How do you know if you've been "chosen"??

I got "saved" in 1974. Am I really? Have I been deceived/deceiving myself the whole time?

Yes. God loves us. Jesus loves us. But God will not allow the rebellious or unrepentant person into Heaven.

I've come to the realization that I am nothing more than a poser. I am a blasphemer. I have repeatedly questioned God, "Why, why, why do you allow evil to run over us?" I have accused God of making mistakes, and being an absentee father.

When I see how the good things of God/Jesus have been perverted and destroyed, I shake my fist at the sky and say, "DO SOMETHING!" Is that faith or blasphemy?

A while back I went through a peculiar supernatural event: every day I felt as if I was standing on the edge of the Lake of Fire.

It really creeped me out. Then, every morning when I'm waking up, I have the most horrible/shameful/terrifying/wicked thoughts. I'm pretty sure the Lord is trying to tell me something but I don't know what. Am I doomed or is this just a warning?

Jesus said that blasphemy against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven in this world or the next. Is there a difference between willful blasphemy and blasphemy done out of ignorance? Or is blasphemy just blasphemy, period.

Thank you, Adam,

We truly need to defend correct doctrine concerning Who and What God is as revealed in Scriptures. He is a Godhead, as you say. The Father, the Son, and Spirit are distinct Persons, yet are unified in one Being. We may not be able to fully comprehend this mystery, but we can clearly see in Scripture that this is true. You have listed multiple Scripture references as has been done repeatedly in past conversations. We must continue to do so, even if those who adhere to the "Oneness" doctrine and reject the truth of the Triune nature of the Godhead are not able to accept this truth.

The baptism of Jesus and His Transfiguration are two examples of the interactions between the Persons of the Godhead that was experienced by those with Jesus. Jesus' Last Supper Discourse in John's Gospel is another example with Jesus speaking of the Father as a separate Person than Himself yet there is a shared Oneness between them. He also promises to send the Holy Spirit, (again, a separate Person) who will come from both Himself and the Father (two separate Persons send the third Person).

Then in Matthew 28:18 Jesus says to baptize in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. That is very plain speaking to me.

I pray that God will give understanding and faith to those who deny the triunity of the Godhead and that we will come to have one mind on this. Again, thank you for defending this truth.

I'm not sure who you think it judging you or in general but Christ Jesus never commanded us to judge souls as that's Spiritually impossible. The only one who can do so is God (eternal judgement). Then, there's judgement for disdain or dislike...Christ stated to those who judged this way to pull the mote from their own eye first before judging brethren.

Then...what should Christians be judgmental in if anything? Discernment. The born again have the Holy Spirit to help us discern what's right and wrong. If you see a Christian swearing, rebuke them and explain to them why that's wrong with the Bible. Rebuke is a form of discerning judgement. If there's apostasy in a ministry...that needs to be judged and discerned. God will judge above everything but He expects us to be vocal about it as was the apostle Paul in the below verses:

Ephesians 4:14-16

"That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; but speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: from whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love."

This is a global site for KJV readers and born again believers all around the world. The majority of your posted are centered around getting people to check into Western political hype, YouTube and other outside media or internet preachers. Please, read the comment guidelines. You could have easily said, "pray for those being persecuted in Nigeria by evil principalities in high places (quote the Bible)." That way these posts are edifying to all readers. I see Donna's comment that she stopped watching news because it's stressful. Propaganda is stressful because we get so focused on whatever our regional political doctrines are that we're not put the whole of that toward the Bible.

This is the King James Bible Online...post relative to the King James Bible Online. There's a way to make this point without constantly telling readers "go an watch this person or this thing on YouTube" or facsimile thereof.

