I'm not replying to this comment but to a different one where I was having a hard day and week and I got offended at something you said. Love covers things and I did not cover anything I overreacted. I'm sorry. Can you please forgive me? I made a huge deal out of a very small thing.

Hello Donald.

As Rev 4:10-11 states, God created all thins for His pleasure. Elsewhere in Scripture it says that God created everything for His Glory (can't find the verse right now). In another place it says that God created the earth to be inhabited.

So here we have in Scripture these purpose for creation. He did not need to create because He is complete withing Himself in need of nothing outside of Himself. But He did choose to create everything other than Himself because it pleases Him to see His glory displayed in all of creation and in His plan for the beings He created. God was benevolent in creating the universe and all living things, not out of pride or conceit. He desired to share Himself with beings He created, not because He needed these relationships, but because He wanted to have others outside of the Godhead benefit from His love and goodness. And in doing so, He glorifies Himself in creation as He exercises His attributes to their fullest.

I often think about what it means that He created for His glory. This is not well-defined in Scripture. I guess if He wanted us to know in full His reason for creating all things, He would have elaborated more in Scripture. Maybe we will understand this more in eternity. We are limited creatures. He is infinite Creator. So we cannot expect to comprehend all of Who He is and His purposes. But knowing that He and His purposes are absolutely good helps us to trust His actions.

Hope this helps.

Amen.:-).

S Spencer,

Here's the catch:

Revelation 9:16 describes the beast army that's going to defeat Babylon, when the 6th trumpet army attacks the 5th trumpet army. Their army, the horseman described are munitions used in the end-time battles.

John heard the number at 200,000,000; Russia's "Poseidon" is 200 mega tons or 200,000,000 TNT.

Coincidence or match?

always know that God is with He will not leave nor forsake you

Dear SolaScrip,

Amen. I can see you are well versed in God's scripture, and the great power of His Holy Spirit. Thanks for the encouragement and sharing of scripture here!

Hope you can stay around, many people read these postings, and can surely profit from the way you shine a powerful and bright truthful light on the scripture.

God Bless.

This Forum is a bit confusing at times.

Who, or what post, are you replying to?

The only thing I can think you may be talking about is Isaiah 13:9

This passage, from verse 9-11 - Isaiah 13:9-11 - matches up perfectly with the Matt. 24:29-31 passage where Jesus returns immediately after the Tribulation and lays the earth desolate while destroying the sinners thereof out of it. It is one of at least a handful of texts, 'outside' of Rev. 20:1-7, that proves the Millennium doctrine of 'time after Christ's return' to be completely unbiblical.

Grae, your doctrine is very corrupted with modern church lies. Jesus never ONCE broke the law or that would mean He had sinned. If He had sinned, He wouldn't have been perfectly SIN-LESS on the Cross and His sacrifice/Crucifixion would have had no effect. He obeyed every single one of His Father's 10 Commandments His ENTIRE Life. And He absolutely 100% expects those who love Him to do the same.

John 14:15

John 15:10

1 John 2:6

I am sorry for all who have been brainwashed by modern preachers and teachers of every modern church, as well as big-name pastors on TV and those on Christian Radio. Almost every single one of them preach nothing but unscriptural LIES.

Jesus did not allow, nor encourage, ANYBODY to break the Laws of God. That is plain silly. Jesus IS God. John 1:1, John 1:14 Nothing that was ever created, was not created by Jesus Christ John 1:3 Therefore, the 10 Commandments written IN STONE as a symbol of their FOREVER standing, were written by Christ and they are HIS Commandments. He lived as an example to all those who would follow His Ways (Christians) and He obeyed ALL those Commandments.

Post some scripture to support your claims that Jesus did these things, please.

God bless.

When you die does your soul go to heaven or hell then?

Dear Apostolic Evangelist,

Thank you for your response and input.

You stated: "When the Sabbath Ends that is why we go to Church on Sunday."

