Thanks for your question, Donovan, it is a very appropriate one, especially when one is limited with friends, interests, or moving around the place.

You're correct, there's much that is evil on the Web, so one has to be discerning as to what to click on. At the outset, the Bible & prayer must be the most important part of your daily life. There's nothing to compare to feeding on God's Word & talking to the One Who loves you & brought you into His family. Just by you writing here for answers, can be a profitable short time in your day, or to engage with others around God's Word.

But I realize that it would be difficult for most to be reading the Bible for eight hours a day - we need to keep ourselves occupied with other things that might interest us. Just some suggestions, though not knowing your inclinations or your age:

Offering your services to your Church Fellowship, or in a voluntary capacity in a hospital, aged care facility, visiting the sick/shut-ins, library. Join a gym or low-cost daily/weekly exercise program. Some good documentaries on the Web: I have Tubi TV bookmarked & recently saw a great documentary on Yellowstone National Park (but there's a lot of rubbish on there as well - care needed). Some good Bible Teaching videos/religious debates on YouTube. Any interests or past-times? I'm into aircraft: I often do international flights on my Flight Simulator. Interested in driving - visiting nearby towns - helping someone who needs a lift. The options are almost endless, but not everything will suit you. I know you were asking about things to entertain you (for passing the time), but often engaging with others to help them, can often be more fulfilling & rewarding - and you might just get an open door to share Jesus with them.

Hope something here helps you & I'm sure you're laying this matter before the Lord for His directing.

Thanks Susan for confirming that it was Psalm 119 you're looking at. As for the "references", I'm unsure whether you're wanting to know what each group within this Psalm refers to, or, what these verses are speaking of.

Since this Psalm doesn't indicate an author, it would be difficult to place verses with a particular event in the Bible. The Psalmist only knows his situation & he is sharing his testimonies & observations about it.

However, and sharing very generally here, each group of verses in the Psalm are written under each successive letter of the Hebrew alphabet. So verses 49 to 56 (Zain), 57 to 64 (Cheth), & 65 to 72 (Teth) are seen. The whole Psalm has a central thought that it is only God's Word that contains everything a person needs to know. And to complement this belief, the Psalmist uses various words for the Word or Law of God; namely: Law, Testimonies, Precepts, Statutes, Commandments, Judgements, Word and Path. And at least one of these words can be seen in each stanza (grouping). Each of these terms has a specific meaning, especially to Hebrew readers, & together in the Psalm, they give an understanding of what the Psalmist is trying to emphasize about the world (both personal & corporate).

I'm sorry if what I've shared doesn't really answer your question. Anything more than this, would require much detail about the verses themselves, and I'm unsure whether that's what you seek.

So caring and beautiful Amen.

Just wondering about what are the things that I can entertain myself with, obviously I know the Bible talks about not bringing evil things onto my eyes. And Jesus said if your eye causes you to sin pluck it out, for it is better for you to enter heaven without an eye then to be cast into the lake of fire with your whole body. So just wondering are things like movies and YouTube bad things to entertain myself with on a daily, I don't have any friends, and it's the Summer so I don't see any people my age on a daily bases. I understand that movies and YouTube can easily bring evil things into my head, I'm not bored of living and things like that. But what do I do for entertainment? I also have stopped playing video games, which is a real blessing for me and thank god for that. I have preyed for gods grace to come into my life and prevent me from watching movies and YouTube just today. Anyway just wondering and asking is YouTube and movies bad for me to entertain myself with on a daily basis, and what should I entertain myself with?

Thanks for correcting me, GiGi. I somehow thought that you & maybe a couple of other family members were around her when your sister, being the eldest, made that decision to disconnect. I agree with you, that I too couldn't do it - we may have a few regrets in life that we carry in our hearts & have to live with, but that's one that would be too painful for me. Blessings.

Hello again Phil,

It seems to me like you want to be argumentative on this thread, so I am exiting now. Have a good evening.

Phil,

A bloodline is established by the transference of DNA from the gametes (egg and sperm) of each parent. A bloodline is not passed down through blood, but by DNA in these gametes.

And I do not have any Scripture saying Joseph adopted Jesus. But he did raise Him as his son having married Mary before Jesus was born. Maybe he did adopt him and maybe not. I think that adoption was much simpler back then. But the Scripture is silent about these things.

Thanks Chris.

