There is nothing in the Bible to indicate that God will judge animals for their sins. There are indications in the Bible that God has declared some animals unclean for specific reasons, but none of that seems to indicate a future continuation of their spirits after death.

I don't think animals sin and I don't think animals can be cleansed by the blood of Jesus and made clean. Nothing unclean will enter into God's presence, but God can come to earth and mingle with animals on earth.

I believe several books have been written that Christian scribes rejected over the years as not being worthy of inclusion in the word of God. I believe God has used men to transcribe, copy, and translate the word of God over the years and that we can find a certain body of manuscripts all along the way that has been generally accepted by true believers as the inspired word of God.

The book of Eccleasticus is not one of those books that Bible scholars have enthusiastically recognized down through history as part of the inspired word of God.

Heavenly Father , be with GiGi son to have safe travel . watch over him and his wife , keep them safe and allow them both to return , watch over this young couple and bless them and hedge them in your love and protection , be with GiGi help her with the recovery of her medical issues , Lord we know there is nothing you cant do no matter how big or small we thank you for your Love all things we ask in Jesus name amen

The book of Ecclesiates and the book of Ecclesiaticus are 2 different books

I've heard Christians say things like "I can not understand why God would love someone like me." I think that statement is rooted in too high an opinion of self, sort of like Peter's statement to Jesus, "Though all men forsake you I will never forsake you." Peter saw himself as at least as good as or better than the other disciples, which was a misunderstanding of himself and God's word.

The reason I believe saying "I can not understand why God would love a sinner like me" is wrong is because it must either assume I am worse than other sinners, or I cannot understand why God would love any sinners. Either way, that is simply reflecting a lack of understanding that Christians should grow out of.

You are a sinner, true, but so is every other Christian and no Christian is more special or loved than any other believer. There are Christians who walk in disobedience which displeases God but those Christians are still loved by God. I have 8 living children. Some may have more problems than others but I love them all equally as much.

God loves the Christians who walk close to Him as much as He loves the prodigal in the pig pen, but the prodigal in the pig pen is not pleasing God as much as the Christian walking close by His side.

remember Kristie and myself in your prayers , remember our families . pray for my lost coworkers , remember and pray for all the lost of the world

The most questioned subject is probably on the (Rapture) " Caught Up", and the Tribulation; book of Revelation.

What day of the week is Sabbath observed.

You can poll subjects by reading, bottom of the comment pages; the Past History pages from the comment rooms.

I very much like a series on YouTube of Oral Roberts teaching the Book of Revelation. He reads along, makes comment and it flows.

I lived in Tulsa and heard the vicious gossip. He had a vision to build a college where students were always exposed to the Word of God.

The unbelieving community was without excuse. Not only is Tulsa full of Christians, but many witch covens are there too. They're still spinning their venom online and radio.

If we don't listen to what Oral taught, we have no point of reference from which to judge a brother.

I listen to it when I'm in the kitchen cooking a feast for a couple of hours. IF it was gobellygook I wouldn't listen.

Alex,

What you said reminds me of Slow Train Comin' by Bob Dylan The Slow Train is Jesus.

Sometimes I feel so low-down and disgusted

Can't help but wonder what's happenin' to my companions

Are they lost or are they found?

Have they counted the cost it'll take to bring down

All their earthly principles they're gonna have to abandon?

There's a slow, slow train comin' up around the bend...

Luke 1:39-45

Elizabeth is Mary's cousin. She is now elderly and she and her husband, Zechariah, have never been able to have children. Now Elizabeth is pregnant as God has worked a miracle so they can conceive. Their child will grow up to be John the Baptist , the person whose role in life is to prepare people for Jesus.

Jeremiah 49:11

Leave thy fatherless children, I will preserve them alive; and let thy widows trust in me.

Lamentations 5:3

We are orphans and fatherless, our mothers are as widows.

Mark Chapter 12

41 And Jesus sat over against the treasury, and beheld how the people cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much.

42 And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing.

43 And he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury:

44 For all they did cast in of their ABUNDANCE, but she of her WANT did cast in all that she had, even all her living.

Comment: Jesus sees what we put in the offering, and what's in our hearts.

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.

