Mr. Bowman,

Thank you for your reply. These added scriptures absolutely help answer my question.

God Bless you!

Raquel Herrera-Auckland

Thank you very much for replying. This is exactly the answer I was looking for!

God Bless you!

Hebrews chapter 9

27 And as it is appointed unto men ONCE TO DIE but after this the judgment:

28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.

This is speaking of the Christian dead. (Wherever their bodies ceased to be alive. For the Christian, Christ follower; their flesh/bone remains on the earth, awaiting the moment of the Rapture.

Their spirits have already returned to God in heaven.

The non-Christian dead, remain where they died. Their bodies had been flesh and soul. Because they did not receive Jesus as their Lord; their spirits were not alive to God. They await the Great White Throne Judgment of the wicked dead.

In the story of Lazarus the beggar, a rich man awaiting the judgment begged for water because of the flames, but Lazarus could not cross the gulf of distance.

The rich man (died wicked dead) begged again, that Lazarus would go witness Christ to his family members, yet alive. But Lazarus could not cross the gulf. People in hell...pray; they feel, they thirst; they can see.

They would tell you to rescue their still unsaved loved ones.

We can all witness now to our alive, but unsaved family members or close friends. It's up to us. We may be their only contact to hear that there is hope and rest in Jesus. Eternal life in heaven.

I grieved for my unsaved friends and relatives. We all do. Regret is hard to swallow.

Instead of becoming bitter at God and Jesus, remember the manner of death Jesus had to die, so we could be born again. I wept when I watched "the Passion of Christ" movie. I covered my eyes too.

We need to think on this exchange between Lazarus and the rich man; and not stay silent any longer. TIME is shorter.

LUKE 16: 19-31

May God hold your heart in his Hand and give you peace. In Jesus Name. Mishael

Correction: it was 3 years.

Tito, your concern makes me wonder if the Lord is calling you to be an evangelist? Because you care much for those who have not made a decision (for Christ) yet.

A month after salvation, I was out on the streets in Roswell NM (alien capital of the world) evangelizing the lost. I did not want anyone to ever go through what I went through.

You pray to the Lord of the Harvest, to raise up and send workers into the harvest SOON.

If you, yourself, know how to be saved; you know enough to tell someone else How To Be Saved. Tell them what convinced you. The Lord of the Harvest (Holy Spirit) will give you the words.

God will surely perform the Written Word of God (The Bible). There is no revision. Our born again spirits are screaming to us: Time is Almost Up.

Revelation 22

14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life (Jesus Christ) and may enter in through the gates into the city.

15 For "outside" are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.

18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall ADD unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:

19 And if any man shall TAKE AWAY from the words of the book of this prophecy,

God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

Read how Jesus witnessed to Nicodemas in John 3.

Adam and Eve were alive spiritually to God. Adam talked to Him. After they sinned, that spiritual connection was broken. For them and for all of mankind born till NOW. Only Jesus can restore that connection. His holy blood was poured out on all mankind. Done! All that needs done, is to tell others it is a requirement to repent of wrongdoing and Receive The Free Gift of salvation: Jesus.

Deuteronomy 30:19 the written record of your life

Raquel, may CHRIST IN US grace us with HIS wisdom and HIS understanding.

The ones who die in unbelief will at some point in time be resurrected back in their bodies of flesh and will be JUDGED IN CHRIST and will BE IN CHRIST.

Isaiah 1:26 I will restore thy judges (ones in first resurrection)as at the first, and thy counsellors (ones in first resurrection) as at the beginning: afterwards (second resurrection; after they or judged IN CHRIST) thou shalt be called, the city of RIGHTEOUSNESS, the FAITHFUL city.

Isaiah 26:9 .....for when thy JUDGEMENTS are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world WILL LEARN RIGHTEOUSNESS.

Isaiah 61:11 For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causes the things that are sown in it to spring forth, so the Lord God WILL CAUSE RIGHTEOUSNESS and PRAISE to spring forth before ALL the nations.

Daniel 12:3 And they that be wise (ones in the first resurrection) shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they (ones in first resurrection) shall turn many (ones in second resurrection) to RIGHTEOUSNESS as the stars for ever and ever.

