Give MDJ wisdom in ow to respond to the abuse. Please do not let anyone enable is drinking anymore by purchasing alcohol for him, making him a drink, or just being around him when he is under the influence.

    May MDJ be strengthened to do all she can to be peaceful and still refuse to stand and accept abusive language. Help her today, keep her safe and spare her husband from by delivering him from this alcoholism. We pray this in Jesus' name. /amen.

    You are right Glenn,

    Hebrew and Greek did not have a letter "J" "J" came into the alphabet and corresponding, phoneme arena with the Romans, I believe, as Jesus in Roman was "Iesous" in Greek and "Yeshua" in Hebrew. I am not sure how the initial "Ie" or "ye" was pronounced in Greek or Hebrew, perhaps a forced exhaled sound between J and Y or JH or HY.

    Anyone out there who knows more?

    Consider this please . Genesis Ch 6 V 2 , the sons of God and the daughters of men , who were they ?

    Ch 4 V 1 Eve says of Cain , I have gotten a man from the LORD . Why does she say this and why are we told that she said this ?

    Ch 5 V 3 Adam begat a son in his own likeness , after his own image , Seth . Why is Seth referred to in this way ?

    Ch 4 V 26 Seth begat Enos : then began men to call upon the name of the LORD . Why then specifically and why are we told that it was then specifically ?

    In conclusion could the ' sons of God ' and the ' sons of men ' be the offspring of Seth and the offspring of Cain rather than the offspring of angels and humans as some may believe ?

    Agreed, Adam. This incident was politicized by the leftist from the beginning. We should take that as a given. That is wy you and I work to get more information from sources other than the mainstream (leftist) media to try to get a better understanding of things such as incident with G. Floyd and the police.

    I have asthma and have had times when my airways were narrowed to such a degree that I could not get air in or out. i could not say anything. I have also hade narrowed airways were I could barely pass are and could just whisper any words. I have also had times when my airways were narrowed but I could talk hoarsely in halted speech. In all of these incidents I needed either emergency care or breathing treatments with my rescue inhaler and nebulizer. G. Floyd was able speak repeatedly that he could not breath for 10-20 minutes without. In the end, instead of trying to relax and concentrate on breathing slowly without speaking, he continued to call out. Understandably, he was panicking because his body was shutting down. eventually, most likely his he stopped and so he could no longer complete the breathing process, or his lungs stopped working and could not complete the breathing process. But I can't know for sure and it is good that there was an independent autopsy that said that e died of an overdose, not asphyxiation as you said. It was a sad event. But I believe an injustice was done to Derek Chauvin and not to G. Floyd. Mr. Floyd caused his own demise.

    And the left went rampant with rioting, looting, and other behaviors that ad nothing to do with injustice. The protesting was fine, to me, but it never stayed peaceful, and the protesters knew that would be the case.

    MMMM David,

    Jesus contended with the Scribes and Pharisees often.
  • GiGi - In Reply - 4 years ago
    Millie, So sorry about your daughter. We are praying for her and standing in the gap for her today.

    Lord Jesus, Protect and preserve Chrissy this day. Deliver her from this deep sadness and sense of hopelessness se is experiencing to such a severe degree. Lift this burden from her today and direct her to those who can truly give her immediate help in her desperation. Lord, we believe that You are mighty to save and are the deliverer of those wo are broken. So, because of who You are and because of what You have revealed and done in our world, we stand today in You as Chrissy's savior and deliverer this day. Amen
  • SquareHimself - In Reply - 4 years ago
    I was quoting Jesus in that case, who says that God is able to destroy both body and soul in hellfire. Matthew 10:28.

    The Bible teaches us two resurrections: one for the just, and one for the unjust. John 5:28-29. The righteous are resurrected at the second coming of Christ, and those who are alive and remain at His coming are given new bodies at that time. 1 Thess 4:13-17; 1 Cor 15:51-53. After the thousand years, the unjust are resurrected, and at that time they face their judgment, which is total annihilation (and not without suffering). Revelation 20:4.

    When Christ speaks of the worm that dies not, he is quoting from a passage in Isiaiah: Isaiah 66:24. This verse speaks of worms eating on the corpses of dead men. It is the worm that does not die, but the people are well dead, for they are merely corpses. There is no reason we should interpret worm here to mean "immortal soul," for there is no such thing. The soul that sins shall die: Ezekiel 18:4

    The word Jesus uses in Mark 9:44,46 is Gehenna, which was a place of refuse. They kept the piles of garbage there burning so that it would be consumed away. This is the illustration Jesus employed for the fires of hell: fires which burn up all the garbage and get rid of it.

