Hello Estela. Yes, many people have enquired how a good God can permit so much suffering upon us. If He is so good, shouldn't He step in & put an end to sicknesses, diseases, murders, etc.?

I think of it this way: if God did put a stop to these things, then they would only be temporary, since every man, woman & child is born a sinner ( Romans 3:23), & because of our sinful condition, all these things come upon us. When Adam & Eve were created, they were sinless, enjoying God's Presence continually, no sickness, in harmony with animal life around them, & would never see death. But once they disobeyed God & sinned, they lost all that perfection, & they had to hide from God (Genesis chapters 2 & 3).

And ever since, their sinful nature & death was passed upon all of us ( Romans 5:12) & the proof is the way we behave before God & our fellow-man even now. Even the one who murders another is no different to the one who has hate in his heart, according to Jesus ( Matthew 5:21,22). Or the man who cheats on his wife is the same as the one who cheats on his taxes. So all these evil traits that we might have in us are a result of indwelling sin. Yes, God can stop us from doing those evil acts, but evil will always be with us & in our hearts - and this is unacceptable before God.

What God has done, was to give us a new heart & a new spirit so that we won't do those things that come from within ( Matthew 15:19). If our heart is clean & right before God, we won't do evil & hurt one another and that was why He sent His Son to this Earth to give His Life. Jesus paid the price for our sin, which we couldn't pay, & made us acceptable before God & a clean vessel to be used by Him. So in God's Sight, stopping the murder of someone doesn't fix the problem of murder: murder will always happen, whether against someone or in our hearts. The solution to stop them is that they be changed on the inside. But most people refuse His salvation & so evil will continue with so much suffering.

Betty, God's will be done.

Ann,

I pray every day for God to protect nurses and doctors from contagion, accident, and violence. May God bless and keep you all.

The Bible is true, and it is certain that the mark of the beast is not the vaccine, nor is it the testing for C19.

The Bible tells us that the mark of the beast will be received willingly, but the vast majority who will receive it, will know nothing about it until it is too late.

In Revelation 18:23 we find the following text which is referring to modern day Babylon.

"for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived."

This word "sorceries" is strongs G5331 "pharmakeia" which is where the English word pharmacy has its roots.

The Biblical meaning in a nutshell, is the use or the administering of drugs.

There can be no doubt that the use and administering of drugs is one of the means by which the serpent uses to deceive "all nations."

And by this text we can know for sure that all the nations will be deceived into receiving the mark of the beast, but it is not the mark of the beast in and of itself.

We know this because the mark of the beast is determined by whom we worship.

The controversy which began in heaven was between Christ and Satan, and it is over the worship that rightfully belongs to Christ; it is that which Satan covets. The one thing that Satan desired from Christ when He came to the earth was His worship; and Satan was prepared to give everything for it. Matthew 4:8-9 proves this point, as does the following.

"If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, the same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation."[ Rev. 14:9, 10.] See also Revelation 13:15.

And so it is by worshipping the beast that we give homage to the god of this world, and in so doing we will receive his mark.

Our attention therefore, should be upon receiving the mark or the seal of the living God, for if we have His seal, then we shall never receive the mark of the beast.

The scriptures are the will of God toward man. Yes, He is that He is!

Can we know Him without His word? If this bible were taken away, would we be able to still know Him? I predict a time that even now is, that churches will not be able to keep their doors open unless they use a certain bible! This bible will be determined by the anti Christ. More and more the name of Christ is eliminated in the course of denying the trinity. e.g. B.C. has been replaced by "common era, and before common era". These ideas procured by the docs. of theology ,who, giving us "all the same God", in the hopes of protecting man from Himself!

These works of righteousness are the works of man and not of God! Paul, could not be more direct to the point when he says we are not saved according to works! Mans works of righteousness mean absolutely nothing before God!

God said, I have chosen you! You have not chosen me! Love Him with everything that is in you! all your heart ,soul, and mind! They may try and silence Him, one thing is sure, no one can remove Him from your heart!

