Romans 4:3

Gabriel, I loved what you said about looking up and not looking around you! It was good to hear that today. Thank you!

Keep the faith. God blesses us when we keep our eyes on Him, believing He will do it, and not looking around at our circumstances.

I do believe that God is FOR marriage. It's a covenant not to be taken lightly. And no man should put asunder what the Lord has joined together. I believe it's His will to restore and bless marriages. Please continue to stay faithful and pure while you wait for her. That pleases the Father and you will also have no regrets later. The devil will try to take that from you to hinder your prayers and cause you to sin before the Lord. Stay strong!

Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for giving Gabriel the strength and faith to stand in the gap for his wife Gabby and his marriage. I pray that You bless and strengthen his faith as he waits on You. Help him to be the strong spiritual leader that Gabby needs in her life. Please allow her to desire You above all, Lord, and renew her love for Gabriel. Protect them both. Please heal and restore this marriage. In Jesus name. Amen.

The badger is an unclean animal. Is the badger referenced here the same animal that we know as a badger?

Does the bible support a women Pastor or Bishop.I know already that the bible supports women in ministering the word, just to clarify.

Well Alex, I see that you believe that Romans 8:38,39 is Paul "addressing the whole world", when the whole chapter is clearly to Christians ONLY. With such an interpretation you give to this & most other Scriptures, there's no more that can be written that could guide you further into the Truth. So I will leave it that Alex; I was hoping that we could have had a meaningful discussion on various verses, but I see you have your own interpretations. GBU.

what does the bible say about creamation

Thank yu again, Chris.

Very informative.

Happy Easter!

Eliyyah is Hebrew, Elias is the Greek form of that.

Thank you for the informative explanation.

God bless!

Happy Easter 2022 everyone, remember that you are valuable as i will try and write to you in black and white. So pray for the spirit of wisdom right now.

Think so well: John 15:2 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, He purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.

Think of those of you who have lost loved ones in recent years, or maybe right now! These people who are in Paradise right now! (They are lifted up it says in an older edition). It means that the servant of the Lord has been given rest. And for those who are left full of sorrow and bitterness, No far from you friend! In Jesus Holy Name. The rest of us He will prune so that we can reap more souls for Him who can and said: It is finished. In Jesus name

And we take a little jump to John 16:8-11 And when He is come, He will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:

Pleace read it one more time! We know that here the Lord means the Holy Spirit that He was to send after He was risen from the dead.

Of sin, because they believe not on Me;

Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see Me no more;

Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.

So what is true judgmental sin? It says so.

So what does justice really mean. We are reminded of James 5:16 where it says: Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. There was one answer we have several examples of justice:

Romans 3:21-26 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;

Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:

For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: There came the answers to the other two.

Grae you are absolutly right...scripture says anything not of faith is sin...gamblin is not of faith in any way...its of gain and paul said godliness with contentment is much gain....

Jesse Rev 12 : 7 Speaks of WAR in heaven....Satan and his angels want to destroy the Woman that has given birth to the manchild

And john spoke of violence in heaven...The Kingdom of heaven suffers violence and the violent take it by force.

Bur Jesus was the kingdom of God and he ate with sinners...They that be whole need not a physician but them that are sick.

Hope this helps you in some way Jesse....GBU

Bro. Christ you are the one who does not know True Context...Jesus our lord plainly tells us they that be whole need not a physician but them that are SICK...Thats everybody simply b/c there was none Righteousness NO NOT ONE...Chris you are of the mind frame that our conduct saves us, its what he did at Calvary that is gonna save everybody...The whole world is sick...The whole world needs a Physician...Chris we have been in that time period Jesus warns us of ..a time of darkness...Remember Jesus said I AM THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD BUT THE NITE COMES WHEN NO MAN CAN WORK...Lets look at the true context...Modern day Christianity is in Darkness simply b/c we do not have the Kingdom yet...The Book has not been opened just yet with the words of life...Remember Peter asked Jesus to whom shall we go lord thou has the words of eternal life...( the book in the right hand of the FATHER ) that he wrote with his own blood.

....Chris keep in mind that God so loved the whole world...What Jesus did at calvary is gona save EVERYBODY....Its everybody that needs a physician Chris...I pray that God opens your understanding...You remind me so much of the Pharisees....And our Physician has a very potent cure for our illness...its His Blood...When we yet sinners ( the whole world ) Christ died for US.

