The Sabbath was made for "MAN" .. Quit trying to put your religious bent into that. Just rest one day a week. Some people work on a Sat or Sunday. Is it good to do good on a Sabbath. Jesus answered that !

People were instructed to let portions of there land rest on the 7th year. You have to ask yourself why ???? Thus the Sabbath is for us. To rest, to replenish. Etc.

What was if like before God separated the light from the darkness? Looks like there was light and darkness at the same time.

Your comment sounds like an attack on Christians who believe the Bible. Why do you post such a thing on a Bible website and what is your goal? To unite or divide?

Christians believe Jesus is God because the Bible clearly says He's God. Is that reason enough? John 1:1 flat out says it. So, so all the scriptures below that even children read and understand. It needs no creative interpreting, needs no progressive pastor to interpret, just literally what it says. Jesus being God doesn't mean He's God the Father, but God the Son. God became a man and died for you, do you believe Him?

Claiming that Christians who read the scriptures and believe are somehow just 'Americans' or 'Catholics' seems like a disingenuous attack on Christians. Labeling and dividing and lying is what I've seen done to make such anti-Christ arguments. Anyone who does this is on extremely dangerous ground. Anyone who tries to spread anti-Christ lies should be ashamed of themselves.

1 John 2:22-24

"Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also. Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father."

Imagine what great courage it took for Moses and Aaron to appear before Pharaoh and deliver God's message. Jehovah God can give us the courage we need to accomplish his purpose.

2Pet. 3:3; scoffers = Psalm 1:1 implies sinners progress in their ever-increasing depravity until they become scoffers in their final state.

Scoffers scornfully and maliciously mock GOD, HIS SON The LORD JESUS CHRIST, GOD's Word, GOD's people, and all GODly matters to bring disgrace and contempt. These have evolved in their lifestyles for so long, they no longer fear GOD.

Because JESUS CHRIST has not yet returned as promised, scoffers believe HE will not come again at all. The very existence of scoffers proves these are "the last days" (Jude v.18).

The reader could argue that these scoffers compose a more blatant and aggressive group than the more private "false teachers who privily shall bring in damnable heresies" ( 2Pet. 2:1). As followers and adherents of false teachers, these scoffers voice their ridicule more publicly.

These less than subtle scoffers are "walking after their own lusts" partly because they swallow the "cunningly devised fables" (1:16) and the "damnable heresies" (2:1) of the false teachers (2:1) and have become the "twofold more the child of hell" described by CHRIST ( Mt. 23:15). See also John 8:44, Acts 13:10, and 17:5.

Scoffers deride those who believe Scriptural prophecies regarding CHRIST's Second Coming by declaring that since CHRIST has not yet returned, that is proof HE will not return (v.4).

Their derisive question regarding "the promise" (v.4) voices their mockery of CHRIST WHO promised a Second Coming that HE cannot fulfill. Not only do scoffers mock the prophecies of the prophets, but they also mock CHRIST HIMSELF WHO prophesied of HIS own Second Coming ( Jn. 14:2, 28). Scoffers' denial of CHRIST's Second Coming will not hinder HIS Coming for "The LORD is not slack concerning HIS Promise" (v.9). See also verse ten where Peter emphasized, "But the Day of The LORD will come."

In the end, GOD will mock and laugh at the scoffers ( Ps. 2:4; 37:13; 59:8; Pro. 1:25-26).

Verse 14 shows that the Israelites were in agreement with God's direction and laws and they even thought it sounded good. They failed to obey these laws though.

Verse 19 shows that Jehovah God took the initiative in showing love to us and in return we learn how to love.

I need a prayer request for my supervisor cammy she has been picking with me and lying & bullying me and she keeps writing me up because of jealousy because i dont want to become her friend and it is making me uncomfortable since i been on the job for 7 months i need favor with a new supervisor that's humble and know how to treat employees and they are promoting employees i need a prayer for a promotion i got hired under the new administration during this pandemic also a prayer for my daughter asiah for her diagnosis for autism with spectrum to be healed from her body and also for her to start talking and a prayer for my mom divorce to hurry because he was dangerous her ex-husband justice and blessings on her end thanks God bless

In imitation of Christ Jesus we must develop deep love for our brothers and sisters. When we develop the deep love that Jesus had, we will be willing to die for our brothers and sisters.

