Thank you for sharing your mom's last moments. She has given you an eternal gift to you and your many siblings through the example she has lived as a Godly woman. We never know who our own families God has predestined to be among the saved, but continue on with the hope, and don't be discouraged. Peace be with you and your family.

When Jesus told the Pharisees that the Harlots and the Whoremongers will go into the Kingdom of God b/f you...This is y i think in the end everybody is gona be saved...When he fed the multitudes he didn't want to lose not 1 crumb...He instructed his disciples to gather even the crumbs...Ya think if he didnt want to lose even 1 crumb that he wd lose 1 soul...I don't think so.

.....He died for everybody..He paid the Price for everybody, we are ALL bought with a Price his blood....Even the Harlots and the

......Whoremongers are precious in his eyes....Scriptures says even the Islands of the seas shall be converted unto me...Its not his will that any shall parish. 2 nd Peter 3 : 9 But that all should come to repentance....ALL should come to repentance.

.....If ya don't have a burden for a loss and a dying world you are not bornagain yet....We need to be TOUCHED with the infirmities of this world's pains and sorrows...It should be as a fire shup up in our bones as said Jeremiah....ok

situations. And for upholding Gigi by the power of Your Holy Spirit.

Alleluia.

My Mom is now with Jesus, having passed away in the last hour. I know she is now truly "Home".

Why was gold serpent used as idol worship to heal?

What does Paul mean in Galatians 3:19 when he says the law was given by angels to Moses, when we read in Exodus that God gave Moses the 10 commandments? Is there not a contradiction as God spoke to Moses but Paul says the law was given by angels to Moses, the mediator?

Need prayer for my Daughter and wife.

Billy,

I am sorry for your loss of your grandson. I concur with Mishael. God is a righteous judge and we can trust Him to judge rightly in every person's case. So I pray that your heart will be at peace on this matter, though you miss him.

Dear Friends,

I want to thank you for your prayers for my mother, Joan, who has been in the hospital these past two weeks with sepsis.

Yesterday, she took a downturn and Doctors said that death is near. All but one of my 9 siblings have spent days with here at the hospital on rotation these past two weeks, so we have all had many hours with her, which is a real blessing.

She made it through the night, but my hope is that she passes soon, within hours, as everyone here has spent their last times with her last night and this morning. One of my brothers is still in Hawaii getting things together to come home.

I am at peace with her going. I told her yesterday, though she was semi-conscious, that she will soon go to be with Jesus and that the angels are happy waiting for that moment. My husband and I prayed over her. My brother and I sang Amazing Grace over her.

I would just ask that you would pray for my siblings that do not know the Lord and have a very different mindset than those of us who do. There is great division in my family (and this has been for a long time). Pray that we continue to work through Mom's situation together with respect for one another and love.

I am at peace with her eminent death. She has lived a long life of 88 years with very little health problems. She is a strong person and a believer. Earlier in the week, we prayed together the Lord's Prayer. She recalled that by heart. She has been very weak for the whole two weeks and we could not have much conversation due to her discomfort and breathing troubles. But I know that presence and care speaks louder than words sometimes.

Jesus is powerful enough to make exceptions to whomever He wants, but He didn't say all thieves on crosses from now on will instantly go to heaven, or all criminals will go to heaven instantly upon death, or everyone death row will automatically go to heaven, or all Christians will go to heaven, or that all people will go to heaven instantly upon death. No, He only said to the one person next to Him that he's be in "paradise." The other thief didn't receive this.

Secondly, paradise could be a different place than heaven. Some think it may be a place for souls to wait until Jesus's return and judgment then salvation. That would make more logical sense, because Jesus said the dead will rise at that time to meet Jesus in the air then be judged. It doesn't make sense for anyone to skip judgment and go to heaven when they haven't even been judged yet, only to go back to earth in their body and repeat the process. The Bible says "all will be judged" on a particular day.

I personally believe what the Bible says in these verses:

Daniel 12:2, Job 14:12, 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18, 1 Corinthians 15:18-20, Matthew 9:24.

It was only Mark that Jesus spoke this to, so no one else of his disciples would have witnessed this.

Hi Cynthia, you know you can see the difference by just comparing them, right?

Well, all glory to God!