    As for whether cessation from existence or eternal conscious torment are more terrifying to the wicked man... How many atheists have been made out of the doctrine of eternal conscious torment, which is not true? They reject God because they think He is a monster, when in reality He is not. How are we supposed to love God with all of our heart if He is more sadistic than the worst madman we can imagine? That's precisely why the devil loves this doctrine.

    Revelation 20:11-15 describes the wicked, as well as death and hell, being cast into the lake of fire. The lake of fire here is symbolic of total destruction. Death is being abolished, as well as the grave, as well as all the wicked and all sin.

    Hi there. I have a deep, sincere problem with statements like your that imply that Jesus was in error in what He said to his apostles and disciples wen He commissioned them to take and deliver the gospel to unbelievers. He never spoke and erroneous word ever. He identified Himself as The Truth.
  • GiGi - In Reply - 4 years ago
    Amen, Rick. We have so much to celebrate and five praise and thanks for in Jesus, our Redeemer. What an opportunity Christmas provides for us to share the good news of God's salvation in and through His holy, righteous, perfect, glorous Son.

    Wilbur,

    These are good Scriptures and wish to abide by them in connection to my participation in the congregation of my local church under the authority of my husband, pastor, or elders. I have no problem with these Scriptures.

    But in a forum such as this, we are all equal and free to present our thoughts on spiritual matters, as there is no established leadership to submit to. In Acts, Priscilla (wife of Aquila, taught Apollos about the baptism of Jesus compared to that of John and updated him on the gospel message to help him mature to be equipped to be an evangelist. So, I do not think that women are to be silent on spiritual matters in ALL circumstances.

    But thank you for bringing it up. Perhaps you could explain more why you did so. I'd like to know that, and perhaps others would, too since it was not part of the topic in this thread.
  • GiGi again - In Reply - 4 years ago
    Dear Janice, I think you have misunderstood me. I did not say that the Holy Spirit coming upon people with power as in the book of Acts is not a real experience , nor that I haven't received the Holy Spirit this way. I have. What I was talking about was the events in Acts as they related to the gospel message, the work of the Holy Spirit to regenerate and bestow grace and faith upon a person to enable them to believe the gospel, profession of faith in Jesus on the part of a new believer, water baptism and the enduement of the Holy Spirit upon believers.

    As for me, I have been a believer all of my life. I have been indwelt by the Holy Spirit since God regenerated me upon my conversion and the Holy Spirit continues to fill me all along the way. I have had hands lain on me for the Spirit to come upon me as it speaks of it in the book of Acts when I was in college. I have walked a Spirit-filled life for all these

    years, and I am 65.

    So, it is true, you don't know me wen you posted. Now you know more about me. I seek to walk by the Spirit everyday of my life, because I know that this is the kind of life we are called to live and it is provided supernaturally by the Holy Spirit. .

    Thank you for your concern about me. I appreciate tat. We are sisters in Christ. We may not agree on everything or may misunderstand each other, but we are together in this wonderful family of God through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. to God be the glory forever and ever. Amen
  • MDJ - 4 years ago
    Hello everyone. I pray that all of your requests to our lord and savior be fulfilled in His timing.

    I ask for prayer for God's will with my husband who abuses alcohol and verbally abuse me after consumption. I ask God to help me endure this abuse until I am able to make a change. I do argue back but I don't use demeaning words that attacks his character as he does.

    GOD knows his heart.. I try to avoid him by going to my car or locking my bedroom door until he goes away. So sad I have to live like this. God please help me in your time.

  • GiGi again - In Reply on Ecclesiastes 9 - 4 years ago
    Raynaldo,

    Thank you for sharing more about the Day of the Dead. I understand that it is part of your heritage.

    I still think that it is necromancy when one tries to contact someone wo is deceased to converse with them or have them present in a situation, regardless if there is fortune telling or "magic" involved. So, I do not do it, myself.

    As to speaking to Jesus, we are encouraged to pray to God and the Holy spirit interacts with us. That is different. One is dealing with God, who is unique and in a class of Being all by himself. It differs from "communicating" to or with people who have died. But I can let this conversation go for today. Thanks for you input.

    Hi Janice, The manger is the place where animals find their food, but now, lying in the manger, is he who called himself the true bread come down from heaven, the true nourishment that we need in order to be fully ourselves.
  • GiGi again - In Reply on Ecclesiastes 9 - 4 years ago
    Raynaldo,

    I am not sure if you understood me correctly in what I said about my dad. e was a believer and God took him before we were ready, but we accept that God makes the best decisions. He was merciful to my dad in taking him before e had to suffer the effects of emphysema whatever else old age would have brought him. My mom, siblings, and I all recognize this. As to being a caregiver for someone close to us. Most of us who know the Lord do so with love and concern for that person. But it is hard to do for some because they themselves may be advanced in years and the work is taxing on them. The neighbor my Mom spoke to is in her 80's, too, and her and her husband still live together in a condo. she has some outside help come in daily. That is all I was saying. I think you over-spiritualized it a bit.
  • Kent Bass - In Reply - 4 years ago
    Hi Latonia perryman, I give you words of encouragement and prayer. Yah promised to be our strength in all our weakness. So just look to the hills from whence cometh your help. Yahweh, may you strengthen Latonia for the tasks that you have set forth for her to complete before the foundations of the earth. I pray in the name of Jesus.

