tells of the Jewish hero Daniel, who refuses to worship the god Bel and kills the dragon, thus being forced into a den of lions, which he is allowed to leave after seven days because he is unharmed.

The Apocrypha is not canonized into the King James Bible.

You may understand better if you Google the history of the KJV Bible; and the separation of the Apocryphal Books.

The Council of Nicaea was the first council in the history of the Christian church that was intended to address the entire body of believers. It was convened by the emperor Constantine to resolve the controversy of Arianism, a doctrine that held that ***Christ was not divine but was a created being.***

Jesus Christ is the Divine Son of God. Anybody who has read the KJV and the Book of John chapter 3; called upon Jesus for salvation:

Are born again, and have been baptized with the indwelling Holy Spirit__who is the Spirit of Jesus Christ.

He reveals Jesus to new Christians.

The Bible [WORD OF GOD] is spiritually discerned. We must be born again to understand the hard sayings.

Did Aaron and Moses have the same father?

In the Book of Exodus, Amram (/mrm/; Hebrew: , Modern: 'Amram, Tiberian: Amrm, "Friend of the most high" / "The people are exalted") is the husband of Jochebed and father of Aaron, Moses and Miriam.

They were Hebrews, so they'd be Jewish.

Hi Robert. This passage in Leviticus, particularly verses 27 & 28, was a warning to Israel not to mimic the activities relating to the dead. Those of the heathen often cut or whipped themselves expressing sorrow for their departed ones; the Muslims (the Shia sect) even today, whip themselves with barbed rope or cut themselves with knives, as they visually demonstrate sorrow for the death of Mohammed's grandson in battle - this they do in a special parade of commemoration. Likewise, the heathen marked themselves, both with paint & knife cuttings/blood letting, as part of their idol worship or expression of sorrow.

But Israel was not to do such things or disfigure the body, which was made in God's Image. Rather they were commanded to bear the emblem of God's Creed, the Mosaic Law, having phylacteries which were to be bound as "a sign" upon the hand, and as "a memorial" between the eyes "that the Lord's Law may be in his mouth" ( Exodus 13:9,16).

If we bring all that to today's times, any cutting, painting, tatooing, or disfigurement of the body stands in violation to what God has made & given to us. For the unbeliever, it may just be a fad or harmless decoration - to the believer, we should not get caught up with modern trends, rather continue to present ourselves, inwardly & outwardly, as holy vessels fit for the Lord's use & a testimony of His Creative Work & our submission to His requirement for holy living.

Please pray for an old friend of mine, I just shared the gospel with him. Please pray that he receives it, and comes to know the Lord Jesus Christ as his Savior.

Thank you brothers and sisters in Christ

Also a lot of deception , and false teachings by men's doctrines , not the teachings of the Holy Spirit of truth . I have read lots too on this website . Prefer the Bible it never leads astray . Amen

Please pray for my hubby, John, as he got ran over by a 12 ton truck a week ago and then flung over the side of a large bridge!!! He was sent to hospital with a couple of bruises but other than that he is fine physically. He isnt mentally though, please send prayers his way while he fights the devil.

I've been having dreams of eating and I know it isn't good and I'm seeking for help for what to do.

It's sad that such a thing was spoken and it's even worst that it was a man of God, but you should remember that you must not forsake the assembly of the church. We need each other and as the Word says we are brothers and sisters and we must love each other as God loves us and that is not an option.

Pray, find another church if you must but remember He will guide you and He sees all, no-one gets away with anything.

Judgement starts at the house of God and if it starts with those of us who believe how will it be for those who don't or those who mislead.

God bless you and may He bring you to a church home.

I'm wondering the same

Part 2.

As we grow as child of God and are changed from glory to glory by the work of the Holy Spirit in us, we become more and more like Jesus in His human nature. The difference is, we will always have the sinful nature to pull us into sin in this life (Jesus did not possess this sinful nature). But knowing that we have the Holy Spirit dwelling in us, we can be assured that God will not leave us to become more and more sinful. Rather, He will work in us to make us more and more godly in our moral choices and lifestyle.

The communion we have with God due to being made alive spiritually and reconciled to Him through the salvific work of Jesus and the sanctifying work of the Holy Spirit is satisfying to us. We desire more and more to do right because the Spirit causes us to love righteousness and we determine to avoid sinful ways because the Spirit causes us to hate what is unrighteous.