.... Romans 8 : 38...Absolutly nothin can separate us from the Love of God....he is not speaking to just Christians...this is addressed to whole world as God so loved the world that he gave us his son...neither life nor death nor angels nor things present nor things to come nor hunger nor distress etc etc...Chris we cannot limit God when we limit God we cut him out completely...Chris Doncha remember David saw ALL the world at rest and full of his Glory...shall we tear that out .

Please pray for Kristie and me and our families today

It says in the new and Old Testament, that all men will know God in His day yet to come .

Every knee will bow every Eye will see Him .

Why because the truth is Jesus paid for the sins of all , by his blood and death . So all belong to Jesus .

But not all will believe in him and not all are written in the lambs book of life , therefor cast into the lake of fire .

Many make the mistake of thinking what Alex is saying will get them into heaven etc . But no those that believe in Christ's life and follow him a the cost of their fleshly life and the things of the world will .

Apostle Paul said I'm dead to the world and his own self . By the cross the power of God . To walk in newness of Life . This is what baptism is about . Dead to sin and alive unto God , through Christ .

Jesus is Lord of all . He bought them with his blood and death .

But many do not believe in his life and refuse to follow or obey .

If you know the NT you should be familiar with my references .

Concerning this passage Patrick, I believe that the Lord Jesus may have explained to His disciples that Elias (Elijah) who came, came in the spirit & power as was seen endued in the person of John the Baptist. The Angel of the Lord spoke to Zacharias (John's father) of the prophecy that was upon his coming son: Luke 1:17, "And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord." This was not Elijah reincarnated, but the man John the Baptist who would display the same zeal & power of words & action as did Elijah.

Actually Patrick, the KJV shows the name as 'Elias' not Elisha (two different people). And Elias is another form of the name 'Elijah' (from the Hebrew, Eliyyah). So the RSV & KJV both speak of the same man, Elijah.

Hi Lance. Lotteries or any form of gambling is not written about in the Bible, so it becomes a matter between you & God. How does the Spirit guide you or speak when you are planning to wager some money?

Just speaking for myself & being an ex-gambler, that was one of the first areas of my life (amongst others), where I was severely dealt with by God when He drew me to Himself. I learnt about the Laws of Probability at school, yet still enjoyed the 'excitement' of anticipating a win (which of course rarely came). The lure of gambling is as potent & devastating as to the one given to excessive compulsive drinking. It has the potential to take a small monetary 'flutter' & make it into an addiction, causing a departure of any sensibility we might have had. And that is why we're encouraged "to abstain from all appearance of evil" ( 1 Thessalonians 5:22). It may not seem an 'evil' at the time, but evil has a very large mouth & appetite.

We are to fully trust God for our monetary needs, indeed, all our needs ( Matthew 6:24-34; Hebrews 13:5) and what He does give to us to use, we must use wisely & for His Glory & benefit of others. I believe that He is pleased when the resources He gives us to use are used well, but when they are wasted in ways that almost guarantee a complete loss & ensuing breach in our spirit, He would be disappointed. Bring the matter before the Lord, think on these things & consider the consequences, dear friend.

No , not Joel olsteen , I don't think much of him either . He focuses far to much on getting things in this life and being successful in this world . That's just my opinion , sorry if I've offended any one , I'm even sorry if I offended Joel olsteen but I have to say what I believe .

The lottery is gambling . Some people consider gambling to be a sin . As Christians we are not supposed to be conformed to this world . That means that we should think about something carefully before we do it . Example : if a lot of non Christians are doing something , think about wether or not u should b doing it also . Would u find Jesus gambling at the race track ? Or in a strip club ? Or buying a lottery ticket ? If u r a Christian u need to think about these things . I know Christians who do the lottery , I'm not one of them .

Dear friend i can not give u a good answer. It is what it stands. John the baptist, had allready being on earth. All the ppl knew that.

God bless u and yours in Jesus name, words from John 15:18 and John 16:5-15

Hello Louie. Your question is easy to answer, but if one should ask 'how do we know when that re-birth takes place', that would require more details. The time of re-birth, is at the very moment when God sends His Holy Spirit to indwell the repentant sinner. Some might feel sorry for their sins but have no intention to leave them. But when one is truly repentant, calling upon Jesus to save his wretched soul, a wonderful work & transaction is made. Sins are forgiven & removed & the Holy Spirit is given to seal & secure ( Ephesians 1:3-14). His entrance into our lives means that some immediate changes must take place - sometimes more noticeable changes, though most certainly that instant peace with God, joyful assurance of sins forgiven, a hunger for things of God & to start living for Him, etc. This is all the Work of His Spirit, when once that person had no such desires in his heart.

