1. corinthians 15 he needs the gospel, I guess you told him already ?

Sacha, Genesis 3. She was told to eat the from every tree in the garden. Why go back to the beginning?

No idea what any of those are , sorry . If it's not in the Bible then I don't know about it .

This is just my opinion so ...honesty , it's the key to any relationship . When I first read your comment I was horrified that some one , a Christian , told you to do that . In all honesty that sounds like some kind of witch craft to me . You don't say if your husband is a Christian or how long ago his happened . I think that you two definately need to talk about this , so far you haven't done so and things are not getting better so try the other option of telling him all about it and apologising , don't forget to listen to what he has to say . This , I think , needs to be sorted and you will have to make the first move . Timing is everything so pick your moment carefully . May God bless you both and keep you both close to each other and to Him .

"Have no fear" sayeth The Lord. If one loves Him how could one fear Him? He is my life, and my life would be worthless without Him.

312 years ago there was Matthew Henry.

I am blessed to have today, read his commentary.

Thank you and may The Lord Bless You for making this possible.

This website has KJV, & 1611 version, it was made that way. There are Bible apps that are different versions. This website also has a verse comparison with other translations, you may find useful

Luke 22.30

that ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

Matthew 19.28 ( says it again )

If some one can show from scriptures that Jesus is coming 3 times ? Then maybe the error of pretrib rapture should be considered. But it's not there .

Jesus answered the questions about the end times . In Matthew 24 , and Luke 21 . Check it out .

Compare to revelation as well .

1 st reserrection fits the rapture perfectly.

Thanks Richard, I am recovering well so far. Thank the Lord!

I believe you got it right Mike .

God only has one house hold of people .

Only two class of people his sheep and the goats .

The 12 apostles will rule over the 12 tribes of Israel ! Really . The lamb and God himself will be the light for his people .

Can't remember where I read it about the 12 apostles ruling the 12 tribes , that's church leaders over the Jews . The 12 apostles are the foundation of the CHURCH and Christ being the chief corner stone .

Amen

Notice they sought Jesus of Nazareth, the lowly son of the carpenter. The gospel is hid to them that are lost.

Now the name Jesus of Nazareth is the name above all creatures, above all creation. Jesus of Nazareth inscribed above his cross.

Jesus of Nazareth is God.

Also, the scriptures were fulfilled even in the details we miss.

Psalms 27:1-2

1 (A Psalm of David.) The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

2 When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.

Psalms 35:4

"Let them be confounded and put to shame that seek after my soul: let them be turned back and brought to confusion that devise my hurt."

Finally, Saul of Tarsus came confronted by the reality of Calvary.

Acts 22:8

"And I answered, Who art thou, Lord? And he said unto me, I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom thou persecutest."

I'm a Christian I have been I've truly loved getting to read the Bible more and more each day I've regarded not reading the Bible sooner so my question is....is the king james version the one ture Bible to read to get to know the word of God and Jesus..and if so will I go to hell if I don't read all of the Bible I mean I'm trying to read more and more each day I'll I be left behind if Jesus comes back before I get a chance to read it all I need someone's perspective on this question from a Christian believer I just wanted to know

Mike,

I am not trying to sway you one way or another about pre/mid/or post tribulation rapture because it's not a salvation issue. But I would like to comment on this section in Matthew you are sharing. There are two words I'm focusing on in those verses, tribes, and elect.

Now the word "tribes" is very important. That tells us that we are talking about Jewish people. It is a Jewish term. All the tribes of the earth shall mourn. And they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. All the tribes!



Again, that would be Jews.



In Revelation Chapter 1 Verse 7, it tells us that every eye will see Him, even those who have pierced Him.



Zechariah Chapter 12 Verse 10 is a prophecy that the Jews hold to, only they don't understand its application. It says that when Messiah comes, they will look upon Him whom they have pierced.



So at this time when Christ comes, at His second coming, the Jews who are left on the earth, they are going to mourn, and they are going to look and go "Oh no, we crucified our Messiah, and here He is!"

They are going to recognize Him. And we see a few verses later that the Lord's going to round them all up.

