I grew up in a fundamentalist Christian family. And I had to write much of Scripture from memory. Does anyone else remember it being, "Where two or MORE are gathered" rather than THREE? That isn't correct. It's two or MORE. I even prayed it aloud with a group of my friends holding hands when I was a small group leader in my church.

Lord Jesus please richly bless, protect and guide them. Please help them in accordance with your perfect will Father. Thank you and praise you. In your holy name I pray. Amen.

oh ok - you used the word "promiscuous". nothing to do with smoking. addiction is a spirit which needs to be rebuked, fasting and prayer helps.

Lord Jesus please fight for us, please block that which is not good. I continue to ask for strong protection, deliverance, healing and salvation (those not saved) for us and all others in need. In your holy name I pray. Amen. Come quickly Lord Jesus. Maranatha

Hi Samuel,

Praying for your walk with the Lord has been fruitful this pass year. Sorry for the lateness of this reply. Most people, both believers and non believers, believe the rhetoric or argument that God or Christ Jesus said basically nothing on the topic of homosexuality. God addressed it in Genesis 2; and Jesus did so in Matthew 5 and 19. These passages basically talk about GOD's definition and design of a Biblical marriage. Any thing out side of this definition is sin. Since GOD gave or created "marriage" and HIS definition of it; no one can change it. One can chose to ignore it, but at the end of the day- it is still GOD'S institution and not man's. One Man married to one women. Adam and Eve; not Adam and Steve.

For those who claim that there is nothing in the Bible regarding same sex marriage therefore it is ok - is pedophilia ok? There is no mention of it in Scripture.

Everyone has a choice to make. It starts first with trusting and choosing to believe in the salvation of the Lord Jesus Christ. Then choosing to grow in God's grace and mercy; cultivating a person relationship with the Lord through His Word. Walk in the Spirit and you will not fulfill the lust of the flesh. Galatians 5:16

God shine His face on everyone on this platform who are seeking diligently and faithfully to praise His name.

God bless our President and his administration with wisdom to govern and lead.

Even so LORD, come quickly! June 23, 2022

Honey, I am looking up where I gathered up these little tidbits so I could source them first. But in a nutshell, I was talking more about the lack of strength to stop an old habit like cigarette smoking, and asking was it like spitting in my Lord's face every time I light a cigarette when I know it's wrong. From what I understand promiscuous doesn't have to mean see.

I dont understand whats happening in verses 1-5, is there someone who could explain?

Why would anybody name their child Saul?

Acts 9:4

"And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?"

My opinion is the following dear Dora.

The verse has to do with what Jesus was talking about. Lets see what he was saying :

Luke 9:23-27

23 And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.

24 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.

25nFor what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away?

26 For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in his Father's, and of the holy angels.

27 But I tell you of a truth, there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God.

Jesus was talking about those who wanted to follow Him. He warned them that one has to deny everything, even his own life, and suffer persecutions to be able to follow Him.

The reward for those that believe in Him and follow him all the way through all harsh circumstances met in life is been accepted in the Kingdom of God. So He said there are people standing there that either

1) will not die the (spiritual) death untill this Kingdom arrives on earth .He talks about tthe litteral Kindom of God arriving at the very end of this world

or 2) He may have implied that there were people standing there that will not die the physical death untill His Kingdom arrives (He means His ressurection when the saved ones were transferred from Ades to Heaven.

But since Jesus talks about coming with glory and angels the former explanation seems to the right one, though the latter may not be wrong either.

Hello Gigi,

I am writing to let you know again, my appreciation for your response of prayer in my tenant/landlord matter. I pray this prayer throughout the day each day, and want to extent any opportunity to update you so that you can see your prayer answered. So far, the motive of both aggressors are being revealed. My daughter and I have stayed silent and are collecting and organizing materials. What I have coming to me is phenomenal - I keep running into dear friends who have made recommendations based on similar personal experiences. Our situation has been described favorably for us by three different attorneys. All three, favorably, recommended the case could prevail without hiring an attorney, and each mentioned to wait to see if landlord could succeed in acquiring a lawful detainer as his required first step. Fortunately, he made many mistakes that might not make that successful. My daughter and I continue to follow the ways of the Lord, exercising integrity by continuing to pay the required rent regardless. We are at more peace than from the start. Your gifted prayer continues to prevail. Thank you.