Hiya Henry but you do greatly err. Remember Solomon the wisest king in the O.T. When he didicated his great new temple he made interession for the Gentiles,The strangers that is not of thy ppl Israel but have come from a faraway country, if they shall come and worship in this Temple hear thou from heaven thy dwelling place and do all that the stranger asked of thee that THY NAME mighty be great in all the world. Solomon had his arms raised to heaven and was making interession for the Gentiles approx a 1000 yrs before Christ and here comes Christ preaching in the temple about Naaman a Syrian a leper that God had sent Elijah to when in fact there were many other lepers in Israel that Elijah was not sent to at that time,But Naaman a SYRIAN WAS HEALED was made Clean long b/f Israel . Abraham himself was a Syrian Duet 26 : 5.

Praise the Lord for His provision that He freely gives unto His people. As we see in this chapter 5, the Lord will use all who has a desire to fulfill His will, and supply all that is needed to accomplish it.

Lord, help us now in this pandemic that is being fostered upon us. Give us leaders who have godly wisdom, and the heart to glorify you. Thank you Lord for hearing our prayers.

God bless everyone this day, August 5, 2021.

Embalming was not something done during those times. People used spices to repel the smell of death in a corpse! Do you remember Mary when she poured this fragrance over Christ, getting him ready for His death! How Judas spoke against it, that the spices should have been given to the poor! This fragrance fragrance would be a sign of life everlasting! If and when you smell that fragrance, look up, for Christ will be coming for you! When the Father in heaven reveals these things unto you, you will say "My Lord and my God". In all the world and time of times , we are going to see the return of Christ! Satan will do everything in His power to deceive the world, Even as He does now!

Hello William. Others here may have other suggestions for you, but the only Scripture that comes to mind is in Proverbs 22:6: "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it."

Some people use this verse to support training up children in the ways of the Lord, but we do sometimes hear of those same children, when older, choosing to no longer follow the Lord, preferring the offerings of the world. But this is not the sole intent of this Scripture. It speaks about training or instructing a child while they are still young, impressionable, teachable, to be guided in all facets of life: in virtue, spiritual matters, education, physical pursuits, & in accordance with the child's propensities & interests - that the child might be well-formed early in life, so that those qualities, once imparted through parental love, may develop bringing forth an adult who lives his life in accordance with his childhood training.

It was good to read that your health is better & indeed, as you read from God's Word & bring all your mattes & concerns before Him in prayer, He will sustain you & given you His Joy & Peace, that will even surmount any weaknesses in life. Keep resting in Him & trusting Him for all your needs, brother.

Good morning Mishael But the J.W.'s Teach a very sick thing they go door to door teaching that God Almighty neva had an Absolute Son, he was just a Token Son like ADAM , Another Adam . How sick is that .As if Jesus cannot multiply after the God kind,Jesus said to whom the WORD came ( HIS SEED ) it made them Gods and the scripture cannot be broken . It was God Almighty that said that everything has to multiply after its kind and we see that Jesus cd multiply after the God kind as that which is born of the Spirit is Spirit as God Almighty is spirit which is the H.G. the God kind the Children of Promise via the seed of Christ . When he breathe on them he was multipling after the God kind their Child was the H.G. The Child of Promise . His breath was his Word which is his SEED. That was the great Promise i will multiply thy seed as the Stars of Heaven ,thus the Sower and his seed ,his Words. Behold the lamb of God that taketh away the sins of the world, Had he not been God the Son his blood cd not have been the Atonement for the sins of the WORLD.

Robert,

Your question has also been a question to widows for a long time. They miss their spouses, and look forward to meeting them in Heaven. There are cases where spouses have passed away and the widow or widower marries the second time. Then the question becomes: which one will be preferred in heaven. On Earth one of the greatest joys we know is meeting a good friend we haven't met for a long time. If a spouse or Mother passes, the greatest joy that we comprehend would be to meet them, hence it burdens our hearts to think that we might not know them. My thought is this, Heaven will be a joy filled place and we can find consolation in looking forward to meeting our loved ones, and that's OK.

The Bible says: But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. Corinthians 2:9 I believe the Joy in Heaven will be a level far beyond the joy we know on earth, and far beyond what we can even comprehend in our mortal minds.

