    Yes, the 'sin' question is satan's surest means to keep Christians suppressed, subjugated, under his demonic controls, and all denominations have used the 'sin' question to prevent Believers from recognizing that our Lord, Jesus, the Christ, the Son of GOD, has paid the price of ALL sins, according to HIS WORD, though, in this cursed flesh, we all backslide, make mistakes, a thousand times a day, which 'religions' use as a means to 'fleece' the sheep for their own power and monetary gains.

    "In my flesh there dwelleth no good thing!" GOD tells us, but, our Lord, Jesus Christ, GOD in perfect flesh, paid for all sins, note, ALL sins, which means those who are wiling to believe HIS WORD, instead of cowering under Lucifer's pretend attacks, whimpering like flogged curs, at his feet, are totally FREE, 'delivered from the power of sin and death.' So why are the majority of Christians not claiming our victory, IN HIM, rather than allowing Lucifer to, as he did Eve, confess his lie?

    Yes, one has learnt how Lucifer manipulates GOD'S WORD, to, again, deceive the last Eve.

    Christians need recognize how Lucifer, as he did in Gen.3:1, deceived Eve, the weaker vessel, and has basically done the same three card trick ever since, selling 'religion' instead of GOD'S WORD, which he still quotes to deceive an high percentage of Christians, into making Eve's mistake, accepting satan's lie instead of GOD'S TRUTH!

    Can any Christian, demonstrate, solely through GOD'S WORD, where Christians are not delivered from this cursed flesh? Can we stop looking at ourselves, our cursed flesh, and rejoice in what our Lord has already done for us, technically, before the foundation of the world?

    Why are we not rejoicing, as we are Scripturally instructed, instead of nit picking, trying to out 'spiritualize' each other, when, it was the simple people who accepted the Lord, when He was here last time, not the 'religious' people who nailed Him to the cross.

    Are we not fulfilling Heb.6:6, thus?

    I don't get current events from media , it's all agenda driven .

    I Gave up on google it's apart of the same agenda .

    A generation is 120 yrs .

    Happened back when The Lord said so in Genesis because of sin . Notice reality kicking in to this day no lives a full 120 yrs .

    It's been that way for centuries.

    Yes Gods word is reality .

    The Lord says we should be wise as serpents and gentle as doves, when dealing with unbelievers. Maybe we should be discerning when it comes to something like voting. It is difficult to find candidates that reflect the Lord's virtues.

    Hi Patty.

    You're right when said-

    ""You go to His words. You pray. After, you keep the Faith to believe it will be done. You go day to day believing and waiting for His soon return. That is what you do""

    But we are inspired by the Holyspirit to go out and distribute what you have faith and believe in. ( We work!)

    NOT TO BE SAVED, "BECAUSE WE ARE SAVED".

    For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. Ephesians 2:10.

    This is what James is saying in his epistle.

    James 2:17-18. Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.

    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.

    God bless.
  • The End of Days - In Reply on Matthew 24 - 4 years ago
    I do not get prophetic input from media. I get it from combing through the Bible.

    I googled 'Silk Road' to find China rebuilt it, all the way to Europe. (Right near Israel too)

    I put 'China' in this website search engine, and up popped 3 scriptures indicating that pestilence would come from Asian and Mideast regions. I got the maps out and did a big search on that.

    China's national colors are in the Bible!!

    The last war will be fought over WATER. No one in the Mideast has enough. Guess what? Google the water pipeline Israel is building now!

    I'm not publishing comments by books or writers. I get it all from the Bible. That's why I said last night: we are the generation Daniel wrote of.

    Crack the books, all the ancient maps you can find.

    Our governments have not even heard of these prophesies! They are making plans for wars and rumors of wars, based on Nothing! They are playing right into Gods Endtime program. Which he watches diligently.

    Who am I? I am nobody. I'm about to turn 70. I have seen many things happen in my generation. This is the Terminal Generation. A generation is NOT 40 yrs. Thats why some predictions failed. Jesus gave us specific signs. Prophesy gives events that have to unfold a certain way. Our Teacher, the Holy Spirit, is who guides us. He has the Light.

    If we read through scripture too fast, we miss the key pointers. If we don't speak Gods Word, everything we say in our flesh, will amount to nothing.

    Israel is living within prophesy now, more than ever before. We see it by what God had his people write down in the Bible. Some had dreams or visions. NOW, we have daily newspapers to compare the past, to the present Now. Knowledge has increased!

