12 Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.
13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leads to DESTRUCTION and MANY there be which go in thereat:
14 Because strait is the gate, and NARROW is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
Book of Acts 6:8
Why not read on the life of Paul. He is proof that Jesus calls the right person for the job in mind. Paul was born Jewish, educated and a Pharisee. He hooked up with the Romans, and was in town the day Stephen was about to be stoned for preaching Jesus. Paul gave the order for the stoning to begin. Before Stephen died, he saw Jesus stand up from His throne, to receive Stephen into heaven!
Paul leaves with death warrants for some more Jews. On the Damascus Road he gets knocked off his horse by the glory of Jesus. It was so light that it blinded Paul. Jesus asked him, Why Are You Persecuting ME?!
They pick Paul up and take him to the next town. Someone there prayed for Paul, and he gets his sight back. He had some days as a blind man to ponder what had happened. Later Jesus tells Paul he is sent to evangelize the Gentiles (everybody that's not a Jew)
He started out rowdy and wrong; got knocked off into the dirt. Spent 3 hrs in a desert alone with Jesus. He wasn't tall; eyes were kinda runny?
He wrote half of the New Testament. Whatever Jesus spoke, Paul preached it. He worked as a tent-maker. He was a gutsy dude.
When I saw your post, the Holy Spirit flashed this story. Has God ever tried to reach out to you?
Read Acts. Keep coming back here. I like you.

1 Corinthians 6:9-11 - Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor EFFEMINATE nor abusers of themselves with mankind, (Read More...)
Leviticus 20:13 - If a man also lie with mankind, AS he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
Romans 1:26-28 - For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the NATURAL USE into that which is against nature: (Read More...)
1 Timothy 1:10 - For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine;
Mark 10:6-9 - But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female. (Read More...)
Jude 1:7 - Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.
1 Corinthians 7:2 - Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.
1 Timothy 1:10-11 - For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine; (Read More...)
Romans 1:27 - And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
Romans 1:32 - Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
So you must be looking at 1 Timothy 9-10. "Menstealer" is the Greek word "andrapodistais" Strongs G405 with definition of " 1. a slave-dealer, kidnapper, man-stealer, a. of one who unjustly reduces free men to slavery, b. of one who steals the slaves of others and sells them, an enslaver".
For "perjured person" is the Greek word "epiorkois" Strongs G1965 with definition "1. a false swearer, a perjurer, on oath that is (falsely) a forswearer".
Where other Bibles get "practicing homosexuality" is stated in two places. 1 Corinthians 6:9 and 1 Timothy 1:10. In the KJV it is "them that defile or abuse themselves with mankind". The Greek word "arsenokoitais or arsenokoitai" Strongs G733 definition "1. one who lies with a male as with a female, sodomite, homosexual".
Also sexually immoral is "whoremongers" or "fornicator" in KJV in the same two verses as above. The Greek word "pornois" Strongs G4205 "1. a man who prostitutes his body to another's lust for hire, 2. a male prostitute, 3. a man who indulges in unlawful sexual intercourse, a fornicator".
Hope that helps.
God Bless.
Please Prayer for PAKUK financial help
My research is homosexuality, where did other Bible get practicing homosexuality. It didn't say that here on KJV. I am looking for evidence that it violates the Ten Commandments. Thanks
For the former option, my understanding is there should not be a request for payment or salary. I also understand that the role of today's pastors/teachers within a Fellowship is generally a paid position, as those serving in such a capacity also need to pay bills & have their needs met, but in the NT Church this wasn't the case. At that time, elders were appointed to lead, direct & teach their congregations from the Word & they also had their own jobs to attend to. In the case of the Apostle Paul, he worked for a living as well ministered to others ( 1 Corinthians 4:11-13; 1 Corinthians 9:6; Acts 18:1-3). As far as I know, the Brethren Assemblies & maybe some very small house Churches only follow that principle today.
