Jean, there are only hints to ages of the Apostles and Disciples in the New Testament that I've found in my studies. However the Old Testament mentions ages often. Perhaps it is so we will follow Christ regardless of our ages & not discredit anyone because of age.

Could it be because GOD ALMIGHTY had already spoken about the insignificance or irrelevance of age? Except in determining prophecy?



Jeremiah 1:6 -7

Act 2:17

Joel 2:28

Genesis 18:11 -12

Joshua 14:6 - 15:17

Luke 2:42 -47

Hopefully that is as encouraging to you as it is to me.

I remember once seeing a horse team pulling a large plow up a steep hill with one young horse being crafted to the work but not equally yoked to the plow. This is how it is in the Present Kingdom of Heaven. Jesus is yoked to the fulfillment of the law, it was his burden to bear the work, but the born again believer is now tied to him without the weight of the burden and yet is now part of his work by relationship. We can be trained in this new life of peace by our light yoke to Jesus at the Cross. It is His works and we are his craftsmanship.

Mr. Daubenspeck, I will try my best to answer your question.

I Samuel

I Samuel 2:28

It appears that people rejected GOD, HIS people

I Samuel 2:17

I Samuel 3:14

I Samuel 7:3

I Samuel 8:6-7

Could this have been the prophetic end of the sacrifice to GOD?

I Samuel 8:7-20

Malachi 3:8 -10

Romans 12:1 , Luke 11:42 , Matthew 23:23 ,

Isaiah 58

Hebrews 8:3

Hebrews 9:12

Hebrew 10:6

Hebrews 13:15

Hopefully that helps in your study.

Cee, if you're trying to find out who Jesus is, I like to start with Luke.

If you want to know about the creation of the earth, the flood, beginning : Genesis

If you want to see prophecy forfilled from Old Testament in New Testament Read Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, then: Isaiah 53 , Psalm 22

Hopefully that helps. If you're having a difficulty in understanding, sometimes we have to pray for understanding.

David's call for deliverance from Saul. My salvation is from above. Not from man, or anything else but the Lord Jesus.

v17 "Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing: for God is my defence, and the God of my mercy."

Peace and comfort is a benefit I receive only from you. Let me be content in you. Thank you Lord. Make me to be satisfied only from your hand.

Job 19:25 "For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth:"

Let us all stand firm in the Words of the Lord, the time draws near for our redemption. September 25, 2021

The way you know for sure, that the real Jesus has returned in his much looked forward to 2nd coming,.. is at that time in that instant, if your still alive in the flesh, you instantly loose the flesh an return yourself into your natural spiritual body,.. so point being; as long as you are in the flesh, an someone says Jesus is here ,. ITS A LIE

Sorry,.. miss spelled 2 words , it precedes ( meaning they've already risen to heaven, , an breath ,.. " breath of life " meaning spiritual body

Hi , yes you are mentioning scripture in 1st Thessalonians chapter 4 , in vs 15 , it's points out that we that are alive , an remain alive until the 2nd coming, cannot perceive those who have already passed an rose to either side of heaven , an vs 16 & 17 , tell of those who are alive ( flesh ) when Jesus' 2nd coming arrives , shall step out of the flesh into our original spiritual body's , that word " clouds " in vs 17 is large group of people,. An that word " air " in vs 17 , is Brest of life , spiritual,.. please, check a good King James Bible, an a dr. Strongs concordance,.

Peace

Amen and Amen, Brother Alex: I believe you have quoted this scripture before, but I can't remember so I will quote it again.

Isaiah 59:21 As for me (the Father), this is my (the Father's) covenant with them (creation), saith the Lord (the Father), My (the Father's) SPIRIT (SEED) that is upon thee (the SON, the WORD, the SEED), and the words (SEED) which I (the Father) put in your (the son's) mouth, shall not depart out of thy (the SON'S, the SEED'S) mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy (the SON'S) SEED, nor out of the mouth of thy SEED'S SEED, saith the Lord (the Father), from henceforth and for ever.