The blood of Jesus brings us forgiveness, covers over our sins, remove the guilt and condemnation we deserve for our sinful choices, and cleanses our being from all unrighteousness. Hallelujah! We believe this with all of our hearts, soul, minds, and strength because our alive spiritual nature can now affect all of these other aspects of our being. So, I think that both you AND Doug are correct. We have been given a new heart and a new spirit within us. We have become a new creation in Christ. Who we were before is not who we have become. How I wish we could shed completely the sinful nature in this life, too. But God, in His wisdom, choses to have it remain with us in this life and not carry over in us in the life to come.

Dear Giannis,

I am intrigued by this conversation. it makes me think about this topic more deeply. I do think that believers still possess the sin nature that we inherited from Adam's disobedience and that our moral nature, which was created good in God's eyes, was corrupted, lacking that goodness that God created it to be at the first. Along with our moral nature becoming corrupted and not able to respond to God without His mercy and grace, I believe that our spiritual nature died with Adam as well. So, not only did our nature become corrupted and in bondage to sin, we have a loss of a spiritual nature that was to be in communion with God and able to interact with Him as Adam did in the Garden before he sinned.

When one is regenerated, our spiritual nature is made alive once again, enabling us to turn to God through the grace bestowed by the Holy Spirit along with the faith He supplies to us. Our corrupted nature remains intact, but now our spiritual nature is alive and able to access God's power to resist sin and become more and more like our Lord by the sanctifying work of the Holy Spirit. Having made our spiritual nature alive to God, the Holy Spirit can live in us and commune with our regenerated spiritual nature. The sinful nature can be overcome by our spiritual nature because the Holy Spirit works in and through our spiritual nature to choose what is right before God.

In this way, our nature does change from a dead spiritual nature and sinful nature (that was added to us dur to the fall) to an alive spiritual nature that is made stronger than the sinful nature due to the union of this nature with the Holy Spirit living in us. This spiritual nature wars with our sinful nature as long as we are in this earthly life. But, as you said. we will continue to sin in this life here until we die and become alive again for eternity, having then put off our sinful nature for good. As believers we know that our sins are forgiven by the offering of Jesus on the cross.

Numbers 10:29 And Moses said unto Hobab, the son of Raguel the Midianite, Moses' father in law, We are journeying unto the place of which the LORD said, I will give it you: come thou with us, and we will do thee good: for the LORD hath spoken good concerning Israel.

Is Raguel the Midianite also Jethro?

GOD's laws given to Moses start in Exodus 20, continue through Exodus 23, also Deuteronomy 6, Deuteronomy 12, through 29,

Notice the curse if they didn't obey.

Hopefully these are helpful

Thank you, Anna,

the day went well without any problems. Thank you for your prayers and support. Next time we gather will be for the memorial in two weeks, then again for the internment on August 9. After that it is unlikely we will ALL meet together at once again. That will be a relief. Those of us who get along will continue to spend time with one another. And the others who get along between them and not us will continue to spend time together. That is as it should be considering all things.

If indeed you believe that the Scriptures are, "The Living Word of God," which is what I was raised to believe, then it follows that things that are alive change. Nothing, absolutely nothing doesn't change. And all I know is that that verse originally said, "Where two or more "

I challenge you to inquire of your most devout Christian friends over the age of 30 to recite that verse from memory. And try to remain open. Not everything in this world can be explained away by what we've been led to believe. But thank you for your reply.

Doug , you bring up a great point that almost no one teaches on , much less has a clue about. So you have provided a number of verses on "clouds" allow me to provide a few more that will open things up for you and all else who read this.

Psalms 104:3 " who maketh the clouds his chariot" .... that is the KEY to the clouds . A cloud or clouds plural are actually referencing his chariot and fleet of chariots in Psalms 68:17 "The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands of angels:

the Lord is among them, as in Sinai, in the holy place." 20,000 chariots would be a flying fleet of aircraft/spacecraft, as he comes down from heaven and maneuvers through the skies of earth. Look at Isaiah 66:15 "For behold, the LORD will come with fire, and with his CHARIOTS....." this is at the second coming ! This clearly ties in with the armies in heaven which follow him in Revelation 19:14