What I should have added is that I have 'done my own will', and I confess that to my shame, horror, and sorrow. That the Lord should save a wretch like me, and then, subsequent to that - be patient with my faults and stumbles is simply just Amazing Grace, for which I praise and thank Him! Glory to Jesus, our Mighty-to-Save-to-the-Uttermost Savior!

Doing my own will NEVER turns out pretty. It's the most human thing in the world to have 'pre-conceived ideas' about how 'our will' will turn out; we deceive ourselves by fancying how much we know, and how great our 'best laid plans are"; but more often than not, things surely to not turn out as we want; the Sovereign Lord will "break our ships at Eziongeber" as He broke up Jehoshaphat's best-laid plans ( 1 Kings 22:48).

I have started to read a book written by Thomas Boston, a minister who lived in the late 1600 to early 1700s. The name of the book is called, "A Crook in the Lot'. By 'crook' the author does not mean 'a thief', but those 'crooked turns' the Lord puts in our way, i.e., in our "lot' that He appoints for us. So far what I've read is very good, and perhaps you would enjoy it too, since it seems to deal with this subject.

In any case, I've been very blessed by your observations that the Lord has given you to share with the rest of us!

Blessings!

Where does it say women has to wear long dresses and no jewelry or make up or cut their hair?

Alex ! Your words ( even though I know they are not exactly yours ) went straight to my heart today and I realised something . I am defo a bit dumb ! I realised what it means when Christ tells the thief that's crucified next to him , "To day shalt thou be with me in paradise " 1st Thessalonians Ch 4 V 13-18 . Christ was not in paradise that day but , the next thing that the thief shall be aware of is his own resurrection and entry into the Kingdom of God , Phillipians Ch 3 V 20+21 .

What does the KJV say about age of accountability and being baptized?

So Jesus recommends usury? Considering that he drove the money lenders from The Temple with knotted cords I consider this to be Apocryphal.

GOD is judge and no one but GOD knows what's in someone's heart at the moment of death. Some GOD takes from this earth because they are too good for it. Others HE blinds so that their soul will be saved ( Romans 11:8). Today's churches have become a den of thieves. Just because he never enters a church could be a good thing for GOD tells us in the end times not even to seek HIM in Bethel (meaning Gods house) for HE will not be there Amos 5:5; Amos 5:6. God saying don't seek the church but seek him, his houses of worship are not teaching his word; all they do is pass a collection plate to hear motivation speeches not the Word of God, not worth going to those type places. Don't get me wrong there are a very few out there that teach true Christianity and great if you find one that teaches verse by verse, chapter by chapter. But I haven't found but 1. Most today have become cults! And will lead their flock to deception, so I say just because he never entered church means nothing.

Main reason being it was written in old English no one today would know how to read Old English:

The Authorized Version, as it came to be called, went through several editions and revisions. Two notable editions were that of 1629, the first ever printed at Cambridge, and that of 1638, also at Cambridge, which was assisted by John Bois and Samuel Ward, two of the original translators. In 1657, the Parliament considered another revision, but it came to naught. The most important editions were those of the 1762 Cambridge revision by Thomas Paris, and the 1769 Oxford revision by Benjamin Blayney. One of the earliest concordances was A Concordance to the Bible of the Last Translation, by John Down-ham, affixed to a printing of 1632. So much emphasis is put on our canonized bible of today of its validity, if it is truly inspired by God. I would start off by saying that the human with all their technological advancements in no way could instill the wisdom that our scripture produces. Prophecies have become true before our eyes, one only has to look at Psalms 22 that was written close to a 1K years before the crucifixion of Christ and is practically written word for word what happen to him; all the way down to Christ in his dying breathe, preached that scripture. The Bible KJV is made up of 66 books, 39 in Old Testament and 27 in the New. The old is divided into 3 parts. (1) The first five books of Moses or Pentateuch the law books (2) Which include the Prophets major and minor prophetic writings in which all have come true up until the time we are now in, closing on the 6th Seal (3) Writings - wisdom. The new Testament also divided into 3 segment's (1) The Gospels in which hire critics say contradict themselves which is ignorance of the Word (2) The churches the beginning of Christianity (3) Apostolic writings. The Bible written by 40 (meaning probation) authors over a period of 1500 years to surpass time itself and only revealed to man when appropriate.