I need prayer for me

MATTHEW 6:1-7

1 Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.

2 Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

3 But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:

4 That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.

5 And when thou prayest, thou shalt NOT be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is IN SECRET; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.

7 But when ye pray, use NOT vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. (Sorta like 50 Hail Mary and Our Father, prayers?)

Mishael: The Lord wants us to pray from our hearts. Just as He wants us to give our offerings from our hearts; as unto God. That is often how missionaries work is funded; youth camps, etc.

We give our tithes to our Church that we attend, so they can pay the light bill, water bill, and church employees; maintenance stuff.

Trust me that God knows where every penny is and where it went.

He tells us: Do Not Judge. Why? Because He Alone is The Judge.

We commit our actions to Him, and He sorts out the details.

This is what's supposed to be in our hearts. Purity, Trust, and a knowing that our faithfulness will be rewarded, On Earth, When we most need it.

Pray in your own words, your thoughts, confess your doubts; repent of wrongs. Your conscience will always feel clean and un-clouded.

I have a question regarding fornication. My wife an I have both been saved sense a young age. We've been married 16 years an about a year ago we made a horrible mistake an decide to go after our own lust an invite another woman into our bed. Sense then we have both realized our faults an have turned away from that but I still struggle with lusting for that even tho I hate there very sin I committed. My question is if I hate this sin an want the lust an thoughts to be gone from my mind why do I still struggle with it so much? I've stayed in prayer asking God for forgiveness an to help me to not want the very things I hate but nothing seems to change. What am I doing wrong? has anyone else ever experienced something like this?

Where In The Bible Can I Find Information on Speaking In Tongue?

The fact that Moses committed a capital crime should be of worry to us all. For every action there's a equal and opposite reaction. I'm sure Moses was dealt with for his sins, no stone left unturned.

Sacha,

You can put sexual sins on hold, but you can't overcome impure thoughts. Escape to Jesus, live rent free in paradise.

Ezekiel imparts some reality for the false preachers.

Ezekiel 34:1-10

What you gonna do when they come for you?

Queen E Williams

Everything that the Son of God is, was, and will be was before this world was. So, Jesus was and is the bridegroom, but the bride has not been made ready as of yet. In Hebrew weddings the father who sets the day, he will not tell the son until the day the son will return, so everyone had to be ready to go at any minute. Jesus rode into Jerusalem first on a donkey colt. Revealing the King is coming to you; He is just and having salvation. Long ago if a king came on a donkey he was coming in peace.

When Jesus returns, He will be riding a white horse of war ( Revelation 19:11-16). Jesus will reign above all until the last enemy which is death shall be destroyed. Jesus fights that battle and the beast and false prophet will be cast alive into the lake of fire. Satan was locked in the bottomless pit for 1000 years. It does not say who casts Satan into the lake of fire, maybe Jesus since His sacrifice was what defeated him and saved us.

God bless,

Terry, may CHRIST IN US grace us with HIS wisdom and HIS understanding.

There is only ONE LIFE, and that life is CHRIST.

Ezekiel 18:4 Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine, the soul that sinneth (believes not that Jesus come to destroy DEATH and the GRAVE and replace it with LIFE (CHRIST), IT SHALL DIE.

In Christ; LIFE. Not in Christ; DEATH.

Raquel. May CHRIST IN US grace us with HIS wisdom and HIS understanding.

1 Timothy 4:10 For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the SAVIOUR OF ALL MEN, specially those that BELIEVE.

1 Timothy 4:11 These things COMMAND AND TEACH.

1 Timothy 2:4 Who will have (not maybe) ALL MEN TO BE SAVED, and come to the knowledge of TRUTH (CHRIST)

1 John 4 :14 And we have seen and do testify that the Father (THE WORD) SENT the SON TO BE SAVIOUR OF THE WORLD.

Isaiah 55:11 So shall my word be that goeth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me VOID, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I SENT IT.

Revelations 15:4 ...for ALL NATIONS shall come and worship before thee...

Revelation 13:8 And all that dwell upon the earth SHALL WORSHIP HIM, whose names ARE NOT WRITTEN in the book of life of the lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

Jesus was SENT by his FATHER to be the saviour of the world; HE WILL NOT FAIL!