To know that The Spirit of GOD dwells in us, it is His breath that we breathe in our life every second, every minute, every hour of everyday Amen. In Genesis 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living soul, that's us that is the same breath that we are breathing today right now as the Holy Spirit speaks, Amen. We are Royal Priest hood, we are a chosen generation, we are ambassadors for Christ Jesus you got to know who you are, and who's you are, you are Rich, not speaking of material things, we are rich in all things because of Our Heavenly Father in the Name of Jesus, you have everything to look forward too, don't look behind you, your future is before you. Pray to Our Heavenly Father to put those that is of Him around you that you will continue to grow in Him, (Iron sharpens Iron) Amen. Ephesians 5:1 Be ye (you) followers of GOD as dear children. We were created to create like our Heavenly Father we say what he say, and we do what He say do, in his word he said to walk by Faith and not by sight, when you pray believe and you shall receive, Amen. The Spirit of God talks through the reading of His word that is written in the bible. To know that you are more than a conquer, you are a Child of GOD. When you Pray in secret God will reward you openly, Amen. GOD IS LOVE, and LOVE IS GOD.

Brother adam: do not be offended.

i am not denying the divinity of christ.

the problem is you, and others, believe one scripture but then don't believe another scripture.

you believe: john 10:30 the father and i are one. divinity

you don't believe: john 17:21 that you and christ become one. divinity

you quote these scriptures, but you don't believe them

you don't believe: philippians 2:6 let this mind be in you, christ in the form of god thought it not robbery to be equal to god. divinity

you don't believe:: genesis 1:26 you were made in the image of god. divinity

you don't believe: 2 corinthians 5:19 to wit, that god was in christ (a body, a man)(and yes this make christ divine, reconciling the world to himself .......all will be divinity

you don't believe: matthew 28:19 ...baptising them in the father, son, and holy ghost.... this baptism make you: one with them, now there is no longer three, a trinity.

you don't believe: 1 corinthians 15:28 .....and god will be all in all. everyone divinity; not three.

your right we as brothers are to come together and rightly divide the word of god: truth vs falsehoods.

to repent has more to do with teachings than sins of the flesh.

as we come to truth, we repent, of our beliefs hundreds of times, of the falsehoods that have invaded the true gospel.

it's war: flesh vs divinity.

god bless you!

The bible is very clear that Jesus Christ was from the tribe of Judah..

What 'qualified' him to be of this tribe?

Hebrew days were from sunset to sunset'; the 24 hours were divided into 12 hours of the night (reckoned from sunset); and 12 hours in the day (reckoned from sunrise. See John 11:9) Hence the 6th hour of John 19:14 was our midnight; the 3rd hour of Mark 15:25 was our 9AM; the 6th hour of Mathew 27:45; Mark 15:33, Luke 23:44, Acts 10:9, was our noon; the ninth hour of Mathew 27:45,46; Mark 15:33,34; Luke 23:44, was our 3PM

Expression a night and a day equals a 24 hour day ( 2 Corinthians 11:25) denotes a complete day (Gr. nuchthemeron)

Need a prayer

Thank you for sharing

Dear Ruth, there was a season ago when I lost my husband that I wanted to die, and I knew exactly how to do it where I'd likely just go to sleep. And got worse as the days progressed to facing homelessness and trying to rehome my beloved American Bulldog. All I wanted to do was go to sleep and never wake up. Wanting to commit suicide was a living thing inside me...a possession. But God kept me from even attempting. I found out later that He had resolved this heartache long before it reared its ugly head. I found what I hope was a good home for my dog. I moved in with my sister, taking the things I could, and abandoning the rest. I still live with her. The Lord has blessed me so much for enduring that season of loss. I wrote and published a novel and am writing the second book. But most of all, I have the joy of the Lord in my heart. Seek the Lord, Ruth, lean on Him. He has it all worked out. Just believe and have faith. God bless you!

Jesus fit out the children with Your Spirital, Celestial armor that will resist the devil's strikes. Give each piece after the manner You specified in Your word from mind to body, as vulnerable mankind might be, the power of the Lord shall keep them from flipping onto a bad way. Like soldiers in the church, they shall be yielding only to the guidance You have pleased to walk towards you all their days. Amen.

