The ONLY way to understand God's word is for him to TEACH YOU.
The word of God and the HOLY SPIRIT is all you need.
1 John 2:27
Never cease asking for him to GIVE you the FULLNESS of the SPIRIT.
I have no one to pray with me. To agree with me in prayer. So I'm asking you. Please.
Some choose to ignore God's word and do their own thing and seek to fill their desires away from God and some learn the hard way and deeply regret their decision at some point. We're called to love everyone so it's always Biblical to love someone of a different faith. But this verse says not to be 'yoked' with unbelievers which I interpret as a relationship such as marriage. So, it's doing you a favor by informing you of this pitfall in advance. It's my personal opinion that catholics teach, believe in and practice falsehoods, because Jesus said no one comes to the Father but through him ( John 14:6). Catholics ignore this and have a pope instead. Some bow before him, pray to him, have graven images of him, worship him. Some also chant, bow down to graven images (idols) of Mary, and worship her. This violates the first 2 of the 10 commandments. There's more, but any one of these practices are major departures from God's word.
And just a tip for you, if you touch the Scriptures they will open up and you will not have to go anywhere else to read them. Just touch them with your finger! I didn't know that at first so I was leaving this page and going into the search field to look the Scriptures up. It's a neat little feature of this site which is really awesome.
God bless you tonight and keep you and set His Angels around you and give you peace and heal you!
Brother Kevin, Christ is reigning NOW, the kingdom of God came when Christ was RESURRECTED, so, YES, the earth is being populated during his REIGN. His reign want end until he has SUBDUED all things to himself ( 1 Corinthians 15:25-28). In this AGE he is only CHOOSING and CAUSING the ones to be priest ( Revelation 5:10) in his kingdom to BELIEVE ( Philippians 1:29). The feast of the weeks is the shadow in the Old Testament, the wheat and rye were harvested first (it was only a small portion of the crop that would be harvested that year). You see references to wheat in Christ parables (we are the WHEAT).
When the second resurrection has happened, all the inhabitants of the world from Adam to the resurrection of the dead, will be raised back into their terrestrial flesh. They are going to be judged and brought to truth. It appears from some of the prophets words that this judgement could last a long time. Man may once again live in terrestrial flesh to be hundreds of years old, So, yes, the earth could be repopulating during this AGE. In the Old testament the feast of the tabernacles was when the remainder of the harvest was brought IN (after the WHEAT was harvested). We are the WHEAT (first resurrection) those in the second resurrection are the remaining harvest, to be harvested in the feast of the in gathering or feast of the tabernacles.
Zechariah 14:4 And his (Christ) feet shall stand in that day (Day of the Lord) on the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half the mountain shall move toward the north, and half the mountain toward the south.
This prophecy ALSO must be spiritually discerned.
When Christ in his ministry stood on the mount of Olives, this became reality, but the mountain and valley are, SIGNIFIED, and not not literal. Mountains and valleys and hills are often SIGNIFIED as PEOPLE
Page 2
Psalms 114:4 The mountains (people) skip like rams, and the little hills (people) as lambs.
Isaiah 55:12 ...the mountains (people) and the hills (people) shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees (people) of the field shall clap their hands.
Half (not literally half, but signified) of the people will move to the north (not literally north, but signified). God in this AGE is not saving everyone, so some will be vessels of HONOUR and SOME vessels of DISHONOUR ( Romans 9:21).
Also, are there problems or complications if I, a Christian loves a Catholic.
There are two King Agrippas seen in the Bible, both part of the Herod family, however, six Herods are revealed to us in the New Testament; the Herods were Idumeans/Edomites.
King Herod Agrippa I was a grandson of Herod the Great; he ruled over Judea and Samaria. Agrippa I is the "King Herod" who killed James and imprisoned Peter ( Acts 12:1-3).
The son of Agrippa I was King Herod Agrippa II, & was also known as Julius Marcus Agrippa; he was the brother of Bernice and Drusilla and heard Paul's defence of the gospel in Acts 26. Agrippa II had quite a lot of power in Jewish religious affairs, for he had been given custodianship of the temple and the authority to appoint the high priest. So, the Agrippa you read of in Acts chapter 26, is King Agrippa II. Hope that answers your question.