It says the great Shofar will blow, and the Lord will gather His people from the four corners of the earth. So that is very important because that's a prophecy that the Jews looked for.



Verse 31 says He is going to gather them together, his elect, (that would be the Jews), from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other, north, south, east, and west.

So those two words (tribes and elect) tell me that this is not the church Jesus is talking about.

Not sure why my last part of comment was cut off. He chastises all He loves; and if there isn't a struggle with the Spirit and it being grieved in someone's life; then likely they are not really a Christian.

The first issue is perhaps the only main one; that is what does "accepting Christ as Lord and Savior mean?" As a PERSONAL Savior there is some more meat to that framework of logic. But there are many confessors out there but not true possessors of the Holy Spirit. We must truly remain within the vine and bear fruit to be one of His ( John 15:4). Baptism doesn't save anyone; it is an act of obedience and public confession which we are commanded to do associated with our repentance as scripture indicates as well.

The second issue is the purpose for the cannabis usage. it would be nice to assume that for medicinal and prescriptive purposes; it is being used for pain relief or some other theraputic use; or that what is being used is the kind without THC.

The plant itself has much more nutrient value and is not toxic unlike tobacco; although any smoked substance is bad for the lungs. Ultimately; the Lord chastises all those He loves. One can be caught with a vice for a time; but the Spirit is only grieved if it already exists within a person; which it is not with unbelievers.

In terms of recreational use; do we want the temple of the Holy Spirit to be contaminated; or influenced by a substance that causes hallucinations and an altered conscience (even if arguably it doesn't cause addiction like other stronger substances).

Anyone who doesn't do what he knows to be right--for him it is sin. ( James 4:17). We as with any other thing we take liberty to do must also consider others who are brothers who may in their conscience consider something wrong; as well as the obvious compromising of our testimony. That same principle exists for alcohol use; along with other drugs that marijuana often is a "gateway" to. Also there are illegal vendors who will spike PCP and who knows what other dangerous substances in it that are a danger to you and anyone else involved as well as monies going to nefarious characters.

I'm not sure why such a question is asked.

When we first got married, a Christian wives' study instructed us to make lists of the things our husbands did wrong or where they could grow in the Lord to pray against those things. We were told to place it under our mattresses. My husband and I were flipping the mattress one day, and my husband found the list. He got really angry and told his family that I was keeping track of his failures (to hold them against him). I was so shocked by his response that I didn't tell him why I created the list. Ever since then, he's been very different to me. He's done to horrible things, but I keep trying to make things work. I know that I read about "leaving things in the past alone". But, I believe that if I explain what I was doing all those years ago, he would understand that I was not trying to sabotage him. I do not want to be disobedient to God and mention this issue from the past, if I am not supposed to. I have been searching for related Scripture to determine if I should bring up the incident, because, though this happened in the past, it's a current issue. TIA.

I'm sorry. I do not know why it posted under your comment.

Thank you so much!!!!! Your kind words are appreciated so much. I don't want to burn out, I will keep trying my best to do what I scan. I just can't do it all. My son has Autism and he needs me too.,

Thanks Earl, blessings to you also!

Thank you, I appreciate your response. I didn't really know if ppl would answer me. I've been a caregiver most of my life and I have loved it. I will do until I cannot.

Hey; hows your surgery doing? Anyhoo; I'm back for another one of my scripture interpretations. It is clear that since judgment doesn't come at once; man persists in his sin. This roughly is the translation of Ecclesiastes 8:11. Clearly; God has no joy in the death of the wicked; and toward His elect He waits as long as decreed through foreknowledge until the prompting of the Spirit draws them in. God demonstrates fairness by allowing men to heap up sins ( Hosea 14:1 and many other scriptures); and the desperately wicked heart becomes systematically harder as Pharoah. This pattern is evident with todays rebellion as 2 Timothy 3:1 and following verses state; and in Revelation sin will progress to people hiding from Christ and He who is seated on the Thone ( Rev. 6:16) to where they will actively fight Christ at His return ( Rev. 19:19-20; Psalm 2; etal).