Jesus regularly went to teach, fellowship, and heal in the synagogue/church on Saturday - the Sabbath Day.

Luke 4:16

"And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read."

Jesus set examples like the above, for us to follow. Why would we not follow Jesus lead on this, and worship and help others on Saturday/Sabbath Day as He did?

Also, I said, and I do believe that I am correct; that we can go to church at anytime, on any day. But, if you believe I am in error, on any of the above, please provide me with scripture to the contrary, and I will review, and change if I am wrong.

God Bless

Sis, then pray we shall and we won't give up! We love the Lord and we're trusting Him for this miracle.

Just try remember how Abraham must've felt as he laid Isaac down. Rest in the Lord today. Thank Him and praise Him for everything. And do not listen to the enemy who will no doubt speak doubt in your ear. Tell him NO you don't want to hear it! You trust the Father. This is your Isaac sister LaTonya! If you want to receive healing for your existing heart I will trust and believe with you. I believe God is able. I'm not going to limit Him with my unbelief. If it's His will for you to have a transplant then we'll pray for a healthy heart transplant.

Let's take it before the Lord again. Heavenly Father, we come before You with thanksgiving. Just as Abraham did when he laid Isaac down as the offering you commanded. Lord we praise You and we want to trust You for this miracle. WE KNOW You are able! There's NO doubt. We ask You to heal Sister LaTonyas heart. The one You fashioned for her in her mothers womb. Just as Abraham trusted You, just as Moses trusted You at the the Red Sea crossing, help us to fully trust You for this healing.

Precious Heavenly Father strengthen our faith and help us NOT to look at the circumstances. Please do this thing. Because You love her. And You can. Please make her a testimony of Your healing power! We earnestly pray this in the mighty name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen.

I'm with you whatever you decide. I know that you specifically desire God to heal your existing heart. He loves you. You are His child. (When you feel sad just thank Him and praise Him. And when I'm going through it and I need to hear these words, please, lift my arms up so I can continue to praise Him in no matter what , because He IS worthy) :-).

Gal. 5 : 4 ...Whosoever you are that are Justifed by the LAW YOU are fallen from grace...Christ is become as none effect unto you....It simply means we are redemned by the BLOOD OF THE LAMB...Not circumsicion nor uncircumcision....Only that new creature which is the H.G. That Child of Promise ...A baby Christ that results from the heavenly birth....After that woman gave birth to the Child which is a baby Christ the H.G. .... Rev 12.. She keeps the commandments....Simply b/c her Child is the testimony of Jesus...That Child of Promise...The multiplication of Christ in us via his seed the words of the book...that new Covenant.

.....But all this just establishes the law....Simply b/c we are gonna birth a Baby Christ

That is gonna result in a marriage...Unless you receive the Kingdom of God as a lil Child

you will in no wise enter there in....The Child is the Kingdom...After the woman births the

Child verse 10... Rev 12 : 10 ..It says now is come salvation and the kingdom of our God and the power of his Christ....( THE CHILD )...Thats y he is saying unless you receive the kingdom of God as a lil Child etc.

Thank you, I have used this Bible app for a while and it has been a blessing God bless you

So u keep all the laws of Moses ? U sacrifice a lamb every morning and every evening ?

Deborah i don't know if this IS what you are looking for....But Rev . 4 : 5 Says the 7 lamps of fire burning before the throne are

the 7 Spirits of God.

Oh yes please Earl ! You are sorely missed , hope you are ok .

Rev 4:10-11 states:

10The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying, 11Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.

This is confirmed by God saying at the end of the first 5 days that God saw that it was good. At the end of the 6th day when He created the beasts and especially man in His likeness He said it was very good. The 7th day He rested from all that He created and blessed it. He was satisfied and pleased with creation and put his blessing over all of it.

The fall has brought the curse and dissatisfaction and wrath as the serpent intended, not God. If Satan can no longer have the pleasure of God and the blessings God spoke over His creation, he has made it his sole purpose with everything in his power to make sure no one else can have it.