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

Israel in the Old Testament was dispersed among all the nation of the world. Judea was left so Jesus lineage could be confirmed to be the natural seed of David. Today none can trace their lineage back to Abraham. ISRAEL today (those born again of the Spirit of God) is the promised SEED of Isaac (his name was changed to Israel) (CHRIST IN US).

Romans 2:29 But he is a Jew, which is one INWARDLY (Christ in you); and circumcision is of the HEART, in the Spirit, and not in the letter (flesh) .....

Romans 9:6 ...for they are not all Israel, which are of Israel.

The kingdom promised to ISRAEL (CHRIST) is not a literal kingdom that can be seen with eyes; but a kingdom of priest (Christ in you). These battles prophesied in scripture are not literal but in the Spirit.

Jesus said before he comes there would be literal wars, literal earthquakes, literal famines and literal pestilence. This has been happening for 2000 years and Jesus has been COMING to those who look for him 2000 years. Jesus said that it would be like the days of Noah. They knew not till the doors on the ark were CLOSED. The ark could have saved them; Jesus is our ark. Man is looking for all things to be literal and all of a sudden DESTRUCTION (you die; the grave is your reward, the doors to the ark are closed). Most will miss Christ coming; because they are looking for something literal, when the BATTLE and BIRTH are SPIRIT. There will continue literal wars, literal earthquakes, literal famines and literal pestilence until the age we are in ENDS and the next age BEGINS.

Hebrews 9:28 So Christ was ONCE (Christ ministered in the flesh) offered to bear the sins of many; and unto those WHO LOOK FOR HIM he shall appear the SECOND TIME (IN THE SPIRIT) without sin UNTO SALVATION.

I come like a thief in the night; if you would have seen the thief, he would not have DESTROYED you house.

where does the bible refer to "then I will return the giants". speaking of the end times.

Amen Jesse.

Thanks that truth of scripture.

God bless you

Without looking it up, what was Jesus' last miracle?

This translation of Ezekiel 3 is not translated totally correctly nor clearly. It is a very clear text by Artscroll.

Ezekiel chapter 3, verse 21 by Artscroll Stone edition Tanach: But you, if you did warn him, the righteous man, that the righteous man SHOULD not sin and he DID NOT sin; he will surely live because HE WAS CAREFUL. And as for you, YOU WILL HAVE SAVED YOUR SOUL.

Basically your past good deeds will not be remembered if you start to act corruptly and die because of it. If you turn away and stop sinning, you will save yourself. The righteous man does not sin. It will take a long time to learn not to sin any longer, but it is possible and has been done by many.

A person, who often sins is corrupted and not a righteous man. It is terrible if you murder somebody daily basis! You should stop murdering completely and murder no longer! Seriously! That was an example from a sin and I can not call a man righteous who keeps murdering people even though as rarely as once every year. I expect a righteous man not to murder a single person ever again!!!

Of course it is hard to learn to sin no more and to stay righteous especially if you are not careful and if your upbringing was all wrong and nobody is supporting you and forcing you to sin with them like what happens in so many religious communities. It takes time to learn the righteous ways. And because so few believe in righteous life, so few even try to learn it let alone be careful not to sin any longer, but it is not impossible. Remember Enoch. At least I have faith and believe that one day I will learn to live fully righteously. It is a command to live righteously and to stop daily and constant sinning.

English is not my language so I do not fully grasp it yet. Sorry for mistakes in the text.

Have a great day :)!

Stewart,

Did you know The Beatles said they were bigger than Jesus. Is that where you got the 1+1+1 = 3 Hold him in your ams and you can feel his disease (antichrist).

Please i need prayer for my son Tony to come back to Christ and be healed of Diabectes that developed last year.And also for the Biafra land. God bless you all.

Hello Ronald,

That scripture is accurate......or is it?

When you go through all the particular subject matter, you will find blistering contradictions that are enough to make you shake your head. What is the meaning of this perpetual catch 22? In my humble opinion, such mistakes cheapens the Word of God. I shouldn't have to bend over backwards to defend an obvious editing error; it makes me look foolish.

Bless you

How to remember scripture? I am a former drug addict and find reading and comprehension not compatible in the real sense. I think I am not learning as I I should?

I wonder is this how the Holy Spirit works? Is this how the spirit breaks down the fleshly way of thinking?

The real stories in the bible I learned as a child, but still must be reminded of them even now! If we do not read the word, there would be no refreshing of the knowledge of the truth!

Strength and perseverance, come from Hearing the word! U may memorize it all u want, If it does not abide in your heart, it will be as the flower that dies and fades away! Knowing Jesus is the heart of the matter, gaining insight of who He is, and His love for man , is what you should memorize!

