Look at the picyure to see if the references are center page OR bordering on the bottom of the page.
There's a lot of refereeing Psalm 83. Indicate what verses you are looking at.
But God is not so as man is.
As regards God being a "loving God", what do you define love to be? Are you using your standard of love to define God's love?
The only way that we can begin to understand the character of God is by submitting to Him and His will. We need to get to know Him through faith in His Son, Jesus Christ and to have that 'born again' experience Jesus spoke about in John 3.
When endeavouring to understand about God's love, we must consider the length the Father went to prove that love through sending His Son to humanity and all that Jesus submitted to for the sake of His Father's will for us.
His love cannot be separated from His justice, or His holiness, or His wrath, or His impartiality, and so on. All of the characteristics and qualities and attributes of God are entwined and cannot be separated as a man separates an egg or dissects all the parts of a cabbage.
He creates physical realities as an expression of His wisdom, and righteousness, and Sovereign power. Some Jewish sages see the Name of God as an attribvute of His Justice - as the Ruler, the Lawgiver, the Judge. As I think about the specfic details mentioned in chapters 1 and 2 of Genesis, those things do fit very much under those headings. God did not at first reveal Himself as the God who loves - though we know that His motiovation was His love - even as it says in 1 Corinthians - If I have not love, then I have become a troublesome disscordant noise (paraphrase); or in 1 Cor 16:14 - Do all things in love. This is how God works as our Father. Always has and always will.
John 4:24
God is a Spirit: And they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
And it's a little easier for us, who dont have much, because we have less responsibility and less to think about. This is exactly how Jesus wants us to be. Look for ways to become even more free from earthly obligations. Be totally dependent on Him. For He can work in that which is nothing. But never forget what Jesus says.
Luke 6:24-25.
James 5:1 and much more.
The words of God's will set you free, these are some example of words you should say to the powers. And not just these. For there is one in whom all powers are afraid, and that is Jesus Christ. His Name is Holy and Reigns Supreme. Use the powerful words and allthe promises, you know when you have found out what spirit they are of, speak directly to them in faith. That they be bound in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ, Above all other Names. We will not allow ourselves to be followed in all tidal waves or be beaten down by demons.
Fill yourself with the words of victory as in the Psalms of David and see also the book of Hebrews and Romans. For your own sake and gain assurance of salvation.
And dont forget too put on the Armor Of God Everyday, this is extremly important. Ephesians Chapter 6.
God bless u in His Holy Name Jesus Christ. Amen
It appears we are sharing without even communicating by message. I was going to mention the same of the texts of Matthew. Mark. Luke and John. However. I didn't want to take you off the subject matter. Now that you did. The writings of the four books have been found by Archeological research to have been written by anonymous writers decades later after their name sakes deaths. I understand the translations may read otherwise. Yes, the writings have substance. Some stories are consistant. There are statements that have been disproven. IE: The birthplace of Jesus Christ. There are 3 contenders for the birthplace. Bethlehem 1, the Church of the Nativity, Now in the Palestinian controlled West Bank.
Bethlehem 2, on Galilee, near Nazareth.
The 3rd place is in Nazareth itself , an Archeologist with the Orthodox Church stating the story of traveling to Bethlehem was merely a story for the early church to fullfill a Jewish Prophecy and history to associate Jesus to the House of David since King David was from Bethlehem.
The thing that bothers me about taking Translations so literally. Many Christians are imposing their wills on people that don't realize they are being told we are choosing for you.
Much would be learned by studying other Scriptures that are not part of of the "Standard" Bible. The Gospels of Thomas, Judas, and Mary. More Hebrew Scriptures have been found as well.
As you stated earlier, not all look at the scriptures as giving joy and hope. When they are used by some for the wrong purposes. Sometimes I have found more comfort in the Quran. Many people that leave the church leave because of another Christian.