    1 Corinthians 14:33-40 KJV

    [33] For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints. [34] Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law. [35] And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church. [36] What? came the word of God out from you? or came it unto you only? [37] If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord. [38] But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant. [39] Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues. [40] Let all things be done decently and in order.

    1 Timothy 2:9-15 KJV

    [9] In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array; [10] But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works. [11] Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. [12] But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. [13] For Adam was first formed, then Eve. [14] And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression. [15] Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.

    Titus 2:3-5 KJV

    [3] The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things; [4] That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, [5] To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.

    In celebration of this time of year spent to give some heart and thought to the Greatest Achievement God ever

    has done for man in everything He perfectly lined up to make sure His Will our redeemer was Born Jesus The Christ.

    For those of us who believe its a great Time of again celebrating the Love forgiveness Joy Peace Grace and Mercy

    given to us through our MESSIAH. May we in a greater capacity grow to love and forgive in the magnitude that He does

    towards all seeking to believe and remind ourselves to be thankful for all things in His Name. The future is in His

    hands and heart and so are WE His Sons and Daughters. Eternity will be Unbelievable!!!

    Hi Janice More than likely hay and mud also rectangular with walls to keep the animals fed, the word manger

    pertains to feeding hence the Messiah is Our bread of Life! or Manna From Heaven. This is short version.

    Acts 1:15 KJV

    [15] And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples, and said, (the number of names together were about an hundred and twenty,)

    Acts 2:1-4 KJV

    [1] And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. [2] And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. [3] And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. [4] And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

    One hundred twenty disciples were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. This is the first Church of Jesus Christ, who is the head of the Church, is Lord of all. This is not called Trinity Church as you think that Trinity is made of the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: as you claim to say what Jesus said according to the scriptures of Matthew 28:19 KJV [19] Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: That is the misunderstanding of the scriptures as those who believe in the Trinity's doctrine that is FALSE.

    According to the scriptures of Acts 2:42 KJV [42] And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers. What Jesus taught the twelve apostles to follow His doctrine is the ministry of Jesus Christ according to the scriptures of Ephesians 2:19-22 KJV [19] Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God; [20] And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone ; (Read next comment in Part 10)

    To any and all No one is always right with Gods Word including myself in walk or talk or beliefs that's why we have a Lord and Saviour, also one other point, we don't defend God we speak the truth in love and either its believed or not

    even out example out Lord and saviour Jesus Christ didn't defend He gave doctrine reproof and correction then many times walked away until like the scripture said it was His time. Just food for thought, this doesn't need a reply and

    Merry Christmas and God Bless. You always must ask yourself what's the profit, either there's change or were not

    redeeming the times.
  • Janice E. Nichols - In Reply - 4 years ago
    I don't know you sweetheart, but I have been a child of God since the young age of sixteen. Blood bought, born again and Spirit filled. Yes the Holy Spirit infilling is an actual experience. Jesus promised it after His advent. He told His children to look for the Spirit of Truth which would come after He left. Last chapter of Acts. Real it and pray.

    it is real and is as real as Salvation. You need to pray and ask the Lord to reveal this to you. You must want this free gift just as the free gift of Salvation, but you must believe and have the same faith for this wonderous gift as you do for the great plan of Salvation. I will pray for you and for the Lord Jesus to give you a receiving heart. In the times of the end we all need the Holy Spirit for our guidance and help. He helps you to pray and receive an answer when nothing else will work. Praise the Lord Jesus for the wonderful Comforter He sent back to us on the day of Pentecost and is still alive and working in the Kingdom of God today just as His word said. In the love and service of our Master, Jesus Christ. Janice

    Acts 2:39-47 KJV

    [39] For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call. [40] And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation. [41] Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls. [42] And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers. [43] And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles. [44] And all that believed were together, and had all things common; [45] And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need. [46] And they, continuing daily with otures accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart, [47] Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.

    You will never find any scriptures of Book of Acts concerning Matthew 28:19 KJV [19] Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

    Because according to the scriptures of Book of Luke 24:30-53 KJV

    [30] And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them. [31] And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight. [32] And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures? [33] And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them, [34] Saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon.
