Amen Brother Rick!

Glory to God

Brother Rick, may CHRIST IN US grace us with his wisdom and his understanding.

You said: what's interesting when it came to rescuing Lot and his daughters is they were basically grabbed by the angels and dragged out (of Sodom and Gomorrah) ......

Christ is the ANGEL OF THE LORD, so all other angels would be in his image, both body and mind ( 1 Corinthians 15:49).

This same thing happens today:

John 12:32 And I, if I be lifted up (on the cross) from the earth, I will draw (drag) ALL MEN to me.

We go about life; but at God's appointed time we are stopped in our tracks, and God drags us out of BABYLON.

John 15:16 You have not chosen me, but I have CHOSEN YOU.

Paul was going about his daily life, killing Christians, God stopped him and dragged him out (Paul did't choose, God chose).

ALL MEN; a few, in this age, and the rest after this age and the next age, WILL BE DRAGGED out of Babylon TO CHRIST.

1 Timothy 4:10 ....who is the saviour of ALL MEN (even the ones that don't believe in this age), SPECIALLY those that BELIEVE (in this age).

Dear Mishael , that's the best advice ever . When I start to get a bit sad or irritated by the things going on in my own life or in the world around me I remember the awesome promises that have been made to each and every one of us . That little white stone with my new name on it . You will get one too . How beautiful is that going to be . We mustn't let the awful things of this life drag our hearts down , we don't belong here and we are not stopping here . We are on our way to an amazing new world . A world without fear or loneliness or hunger or oppression or ignorance . It can't come soon enough as far as I'm concerned . Looking forward to meeting you and everyone else from this site . Joy to the world . Love to you all .

Amen Brother Chris!

Rick , thanks for your post . I've always thought that Lots wife is a lesson to us , we have been saved and separated from the general population , we should be very thankful and not look back at this world and the things of it , to see what we might be missing . We must keep going in the direction that God wants us to be going and keeping our eyes on the prize . May God bring us all very much closer to Him every day .

Ask a prayer for my family as prepared for me a job and to pass this driving test on the 12th I pray God that you give me more understanding and wisdom I want prayer for my whole family

Gideon did not obey God's word was that because he was scared and so he repented and got asked God to save Israel and God said it was so how old was getting in at the time when he was talking to the Lord and he asked the Lord to give him another chance

Sister Gigi, I responded because God Spirit, working in us TO WILL and TO DO ( Philippians 2:13), caused me to respond, so God's will must be for you to go deeper into his truths that hasn't been revealed to you yet. God never stops revealing truths (himself) to us.

how faith works

Hi Fred What we do know scripturally is His body could disappear and reappear in the gospel of John 20:19-29 we know he could just appear and later on with Thomas he was able to be physically touched, also in mark 16:12 he appeared in another form, so this body had remarkable capabilities so to speak beyond sense knowledge. A few times they did not know who he was road to Emmaus, wouldn't you like to have heard that teaching!

For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.

Does this mean if we do not have the law, we can't be held to it?

So if I never had the chance to read the bible or had some one tell me their is a God, am I going to be judged differently?

is this what Romans chap5 verse 13 means?

No one today can commit the unpardonable sin. According to the Bible, the only action God will not pardon is blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, committed by the Pharisees. The Jewish religious leaders were shown compelling evidence that Jesus was God's Son. But they chose to undermine Him in hopes of maintaining their own power. After witnessing Christ's miracles, the Pharisees blasphemed by claiming His supernatural power was from Satan. In Matthew 12:22-32, Jesus responds to their sin by warning that whoever spoke this way against the Holy Spirit wouldn't be forgiven.

People today don't have the undeniable physical presence of Jesus Christ in the world. So they can't recreate the Pharisees' sinful event. But it's still possible to end up in an unpardonable state. This happens when a person rejects the Holy Spirit's call to salvation and holy living, and then dies in a condition of unbelief.

The stages leading to an unpardonable state are simple. An unbeliever chooses to sin, even though he knows it's wrong. He resists the Holy Spirit's gentle prompts toward conviction and salvation. Over many years, this hardens his heart against God. A time comes when the Holy Spirit makes no impression. Any desire for the Lord has dried up. No sermon or song can move him. His heart is hardened to the Gospel.

No sin can separate you from God's love. Only a conscious decision to reject the Lord can result in your spending an eternity apart from Him. Don't wait another minute to receive His offer of salvation.

That was so sad to read GiGi about your sisters. I've not had much experience in dealing with those who have homosexual tendencies, though from what I've observed, there has usually been some tragedy that they have faced, or an environment that caused them to be drawn to those of the same gender, or even a very strong continuous grooming to that end, with experimentation. I would even think that facing rejection or abuse might cause one to 'turn', but I couldn't conceive that one born into this world normally & given a good balanced love-filled life, would one day decide to turn to the other gender. I can't even envisage that this would be a matter of choice such as in choosing what clothes to wear tomorrow, rather of some turmoil in the life that has caused one's affections to go in such manner. But I've never studied this, so my comments are simply my own & to be taken as such. Though it's remarkable that all three of your older siblings have gone that way - there maybe a common thread in there somewhere.