"Let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works, and praise your father which is in heaven." Matt. 5:16
This is not an option, it is a command from Christ to true Believers.
Perhaps more reading of the Bible would correctly redirect your love and respect unto God.
Have you been born again by God thru Christ?
If you do not, then we can only conclude the error is nothing more than churchy sounding aphorisms being mindlessly put forth "in faith," for some reason. Remember, citing insufficient "service to God" is itself a mindless accusation made by those trained to be Professional Church Talkers. Make sense, Pastor?

These are the scriptures that the Lord put on my heart as I was praying for you. I added you to my personal prayer wall here at home.
I believe The Lord is doing some thing great for you! I don't know exactly what it is, He didn't tell me :-) But please be encouraged He's very near you! Please repost your prayer request every few days. So that it is visible to all those who pray.
Ecclesiastes 3:11 ....also he (GOD) has set the world (materialism) in their heart ....
Philippians 2:13 For it is God who worketh in you (in man) both to will and to do his good pleasure.

When you are studying, it is of necessity to make sure you are assigning the pronouns their correct personage.
Often it helps to write the verse or verses and replace the pronoun with the noun they represent. I have taken chapters and done this, often getting half way through the chapter and find the noun I was using does't fit, having to go back (repent) and correct my understanding of that pronoun. The scriptures CANNOT disagree with themselves. Much of the WORD is hidden in parables and metaphors, often the word being used has different meaning (signifies something else) than what one would defined in a dictionary. The physical mind pictures things that are physical, the Spirit guiding you causes your mind to see the hidden meaning. In the Old Testament God lived in THE CLOUD that covered the tabernacle; was inside the Holy of Hollies. If that being the shadow then the TRUE (that casting the shadow) would now be MAN (the true TEMPLE OF GOD), being COVERED by God; and MAN now being the Holy Of Hollies, were God dwells. Our physical mind pictures heaven as a physical place with huge mansions and gates of pearls and streets of gold, but the hidden meaning cannot be physically seen so the Spirit has to cause you to see. A GLORIFIED BODY does't need a physical house, or streets or gates. Heaven then becomes SIGNIFIED
Acts 1:9 And when HE (CHRIST) had spoken these things, while they (the disciples with him) beheld, he (Christ) was taken up; and a cloud (the new TEMPLE, MAN Colossians 1:27) received him (Christ now in the glorified body as the Holy Spirit) out of their (disciples) sight.
Acts 1:10 And while they (disciples with him) looked steadfastly into (physical) heaven (the disciple had not yet been given the Holy Spirit to understand Christ ascended INTO MAN) as he went up, behold two men (messengers of God in glorified bodies Hebrews 13:2) stood by them in white apparel;

Acts 1:11 Which (two Angels; glorified messengers) also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing into heaven (they could only see heaven as the blue sky above them)? this same Jesus, which is taken up into heaven (INTO MAN), shall so come in like manner (IN MAN) as ye have seen him go into heaven (INTO MAN).
Revelation 1:7 Behold he (Christ) cometh (at the resurrection of the DEAD) with the CLOUDS (the SAINTS clothed in CHRIST), and every eye shall see him (because there will be millions of Saints that are the IMAGE OF CHRIST), and they also which pierced him (in Christ appearance to Thomas he bore the marks of the cross in his glorified flesh, the word doesn't say; but since we were crucified with him we could also bear the marks of the cross, for all the world to see): and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.
Revelation 9:16 And the number of the army of the horseman (not literal, but the Saints) were two hundred thousand thousand (not literally that exact number, signified) .....
Revelation 20:7 An when the thousand years (not literal, but signified, the Day of the Lord or the AGE of Grace or the AGE of those CHOSEN to be PRIEST, CHOOSEN to be covered by the blood of the LAMB and DEATH PASSED OVER THEM.) are expired, Satan (terrestrial flesh, those resurrected back to judgement) shall be loosed out of his prison (DEATH AND THE GRAVE).
Matthew 5:25 ....and thou shalt be cast into PRISON (DEATH AND THE GRAVE).
The wages on sin (UNBELIEF, all other sins are COVERED BY THE BLOOD) IS DEATH (and the GRAVE).
