God Bless You today, Mama Cass. Peace and Love, Gigi

1 Corinthians 3:17 is maybe what you're seeking, Jerry.

Is the third eye mentioned in the bible? Is this classed as demonic or . Please explain

Sherri Nothing it is part of Roman Catholicism belief system to put people in fear.

Hello David. I think your question can best be answered by Jesus Who dealt with this same enquiry by a Jewish lawyer: Luke 10:25-37.

Other passages in the Bible that speak of 'neighbour', generally referred to those in one's own community, as that was what Israel was mostly concerned with. All others were Gentiles to whom Israel had no close dealings with. Unfortunately, they did sin by integrating often with them (idolatry, inter-marriage, slaves, etc.), but the idea of neighbourliness was generally confined to their community or tribe.

Therefore, Jesus' illustration is an apt example of who our neighbour is; not just in our neighbourhood or those we know, but includes all others who come across our life's path. Therefore, I could covet someone else's possessions (or bear false witness against him) even if he only came briefly into my physical view or brought to my knowledge.

Sherri, I do not believe that purgatory is mentioned in scripture by that term. It is an idea that is conjectured from some Apocryphal scripture verses, I believe. I don't believe it is a real place as taught by the Catholic Church. It is said to be a place where one is purged or purified from our sins and prepare one for entering heaven, but that doesn't really fit with our remission of sins through the sacrifice of Jesus.

Glad to hear that Krystin. God Bless You and keep you well.

Hello fellow children of God. The new year is approaching and many of us are wondering what it may bring to us, our families, our nation and our world. We can prayerfully order our steps according to the will of God in our own sphere of influence and stretch ourselves to reach even further out of our comfort zones

I have a prayer request that I have been seeking God for for some time. My husband and I are entering retirement and we are ready to downsize our home and relocate to a more rural and much less metropolitan vibe area. We have one place in mind, but are open for others. We currently have a two story house and our bedroom is upstairs. With back problems that may persist, I would like to have a one story, smaller house for us age in. I have made the house plan that would be adequate for us, nothing fancy, modest and easy to maintain. we have been looking for property for a few years but have not been led yet to the lot that will sort of "check all the boxes" we would prefer to have a simple lifestyle.

So, we would appreciate it is some of you would join in on our prayers for the Lord to open up the best lot for us to be put up for sale soon before pricing rise too high with this awful inflation. That we will know for sure when we see it that it is the lot God wants for us to buy and build on. And that all matters with a builder, permitting, etc. will go smoothly. Thank you so much. I rarely pray for material things for us. God as made us frugal and good money managers that keep us well. But this is something we do feel led to do, so I guess it is time to ask for the prayers of others as well.

David welch on Exodus 20 Throughout Gods word there are alwaystwo Great commandments which always hold

true ander the patriarchs the law and grace. Mathew 22:35-40. Thy neighbor is a friend in context and the same

applied all throughout the old testament. Romans 12:17-21.

Tony In the context it is not talking about Jesus Christ it is an angel Michael who always fights for Gods people

who at that time ere in bondage to the King of Persia and Daniel was being given revelation or revealed

knowledge from God on present and future events. Also be aware of individuals in general that interpret the

scripture to make it fit what they believe, its called private interpretation 2 Peter 1:20+21.

That's an excellent idea , just Google it ! Also , Google Mark Ch 3 V 5 .

Krystin When we fall asleep or biblically die we take our last breath soul life is over and from dust thou art unto

dust thou shalt return and the spirit goes back to God who originally gave it. In the resurrection dealing with the

church body of Christ we are put back together in totally different incorruptable bodies 1 Corinthians 15:50-54.

Krystin I'll present the scripture and you decide man originally was a 3 part Genesis 2:7 formed dust of the

ground and breathed into nostrils breath of life soul which is breath life nothing to do with the spirit which is

eternal. Genesis 1:27 God created man in His image = John 4:24 God is Spirit quote from Jesus Christ, this is not

saying man was a God this is saying with spirit man had a connection with God who is Holy and spirit not of the senses.

When man Adam and eve died in Eden what they lost was their spiritual connection with God the creator and became

body and soul life. When jesus Christ fulfilled His ministry it became available for man to become born again of Gods

gift which is holy spirit so man again had a spiritual connection with God. As it says in 1 Corinthians 2:14 the natural

man cannot know experiencial knowledge the things of God because there is no spiritual connection. When we are born again we receive the spirit of holiness Gods Gift or Holy Spirit wehich is eternal life spiritually.

thank you so much. I believe Jesus Christ has sinned for me, all cleanse me the cross and be baptized.