Please pray that I have a really good appointment today. Thank you for your prayers!

Hi Dora.

On Luke 9:27.

The previous verse gives the period of time in which this takes place. Luke 9:26. For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, WHEN HE SHALL COME IN HIS OWN GLORY, AND IN HIS FATHER'S, AND OF THE HOLY ANGELS.

In the preceding verses

Luke 9:28-35. we see a GLIMPSE of Christ in his glory that is mentioned. Also Peter makes mention of this event in 2 Peter 1:16-18. For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty.

For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount.

I believe this takes place at his second coming. Look at Matthew's account.

Matthew 16:27. For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; AND THEN HE SHALL REWARD EVERY MAN ACCORDING TO HIS WORKS.

Revelation 22:12. And, behold, I come quickly; AND MY REWARD IS WITH ME, TO GIVE EVERY MAN ACCORDING AS HIS WORK SHALL BE.

I hope this helps,

God bless.

Excellent. So you read my reply to your previous post. All records show that King James 1 did indeed authorize the King James Bible. Now, interestingly it was originally going to have a very simply name 'The Holy Bible' and was shown in the 1st printings. However, it was indeed the committee who decided it be more distinguished (hence "the Great Bible" already existing and possibly becoming a confusion with this). They then change it to the Holy King James Bible. In 1769 this was the most significant and important revision.

If you go here to the site you have the option of reading the 1769 version or 1611. The 1611 was written in Elizabethan English but also similar to the Tyndale Bible it was an early English with a few printing errors and early Germanic-English which was no longer becoming as common toward the end of the 16th century. Albeit, we still see the Elizabethan English -- the Germanic which also had Latin characters ("V" instead of "U" for instance) still exists as a special print should you choose to read that.

Later revisions first separated the apocryphal books and then before the 1890's the apocryphal books (do to their lack of inspiration toward the Word of God) were taken out entirely.

I hope this helps.

Brother, I love you postings here on King James Bible Online but you're wrong. We are put through tests and trials (tribulations) during this time. But speaking of the prophetical 7-year tribulation -- all the verses you're quoting of "those" going through that would be those who knew God, they may have known what Salvation is, they may have gone to church or even graduated from a Bible college...but...they never truly were saved. They are left behind.

Revelation 3:10

"Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth."

Jesus speaks a few things in that verse alone of the things to come. What is the hour of temptation = the insidious events during the tribulation (mark of the beast and temptation thereof) and even the enticements of the antichrist. Since WHEN did Jesus Christ state his church (the elect) would ever go through that? Never. People confuse those left behind trying to accept Christ during the tribulation for those already saved and raptured before it begins.

Rethink that modern theology is not right about their denial of the rapture or Bible prophesy but I can list (if you'd like) the myriad of member of the early church where they quoted a pre-trib rapture, wrote about it and died with that blessed hope.

Semom on sins

A hotly contested verse; but the alternate explanation needs to be given of the Transfiguration when 3 disciples saw Christ and 2 saints in a glorified state. This could have been literally a time travel into the future; it certainly revealed Christ in a different manner. Since these scriptures immediately come after this account that is the most likely explanation.

Another thing not mentioned is those O.T. saints that came out of their graves at the Resurrection. They would have seen Christ after Resurrected but not necessarily as He would return in His glory as the first example also seems to be lacking.

The events of AD 70 are argued by FULL Preterists as indicating the fulfillment of that prophecy in His generation. There are too many other clear scriptures that invalidate this; not the least of which are in John's account in Revelation. In AD 70 there were said to be many supernatural manifestations including that of visions of God and His glory. Still He didn't return physically back to earth at that time.

