Roswitha That's your privilege but it does say unto the Church of God which are the ones born again saved by Jesus christ, In the beginning of the epistle. In His Service

I am sorry but I do not understand it that way. I still believe that that verse was directed to the jews, not the saved

who is reading the bible

Verse 4-The raging sea is no match for the Almighty God. This is one way that we see the great power God has.

Hi Rodd I am not approaching this as a hot topic but apparently your angry, if I may are you attempting to say that Jesus Christ wasn't as He Himself said I am sent to the Lost Sheep of the House of Israel. Also the Wise men came to see Him who was Born King of the Jews. In His own Hometown of Galilee He couldn't do a lot of miracles because of there unbelief, that's a whole different discussion. I will not say that all The Tribe of Israel believed but they knew and were taught that the messiah was going to come out of Israel the people chosen of God out of the line of people who believed I.E. Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, David and so on. This being said I don't understand your conclusion. In His Service

Verse 4-There may be billions of stars or more but Jehovah God calls each of them by name.

Verse 6-Jehovah God has created even the heavens of the heavens and this awe inspiring fact even brings the angels to bow down to him in worship.

Verse 6-We never want to forget when God answers our prayers. We want to thank him and this can give us the confidence to continue to go to him in prayer.

Verse 11-Jehovah God's commandments are not too difficult. When we develop deep love for God and rely on him for help, we can obey his commandments.

Verse 5-Just as Jehovah God brought destruction on the wicked back in the day of Noah, He will again bring destruction on the wicked in our day.

Romans 10:9-13. Know as "The Roman Road". Prayers to you. Praise you. God bless.

Verse 4-Jehovah God gave the time of just 7 days until the Flood would come. Noah and his family had to do the tasks they had been assigned just as they were outlined and they had to do so with urgency.

Verses 38 and 39-Jesus here referred to the Flood as an actual historical event and even likens the time we are living in to the days of Noah.

Verse 32-We must keep obeying God's commandments and we can do so because God gives us the confidence or courage if we rely on him.

I needto yield so much into christ

Verse 44-Nobody can come to Jesus unless God draws that person.

A very deep truth

Are the days believed to be 24 hour days as we know them or are the days longer periods of time? What support is there for either belief?

Brother Spencer,

Thank you for sharing that Great Scripture with us. May we learn to be humble and forever thankful to God.

1 Thessalonians 5:18

"In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you."

God Bless.

How do you explain the Godhead?

The Scriptures about the Godhead. Sometimes called "Let Us..." in some passages. These scriptures are evidence of all 3 persons of the Godhead speaking to each other.

Genesis 1:26, 3:22, 11:7

Isaiah 6:8

Romans 1:20

Colossians 2:9

Acts 17:27-30

1 John 5:7

John 10:30

"For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and GODHEAD so that they are without excuse:"

Genesis 1:1

The Father purposes

The Word (Jesus) speaks. ( John 1:1)

The Spirit (Holy Spirit) executes the spoken word. Action.

All working together. Jesus came to show us the Father, as Emmanuel.

Matthew 1:23

Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.

Jesus came to bring to each born again believer; the baptism and the in-dwelling of the Holy Spirit.

[ Genesis 1:2, John 3:6, Acts 2:1-3, John 16: 7-15]

To REFUSE this knowledge, is to reject the Son of God, and his provision.

Thank you Rodd .

Comments by Alex about the Israel of God which is the multiplication of God via the seed of the Sower, the Seed of Christ the Son thus there has to be a GRANSON ,an Israel of God,Which is the H.G. the Child of Promise. Just as Abraham was multiplied as the sands of the seas After he offered up Isaac,And God swore by himself when he made that Promise that Christ wd me multiplied as the stars of heaven,thus the sower and his seed ,the new covenant ( that book in the right hand of the FATHER ) That is gonna result in an Israel of God , Thats y the woman is in travail and birth Pains resulting in an Israel of God, When Isaiah saw the Kingdom coming he says unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given. They don't call him the bridegroom for nothin , there is gonna be an Israel of God that is gonna be born in us sinners that are born from above the Child of PROMISE ,THE MULTIPLICATION OF Christ in US. There is a baby Christ in our future, The Child is the H.G. that Child of Promise making the Godhead Father Son and Granson .Thats y GOD says his Name is Abraham Issac and Jacob which was FATHER SON and GRANSON that will result in an Israel of God, THAT WAS THE GREAT PROMISE THAT CHRIST WD BE MULTIPLIED AS THE STARS OF HEAVEN thus the Gransons resulting in an Israel of God, Christ is not impotent he has a seed to sow in humanity thus there is a baby Christ in our future, The Granson ,A lil one shall be come a 1000 and a small one a strong nation I THE LORD WILL HASTEN IT IN ITS TIME. God told Moses that his name was Abraham Isaac Jacob thus there has to be an Israel of God which is the multiplication of very God thats y Jesus is saying to whom the word ( his seed ) came it made them them Gods and the scripture cannot be broken , Thus the multiplication of God cannot be refuted, its God that wants a posterity, thus an Israel of God. Christ is the Father of the H.G. THE GRANSON IS THE H.G. Thats y jesus is saying whosoever receiveth one such CHILD in my Name receiveth ME

please keep myself and daughters in your prayers

Stranger things have happened before, brother Leonard. With the Apocryphal books already in the 1611 KJV as well as in some other Bibles, I think that the status quo with the KJV might continue. But who can tell what could happen.