Hi Spencer, Amen brother! And I was reading all the comments on William's question to my 10 y.o. son and my fiancee with hairs standing up because I'm jumping up and down in the Lord. Rarely, and I mean almost never have I seen an online conversation go this way. You can feel the love and respect we all have for God and each other. I especially loved the way Heidi recognized what was wrong and responded with such humility. She recognized that she offended some (I'll be honest I was offended and I needed to reply because William is in the Word and asking what's the best place to be and Heidi's comment would have taken him somewhere else) and that could've gone alot of different ways. But Heidi chose to glorify God and to acknowledge his Word the bible as our lifeline and focus and never mentioned anything else about some other book (don't know the book so I won't comment on whether it is helpful or not). I learned something seeing her response to our comments it was very humble and the way we should all respond, and I am no longer offended thank you sister. Thank you all for your time and responses this is how a discussion between brothers and sisters should be like. Love you all in Christ. Have a great day Spencer, Sasha, Heidi, William and whoever else sees this may the Lord strengthen your inner man and may we all acknowledge the Truth in his Word.

Psalms 145:17-21 The LORD is righteous in all His ways, and holy in all His works.

The LORD is nigh unto all them that call upon Him, to all that call upon Him in truth.

He will fulfil the desire of them that fear Him: He also will hear their cry, and will save them.

The LORD preserveth all them that love Him: but all the wicked will he destroy.

My mouth shall speak the praise of the LORD: and let all flesh bless His holy name for ever and ever.

2 Corinthians 1:21-22 Now He which stablisheth us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us, is God;

Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.

Philippians 2:13-16 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of His good pleasure.

Do all things without murmurings and disputings:

That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;

Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.

After you read MATTHEW chapter 6. Verse 1 through 7

Now that you've read exactly what Jesus said .

Do the preachers, teachers, ministers, and

Television evangelist do as Christ said? Or is that the Devil starring straight into your eyes preparing you for everlasting HELL .

When nonbelievers die, are they given one more chance to believe in God? If so what scripture is that found?

Hi Sacha, it started in the fourth century, along with many other things in that century. We know one sin is no deadlier than another and "The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law". But the gift of the grace of God by the faith of Jesus Christ we will not be judged by the law.

If you pull up the eight evil thoughts it should give you the Catholic history of it. Love your posts, you keep it real; we need more of.

Asking for prayer for healing in my body and in my children body

I thought so too. Thank you.

The patriarchs are the fathers of the twelve tribes of Israel: the sons of Jacob (Israel).

Mishael,

I have never lost my Christian faith in Jesus, I have questions that you accept as sacrosanct. The Bible is not settled science, a collection of opinions, shrouded in multiple meanings. I just will not accept that Jesus would destroy his wayward children, fill their heads with torment and anguish. I question if Jesus will send souls to hell, or if it's hyperbole to control the masses from anarchy. I wonder about those who unwittingly take the mark, under duress, not knowing what they've done to protect themselves. God says He will completely blot these people out, REALLY?

Humans are not the smartest, and perhaps it might not take me that long to agree that God kills slack Christians even if He loves them to the second death. Preposterous. Everyone will rejoice with one another, ex-friend and ex-foe. What's believable, and what most refuse to believe, is God puts on His abomination of desolation and removes 2.5+ Billion people, indiscriminately. That is the mass killing I expect. It's going to be the greatest show on earth, and the dead will be resurrected at the end, recycled pure as the driven snow. The lake of fire usage doesn't matter to me too much, only just as long as everyone gets what's coming to them. It's God's business and no one knows what to expect but Him.

Good Morning. Gog is the king of his kingdom that is called Magog. In the Old Testament you will find Gog and Magog fighting against the Jews in the book of Ezekiel. Today anyone, any system, any government or church who fights against Gods people are considered enemies just like Gog was the enemy of the Jews in the past.

Good Morning. Good question. I think the fact that the last verse says that whosoever name is not in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire shows us that our souls never die.

If a Christian is celibate then their sexuality shouldnt be an issue .

please remember myself and daughters Deanna and Jessica and there families in your prayers , thank you and may God bless you all

Lauren, Jesus is saying that John is a mere mortal, and those in heaven are loftier, greater, and Holier than John by definition.
