Dear Jim, I will pray for you and your marriage today.

This chapter; as many others in scripture-demonstrate the level of depravity one may reach.

There are two possible outcomes here; that of Manasseh who indeed humbled himself after suffering greatly and knowing that God was indeed Lord (v. 13). The resulting behaviors listed up to verse 20 show that there was a genuine conversion and that must characterize anyone who claims to have faith today. His son; Amon only had 2 years to serve and was killed by his own servants at the age of 24. (v. 24).

Testimonies are always effective; as say someone like Niki Cruz who was profoundly affected by David Wilkerson who himself put his own life in jeopardy to witness the gospel. It is only through unconditional "agape" love that we can truly "love our enemies; and do good to those who despitefully use us." ( Luke 6:27-28). It is; of course no benefit to manifesting sins so that we can later have a more dramatic testimony. God does; of course come to us "while we are yet sinners" ( Romans 5:8). We also need to be reminded of the exhortation in Ezekiel; even one sin disqualifies a rightous man ( Ezekiel 33:13). Note the man in that verse is TRUSTING in his own righteousness! These passages help to demonstrate the unity of scripture and that the God of the O.T. is the same today. There is no room for boasting; except in Christ ( Jeremiah 9:24; 1 Cor. 1:31). These passages also are stark warnings for those who have Godly examples; we are held more accountable and perhaps judged sooner than the world itself. We see this in the case of Nebuchadnezzar's progeny at the time of the writing on the wall; for example. In short; there are those who learn from chastisement who are His chosen; and others who only harden their hearts further; such as Pharaoh.

Dear Mary, I will pray for you.

Dear Heavenly Father, we lay Mary upon Your mercy for her health. Please heal the bump on her tongue and have it be something simple that will resolve quickly. We ask that you remove all cancer from her body and keep it from coming back in any form. Thank You for the healing You have given her so far. We entrust her to Your loving care. We ask these things in the name of Your Son, Jesus. Amen.

May God grant you a speedy recovery and may we hear from you again soon . Much love in Christ .

Please pray for me this week as I have two surgeries scheduled. Tomorrow, carpal tunnel surgery on my left wrist. Friday, surgery on my big and little toes to remove bunions. I appreciate your prayers.

Good day to all here. I would like to ask for prayer for me this week. I have two surgeries scheduled. Tomorrow I will be having carpal tunnel surgery on my left hand. Friday I will have foot surgery to remove bunions on the outside of my big toe and also on the outside of my little toe. I appreciate that people will pray for these surgeries and for my swift recovery with a favorable outcome.

I may not be posting much as my hand recovers. I don't know how much one handed typing I will actually be able to do. But i will be reading and praying for others as I recover. Thanks all.

Hello Edward,

Chris has given a good explanation of the doctrine of the Godhead (Trinity). I wish to add the following:

The Trinitarian nature of God is shown at Jesus' baptism very clearly. the Father spoke in an audible voice heard by others, not just Jesus, The Holy Spirit descended upon Jesus like a dove and rested upon Jesus, the Father claimed that Jesus is His beloved Son.

John chapter 1 speaks of the Word being with God and being God (Speaking of Jesus as the eternal Word) through whom all things were created.

There are many other Scripture references.

The Trinitarian teaching says that there is only one God, who, in his essential nature exists in three distinct Persons, but all share the one essential divine nature.

Some people adhere to a "Oneness" error that states that God is one and He reveals Himself in different modalities to mankind: sometimes as the Father, sometimes as Jesus, and sometimes as the Holy Spirit; but these are not three distinct persons. This historically has been known as Modalism and has been considered heresy across the centuries. If this doctrine was true, then all of God died on the cross. But Jesus cried out to His Father on the cross and God can never cease to exist.

Jesus, as fully God (the Son, the Word) and fully human. He, through his death, was reconciling us to God (the Father).

On the cross the wrath of God (the Father) was poured out on Jesus (God the Son and Son of Man). Jesus did not pour the wrath of God upon Himself, but His Father did.

Even though the word "Trinity" is not in the Bible, the word "Godhead" appears in Romans 1:20 and Colossians 2:9.

At the Last Supper, Jesus prayed to the Father and told the disciples that He would ask the Father to send the Holy Spirit. speaking of these as separate Persons distinct from Himself.

I understand that people have differing ideas about this topic. However, I also know that all doctrines about God being a Trinity or not are not all correct, only one is.

The LOVE of money is the root of all evil. ( 1 Tim. 6:10). Paul himself; in fact was a tentmaker; who encouraged others to make things with their hands ( Acts 18:3). He also apparently paid for food during his travels ( 2 Thess. 3:8). Those who used to steal were given similar admonitions to work and be productive. ( Eph. 4:28).

