While a comforting thought, that repeated phrase doesn't appear that way in the Bible. Paul didn't say that 100% of the time, when 100% of all people die, that instantly you are absent from the body and 100% of the time immediately with the Lord. Paul said he would 'rather' be present with the Lord. That doesn't mean everyone goes to be with the Lord and that doesn't mean that everyone is absent from their body upon death and won't wait for Jesus to return, and won't face any judgment. Matthew 12:36, 2 Corinthians 5:10, Revelation 20:11-15 - People are all judged on the same day. God bless...
and my refuge, is in God.
JESUS loves you and so do I have a blessed and prosperous day.
The Flood was 1656 years from the creation of Adam. Noah first entered the ark on day 17th of the second month and left the ark on day 27th of the second month the following year. So, they were on the Ark for 370 days, this would be 1657 years 2 months from the creation of Adam. The B.C. date will range from 2300-3000 B.C. for the flood depending on what records you research. The Jewish year for 2021 is 5782 so if you go with that, it was the year 2104 B.C. when the Ark landed on the mountain.
Have you ever thought about the dove bringing back an olive leaf to Noah?
God bless,

Everyone be safe out there today continue the work of KING JESUS inspiring soul leading them to CHRIST.
The Law was given only to Israel & coupled with sacrifices, were to point them to God's Mercy upon them. At Jesus' crucifixion, the Law which only brought condemnation & death was annulled, as Christ ushered in the New Covenant in His Blood. Hebrews 7:7-13, where the old has gone & the new has come in, where the Law is now written in their hearts & minds ( Jeremiah 31:31-34). And Paul takes this up in Romans 8:1-4: "There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit." The Decalogue could never give this ability & freedom to fully obey God in all respects.
Therefore, I don't believe that the apostles or the Church were instructed to obey the Ten Commandments, that which was given under the Old Covenant & only brought death. Under the New Covenant, the indwelling Spirit instructs us to all of God's requirements for us & enables us to be alert to them & keep them.
And finally to your other point, those who say they have faith & continue to "live in worldly sin" are fooling themselves with spurious faith - none with the Holy Spirit can live that way, bringing shame to our Lord. Blessings.
Brother Dan, I have not responded to this particular post from you, as I believe my other comment to you answers your questions: "What is your definition of strict obedience of the law? Is trying our best to adhere to God's 10 commandments too strict?"
If we make any appeal to the Ten Commandments for righteous living, then the Cross of Christ will have no effect to the earnest soul. As the apostle wrote, "For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me. Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good." ( Romans 7:11,12).
What is this Commandment that he speaks of? All the Law that God had brought forth to His people, which included the Decalogue. What was the purpose of those Holy Laws? Romans 7:13: "Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good; that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful".
God's Laws not only revealed to Israel what He required of them, but that they might learn how sinful they can be & how their inability to obey the Law can separate them from a Holy God. As the apostle stated, that Law brought the prospect of death to him, finally slaying him. But only in Christ he could find release & the ability to obey God correctly.

For God
So loved
The World
That invitation is for whosoever will accept it.
Status, Gender, nor anything else can keep you from becoming a child of God. The God of Moses, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
All other gods are vain.
Receive Jesus and so begins a wonderful walk with the Savior.
Begin your studies in the book of John; read also (near the back) 1-2-3 John. Then back to the Gospels to see what Jesus is like, what he says, does.
Receive the Holy Spirit as your teacher. Just ask in your own words.

