Gen 5:24 KJV - And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him.

He went to heaven

we know this because

Gen 5:22 KJV - And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters:

Bible says he walked with God so he was saved

never heard that one before

Rev 12:17 KJV - And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

here the bible is talking about the devil being wroth with the children of God.

Because God doesnt love everyone. Where did you get that from?

Psa 11:5 KJV - The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.

Judge Felix expected Paul to bribe him out of prison, but only got a preach from Paul. The jews bribed the Judge and kept Paul in prison. This was my understanding of the chapter.

I didn't complete the challenge of bible in a year, but here I am continuing and I believe is what God would want to continue vs giving up.

Hello Kent . my name is Charmain , I notice you pray for different people. do you have a church ? or a study group. i am looking for a church. have a blessed day

How is it going Brother Rick?

I hope all is well.

We haven't heard from you.

I want to tithe but, I am a homemaker with no say in how the family finances are doled out. I watch church on TV to avoid the pandemic. So with no money and no way to leave my home what could I possibly do to tithe? I understand it is usually a money concept but I have none, he doesn't want me to go to church and risk getting covid ( which I understand and totally agree with ) so I also can't offer to volunteer. I want to give my first to God but don't actually know what to do. I could give the first hour of my day to reading the Bible or diligently doing my wifely duties in God's name but would that even count? Would I really be giving anything to God when I should be doing those things daily any way? I would appreciate any ideas because I have nothing to give but still want to give something.

Good Morning Paul,

I did research last night on this. Although many sites broke down the name Nicolatians as an explanation of their teaching as ecclesiastical heirarchy, but Scripture does not indicate that their teachings are related to the meaning of their name.

I believe that they are named Nicolatians because they followed a person named Nicolas. Scripture does describe them as following the ways of Balaam. In the OT Balaam was a prophet who was tasked to curse Israel, but God prevented him from speaking curses. Instead, when Balaam spoke to curse Israel, God made him speak blessings instead.

So, then Balaam resorted to bringing in foreign, idolatrous women from Moab to seduce the the Israelite men into fornication and idolatry.

So, some early church writings speak of the Nicolatians as church members who mixed pagan practices with Christianity, especially participating in pagan temple feasts that included temple prostitution and consuming foods offered to idols in the feast. Other writers spoke of them as teaching that since the body is not spiritual, it doesn't matter what we do in the flesh because it is the spiritual self that matters. Therefore, they indulged in sin readily without shame while still keeping fellowship at the Christain worship services.

This behavior and thinking is called antinomians am, which teaches, since we are under grace, and all of our sins are forgiven, we can sin with abandonment because of our Christsin liberty.

Hope this helps.

By the way, my last name is Nichols and I have read its meaning as "People of Victory".

But it seems that some sites wanted to connect the meaning of the name with priests having authority over laity. This view shows an ecclesiastical bias as at the time of John's writing in Revelations there were no priests/laity not heirarchy in the church. That came several centuries later. Churches had appointed elders, overseers, bishops, evangelists at this time but no central church government.

I don't believe this because Scripture does not teach it and I believe it is heretical thinking.

Hi Kenaket.

God is Holy more so than we can imagine,

Sin separates us from God. Jesus is the only way to the father. John 14:6. Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Matthew 7:21-23. Not 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.

Many 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?

And then will I profess unto them, I NEVER KNEW YOU: DEPART FROM ME, YE THAT WORK INIQUITY.

I hope this helps.

God bless.

can you please pray for me to overcome my wicked ways of my flesh and to submit to God. can you pray for me to receive the holy ghost and please pray for me to receive a dream from God for it is written "in the last days saith God I shall pour out my spirt upon all flesh and your sons and daughters shall prophecy and your young men shall see visions and your old men shall dream dreams. thank you very much

thank you for your prayers sister , mr casey still in hospital

Yes please pray she makes a decision

Please pray for my sister in law Michelle, she is need of relief from horrible back pain that is crippling her, and pain in her heart from mental illness!

Greetings! I do have a question, will God himself come back to rapture us as it says here, or will Jesus come back for the rapture?