There is; of course nothing wrong for those actively pursuing work in the ministry to be supported and fed ( Luke 10:7). We should be discerning as to the financial accountability of those we support; however and aware of those attracted to "filthy lucre" ( Titus 1:11). Such behavior obviously is characteristic of those "prosperity preachers" whose mouth betrays their true intentions (out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh-( Luke 6:45). Such resources as "Charity Navigator" are helpful to demonstrate what percentages of funds are used directly for ministry purposes. The church itself; as a Body should be supporting one another as the early church; at least in some ways meeting each others needs; as well as contributing financially or using their talents for proclaiming the Good News and fulfilling the Great Commission.

We shouldn't neglect verses for laypeople to "work heartily unto the Lord."( Colossians 3:23-24). We are representing our King; much as Daniel served the king of Babylon daily during the exile ( Daniel 1:5). This was much the same pattern as with Joseph in Egypt. We are even to be faithful with "unrighteous mammon" ( Luke 16:10-11). If we can't be trusted with earthly things; how can we be trusted with heavenly treasure? There are plenty of warnings to avoid amassing large amounts of gold and silver ( Deut 17:17) which God instructed Solomon (along with many wives). Money itself; therefore is an inanimate object; but as they say if "money talks" or gets a life of it's own in our lives then it is clear that it has become an idol. Matthew 6:3 is a good read on the subject..

Rick, the Old testament is A SHADOW of the TRUE.

God told Mosses to make all things after the HEAVENLY PATTERN.

Man is that HEAVENLY PATTERN.

In the Old God lived in the Holy of Hollies inside the tent in the wilderness.

Then after Solomon built a temple of stone, God lived there in the Holy of Hollies.

At Christ resurrection, a new TEMPLE was built, but not by man's hands, man himself became the TEMPLE OF GOD.

The ark of the covenant was also a shadow of the HEAVENLY PATTERN.

The Old ark disappeared, but the New ark exist IN MAN, the law written in stone was contained in the Old, the law written in the heart is contained in the New.

Aaron's rod that budded, showing he was chosen to be the high priest, was contained in the Old, Christ's rod that budded, showing he was chosen to be the high priest, is contained in the New (Christ in YOU).

The jar of manna, the children's food from heaven, was contained in the Old, the word's of God, the food from heaven, are contained in the New.

The Old ark had six rings, three on each side, with a stave past through them and man was to bear the ark, in the New man still bears the ark.

In the Old the mercy seat was above the ark and the two cherubs, the glory of God above, in the New the mercy seat is above man along with the Glory of God.

Revelation 21:1 And I saw a NEW HEAVEN (man) for the first heaven had passed away ....

This is a great website we need way more than just this one

If you stride for the Love of Jesus the love that he wants you to have his love how do you deal with that you do not like suffering in this world I know that it's done for a reason I just don't like people suffering if I'm doing this incorrect I apologize thank you

The sacrifice we must come to understand is found in the faith Abraham has for God , through His son Isaac.

Hard too imagine the depth of love He has for God, as Abraham suffers the 3 days of travel to Moriah, where He will sacrifice His son!

The constant questioning , the act to do such a thing, and the conversations between Him and God!

Can you see Him on His knees as He prays asking over and over how these things can be! While Isaac watches His Father, never questioning Him.

This the time, that God the Father suffered for His son as Jesus His only begotten Son goes on too conquered sin and death.

How He must have grieved while His Son for 3 days and nights went forward for this , the same love for His Father ,the same love He has for mankind, never questioning.

No greater Love!

This is the love found in the Devine. The love that conquers all things!

This is ultimate Love found in the Father, and the Son!

How is it we do not understand such love in faith ?

I do not see scripture that states the physical Ark of the Covenant has been transported to heaven. When making a statement that the physical Ark is in heaven, please list book, chapter, and verse. I also encourage all to look up "Ron Wyatt", and his archeological findings. He claims to have found the Ark in a cave below where our Jesus was crucified. From scripture there was an "earthquake", and Jesus said "it is finished". When the earth opened up under Christ's cross, His blood dripped through the earth and landed on the mercy seat. Thus, "it is finished". The Ark being in Ethiopia at St. Mary's cathedral sounds more like a Catholic tale, rather than reality, while Ron Wyatt's finding appears to make perfect sense. With that said, I'm looking forward to more discussion.

