Babs, this is because the original people to mass produce the bible were white. And yes, technically Jewish people are white. The difference is that Jews tend to have darker features/different culture and dress differently than your regular Caucasian. But we know that the scribes changed things in the bible. Many races are loudly missing from the bible. So don't focus on race. Yahweh loves us all.

Debbie, I offer you words of encouragement and prayer. Debbie God promised to lead the blind and in a straight path that they had not walked before along aside calm waters that they had not known. He also can heal in this lifetime as when he made a paste from the dirt of the earth and placed it over the eyes of the blind man to heal him. So right now Yahweh, I am asking you to step in on my behalf, and heal Debbie's child. Also may you open the lips of her grandson so that he will not be a mute. And we cannot forget about this pandemic. We ask that you spread your miracle working power across the world and allow this pandemic to come to an end. I ask this in the name of our Lord and savior, Lord Jesus Christ

Hi Rick , I honestly don't mean to be arguementative with you . Have you read the account of Saul and David's relationship ? I will give you one example , I could give you lots of others but this one will do I think : 1st Samuel Ch16 v14 . There are loads of others like this all over the Old Testament . I believe that God is Sovereign over all His creation . The only thing that opposes Him is us , sinfull flesh , when we give in to our own lusts and serve our flesh rather than serving Him . Jesus says that we must deny ourselves , sacrifice ourselves , fast if you like , stop serving our own fleshly desires , deny our lusts , don't do what our flesh craves us to do , don't serve our sinfull flesh serve God . This is what Jesus did , he denied his own desires completely , never married , no children , he denied his own desires all day every day . None of us do that . We serve ourselves . We serve our own desires , our own flesh . The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak . The serpent represents sinfull flesh , it's that which Moses lifted up in the desert and Christ compares himself to it , sinfull flesh crucified , though of course Christ never sinned so the wages of sin cannot be applied to him because he didn't earn them . We do . Every day . We choose . God already knows us and the choices we will make before we are even born .

Charmain, I pray that you become strong in your faith, moving neither to the right nor left, but having your hope stayed on Christ. I ask this in the name of Jesus.

The text about faith in Christ is not true to the Greek which is plain to read in the original language. reads, "By the faith of Christ. Nestle, 1904, Westcott and Hort 1881, Scrivener's 1894, Tischendorf, 8th Edition 1872, and many others are clear in translating this verse the same. It is inaccurate and misleading to use a translation that promotes the faith of a believer in place of the faith of Christ. This error is also found in the translation of Galatians 2:20 "And the life I now live by faith in Jesu Christ." This last phrase, by faith in Christ can only mean one thing, it means, I am living my life in Christ by my faith. By THE faith OF Jesu Christ, I now live the life of total surrender by the faith of Christ. Therefore, I do not march and grow toward victory, I now live in Christ in victory. I approach our Father through the faith of Christ. He is our Advocate and Mediator before the Father. Of Him alone did God say, "With Him, I am well pleased." We please the Father when we come to Him in the faith of Christ. Example, A father puts money in a bank for his son. The money is under the son's name. He does not have the money himself but he has access to it from anywhere in the world. In a similar way, the faith we need to save us is not within us. It is found at the right hand of God and we draw on it "in Jesus name." Acts 3:16: "And his name through faith in his name hath made this man strong, whom ye see and know: yea, the faith which is by him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all."

This faith Of Christ takes us to complete dependence on Him through His faith. He offers the secret of Christian victory over the flesh, the world and the devil, His own faith, for us.

Dear Sister Sasha,

After previously hearing that word flummoxed, I was really going to try to avoid this thread at all cost!

But, I really enjoyed your post so much, and I couldn't resist to say that some of us have cents, and others of us have common sense, and you have gobs of the later!

God Bless You!

Earl With all due respect that contradicts Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, also Ephesians 2:2 also 1 John 4:1-3 how many times is spirit mentioned. Spirit of truth and spirit of error cannot come from same source. That's my conclusion to this matter God bless.

Blessed are they that make the LORD their strength.

Covering the head , or hair is not anything that one has to do it is simply keeping Christ in your mind,.. an yes , it's just that simple

Peace

You are absolutely right,.. it has nothing to do with hair , or wearing a cover on your head , it means , keeping Christ in your mind !!! It's just that simple,..

peace

Brother Alex, I believe Satan is FLESH and God is SPIRIT and they are at war with each other.

Thank God SPIRIT HAS WON.

