Hi Lala.

Salvation is life!

Salvation is a new creation in you performed by God.

Salvation is when "GOD TRANSFORM YOU" after you truly believing and trusting in the Lord Jesus Christ. You have been transformed from dead to life. we're not perfect but we are transformed.

Here's a few old testament scripture that gives a description of salvation.

Deuteronomy 30:6. And the LORD thy God will CIRCUMCISE thine heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live. "Here you see the lord cutting away filthy flesh from your heart."

vs. 8. " This is what God causes you to do after cutting away the "flesh".

"And thou shalt return and obey the voice of the LORD, and do all his commandments which I command thee this day."

Jeremiah 24:7.

Jeremiah 31:33-34.

Jeremiah 32:38-40.

Ezekiel 11:19.

Ezekiel 36:25. Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I CLEANSE YOU.

Ezekiel 36:26-27. "Salvation is a cleansing!"

Salvation is a transformation by Gods spirit in you, and that comes by way of Jesus.

New Testament references.

John 15:1-8.

John 10:27-29.

John 6:45.

Ephesians 2:1-10.

Philippians 1:6.

Colossians 3:10.

Romans 6:17-18.

I know this is a lot,

I pray you read over them.

God bless.

Hi Roman thanks for sharing that verse, but this verse doesn't support your belief about hell not existing or no one going there. Do you have any more you feel actually supports your belief?

1 Corinthians 15:22 "For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive."

This says those in Christ shall be made alive. Most people aren't "in Christ" and reject Him. Why would God welcome people who reject and hate Him into heaven a place He prepared only for those who love and follow Him? Hitler for example wasn't a Christ follower and wasn't in Christ. Judas was a follower, but betrayed and rejected Christ so he wasn't in Christ either. Most people aren't, as the Bible says. Do you believe that?

The fact is most of the Bible is warnings about who we will follow: we will follow Christ or will we follow satan (the world)? Parable after parable Jesus talked about warning us repeatedly. The whole gospel is am opportunity to be saved from our sins, which most reject, but don't have to. God gave us freewill to choose.

Did you read the whole chapter of the verse you shared 1 Corinthians 15?

Look at verse 2: another "if..." conditional statement. If you "keep in memory" and have not believed in vain.

verses 12-17 talks about false teachings, how people like to make up stuff which misses the whole purpose of the gospel.

verse 19 "If in this life only we have hope in Christ."

Keyword "hope". We have hope in Him, and hope for eternal life. We haven't been judged yet. This is why Christ gives us hope. Most do not have hope and will go to hell. This should deeply concern people. Jesus warned us over and over about this. So many verses, so many parables.

verse 25- all enemies will be under his feet. If someone only cherry picks the one verse 22 and ignores this one may be tempted to draw the false conclusion that all are in Christ, but this verse only 3 verses later makes it clear that no, not 100% of everyone is "in Christ" but enemies

In Romans 10:4 to me it never means to say that when Jesus died the laws died with him. I believe we should all be abiding by the laws of Moses and Abraham. Also we need to honor the ten commandments and really study what God is telling us to do and how to live a happy spiritual life. Such as so many people have strayed away from honoring God on the true Sabbath day that the vatican doctrine has changed from saturday to sunday, and how to push pagan holidays upon people. We all need to start reading and finding out the truth!

Thank you brother for those further thoughts; I will re-consider them. Though I know that when I get to Scriptures such as 1 Corinthians 14:14, "For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful", I simply can't re-interpret it in any other way, except to read that Paul speaks of praying in a language he didn't know. And why? Because his "understanding (of it) was unfruitful"; it seems he had no idea what he was praying, except that his prayer was directed to God in & by the Spirit. Anyway, I will continue to consider what you have shared. Every blessing.

Christ's atonement covers ALL that will accept Him... as the Bible very blatantly says so.

WOW! you just said God uses propaganda to "scare us" and that His salvation "threats" don't make sense.. You're literally calling God a liar.

Again.... damnable heresy!!

Also, I should mention I do not believe in eternal conscious torment. I believe in Conditional Immortality. The Bible teaches Conditional Immortality very thoroughly. The Bible teaches both that we are MORTAL, and that the ONLY way to live forever is by trusting in Jesus.

Plenty of verses describe Annihilationism (Conditionalism). Malachi Chapter 4 sums it up best. It says those that will die in their sins will be burnt up and "left neither root nor branch". It goes on to say they will be "ashes under the soles of your feet".

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him shall not PERISH, but have everlasting life."

