In Numbers 14:1-24 and Joshua 14:6-15, What role does conviction plays in commitment?

Dear "New Heavens and a New Earth,"

I agree with what you are saying. We as believers should be excited about the Lord's return. I personally think it is soon but I am also careful not to set a time frame on His return, or say that we are living in that "generation" now.

If I may share something, in Matthew 24:34, Jesus says, "This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled. There have been people over the years that have taken this verse and said the Lord is coming soon and that they were living in that "generation" time frame. But actually, the word generation itself has no association with years at all unless someone puts the years with it. Many have taken this verse and predicted the time of the rapture or the Lord's return because they took the word generation, associated with years, and it had nothing to do with years.

The word generation means race or kind of people. GENEA is the word and it means race or kind of people. Several years ago, someone once said that generation meant 40 years. And when Jerusalem became a nation in 1948, they figured that 40 years from then that the rapture would happen in 1988. Many others have also made predictions based on taking the word generation and putting years to it.

But GENEA has nothing to do with years. It's a race or kind of people. What Jesus was saying in Matthew 24 is that this race of people (Jews) shall not pass away until all these things be fulfilled. They are His elect. They are His protected people, His chosen people, and He will fulfill His promises to them.

But I do agree with you. We should be hoping and praying for the Lord to come soon. Our world is in a mess right now!

Amen and Amen; Brother Jesse, you comments of truth hit the bullseye dead center.

Brother Jesse,

It great you got it all ironed out.

I had all sorts of trouble yesterday trying to link verses and that was a disaster.

Then I tried to paste and post the verses and posted them backwards "out of order " That's what I get for proof reading AFTER I send.

Was Cain slaying Abel the second sin of man and for this reason was Cain known as the evil seed.

Thanks brother Spencer,

Come to find out from the KJBO staff is that the reason why my post was not going through was because there are certain words that are flagged and the system will reject the post, even before it has a chance to be reviewed by the staff. They never saw my original post and asked if I could reply to the email they sent me with what I had posted. After looking it over, they said it probably rejected it because of the word N#K# (same word as the athletic shoe) was used more than once. It sounded like someone in the past was using this site to advertise a product which is not allowed here. Anyway, I reworded my original post by removing one of the words and it went through.

S Spencer I've lost count of how many times i've heard people say I believe in God my way, always reminds me of 1 Corinthians 2:14, I don't argue I believe in letting the word do the work. I try to do Ephesians 4:13 always working on that one. God bless

D W L... There are examples in the Bible of women who helped the poor and sick (Dorcas, Phebe) just as today there are many women who are "missionary" minded and serve God by helping those who are less fortunate and teaching others about the love of God.

There is not a text that specifically says that women are a female version of a deacon. If I have misled or caused confusion to you please forgive me that was not my intent.

Hi Rob,

My recommendation to you is to go to InTouch.org.

Charles Stanley has many sermons on motivation, strength and of course other topics.

You will be inspired and uplifted in your spirit watching and listening to his teaching.

Best wishes in your new journey.

From a fellow believer,

Helene

Amen, Amen Sister!!

It seems the person mentioned needs to understand the consequences of sin and God is Holy and will not ecquit the wicked.

Nahum 1:3. The LORD is slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked: the LORD hath his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.

Most people who say believe in God but not Christianity believe if there good deeds out weigh their bad deeds they will be OK.

And constantly compare theirselves to other sinners. They don't understand the wages of sin is death. The preaching of the cross have no effect on them.

1 Corinthians 1:18. For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.

This is why our walk and to Love the Brothern is so important.

John 13:34-35. A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.

By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.

God bless.

Amen, For GOD will never put to much on us that we can't handle, He always gives us a way out, Free will, but make the the righteous decision.

Good morning, I just wanted to thank you for the KJV Bible on line, I look forward in getting up reading and listening to the word.....It's like I can hear GODs voice through the word.

You all have a bless and prosperous day, PLEASE be safe out there this covid-19 is killing our people....Stay Prayed Up. Thank you

Yes I believe in Joel 2:29 and I also believe in these other scriptures.