Whether a preacher should accept payment as a gift: I think that would be in order to do, as the Fellowship has set aside this 'gift of thanks & appreciation' to the one who has taken the trouble to prepare & deliver God's Word to them. What the preacher does with that gift (i.e. to use it for his needs or to return it back via the offering plate) would be his choice. Again, to use Paul's example, he often received such gifts, most likely in 'kind' rather than monetary, & he saw no problem in doing so. 1 Corinthians 9:11-14; Philippians 4:10-19; 2 Corinthians 11:7-9 ("wages" (v8) allows for both a 'payment, provisions, support').
I always maintain the position, that the preacher should share the Gospel/God's Word free of charge. If he is placed in a full-time position within a Fellowship, then he can receive whatever the eldership determines, even a nominal amount. If he is an itinerant preacher, he either supports himself from his own resources or by doing other work, and fully trusts the Lord to meet his needs. And many have gone to serve overseas based on that dependence on the Lord.
Especially the part, "He's your Lord and savior.
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. John 14:6.
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.
GOD IS LOVE, BUT HE IS ALSO JUST AND HOLY.
God doesn't save us by his love.
Love is by the means he sent us a savior.
God also doesn't compromise none of his attributes,
And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man's work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear:
Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;
But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:
Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,
Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.
Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, SEE THAT YE LOVE ONE ANOTHER WITH A PURE HEART fervently: 1 Peter 1:17-22.
There's your Commandment in John 13.
and it will manifest beyond words.
Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.
James 2:18.
God bless.
You said even Hitler will be in heaven- so even the world's most evil, vile, mass murderer even gets in, according to you. But I wonder if that's just your idea or if that's 100% untrue. What if that's a lie from satan? It sure sounds the opposite of what God said.
Jesus warned his Christian followers repeatedly to avoid sin. He gave them lots of parables about separating good from bad, and how most people will go to hell, and only few people will make it to heaven. So, in your religion, if even Hitler goes to heaven, then who doesn't make it in?
In your world, if you're a Christian do you believe tonight, you can freely commit any sin you'd like with no ramifications? Adultery, immorality, sodomy, murder, lying, cheating, stealing- it's all ok? Is that really what the Bible says? My Bible doesn't say that. If you do that you're basically slapping Jesus in the face, spitting on Him, and turning your back on His grace. Shame on anyone who does this. God will fairly judge all and no one is saved until they are judged.
John 14:15
Hebrews 10:26
James 2:19
2 Corinthians 5:10
The verses that say you have an inheritance, assurance assume you're genuinely following Jesus, not following Satan!!!
i love Jesus with all my heart and soul he is my lord and savior i would never give him or the holy trinity up ever he is the reason i woke up today he is the reason i learned about the bible and the scriptures all because of Jesus. i love everything in the bible and god
hopefully this answers your question
-.-
god bless
have a great day!
Your end-time claims are not accurate.
This is the order: antichrist invades (sixth trumpet) and takes Israel captive, ( Luke 21:24). antichrist has absolute world power for 42 months to do his will. The only time God intervenes is at the last trumpet, when the mystery is over, NOT BEFORE!!!
You are getting confused with Ezekiel 38:18-23 and Ezekiel 39 (both seventh trumpet). If you match up events to trumpets, you will know the what, where and whens of the story.
hopefully that answers your question
You have fear based religion, not love. You have an "us and them" mentality when there's only "us".
The Bible uses that fear to keep you in line, make you behave a preferred way, or face eternal damnation.
If you believe God would destroy the least of his children due to inherent sin, because the Bible sometimes indicates that, you'd have to start by asking yourself "who made who" and for what purpose?
Do you think people who take the great tribulation mark of the beast, to provide for their families, deserve the lake of fire? Not everyone can measure up to the one hundred forty four thousand firstfruits, and by definition, those are the ones who get in first. Jesus died on the cross for all sin, and come judgment, no one will defy God's ransom to go their own way in hell.
When the 3 evil spirits are removed, that void is filled with love. God will change every soul by default, with perfect manners. Therefore, everyone who has ever lived will be given everlasting life, without the fear of satan. Even bogeyman Hitler, who did the Lord's will, gets in.
Magnify yourself in me oh my Lord that those who know me may come to know you!!
Magnify yourself in me oh my Lord so others can see more of you and less of me!!
