Hi Gregg. The Greek word used there is 'sapros', which means, 'rotten, worthless, corrupt'. So yes, I would think that anything insulting or malicious remarks said to another person, or of another person, could come under that meaning. And that would have an underlying emotion of not only the type of words used, but also the use of expletives & the tone & force of delivery of those remarks. Not only of our words, but also of the Spirit's Grace to our hearers ( Colossians 4:6).

What the difference of, FEAR OF THE LORD, and regular fear

Hi Jocelynne.

Don't be discouraged, You are asking questions that many have asked and they're not stupid questions.

There is not much I can do to make you believe what is written using scripture if you don't believe in the scripture.

But I would like to share that the bible is actually 66 books with over 40 different authors written over a span of thousands of years yet these books Harmonize as a single msg.

This fact along with the many fulfilled prophecy should be enough to consider this book to be unique and not just another history book.

Most history books give an accurate account on what has already past. The bible gives accurate accounts on what's future, what's present, and what has already past.

One of the most recent is Israel restored back to the land in 1948.

Ezekiel 37:21 (KJV) And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land:.

Read all of Ezekiel ch 7. This Prophecy is not completely fulfilled but it is continuing to unfold before our very eyes!!

Jocelynne pray to God to come into your life and open your eyes to his word and understanding.

Only he can do that,

And everyone who has wisdom and understanding git it from God, otherwise he/her don't have it!

You said you believe in God trust him, he want leave us without understanding.

I pray someone helps in this matter and would like to expand on this.

I will check on you in a day or so.

God bless you.

Thozi, you can go to the 'Select a Book' box at the upper right of the Main Page & you will see all the Bible Books & their chapters as you click on them.

You're on a great quest Eric to diligently read God's Word through in a year. Failure to achieve this matters little as many other things come upon us demanding our time & attention - but that you keep at it & to meditate upon it when you sense you need to dig deeper or to what the Spirit might be telling you, is of greater worth. The Lord bless you in your readings during this new year.

How many chapters does each Book of the Bible have?

If that's how we deal with sin, and even regret for sin - than surely regrets that were in no violation of the commandments (if that was the case) should be dealt with in the same manner, if not even more graciously - the Lord God does not expect us to be completely flawless (while on this earth), and because that's not what He looks for, even if you reached a point where you never made any mistakes (which won't happen), the Lord would not impressed:

Luke 17:10 "So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do."

What the Lord looks for is repentance and faith:

Mark 1:15

"And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel."

As well as hope and charity:

1 Corinthians 13:13

"And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity."

-

If there is anything underlying the regrets, such as past sin, 2 Corinthians 7:8-11 showed us to have godly sorrow breaking God's commandments:

Romans 13:9 "For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself."

And when mixed with faith in Jesus Christ salvation is received if unsaved, and all is forgiven - and once saved (not that we ever lose our salvation), but we can continue to repent for sins and have peace in knowing He understands we are made of dust, and we still have His total forgiveness:

Psalm 103

12As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.

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

14For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.

-

I would encourage you to read all of Psalm 103

Does the Bible clearly say anywhere that you will see your loved ones again?

And I realize that the one left behind and the one that went on to heaven needs to be a child of God.

Hello, Isaiah Abbise! The Scripture you quoted is Acts 2:17 "And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams," the Apostle Peter is quoting Joal 2:28, Joal having prophesized the Pentecost when Jesus would send the Holy Spirit. If you are born again, the Holy Spirit is given at the moment of salvation ( Ephesians 1:13). Galatians 3:2. This is in contrast to the filling of the Spirit referred to in Ephesians 5:18. We should be so completely yielded to the Holy Spirit that He can possess us fully and, in that sense, fill us. Romans 8:9. God bless you!

When man repents with a godly sorrow instead of a worldly sorrow, they are forgiven by God as this chapter shows us:

-

2 Corinthians 7

8For though I made you sorry with a letter, I do not repent, though I did repent: for I perceive that the same epistle hath made you sorry, though it were but for a season.

9Now I rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye sorrowed to repentance: for ye were made sorry after a godly manner, that ye might receive damage by us in nothing.

10For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.

-

Chapter 7 showed us they repented - in chapter 2 it showed us how we are suppose to comfort and confirm our love toward such a repentant person (has had godly sorrow for their sin):

2 Corinthians 2

2For if I make you sorry, who is he then that maketh me glad, but the same which is made sorry by me?

3And I wrote this same unto you, lest, when I came, I should have sorrow from them of whom I ought to rejoice; having confidence in you all, that my joy is the joy of you all.