It should become clear that America is at a lose of her sovereignty, but has lost in the midst of a pandemic the ability to preach the Good news! I remember Christ words when He said He is coming. Is he coming for you? At no other time could I more persuasive then to say look up your redemption draws nigh! These days are upon us. Rejoice ,I say, Rejoice!

Please pray for Kristie and myself. Pray the Lord gives Kristie the strength and courage to face and do what she needs. Pray she has the courage to say what she to get past her fears

please continue to keep myself and my family in your prayers

Study yourself,

This coming attack is against the nations who were once Israel, under David, then scattered. God often says that He is against His people and will use our enemies to do His will. You should be able to spot God imparting this fact on to you.

Please read Ezekiel 38 to see satan's coming after Israel and he takes her.

Read the aftermath, how Jacob gets knocked out by his brother, Obadiah:10

This violence on God's people gives rise to speculation that around this time frame God will protect His people, Christians, from harms way and usher them off to safety. Regardless of any professed doctrines, the strike will see God's children under attack.

People who are raised a certain way my Bible says are not going to change their ways

So prayers please

To my niece

Glenn,

Yes, that is correct. You got it.

Henry that reply was not to ! kings 4, communication error somewhere God Bless.

Henry with all due respect somethings been taken out of context, so that being said, Gods Peace and take care.

Within the harmony of the gospels what I've studied there are 4 gospels because four pertains to the world, i.e. seasons of the year, directions north south east west, another example earth wind fire water, the reason four gospels each magnifies a different aspect of Jesus Christ ministry on earth. In matthew as king, in mark a servant to man, in luke as a perfect man, in John as the Son of God.

The Lord is my help and healer.

I love this site with the simplicity of presenting God's word.

Thank you.

When someone needs a medical doctor, there are conditions upon wich, they should relate between them!

The doctor is not obliged to treat every one that thinks that he needs a doctor.

The doctor is obliged to treat well the patient that he accepts to be his patient.

Everything the doctor says, regarding his treatment, the patient must obey.

There is a uge responsability that obliges the doctor towords his patient.

When the patient dont obey, the medical obligation ceasses! The doctor may, still, explain the consequences, depending on the circunstances that drive the patientsmotivation.

Its written:- The Lord our God, is a consuming fire, and also that He says come and lets talk about your reasons, lets reason between you and Me.

When a man dies, terminates his oportunity, because its for the living that the gospel exists. There is no presching or reasoning with the dead, as its written on Eclesiates, chapter 9. 4 and 5. and on Isaias 8.20. Jesus rested while in the tumb, as son of man, like He said about Lzaruss that he was sleeping, or inconscient!

The one thing the JW's do that is commendable (in my opinion)

Is that they go door-to-door, hand out tracts and visit with people face to face.

Does ANYONE in here do that, I wonder?

They have a doctored up Bible that doesn't have JESUS'S name in it. That is very bad!!!

Remember the woman caught committing adultery? We are so ready to throw stones at people who are doing something right BUT WITH THE WRONG BIBLE. They visit, listen to sad stories....evangelize.

Do any of our neighbors know we are Christians? They can ask questions? Be prayed for if they have needs? Write it on a slip of paper and give it to the Pastor. We are admonished to "do the Work of an Evangelist".

If you need a Holy Spirit gift to evangelize, pray for it. Have hands laid on at church. We're all called to WORK THE HARVEST. Pray to the Lord of the Harvest (Jesus). Ask to have an offering taken up to purchase gospel tracts.

Some people are elderly and could use a prayer of encouragement. See if they need a New Testament Bible. (Very low cost)

These people may all be at the Bema Seat judgment of Jesus. :D All this stuff is going to come up and be mentioned. How wonderful to get a crown for doing something so Easy! Yep. Go google Five Crowns.

I do not give the JW's a hard time. Sometimes I invite them in :O and give them a glass of cold water. Chick Tracts dot com has tracts just for JW's. Yep. Cheap too.

Let's not throw stones... Mishael

John, God is not going to attack Gods people.

EVERYONE THAT HAS BEEN BORN AGAIN AND BAPTIZED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT (according to John 3)

Even those that believe on Jesus Name..

Will Be Caught Up in the Clouds to Jesus.