Romans 8:9,10: "ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness." This is a clear simple verse saying that we don't belong to Christ if His Spirit is not indwelling us (i.e. if we are not born again by His Spirit). Our bodies might be in a state of continual deterioration, but our once dead spirits (God-wards), are now given a new life by the Life-giving Spirit. And when the Spirit is in residence, a continual Divine Work will go on with a hunger for God's Word & knowledge of Him, living to please the Lord, dealing with any sin that comes before us, & receiving Grace & strength for every situation. "if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new": 2 Corinthians 5:17. This is re-birth - only by God's Spirit.

Yes ELB , I happen to be reading Romans at this time Ch 7 V 14 - 25 and continuing into Ch 8 . In Ch 7 Paul says ' For I know that in me dwelleth no good thing ' if Paul can say this then how much more readily should we confess this ! V 25 of Ch 7 : I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord . So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God ; but with the flesh the law of sin . Ch 8 V 5 - 8 : For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh ; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit . For to be carnally minded is death ; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace . Because the carnal mind is enmity against God : for it is not subject to the law of God , neither indeed can be . So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God . Romans Ch 7&8 ,two awesome chapters . The law of God being love , peace and obedience . Love God , love each other , seek peace within ourselves through Christ , seek peace with others because we love Christ and obey God . Much love in Christ .

My belief Dotha, is that they return back to the earth. Ecclesiastes 3:19-21 seems to spell this out; keeping in mind that the writer is speaking generally about the flesh of man & beast that go the same way: back to dust.

However, he writes, "Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth?". This can be understood in various ways, but I feel that it speaks of the eternality of the human spirit (that they return to God Who judges men), whereas the life of the animal perishes in the ground, holding no accountability before its Maker. Some believe that our pets will also go to Heaven, but I don't find any Scripture to support that belief; and even if they do go, will that include all other animals in the world & even the smallest living organism created by God? I suppose one day we'll know for sure.

Dear Gigi , I object to no one's honest opinions on here , this is a place of open and Frank discussion . The only thing I object to is that inflammatory language such as ' unhealthy and devilish attitude ' . Please remember that most of the time on here we are all either commited Christians or people wanting to learn more about the Bible . When we knowingly insult each other it is the same as insulting Christ himself , we shouldn't do it and I know enough about u to know that in hindsight u probably regret the words u used because u r a Christian lady .

Lord God in Heaven I am not convinced by what I see but what I know. I am told by the power of my God in Heaven. Don't look around you look up. Lord God I am convinced by what you put in my heart that my wife Gabby returns to me quickly. Lord God I know when your in control you do a quick work. Help me to remain faithful and pure as I wait. Guide her and me to pray for each other. Release the stubbornness and the bitterness and all the evil feelings she has towards me and replace it with a desire to reconnect and reconcile. Lord God just as You did for Moses with Aaron. God you told Moses Aaron would have joy in his heart for seeing Moses. Lord God you make the impossible Possible. In Jesus Name we thank you for answering this prayer. Amen

Please continue to pray for my brother Michael. The Holy Spirit will lead and guide him. For this I know. For I serve a God that over powers any situation. In Jesus Name.

Hi Giannis. I don't agree with that statement. What I read in the NT, is that the believers broke bread together whenever they came together - at least that is the sense I get from Acts 2:42-47. It seems that whenever they came together for fellowship, whether on the Lord's Day or any other day, then during their meal they set a time aside to remember the Lord's Death (even as the Lord did when He first instituted it in Luke 22:1-20). And of course, that meal of bread & drink were representative of His broken Body & shed Blood & did not mystically reconstitute itself into those human substances.

The Church today does not function exactly as the early Church did; if we were to in this regard of the Lord's Table, then when believers meet together anywhere for a fellowship meal, it would be good to set a time aside to remember the Lord, both in discussion, prayer & breaking of bread in memory of the Lord Jesus. If the Church no longer recognizes the Lord's Supper, then they should probably remove water baptism as well, as both these were ordinances laid out by the Lord & given to the Church.