GBU

Brother Dan. If I may enter here briefly. I doubt if any one can state that the truths in the Decalogue have no value to those now in Christ. It becomes a matter of how we look at it in relation to the meaning of the Cross & giving of the Holy Spirit to those who believe. If anyone believes that the keeping of the Law is necessary to be saved, or that both the Cross & strict obedience to the Law is required to be saved, then a clear problem exists. Both are in opposition to each other; the Cross demands faith to work - the Law demands total obedience without any deviation from it to work.

Therefore, cleaving to the Cross & cleaving to the Law simply cannot work. The Law will always condemn us & we will fail from God's Grace. And the vice versa is true: God's Grace & the keeping of the Law negates salvation through faith. Romans 8:1-5. There is a Law after the flesh & there is a Law after the Spirit. I believe that whenever we read of believers obeying God's Laws in the NT, it can never refer to the Letter that kills, but to the Laws imputed in our hearts by the Spirit. And His Laws are far greater in volume & personal application than what any Law given to Israel could ever do. If I restrict my obedience to the Decalogue, then I'm subject to it & I remain in my sins without hope of salvation. Every blessing brother.

I have both and use them. I'm sorry you are climbing in another way __ rather than go with Jesus in the: CAUGHT UP IN THE CLOUDS.

Precious friend, I apologize if I was 'vague' about "GRACE Through faith" 'alone.' This ONLY refers to the 'past tense' Of God's ETERNAL Salvation! Hope this 'clears up' any Misunderstanding:

God's Will, Today, Under HIS PURE GRACE? Very Simply, To "know you're going to heaven":

(1) God 'Establishes HIS Eternal Relationship' With those who humbly:

believe, 100% trust, place Total faith, In The LORD JESUS CHRIST, HIS Death {Precious BLOOD}, Burial, And HIS Resurrection, According To The Scriptures! ( 1 Corinthians 15:3-4) ( Ephesians 2:8-9) ( Romans 3-5)

"GRACE Through faith" 'Alone,' In The Merits Of HIS Precious And ALL-Sufficient BLOOD Results:

All sins Forgiven, HIS Eternal Life, And, Peace With God! {This Is Eternal DELIVERANCE From the PENALTY of sin!} ETERNAL 'Justification' First, And, THEN:

(2) The believer SHOULD do "good works" {Which will NEVER EQUAL CHRIST's PAYMENT For the above PENALTY of sin!}, for Which we Are Created In CHRIST JESUS, to perform for HIM, ( Ephesians 2:10), having "been Called into fellowship With HIM!" ( 1 Corinthians 1:9) Amen?:

We "work out 'OUR OWN' salvation" {This SHOULD Be a lifetime of DELIVERANCE From the POWER of sin!} This is OUR 'Personal' sanctification, and Must not be confused with the above "Justification Which ONLY God Can 'Perform!'" Notice the JUDGMENT DAY, Showing

These DIFFERENCES! ( 1 Corinthians 3:7-15):

1Co 3:14 If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.

1Co 3:15 If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: {'personal' sanctification}...

...but he himself Shall Be SAVED {God's JUSTIFICATION}; yet so as by fire.

Yes, 'fooling ourselves' is By "Mixing these TWO" Up saying they are both FOR ETERNAL Life, thus NULLIFYING "The ALL-Sufficient BLOOD" Of The Saviour, JESUS CHRIST! Amen?

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, today?)

Precious friend, are these 'elect' or UNbelievers, who blasphemed? ( Act 7:51-60)?

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

Praying for my fellowship with God and my new job

Ho Brother Dan.

I've gotten the notice on my email from your reply, haven't had time to sit down visit them yet. I love the dialog, I will reach out to you later

Thanks God bless.

The elect,.. are not automatically saved ,.. they are the ones , that help make the evil ones Jesus' footstool, an they have a job to do ,.. an are the only ones able to commit the unpardonable sin ,..

peace

The only thing a father gives to there child most definitely in the womb ,.. is there Blood ,.. all children have there's fathered blood line ,.. DNA , takes care of the rest , as far as looks , eyes , hair color, etc

Start in the Gospels and discover who Jesus is to you, and to others. Be settled in your heart and mind. Do what you know the Bible approves of.