Thank you

Global warming is an excuse for Governments and secret societies to track & monitor people. Computers record everything. The wise thing to do is trust Jesus to save you from the End of Days.

2 PETER CHAPTER 3

10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent HEAT, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be BURNED UP.

11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,

12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the FAY OF GOD, wherein the heavens being on FIRE shall be dissolved, and the elements shall MELT WITH FERVENT HEAT?

13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless. (See BORN AGAIN in John 3)

15 And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;

16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.

17 Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.

18 But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

See also: Isaiah 51:6, Revelation 21:1

Timing of Jesus's Return is any time now.

God is going to restore the earth to like it was in the Garden of Eden. No scars, no pollution, no sin; no Satan, no demons; all extinct animals and creatures will be returned.

Be born again now. Don't procrastinate!

M.

SATAN is used by God, for God's will.

1 Chronicles 21:1 And SATAN stood up against Israel and provoked David to number Israel.

2 Samuel 23:1 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and he (the LORD) MOVED (through Satan) David to number Israel.

Philippians 2:13 For it is God that worketh in you (in his creation, including Satan) both TO WILL and TO DO his good pleasure.

God is SOVEREIGN, nothing happens without GOD CAUSING IT TO HAPPEN.

Brother Kevin,

Very well said, Amen!!!

It's where we place our trust. Are we trusting in the one who has saved us and told us He will keep us by His power until the day of redemption? Or, are we trusting in ourselves to keep ourselves saved? I know who I'm trusting!!!

Genesis has to be read slower. God created everything necessary for all creatures and man to be able to eat herbs, grass, nectar, meats, etc. Every creature right down to a snail or smaller, had exactly the perfect food.

Romans 14:2

For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth HERBS.

Romans 14:15

But if thy brother be grieved with thy meat, now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died.

Romans 14:17

For the kingdom of God is NOT meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.

1 Corinthians 10:31

Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.

Colossians 2:16

Let NO man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:

1 Timothy 1: 1-4

Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the LATTER TIMES, some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of DEVILS

2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;

3 FORBIDDING to marry, and COMMANDING to ABSTAIN from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.

4 For every creature of God is good, and NOTHING to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:

See, everything God made is good for us. In an agricultural society, people are very active and work off extra calories.

Not so much now in high-Tech society. If we eat too many calories, it stretches the stomach and the ribs and we walk leaning backwards.

My only comment is: I pray the Lord's Prayer over my food faithfully, because of things like covid and flu, ecoli, wisteria etc. I'm not paranoid; I just want to enjoy mealtimes. :D

His Sacha In the book of Genesis who does God blame for the downfall, Adam blamed God and said the woman God gave him God went to the woman and she said the serpent then God said to the serpent because thou hast done this. God knew who did it. Granted Adam and Eve gave in but if it were not for the adversaries I.E. the serpents influence I.E. temp tation deception lie, then the reason for the sin wouldn't be there. Also according to James 1:13 God can't be tempted neither tempt He any man. So we are the product of an action influenced by Gods arch enemy originally.

Amen Brother Jesse.

And Paul is talking to "The Church "

Galatians 3:28. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.

1 Corinthians 11:16. But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God.

God bless.

Precious friend, I agree, if we, The Body of Christ, are not going to agree on the so-called "First Step" which MOST believe is 'water' baptism, then it seems to me to be a moot point to discuss/solve the other 'divisions' of evangelizing, tongues, end times, etc., correct?

ONE Baptism:

Thus, seems to me, Very Little 'unity' now, but COMPLETE unity when Jesus "Gathers us all Into Glory!" Amen?

today I rededicated my life to Jesus Christ. I look forward to my Journey .. I'M Proud to say Jesus is my Lord and savior.

His giving, his grace and his mercy shall be with us always. Just let him in.