There may be trumpets going off, but the twinkle of an eye, is faster than a whole blink.

If you read the 10 Virgins Parable, Jesus told,

HE SAID TO BE READY. He's coming like a Thief in the Night (spiritual darkness). He said watch and pray. Let's do the DO's. What Jesus said to do! BE LOOKING UP.

We can all google THE NEW TESTAMENT PROPHECIES LIST. It shows the prophecies and the ones that have been fulfilled. Save it on your google desktop, so you can have it for quick reference.

With the 4 gospel books: we need to read the Harmonies of them. Four disciples were seeing and hearing the same thing, but they are a little different because were talking about 4 points of references.

Pastor Greg Laurie has some very good teachings on Revelation on his YouTube channel; soon to be on cable. Rick Renner is a good one to consider.

I have learned that if we read slowly, take some notes, read all the center of each page reference notes; a more complete sequence comes into view.

Use the SEARCH BOX on this website to gather all scriptures on a subject. It helps. Read the Commentary which you scroll Down to read it too.

May GOD bless you and keep you. May his love be perfected in and shown through us and Thanks be to The Lord for am redeemed saved cared about and love! For Christ Jesus his only sinless son paid the price for me and set me free with his love! Faith is how you receive and all that is needed is believing!

Hello Eyobed. I'm unsure which verse you're thinking of, or were told about, but generally we know that John 11:41 has been altered in almost every translation that I could find.

KJV: "Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me."

Others: "So they took away the stone. Then Jesus looked up and said, "Father, I thank you that you have heard me."

The other translations have omitted the phrase, "from the place where the dead was laid" as it's not found in the older manuscripts. However, the KJV is translated from the 'Received Text', which is the most reliable throughout the manuscript. In any case, if this was the verse you were thinking of, then the omission, though noteworthy, does not alter the sense of the passage, as 'the stone' was clearly the one sealing Lazarus' cave/sepulchre & no one else's.

Pharaoh's heart was already hardened. He realized that if all the Jewish slaves left Egypt, there would only be Egyptians left to build his treasure city.

Every time Moses told Pharaoh to let the people go, Pharaoh's heart hardened more. He was not going to lose his work force.

When they left, Pharaoh chased after them, to slaughter them. The plagues didn't slow him down at all.

He was the Pharaoh that had all the male Jewish babies drowned at birth. I would say that was hardened, wouldn't you?

With the 10 plagues ,..

Thanks to God. I no longer have asthma.

Am not taking medication and am a 100% independent.

I have no worries

Just saying

The verse says a person being raised a certain way that they are not subject to change with age.

Going by the Bible we are in the end.

Talking to my niece about other niece's and nephew's. She is familiar with that verse I was looking for. She said

They know what is right that they choose to live wrong.

She don't study king James

Her bible is New English Standard not my choice I'm thankful she found religion.

I now realize that she is not familiar with the king James verse. She said she is, then she would realize why they won't change. To me she is judging, I don't know other bibles after what I have learned. King James is correct. And from what I have experienced we are in the last 7 years. I still have some brain injury issues and am not walking. I will walk in heaven.

Like I said I am doing so good because of God. I don't do drama or like to argue. She is in my prayers

Let your Churches know we need to pray every time we come together at Church, to join in this spiritual battle. Ephesians 6

[email I got from ACLJ dot Com

Can the government shut your church down? Can it forbid your church from worshiping on church property?

More and more we are seeing radical Left localities targeting churches to harass, discriminate against, and even shut them down.

We told you when California tried to use the pandemic to shut down singing in church that this was just the first salvo of a coming battle. We won that case with a settlement agreement in federal court.

But now another church, this time in Virginia, is being banned from using its own property for worship and other ministry. Scripture says, "on this rock I will build my church" ( Matthew 16:18), but the county said, not on this property. Why? Because the church won't get a liquor license. Yes, you read that right. And no, they don't even use wine in communion.

It's absurd. And it's unconstitutional.

Just hours ago, we filed a lawsuit in federal court to defend the religious liberty of the Church.

Mishael: there's a petition we can sign on their website. Thanks y'all. Have Faith in God.