That should open things up a little for you. A detailed study of the Mt of Transfiguration where a cloud comes with the Father in it bringing Moses and Elijah.... "and they feared (the disciples) as they (Moses and Elijah) ENTERED INTO THE CLOUD".. Like 9:34. Yeah, I bet they did. First off, Moses was resurrected - Jude 1:9. Elijah went up in a chariot in 2 Kings 2. They then return in one of these Cloud-Chariots with the Father to talk to Jesus before his death. This fulfills the prophecy Jesus gave the week before about some standing here not tasting death till they see the kingdom of God .... Matthew 16 end - Matthew 17:1-10 Mark 9:1:10 Luke 9:26-36

As for the Ascension of Christ in Acts 1, it is likely the same cloud of the Mt of Transfiguration, as Jesus goes to sit on the right hand of the Father. This doctrine is virtually unknown to most all Christians, much less those that teach or preach to them. Thanks be to God I happened across a website a few years back where the late Patrick Cooke laid this all out in detail. Opened my eyes quite a bit.

In Leviticus 19:28 is says not to paint your body is this referring to women that were harlots using makeup or is it actually tattoos?

What are the authenticity of these books and why not part of the 66 books of the bible?

I'm coming to the Lord as His child, longing to hear from Him and asking for your divine healing. There's so much I don't understand, but I do know that with one touch, one word, He can make me whole. I ask for forgiveness of my sins, cleansing of my unrighteousness, and for beginning of healing from the inside out. I simply bow my heart before God to tell the desire of my heart:

1.To spend as many years as I can loving Him here healed, free in my mind and body from eating disorders and depression, loving others and be loved back, and wanting to become more like Jesus.

2.I also ask for help and guidance because I'm tormented by lies and own thoughts that might also be untrue so I ask the Lord, that the truth be revealed in my relationships and questions right now.

3.I ask the Father for His miraculous power to heal and restore our broken relationship with Sean, the one I love. Unresolved conflicts, lack of communication, and loss of trust have led us to this point. Allow us to love like never before each other, ardently without ever giving up. To spend most of our time together, in joy and love, communicate beautifully and easily with each other and have unconditional trust but also be both us truly trustworthy. May our relationship flourish and become unshakeable, an inspiration for others.

I surrender all my fears, doubts, and worries. However, God chooses to accomplish that is up to Him-and okay with me. In Jesus' Name I pray, Amen.

While we were yet sinners Christ died for us...Its not by our conduct but by the regeneration and washing of the H.G.

.....Its only by the blood of the lamb that makes us clean...Neither circumcision nor uncircumcision but only by the Blood of the lamb that New CREATURE THAT PLZS God....The regeneration and washing of the H.G. That New Creature

...You have not chosen me but i have chosen you...Mankind wd neva chose God simply b/c mans carnal mind is the very enemy of God...Mans carnal mind is in rank with satan and wd neva chose God...Its not subject to the laws of God and NEITHER IN DEED CAN BE Romans 8 : 7 kjv...Thus he had to die for us Humanity while we were yet sinners....All of us, if i be lifted up I will draw ALL men unto me.

.....Thats y Isaiah is saying i was found of them that sought me not and i was made manifest of them that asked not after me....This new Covenant is a birthing covenant...We all are gonna be bornagain as Jermiah saw all men intravail and birth pains...Its Jesus that is gonna know us which is an intimacy that results in a birth of Christ in us.

.....Thats y Jeremiah saw KNOWLEDGE an intimacy with Christ covering the earth as the waters cover th seas..He is gona KNOW everybody resulting in a birth of Christ in all of us...As Jeremiah saw all men in travail and birth pains... Jeremiah 30 : 6 kjv...k

I believe it's a daily decision effort. Referring to "pick up your cross daily & follow" Jesus, "dying to self", being "born again " we have to go from a symbolic crawling to walking. Luke 9:23, Luke 14:27, Matthew 10:38, John 8:24,

Learn to :

Deuteronomy 17:19, Isaiah 1:17,

Even fruit, isn't automatic, it takes time to grow.

Pruning, is there habits that need to be cut off? Even if it starts growing back, to trim again.

Luke 17:33, John 8:34, Romans 6, Romans 7, Romans 8:2,

Hopefully these are helpful

with man it is imposible but with GOD all things are posible 1 believe jesus is the son of GOD 2 turn from your sin 3 Become baptised for the remission of sins you will be added to the book of life