Lemme say a few words about the Rapture..1st thing God is Spirit thus any kind of a Rapture wd have to be in the Spirit...On the day of Pentecost many heard his voice resulting the gift if the H.G....As the H.G. fell on them that heard his word...That good seed that initiates a heavenly Birth...But their bodies went no where only their spirits were caught up to God and to his throne...The Kingdom came to them as Jesus said thy Kingdom come thy will be done on earth as in heaven...Remember Jesus said unless you receive the Kingdom of God as a lil Child...That Woman in Rev 12 : 5 was caught up to God and to his throne but her body went no where it was in the SPIRIT

...This is what i believe the real new birth is when we are bornagain in the spriitual realm we birth a new innerman which is the H.G. that Child of Promise which is Spirit...our new heart and new spirit a living being born in us and thats the Rapture...Jesus plainly tells us unless you receive the Kingdom of God as a lil Child ( the H.G. ) you will in no wise enter there in...Thats when we are caught away in the spirit...Thats the Rapture into the kingdom when we are really bornagain in the spirit we are gonna birth as lil Child which is the H.G. THE kingdom....Unless you receive the Kingdom as a lil Child is the Rapture...simply b/c the Child is the H.G. which is the kINGDOM.

...Paul tells some that they were come unto mount Zion the city of the living God. Hebrews 12 : 22 ..That heavenly Jerusalem, But it was only their spirits that was caught up to God and to his throne....It was only their spirits that was raptured not their fleshly bodies...Jesus plainly tells us the KINGDOM OF GOD is gonna be in with you...We don't need to go any where..Thy Kingdom come we are only Raptured in the Spirit here on this earth.

...Remember God told Moses that they cd not build an altar with steps so that their nakedness cd not be seen...If the Rapture was physical folks cd see womans nakedness...Thats y its spritual

Is there anywhere in the Bible that gives the RULES OF PROPHECY ?

For example a day is a year unless it says a day and night.

The Lord God shall reign forevermore!

My dear brother it doesn't really matter whether we see it as a sacrifice or just a killing. Always have in mind that almost everyrhing modern people do is due to the influence of Sin. The king of this world is not God but our enemy ( 2 Corinthians 4:4). God s only king in His children. And the Spirit of God warned us that people of the final days will be the worst of all. ( 2 Timothy 3:1-5). So don't get so much surprised by what you see and hear. World has changed a lot during the last 20 years and we will yet be surprised by the changes we see from now on. I don't think we can do much to change people by our own, yes we can protest and all those things but probably the only efficient thing we can actually do is to talk to people about Jesus Christ and pray they follow Him. World is never going to change for better. After the church goes to Heaven their king will make his appearance and rule them. What people choose, that will get. If they choose Jesus in this life their choice will follow them in the other life , if not...

Its time we children of God make our voice loud, and whoever listens.

My niece is on life support due to Covid pneumonia. She is 48 years of age and she has a 13-year old son waiting for her. She is on a ventilator and they want to perform a tracheotomy. She had a cardiac arrest. This tracheotomy is another procedure which does not have any guarantees. She could easily with this procedure have another cardiac arrest. She has been in the hospital for 4 months now. She has underlying disease which caused her to be in the state she is in. WE NEED A MIRACLE THAT GOD WILL SPARE HER LIFE. She recently gave her heart to the Lord.

Verse 1 is most interesting. Note the name "Lord" is twice used. This identifies The Son as working in concert with the Father.

I sincerely hope so Bernie !

Rapture commentary. This subject; along with many others can be either over or under emphasized in our meditation; study and application. We are to "encourage one another" with the words relating to the coming of the Lord ( Romans 14:19). To escape wrath for those that make the Rapture has to mean even; and especially the first seal for several reasons. First of all; Christ personally is the only one who is able to open the seals ( Rev. 5:1-7). Second; a STRONG Delusion is going to come for those who do not LOVE the truth so that they will believe the LIE ( 2 Thess. 2:11). The covenant with Death and Hell ( Dan. 9:27; Isaiah 28:18) will commence. The restrainer will be removed ( 2 Thess. 2:6) that indicates the Spirit working as He does now in the church age.

Judgment begins at the house of God ( 1 Peter 4:17). There are some; who are living rebellious lives now and whose hearts are far from Him who may identify as "Christian"; others never have identified as believers. Whether any truly Born Again individuals are "left behind" or not; it is healthy to read all scriptures. Surely not everyone who professes Christ is "praying always to be worthy to escape ALL that is to come; and to stand before the Son of Man ( Luke 21:36); nor are they like the Philadelphia church to be "kept from the hour of trial" to encompass all the world ( Rev. 3:10). The "fire" of testing our works at the Bema Seat for those who have much wood and stubble will result in them being saved but suffering loss ( 1 Cor. 3:10-11). Many clearly are asleep at this hour; but in any event those who are His will hear His voice ( John 10:27).

The focus of the Rapture tends to be skewed on individual experiences related to visions or dreams on the subject. The Body of Christ is involved in actively being present during His judgments on the earth. Psalm 91:8 shows how we shall only see the judgment of the wicked from afar. We shall rule and reign with Him after He returns ( Dan. 7:27).