4For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote unto you with many tears; not that ye should be grieved, but that ye might know the love which I have more abundantly unto you.

5But if any have caused grief, he hath not grieved me, but in part: that I may not overcharge you all.

6Sufficient to such a man is this punishment, which was inflicted of many.

7So that contrariwise ye ought rather to forgive him, and comfort him, lest perhaps such a one should be swallowed up with overmuch sorrow.

8Wherefore I beseech you that ye would confirm your love toward him.

---

So if God forgives a repentant person, commands us to do the same ( Mat 6:9-15), and even says to confirm our love toward that person, then we should have peace and trust in God's Word that we are indeed forgiven if we have in fact truly repented (had sorrow to God for our breaking the commandments).

I don't know her situation, but if she's a Christian ( James 5) - or she may need God's Law depending on the "mental illness"

James 5 - 14 Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: 15And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him. 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.

-

Some points to consider on it:

1. According to the Bible, only men can be elders ( 1 Timothy 2:11-15 - 1 Corinthians 14:34-36 - 1 Timothy 3:1-2 - Titus 1:6)

2. The anointing oil needs to be done; it's not "just medicinal" like some teach - (Read Mark 6:7 & 6:12-13 those were clearly supernatural healings, and yet they still used the anointing oil - when they anointed in the Old Testament, they simply poured oil on someone's head ( Leviticus 8:12 - 2 Kings 9:6 - 1 Samuel 10:1) - you don't need any man to "bless the oil", the Bible did not say to do that - the anointing simply needs to be done in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.

3. It says "the prayer of faith shall save the sick", so I encourage everyone to be praying that God will give the gift of faith to both parties during that time - earlier in James, it shows us faith is essential when praying, otherwise "...let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord." ( James 1:6-7)

-

And a short gospel message - Jesus said "...repent ye, and believe the gospel."

Repent in that context is godly sorrow for having broken God's commandments ( 2 Cor 7:8-11)

Romans 13:9 "For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself."

God miraculously healed me, I encourage you to pray the Lord God would being you some unleavened elders to do the following:

James 5 - 14 Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: 15And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him. 16Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed.

God miraculously healed me; I don't know the details, but if your mom is considered "sick" (and is a Christian):

James 5 - 14 Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: 15And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him. 16Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed.

God miraculously healed me after following James 5, and if she's a Christian, please encourage her to do this:

James 5 - 14 Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: 15And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him. 16Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed.

Hi Eric

I am reading a biograph on Paul and read on this event with Felix.

It read that Felix did not fnd reason to charge Paul but put him under guard to protect him from the Jewish leaders.

He then had him transferred to another city under escort by the guards to get him away from the Jerusalem leaders.

Very Awesome!! I like the big buttons & spacing between. I really like that we can clearly see questions & if anyone has replied & even how many have replied!!! I really appreciate that there will be night screen setting! With all the work you're doing & great improvements we can tell you really care about this site & the people on it. Thank you all so much for all your skills, knowledge & hard work. I like how the "Amen" button disappears when clicked. That's great! We will be able to know easily which ones we've Amen-ed. It seems it will be good also to let other volunteers know we like how they are doing especially in accuracy, kindness, gentleness, self-control at times & meekness.

I signed up for an "account". I'm working through a gaming console connected to big screen Smart TV. & it says, "Match requested format" when I put a "." behind my T., so we registered without. (had my son's help) Will this cause any problems?

Thank you for the encouraging words & reminding me to treat others the way I want to be treated.

This is for Mike Keese concerning the Antichrist and love of women



"Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god:

for he shall magnify himself above all"

Daniel 11:37 KJV

Thank you Donna for sharing further on your experience with the "Oneness Pentecostal" movement. Unfortunately, their avoidance to be in prayerful support for your son, is because that you are not in line with their beliefs & practises (i.e. been baptized in Jesus' Name only, no water baptism - no salvation teaching, & maybe not showing evidence of "the" spiritual gift manifestation). Unless you first agreed to & performed the basic requirements, all other aspects of full acceptance, ministry, even need for support, may be withheld. While it's good to stand firm on the Scripture & its doctrines, when those beliefs are in error, comments, such as your testimony here, are important to show to them & us, the Spirit's workings in your own heart to free you from such errors.

And yes, Graham, Cruz, & Wilkerson, would not be saved persons according to the 'Oneness' folk, as those men believed in the Triune God & were probably water baptized in the Three & are therefore hell-bound. You've been wonderfully exercised in spirit by the Lord - I trust you've been able to get into a good fundamental Bible-believing, Triune God-honouring, Fellowship.