Hi Billy , you don't give many details about your grandson , personally I don't believe that very young children are saved . I lost three babies when I was a young woman , they never saw the light of day . I decided then not to try again , it's a very comforting thought to believe that they are with Christ now but there is no evidence in the Bible that speaks very definately on this subject . So no I don't think so but I would not be sad to find out that I am wrong about this . One thing you can know for sure is that your grandson is at peace , God is love Billy , and He loves us all very much .

Billy:

1 Timothy 4:10 For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the SAVIOUR OF ALL MEN, specially those that believe.

1 John 4:14 And we have seen and do testify that God sent his Son to be SAVIOUR OF THE WORLD.

Christ CANNOT be saviour of the world: without SAVING THE WORLD.

Acts 17:31 Because he hath appointed a day, in which he will judge the world in RIGHTEOUSNESS by that man who he hath ordained; whereof he hath GIVEN ASSURANCE unto ALL MEN, in that he hath raised him from the dead.

Isaiah 26:9 ...when thy judgements (second resurrection) are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world (those raised back into their flesh at the second resurrection) WILL LEARN RIGHTEOUSNESS.

God Bless You!

please pray for Kristie and me and our families

Billy This may be a bit of comfort Jesus told the theif on the cross this day you will be with me in Paradice... Luke 23 : 24...kjv

We all have to go thru the lake of fire,...Jesus said every sinner will have their part in the lake of fire but its a cleasing fire for our old adamic nature that is in rank with satan....Jesus plainly tells us i come to bring fire on the earth which is his baptism of fire and the H.G....His judgement is his love for us...And absolutely nothing can separtate us from the love of God.

.....Who shall abide the day of his coming, Who shall stand when he appears for he shall shall be as a REFINERS FIRE AND FULLERS SOAP... Mal. 3 : 2 kjv ....Jesus tells us i come to bring fire on the earth...Which is a spritual Fire for our old adamic nature...Which is baptism of the H.G. and Fire...But this is his love for us.

....Our God is a consuming fire that is gonna consume our old adamic nature....Jesus cd not tell us he came to save mens lives and then not save everyone by his BLOOD....Only our old adamic nature is gona be lost but he is in rank with satan.

..... Romans 8 : 32 Absolutely nothin can separate us from the love of God....Not even DEATH

....Even in the O.T. it was only the forskin that was cast into the fire...Not the whole man...If thy right hand offend thee cut it off....Our right hand is our old adamic nature that is in rank with satan.

....Ya gotta reaize OUR GOD IS A CONSUMING FIRE...But his fire is also his love for us...We chastise our children simply b/c we love them.

....God is not a respector of persons, we all need his blood washing no body is exempt...Thus everybody has to go thru his lake of fire...God told Jeremiah that he wd put his words in Jeremiah's mouth and his words wd be as a FIRE TO CONSUME the ppl. Jeremiah 5 : 14....That COMSUMING FIRE IS SIMPLY HIS WORDS....The living words of God....ok GBU...God so loved the world

Wilfred:

Jeremiah 5:30 A wonderful and horrible thing is committed in the land,

Jeremiah 5:31 The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priest bear rules by their means; and my people love to have it so: and what will you do in the end thereof?

God Bless YOU!

Dear Rena, I have absolutely no doubts that God can reach down from Heaven and instantly heal your son. But sometimes He uses means available to us to heal. That is, doctors. Luke was a physician whom God chose to write the Gospel of Luke which proves that God approves of doctors. If your son fails to show improvement soon, please take him in to be checked out.

Hello Melissa. There were only twelve disciples. After Judas Iscariot betrayed Jesus & then later committed suicide, the eleven disciples came together to appoint another man to replace Judas. And this new (12th) disciple was called Matthias. You can read about it in Acts 1:15-26. These men were now known as apostles (i.e. after the death & resurrection of their Master) and Saul (also known as Paul) was later numbered with them as a servant & an apostle of Jesus Christ ( Romans 1:1).

Hi Chris. The main reference & discussion on the Gifts of the Spirit & directions for speaking in other tongues are found in 1 Corinthians chapters 12 to 14.