Remember This! He hung on a cross for the world!

Sacha,

I would believe your testimony, however Mary was impregnated by the Holy Ghost, making Jesus God.

If what you say is true, then Jesus should be mocked for being a straw man. How can you fully respect someone who is a fraud, someone who was handed everything? That could have been me, or anyone God picked to play Messiah. Whatever the case, lets just get on with it till it's over.

please pray for Kristie and myself today , pray the Lord give Kristie the strength and courage to do and say what she must that is before her , pray the Lord removes the walls that separate once and for all ,pray i hear from her today

does the bible name whom the others were who was casting out demons (In the name of Jesus)? The disciples made a complaint to jesus in ( Mark 9:38 and luke 9:49)? Is there a more informative reference to this scripture? Thank you and have a blessed day.

Hi Eric Lopez ! Its nice to know you are still out there ,we must remember that the lessons in the Bible teach us about all humanity ,not just the bad guys ,we can all fall into sin at any time because we are imperfect humans ,the lessons are about other people yes ,but they are there to show us what can happen to us ! We all fall short of the Glory of God and when we do we must remember that no matter how badly we have behave He never stops loving us for one second ,so we must run right back to Him as fast as we can and ask His forgiveness ,sometimes when i think about the love of God and the love of Jesus my feelings of innadiquacy are enormous and overwhelming but we mustnt allow our own failings to seperate us from our God ,He wants us with Him ! Even though He knows me and all my faults He wants me with Him ! You to Eric ! He adores you !

Yes I heard that before but I don't buy it , is there proof of that happening and did Noah record it ? He was the only left and seven others .

But if you look today no one lives more than 120 yrs old even with billions of people , of course there can be exceptions.

So mans days where shorted to 120 yrs no doubt about it .

Ricky,

You could be right, but Jesus said this of the end-times:

( Matthew 24:34)

32 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:

33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors (day of the Lord).

34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.

( Revelation 8:13)

13 And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound!

The last 3 trumpets happen close to each other for a reason, and are separated from the 1st 4 trumpets. It is more feasible to count the tribulation and great tribulation (3.5 years) equal to a 40 year generation that will not pass till these things are accomplished.

God bless

The Bible ,the actuall words of God beat everything ,im not much into speculation ,though when i do do it i always know that thats what im doing . When my faith or understanding fail me i go to the actuall Bible ,not my own imagination or daydreams or the internet ,Gods words are just like Him ,unchanging . I for one am very glad and happy to rely on them as a whole .

John R Nolan ,thankyou so much for that clear concise explanation ,stay with us please ,we need your calmness and clarity .

I would say yes ,the act of having sex with another person is what seperates the marriage ,if your spouse cheats on you they have seperated themselves from you and broken the bonds of marriage ,under mosaic law you are basically divorced from each other by the act of cheating and your spouse and the person that they slept with are to be stoned to death ,as Christians we may choose to forgive and reconcile or divorce ,there was no place for forgiveness under the mosaic law .Thanks to God and Jesus we are not under that as Christians .

Chris,

You mentioned the flood. According to the dates of generations listed below, the flood was about 4,369 years ago. Does this list agree with your thinking, creation...in the ball park?

Jared became the father of Enoch at 162. Genesis 5:18 460 + 162 = 622

Enoch became the father of Methuselah at 65. Genesis 5:21 622 + 65 = 687

Methuselah became the father of Lamech at 187. Genesis 5:25 687 + 187 = 874

Lamech became the father of Noah at 182. Genesis 5:28 874 + 182 = 1056

The Flood started when Noah was 600. Genesis 7:6 1056 + 600 = 1656

Calculated BC date for creation: 4004

Calculated AM date for the Flood: -1656

Calculated BC date for the Flood: 2348

Current Year (minus one): +2021

Number of years since beginning of Flood: 4369

God bless

40 years? A Generation today is 20 years, but back then it was hundreds of years. How old was Adam and Eve when they had Seth? (And remember, they had OTHER sons and daughters AFTER Seth)...You must consider all things when considering history from a Biblical (correct) viewpoint.

You're quite right, John. I doubt if we will ever see a candidate that upholds biblical Truth & values, giving full honour to God & rejecting all that is stained with evil. If such an one even made it to office, he would either soon get shot down or never move any further. I think we will have to wait for Jesus' millenial rule from Jerusalem to see righteousness being performed & not before.