Please pray for me, because my friend Ivan has situation over me and something evil. Pray for me, I will become strength and wisdom....

Hi Krystin. The Bible speaks of our persons as having a body, soul, and spirit, as Bro Dan says with his Scripture citations. I read a little on this by googling the matter. You could do that to read from some of the sources I did.

So, my understanding is along these lines:

The body is the physical part of us made up of matter: atoms, molecules, chemicals, DNA, etc. that form our body that is seen, felt and tangible to the five senses.

Our soul is a spiritual part of our being that includes: mind, will, emotions, thoughts, reasoning, logic, and consciousness of self.

Our spirit is a spiritual part of us that connects us to God in communion, faith, and the conduit through which we receive of all God gives us spiritually. It is the part of us in which the Holy Spirit dwells after He regenerates us. It holds our conscience, our unity with Christ, the power of the Holy Spirit and spiritual gifts He bestows.

All three of these aspects of our being interact with each other as they are distinct but not isolated from each other.

Before we are converted, our soul and spirit are dead to God. We cannot have fellowship with Him and are enemies of God, slaves to sin, and unable to come to God on our own. After our regeneration by the Holy Spirit and conversion our soul and spirit is made alive. We are no longer enemies of God but are adopted as a child of God. Then we can come to know God, have power to overcome sin, live according to the Spirit, understand spiritual matters in God's word an in teachings from others such as pastors, friends. etc. We are now able to worship God in spirit and in truth, lift up faith-filled prayers , have unity and community with other believers.

When we die, our body decomposes into dust, our spirit goes to God, from whom it came. I am not sure what happens to our soul. But when we are resurrected, our body is resurrected incorruptible and united with our soul and spirit.

Check out what the topic says online for more info.

Hi Krystin, the soul and the spirit are almost inseparable except if you are Yahweh, Jesus, or The Spirit itself. When you die your fleshly body goes back to the earth. Yah calls your soul and spirit to heaven. Your soul contains your unique aspects that makes you, you. You don't lose these things. I know, I know, we just have to learn to get used to ourselves Lol.

Hi Jecille, I give you words of encouragement and prayer. Jesus came to open the deaf ears. So know that he loves your daughter. Yahweh, I come before you asking you to open up the hearing of Jecille's daughter. We believe that you've already healed her in the name of Jesus. We stand in agreement. In Jesus name, we do pray. Amen.

Hi Paula, I pray in the name of Jesus that Yahweh may save all your children by the precious body, blood, soul, and divinity of his dear son Lord Jesus Christ.

God I need a supernatural intervention. Please heal my whole health. My brain, mind, eyes and skin. Please give me deep restorative healing sleep every night for 9+ hours without using sleep medicine. Please help. I have a little girl that I love very much and I need to take care of her. She needs me she is only 9. Heal and protect us so we can get back home to Washington State. My son and my mom are there. I should of never cam to Racine Wisconsin. They hurt me here. I am petitioning you to remake me my body and mind and soul and spirit. I love you God!

Krystin,

I am sure you will get different replies on this, my understanding is close to what is in your post. Soul and spirit are two different words but seem to think of being the same and are hard to separate in our mind. What happens to these when we die there are different understandings, does the soul sleep in the earth with the body, or is it immortal and go to two different places?

The word soul in Hebrew is nephesh meaning a soul, living being, life, self, person, desire, passion, appetite, emotion. The Greek word psuche meaning the soul, life, self, a person's distinct identity.

The word spirit, the Bible writers used the Hebrew word ruach meaning breath, wind, spirit, or the Greek word pneuma also meaning wind, breath, spirit, when writing about the spirit.

Genesis 2:7 And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

The spirit goes back to God Ecclesiastes 12:7

The Holy Spirit seals us until when? Ephesians 4:30

We are buried mortal, dead, in corruption and we are raised immortal incorruptible 1 Corinthians 15:42-44

All consciousness ends when we die. Psalm 6:5 Job 14:12-14 Job 17:13-16 Psalm 89:48 Psalm 115:17 Ecclesiastes 9:5-10

We sleep in the dust until resurrection day, the day of redemption. 1 Corinthians 15:51 1 Thessalonians 4:14 1 Corinthians 15:52-54

God raised Jesus from the dead after three days and three nights, so, Romans 8:1 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.