That verse sums it up best.

You're using Moses and the thief on the cross as an example that everyone will go to God's Kingdom?? The thief went to be with Jesus because He both witnessed and believed in Jesus. He literally called Jesus Lord. Moses is with the Lord because God made him His servant and he went on to be an excellent servant.

My friend, I'm sorry but Universalism is just extremely ignorant and it's not just a heresy, but a damnable heresy.

If everyone went to heaven, then Hell (Sheol) wouldn't exist. The Lake of Fire wouldn't exist. The Bible very clearly talks about people going to both Hell, and the Lake of Fire. You really need to get away from false teachers and study your Bible more.

We're at verse 9 and soon 10. "Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you" -- afflicted? I can only think of one thing and that's the poke -- even "churches" get money to encourage it. If you haven't watched Mike Lindells news channel about the poke you should. -- In short the poke is designed to kill you over time, if not immediately -- it can also cause miscarriages among other horrible things. There is an archive.

It is unrelated to the previous paragraph: The one about a week ago with the Ukrainian-born Jew was rather amazing too

My father who is in his 70s never though he'd see these days.

"For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places." -- the previous verse describes from 2001 to recent times -- "earthquakes in divers places" -- meaning earthquakes far underwater which have happened and have caused huge tsunamis. Just recently even a volcano exploded and could be seen clearly from space, including the pressure wave(the explosion which is too loud and doesn't cause sound but a boom).

Christ has clearly said all of this in order of what will happen.

Please pray that I get a good work from home job that I can do. One that have great benefits and a great schedule. Also for my family's salvation, protections and health including mental. Also for the prayer request on this page. In Jesus name. Amen!

Reading the book of Kings, I would like to know concerning Kings 1:21 verse 29 if Calamity was brought upon King

Ahab's son because of the sin of his father. Also, if King Ahab's son had repented as his father had would he also

and his house have been spared. I believe bc our God is so merciful his son would have been spared had he lived

a righteous life before God.

Thank you for feedback.

Actually, do you have a question or comment about my Bible?

Hi Larry

i believe you will find your answer in the book of Revelation chapter 3:15-17 in the Lord's address to the church of the Laodiceans:

"I know your works, that you ate neither cold, nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. So, then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, i will vomit you out of my mouth. But because, you say, 'I am rich, having become wealthy, and have need of nothing'-- and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked-"

God bless life in the mighty name of Jesus Christ amen.

This prayer request if for my brother in law MR. RAMEL SIAOTONG . My brother has been very helpful to my family and his wife is my biological sister . Right now they are the ones who ran my poultry farm back home in philippines and I am not worried because the LORD has declared healing today and forever . I commit everything to almighty for favors and healing in my family . Thank you LORD !

Praise the LORD almighty . All these year I had never experience this amazing feeling of excitement with GOD . Challenges was on me all this years believing that I can do it on my own but I was very wrong . I am the head of the family and being the bread winner I choose to stay away from them for nearly 18 years working abroad . All I want is to provide for my parents and siblings . It is never easy and most of the time I would always say things anyhow to them to the point of even employing words when i argue with them with those help I gave them . Being away from my family for so many many years was truely never easy and I feel like my connection with them is only about the help i am providing them financially . We fight emotionally , they were hurt , I got hurt and never will I think of them everyday every after exchanges via chat because they will always receive the words I tell them without any remorse from my end . They were hurt but because I provide and help them they choose not to respond . Thinking that what if I was in their shoe like how am i going to go thru it . I know it is never easy as well for them to accept . I became so entitled of how i want to them to look at the help i was giving them all this years but the LORD is really great . The lord spoke to me to open up my heart once again with them . The love that the Lord is sharing with me is so awesome , promising and very reassuring . Because of GODS enormous kind of kindest love , he made me to realize so many things - that as his son by flesh he created me to bless people with kind words , my family to receive my blessings unconditionally , that by flesh his wisdom share to me is my greatest opportunity to stand again , to be great again , to be who i want to be , to be someone who only get approval from him. I thank the LORD for what it is and how he has challenged me - challenge my faith . The unbounded joy is so wow - like it is no other after YOU SPOKE YOUR WORDS BEFORE ME , PRAISE THE LORD !

Giannis, I don't think you have come to the FULL TRUTH of the workings of the FIRST RESURRECTION.

YOU DIED and CHRIST BECAME the NEW INNER MAN.

