We only fool ourselves when we bend the bible scripture to make it comply with "Our Worldly Lifestyle".

Proverbs 14:12

"There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death."

God Bless

I pray that God will direct me, I'm starting a new chapter in life and I'm unsure and scared. I know that God is here for me because He said he'll never leave me nor will He forsake me. I trust and believe his word because he's a God of his word. I want him to guard my heart and direct my steps.

Alex, this blessed me just now. Thank you so much!

Explain verse 10

That is where I am at, don't know if you can see my question about thoughts and falling away but would you be willing to read it?

Amen Mountain Preacher GBU . But many times i think of that scripture. The spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made us Free from that law of sin and death . And if be lifted up i will draw ALL MEN UNTO ME.

I have been worried about falling away and I am not sure if you saw my previous question about that. So this isn't just something that I write about in theory, it is incredibly important because of my relationship with God. I have been struggling with my faith and concerned about my salvation, so understanding these scriptures is something I do not take lightly.

For i am the son and servant of God almight

please pray for myself and daughters Deanna and Jessica and there families

Alex: Every child of God has a sin that they struggle with. They find themselves tempted by this sin over and over again. Occasionally they will fall into this sin out of spiritual weakness or even depression. They hate this sin and when they find themselves doing it they are reminded by the Holy Spirit just how ungodly they have been. However they must go to God and ask forgiveness again in order to restore the fellowship with Jesus Christ although they don't feel worthy to do so.

Waking at 3am. Where can i find it in kjv bible

what does this chapter 1kings 20 signify to our modern days and which scripture in the new testament supports this passage of scripture.

Thanks God bless you as he gives you proper interpretation of this chapter.

I pray for God the Father, Jesus Christ my Savior and the Holy Spirit to fill my soul from this time forth that I may follow my Savior forevermore. Please forgive me of my sins and guide me in the path of Righteousness forever more.

There is Law, and there is Grace. Jesus was criticized for picking fruit on the Sabbath, or praying for the sick.

God made it more simple than some people realize. Whichever day your work week STARTS is your "Monday." Most people in the USA work a 5 day week, but if yours is different; you can choose your DAY OF REST. Which usually involves attending Church. Lunch can involve eating and discussing the sermon that morning. Make your own comments on it like we do here. Try not to delegate that. Everyone should should be able to comment upon the scriptures.

God is omnipresent so he's in all churches no matter what day or what time.

In Genesis it was work 6 days and then Sabbath: the Day of Rest. (Church day).

In our modern culture we work 5 days and play 2 days. Church may be optional in some families. :(

More important is to find a church you feel welcomed in; hear the Word of God in sermon; praises and worship; tithes; fellowship after.

Even better, get involved with some kind of "ministry" as a member of Christ's Body. The men usually have "breakfast meetings" some set day.

God is saying for us to Rest. Time to study the Bible. Pray for family or friends. Be kind to your wife.

I wish people would realize the Ten Commandments originated in the time of Moses. God covenanted with the children of Israel. It was in force until Jesus began his ministry. He reaffirmed the commandments in Matthew 5. Matthew 22:36-40. I think the Pharisees hated Jesus because he wasn't as strict as they. Loving each other and our neighbors is hard, for some people.

Consider these things and choose God. What did He say? How did Jesus respond? We're following Jesus, as his disciples in 2021. There is NOW no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus.

He's not going to gig us for what day we go to Church. We are under Grace. Period.

Mishael,

Is it any wonder who Mystery Babylon is? You've been given clews, but still hold America a queen, head and shoulders above the rest. What you gonna do when they come for you?

Well as I wrote I looked up those verseso, and by no means think that Christians are meant to be perfect. Just that everyone has free will and it is possible to drift away from God or get caught up in sin and hardened by it to the point that they refuse to submit to God the Father anymore. However I also think that the Holy Spirit helps people abide in Christ. Still learning and open to discussion.

Hi Prasanth Konde --> on Judges 2 - who is the Angel name in verse 1?

How to get to his name? Actually he is an archangel. He is a warrior.

He is the same who appeared to Moses in the mount Sina- Exodus 3:v.1-2 and Acts 7:v.30-33;

It is he who appears between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel in Exodus 14:v.19-20;

GOD reveals to Moses how the behaviour of this angel is. He is severe. Exodus 23:v.20-23

It is he who stood in the way for an adversary against Balaam with his sharp Sword: Numbers 22:v.22 onwards;

Joshua saw him in Jericho when he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a man over against him with his Sword drawn in his hand. Joshua went unto him, and said unto him, Art thou for us, or for our adversaries? 14 And he said, Nay; but as captain (or Prince) of the host of the Lord am I now come.

His name? Daniel 12:v.1-3

Lex,

You seem to be a lot more versed than you originally appeared. You have a lot more to give than to receive!!

I would like to add a thought rather than a verse because I believe Jesse has given

excellent scriptures and I couldn't improve on that.