God put enmity between two seeds in the curse of the serpent, the seed of the woman and the seed of the serpent. This was prophetically spoken to make a separation between them in God's new creation, like when he spoke light into existence and separated light and darkness on the first day of the old creation. Cain couldn't stand Able being blessed for offering a blood sacrifice when he wasn't for his earthly offerings. Cain killed Able, which demonstrated Cain was born of the seed of the serpent with his focus on earthly things and hatred of anyone being blessed when he wasn't. Able was of the seed of the woman by faith offerng a sacrifice in the likeness of the one who's resurrection is the beginning of the new creation, Jesus Christ.

We can overcome the fall, curse, dissatisfaction and wrath God intends for the devil and return to the rest where God is satisfied and pleased with us. But the only way to do that now is to become His new creations in Christ and let the old creation pass away

Hiya Bro. Earl Bowman.....We all miss you...Wish ya would come back...We may not agree on every lil thing but i still love ya.

Time to come back Earl and share that spritual mind of yours.....Bro. Alex N

Hey Stephen,

This is not biblical it comes from the Roman Catholic Church; This is called the Assumption of Mary; she was crowned as the Queen of heaven. The Papacy has declared Mary immaculate (sinless). The Catholic Church has elevated Mary to the level of a mediator, Mother of God, advocate, and co-redeemer of humanity, and more that is not in the scriptures.

If we look back, we see another who had these titles, Semiramis the wife of Nimrod, whose name has changed, who started in Babel/Babylon, with her son Tammuz, after Nimrod's death, the start of Pagan idol worship that included consecrated prostitution. God delt with Israel about this, Ezekiel 8:14 Jeremiah 7:18 you can see more in Jeremiah 44. There is more we can see from the past, in the Old Testament, things that we should be aware of.

There is much more but may this answer your question.

God bless,

RLW

MAPS would be helpful in the understanding of these chapters!

I'm not totally clear on this, but it sounds like some are making a case to disobey God, as if it's 'bad' to obey, because maybe some assume that 'works' are 'bad' therefore obeying God is bad and if you don't obey God then you're 'good'? Is this the argument some are making?

If so, it sounds like something satan would say, because he loves deceiving people with opposites and somehow is effective at convincing even Christians of it.

What the Bible actually says is that obeying is God is good. Disobeying is bad. There's a page of verses supporting that:

Link

Maybe the source of the misunderstanding lies in a belief like this:

If one desire to keep the law he can't just keep the 4th commandment, he must keep the whole law "perfectly" ALL HIS LIFE!

This comes from James 2.

What's interesting about this is some only focus on verse 10 to support their chosen narrative, but if someone reads the whole chapter they see only 4 verses later in James 2:14 it says:

"What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?"

So, only 4 verses later busts the narrative that someone is not supposed to do good, not supposed to obey, or even try. It in fact says the opposite.

Then in James 2:17-20 it says it again that faith without works is dead along with "I will shew thee my faith by my works."

Then in verse 24 it says it again, then in verse 26, it says it again. Over and over how important good works are to God. If it were not important it would say 'don't do good works', but it says to do good works.

Verse 10 isn't saying to disobey, but that we can't do it without Jesus! Remember the Pharisees?

"Keeping the law imperfectly is "still" a death sentence."

No, we're already doomed sinners without Jesus. We can't earn salvation as its a gift, but that doesn't mean disobey! We must follow Jesus for salvation which includes obedience! John 14:15

I know it to be unwise to use any version outside of King James 1611 authorized version. The NIV is so corrupt it's embarrassing. Please, stay with KJV.

I'm sorry, this is incorrect, Chris. Resting on God's Holy Day Isaiah 58:13, the only day God EVER blessed and made holy, IS the very worship you claim didn't happen for that day. Obeying God's Commandments IS worship of God and those who obey ARE worshiping God by that very act.

Sin is the breaking of the Commandments 1 John 3:4. So sin does still 100% exist and Christians are fully capable of sinning, saved or not. Therefore the 10 Commandments still 100% exist and are valid for Christians.