I was not there when she passed. I would not have agreed to remove oxygen because it probably only spared her an hour or so. I would rather that God decide her time, and in the meantime, I would continue to give oxygen or fluids or whatever she would allow until God chooses her last breath, etc. So I am glad I was not there. That would have been very disturbing to me. I am pro-life which means that I would never take an action to shorten or end someone's life either in the womb or at any other stage of life. My Mom did not want to have CPR or be on a life support machine. I agree with that. I don't want that either. If I am gone, I'm gone. Let me be. I would be going to be with Jesus. But, others may feel differently and I can respect that. My dad was 62 when he had his first and only heart attack. He was put on life support machines, but was determined to be brain dead soon after. He died before the night was over, so we did not have to decide to remove the life support from him, which was the plan for the next day. God took him in His time. I would have wanted that for my Mom as well. When we were called to the hospital, the Dr. said it may take about 12 hours for her to die. She was still alive 20 hours later. But was very near death.

Thank you for sharing about your Mom. So sad to die so young. God helped you to prepare for the news your Dad was to bring you.

Thank you for sharing those sad last moments with your Mother, GiGi. And I was particularly moved by the decision of your sister to remove the oxygen supply from her. I'm sure that would have been a very, very difficult moment for you & others there.

My Father was in a similar situation when he was by his wife's side at hospital as she was in her final moments in her cancer-riddled body. I was at school doing revision for upcoming exams, when at 3:15 pm, I felt something lift off me & I then gazed out of the class window. Fortunately, my teacher didn't chide me for losing my focus. I didn't know what happened, just had that strange lightness & release. Dad met me when I arrived home later & told me that Mom had gone & later shared that at around 3 pm, she was very weak, incoherent & with very laboured breathing. He could have disconnected her tube, but he just took hold of her, kissed her, & prayed to our Merciful Father to take her Home. With that, she stopped breathing - she was only 40 yrs old.

I just share that because we can trust the Lord to deal with the terminally ill & also with loved ones, in a way beyond our knowledge & feelings. He does all things well & how much more when a soul is at the entrance to eternity. Even as David acknowledged, "My times are in thy hand" ( Psalm 31:15); he knew full well, whether through illness or the onslaught of the enemy (as the Psalm suggests), God is the One in control & He will give or take away according to His Will.

Is old age a punishment? Or should one be allowed to elect death instead of enduring extended suffering? Now, I'm in that old-age bracket; life has slowed down some, few more aches, pains & stiffness, but I don't regard it as punishment, but to use our days to give thanks to the Lord for His Goodness, to live for Him, to be a witness to the 'younger' ones of God's Faithfulness, that this life is passing, yet it's a time to be ready for an eternity with the Lord, Who has given us His all for us.

God said we should always follow him cause you will go threw sick death to have him in your life sometime make you understand it not for you but to help someone else. So we should stay in God.He will never leave no matter what we might leave hide but he wan leave us ,

And sick come and death we ask where is god he said I am right her just opened you eye reach your hand up open your ear and you will find me.God said I leave you or forsake you.

Peace to you.

For what it may be worth:

"Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things. But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat. And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require it, and at the hand of man; at the hand of every man's brother will I require the life of man. Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man." Genesis 9:3-6

"...blood it defileth the land: and the land cannot be cleansed of the blood that is shed therein, but by the blood of him that shed it." Numbers 35:33

According to John Chapter 9, sinners can be born in the flesh again (and their blood can be shed so the land can be cleansed).

What's the meaning of spiritual warfare?

For what it may be worth:

Consider the beast described in Job Chapter 41:

Out of his mouth go burning lamps, and sparks of fire leap out.

Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, as out of a seething pot or caldron.

His breath kindleth coals, and a flame goeth out of his mouth.

Upon earth there is not his like, who is made without fear.

He beholdeth all high things: he is a king over all the children of pride.

Said beast appears to predate modern animals because he is not subject to the following curse:

"...the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered." Genesis 9:2

Happy hunting...

Also, where does it state that Joseph "adopted" Jesus..... He is called the carpenter's son in Matthew, but what verse teaches he was adopted? It seems that the daughter's of Zelophehad had a similar situation over an inheritance... In Numbers 36 the answer is given....If the woman is a widow, she is to marry under the same tribe as she and her dead husband was... Then and only then could the daughter's get the inheritance.... Mary had to marry a man of the same tribe as her, then Jesus would qualify....This was new revelation from Jehovah. See Numbers

Actually the punishment was shortened life: Genesis 6:3,

Conception brings together all the genetic instructions needed to create a unique, never-before-existed human being. All that is needed from this point forward is a safe and nurturing environment in which to grow. The killing of a child in the womb completely stops this natural growth process.

What grows within a woman when she becomes pregnant is a human life. According to the Bible, the taking of that life through abortion is murder based on the sixth of the Ten Commandments ( Exodus 20:13, Deuteronomy 5:17).

God inspired King David to recognize that his life began at conception when he caused him to write how "wonderfully made" he was in the womb. David attributes to God his creation as a human being, in the body of his mother, at least six times in Psalm 139:13 - 16. Scripture does speak of knowing a person even before they are created (see Jeremiah 1:5, Luke 1:13 - 17, 31 - 33).

