please say a prayer that any ligament damage that medical staff did will heal completely with no complications for a relative and that the surgeon would be able to do an amazing job in repairing the whole injury in Jesus Name! please pray for surgery for this relative to happen very soon so any damage can heal and repair sooner rather than later. Dear Father God I ask for your mercy in this situation, and your Sovereign overruling of human error. please Father show your incredible mercy and grant this relative the best surgeon and divine intervention for your glory, in Jesus Name, amen.

Thanks Chris for your perspective, but you said: From here on, Paul teaches what the Galatians should be embracing, i.e. Justification by Faith alone & nothing else. Could you explain the "Faith alone and nothing else" perhaps? I ask cause other scriptures go against that - James 2:17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. James 2:24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only. James 2:26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

I can have faith - faith in the unseen, such as Christ or God, and faith that my sins will be forgiven through Christ as he is the advocate, but I should still adhere to the commandments (works) such as worshipping other gods before God, not killing, not stealing, not bearing false witness, and I thought keeping the sabbath as in going to church on Sunday?

What makes me a "Gentile" by the way? If I am a Gentile and not under a law and just have faith, I should be able to go out here and kill and rob and commit fornication thus all manner of wickedness with no problem......but I do have faith though. Perhaps Paul is talking about distinctions in the over law itself cause doing none of any law, man or Gods, just does not seem accurate.

Lastly, You use the word Jewish a few times but when I put this word in the search on this website, I only find it one time: Titus 1:14 Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth. A fable is a make believe thing. I'm not saying a Jew is make believe as I have found "Jew" is short for Judah and Judah is the head tribe of the lost tribes of Israel. It's confusing, cause you say "Jewish convert" and to be Jewish is a race of people as said in the media but how can I convert to be Jewish? By changing my race? I'm just curious on all of this and the new testament and will continue to study.

It wasn't the Jesuits who changed the Sabbath.

Sabbath was the last day of the Jewish week (ours Saturday) and it was a Holly day for Jews. They were not permitted to do any work during that day.

The early church soon try to figure out which day to use for the Holly Communion, that is taking the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ. The church rejected Sabbath, which for christians is just an ordinary day, because they didn't want to mix up Jedaism with Christianity so the selected the next day to Sabbath, the first day of the jewish week which they called it the '"Day of the Lord" and had the Holly Communion at that day. Unfortunately the english speaking nations as well as the germanic ones kept the roman names of the days of the week. Thus in english Sunday, in german Sontag which is day of sun, Monday, german Montag day of moon. That is not the case though in other languages that kept the initial names of the days. So that change was done at the very begging of Christianity. The very first mention of this day in Gospel is in Revelation 1:8. by apostle John.

As far as flat earth with dome, that was what the ancient people believed. We now know that earth is spherical and that dome is now called atmosphere.

God bless you.

Hello Virginia,

While the Jesuits have done much damage to Christianity, they did not change the Sabbath. Christians do not have to celebrate a Sabbath. Christ is our Sabbath rest! There is a good website with a book about this: biblebasedministries.co.uk

That being said, a day of rest & for the Lord is excellent!

Also, John Doerr, and Lamp in the Dark have good teaching videos on Youtube, as well as a channel called 'Rescuing the Church.'

The Earth is a globe, it is not flat. Now I definitely don't trust all of what NASA puts out, but the Earth is a globe. Google 'himawari-8' this is a Japanese satellite that sends photos daily, an image of Earth every 10 minutes.

Dear curious in simple words the story goes like this:

God gave His Law to Moeses who gave that law to Israeletes to obey it. That law which is the one that is mentioned in Paul's letter to Galatians is what we call the Old Testament.

Jesus Chist when came to earth cancelled that law which had provisions of animal sacrifices in Solomon's temple and many other things.

Instead Jesus established what we call the New testament. Now if you want to find out what the Old and New Testaments are about you have to study those things, they can't be explained in a few lines of words.

Soon the ancient church faced a problem. Jews that believed to Jesus tried to mix the old traditions and practises of the Old Testament with the new teachings that Jesus Christ tought. So the church of Galatia faced a problem of that kind when some gentile christians drifted towards those false teachings by some Jews who traveled there and Paul wrote a letter to solve the problem that was creared there.

That letter, epistle, is a good example of the differences between the two Testaments but you have to do a lot of other reading to understand it.

Welcome to Jesus Christ.

So true, Marke

Thank you Alex, you said this well. Have a good day.

Hello Christian. If you read Genesis chapter 2, you will find the account you are seeking.

Wwll stated brother Chris!

God bless you.

Good morning Roy,

I am not really sure of your question to me, but I think you are seeking knowledge about heaven and what it will be like for us believers. I am glad that you have the hope of heaven in you and so it awaits you and I when we die.

The Scriptures does not describe our heavenly existence in much detail, probably for good reason on God's part.

But Jesus said that He was going to prepare a place for us in John 14:2. He says that in our resurrection, our bodies will be reunited with our souls and spirit, but in a glorified way whereby our we will be immortal and incorruptible. So sin will no longer be found in us and we will live forever with God ( 1 Corinthians 15:35-58; 1 Thessalonians 4:17)

In heaven we will be completely satisfied with God has in store for us there. Our existence will be glorious, wanting for no good thing. We will not be solitary or alone, but have eternal fellowship with other believers and with God in Jesus Christ. We will see Jesus, and thus, since the Father and the Spirit dwell in Him, we will see God and worship Him in Spirit and in Truth.

Dear Ongoing Struggle To Stop Abortion on Demand, I am slowly absorbing Planned Parenthood Ethics and Im finding that the public is apathetic and unconcerned. Please, give me any information you have so I can keep my church informed and abreast. Also, know that this information is going to like minded christians in Grand Rapids, MICHIGAN. Thank you.