Our Savior is the Son of God, not a politician(s).

Be mild and teachable, to the Holy Spirit. Jesus went to the Cross to bring the Holy Spirit to us as His Teacher. He is the Spirit of Christ. He will explain everything to you. Yield opinions to His Leadership.

Compare everything you hear, to scriptures. We live in a time of MANY VOICES. I've found that the Book of Proverbs gives the best comparisons between Truth and the mouths of fools; wisdom and folly.

We all have free will. God wants us to come to him! We can choose to hear the message or reject it. Thats free will!

Jesus Christ shows us how he dealt with free will, when he was tempted by the devil

Matthew 4:9

9And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. 10Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. 11Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.

Once we are saved, we still retain free will. When we are tempted by Satan (which will happen) will we respond like Jesus did?

Let's hope we do!

God Bless

Brother Leonard, may CHRIST IN US grace us with HIS wisdom and HIS understanding.

John 15:16 You have not chosen me, but I HAVE CHOSEN YOU, and ordained you ...

Philippians 1:29 For unto you it is GIVEN in the behalf of Christ, not ONLY TO BELIEVE on him, but also to suffer (in the flesh) for his (name) sake.

Ephesians 2:10 For we (the pot) are his (the potter's) workmanship, CREATED in Christ JESUS....

Philippians 2:13 For it is GOD (SPIRIT) that WORKETH IN US both TO WILL (his will becomes our will, only truth reveals this; otherwise, we incorrectly believe it is OUR FREE WILL) and TO DO his good pleasure.

Ephesians 1:11 In whom we also have obtained an INHERITANCE, being predestinated according to the PURPOSE of him who WORKETH ALL THINGS after the council of HIS WILL.

Psalms 92:4 For thou, LORD, has made me glad through THY WORK: I will triumph in the WORKS of THY HANDS.

Psalms 92:5 O LORD, how great are THY WORKS! and thy thoughts are very deep.

Psalms 92:6 A brutish man (beast) knoweth not; neither doth a FOOL understand this.

We are ONLY the pot, pots are made to HOLD something. We were made to hold GOD (SPIRIT).

The SPIRIT does ALL THE WORK.

Colossians 1:27 ....this mystery.... CHRIST IN US (the pot) .....

Brother adam, may christ in is grace us with his wisdom and his understanding.

romans 9:18 therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth.

romans 9:19 thou wilt say unto me, why doth he yet find fault (say we sin)? for who hath resisted his will?

no one has resisted his will; therefore, no one has free will.

philippians 2:13 for it is god (spirit) that worketh in you both to will (his will not your free will) and to do his good pleasure.

ephesians 1:11 in whom we also have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him, who worketh all things after the council of his will.

the father is at present calling out; only, the chosen (by his will; those to be priest and judges in the kingdom of god).

obadiah 1:21 and saviours (the elect) shall come upon mount zion to judge the mount of esau (at the resurrection of the dead), and the the kingdom shall be the lord's.

romans 8:19 for the earnest expectation of creation waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of god (the seed of christ, the elect, the chosen, the judges, the saviours).

romans 8:21 for the creature (creation) itself also shall be delivered (through judgement) from the bondage of corruption (flesh) into the liberty of the sons of god.

isaiah 26:9 ......for when thy judgements (at the resurrection of the dead) are in the earth the world will learn righteousness.

proverbs 16:6 by mercy and truth iniquity is purged ......

romans 11:31 even so have these (the vessels of dishonour that god hardened) also not believed, that through your mercy (at the judgement of the dead) they also obtain mercy.

god has a plan for all creation, god's will, will be done.

Delia In regards to the genetics of Jesus Christ the human side was Mary the mother, the father side was God who created sperm in mary and keep in mind in genetics the dominant characteristics are from the male side in the blood line. That's why Jesus christ had sinless blood I.E. Lamb of god which taketh away sin of the world. In leviticus 17: 11 the life of the flesh is in the blood. In Hebrews 2:14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of the flesh and blood he also himself likewise took part [the flesh] of the same that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death that is the devil. Also in Mathew 27:3+4 Then Judas which had betrayed him when he saw that he was condemned repented himself and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the priests and elders. Verse 4 Saying I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood.

