All Discussion PAGE 1944

I have a co-worker who belongs to The Church of God and he has been taught the you must be baptized before you can get into Heaven. My belief is that if you confess Jesus as your Lord and Savior and believe that He died and rose again, you will be saved.

After reading your comment, I had to ask myself what purpose would there be in you taking pictures of images of Christ? Please explain how your "comment" edifies anyone other than yourself. Again. What purpose is there in taking pictures of images of Christ? You claim you have taken photos of Him. I could be wrong, but that would make you the only person on this earth that has actual photos of Jesus our Lord.

Manuel marques teixeira on Zephaniah 1

THe expression Gods wrath Day, in Zephaniah, chapter 1 verse 18, raises a very important subject, about the truth and Gods character, because man tend to anthropomorfisize God, despite the bible, that clearly establishes the the primacy of Gods nature, singularity and unic features of Gods character.

The bible also simple forbidens mans jugment, reggarding other man, wich implies not juging God!

Personaly, I dont have questions about Gods wrath Day, because I also know that the essence of Gods character is love, and as parens should do, GOD is warning His sons about Lifes seriousness.

Love implies mercy and justice, otherwise, woul be a blind love. God gives us life and a brain, to obtain not just knowledge, but also wisdom! If parents had just a blind love, woudnt it be be armfull to children? no doubt about that! It would be disastrous to all inteligent beings in the entire Universe, if GOD wast JUST merciful and not Fair.

Thats why GOD is willing to sacrifice Himself, for His Principles, according to His loving imparcial, nature and charecter!

It's written: God was at the cross, hiding His presence in dark clouds.The Bible reveals that and establishis the unity of God in three distint persons! (see genesis 19:24)

Before the Creation of inteligent, thougtfull, and individual minds, He had previously decided to die as a man for, not only man's sake, but also in behalf of the entire Universe.

I rather want suffering a while, than not to come to life.

The process of giving birth can be painful, but I'm thankfull to my mother and GOD for seing the light being alive, than becoming an abortion. It's written tht God is God of the living, and not the dead, as for god those who died in christ, is as if are already alive. The dad in Christ willressurect, to be like the angels of God, living in a Perfect, eternaly Happy earth and Universe.

Thank Dianne for replying to me - I honestly felt that I would get responses but not replies this quickly. I have read parts of the book of Daniel but couldn't really get a clear grasp of its content even when hearing it from other pastors. But reading it from you makes it more clearly understandable. Thank you for you kind reply. Have a great day & a greater weekend. Don't know where you live but I do hope it's not as hot as it is here where I am in NYC. It's so hot here I saw the Satan begging on the street for an air conditioner and a cup of ice. LOL. Hope you got your vaccine shots. I did. Again thanks for your words.

Our Father is so awesome

First thank you for your reply honestly I wasn't expecting any replies this quickly. I didn't mean or say "me" personally that I think tarot card reading because I know tarot card reading is evil. And all this other Psychic stuff. I said numerous other people say this. I've known from birth that contacting the dead or anything close to it is pure evil. One never knows what type of door you're going to open. And yeah I agree there is a huge difference between things of or from God vs one doing things because they think or feel they are a type of God and have Godly type abilities. Which is what many of these witch craft folks think of themselves and hide behind it calling it part of their religion. Which there is no witch craft in religion. And when I threw in the lottery issue I just wanted to clarify why is it that some people win & not others. Because Satan definitely doesn't grant financial gifts of that level especially when those who do win never suffer any hardships. But yeah I read continuously Mat 6:19-21 and yeah I do know what it means. Working for treasures for materialistic or even superficial doesn't not grant one a safe passage to Heaven. But God does want us not to live day by day either. He does want us to be financially happy just not chase after riches we are to chase after him because he is a jealous God and wants and loves for us to be independent towards him and him alone. Money is considered like a type of God for some & many always confuse that with peace & happiness yeah with money you can be happy and peaceful at times but if that's all you're focused on then it turns into an obsession which then leads down so many paths of dangerous effects and affects. Thank you for reaching out to me but there are times I just need a little reminder of why I am here on earth & God still loves me. Again thank you for your insightful words - peace out - stay safe & healthy. Hope you got your vaccine shots.