Amen Colton rogers, that is the most important thing that we can get out of life. Nothing else can compare to it. Stay strong in the faith brother because you will be tested.

Hi Kenaket, You have to realize that Yah is righteous in everything that he does. He does love everyone, but when a person strays far away from him, his righteous judgement declares that he hates them, and even this is OUT OF LOVE so that the person may return to Yah. For example when a child puts their finger in an electrical socket, and the parents angrily tells when not to do it. Does that mean that the parent doesn't love the child? No, it is righteous judgement so they may know not to do it in the future.

Amen Joyful, Yahweh is working it out for the best. He knows what is best for us even more so than we ourselves. We are blessed through Jesus. Thank you Joyful for this word of encouragement and may you continue to be strong in the faith.

Yahweh I lift up Teresa Nicholson before your throne. She has struggled all her life with bodily affliction. The enemy has com up against her time and time again yet she has kept the faith. I humbly as you to open the windows of heaven and pour her out a blessing where there is not room enough to receive it and my you rebuke the devour for your sake. Send forth your miracle healing power upon her. May you deliver your servant from her torment. I pray and ask all these things in Jesus name.

A friend of mine shared his thought to me about Eph 4:29. "Corrupt speech" can be saying insulting or malicious things to another person. Jesus did not shame people with malicious intent. He spoke to people, like the woman at the well, to point out how our lives can be turned and improved to know salvation. Words to edify, not bring down. This can be applied to our daily lives in how we speak to our spouses and coworkers.

Reading this chapter as best I could I took notes. Then I read Matthew Henry's (MH) commentary and my eyes were opened.

I too, among other things, wondered about why the old prophet was not punished.

MH answer to my heart as I understand it:

1. Worry about yourself when you have disobeyed you Lord. You are likely, nor should you concern yourself as to why or how the good Lord punishes sinners.

2. Focus in on your sin alone and dont use mitigating circumstances, as the current social/legal order may do in current society, as your crutch to try to wash away the seriousness of your offense.

Praise HIM,

Mathew Henry 1710 explains this very well in his comments he say's if a person is saved,but does not hang on to his salvation with God the father Jesus the son and the Holy Spirit in prayer keeping the faith through prayer.Then more demons will come than before! A personal relationship with God through Jesus is what to seek to keep the demons away through the Holy Spirit.For we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against powers and principalities in high places.

Just a sincere question for all the oneness people. What about the great trinitarian evangelists of our time such as Billy Graham, Nikky Cruz, and David Wilkerson? Are they not saved? Because they were trinitarian? Or maybe they were baptized with the father the son and Holy Spirit as Jesus said to be in Matthew? And not in Jesus name only? Are they going to hell?

Glenn. I caution you. Satan is not human. He has to borrow a body. Ephesians 6 Satan, demons, principalities, powers, evil spirits: none have bodies. In the Old Testament they were called inhabitants. Satan took the body of a serpent.

Glued gemstones all over him. You can Google lists of evil spirits names. It's gross.

God was not walking in the garden with invisible spirits.

Secondly, all the giants and evil spirits DROWNED after the flood.

Jesus told demons to get out of the crazy man and go into some pigs__which promptly DROWNED. They wander around looking for people who are drunk, drugged, immoral, etc. to get inside them. They don't mind if we read the Bible or go to church.

They just don't want you to belive it, and live it.

Eve stepped away from her husbands apathy. The serpent was all sparkly with jewels; Adam didn't flinch. She ate the fruit and Adam ate it because he loved Eve more than God. BAM! the 2 Trees were protected and the first HUMANS were driven out. Gods plan of redemption was already in force. A human would die willingly, to pay for the sins of all mankind. Gen. 3:15. When Abraham was willing to sacrifice his own son, for the sins of future Israel; the plan went forward to Luke 1. God became the Son of Man: HUMAN. Jesus would have dominion, power and authority. Satan would be stripped at the Cross. Jesus took satans keys to the prison of death, hell and the grave. He crushed satans neck with his foot.

