I will never forget the two times I have felt the Lord God standing in my bedroom at night and it was the greatest feeling I have ever had in my 71 years!! I beg him to do it again. Have any of you ever had this feeling? Thank you Lord God for everything you do for Me and my Family. Amen.

If there is no "j" sound in the Hebrew alphabet how can they translate Yahweh Jehovah?

Neither is there a "j" sound in greek? So how does Yeshua get translated Jesus ?

Zion is God's possession. What does God need with possessions?

All this was foretold in Ps.22: close to 1k years before the fact by the prophet David word for word action for action, even the Roman soldiers gambling for HIS robe: a good reason everyone can rely on the validity of scripture. Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? Mat 27:46 CHRIST preached from the cross until HIS dieing breath Ps 22: . Always the teacher, always with love; CHRIST never addressed GOD by GOD, always FATHER when HE spoke directly to HIM. CHRIST knew what HE had to endure; the mocking, slapping, 2in thorns in HIS head, 40 lashes -1, HIS arms stretched out of HIS sockets, nails driven in feet and hands, tongue clinging to his jaws and finally suffocating; But HE innocent of not 1 sin did it for us! When you think you had a bad day and ask why you, I always say why not me, I deserve it, HE didn't!!

I thank God, but I need God bless me and my family everyday in Jesus name amen

Hi Julie. I tried to search out Genesis 1:1 using the Roman Catholic Bible (from various Catholic sites), but all showed the words as 'God created' (not in plural). So apart from what Richard has given you concerning the use of the word 'Elohim', not much more could be added. Unless you can give us more info on that particular Bible you saw it in.

I agree, that 'jealousy' is normally understood as a sin, but when we see it applied to God's Character, then we can understand that the meaning changes. When we see verses such as Exodus 34:14, Joel 2:18, & Zechariah 8:2, then we can better appreciate God's Nature - that He is not as a man is. I understand that this word has at its base, God's Character; not jealous in nature, but because of Who God is & His righteous demands upon His creation.

When we read that God "is jealous for Zion", or "the Lord revengeth, for He is a jealous God", or "jealous for His holy Name", we see that His Character, His Holiness will not be compromised when evil abounds. If God overlooked sin & let Israel do whatever they wanted, then God would betray Who He is, thus He 'jealously' guards the Holiness of His Person & metes out justice when due.

And when He is "jealous for Zion", it shows that Zion is His special possession & He will always look upon her with affection & protect her. In today's terms, we could say that 'a country (insert yours here) is jealous of her freedom', indicating that this jealousy is good because the freedom now enjoyed has come through much pain & suffering. Since it was so costly, it should be guarded so strongly (or, jealously). So, I hope you can appreciate the 'other' uses of this word.

I like to respond and thank you for your kind words I don't know why things are happening the way they are I'm not a bad person I know you eat what you sow I'm sure the devils involve I keep the Lord's prayer on my phone now I pray that a lot everyday I know there's people out there worse off than me take care and thank you again

Thanks for the good advice, these i will remember! I make a lot of herbal tea, but it does not get strong : D. I think alsow it's sciatic nerve this time. It's worst in weather changes and rain. But in the Canary Islands there is a steady temperature all the time, i have to think about it.

Peace and love in Jesus name, Mark 13 God bless us all in His Holy name forever.

Psalm 34

Wikipedia is a Google site. It's not the Bible. I don't use it in any research

You can enter a scripture in Google like:

Psalm 34:4, meaning or history or teaching or commentaries

And the sites I choose have BIBLE in their link

Like: BibleRef, BibleHub, I choose those for study

Thank you Gigi, I had a good day at rest. :) Be blessed and thank you for your care and love, i appreciate that.

Mark 13: 32-37

God bless us in Jesus name, love u in Christ.

Julie, I've been a Christian 36 yrs this stretch. I was saved at 13, but I went awol for 22 years doing astrology. God had to intervene or I'd be dead.

At first when I started reading in Genesis, heading towards the back, at times I thought God was mean. Finally I ran into the New Testament and I learned the Bible through the person of Jesus. Son of God. Things began to come together. God is our Father. In Hebrew He is our Abba (Daddy). He's full bore in love with us and wants us to love Him as much as He loves us. He saved me from certain death numerous times; He sent the angels to rescue me from all kinds of things. I do not worship angels because the Bible says not to.