YOU ABSOLUTELY CAN AND WILL LOOSE SALVATION IF YOU'VE EARNED IT,

Once you have it you better be perfect in order to keep it! Because Gods sacrificial Lamb was perfect. It's not just your actions that will be tested with fire!! God judges the Heart and the intent of Man, the thoughts also. And there is no more sacrifice. The works of the Law could never make one Perfect. And you have to Remain PERFECT. We have nothing to offer the Lord by the flesh. We worship the Lord in truth and in spirit and the only way we can do that is by the Holyspirit, That's what we call the inner Man, And it's at constant war with our flesh because the flesh is weak, God will judge the secrets of man, Craftiness and dishonesty, Lusts, Anger without a cause, doubt.

I will give you another that's hard to control, "Pride" SIN is inward as well outward!!

Certainly a Christian have a life change in his walk of life once converted but NOT to the degree where he can say move out the way Holyspirit I got it from here!!

We submit ourselves to the Lord and let the spirit guide us and when we do well ALL GLORY TO GOD!

We are Clothed in Christ righteousness! We are hidden in Christ!

We walk by faith! ( Even that's given to us)

We are predestinated.

Again the sacrifice was perfect, So if it's up to us to remain perfect then you better be!! From here on out!!

If you can loose salvation I'm sure this comment is going to cause some people to do so. But if you're saved you shouldn't worry.

Romans 8:39 Nor height, nor depth, NOR ANY OTHER CREATURE, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ JESUS.

WE'RE CREATURES, WE CAN'T EVEN SEPARATE OURSELVES!!!

Lets Just be sure we have it.

God bless and Goodnight.

Brother Kenneth, May CHRIST IN US grace us with HIS wisdom and His understanding.

What ever sin you see in yourself; GOD DOES NOT SEE.

The WORKS of Christ REMOVED them as far as the east is from the west.

WE ALL murdered Christ.

His last words were Father FORGIVE THEM.

Stand in that Forgiveness.

Just give thanks for his WORKS OF SALVATION.

Draw nigh to me and I will draw nigh to you.

Please pray that my Sap appeal for Financial aid is approved. I'm 5 classes away from my degree .

Rev. Bob Blaine:

I agree with Jesse, he gave a great answer, it is also called Gehenna, a destination of the wicked. Jesus used Gehenna as an illustration of hell (the lake of fire), the fire that shall never be quenched. This is a parable; in the Hebrew tradition Abrahams bosom was a place where the righteous dead would go. Excluding the context; is the point of this parable to show when we die, we go to heaven or hell as many teach?

The Jewish people of the time of Jesus had been influenced by Babylonian and Hellenistic Greek cultures. The Pharisees were covetous, they flaunted their wealth and the seat of authority they had. Is this parable describing a holding place where the redeemed can live in peace and safety but can look and even talk across a vast chasm with the sufferings of the sinners in torment?

This parable also does not fit all of scripture, if we receive our reward as soon as we die, as said, we go to heaven or hell. In the text of Luke16 Jesus is talking to Pharisees and scribes and in context, Jesus covers stewardship, love of riches, adultery and no servant can serve two masters.

Many scriptures tell us when we will receive our reward and it is not when we die. Here are just a few and they all agree it is at the second coming of Jesus Christ. ( Matthew 16:27) ( 1 Corinthians 1:7-8) ( 1 Corinthians 15:22-23) ( 1 Thessalonians 2:19) ( Revelation 22:12).

I am sorry if this offends, I did not want to take away of Jesse's answer, but I feel some verses are taken out of context to teach untruths. If this parable is about how to escape hell and go to heaven when you die, then the lesson of the story is that eternal life can be earned by being poor. I'm sure many will disagree including you.

It's hard to deny what the Bible so clearly says. Here are more verses saying the same thing about salvation. Jesus warned his followers many times through parables that most will go to hell. Judas was a follower until he turned his back on Jesus and sold Him out. He faced a horrible death and likely will go to hell. Christians unfortunately turn their backs on Jesus today- sometimes even prominent ones, including pastors, worship leaders, ministers. The common response I hear is either denial or 'they were never Christian'- then I ask them their definition of a Christian and then usually don't get a response. The Bible says all those things about security of salvation, but you can't stop reading there, this assumes you're following Jesus and many do for a period of time, but then start following the world or satan directly, without even realizing how far they have drifted. The Bible says to fear God. He will judge you and where you will go. Most won't take it seriously, will goof off, live for pleasure and will go to hell. People need to be warned of this so they will actually follow Jesus, and avoid the disaster that awaits. Jesus's parables were quite clear and He pounded that message into people. People who don't follow Jesus's commandments don't love Jesus. They might say they do, believe they do, but they don't if continue in sin.

Hebrews 10:26 "For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,"

James 2:14-26 "...faith, if it hath not works, is dead..."

James 2:19 "Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble."

1 Peter 1:13 "...hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;"

Romans 11

John 14:15 "If ye love me, keep my commandments."

