Do children go to Heaven if they die. If so , where is the scripture to support this.

Hi Darris , I've always wondered if perhaps it was because they didn't believe the messengers because they were women . Maybe they didn't believe that the women had seen the risen Christ before they themselves had seen him . Mark Ch 16 V 11 . I think that the apostles expected to be the first ones to have seen Jesus , not a couple of women . A bit of male arrogance perhaps ? Maybe or maybe not , this is just my take on what it says .

Hi Gigi,

I just wanted to say you are in my thoughts and prayers, and that you can already feel stronger as the hours go by! :)

Most of all, may you sense, through this whole ordeal, the nearness of the Lord; may He speak encouraging, quickening words to your spirit, and may the Word hold more joy for you than ever! May you be able to look back on this time and rejoice that in spite of the circumstances---it was a blessed time! Amen!

In Jesus,

-Kay-

Dear Gigi

I think i completely agree with your second comment. We have yet many to learn about our Lord and God and that will be going on forever and i think we will never get to know Him completely.

God Bless You.

What is Jesus's right as the son of man?

Amen, Brother Alex, The Holy Ghost is WORKING in creation to bring creation to TRUTH.

Revelation 2:28 And I will give him the morning star.

Revelation 22:16 ....I am the the root and offspring if David, the bright and shining star.

Job 38:7 When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?

Revelation 1:20...the STARS are the ANGELS ....

Psalms 104:4 Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers (priest) a flaming fire:

Psalms 103:20 Bless the Lord, YE HIS ANGELS, who excel in strength, and do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.

Perilous and uncertain times have come. Pray that I will live boldly in Jesus Christ, fearing no man!

After being saved and believing in what Jesus did on the cross, understanding the blood shed by Jesus Christ, I re-read again the Bible with some miraculous clear messages. I am sure that I knew I was deceived since young about religion. Now I will not be toss to and fro to listen to these liars.

I knew in some bizarre way, people is not telling the truth at such a young age. I just cannot explained. Then I made God my best friend since because my Mama told me there is God who will not lie.

It amazes me why nobody tells these Leaders in All deceiver churches to stop their lying to people.

Do they not know the punishment of Eternal damnation as a learned leaders of the church (i.e. Believers of the blood of Jesus Christ)?

I know money is the root of all evil and power blinded many.

I do believe we are given a grace period, which is to me the most loving and generous thing God could ever give to each one of us sinners who really do not deserve forgiveness.

We have many examples in the Bible to learn the power of the Holy Spirit given to us after Jesus died on the cross. We Gentiles needed to read Paul's Gospel and epistles and the Book of Acts. And the entire Bible when you received the Holy Spirit.

I was baptized by water 3X (Catholic, Mormon, Seven Day Adventist) because of ignorance and young mind. But I never received the Holy Spirit in any of those water baptisms the way I did when I understood the blood shed by Jesus Christ.

You have to know that this world is too evil. You can tell and see it with your own eyes.

I tried to share my conviction that there is one God, one King and there is heaven and hell after being close to death 2X.

Now I understood, you cannot make people think the way you do when you know the True God and understand the Kingdom of God and the Holy Spirit in you.

As God knows His people, the true believer knows the saints living here on earth.

Hebrews 8:11 reminded us again to know the Lord.

Amen Bro Earl Gbu well said....

Familiar with it only in the sense of historical research and why it's not scriptural but unsound doctrine.

2 Timothy 4:3-4

"For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables."

It's a fable or to go into some of the history, it belongs to a group of many (close to 40 or more) pseudepigraphal books that were written long after the original 66 books of scripture. Ethiopians, Mormons and other religions use the book of Enoch as an "extra" to their many other false religious works which often contradict the Bible. Some claim that the quote of Enoch by Jude are identical but that's not by mistake; the alikeness in the verses is due to the copyists who wrote Enoch used the quote from the book of Jude. The early church knew nothing of the existence of the book of Enoch as it didn't exist then.

The book of Revelation is the sum of everything in the Bible and everything to come. Look only to one Bible and the warning I gave before on this -- I give again (not from me but from God):

Revelation 22: 18 & 19

"For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book."

Yes John the Baptist was Elijah reincarnated. When one of the disciples questioned Jesus about him coming before Elijah, Jesus told him that Elijah has already come. And also he said that Elijah would come before the end, which means he's coming back once again. Anyone who believes differently is calling our Christ a liar and is the Anti-Christ.

Someone said something about pagans Celebrating Christmas is PAGAN along with all the other fake man made up holidays!