I say this with every ounce of love in my heart__lay down all of your past experiences (like I had to), lay it at His feet, and take firm hold on Jesus. Jesus died on a cross for us. If that's not Love, I don't know what else is. If you will take steps towards Him, he will close up the distance. If Jesus says God is Love, why would he make it up?

I don't think comparisons are useful, regarding this church or that church. What matters is that you find peace in your soul, and the love of your Father in Heaven.

It's about choices. Jesus said, Follow Me. He didn't say follow Peter, Paul, or a Pope. His disciples wrote the Bible on scrolls, which almost all of them have been found in Israel recently. Stories online with photos. Grant Jeffery went on many of those digs. He's deceased now. Nelson Walters continues the searches. Look him up on youtube.

Israel will not allow those artifacts go out of country.

The end times are here. Decisions are being made. I always thought Christians would see the beginning of the Tribulation, and we are. It's hard to change gears. Religion is man-made. We were all called to follow Jesus alone. We are His people. He said He would build His Church in His Followers. Get a KJV and study with us.

I see two parts to your question: church membership and requirement for water baptism. Becoming a Church member is not a biblical teaching or requirement because all who have repented & are born again by Christ's Spirit are members of His Body ( 1 Corinthians 12:12-14). We are baptized by the Spirit to be indwelt & to become a part of God's family, so wherever we go to fellowship with other 'true' believers, we ought to feel (and believe we are) as one of their assembly.

So the introduction of Church membership, to be an accepted recognized member of the Church, given voting rights, able to partake at the Lord's Table, be water baptized & other rulings as seen fit, are purely at the discretion of the Church leadership to fulfil their own requirements or standards. It seems that it's another level of ensuring some certainty of those deemed worthy to be a recognized part of that particular meeting.

Is this biblical? No. Is this then incorrect? A personal decision from you whether those conditions are acceptable or even to attend a Fellowship where such rules are imposed. From a personal standpoint & as one born again for 43 years, I have never been a Church member; or when asked to become one, have given them a response as here (i.e. it is unbiblical). On the matter of water baptism, you would know your situation, if you haven't been baptized. But to be baptized just to become a Church member, would be wrong.

I don't think so. It's been so long I can't remember. They might ask if you've been born again. It helps them with church projects and stuff.

When you first get up, sit on a chair, put both elbows on knees. Hold a few minutes. It separates your vertebra.

I tried to cultivate love of herbal tea, but I'm from Texas and we like our tea strong enough to slap the guy in the next booth.

Drink a short glass of milk before coffee.

When you sit and watch tv, lift up swing your legs

Scissor-style. Sit upright.

You may be having sciatic nerve pain. It's our disks wearing out.

I have a 2"thick gel cushion I use when I'm sitting long periods.

Matthew 27.42... He saved others; himself he cannot save ...

43 He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have him : for he said I am the Son of God .

46 Jesus cried with a loud voice, My God , My God why hast thou forsaken me ?

Yes we know God did deliver Jesus 3 days later . Amen !

God is the king of the universe

Hi Charles. Ecclesiasticus is considered an Old Testament Apocryphal book, one of many. This KJBO site lists them under the Tab, 'More', at the top of the page. Some present day Bibles contain the Apocrypha, chiefly the RC Edition & those used by the Orthodox Churches.

When the Canon of Scripture was formed, this book alongwith others, were considered suspect for various reasons (e.g. authorship, incorrect teaching when compared with accepted Scriptures, etc.). Not to say that there's no truth within them, but the fact of some errors within them, should give warning to either approach them carefully or not refer to them at all.

Thank you Cindy for your prayers. God bless and strengthen you as well!

Dear God and Lord Jesus in 2 weeks and I will soon be without a home please keep me safe Please help me to stay at my friends house without him getting into trouble with the property management please let me find affordable temporary housing till my application goes through one of these apartments that I can afford to rent I am scared and desperately need your help to find permanent affordable housing Amen thankyou Anna B

For Jesus to endow vitality in His church family to the ends of the Earth, spare them from the devil's distresses, and for new steps to do things to glorify His works in lives. Amen.

1 Corinthians 6:9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,

10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

Chuck you said baptism does not save please read 1peter 3:21