The Laws were clearly given in the OT to teach the Israelites how to be right with God after the Fall of this world in Eden. Under that system, they needed to do continuous sacrifices to cleanse them of sin. Jesus has become the unequaled, perfect sacrifice for all sin and abolished that system of sacrifice with His Crucifixion. All of the Mosaic CEREMONIAL Laws, that were made such a heavy burden by the Pharisees and Sadducees, have been abolished as well.

The 10 Commandments have absolutely NOT been abolished, and will never BE abolished. That is one of the biggest reasons Jesus did what He did with His life and sent us His Spirit afterward that had been trained up to obey ALL of the Commandments.

Jesus obeyed ALL the 10 and we are to live as He lived. John 15:10 1 John 2:6

Christian MEANS follower of Christ.

The 10 Commandments were the ONLY Commandments God spoke ALOUD to Israel. And they were the ONLY Commandments written IN STONE by the finger of GOD, twice.

God SPOKE this world into existence. God SPOKE the 10 Commandments into existence - NEVER to be altered or repealed.

Psalm 89:34

It is very WRONG to tell Christians that they will be put to death if they try to keep the Commandments and fail. Nowhere in scripture does it plainly state that. Many false preachers/teachers have spread that vicious LIE.

James 3:2 protects us from such an awful, and abominable, lie.

Scripture plainly teaches that Christians should obey ALL the 10 Commandments just exactly as Jesus Christ did.

John 15:10

1 John 2:6

What does 'Christian' mean? It means FOLLOWER of Jesus Christ and ALL His Ways. He is the Way and the Truth and the (eternal) Life IF we live as He lived and FOLLOW His Ways. All of His disciples kept all the 10 Commandments, as well as Paul and all later followers of Christ's Ways up to around 300 A.D. when many things were changed by the Emperor Constantine and the later Roman Catholic Church.

Shame on those preachers and teachers who tell new Christians that they will go to hell if they obey the Commandments of God Almighty. Nothing would make LESS sense than for those who love Jesus and strive to live righteously in a fallen, sinful world to be sent to hell by God.

Review the 10 Commandments carefully, and prayerfully, and think again if they are so impossible to keep. This is a lie from the pits of hell.

The Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ, who lived sinless His entire life, was primed during His lifetime to obey the Commandments. That Spirit is put into new, genuine, believers and ASSISTS in obeying the Commandments. Because it is Jesus' Spirit within us that makes this possible it is NOT works salvation. HIS Spirit is doing the WORK because we are not capable of our own power.

Hello.

Thank you in advance for your knowledge and assistance!

My question is what is the difference between The Holy Spirit and The Seven Spirits of God Almighty before His throne?

Yes, Bro Dan, and we are to live as Jesus lived. 1 John 2:6

Jesus kept ALL of the 10 Commandments. John 15:10

We are to strive to do the same. If we have the Holy Spirit, it is not a burden at all; as you said, and provided scripture, we do it because we love Jesus.

The 10 Commandments are not at all difficult to keep and James 3:2 has our back when we stumble.

Hello Grae.

I think that OSAS means "once saved always saved". or the teaching of eternal security.

In the King James version of it. Where does it say that the Vergin Mary ascended into Heaven alive?

From Pillows to Pillar

Jacob's reaction called for Action. First he took the stone used to prop himself up and then he made that stand for itself. Now he had understanding why he couldn't just have a soft pillow made of goose feathers or sheep's wool. Even his pillow had to become something. Then he Anointed the pillow with oil. As God promised that He would bring him to that place again, Jacob wanted to come back to a hallowed place. This pillow was now sacred. It was now declared Holy, (just as Moses' rod). This wasn't just a group of stones (v.11) any longer, but now a stone used to make a pillar. He dedicated that pillar to being the beginning of something for God. He even instituted tithe declaring the first 1/10 of his possessions is Holy unto The Lord.
