    Bro Dan Never said he did away with the ten commandments I said the there is one that covers all,

    remember the sabbath was made for man not men for the sabbath . Not my words Jesus Christ also the

    walk is supposed to be twenty four seven by the spirit where there is no law but the law of Love. Show

    me the sabbath day before the ten commandments were given, the patriarchs were righteous in Gods

    eyes before the written law. The Royal commandment is Love God with all your heart, soul ,mind, strength

    ans love thy neighbor as thy self on these are all the law and prophets. I didn't write the book.

    So much comfort we have from the heart of God
  • Parables are stories - 4 years ago
    [It would be nice to read a parable instead of a list of scriptures]

    A parable is a story told to illustrate a truth. Jesus' parables were teaching aids and can be thought of as extended analogies, comparing two things or ideas. A common description of a parable is that it is an earthly story with a heavenly meaning. Jesus told many parables; in fact, at least for a time in His ministry, Jesus relied heavily on story-telling: "He did not say anything to them without using a parable" ( Mark 4:34).

    When asked by the disciples why he used parables, Jesus said that he would fulfill the words of the prophet and reveal the mysteries from the foundation of the world.

    It has been noted, since the late nineteenth century, that the parables in the Gospels fall into three groups. These are usually given the names (1) similitude, (2) parable, and (3) exemplary story (sometimes called illustration).

    The characteristics of a parable are earthiness, conciseness, repetition, conclusion, listener-relatedness, reversal of expectations, kingdom-centered eschatology, kingdom ethics, and God and salvation

    Parables are used to teach a lesson or make a general point about a larger philosophical or religious issue, or to instruct people about proper courses of action. Because the stories are easily understood and engaging for all types of people, parables are an effective way to reach potential believers.

    In order for Jesus to be like us and be on our level, He was created the "FIRST" and "ONLY" son of Jehovah God! (NOW LISTEN TO THIS) By being "BORN" by the "IMMACULATE CONCEPTION" of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Mary, He became and "IS" the only human that was "CAPABLE" of enduring life without sin and growing up knowing and "LEARNING" his mission to die on the cross for "ALL" even die for Satan and his demons. Therefore, in order for Jehovah God to "FORGIVE" man and all creation that He had created, Jesus also endured the "TOTAL" pains of "HELL", AND, was the "ONLY" human to "GO" to hell, thus "BECOMING" and "QUALIFYING" to be "EVERYONE'S" Savior by "TEACHING" us to overcome the powers of Satan AND HAVE VICTORY OVER HIM (SATAN) ENDURING SATAN'S ATTACKS BY "LOVING" HIM AS WELL AS LOVING JESUS.

    Sometimes I read some commentaries to see what the consensus is. It doesn't hurt.

  • A Bible Rimance that leads to a Happy Life - In Reply - 4 years ago
    Genesis 24 is a great romance, wedding story.

    The servant in this story is a picture of the Holy Spirit. Every step he takes he prays. He is sent to the right woman for Issac. When she sees Isaac it's like love at first sight. She veils herself.

    Read it for yourself.

    I'm 70 and my best advise to you is to pray for your future marriage and ask the Holy Spirit to bring you to your husband (as in the story). While you are waiting, don't give yourself to other men.

    Put your faith in God, and stay busy as this woman did. Isaac died very happy because of the love of this woman the Servant brought to him.

    Thank the Lord that the Holy Spirit is looking for you right now. Stop moonin' over a man that is not ready to marry.

    Be prayerful every day. Be friendly. Often best friends are best suited; but sometimes it's just friendship.

    Dear Joshua Ofor on Revelation 7.

    Revelation 1: 8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.

    God have the control of all thing. Belive in Him the only God and King Jesus Christ our savior. Love u in Christ
  • Free - In Reply - 4 years ago
    Dear friends in Jesus. Ill think that was a good picture of it.

    So GiGi do u see only the letter in this. Please dont argue because if u dont understand pictures, it is not relevant to wright against it at all! But what u can do is too reflect on credibility. And think about it.

    God bless in Jesus Holy Name, Love u in Christ.
  • Free - In Reply - 4 years ago
    Dear GiGi again. In Jesus Name i have experienced the opposite of what you say, for all eight years.

    If we follow The free will we have, and live in it, is from the dark ones. But its thru He have give us a free will and we NEED to pray " i dont want my free will " take it away dear Jesus! Those ppl who will follow Him need too crucify the flesh. And keep theyr tongue tied, and thoughts as well. We are on our way, and Learning from Him the Holy Spirit.