Isaiah 14:24

You should just give up this Old Earth Cult and be born again from Jesus. Follow Him. He will give you the Holy Spirit forever: to be your Teacher and Revealer of scripture in the KJV Bible. Ask Him to wipe your hard drive (brain) and Help you to win souls to God. Wise he is, who wins souls to God. Holy Spirit just said to tell you read in Timothy.

Good night.

In these times God allowed these things amulets,snake on a stick,to ward of the snakes ,and other things.As the faith in God grew they were taken away to put their faith totally on God.You will see later in the bible that the snake on a stick was destroyed because they started to worship it.God is a jealous God.

Please pray that I have favor energy strength and do a great job with alertness and that it's not busy at work today and tonight and my stomach doesn't hurt and I can go to the store a few times ijnip amen

I do but then I really dont because I dont know where it came from and if dont think its the right Version either but recently I dropped it and so its coming apart/or missings pages also

I don't have any cartilage in my knees, osteoarthritis, I also have severe scoliosis and degenerative disease, liver disease, because of my liver I swell and my ammonia levels causes confusion, imbalance, basically plays havic on my mind and body. bladder issues, it spasms, (been like that since I was a child. On disability and I'm 68 yrs old, I have 2 sons left and 4 grans, a sister who I love with all my heart, she takes care of our mother and she has issues as well, I'm the first of 7 girls and only Jennifer is in my life. I've had a very hard life but through it all I am blessed. I thank God everyday that he loves me and Jesus Christ is my Savior. I know that what we have done to our bodies through our lives has an effect on us later in life but I'm still blessed. I have learned so much from my mistakes as we all do and I am asking for a healing whether it's directly from God or from the Dr's who he gave the knowledge to, the gift of knowledge. It's very hard to get around and with no transportation it's right aggravating and frustrating but I'm still blessed. I know this is very long but I wanted you to know about me so if a prayer could be offered up for me I would truly appreciate it. Most of all that my faith continues to grow more and more. I'm not able to attend Church which I would like to but I do watch several Pastor's on TV and of course my Bible, God's Word. I want to thank you for your time and trouble for reading this. I'm not complaining but requesting prayer and what ever God has in store for me I except it because he has blessed me in so many ways. I thank ya very much and have a blessed and glorious day. Love in Christ, Teresa Dianne Nicholson

I thought i carried offence for years....only this week i realised it was regret...what does gods word say about holding onto regrets.even though those family members are now dead.?

All scientists seek to explain FOUR QUESTIONS: Time, Force, Action, Matter. (Even Steven Hawking)

I was reading in Genesis, the Holy Spirit stops me on verse 1. He said the 4 things

TIME: in the beginning__God set TIME ticking

FORCE: The Godhead created. (Father, The Word ( John 1:1) and Holy Spirit

ACTION: and the Spirit of God MOVED over

MATTER: earth, waters, atoms

God purposed, Word spoke: Light Be, and there was Light. (Purpose Spoke Light)

Carbon dating proves earth is around 2-3 billion years. SATAN was around but he's a created being. He cannot create dinosaurs, cavemen or anything other than chaos.

My personal theory is: Romans 1:19-20. God put the artifacts in earth for us to find; oil for our cars, coal to be warm, fresh water for us and salted water for creatures.

We have to pray for scientists to see the Book of Romans. It's an occupation, as is archaeology, bio science, medicine. We are without excuse if we refuse to acknowledge The Godhead.

I caution you, not to teach your ideas to Gods baby Christians.

There are many, many more scriptures all over the Bible about creation; not just in Genesis.

I think we're all going to be in heaven watching God restore earth to BEFORE mankind messed it up. 2 Peter 3; Malachi 4:1

I've always thought some of the best stories are in chronicles, Kings, Samuel__Nehemiah. There's lots in Jeremiah. We just can't seem to like ALL parts of the Bible. Revelation 22 is key.

I don't want to show up in heaven, and meet Habakkuk and have to say: "sorry man, I never got to your book" :/

See, if you teach that man existed before Adam; that's called OLD EARTH THEORY. It's heresy.

Let's all remember that Malachi 3:16-18. God has a Book of Remembrance that writes down what we think and say about Him. How wonderful to bless His Holy Name!