Dear Brother Spencer

A few further comments on your specific scripture that you presented.

I originally quoted: Revelation 22:12-14. Your answer is: John 6:28-29. Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? Jesus answered and said unto them, ( This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.)

I will agree with you " that we must believe on him whom he hath sent - Jesus." I believe this scripture! So, if we are to believe in Jesus we should also believe what he is telling us numerous times throughout the bible that we must produce good work and good fruit, and we will ultimately be judged accordingly as in:

Revelation 22:12

"And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.

Do you believe this scripture?

On to your other scripture: Philippians 1:6. Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ: And this. Philippians 2:13. For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.

I believe and agree with the scripture that you quoted in Philippians! God will work within the faithful believer to help to bring about good work/and produce good fruit.

But in the end it is up to the believer who still has "free will" to work toward their salvation by being faithful to Jesus and God's Commandments and by producing the good work that is required throughout scripture.

God Bless.

When that's done then this happens. Philippians 1:6. Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ: And this. Philippians 2:13. For it is God which worketh

Hi Cee , when I first started reading the Bible I just read it straight through from Genesis to Revelation , I did this for a couple of years . The Old Testament is very helpful in explaining many things from the New . Now I read a couple of Old Testament books and the one from the New . Everybody is different but I'm sure all on here would agree that if you have read the Old it will help you understand the New quicker and easier . It's not a race so relax and enjoy it all , hopefully you will be reading it regularly for the rest of your life .

Yes Mary was his Mother but he spoke of another mother as them that hears the Word that good Seed and keeps it which is gonna result in a spritual pregnancy, b/c i have spoken these Words ( his seeds ) sorrows has filled your hearts .when a woman is in travail she has sorrows b/c her hour is come but after the Child is come her sorrows are turned into JOY. The Child is the H.G the child of Promise as that which is born of the spirit is spirit, thats the H.G the Child of Promise.When he breathe on them that was his words his seeds of God the H.G. To whom his words came it made them Gods ( the H.G. ) THEY WERE FILLED WITH THE H.G. ) the very kingdom of God was within them but he had to give them up till the woman is in travail etc as Micah 5 says. And Hosea 6 : 2 after 2 days will he raise us up. And on the 3 rd day shall we live in his sight.. Real Faith is a spritual pregnancy thats y its the substance of things hoped for the evidence of things not seen which is the H.G THAT CHILD OF Promise ( our new birth ) Even in the natural when a woman is PREGNANT she has the substance of things hoped for the evidence of things not seen the HER Child. Hebrews 11:1

Brother Spencer,

I enjoy our dialogue on scripture although we my have differences in the interpretation.

You state: NOW 1 JOHN 2:3-6. This is not the 10 commandments,

I see it clearly as the 10 Commandments.

You state: If so consider Galatians 5:3-4. and if you are under the law you'll need the temple built to do vain sacrifices that could never save.

The 10 commandments DO NOT include the old laws such as circumcision and temple sacrifice.

So in essence you seem to say that you do not believe that you need to follow God's 10 commandments. Is this true? Please consider the following scripture of Jesus coming to judge all of us.

Revelation 22:12-16

And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. 13I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. 14Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city

So, Jesus says:" Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city". Do you believe this scripture?

God Bless.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

BEGOTTEN

If you take away or add to the Bible. Pertaining to scripture I believe you are in danger of hellfire.. How could you pervert the scripture to this extent!! Why is it that so many so-called Christians want to leave out the word begotten in the scripture.

It's because they don't believe that Jesus is the only begotten son of God.

There is only one there can only be one perfect without floor without sin

Jesus Christ was not just a son of God he is the only begotten son of God.

This rendition of the scripture should be removed and the sand from your heart should also be removed if possible

For God so loved the world that he gave his only BEGOTTEN Son!!