Thank you S Spencer, your reply definitely helps.

Hello Shellon. I appreciate your good question that refers to 1 Thessalonians 4:14: "For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.

When reading it, the easiest understanding would be that it is God Who comes for the catching away of the saints, with the spirits of the departed believers from Heaven. But we know from reading other Scriptures of this particular time & of the future Millenium period, that God's Presence is nowhere seen, except finally after the creation of & habitation in the New Jerusalem in the new heavens & Earth ( Revelation 21:1-4; Revelation 22:1-3).

And then in 1 Thessalonians 3:13, we read: "To the end he (Jesus) may stablish your hearts unblameable in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints." So, Paul states here that it is Jesus that comes with the spirits of the saints. Then when we align this verse with the one in question, we could read 1 Thessalonians 4:14 as, '...even them also which are asleep in Jesus will God send along with Jesus'. As well, we see the clear distinction of those who are asleep in Jesus awaiting resurrection (v16), & those who are asleep in Jesus in Heaven (v14); these are not Old Testament saints, but those who have put their trust in Christ & have since passed on. When we die, our spirits leave our body to return to the Lord Who gave it, awaiting the day of resurrection when both spirit & body will be reunited & living forever with the Lord (v17). This was the great comfort to the despairing Thessalonians, who believed that the dead would not be raised or in the case of 2 Timothy 2:18, where those two false teachers taught that the resurrection of believers was already accomplished.

But we are assured that our rising to be with our Saviour is certain & those who have died 'in Christ', are not forgotten, but will come with Jesus & together we will join Him to reign with Him for eternity.

Hi Chelsea. I hope I understand correctly: that your husband approves of you giving 'tithes & offerings', but preventing you from attending your Fellowship. If not, will he allow allocation of a small amount of money for this purpose? But if he does agree to giving, then most Fellowships have their profile & various details on the Web, including a contact phone or email. Maybe you could contact your Church Fellowship for their bank account details (for gifts) so that you can do a direct deposit to them.

Otherwise, if that's not an option, I see no reason why you cannot give to a needy charity, especially with a strong Christian base & values; e.g. World Vision, Tear Fund, Salvation Army, Compassion Intl, Samaritan's Purse, etc. Or, if you know of any missionaries or Christian workers that are in need of support for their families or ministry. As well, most cities have many poor & homeless living in basic housing or on the streets/in cars; sometimes giving a little directly to those who appear in genuine need or supporting organizations that are going out into the streets to help them, would see your gifts properly directed & spent.

Your own ministry at home to your family is most important - first & foremost. Though the work can be mundane & sometimes appearing un-rewarding, when we serve well, as unto the Lord, the Lord is well pleased & your efforts will speak well of your Christian & family values to those who know you. Be in prayer about this matter, Sister & I pray that the Spirit will guide you to correct & compassionate giving.

Jeanette,

Paul also did the same thing back in 1 Corinthians 5:5 for the man who wouldn't repent in the church in Corinth. He says deliver him over to Satan for the destruction of the flesh so that his soul might be saved in the day of the Lord. Notice that it is for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

In Galatians Chapter 6, Paul says that if someone is overtaken by a sin, he says you who are spiritual, restore such a one. No matter what discipline is involved, it always must be to reach the goal of restoration. Not only did the Christians in Corinth remove this man because Paul said they had to discipline him. He wouldn't repent so they removed him from the fellowship.

Later on, he repented but they wouldn't let him back in. So they went from one extreme to the other. They let him stay there, but after they excommunicated him for a short time, they wouldn't let him back in after he repented.

You see, the whole point is to deliver such a one over to Satan. If they want their sin, and they don't want to repent, but they still want to fellowship in the church, give them over to Satan. Separate them from fellowship so that their flesh will be destroyed. But the goal is so that their spirit will be saved in the day of the Lord. So it's not punishment. It's to get the person to repent. A person who truly belongs to the Lord will not stay away for very long before they repent and seek to be accepted back into Christian fellowship!

It says in John 3:16 that God loves the world

Married to a nonbelievers

Heb 12:1 KJV - Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,

its talking about our sin being burned to us and like a weight upon or shoulders

2Co 5:8 KJV - We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.

went we die our soul goes to heaven

Rev 2:6 KJV - But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.

Rev 2:15 KJV - So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate.

a people that taught bad doctrine and did wicked things to the point that they got a mention in the book of revolution.

Nothing is in the bible for no reason this shows us we can hate people too that teach false doctrine and do wicked things. contrary to the popular belief