Kenneth,

In Matthew 11:14, when Jesus was speaking about John the Baptist, Jesus said that John the Baptist was Elijah who was to come. Jesus is referring to Malachi 4:5 that tells us that Elijah will come before Messiah comes, and Elijah will be the forerunner to the Messiah.

However, we have a problem here because in John Chapter 1, when the leadership sent people out to ask John, "Are you the Messiah?" John said, "No!" "Are you the prophet?" which by the way is also a term for the Messiah. Again, John said no. "Are you Elijah?" He said no again.



So he is John the Baptist, but he is not Elijah. But Jesus said this is Elijah who was to come. So either John didn't know who he was, or he was confused or something? Even in Matthew Chapter 17 in the Transfiguration, when they came down off the hill, the disciples understood what Jesus said about John the Baptist, that John the Baptist was Elijah. But John said he isn't.

So was he Elijah or not? The answer to that is found in Luke 1:17, when the angel came to announce to Zacharias that his wife Elizabeth was going to give birth, which would be John the Baptist. And he said that he (John) will come in the spirit and power of the Elijah, the "spirit and power" of Elijah. John the Baptist is going to have the same ministry as Elijah. He is not going to be Elijah personally, but he has the same ministry as Elijah.

Therefore, that settles our dilemma about John. He says no, I'm not Elijah, I'm John. However, the Spirit's anointing upon him was that he came in the spirit and power of Elijah. The same spirit that had anointed Elijah was the same spirit that anointed John.

Hope this helps!

Isaiah 5:11

"Woe unto them that rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink; that continue until night, till wine inflame them!"

There are many alcoholics in the church today. When I first got saved I recall a man saying we should drink alcohol socially because Jesus changed water to wine at the wedding feast. However, if you read the Greek...that wine Jesus transformed was unfermented (contained no alcohol). There are those which believe the A.A.'s philosophies will help and yet they state for 2, 20, or more years that they're still alcoholic in pledge. The only cure is in Jesus Christ and to seek after His great Salvation. Understand, I too suffered from alcoholism more than once in my life. It's ugly because it will allow us to become open targets for Satan and a shame to our families as was the case with Noah ( Gen 9:21-25).

We need to be vigilant and garnered with the full armor of God. But under substance or intoxication...we deteriorate that protection by giving Satan a doorway to enter. Whereas the Bible called us:

1 Peter 5:8

"Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:"

Is praying in tongues biblical?

There were multitudes of witnesses that day and the soldiers who took Jesus Christ up to Mount Calvary saw plenty. I imagine there had to be some that were saved that day. Despite the hardness of their heart -- some were there are witness' only and watching. What did that do to the hearts of many? It's an answer we won't know on this side of the grave but I imagine there were some. Rome was judged for sure though on a separate thought. Rome thought they'd be the immortal power to the world and they killed nearly all the apostles (minus John). Now look at them...in ruins. Just the catholic religion that stands but there's no empire, no power. Those who used to carry swords are out in the streets of Rome today selling tourist gifts. But the Blood of Christ has and WILL NEVER lose it's power.

The Bible does not mention smoking * or other means of using tobacco. However, it contains principles showing that God does not approve of unhealthy and unclean habits and thus views smoking as a sin.

Respect for life. "God . . . gives to all people life and breath." ( Acts 17:24, 25) Since life is a gift from God, we should not do anything that would shorten our life, such as smoking. Smoking is one of the main causes of preventable death worldwide.

Love of neighbor. "You must love your neighbor as yourself." ( Matthew 22:39) Smoking around others does not show love. Those who are routinely subjected to secondhand smoke are at higher risk of some of the same diseases that smokers often suffer from.

Kenneth:

Ephesians 4:4 There is ONE BODY, and ONE SPIRIT ....

Ephesians 4:6 ONE GOD, and FATHER OF ALL .....

Every man has his being in this ONE SPIRIT, although most haven't come to this TRUTH, YET

Spirit is Life and Truth.

John was not the reincarnation of Elijah, but did the WORKS OF GOD through this One Spirit, this One Power, just as Elijah did; John came in the Spirit of Elijah, but that Spirit is God.

You have you being in this One Spirit, and when this One Spirit wants you to do something, you also will be like Elijah and John and everyone else BORN OF TRUTH.

Philippians 2:13 For it is God (Spirit) that worketh IN YOU both TO WILL and TO DO his pleasure.