Matthew 3:14 But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me?

15 And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him.

It is right to follow Jesus and do as he did.

God is my provider protector he's my everything

What's coming is greater then what has been for all the believers in Christ Jesus!!?

please continue to keep myself and daughters Deanna and Jessica and there families in your prayers , please pray for my co workers

Adam Thanks for the input God Bless

The answer to the question is He is almighty God.

Hi Seeker , I think we have had this question before but I don't mind answering it again , please don't be offended , I'm guessing that you haven't read the old testament , it's vital and will help you enormously with your understanding of the New , Jesus knew it and believed it and so did the Israelites or Jews if you prefer . Please read Psalm 22 . The Jews will have known this Psalm and will have recognised that Jesus was quoting from it . It was written by king David very many years before Jesus was born and it is all about Jesus . I believe Jesus quoted it in order to draw attention to the fact that it is all about him so that the Jews around him would recognise that it is all about him . It's a good idea , in my opinion , to read the old testament before you read the New , its up to you but there are so many things in the old that will really help you understand the new faster and easier . May God bless your efforts and don't stop...seeking .

This Commentary is interesting concerning the little Book in Revelation

People's Bible Notes for Revelation 10:11

Re 10:11 Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings. There is portrayed last another consequence of eating the book. To prophesy is not only to foretell future events, but to declare the message of God. This message had been declared once by the apostles, both in person, and by those who preached their words. Apostolic preaching had almost ceased for many ages before the Reformation. John, the representative of the apostolic body, commanded to prophesy, implies a revival of apostolic preaching among all people and nations.

I can't find the comment about Eve having sex with a serpent and giving birth to Cain.

So here's my comment on that:

Eve conversed with a serpent. Anatomically humans cannot mate with snakes.

For the people who come in here and say that:

You are in error.

God performed the first marriage. It says nothing, what you said. Where did you get that ideathe book of shadows?

1 John 4:6

We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of TRUTH, and the spirit of ERROR.

2 Peter 3:17

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.

1 John 4:3

And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

Wesley's Notes for 2 Corinthians 4:4

4:4 The God of this world - What a sublime and horrible description of Satan! He is indeed the god of all that believe not, and works in them with inconceivable energy. Hath blinded - Not only veiled, the eye of their understanding. Illumination - Is properly the reflection or propagation of light, from those who are already enlightened, to others. Who is the image of God - Hence also we may understand how great is the glory of Christ. He that sees the Son, sees the Father in the face of Christ. The Son exactly exhibits the Father to us.

People's Bible Notes for 2 Corinthians 4:4

2Corinthians 4:4 The god of this world. See John 12:31,40 Php 3:19. Satan is called the prince of this world, and the god of this world. Hath blinded the minds of them which believe not. By his devices he blinds the eyes of men so they should not see the light of gospel. The image of God. He who would see God may see him in the face of Christ. See Joh 14:9.

Obviously, I rather prefer suffering, and beeing alive than just not to be. The process of giving birth can be painfull, but Im thankfull to my mother and GOD for being alive, with the possibility of living forever, in a Perfect, eternaly Happy Heath and Universe.

David, some people died in the oceans, sea, ice caves; in deserts, burned up etc.

God knows where all those people are. He's the Creator. This is why the dead in Christ are CAUGHT UP first: to receive their resurrection bodies in the clouds with Jesus :) Next, the living Christians receive their new bodies. We aren't old, arthritic, or sick. Everyone that was cremated will be regathered too.

John 14:16

And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;

John 14:26

But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

John 15:26

But when the Comforter is come, whom I will SEND UNTO YOU from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:

John 16:7

Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.

On the day of Pentecost, the Disciples in the Upper Room, Received the Holy Spirit. ACTS 2. You should read all of that passage. Jesus promised. The Disciples were joyous. The event spilled out into the streets.

The Holy Spirit is given to THOSE who receive Jesus as Savior and Lord. He is the 3rd person of the Godhead! And Jesus by going to the Cross made it possible to be baptized by the Holy Spirit.