We could also examine us as believers that have gone from death to life spiritually. ( 1 John 3:14). Our spirit man will be present with the Lord after we die so we in a sense will still be alive (as Moses and Elijah were taking with Christ-Elijah of course was translated and never died physically). Of course we will not die once He comes back either; a lot depends on what "tasting death" means. Since the verse says "some of you" it clearly does not indicate the final fulfillment when every eye shall see Him.

If only the disciples heard it being said then the Transfiguration is a likely explanation; the cloud imagery could in some way relate to His second coming.

Ultimately this is a tough verse; but as with anything else we cannot let it stand alone. We cannot accept that Christ has physically returned to earth yet; or those who think He has returned in some mystical way. ( Matthew 24:26-etc). There is no mistaking that event.

By following the example that Jesus gave us . Read carefully the gospels and take notice of how Jesus treats people .

Rachel was one of Jacobs wives , you can read about them in the book of Genesis .

Dear Donna: I am praying for you. I cannot begin to imagine the pain you must be feeling due to loss. God is faithful to help us through every worldly problem and trouble we have. Pray. He does hear you once you accept Him. Finding a church that teaches the Bible will help strengthen you through faith of other believers. They will pray for you too. God bless you. Read God's word. It is a "light unto our path and a lamp unto our feet".

Hiya Orlando...Who are the sons of God good question ..the absolute Son of God are spirits the H.G. As Jesus said that which is BORN of the Spirit is Spirit Which is the H.G.....Its only the H.G. which is the Child of Promise that are the real Children of God....As Romans 9 v 8 tells us....Not all Israel is Israel that is the Children of the Flesh natural ISRAEL ,These are not the Children of God...Its only the Children of Promise that counted for that good seed....Which are the Children of PROMISE the H.G. IS ONLY the CHILD OF PROMISE Which is the Israel of God ...We are just a joint heir with Christ our new innerman which is the H.G....The Child of PROMISE.

.....We humanity were all born by the WILL OF SOME MAN....Its only the H.G. that is BORN BY THE WILL OF GOD...via the seed of Christ the words of God... John 1 : 13.. His name sake is the H.G. That comes in his name and is not BORN not by the will of man nor by the will of the flesh nor of the blood....But only by the will of God...Remember Jesus said the Father will send the H.G. in MY NAME...MEANING BY HIS SEED THE WORD THUS IMPLING THAT ITS CHRIST WHO IS THE Father of the H.G....Impling an Israel of God that is gonna be born in us...A HEAVENLY JACOB...An Israel of God which is the H.G the CHILDREN OF PROMISE THAT ARE GONNA BE BORN IN US..We are just a joint heir b/c we are the CHURCH THE BRIDE.

Ephesians. 6,12. One last time for me to be on this website Billy Graham said that the God of this world is the devil yes Jesus Christ if you feed the spirit and not the flesh you stay strong if you feed the flush and not the spirit you're weak and the devil comes after you my thinking is that the devil tries to keep you so busy from the time you wake up in the morning from the time you go to bed at night the less you do with Jesus Christ the better it is that's when he comes after you I might have asked this question before if I did I'll apologize life's about to take a very bad road financial situation is doesn't look good so I won't have a phone too much longer thank you very much I think that feeding the spirit everyday more in the flesh is important pray that I do that more God bless you all take care

He is God the healer and redeemer. He has great plans for you. Trust Him all the way through. The best is yet to come. Your testimony will heal many.

Doug sir, the descriptive background wrote here regarding this journey explains to me that you cast aside your opinions, understandings from men, church teachings, and asked the Holy Ghost to lead you in all truth. Because of this you can see more clearly what is in the Word I would humbly ascertain.

The "rapture" is a contentious item, (pre-trib, mid-trib, post-trib, pre-wrath, no rapture and also inverse: removal of the wicked) I too sought answers on this. 1 Thes 4:17 The key word used in this argument is in English "caught up", in Latin "rapture", and in Greek "harpazo" G726. This same word in our KJV is used 13 times, some of interest in comparative study are Rev 12:5, Jude 1:23, Acts 8:39, John 6:15. We all have an opinion in this matter, but we are all in HIS body. Regardless of what we think, His Word will come to pass as He intends it too. Alleluia!