Also not found in the Bible is that only people of a certain height or above will be saved, or people of a certain eye color, or only people living in a certain country. The current culture loves to label, segregate, divide, and lump people groups together, despite one's actions having zero correlation to another. We're all individuals 100% responsible for our own actions and will be judged by God individually. God bless.
And remember this, you may be in a age of 26 or 86 today. And tomorrow you dont know. Not me eghter, if i live or if i am dead. Or stay on earth, or speak, or breath, or eat.
Philemon 1. 6 That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.
7 For we have great joy and consolation in thy love, because the bowels of the saints are refreshed by thee, brother.
8 Wherefore, though I might be much bold in Christ to enjoin thee that which is convenient,
9 Yet for love's sake I rather beseech thee, being such an one as Paul the aged, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ
And please read rest of the letter.
When the time come you know! Do you have time to discuss with Jesus then u think? All christian ppl do not have a long term, for anything. That is a gift from God Him self, becouse on earth we are a wery little time compared to eternity, dont u think? I dont know what tomorrow bring. What is important are if you have taken His call. That is my opinion. So Thank Jesus in all things and He bring you home, love to see u there!
Revelation 5. 12 Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.
The most important thing to do is to confess, high and loudly, example my word's.
1 Kings 8. 33 When thy people Israel be smitten down before the enemy, because they have sinned against thee, and shall turn again to thee, and confess thy name, and pray, and make supplication unto thee in this house:
34 Then hear thou in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy people Israel, and bring them again unto the land which thou gavest unto their fathers.
Hebrews 10. 23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)
Hebrew 4. 14 Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.
More Matthew 10. 32 Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.
Baptism are a hot question, some people now that they will get the Holy Ghost if they do, and some ppl do baptism and to have a good conscience, we have a promise,
Acts 2. 38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. And Jesus baptised ppl too in
John 3. 25 Then there arose a question between some of John's disciples and the Jews about purifying.
26 And they came unto John, and said unto him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond Jordan, to whom thou barest witness, behold, the same baptizeth, and all men come to him.
my thinking is Why did Jesus that? If it's not important?
God bless you with understanding in Jesus name. The Word will set you free.
It's hard for most people to choose what is right when there are drastic stakes, as Dietrich Bonhoeffer did, when their life is at stake. Jesus even commented on marriage, not a topic he covered greatly, and what he had to say left the Apostles saying that it is better not to marry. Christ's response to that was, "Not all are able to accept, this (truth)." And indeed, the first thing most Pastors do is usually, to marry, and take care of those help meet needs, while few choose the actual path of Paul. It is a difficult thing to do, indeed, impossible w/o the Holy Spirit leading one to it, and sustaining that life.
In all things, God knows that we are from & return to dust, and in life we are no different, except that we think too highly of the self. Given form with a mind, we are, corrupting from within. So, I believe it is good to take any preached absolute, & remember that no one is perfect except for Christ, and the skilled disciplinarian will fall more often than they believe that they do, so better to have the grace of Jesus, the desire & Grace that the Father expressed in Ezk: 18 for all who sin, and a most uplifting proclamation of God's great mercy, in Psalm 103.
That we 'do', is not not nearly as important as that we are inclined, to do good and justice, and all that God desires of us. It shows that we are reborn, turning away from the love of sin in our hearts, which God alone can see, a change which He alone can manifest, and though while we dip and rise into and away from sins we find difficult to keep at bay, the flesh which is weak fails, but the spirit will always be brought back to repentance again, turning away, not so much from the act, but from the love, of that sin.
It's God alone who sees His own as they will soon be, He sees & speaks all truth, forgives our dusty clouds, while men & women are bent to hold each other to higher standards.
Obeying the world system, will eventually produce the Mark of the Beast. If we don't get the mark, we will starve.
TAKING THE MARK for the sake of eating food, automatically assigns a DEATH SENTENCE upon us, and our soul.
When we become aware of THE DEATH SENTENCE, we must REPENT and turn away from that temptation.
The 10 commandments, and the 2 new Commandments Jesus gave to us: carry death sentences if we disobey even just one of them.
Almost everyone tells lies routinely. That makes us guilty. It may seem harmless, but it's backed up with a death sentence.
Thank God that Jesus Christ came to earth to be THE LAMB OF GOD. He took all of our sins: known, unknown or forgotten, and was viciously CRUCIFIED in our place. He was sinless.
Is that worthy of praise? May we be mindful that Someone had to be put to death for our sins. There is no such thing as big sins or little sins.
GOD CANNOT LOOK UPON SIN. Without Jesus we are doomed. We cannot have fellowship with God. He will not listen to our prayers if we walk in unforgiveness against those who hurt us.
If we will choose God, we will be so wrapped up and tied up WITHIN HIS LOVE AND THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF JESUS CHRIST, we will know the meaning of true happiness and joy in our lives now. We will never fear what death does to us. Our FOREVER HOME is with our Savior and Lord.
Testimony: when I found out how bad sinning is, I was standing on top of a chair looking into a vision of hell's gaping jaws in my kitchen floor. Twisted roots, screams. But Jesus held out his hand towards me. I was petrified but I took it!!
I was saved and delivered. Changed and filled with the Holy Spirit. He taught me to be free every day of my life. His Love makes us strong. Unconfessed sin separates us.