I am openly humble to the blessed response from I put this post up,I am very very grateful I keep reading them over and over to keep me safe from bad thoughts,trust me I'm a fighter I don't give in easy but this time seems more stronger than the usual attacks this is how I ended up here asking for help.Satan never wins God is my life and saviour my healer my everything.... I would love to share my testimony with the church due to my unfortunate past these factors in my life lead to me why I am here today speaking with you it is the power of the Holy Spirit sending me here.I'm from Northern Ireland so I do have a good testimony I just don't know how to platform it.

Thanks you all Sincerely for your support it was everything I need and more. Your a faithfully Ruth

Jesus fill Gordan with the verve and nerve throughgoing in his body that he may raise back up as the young would. If his faith should be dropping when pain might waver it as pain is not ignorable sometimes, comfort him to feel free. Amen.

Jesus unbind this soul away from the cords of depression regarding this matter, as You did to afflictions in the NT. Amen.

Who has made himself ,what the Lord wants and expects?

It is impossible to know His will for us unless we make ourselves available!

Much like the stone mason , who has an image of what too build, yet He will never know the image until He starts to lay the stone.

The stone is heavy, it is in no certain size, or shape, it is difficult to begin his work, for it is so uncertain!

The final outcome is unknown, yet he looks at each piece as it lays before him.

There are some pieces that will need to be reshaped, and now he begins to see what will take shape!

His hands are sore, his back is weak, His spirit however overcomes it all , as what will become His work will forever be seen!

This is, you see , His work.

This stone He lays with His hands is guided by the unseen!

If only you could see the unseen, than you too would become His workmanship!

Repent and be Baptized

please remember me in your Prayers today

Trust in the Lord Gabe , trust in his word , His promises are real , His promises are true , He will never leave you or forsake you , Come all unto me who Labor and of Heavey burden and I will give you rest , Give it all to him . take your hands off the situation and turn it all over to the Lord , You are in my prayers Gabe , trust in the Lord with all thine Heart , and lean not into thine own understanding

Quit yourselves like men doesn't mean act macho and be ready to fight; that's why "be strong/courageous/etc. is specified ALONGSIDE it. Sometimes the wise and most courageous thing a man can do is stand down and avoid conflict. God calls on us to be humble and gentle as well. Maybe "quit ye like men" simply means "Act like men/humans/civilized", etc. Because it warlording were in every man's inherent nature, then those other traits wouldn't have needed to be clarified.

It's the middle of the night and I'm up praying for you.

Know that

He is with you.

He is faithful.

A friend that sticks closer than a brother.

He cares for YOU

Psalms 23 Psalms 91

Thanks soo much to you and everyone with such big hearts on here .

The Bible literally refers to God as Godhead, so the few who are uncomfortable with that term can simply use the word Godhead instead. There's a mountain of scriptures showing the dynamic and divinity of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. We're here to defend Jesus Christ and anyone trying to discredit or smear His divinity. We should all pray for wisdom, understanding and truth as we read the scriptures so that we are not mislead by the enemy and buy into things that merely fulfill our itching ears.

Hi Sebastian. The Genesis account doesn't give us detail about the creation of 'air" (or, you might be referring to oxygen & the many chemical elements that make up our atmosphere). Maybe detailing it, was considered unimportant, as the creation of living things by God would have meant that the 'air' they breathed in would have contained all the elements needed for their existence. But it could be argued whether there was oxygen on the planet before the creation of living things.

Yes, you may have to search for it, as all we have is Matthew chapter 1 and Luke chapter 3 for the genealogies. And as far as I can ascertain, none of the names listed in those portions (except for Abraham originally from Ur of the Chaldees), leads me to the Babylon area.

Okay, thank you John. I understand now that you reject the NT epistles as questionable. I guess we have no more to discuss.

Please God hear Ruth's prayers for her sons. Please protect from the deceptions of the devil and the worldly behaviors that are tempting to them. Please Holy Spirit guide them to having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ continually and enrich them with Your spiritual gifts I pray in the name of Jesus Christ

I pray for wisdom for you and for peace. In Jesus name amen