Hi Mary.

Is there any scripture in the Bible supporting these beliefs?

I don't no where in scripture where there is emphasis on color. The pride of man is the root of racism and division.

Aa for slavery, Yes it is wrong and I have seen some make excuses for it. But as for it along with murder abortion and every other abominable sin the world do will be considered when God judge the quick and the dead.

"IF" Christ is in us we see sin the way he do but the world will continue to do it, approve it, and excuse it.

There's Jews, Gentiles, and the Church in Gods view. And all have to come to come to him by Jesus.

God bless

Why didnt God deny free will with Adam and Eve? We are only made from sand.

Hi.

Can you tell us where you have seen those changes? Thanks

Amen brother Chris & neighbor Curious!

Legalism too is something that borders into this area that Paul addresses as a whole in the books of Galatians. Legalism was hard to shake from the Jews during that time. The "jew-christians (early messianics/Judaizers)," Pharisees, Sadducees and so on all lived under the bondage of the laws. They put others under the bondage of faith by works the same which never saved anyone after Christ shed His Blood for our sins to have Grace by means of Salvation.

To encourage you all neighbors, I lived in this bondage growing up. I was raised roman catholic and was very involved until I was 19-years old. I was even told by a cardinal back then that our lives in service to God are only of good deeds (which he referred moreso of works). They would twist the book of James to no end. James mentions works but the works that James speaks of is the fruit of the Spirit of the born again; not works by means of Salvation. Anyway, I left the catholic church after a divide toward atheism. Long story short, I nearly died when I was 22-years old and the only person willing to help me in the hospital that time was a born again Christian. They shared with me the verses in the Bible (which I'd never read back then) how to be saved. It took a lot of resistance but God broke through in October 3rd, 2010. My encouragement to you all is that we ought to praise Christ Jesus for dying for our sins, giving up His free Grace, washing us from our sins, His mercy, His Holy Spirit, His Holy Word (KJV in English in my case) and the great promises He gives to the elect including Eternal Life after this. Amen!

God bless you both and I'll see you someday when I lay my burdens down. Amen!

What happened to the passages inGenesis where God made Eve from a rib of Adam's? Instead I now read that God made manand womanat the same time without mentioning God making Eve from Adam's rib? Who changed this, why, and when?

I think so too Roman , but it's always good to admit to ourselves that we could be wrong . I've just read that Putin is threatening to cut off the gas that he supplies to a lot of European countries , tomorrow . The European press is saying that he's being missinformed by his military but I think the west is softening us up to make him sound not so bad , so that they can agree terms with him . No , he's not really a bad guy with the largest proliferation of nuclear weapons , he's being mislead , we need his gas , let's make peace . Time will tell . Let's not be too scared though , Christ is coming .

Hi Chris

In Luke 1 Mary is told she would conceive in her womb.

Luke 1:31 And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.

That indicated to me that the birth of the Lord Jesus Christ was similar to all births.

The difference was that it happened because the Holy Spirit planted the seed of God into Mary.

The seed of God impregnated the seed of the women producing the Lord Jesus Christ.

His birth was the same as all babies born of women. How each and everyone of us are born.

Jesus is before Abraham ( John 8:58) but is that physically or in Gods mind?

Consider Genesis 3:15 the seed of the women.

Gen 3:15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.

This is the seed of the women. This is a future event. It hasn't happened yet.

This is long before Abraham is even mentioned. Before Abraham was, I am.

The character of Jesus is mention in the time of Adam and Eve. Right at the beginning of the world.

Jesus is before all others in scripture but he wasn't physically formed until his conception and his birth by Mary.

He was in Gods mind right from the creation of the earth in the time of Adam and Eve.

God will and does say things exist even of they don't at this moment.

When God says things will happen then be sure they will.

It does not mean they are physically there now. Rest assured they will happen but in Gods good time.

Rom 4:17 (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.

Isa 46:9-10 Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me,

Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:

I'm out of space.

Thanks

My grandma used to say to me ; if the world loves you , then you are doing something wrong . It took me a long time to understand that but I do now . Much love in Christ.

If ya wanna be a voice in the wilderness like John the Baptist you are gonna be persecuted...Jesus always preached count the Cost its gonna cost ya everything...Them that live Godly in Christ Jesus shall be persecuted...Paul said i have suffered the loss of all thing and do but count them but dung that i might win Christ etc...Alex

I know that the jesuits changed the sabbath day is the sabbath supposed to be Saturday as Jews celebrate? Also do we live on a flat earth with dome?

Nothing cannot separate me from God amen!! God I'd die in your glory thank you Lord!!! Lord where would I be without you hallelujah!!!!!!!!!!!

The Lord shall shout ,the 7 trumpets shall be heard across the nations. The moon shall no longer give light, for He shall lighten all nations, all the world! Then shall they glorify His power as they see his light, as it shines out of the west. They shall say confess that Zion and its gates shall not be prevailed against, for He has brought Her out of trouble. He has gone forward and bares not the sword in vain! These who will die will die in the sin and blood that He alone shall execute, leaving only the stain of the winepress that He alone shall trod. The stain He alone shall we see as His tunic shall be! Wake up all people of Zion the daughter of His only beloved ! Your redemption has arrived! Repent and be Baptized

I love reading Psalms 91 every morning, Thank You for Blessing me to further understand the meaning.

This one of my favorite verse, I read this when the devil comes against me and I stumble

I meant to say Jeremiah 51 not Isaiah 51....Need some coffee

As before so again God is always turning over evil until the good rises up.Praise God for his righteousness.Judges others would judge Israel when they did not follow God now because of corruption other countries follow the UN.The science,the doctors,the children.Me and my house will follow God.