Ecclesiastes 3:18-21

I said in my heart with regard to the children of man that God is testing them that they may see that they themselves are but beasts. For what happens to the children of man and what happens to the beasts is the same; as one dies, so dies the other. They all have the same breath, and man has no advantage over the beasts, for all is vanity. All go to one place. All are from the dust, and to dust all return. Who knows whether the spirit of man goes upward and the spirit of the beast goes down into the earth?

Job 35:11 Who teaches us more than the beasts of the earth and makes us wiser than the birds of the heavens?

Job 12:7-10 But ask the beasts, and they will teach you; the birds of the heavens, and they will tell you; or the bushes of the earth, and they will teach you; and the fish of the sea will declare to you. Who among all these does not know that the hand of the Lord has done this? In his hand is the life of every living thing and the breath of all mankind.

** Ecclesiastes 12:7

And the dust returns to the earth as it was, and THE SPIRIT returns to God who gave it.

comment: Everything returns to dust upon death. The spirits return to God. [ there will be animals and birds in heaven]

I was just pointing out what it actually says in the Bible . If you read the verses I quoted , Vashti broke the law and was not forgiven and banished from her husband's presence , Esther broke the law , was forgiven and saved her people , sounds familiar ?

Marke,

The secret to knowing who the saints are is as easy as identifying who the two olive trees, and the two lampstands are. The two prophets/witnesses are described as "the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks that stand before the God of the earth". Olive trees and candlesticks have always been used to describe the house of Israel and the house of Judah. These are the 144,000 from the house of Israel, and the house of Judah, sealed from death for 42 months, at the 6th trumpet. Together, they are the whole house of Israel, witnesses to antichrists' exploits between the 6th & 7th trumpets.



Zechariah 4:14

Jeremiah 11:16

Psalm 52:8

Dear "Opal Ashlin", Is this what you're thinking? Matthew 5:37 But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.

Be blessed in the name of Jesus, love you in Christ. John chapter 6 and 7

Hi dear Gigi, what are you saying here?

Godhead is self-existent having Life within Itself. They never acquired life, rather the God head is Life Itself.

Jesus certainly came in flesh and blood. Please explain correctly so no one thinks wrong in this!

1 John 4:1-3 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:

3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

John 6 and 7 chapter Stay blessed in His Holy Name Jesus, love u all in Christ.

This is what I was taught:

1 Corinthians 6:12

All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.

1 Corinthians 10:23

All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not. [you could die from disease]

The Greek word translated "expedient" (sumphero) means literally, "to bear or bring together"; with a personal reference, "to be well or profitable." In the New Testament it never means "profitable" or "convenient" as opposed to what is strictly right. It is translated "expedient" ( John 11:50, "it is expedient for us," the Revised Version (British and American) "for you".

Spencer,

Thanks for the notes, and I appreciate your passion for the Lord. I'm not going to worry about you creating a lot of sin in your local community.

Here is my interpretation of verses, and the rational I assign to them:

Revelation 20:10 After the 1,000 years, the devil is put in the lake of fire where the beast and false prophet are.

Revelation 20:15 *Here is the beauty; everybody that ever lived was written in the book of life. God does this wonderful thing, that through Christ's blood, may we all have life.

The OT saints are already in heaven, under the alter. They were given white robes at the fifth seal, and told to wait till the 144,000 are killed at the seventh trumpet, for judgment of those on EARTH, Revelation 6:9-11.

Your heart is attached to Salvation, mine to the prophets. If you have any questions, or other topics, a second opinion, let me know.

The entire book about the Preacher is for guidance. I would absolutely say that it is inspired by the Most High God. See Ecclesiastes 10:14

God bless us all with His Wisdom in His time for all of us. Jesus loves us and i in you through Christ. John chapter 6 and 7

John 7:17

Gigi, Thank you so much for your comment. I hear this voice: My People are destroyed for lack of knowledge. It's true.

I've looked at TIK TOK a few times, and it makes me so sad the things people think are funny. The irreverence and twisting of values. It gives new insight to the story of Lot's wife. Don't look at destruction with humor and curiosity. Keep our eyes forward on Jesus. We will be with Him for eternity.