1 John 3:9 Whosoever is BORN OF GOD doeth not commit sin; for HIS SEED (God's SEED is CHRIST) REMAINETH in him (the one born again), and he (the one born again) CANNOT SIN, because he (died and) is BORN OF GOD.

Believing Jesus came in the flesh and died for our sins, and being BORN AGAIN are two different things.

This comes back to those that said Lord, DID WE NOT, and the Lord said, NO you did't, I DID, depart I never knew you, ye workers of iniquity.

Colossians 1:27 ....this MYSTERY ....CHRIST IN YOU ........

Philippians 2:13 For it is GOD that WORKETH IN YOU (because you are dead) both TO WILL (not your will, because you are dead) and TO DO HIS GOOD PLEASURE (not your good pleasure, because you are dead).

GbU

Please pray for a brother, Chris, for more brotherly fellowship. For personal

encouragement and support, in Jesus name. Alleluia. Amen.

In KJ, Exodus 12:5 "ye shall take from the sheep, or from the goats:"

Why was a goat allowed to be sacrificed and not a sheep only?

Thanks,

Dan

Lets talk about Sabbath first.

Many things from the OT are not valid now Sacrifices, offerings, commandments, holy days etc have no place in NT. One of them is Sabbath.

See Colossians 2:16. Here apostole Paul says to Colosians that no man can judge them because they didn't follow OT's practises, including (pay attention) Sabbath as some Jewish christians claimed. Paul dismisses this idea.

Christians soon chose the first day of the week for their formal congregation during which they "broke bread" that is take the Body and Blood of Jesus Crist or as some churches name it have Holly Communion, see Acts 20:7,

Also in 1 Corinthians 11:20 Paul talks about Lord's Super, (but the greek text says Lord's Day super "Kyriako deipno") . Lord's Day is how early Christians called Sunday. Early Christians had the Holly Communion during a super just as Jesus did with His Disciples. This practice was abandoned sometime during the 2nd century AD and the Holly Communion was transferred from the church's super to the formal Sunday service.

Also see 1 Corinthians 16:2 Paul says to Christians in Corinth to gather money on Lord's Day.

Also in Revelation 1:10 apostole John talks about Lord's Day

So the formal day for christians at the time that the apostles lived was Sunday,. Sabbath has nothing to do with us now Many other verses that i cannot remember now verify that the Sunday and not Sabbath was the formal day for early christians.

You can find all those things in books about the history of church.

Now as far as commandments are concerned to be honest i have no idea what the Catholic church has done.

God bless you.

Please Lord Jesus Christ bring peace to Leah in her marriage to this non believer. Please Holy Spirit enriched her with Your Spiritual fruits that she can have clarity to finding Bible scriptures for comfort. All things are possible through Jesus Christ as I pray this foothold by the devil be released from Leah's husband. Please open his spiritual eyes to see Your Light God from the darkness around him in Jesus Christ name I pray !!

Please consider reflecting on 2 Timothy 2:1, Psalms 41, Psalms 46, John 10:10, John 16:33.

What was Nazarite

Good morning Carleton,

So glad your trip up here was so pleasant.

Glad you could gather with your friends.

It is always good to gather with other believers in person.

Where is luke warm for christians located in the King James Bible?

It is a sin Miria -- where did you read that it was not sinful? Mishael indicates that in his last two paragraphs.

To understand as well why did God strike him dead aligned with everything already written above? God commissioned the generations of Judah and there was to be a child with Onan. But Onan did this to spite God. Further judgement with Judah as he withheld his youngest son and was to be seduced by Tamar.

Overall too (the bigger picture of this), Judah was there to first suggest Joseph to be sold to the Egyptians. He was not the sole brother responsible but spoke the idea and troubled their father Jacob (Israel). Right after Joseph's abduction, we're not told the judgements of the other brethren. But we're told of Judah's specifically because of the wickedness that was in his heart. So was Judah judged as well as his children.

We are the Body of Jesus Christ.

His heart to overflow with compassion. An uplifting word when one is needed. To come alongside in a difficulty. A ride to Church. A "hi how are ya" at the grocery store.

This age in society people sorta shut out the community.

I know people who are so insulated at home, it's tragic.

I'm an evangelist and everybody I run into are gonna get some "SON shine" on them :D

It takes so very little emotional investment to have a moment to share, a good word, a little testimony, an invite to sit with me at churchI'll be the one with a red shirt. Jesus routinely loved on the little children in the Bible. To me that's an encouragement to do the same.

Jesus is lookin' for FollowersI will make you fishers of men/women/children

Go ye into your neighborhood. Amen.

Mishael