There are 2 ppl that are involved in our Salvation . 1 is our old adamic nature WHICH IS IN RANK WITH SATAN that is made white at repentence but he answers to the Dog that returns to his vomit . But if we have a relationship with Jesus, We hear his voice, his words that results in a birth of a New INNERMAN which is the H.G. That Child of Promise ,Whosoever receives one such child in MY NAME receives me,Thus that Christ in us cannot sin simply b/c he is born of God But we have to KNOW him, for the newman to be born in US. My little Children in whom i travail in birth till Christ is formed in you, My sheep hear my voice and they shall neva be plucked outa of my Hand And my Father that gave them to me is greater then ALL and no man is able to pluck them outta of my FATHERS HAND. Remember Jesus said if the branches bring forth no fruit they wheither and die thats what happens to us if we are not truly bornagain bringing forth no fruit unto God i.e. we have to know him thats when the good seed is sown in our hearts....Remember Jesus refered to Peter as satan one time b/f he was bornagain. We are involved in a warfare but there is no condemnation to them in Christ Jesus . Unless ya receive the Kingdom of God as a lil Child which is that Child of PROMISE, The H.G. you will in no wise Enter there in . But we have to know him ( Faith comes by hearing his words his seeds ) Hannah prayed for lil Samuel to be born, We need to pray for the H.G to be born in us . (the GIFT) That which is born of the spirit is spirit thats the H.G. That Wants to be born in Us.

What is explained in the Bible was for Jewish women, and descendants of Abraham; I would think.

Thank you for your reply. According to the verses, a woman's hair is her glory; and if she is not covering her glory before god, then she is shamed and should have her head shaved.

It is quite confusing to me, unless it is taken literally, but I can't believe that this can be so, although Muslin women keep their heads covered all the time, so maybe this is the way we are supposed to conduct ourselves.

Nevertheless, verse 16 indicates that if we are in disagreement with this, we are not bound to follow it, as it is not God's law..............is this correct?

Precious friend, Carolyn, Great Question "How do you handle spiritual warfare besides praying and fasting?"

1) study Prayerfully and Carefully, God's Word Of Truth, Rightly Divided 2 Timothy 2:15, rule #2, in God's Bible "study" Rules: Link

2) Then "put on the FULL armour of God, stand, and make known the Mystery Of The Gospel Of The GRACE of God!" Ephesians 6:10-20

Precious Carolyn, Please Be Richly Encouraged, Enlightened, Exhorted, and Edified!

( 2 Timothy 2:15; Romans 16:25; Ephesians 1:3-9; Ephesians 3:9 = Grace/Mystery fellowship {Romans - Philemon}, For ALL "to SEE," today,? )

1 John 4:12

NO man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.

The Holy Spirit is SPIRIT.

Jesus's skin color at birth would look like Mary's DNA contribution.

As with anyone, people who are exposed to sun too much have darker skin, than their normal skin color.

Another verse says that no man may look upon God and live.

No offense, but I feel people spend way too much time contemplating skin colors.

I'm a life long observer of skin/hair colors. Early in life I was an artist for a time. God formed us. Our hair color is the perfect color for skin tone. When people dye their hair, it never complements the skin color. Our skin has pigments in it, like paint; but somewhat luminescent.

For me, I can't see any beauty in tattoos. Art is for canvas & other mediums. It's a pity to think we can improve on what God made.

Skin color used to be beautiful, but now it's political. Maranatha! Come Lord Jesus.

It's simple without a relationship with God you can't attack certain powers of demonic presence and you can't have a relationship with that fasting and prayer God needs to know your commitment is real are we gonna give a person a loaded gun without trusting their ability to handle it. He wants to know us to the core and our commitment to him. I do a podcast to help mental health issues called let's get busy, and it's about relationship with God and my prayer closet experiences

Precious friend, Michael, Great Question! "Is once saved always saved Biblically correct"?

1) Since God Said 'Eternal' Life, then God's Eternal Salvation is Biblically Correct; IF man is able to Change it to 'temporary/conditional' life, then it is incorrect

2) Since Christ's Blood Is ALL-Sufficient, then God's Eternal Salvation is Biblically Correct; IF man 'needs to ADD' Any conditions to "The Already COMPLETE 'Payment'," then it is incorrect

3) Since God Is 100% Correct, then men's "Changes And Additions" are ZERO percent correct Deuteronomy 4:2, Deuteronomy 12:32; Revelation 22:18,19

4) "good works" are Not for life, But are for reward, once we, The Body Of Christ, have "entered into God's Guaranteed 'Eternal' Life" at our Glorification, and "stand At The Judgment Seat Of Christ!" 1 Corinthians 3:6-15 cp "carnal saint" in 1 Corinthians 5:1-5

Connie on Ephesians 3

3:18 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ

What does the Bible teach about the Holy Trinity.

The Bible teaches that the Father is God, that Jesus is God, and that the Holy Spirit is God.

The Trinity is a concept that is impossible for any human being to fully understand, let alone explain. God is infinitely greater than we are; therefore, we should not expect to be able to fully understand Him.

Love to you Brother Dan, I am happy that we can encourage each other!