1 Thes 4:15 The key word here is "coming" G3952 parousia- par-oo-see'-ah

From the present participle of G3918; a being near, that is, advent (often, return; specifically of Christ to punish Jerusalem, or finally the wicked); (by implication) physical aspect: - coming, presence. (there is no 3rd coming, we are looking for the 2nd advent of Christ which is this, the harvest)

Who is the restrainer? Who is he who is letting until he be taken out the way? Jude 1:9, Dan 10:21, Dan 12:1

God bless you,

Josh

I appreciate when others explain languages in Hebrew of Greek. Everything we do as Teachers gets closer scrutiny by the Lord. Not everyone is a scholar. I have 36 years of street ministry on my feet.

I think teachers and students should appreciate, not alienate. Try always to edify. If someone else is good with languages, I let them answer it later. Adios amigos .)

Revelation 3:11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

2 Timothy 4:7 I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: (8) Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.

Revelation 2:10 Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: (be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.)

Revelation 3:21 To him that (overcometh) will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.

I thank God for this website. I also watch former Churches on YouTube, or ministers that I met in person and really like how they open the word. I stay on top of news events. I do not watch television networks at all. I visit with my elderly neighbors a few times a week. Today a disabled man who works at a dollar store, said how he needed coffee because his aunt & uncle are heavy coffee drinkers.

I'm going back tomorrow to give him my box of coffee. It hurts me to see others struggle alone. I really enjoy hours spent right here talking about the Bible. I don't come in here to make people feel worse if they're feeling dragged down or spread thin. Let us edify each other., ok. Thanks.

Hiya Dora GBU....Yes I can explain that easily....When the Kingdom comes folks are gona be doing the works Jesus did and GREATER and the world is gonna see this and be DRAWN to Christs Kingdom wanting to forsake all and follow him...I WILL DRAW ALL MEN unto Me..meaning they are gona taste of DEATH impling selling everything and forsaking even their families....Remember Peter said we have forsaken all to follow you...Even the early Church sold everything and followed Jesus...And divided all their goods to everybody and anybody which is Death to their carnal minds that loves materialistic things and This life and wife and Children...The H.G. is gonna Regenerate himself in humanity...causing folks to DIE to the things of this world...Scripture says the slain of the Lord will be many....Outta of his mouth goes a Sharp Sword and he will smite the nations.

.....Jesus said he that loveth wife or Children more then me is not worthy of me....or MY kingdom...We will ALL taste of death and enjoy it...The manchild is the H.G. The Kingdom that is gonna be born in everybody and rule all this world... Joel 2 :28 I will pour out of my Spirit on ALL flesh...Your sons and daughterS are gonna prophesy....Even our Children are gona be DRAWN UNTO HIM...The whole family is gona be saved....If i be lifted up I will draw all men unto me...Thus all men will gladly taste of death for his KINGDOM.

.....Jesus said if a man forsake not all that he has he cannot be my disciple which is death to our carnal minds that loves materialistic things this life and family...homes etc...Money in the bank etc...Remember what Paul said I have suffered the LOSS OF ALL THINGS AND COUNT THEM BUT DUNG THAT I MIGHT WIN CHRIST ETC...Paul had died to the Flesh

.....Don't worry whats impossible with mans is possible with God.

I got saved at home, alone with God. I started attending a church, and got baptized, when I asked I was told to buy an NIV, a pre 1982 edition, by continuing to hunger and thirst for God's truth I finally got a KJV, kept attending the church, until one morning I heard the pastor say " the KJV is wrong" that's the day I left church. I continue to read and pray and attend two online churches that are too far from me to drive each church day. I'm very thankful God led me to His pure, purified, kept, and preserved word. 8 years now savedpraise God

In referring to Philemon1:1, was Timothy in prison with Paul?