But if we are continually faced with worldly offerings & our peers or the majority voice are readily accepting them, then it would take a very strong character with godly principles to withstand or even giving them any concession. And with the majority who might ridicule the resistant one, the pressure & pain becomes even worse. Praise God for His Word which reveals His Mind & so we know that our stand against evil has His affirmation, which gives us boldness & confidence.

Best way to see it is to Google:

Jesus Geneology From King David LIST

It's the 2nd or 3rd link. Wiki is a chart

Based on books of Mark and Luke

Homosexuality is spiritual in nature nobody is born that way and it is not genetic this is a lie of the world I know of a few believers that got delivered from that stuff. Something to always keep in mind we wrestle not against flesh and blood Ephesians 6:12 it is always spiritual in nature also 2 Corinthians 4:18.

In John 6:40, 44, Jesus says twice, 'I will raise him up at the last day.'

Many Christians believe that when they pass away they will go to heaven. But Jesus spoke about our being prepared, because He didn't know when the last day would be. And here He speaks, 'I will .. at the last day'.

Myself, believing in the power of context, and mans obsessive ability to twist Scripture to fit what he wants to believe; it has me stumped.

I've spoken with several, who believe Scripture, but it's out of context to the Word. What is either before or after what they believe is God's Word, for them, is not what is said, in context.

Satan's mastery of my Father's Word, and his ability to twist everything to our liking is stoopifying. And guiding a Christian, to maybe look at it again, only brings his wrath, which is so far out of line with the Bible, a 'tilted-head, What?', becomes an automatic response.

Do not be misled, He says.

So, which which is which?

Dead and prepared? Or, dead and gone?

Romans 12.13 Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality.

And remember Romans 12.20 Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.

Dear brother Fred. "Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is." ( 1 John 3:2). I believe we shall see our Lord in the Body that He left the Earth in: as the Son of Man glorified & Whose Body was prepared for Heaven. As we too shall be changed, in the twinkling of an eye, to be outfitted for Heaven. As He is, so shall we be.

And 1 Corinthians 15:49-53, where "flesh & blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God", but when the change comes at the last trump, this corrupt flesh must put on incorrupt flesh & prepared for Heaven, that we might "bear the image of the heavenly".

And brother, nice to see you back here.

Hi Betty. The Pharaoh seen in Genesis chapter 39 onwards cannot be correctly identified. Assuming the years that Joseph was there in Egypt, first with Potiphar, then the Pharaoh appeared to be Sesostris III (1878-1843 BC). He has also been referred to as Senwosret III.

The Pharaoh (first mentioned in Exodus 1:8) & seen again in Exodus chapter 3 onwards, also cannot be verified. Either he was Amenhotep I (1546-1525 BC) or Thutmoses I (1525-1508 BC). So, to answer your question, it was definitely a different Pharaoh in Moses' day to the one Joseph knew. And of course, there were many Pharaohs in-between, at least ten pharaohs.

Hello Geraldine. Revelation 12:3,4 is the passage generally attributed to Satan drawing out "a third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth". Also see Revelation 12:7-9.

Indeed, all nations are a melting pot of diverse nationalities, languages & beliefs; that even Islamic nations are only so because of a predominance of Muslim population & governance.

From my observation when in ministry in Pakistan, most Christians (like many of us in the West: some strong, some nominal in faith), will almost never share the Gospel with their Muslim neighbours or consider going into public places to reach them. With the nature of Islam, & specifically govts. which are increasingly adhering to Sharia Law or aspects of it, reaching out to Muslims or even making ill-considered references to Allah, their prophet, or the Quran, may get them into very hot water. So when we foreigners went into the marketplace (or the girls, door-to-door) to sell/give out literature & share the Gospel, the indigenous Church began to tremble. We were always warned, as the apostle was in Acts 21:10-14, to be very careful or better, to spend more time with 'us' to teach 'us', but it was for that purpose that we were there: to bring Light & Hope to many living in darkness & hopelessness.

As you correctly stated, there are many believers "seeded" within those communities, yet the very poor amongst them already suffer under the Islamic ruling, by not receiving electricity or water for their homes, kept segregated, & being held back from higher education. If we showed the "Life of Jesus" film to them followed by a message, we had to take our own electricity generator & lighting, for they could only depend on sunlight or moonlight to do their work, or homework for the kids. We had a special leading to such folk who always hungered to learn more of the Bible, but we knew that the Church at large also needed feeding. Pastors were present, but often they too needed teaching. So, I relate this to share with you that the Church (in Pakistan at least) needs to be more than just a visible entity but to be "the hands, feet & mouth of Jesus". We were trying to meet that need, D.V.

Will Jesus in second coming be human like in same body or different one

Question is if Jesus wasn't the son of David then why would they go through David son Nathan in Luke genealogy