Matthew 12:31-32

Romans 14:12

1 Peter 1:5 - "...salvation ready to be revealed in the last time."

1 Cor 9:24-27 "run the race", not the 'race was already won.'

Quoted:>>>Mishael

The war in heaven took place before the book of Genesis.

7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; the dragon fought and his(evil) angels,

8 And prevailed not;neither was their place found any more in heaven. Regarding the verse 7 above, the angels(messengers) of the current time or time of Apocalypse, actually followers of the Dragon-Satan- are not those which GOD "hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the Judgment of this Great Day - the Lord's Day - but the fallen angels(messengers) of the Churches, MINISTERS of Satan - 2 Cor.11: v.13-15:

13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.

14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.

15 Therefore it is no great thing if his MINISTERS also be transformed as the MINISTERS of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.



---> The Dragon-Satan- has 7 heads and 10 horns, and 7 crowns upon his heads.

The battle is against this SATANIC RELIGIOUS MONSTER, the 7 heads are 7 mountains, and the 7 crowns refers to 7 kings( Revelation 17:v.9-10, right?).

The 10 HORNS are more 10 KINGS ( Revelation 17:v.10), which have received no kingdom as yet; but will receive power as KINGS one hour with the Beast (the Beast of sea-Rev.13:v.1-10).

13 These (10 KINGS) have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the Beast.(to the Beast of sea)

14 These (the Dragon, the Beast of sea, the 10 KINGS) shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them.

We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.Eph.6:v.12

--->Heaven?In what heaven are we now according Eph.1:v.3?

Heavens?2Pe.3:7

Your welcome Jeff.

I wont fill you with the ole platitudes like lead by example, don't let your heart get hardened, show your son and his wife the respect and honor you desire, to humble yourself before the LORD in this matter, continue to pray and to remember that the outcome you desire may not be in alignment with God's plan or your child's free will. These are all things you already know so again I wont expound on them. I will say Be patient, kind, understanding, loving, prayerful & accepting of whatever the outcome. These things are VERY easy for me to say from the outside looking in but for your well being (body & soul) it's what you should consider. I will continue to pray for you and your family. Your brother in Christ.

Tim

Jesse,

That's great to hear. Please do not fall for the lie that reciting a prayer will somehow grant you salvation. PLEASE study your bible and find a church who teaches what you learned, if what they teach cannot be found in the bible find a new church. To help you on your journey of learning "What must I do to be saved" please start with the following: We must hear him Matthew 7:25-25, We must believe in him John 6:47, We must confess him Matthew 10:32, We must repent or our sins Luke 13:3, We must be baptized Mark 16:16 & we must remain faithful Mathew 24:13. God bless!!!

Here are some scriptures I looked up that indicate that believers can fall from grace, depart from the faith, or apostatize. Once again I do not know everything and if I am wrong I appreciate insight and discussion.

2 Peter 3:17

Luke 8:5-18

1 Timothy 4:1

2 Peter 2:20-22

Hebrews 3:12

Galatians 5:4

1 Corinthians 15:2-8

Comment by Mishael: God had purposed to kill the idol worshippers, BUT, Moses interceded on their behalf. It says God changed his mind. (He does hear our prayers for people)

The LORD's next statement to Moses is dramatic and terrifying: "Now let me alone, so that . . . I may consume them" (32:10). The LORD plans to destroy all the Israelites there in the wilderness and end the whole experiment with God's chosen people. Moreover, the LORD makes Moses a tempting offer: "I will make you a great nation" (32:10). In effect, the LORD offers to Moses the chance to become a new Abraham, the sole originator of a whole new people who will be a substitute for the destroyed Israelites (see Genesis 12:1-3).

Moses' Intercession:

Moses denies himself the opportunity to become a new Abraham. Instead, Moses prays and intercedes for Israel with three strong reasons why the LORD should not carry out the planned destruction of the Israelites.

1. Remember, these are not my people. They are "your people," LORD, whom "you brought out . . . of Egypt" (32:11).

2. Destroying your own people, Israel, in the wilderness would be bad for your international reputation. What would the Egyptians say? (32:12)

3. Remember the promises of land and descendants that you made to Abraham, Isaac and Israel/Jacob long ago. You always keep your promises! (32:13)

Moses had not always been successful in changing God's mind in the past (see the call of Moses in Exodus 3:7-4:17). But advocating for others, denying one's own interests, and appealing to the mercy of God has a particularly powerful effect that God takes very seriously. In this case, remarkably, in response to Moses' prayer, "the LORD changed his mind about the disaster that he planned to bring on his people" (32:14).

As it happened, they wandered 40 yrs until the older generation died and were buried; on the Egypt side of the Jordan River.

Mishael

Every pet I've had that died; I pray they'll be in heaven giving leg rubs to everyone sitting on a bench.

When I think of heaven, I always think there's animals because it says that their natures will be changed. The lion will lay down with the lamb. Lion and Lamb are 2 of Jesus's names too.