A Woman of Great Faith in God that i most admired and loved said to me " The COC has plenty of Preachers, what we need are good Ministers. We need to be Ministered to not preached at." When we are ministered to it gives to conversation about faith. And isn't that what God is all about. What you believe. Faith.
without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sin. heb 9-22
1st peter 3-21 read please
blood is needed for redemption of sin not water
stop the heresy on this site please.ephesians

the forgiveness of sins.
Genesis 9:18, Genesis 9:21-22, he didn't cover his father, yet went & told his brothers, notice they were all adults with wives, (not children) Genesis 7:7, I've heard some Pastors explain it was perversion. Also disrespectful, dishonoring his father & taking advantage of a bad situation. His brothers showed honor & respect: Genesis 9:23, Please read: Genesis 6:8-13, Notice Noah was Just & found favor with GOD, in a corrupt violent time. Doesn't say & his children were also "perfect or Just" Genesis 6:22, Genesis 7:1, Genesis 10, the lineage of Noah, Shem, Ham, & Japheth. Notice also in the curse he cursed "canaan" please see Genesis 10:18-19, they were the people of Sodom & Gomorrah. Was this perversion carried down? Even from before flood? Genesis 8:21,
Genesis 13:13, Genesis 18:16-, Genesis 19, Zephaniah 2:9, 2 Peter 2:5-9, Isaiah 3:9,
Please rely on the WORD of GOD, if you study & read it thoroughly, you'll be surprised what it clarifies.
Hopefully this is helpful in answering your questions.
I'm always reminded of Stephen's witness (in Acts 6:8-15 & Acts 7:1-60) as a worthy example. Stephen preached the Word with boldness knowing the volatile reaction of both the Jews & their Council. And even when dragged away to be stoned, Stephen had every opportunity to recant his faith or at least retract his accusatory message against them - but he remained faithful to the Lord. And notice the special enabling by the Spirit upon Him in Acts 7:55-60, giving him a special revelation of Heaven's Glory, hence the certainty of his death. All he saw from that time on was the Triune God & his own soon departure to that blessed place. The anger, the jeers & stones of death that pummeled him were no match to what God had prepared for him.
How would we respond if facing a similar situation? How many 'Christians' would do whatever they could to save their lives rather than lose it for Christ's sake? For most of us, we've never had to face such a threat, but for many all over the world, they would rather remain faithful to the Lord Who bought them than deny Him. This gives us a glimpse of a "true believer": one in whom the Spirit dwells & will stand faithful by the Spirit's enabling in the hour of temptation. "Not many who say Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven".
Jews who have recognized Jesus as the true Messiah, often refer to themselves as Messianic Jews: acknowledging that their longed for Messiah has indeed come & first brought salvation & new birth within the sinner (both Jew & Gentile), & then will one day come in Glory to bring salvation from their enemies & a new government raised & governed in righteousness.
"as the LORD commanded Moses."
FAITH IS THE KEY! It may come and it will try and leave you, but you must have faith!
Faith in the resurrection and life of Jesus Christ. This means reading His words everyday. Stay away from the book writers who say they have a better way. Reading GODS word is all you will need to see again, hear again, walk again , live again , in and through the forgiveness of sin , found only in the shed blood of Jesus Christ! May God bless you in YOUR walk with Jesus. God created you for just this reason, a witness unto the truth! Repent and be baptized
When David passed away and Solomon began his rule, Adonijah approached Bathsheba and requested that she go before King Solomon and ask him to give him Abishag as a wife ( 1 Kings 2:13-17). She relayed the request, but Solomon saw through Adonijah's plot. To marry a former king's wife was to lay claim to the throne, and, since Abishag was considered one of David's concubines (even though they had never been intimate), Adonijah's request to marry her was full of intrigue. In short, Adonijah was renewing his bid for Solomon's throne. This was the last straw, and Solomon ordered that Adonijah be executed immediately (verses 19-25).
Just Google: Solomon and Adonijah. Choose the "Got Questions" link
I knew there was a struggle for the Throne. I just didn't remember it was one of Solomons sons.
I will pray for you and your family