    Ill promised God I would read the scriptures for as long as I lived, and ill see many hidden meaning in Scripture today. But then That was a real pray after God Fathers hearth! :D And the day come when He open up the Scripture for me. The words was like fire and the letters moved around for a sec or two.

    And no flesh can be saved without Him

    John 15:5

    I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

    Soo those time i go and tell somthing like heavenly to other ppl, they fall short because they do not understand.

    And in that it comes arguing and all kinds of evil. Soo when ill sheer something here in web site. I do understand that some ppl can speculate and may not believe it is true. But i promise u its thru all of it.

    Romans 2:

    4 Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?

    5 But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;

    6 Who will render to every man according to his deeds:

    7 To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life:

    8 But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,

    9 Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first,

    and further :p In Jesus Name

    Hi frens , fellow Christians, an truth seekers,.. as it states in Corinthians, Jesus " became our passova " ,. So with that simple saying written by Paul, then is it not safe to believe that everyday is a sabbath day ? ? ? For surly, we all have need for Christ in our life !!! An then of course,. The 3 times a year God asked us to come to worship, an read the lords word,. Passova, starting at sun down on the 15 day after the spring equinox,.. an then Pentecost, on the 50th day after passova,.. then of course feast of tabernacles on the 29th day of September,.. Notice, the word Easter , is not in this comment,.. for that word is actually, Pascal, meaning passova,.. a very grave misinterpretation in the KJB ,.. which is easily clarified in a strongs concordance,..

    peace

    Sister GiGi, the original manuscripts didn't have verses and chapters, the translators put those in God's word, so to kept things in context would mean keeping them in context of the entire word.

    The context of the entire WORD is God's kingdom with God's creation and GOD IS ALL IN ALL

    Corinthians 15:28
  • Earl Bowman - In Reply - 4 years ago
    Sister GiGi, I use to believe the same thing most on here believe.

    I kept having problems with those beliefs contradicting other scriptures.

    I believe those contradictions causes you to be deceived.
  • Vincent - In Reply on Revelation 7 - 4 years ago
    The end-time curses and plagues occur when anti-christ is in power, not before. The US Gov use media tricks that are planned propaganda to fool you. WMD? Chapter 9 cover 2 trumpets (5&6) and 2 armies (Babylon & beast) where the later smashes the former to dust. Matthew 24, Jesus describes the day of the Lord attack on the Lord's people, in the land of the Lord, Ezekiel 38.
  • Earl Bowman - In Reply - 4 years ago
    Sister GiGi, do you believe God's word can contradict itself.

    If God SENT his Son to be Saviour of the world, but the Son failed and didn't save the world. This would make Jesus not the saviour of the world.

    I know man says it's his choice and not God's choice and God will never make man do something man don't want to do because God don't want forced love.

    This contradicts numerous scriptures.

    Revelation 3:9 Behold, I will MAKE THEM of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lied; behold, I WILL MAKE THEM to come and worship before thy feet, and TO KNOW that I have loved thee.
  • Jesse - In Reply - 4 years ago
    Traynor,

    Matthew 3:12 should be taken together with Matthew 3:11. John says, "I indeed baptize you with water but there is one coming after me who baptizes with the Holy Spirit, or Holy Ghost, the Holy Spirit and fire."



    So the question comes up about what is the fire?



    If you stop there at verse 11, you can go in many different directions with all the theories out there, but if you just read one more verse ( Matthew 3:12), it answers it for us.



    It says "Whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire."



    He, Christ, is going to baptize His people with the Holy Spirit. That is the Lord's ministry. He baptizes people with the Holy Spirit.



    Paul said in 1 Corinthians 12:10 that we have been all baptized by one Spirit and all made to drink of the one Spirit, and we have been baptized into the body of Christ.



    When the Lord ministers His Spirit, when He gives His Spirit to people, that is called "the baptism of the Holy Spirit."



    So fire is judgment! He is going to baptize people with fire in the judgment. But He is going to baptize His people with the Holy Spirit. That is His ministry.

    The threshing floor in Luke 3:17 is used as an example. What they would do is they would gather the crops in and they would grind it on the threshing floor, and the grain would separate from the chaff, and then they would take a shovel, a winnowing fork, a winnowing fan, and they throw it up in the air. And the grain would only travel a certain distance but the chaff would blow even further away.



    By the time you got through with this process you got two piles. One goes into the barn, and the other one you burn. He is saying that's the way it is. With Jesus, either you are going to get baptized with His spirit, because that's His ministry. He will baptize you either with the Holy Spirit, or the fire of judgment.

  • Earl Bowman - In Reply - 4 years ago
    Sister GiGi, you are right, one belief is wrong and one belief is right.