I have a lost baby in heaven. He has a name, David. I will see him some future day :)

It takes a lot of unselfish love to carry a baby to term and let them bless a childless couple. I do things for an orphanage here, and it grieves me that I'm too old to adopt a child. But I can raise money for their futures and present, but the best would be to give them a family. These are little Baptist kids, raised with Christian values. Thank God they'll meet their Father in heaven soon.

Hello @KJV,

Why do bad things sometimes happen to good people?

Hello,

Blessings, For god so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life. John: 3.16.. Psalms 139 :18-19, How precious also are thy thoughts unto me,O God! how great is the sum of them! If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake ,I am still with thee.The Love of God overtakes all unworthiness, in Jesus Christ ,to you and all the Lord will remember by you in him by Jesus Christ the way given to mankind to the loving heart of God

Dear, i have to get involved :) even if you have received good answers here. We must not forget that we have received grace. The grace ikke live in has mirrored my wisdom and gives me the power of God to testify, pray for people, be salty, be a fellow human being, it is never in compulsion, but the Lord we test our strength. See where you want to go?

Grace dear "Ms. Jackson" is what we should lean on in difficult situations. And we must never forget and do to others as we want others to treat us. This is so that we will walk wisely without bad thinking. I can see your darkness because I've been there myself. That said, the Lord will help greatly. But if there are unforgivable things, you can only help yourself. Such is the rule. We must forgive ourselves first, to clear and forgive others what injustice they have done to us. Get light now!

And never go back to that dark place! We must capture every thought. In order not to let in evil spirits that distort reality and we are bound in chains of sin and misery that only grow. For example, when we see disease in our ranks, there is a possibility that they have not thrown away evil thoughts. But allowed for example doubt, greed, forgiveness, unloving, even further in their lives. That is why we must read the scriptures every day, For encouragement, for peace of mind, not to allow evil thoughts. But openly to the work of God.

In scripture we learn about Jesus' state of mind the same we should have in all purity! Jesus love you i in Christ. John 7:17

May God bless us abundantly with wisdom and the spirit of revelation so that we all will be able to resist the evil day, as you describe. Start your service in this moment, do not wait, you are valuable and do not forget where you were before.

Hi Mary,

How did your visit go today?

Thank you David.

Thank you E. I am praying for your requests, tonight. I just can't type as much with my hand bandaged

Thanks, Sam.

Thank you, E.

Consider this scripture. If God forgives u when we confess our sins-ought we not to do the same?

One of Satan's names is ACCUSER. He accuses us and then we accuse ourselves .

When we confess our sins and ask for forgiveness; what does God do with those sins we confessed?

Psalms Chapter 103

10 He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.

11 For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is HIS MERCY toward them that fear him.

12 AS FAR AS the east is from the west, so far has HE removed our transgressions from us.

13 Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that fear him.

note: that is a straight line which is INFINITY. God doesn't keep records of sins we confess and repent of.

Mishael, I have appreciated what you have shared about child sacrifice.

In present day, the altar of sacrifice is sexual sin and people thinking that God should not have the right to create a life from

sexual encounters. Our society's regard for protecting human life has so deteriorated since Roe vs. Wade. We see it in the

senseless killings in gang shootouts and child abuse, abortion being the ultimate child abuse, in my opinion.

ACLJ is a good legal organization that goes to bat for so many causes to right injustice. They are doing the Lord's work in so

many ways. America has had the stain of slavery, which was rightly abandoned. Now we have the stain of abortion, which needs

to be abandoned as well. We are not alone in these matters, as it is a worldwide evil.

I pray that God will lead more pregnant women to give birth to their babies, forgoing abortion in favor of life. I also pray that

many of these women will choose to put their child up for adoption. The rate of infertility in childbearing women increases with

every decade which means there are more and more couples who wish to adopt children. May God lead thee babies to loving

homes and adoptive parents.

Kay, I was raised in a smoking home. Hated it. I have always believed that our longs are for exchanging fresh air, not for handling the substances people inhale by smoking. If we use our bodies in the way God intended we will be more healthy, but more importantly, we honor God with our bodies.

I know that smoking is hard to quit and remain "the quitter". It just reminds me that we all have ways/habits we could ask God to change and release us from.

Create in me a clean heart, O God.
