why did God create anything at all. especially humans

Dude if you don't think that Christ shed his blood on the croos you are lost and God lied, Everyone thinks they can interpreate Rvealations but miss the one most important part Rev1:3Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand. So what are we to keep? Do you know what I get out of revelations, I don't want to live through it and if Revelations doesn't make us fear God nothing can. The fear of the lord leads to salvation. Man's wisdom is foolishness to God. So much more to focus on to live godly in the Bible so you don't suffer God's wrath. Revelations is God's wrath

The Cambridge version, if you download the KJV off of this site the preface has the entire account from the transcribers to the readers and explains it all there. it's pretty Indepth and detailed I'm not sure if that version is in the Parallel view on this site or not. but honestly what does it matter really ours or our's when ours by itself means belonging to. But you'll find the answer there, it's 17 pages long

There shouldn't be just one day, we are commanded to be constant in prayer, but even more so we should fast and pray and righteousness is the key to prayer being heard. Read Isaiah 58 it tells you why God stopped hearing Israels' prayers and I'd say he isn't hearing ours because we are doing the same as Israel did. Isaiah58 also tells us how to correct our unrighteous ways and be heard of God. Jame5:16Confess 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.

Before the real Bible was changed, there was 777 Books of the Bible. Why is there now only 66 Books in the Bible? Is there 777 Books in the original Bible?

Well said.

In your understanding, based on scriptural references, who is the ruler of this world?

Humility being humble it sounds simple, but ego makes it hard, but honestly most do none anymore. The church has become worldly, and we tend to do as they do more then what God says.

Hi Suze

The Jews viewed everyone who was not a Jew as a Gentile, which is often interpreted to mean "common" or "unclean" and not fit to touch not interact with.

That is all I meant. When speaking of the difference between Jew and Gentile, I was referring to how a Gentile is viewed by Jews in ancient times.

The handwriting is on the wall, can't you see, repent and be ready, put on the whole armor of God and be ready brothers and sisters, remember He said I and My Father are one, you deny the Son, you also deny The Father

By not transgressing, he never broke the law, sinned, by obeying God, by being obedient even unto the death of the cross. It's just like fulfilling a contract, you do everything the contract says for you to do.

Where is it written that the day will come the you won't know one season from another only by the budding of the trees

David sinned. Why did his child have to die? the question asked because of Ezekiel 18.

No one was saved before Jesus, Paul Talks about the gentiles in Romans how they were not of the circumcision but do those things of it. Plus the Jews had no clue Jesus would die on the cross they thought Jesus would set up a world government that would defeat all other kingdoms. One thing, death on this side is not final the second death is, you can still be saved after you die but during the wrath of God that's its whole point and how every knee shall bow and every tongue will confess, we are saved from the wrath of God to be made to repent. You can believe and still not have eternal life. Matt&:21Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

22Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

23And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Hey Beth,

This day most Christians celebrate as Easter, resurrection day. This day, the first day after the Sabbath following Passover day was the Feast of Firstfruits, Leviticus 23:9-14. This feast is for the first harvest, the priest must wave the sheaf before the LORD, to be accepted before any of the first harvest could be eaten.

Mary came before sunrise and Jesus appeared to her first, she went to touch Him and He told her "Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father". Jesus is the Firstfruits of those who slept, and as the priest had to wave the sheaf over the alter before the LORD to be accepted, Jesus had to ascend to His Father to be accepted to fulfill the Feast of Firstfruits before He could be touched.

Just think, sunrise, on the morning of the Feast of First Fruits, the priest waving the sheaf of grain before the altar, and the other women arriving at the Lord's tomb, the same time Jesus ascended. The angel told the women to go tell the disciples to go to Galilee, and on their way, He returned and appeared to them, then they could touch Him, Matthew 28:5-10 but Mary could not because He had not yet ascended, same as the sheaf had to be waved before the LORD and accepted before they could eat of the first harvest.

From the beginning of Jesus time on earth the disciples thought He was going to set up the kingdom then, and just before He ascended, they asked Jesus if he at that time was going to set up the kingdom, Acts 1:6. My understanding of scripture after Jesus returned He was hear forty days teaching the apostles, Acts 1:1-5 before His ascension in Acts 1:9. He told them to stay in Jerusalem and wait for the promise of the baptizing of the Holy Ghost, this the second harvest (Pentecost).