Note the following in regard to the argument that an abortion does not kill a "real" person. After God miraculously caused the conception of Jesus in Mary's womb she travelled to stay with Elizabeth ( Luke 1:56), who was six months pregnant. When she arrived the baby inside Elizabeth, upon hearing Mary's voice, leaped with joy ( Luke 1:41)!

Exodus 23:7, Deuteronomy 19:10, Deuteronomy 19:13, Deuteronomy 21:9 "So shalt thou put away the guilt of innocent blood from among you, when thou shalt do that which is right in the sight of the Lord." 2Kings 24:4,

Deuteronomy 27:25 "cursed be he that taketh reward to slay an innocent person; and all the people shall say, Amen"

Psalms 10:4,8, Psalms 106:33-48,

Proverbs 6:16-17 "These sixe things doeth the Lord hate; yea seven are an abomination unto him: A proud looke, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood" .._

Joel 3:19,

Hopefully these help.

Hello Robert. In these verses, Jesus is upbraiding the people, particularly the wicked religious leaders among them, for their ignorance, hypocrisy, & self-praise.

In this sub-section of Matthew chapter 11, from verse 16, Jesus speaks to the multitude: "But whereunto shall I liken this generation?...". From vv 16 to 19, He is deriding them on a couple of things: their behaviour like spoiled children (i.e. like children playing a game, possibly mimicking a musical procession for a wedding or some celebration. And they were calling to their friends to join them in it, but upon their refusal, they reacted unwisely to them, maybe harshly).

Secondly, when John the Baptist came, observing a strict diet (possibly under a nazaritic vow), the people accused him of being possessed with a devil. In the same breath, when Jesus came, without a special diet, eating with all & sundry of their common food, He was accused of being a glutton, a drunkard, & associated with sinners. A 'no-win' situation - the people (the leaders specifically), had to find some excuse to accuse such men of God - men who didn't collaborate with them, rather in opposition to their beliefs, dealings & lifestyle.

So Jesus finally says: "But wisdom is justified of her children." If these people used their God-given brains, eye-sight, & hearing, they would see beyond what they had for lunch & who they sat with. But they couldn't do that because they were short-sighted, dull of hearing, & foolish. So 'true wisdom' is justified by those so blessed with it: by those who look beyond the temporal & earthly, but consider the value of the work being done, the words being shared, & the life being lived.

Thank you.... The answer you have given seems like speculation.... You state that Jesus Christ was of the blood line of Mary, and yet you defend the fact that there is no blood passed from the mother to the baby.....

In Hebrews 7:21 it states the our Lord was a Priest by "oath"... Why couldn't he be from Judah by the same: Genesis 49:10.....

Your thoughts....

Thanks, Phil

Proverbs 6:16-19

16 These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:

17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,

18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,

19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.

The last part of vs. 17 is your answer

The author(s) of 2nd Corinthians 4:11 assert:

"...we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus' sake..."

They are judged by Jesus' words:

"...whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die." John 11:26

Dinosaurs existed before the flood and to a lesser extent after the flood. The record found in fossils indicates that the present planetary ecosystem is incapable of producing and supporting large bodied reptiles and mammals.

Apparently, before Noah's flood destroyed the antediluvian ecosystem, the earth could produce large bodied long living reptiles that we call dinosaurs (a word which means a fearful or monstrous lizard). The word of God states that not only did all humans, except eight, were destroyed by the flood, but also the earth itself was wrecked ( Genesis 6:13).

The first possible mention of dinosaurs in the Bible is in Job 40. God, speaking directly to the patriarch Job, challenges him regarding a mysterious beast known as the Behemoth.Now behold the behemoth, which I made along with you; he eats grass like an ox; See, now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the muscles of his belly.He moves his tail like a cedar; the sinews of his thighs are knit together. His bones are like tubes of bronze; his ribs are like bars of iron. ( Job 40:15 - 18, HBFV, see also verses 19 to 24)

The second possible reference to huge, now extinct dinosaurs is in Job 41. God, again speaking directly to Job, challenges him regarding his ability to catch or tame a creature referred to as Leviathan.Can you draw out the leviathan with a hook, or hold down his tongue with a cord? Can you put a ring into his nose, or pierce his jaw with a gaff hook? . . .Will you play with him as with a bird? Or will you bind him for your maidens? . . . ( Job 41:1 - 2, 5, also see the rest of the chapter).

The third possible reference to these large reptiles is in Genesis 1:21 where it states that God created "great sea creatures." Many Scriptural scholars feel that these references are talking about the hippopotamus, crocodile, whale or other large known animal. Other scholars of a more scientific mind suggest that these verses are actually referencing dinosaurs.

Psalm 118 only has 29 verses. Are you thinking of Psalm 119? If so, what reference are you actually looking for?