Sir, The question was asked a week ago regarding John ch 8 v 58:- when JESUS says : "Before Abraham was, I AM".

This verse is usually brought up when discussing the trinity doctrine.......but that is because the text is misunderstood...... NOT of its context....but of the speaker of it !!! ( John ch 1 is also misunderstood.)

This pure lack of Biblical knowledge ( Amos ch 8 vs 11-12 ?? ) has confused - and deflected church teaching through out the world.

The Bible is clear....JESUS is NOT claiming to be the "I AM " And the explanation is given in Deuteronomy ch 18 vs 15, 18 and verse 19 : (or John ch 1 v 18 JESUS will "DECLARE" the FATHER) which simply state that GOD will send His "Chosen One" (My Elect.) Is. ch 42 v 1 chosen from "amongst thee" ie. "of THY brethren" ACTS ch 2 v 22 says:- "Jesus of Nazareth, a MAN approved of GOD " -- who would speak GOD's WORDS ..! JESUS agrees/admits this in eg John ch 12 vs 49-50 and in John ch 14 and John ch 17 !!!!

JESUS SPEAKS FOR HIS FATHER, ALMIGHTY GOD....who begot JESUS. So much for a trinity ..( man's invention !!!) GOD IS "ONE" !!!! CREATOR ALONE ! ( even church creeds get that bit right !! ) rodd.

Sir, Who does the Bible say is ISRAEL ? The wide world church seems to claim that Jews are ISRAEL. Then we must ask who the JEWS are ! In John ch 8 JESUS Himself reveals the answer to us.....which does NOT agree with church thinking !!

So I ask:- JESUS came for the lost sheep of ISRAEL. The 10 tribes of ISRAEL were exiled to Assyria and never returned. (They are still "lost" - but some do know who and where they are today ! ) The 2 tribes of JUDAH were exiled to Babylon......and returned, found their land ( then renamed JUDAEA) was occupied...so ( whilst some initially aided in the rebuilding of the walls and Temple of Jerusalem) the 2 tribes of JUDAH made their home in Galilee....NOT a part of JUDAEA. ( Luke ch 2 v 4 ).

In JESUS' day...that was the status quo.

So, getting near my question ! :- JESUS stayed out of JUDAEA for "fear of the Jews". (John ch 7 v 1 ) They could not be Israelites as all 12 tribes were accounted for and JESUS did not find them. Matt ch 10 ! So ...who were the JEWS? The Jews know ! AND JESUS reveals the answer to us !...but the churches teach that they were ISRAEL !! The JEWS said in Matt ch 27 v 25 :- "His blood be on us and on our children." To say, therefore, ...as churches do say...that JESUS was a Jew CANNOT and IS NOT right !! What say you ?

(JESUS, ((during His ministry ))- despite what preachers surmise, - is recorded as only entering JUDAEA on 4 occasions...each at Passover time. His teaching was almost all done in Galilee. )

It seems to me that "truth" is very absent in the church...indeed, in the world !!!

This is a sensitive subject, I hope it will be treated as such, thank you. rodd.

Thank you brother Rick. I fully agree with your comments - may we remain sensitive & obedient to the Spirit in every area of our lives.

Hi Thos. As others have stated, the teaching on Purgatory is largely a Roman Catholic one & is generally based on the Apocryphal Book, 2 Maccabees 12:38-45. The story there is about some Jews who were slain in battle but had unholy things in their possession & this was seen by the other Jews, making them unclean. To deal with this, the people had to remove this sight from their thoughts & that a large amount of silver was to be sent to Jerusalem as a sin offering for those sinners who died. This was done to guarantee them the right to the resurrection. And verse 44 also speaks about prayers being offered for the dead, that there would still be reconciliation for them & deliverance from sin.

This portion of 2 Maccabees is what the RCs use to support Purgatory, a intermediate place where outstanding sins can be atoned for coupled with the prayers from the living & gifts to the Church. However, the Bible totally refutes & rejects such an abomination, as we are all given only one life on Earth & one Saviour to call upon for the forgiveness of our sins. If we fail to do this, then there is no intermediate place of purification - only Hell where all unforgiven sinners are consigned. Hebrews 9:27: "And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment" (no second chances - no purgatory). How important it is for each one to take hold of the Truth & run to the Cross of Jesus for salvation & not trusting in man's wisdom & works to get there.

Hello Jorge. That's very interesting - I have never heard this before, that it was the Apostle John whom Paul was referring to in 2 Corinthians 12:2-4.

If that's the case then Paul was stating that John was known by him (which he probably was) & that John had this heavenly vision (in Revelation) about the early 40s AD. However, John was not exiled to Patmos till much later (in the 90s AD) probably under orders of Emporer Domitian (who was ruling at that time). If these dates are correct then it seems impossible for Paul to speak of John having these visions when they hadn't occurred as yet.

As well, how do you understand 2 Corinthians 12:5-7, where Paul writes about 'glorying' (boasting)? Is he then speaking about boasting in John's revelations & in case his boasting got out of hand, a "thorn in the flesh" was given him to keep him humble? It seems incredible that poor Paul would be so afflicted for the likelihood of his boasting of someone else's revelations. Yet, the clear understanding of the 2 Corinthians passage is to the Apostle Paul himself. If perchance he was speaking of another, how could Paul glory in that revelation, since the words of that revelation could not be revealed (v4); if nothing revealed, then where is the glorying? Sorry for all these questions - your comments have me perplexed.