When the believers are caught up to the clouds with Jesus, the Holy Spirits ministry on earth after that will be only for those unsaved people that pray for salvation, AND DO NOT TAKE THE MARK OF THE BEAST. (That mark will have GPS tracking)

People you love; tell them how to receive Jesus now.

Mishael

I concur Glenn.

Hi Judy, I'm going to say up front any time we discuss "the tribulation" or the book of Revelations how ever many people you have discussing them that's how many opinions, beliefs, interpretations you are going to have. With that being said let me say if we carefully look around us today I think it's safe to say we are living in tumultuous or "pressing" times which is what tribulation means in the original Grk. form of the word. Will the Holy Ghost be around? If God is (around) or has anything to do with it(pressing times) then yes. Will an individual FEEL that Spirit is another matter altogether. I know the word says in Gen. "that God's spirit will not always strive with man..." now before all you Bible scholars start "stoning" me (I use the term loosely) and shouting "that was Old Test.! God was talking to Noah....!" yes that's true however "as it was in the days of Noah so shall it be when the Son of Man returns", I believe Jesus said that. Suffice it to say I would (personally) not want to be around if and when that happens. Lets live our lives now," walk in the Spirit...." Gal. 5:16 and if ( or when ) tribulation comes I'll have nothing to worry about but if I'm still here when God raptures His church out of here, well I'd be a little worried. Hope this Helped, God Bless.

Thank you Lord for being my rock, my buckler, and shield. Your loving kindness is in the daytime, and your song at night. Though the world and flesh surround me, thou art ever my hope.

Bless the people in Afghanistan, the saints, and all who are calling on you. Make our men and women in authority realize they need your salvation and wisdom to complete the task before the us all. Thank you for blessing, and keeping Jerusalem as your Word dictates. May we all stand fast in you as our Anchor. August 26, 2021

1 Timothy 2 . 11,12

But I suffer not a woman to teach , nor usurp authority over

the man , but to be in silence .

So, that's one long who knows what and one claim that it's an anachronism no longer applicable to the church today.... anyone else want to take a stab at it?

Idk about y'all, but I'd be scared if I was there. I take it when the LORD is angry, you do not want to be the one who made him mad...

Please protect my hole family and always keep us safe from sins and any viruses that come forward always loveus and pray for us amen thank you lord

There is no place in the Bible where Anyone says women can't teach or lead ,.. check your strongs concordance, you'll see that's a miss translation, an simple means that , No one , should chatter while Gods word is being taught

He was teaching, by quoting psalms 22 ,..

Strongly agree !!!

Dear Dianne, your response is a straw man fallacy, because you refuted an argument I didn't make. I shed light on the massive deaths from the experimental covid injection. I didn't say anything bad about the medical field. Are you a doctor? Do you deny that people have been hurt or killed from it? If you agree that even 1 person has been hurt then by definition it is not "safe." But the fact is this injection has killed more just in the partial year it's been available than all other vaccines in the history of the United States.

A typical vaccine trial will be ended if 5-10 people die. But this one more than 14 thousand. They would NOT have died if they didn't take it. They took it because of bullies coercing them to. If my elderly mom took this based on a comment that it was "safe" and died, would anyone apologize? Do all the bullies ever come to realize how many have died as a result of their bullying? Sadly the CDC doesn't even count the deaths as a vaccine death if its 14 days or less after the vaccine- which is when most deaths occur. They will call it an unvaccinated death from covid. There are very dishonest and very evil things happening right now. Also the FDA approved "vaccine" isn't even the one the public is taking. The "approved" one isn't even on the market and are separate "products." This info is direct from the FDA website.

Also all the "covid deaths" the leftist propaganda media brags about isn't even true. The CDC's own website says in fine print that only 5% of those deaths are from covid. 95% of the deaths reported isn't from covid- they are labeling normal deaths from normal causes as covid to fear monger and push the false narrative. God talked about a strong delusion and I've never seen so much delusion in my lifetime. It's horrifying that people are dying because of the lies. But God is a fair judge and I know many people will receive their due punishment for their sins. Everyone should turn their life to Jesus before it's too late.