Amen Bro. Dan but this Isaiah 11 is Right here on this Earth..As Verse 9 says the EARTH shall be full of the Knowlege of the lord as the waters cover the Seas...All these animals are symbolic language for ppl and their personalities...The CHILD that leads them is their new innerman which is the H.G. that Child of Promise...They have birth these Children that leads them..As Isaiah said a lil Child is gonna lead them...The mountain is the Kingdom of God where the Children wants to lead them .. Hebrews 12 : 22...You are come unto mt. ZION THAT heavenly Jerusalem...The city of the living God etc..Isaiah mentions the sucking Child and the woman with Child a great company which answers to Rev 12 : 5 she brought forth a man Child that is gona RULE ALL NATIONS...( the spirit of truth) the H.G. that Jesus said was gonna reprove the World of sin and Judgement and righteousness.

....The lil Child that leads them is the H.G. The Child of Promise...All the Animals are just symbolic language for ppl that have birth the Child of Promise the H.G...A new innerman...Thats y Isaiah is saying a lil Child is gonna lead them which is the H.G.

...But this is here on the earth as Rev 11 : 15...the Kingdoms of this world have become the Kingdoms of our lord and his Christ and he shall reign for ever and ever right here on this beautiful planet...As David saw the whole world at rest and full of his GLORY...In that he is gonna rule ALL nations implies all the world...The Kingdom of HEAVEN is gonna be within us...As the mystery of the Kingdom of heaven is Christ in you...The Child of Promise is the H.G...Emanuel

....This Father and son relationship between David and Solomon is just prophetic of a Father and Son relations between Jesus and the H.G...As its Jesus who sows that good seed in our hearts that initiates the Birth of the Child of Promise the H.G...Thats y he is saying that which is BORN of the Spirit is Spirit which is the H.G. that Child of Promise. ok gbu

Jesus loves y'all! THANK you for your commitment in sharing the Gospel! Acts 2:38

Amen Gigi, Well stated.

I hope everything is going well after the surgeries.

God bless.

While the hierarchy of the church watched Him drag His cross, could they have questioned themselves saying have "we have made a mistake"?

The Roman soldier, can you hear Him saying, I hope He is almost dead when he arrives on this Hill! His conscience burning within Him as the thought that He must drive the nails that will hold this Holy One from the Cross!

Can you see Christ dragging his own cross, exhausted, bleeding out, with the dust that would cauterize His wounds.

Oh the thoughts of those who were under the command, those who would play the part that would haunt them for generations! Can you hear the centurion, as He says truly this is the Son of God?

The nation even today, who wish to silence these words. The nation who wish to comfort their souls believing they have done Gods will. Repent and be Baptized

The disciples were flawed men that didn't have a Biblical clew until Christ died. Christ strengthened them, because they were weak as water, otherwise they would fail on their own faces. They had little understanding, and lack of faith in a man they never fully realized was God in flesh. Peter very easily matched Judas' trespass with his 3 denials of Christ. That is exactly how the real world operates, nothing has changed.

What I think, or what you think will not matter in the judgement but what sayeth the Lord. I would rather see anyone in church serving the Lord teaching others the truth (Jesus teachings) than denying him. The Lord can & will make a way if we are willing to do his will not ours.

Revelation 20:12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.

Thank you Lord Jesus You Who Are the Same today and tomorrow. With You, there is no changing shadow. Thanks for "Jayden" and all the friends here on the web, i thank for u all here in the name of Jesus, i really see the Spirit of the Lord. Let us also detach ourselves from earthly bonds, to long for existence with You Lord! My help comes from the Lord, the Creator of heaven and earth. Hallelujah, He will have power and glory forever and ever, Oh I will stand before Him who has made all things possible, in the purest clothes, and only be close to the Lord. Amen.

Acts 4:13-31

Warm welcome "Christi", when we are here all the references are there for our help. For your sake, I hope you see them. Or you can search in.

Everything from KJV is in here, the oldest recorded scripture in the world, I love this bible so much. Saw it in 2002, it is many years ago and so easy to read.

Hope you enjoy the pages and you can download the whole Bible KJV for free from the site. It is the best gift :) Take care of yourself in this world. Jesus loves you.

Acts 4:13-31

John the Baptist came in the power and Spirit of Elijah, but he was not Elijah.

The assembly of the firstborn is the Church which is composed of born-again believers.

The "perfect" are those whose sins have been washed away by the blood of the Lamb.

Only God can deliver us from besetting sins. We must learn how to enter into His presence through prayer and continue in constant prayer for deliverance from our besetting sins. Deliverance may not come immediately but that is the path we must follow for God to do for us what we cannot do for ourselves.

Mark 14:38

Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. The spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is weak.

Satan has deluded hundreds of millions of people into thinking God approves of murder by abortion, but that is a heinous lie.

Dear all friends in Jesus. Why do we then use references to a book that is not mentioned in KJV, i wondered but thought it was a typo. So wrong of me! .D

God bless us in due time for His revelations. Acts 4:13-31