In Psalm 22; we see Christ's sufferings on the cross; but also He is in the "presence of His enemies" in verse 5. There is a day of reckoning; as you know. When God endures so that no one will perish( 2 Peter 3:9); it is only effective for those He has called and chosen; but for a time the tares remain with the wheat so that His purposes can stand and when the last man to be saved comes to pass then judgment is final on the rest. Only He knows that day. The mark of the beast will "seal the deal" as it were. The test coming to the whole world will come; and the sins piled to the sky in Rev. 18 will bring His wrath in full measure to "Babylon the Great." Therefore; nations of the wicked come to full fruition or ripeness for judgment; which was the case with nations in the O.T. past as well. The wicked always are used for God's purposes as is Satan Himself.

Agape. Rich P.

Thank you for your help. Strange, my daddy had a nervous breakdown. More than one. We also raised tobacco and a big garden. There was always work to do. I'm glad I had that raising. It's just my brother and me. Since my daddy's passing, things are very different. I try to be there and help as much as possible. My grandma will be coming to stay with me for a little while. That's precious, I look forward to it. We had hay, corn. Lots of things we raised on the farm. Pigs, cows. Bless your Mother. I can't imagine having 10 kids. Women were tuff then. I like to think I was. Time has taken a toll though. Thank you for replying. God Bless.

Strange question. I at best will give my best guess; since I have never heard it discussed before. The thought that comes to mind is that eventually; that expanse above was likely to be used as a judgment in the time of Noah; when the waters above (i.e. canopy before rain fell on the earth and a mist covered the ground) as well as those above would consume the earth. Some believe in a "gap" theory in between Gen. 1:1 and 2 when the earth was "without form and void" and also apparently mentioned in Zechariah which was an earlier flood that destroyed Lucifer and other spirit beings kingdom which he had established after being cast out of heaven when he and his angels fell with him. Therefore; it would be a sort of intermediate period when the "die was cast" so to speak; and also likely when Satan used fallen angels to corrupt the offspring of Adam so that only Noah was "perfect in his generations"; hence once again bringing a worldwide flood. That flood would bring 8 survivors; the first one if spiritual beings merely destroyed their first attempt at "filling the city with violence through trade" as Isaiah 14 and Ezekiel 28 seem to indicate was Lucifer's pastime.

That's my best guess. Agape. Rich P

Very interesting question. Only God can forgive sin; but we are told to "confess our sins to one another". ( James 5:16). We are told to reconcile with a brother before "offering a gift before the altar" ( Matthew 5:24). If we bear unforgiveness in our hearts; then the effectiveness of His grace is stunted; for the woman who put the perfume on Christ was forgiven much so she loved much ( Luke 7:47).

All of us individually are accountable before God. We can forgive "seventy times seven" ( Matthew 18:22); and Ephesians 4:32 indicates that we are to forgive others even as God has forgiven us. If we don't forgive others then God won't forgive us according to Matthew 6:14-15. This wouldn't necessarily indicate that we are nonbelievers; but if we don't bear fruit "worthy of repentence" ( Matthew 3:8-10) then we have to seriously test ourselves to see if we are in the faith ( 2 Cor. 13:5).

So the short answer is that God can only forgive others if they are wanting forgiveness. Each of us is judged individually; and since we are not God we don't have the authority as Christ did to forgive sins as the Pharisees stated only God can forgive sins ( John 20:23). Confessing our sins to one another can allow transparency so that the Lord can possibly speak a word of wisdom which in turn gives someone a better understanding of themselves; as well as clearing up what can be a stone wall in relationships ( Prov. 18:19). The best we can do is a formulaic process to give a partial assessment of sins in others as only God knows the intentions and motives of the heart even if the Spirit gives us a glimpse into such things. It is the same as asking can we save anyone by "confessional regeneration". The words are only effective if God grants one repentance first ( Acts 11:18; etc). Indirectly then; forgiving one another allows God to repair the sin or estrangement with Him.

why did cain kill abel? there had to have been some type of disagreement between the two that made him angry enough to kill his brother, it says and cain talked with abel.