1 Timothy 2:12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.

1 Timothy 3:12 Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well.

Mishael,

Beautiful name, a name I was wanting to name my child 30 years ago, but was uncertain how to spell it. The pastor looked at me puzzled? So I thought, if He didn't know the name, than I must be imagining it!

The 3rd person in the trinity is the Holy Spirit. It is a person!

How can this this be ,only our Lord knows! Allowing Him a place in us is a miracle from above, just like the dove that came upon Christ! Unfathomable, past finding out.

Waiting for Him, seems to be the most problematic for us, however, through persistent prayer, He will make a way, that you may have the confidence and the words that can only come from Him! God Bless, F.E.S.

The 23 psalm , is this the valley everyone who hears his voice must go through? Is this the place behind the area where our children play? Or perhaps this is the area after and before the prophets of old? Or, is this the place that many try to avoid?

Especially, the shepherds who have been trained to avoid this place full of shadows of death! Trained to take the children a different way, unknown but to only them?

Though I walk through the darkest valley? I.V. inter. version.(darkest valley?). Is darkest valley the same as death? Are you afraid of the darkest valley? Or, are you afraid of the shadow of death? Is your shepherd afraid of the shadow of death? Perhaps He doesn't believe the words of God!

There is one gate, wide is the gate ,narrow is the way. Follow Him , the shepherd of your soul ,the one who has shed His blood for you and me! Repent and be baptized!

You're very welcome!

Brian

First and foremost: Are you a born-again believer in Christ?

John 3:16 "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. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. But it's not enough to believe in your head. You must believe in your heart. Romans 10:9-10 "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." Confess your sins to Jesus Christ, repent, and believe in your heart that he has saved you. He will give you a new heart and a new life in Him. Ezekiel 36:26 "A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh."

If you are truly saved, God will help you overcome these things, but you must do your part, or as some say, "Pray and then put legs on your prayers."

We have all sinned and come short of the glory of God. We commit sins we do not even know about. We commit careless sins. And then there are the deliberate sins, including the ones you listed: Womanizing, lying, stealing. To wit, you are tempted to do each one; you know they are wrong, but you do them anyway. Being remorseful, praying, asking others to pray for you will not help you until you repent from committing these sins. When the devil comes whispering into your ears, rebuke him with "In Jesus's name, get behind me, Satan!" And he will flee. James 4:7 - Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

And remember, when you sin, whether its a careless sin or deliberate always ask Christ to forgive you, even ask Him to forgive the sins you aren't aware of committin

God bless you!

Thank you ,please pray for my strength and encouragement in The Lord , God Bless

I am sorry but your reply has no scriptural references that I know of. Could you enlighten me?

Amen Brother Jesse.

Ephesians 4:1-6. I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called,

With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;

Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;

One Lord, one faith, one baptism,

One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.

I see you got through!!

God bless

DWL You will not find it, biblically men are leaders in the church not women, the timothy epistles are written to leaders in the Church in 2 Timothy 2:9-13. There are bishops elders and deacons no deaconess. In regards to the sabbath everyday for the christian is a day of worshipping and thanksgiving look at Ephesians 5:17-20 is what to do. Colossians 2:16-23 is what not to do. If you look up origin of the names of days of the week we use Monday ,tuesday, etc. its a very interesting study mostly named after planets or gods that were worshipped. Not they way it was originally. God Bless

Can some one tell me how Adam was a type of Him that was to come? and Yahushuah was the second Adam? please don't say that because they are each the first of a kind i.e. By Adam came sin and death and Yahushuah brought righteousness and life. because that does not make them the same but rather it makes them the opposite. If anything it makes Adam anti-Christ. HOW AND WHEN WERE THEY ALIKE?

Thank you Dianne, I really appreciate several points you make in your comment. Like my friend, I used to be mostly in my head.... I interpreted everything by my own understanding... I was raised in the Catholic Church, and never heard the gospel! I left the Church, and decided to learn meditation and ended up in a Buddhist meditation center, where I had a major conversion experience to Christ. But I also came from philosophy background, and was waaayyy in my head, and before I was born again, the "gospel" simply did not make sense to me, it offended my reasoning. I was in my "natural man" as you point out, and could not discern the things of God. I think my friend is like this, he is very much in his thinker, in his head. The idea of Jesus dying for HIS sins is offensive to him, he thinks probably that he would never hurt a fly, much less ask another to die for him. He has not seen that Christ was God..... I think of Jesus turning to Peter and saying, "Get thee behind me Satan, for you savor the things of man, not the things of God..." when Peter denied that Jesus would have to die so horribly . . . . so my friend, all he sees is "human sacrifice" and murder, not the mystery.