    I am well aware that the vast majority of Christian believe the very God that tells them they have to love their enemies is going to do the opposite of what he tells his children to do, and send them to HELL. I am in the minority that believes God also loves his enemies.

  • Earl Bowman - In Reply - 4 years ago
    Sister GiGi, in you comments you have stated God makes his word simple so everyone can understand. That the truth is not hidden and in plain sight for everyone to understand.

    Matthew 13:13 Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not, and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.

    Matthew 13:34 And these things spake Jesus unto the multitudes in parables, and without a parable spake he not unto them.

    Matthew 13:35 That it might BE FULFILLED which was spoken by the prophets, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things (in parables) which have been keep secret from the foundations of the world.

    The disciples walked every day with Christ for three and a half years and never understood a word Jesus said.

    Mark 4:13 And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will you know all parables?

    Luke 8:10 And he said, unto you IT IS GIVEN to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others (it IS NOT GIVEN) in parables; that seeing they MAY NOT SEE, and hearing they MIGHT NOT understand.

    My comment should say without "holiness" no man shall see God.

    When I use voice texting, even after proofreading, I still find errors after hitting send. Sorry.
  • Grace - In Reply on Luke 13 - 4 years ago
    I agree that the 10 Commandments have not been done away with because God said if you love me you'll keep my Commandments. And if we do away with the Sabbath day commandment, then why would the other nine matter? The Bible also says without holding a no man shall see God. As for me I am still trying to figure out when the Sabbath is. I think it might be Friday night into Saturday night but I'm not positive. But that is the day that I am choosing to keep. I am not a Seventh-day Adventist. I am a Bible believer.
  • GiGi - In Reply - 4 years ago
    Amen Spencer!

    The Spirit anoints us with the "oil" of His making. Wherever we go He goes with us, always covering us with His anointing.

    He is our "covering" when the enemy tries to harm us. He is the "oil of gladness" that bring us joy. He is the power that allows us to obey God in every circumstance. He is the "oil in the lamp" that illuminates the Word for us to understand.

    What a wonderful gift. We receive God!
  • Chris - In Reply on John 21 - 4 years ago
    Hello Carol. I don't believe that the Archangel Michael was the pre-incarnate Jesus nor the resurrected ascended Jesus. We read of Michael in Daniel chapter 10, as one who helped another who was contending with the "prince of the kingdom of Persia". And again in Jude 1:9 when contending with Satan.

    Michael is seen as the chief prince of the angelic hierarchy, but Jesus is never seen as such nor does that work. In Jude, Michael did not hold the same authority as Jesus to be able to rebuke Satan. But of Jesus, we read that He is the Word of God Who proceeded from God to become a man for the suffering of death - taking upon Him our punishment for our sins. That was Jesus' Work then & He is now seated at the Father's right Hand interceding on our behalf & will one day make an appearance into the World to defeat Satan & his followers & to reign bringing in righteous rule & blessing. Michael nor any other angelic being can ever fill those shoes, as important as they might be in carrying out the Will of God upon Earth.
  • GiGi - In Reply on Revelation 22 - 4 years ago
    Jeanette,

    Perhaps, we don't really know. The important thing is for us to keep our eyes on Jesus, the Author and Perfecter of our faith. He endured the cross seeing the joy ahead when so many will be saved. We too, must endure whatever God allows with faith that we will not go through anything alone. Jesus said that He will never leave us nor forsake us.

    He also said the one who endures (in faith) to the end will be saved.

    So, be strong in the Lord and His Spirit within you. He is mighty to save and has the power and authority to overcome the enemy and all of His evil works. We are in good hands.
  • GiGi - In Reply on Matthew 1 - 4 years ago
    Hello, Mishael.

    Jesus' resurrected body was flesh and bones, as stated in Matt. 24:38-39. The disciples recognized Him. This tells me that we will be resurrected and have bodies like Jesus has, that are immortal and uncorrupted. Made perfect and glorified.

    I believe that we will recognize each other and also see Jesus with His glorified flesh and bones body.

    But, then again, we shall see, won't we! It will be marvelous in what every way God has determined! Can't wait to get there!
  • GiGi again - In Reply - 4 years ago
    Yes Bro Dan,

    I agree that the God willed that the Bible would be easily understood by common people who can understand the meaning of Scripture by the "seeing" the obvious and plain interpretation from wat is read.

    I do not believe that we need to try to "see" hidden meaning in Scripture. I think that that usually leads one into error and sometimes in a grave way.

    I do think that some things are allegorical, symbolic, or prophetic (but not every Scripture). However such verses that fall into these categories often get explained in other parts of Scripture.