He is now sitting at the right hand of the Father, the only mediator between us and God 1Timothy 2:5. He will be coming back as He left Matthew 24:30, to set up the kingdom on earth.

God bless,

God is so Good ! So Faithful & so True ! He inhabits the praises of his people. Thank God for His Mercies, inspite of me. Please pray that He will preserve our historic ranch, during a severe drought, lack of help.epidemics of grass hoppers & others,wolf problems,& preserve my strength, health,& soul, inspite of my strokes. Glory to His Name !

Romans 1:21Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

22Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

23And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

24Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:

25Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

26For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

27And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

28And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

29Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,

30Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

31Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:

32Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

What are good healing scriptures to read?

Keep reading, Titus 3:9

"But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain."

King James Version (KJV)

Yes, he did he wasn't a robot, He said: don't you know I can pray to the Father, and he will send 10,000 legions of angels to deliver me, but he chose not to but to die the death of the cross, He also ask God to take this cup but then says thy will be done. Jesus chose to obey, he said I only (I) do those things the father tells me to do. Every being under God has free will and freedom to choose just like Lucifer did. it's the Jesus is God that implies he had no choice but in fact the word was made flesh, Jesus was a human man if not and God, God's word says God cannot die but remember we only know in part and with God all things are possible. He's our God now tho. God's word is a book to be studied and I suggest that people read it like any other book and learn the accounts and about the people places and things that took place, get familiar with it and repetition of reading and faithfulness brings revelation of knowledge to us. I've read it for over 45 years, and you don't know God if you don't know His word or Jesus either. For there are three they bear witness in Heaven The farther The Word and The Holy Ghost, and the word became flesh (John) Your bible is Jesus get to know Him well

You really need to study God's word, 1 John 1:9

"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."

King James Version (KJV) I think you've missed the whole point of Jesus

Lord lead my adult kids to YOU @ the foot of the cross! Let ALL roads lead only to YOU Heavenly Father. Bring my children from death to life in YOU my grandchildren also Lord that we may be counted worthy on that day (I have nothing good to bring to that meeting) because of YOUR blood sacrifice. Lord forgive us and cleanse us help us to resist the enemy and open our eyes to see his devices, to rise up and wash our robes and get us oil for our lamps FOR THE BRIDEGROOM COMETH! Hallelujah....

Be merciful to me and my enemy alike, saving WHOSOEVER WILL. Let Your will be my will, let them be ONE. It's not Your will that any should perish...

Never the less Lord vengeance belongs to You and You alone. Put up a hedge of protection around us cover us with Your blood. IJNIP AMEN

I thank YOU Lord because maybe the enemy meant some things for evil but HALLELUJAH You Oh Lord of ALL are able to take everything that he meant for evil and TURN IT AROUND! And so I am REJOICING and GIVINGTHANKS !

Jesus said beware no man deceive you .

The only sure thing is the scriptures . 2 Timothy 3.16

Excuse my ignorance , what exactly do you mean by the use of the word "commoners" to describe people ?

Praying for you and your papa.

Lord we praise YOU and we thank YOU

Lord save this beloved papa have mercy Jesus breathe oxygen into his lungs cells and organs! IJN

Don't be surprised when the enemy does evil to you. But DO Be thankful that God is gonna use those EXACT things to work them out for your good!

That's what's on my heart this morning

Thank You God, Jesus, HolyGhost!

:-)) YOU took what the enemy meant for evil and YOU turned it FOR GOOD! Lord I'm so grateful this morning! Thank you thank you thank you :-_)

REJOICE IN THE LORD ALWAYS AND AGAIN I SAY REJOICE!

Starting my day with Ecclesiastes 11. It's a short beautiful chapter.

I wish young people (&old) could grasp the concept that whatever sins they do now, even though they repent, will still bring consequences to their lives. God is not mocked, we will reap what we sow. This is a reason to turn away from sin and NOT commit that sinful act in the first place.

Just as the serpent came to Eve he will come to you and tell you that God will forgive you, and God will forgive you if you repent, but the action will still bring consequence just as it did to Adam &Eve in the garden of Eden. They were "ashamed"when God came down to speak with them. They knew what they had done. God forgave them right?

But there are many consequences for sinning that can change the course of your life. Sin will always take you farther than you want to go and keep you longer than you want to stay.

Obey the Lords commandments and save yourself and all around you a lot of pain and heartache. Our sinful choices don't only affect us but others that are watching us. Just as doing the right thing encourages others to do the right thing. They are too watching.God bless!