Honestly, the Holy Spirit's Voice is such amazing grace...... and so is the Word of God..... To be born again is to be

freed from the heavy coat of Religion AND the heavy coat of Agnosticism...... God Bless you, and thank you also for these scriptures..... Everyone's comments on this thread have edified me greatly.....

Sorry but that makes no scriptural sense

Thank you Earl! Amen and Amen!

Chris, this is very helpful, thank you. I find when I try to be "reasonable" about the gospel,

I get all jumbled up, and feel like a completely unprofitable servant. Then I get discouraged, and

stop.. For this reason, I have put aside the idea of evangelizing, thinking only certain people can do this.....

But I know i can grow in the Lord, and gain clarity in my mind to share the gospel. When you say,

my friend needs to see that his and our sins have separated us from God..... how can he see this

except by a revelation from the Lord? I am praying that the Lord give him that revelation, because

he has said, he doesn't believe in "sin" or "sinners." He follows a kind of Advaita, Hindu path where

God is in all beings, shining out love.... So the Cross is nowhere in this worldview... But I am praying

myself to be a clearer witness, and i am being asked to fast as well, for the sake of the salvation of others

and to be myself sanctified in Him.... Your response blessed me, the soundness of it. Thank you.

your question is profane. There is no such reference. Nothing like that was spoken.

I also was lifted out of a past of astrology, and lust for occult knowledge and powers. Jesus lifted me right out.

Thank you very much for this response, it rang loud and true in my spirit. You also seem to read my spirit

accurately I have felt extremely timid to speak the gospel to others. The words come out all jumbled

and I try to make it reasonable, try to make it logical, but I end up leaning on my own understanding, and I fall down weak. And I think, "I sound like a fool." Well, I am willing to be a fool for Christ. But I want to be effective

for the kingdom... Anyway, My friend is a very kind-hearted man, he hates all violence. He hates confrontations.

I am afraid also, that he is, without knowing it, an enemy of the Cross of Christ. He has seen my conduct

over the years, and he thanks me for staying with him through thick and thin. He doesn't know I have been

praying for his soul, doing battle in the unseen realms for him.... I just outwardly love him. But lately, I

have been led to share my faith with him, and this is where he said, "I never liked the idea of Jesus dying for

my sins..... or the idea of human sacrifice!' So I will fast and pray now. My deep desire for his salvation

is directly linked to my desire to be established in the faith myself, and to rise to new levels of clarity in the

gospel. Thank you so much for your words, the word FAST and PRAY rang out like a clarion call......

I believe that in Genesis 1: 26 when God said, Let us make man in our image. He was referring to Himself and His heavenly host. This is where the different races came from. He made both men and women and told them to go and be fruitful and replenish the earth.

This is the only logical explanation I can come up with. In Chapter 2:1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished and all the HOST of them. 2. And on the seventh day God ENDED his work which he had made; and rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.

I truly believe God gives us the answers to every question possible that we may have right in His Word. All we have to do is ask for His guidance to seek and find it. I too had asked this question when I first read the scriptures and I truly believe this was God's answer to my question. So the "man to till the ground" in verse 5 is the man Et Ha Adham which God breathe life in his nostrils is the man in which Christ would come from. And God made Eve, from the Rib ( curve, helix-DNA ). Et Ha Adham refers to Eve as mother of all living because Christ is the Father of all living (all that believe in Him). Remember that Christ is God incarnate! Christ says in the scriptures, "If you have seen me, you have seen the Father). The Bible is God, Christ History ... who He is, who He came from, where He came from, what He did for us.

I hope this helps ... clear your mind of all that you been taught and seek Him with a clear mind and let His word speak to you. Pray that He gives you the wisdom and understanding of His word. He will answer all that seek Him. Praise and Glory to God!