Have not found any scripture that says we or our soul or spirit is immortal, may someone else provide it if it is in the bible.

God bless,

RLW

Praying for all who are finding the holidays a hard time. For the broken hearted, dealing with grief of a loved one, the addicted, the lost, the lonely , the ones that fighting depression, feeling unworthy when truly they are worthy. All pain people may be facing, illness, immune disease, slipping away to Dementia/ Alzheimers.

Father I pray they come to know you Amen!

No matter what trials & tribulations we experience ,God is ALWAYS WITH us ! Blessings can come from adversity .Bad & sad times can only make us stronger to face whatever comes our way . We learn from these experiences .Yes , we make mistakes ,errors of judgement ,try & fail in spite of our best efforts. When we get to the other side of these experiences ,we are stronger . It's easier after the fact to see that God is always with us every step of the way. Have faith ,pray always, study the Bible !The Bible is our guide. Some lessons are learned the hard way as we can be stubborn. Being stubborn is not always a character flaw as it means we don't give up easy.Blessed be the ties that bind us together with & for God. God bless everyone!

What does purgatory mean according to King James

Tim 1 Corinthians 6:1-3 We need to remember that angels are messengers but some are on the bad side of the

fence spiritually so to speak, those we will judge.

Larry For the wages or payment for sin broken fellowship is death, but the walk bu the spirit is life and peace

matter what, and there is no respect of persons Romans 2:6-11y

Krystin I have seen to schools of thought on this. Scripturally this is what's written then you decide. John 4:24

Jesus Christ said God is Spirit you can't see taste touch smell or hear spirit in the senses. In Genesis 1:27 God created

man in His image it doesn't man became God it just means that man had a point of contact with God. Now in Genesis

chapter 2 verse 7 it says that God formed man of the dust of the Ground the body and then breathed into his nostrils

the breath of life air inhale and exhale and man became a living soul. In Genesis after the downfall man died spiritually

because he lost his spiritual connection with God, he could still breath air and had a body but he had no spiritual

connection to God. In true science everything goes back to its original point so when a christian falls asleep I.E. dies

the holy spirit goes back to God who gave it born again, you take your last breath and you body goes back eventually

bones take a long time to dust. From dust thou art and unto dust thou shalt return. Now some believe the spirit and soul are one in the same I don't see that biblically because spirit life is eternal and breath life will end in this world.

Hi Krystin,

Based on scripture it tells us that the body, soul, and spirit, are (3) three seperate entity's.

1 Thessalonians 5:23

"And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ."

Luke 1:46-47

And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.

Since God is spirit we communicate to Him with our spirit.

Our soul and spirit will go on to our next life.

Our body is temporary, and goes back to the dust when we die.

Hope this helps.

Hello David In the gospel of Mathew the Royal law applies here in 37-40 the second half love thy neighbor

as thyself, the word neighbor if friend. The word neighbor in Exodus is friend or companion and is used 13 times

the idea is we walk according to Gods rules with all and then God will deal with it. That's my understanding

In Romans 12:18-21 is our rule in the Church.

Larry There's a lot of that going on with many translations, getting watered down, I stick with KJV and

concordances and books on eastern culture and customs of the time. Also other teachers in specific

biblical fields.

Larry,

If a man keeps sinning after being saved, that man needs to take inventory and ask himself if he's truly saved. A person who is saved has the Spirit of Christ living inside them and they are no longer living under the sin principle. However, a saved person can and will commit single acts of sin, but that person can no longer sin habitually because the Spirit that now lives in them prevents that from happening.

We are told in 1 John 3:9, "Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God."

This verse makes it sound like a saved person does not sin. But here's what it literally says when taken from the Greek text: Whosoever has been born of God does not practice sin; for God's seed remains, or abides in him: and he cannot sin, that is, he does not have the capacity to sin because he has been born of God.

You see, once I'm born of the Spirit of God, I do not have the capacity to continue to satisfy a lifestyle of sin. It is impossible! Why? It's because God's Spirit in me keeps me from sinning continually and habitually. That's one way to test if I am truly saved or not. If I go out and keep sinning habitually and the Lord does not deal with me, I'm probably not saved at all. If I step out of line and there's no conviction in my heart, do I really have God's Spirit living in me? Probably not!

As far as paying for our sin, Jesus Christ paid the penalty for our sin. There is nothing man can do to pay the penalty for his own sin.