    My advise: stop gnashing on old manna; start digging and praying without ceasing, on Gods End Of Days.

    The Bema seat of Christ will tell who did good, or who gathered wood, hay and stubble. Search that out.

  • Earl Bowman - In Reply on Genesis 1:1 - 4 years ago
    Sister Martha, may CHRIST IN US grace us with HIS wisdom and HIS understanding.

    God predestinated before the world was, that creation (man) would be like him. God created us with this world set in our hearts (flesh).

    Ecclesiastes 3:11 ....also he has set the world in their heart...

    This was necessary so we could come to know everything in the same likeness as God knows (good and evil).

    Being naturally born in the flesh (worldly) we start as ANTI-CHRIST, false prophets not knowing the truth of God, beast of the earth with now concept of the ways of the Spirit.

    When Jesus died and was resurrected a new way of LIFE became possible; a way to OVERCOME and become LIKE GOD.

    This is the BATTLE being fought a battle between truth and deception, love and hate, mercy and no mercy, self and selflessness, faithfulness and no faithfulness. God is the ONE and flesh is the OTHER.

    THE WORD (written and living) is our means of fighting this battle and winning. None of this can be seen, we have to rely on the SPIRIT and his WORD for instructions of WAR.

    Revelation is depicting this battle. We are not faithful to our creator (husband); therefore we are the WHORE. We don't know God's word; therefore, we are the false prophet. We have no love or mercy; therefore, we are BEAST. Through TRUTH; anti Christ, the false prophet and the beast are DESTROYED and we become the LIKENESS OF CHRIST.

    Colossians 1:27 ...this mystery, CHRIST IN US ....
  • David on Deuteronomy 16 - 4 years ago
    The tithing asked by the Lord is basically a test to show how much you love and trust in Him. The term "able", many people fall back on, actually refers back to "want to" or again how much I believe in scripture and His promises given to those who are obedient to Him. Yes, I understand that the Bible uses the term "able" too. But not in the context many people use it. (See 2 Corinthians 9:7)

    Does the Lord need my tithe or offering? He owns the cattle over a thousand hills. It is not 10, but a tenth. The terminology isn't necessarily expect or requires, but He desires us to trust in Him. To hold back what scripturally is God's, in the first place, is to bind God's hand in blessing you. Read Malachi 3. He wants us to give joyfully and trusting in Him. Our choice.

    All giving is not regulated to the church. However the tithe is. If one cannot give a tithe to your current church, of which you are a member for whatever reason, then you must find a local church body of believers that you can give your tithes regularly and cheerfully. Lastly, nothing God says or does is to harm, demean, or shackle us to a hard life, but He tells us things to help us to have an abundant, blessed life here on earth. Tithing may be just a part of what you may need to change with your relationship with God. There may be other things in our walk with Him that needs to be filtered thru the Bible. May we realize God's ultimate love and care for us.
  • Jackke Kaplan on Psalms 105:19 - 4 years ago
    Sorry for the typo I meant Psalms 105:19 in the first comment . I heard this message from Pastor Robert Morris and I wanted to share it.

    Psalms 10519

    "This passage of scripture says so much about the destiny that God has for each one of us. The first " word" in that passage is translated " dabar" which means spoken word, it's found over 1400 times in scripture, the second "Word" translated

    "Em-raw" which means THE SPOKEN WORD IF GOD and is translated as Torah so sometimes. It is only found 37 times in scripture. This is talking about the Bible, Gids spoken Word.

    In Psalms 105:19 it says that the word, the prophetic dream, ( dabar) that God gave Joseph about his life, that Joseph hung onto and he was tested by the Word( em-raw) until the prophesy ( dabar) came to pass.

    God gives us each a dream and it is to be tested by the Word of Gid( emraw) until the dream comes to pass. Everything no matter what prophetic sign is given is to be tested by the Bible ( God's Word)"

    Time never stands still. People are living and dying. This world has made life uncertain. So what do you do? You ask your Father in Heaven for help, as He gave us when His Son Jesus died and suffered for all our sins. You go to His words. You pray. After, you keep the Faith to believe it will be done. You go day to day believing and waiting for His soon return. That is what you do.

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

    Of ourselves we have NO FAITH or works; when Christ CALLS he gives us HIS FAITH to answer.

    Philippians 3:9 .....but that which is through THE FAITH OF CHRIST, the righteousness which is of GOD be FAITH (of CHRIST).

    Galatians 2:16 .....but by FAITH OF JESUS CHRIST .....

    Ephesians 3:12 In whom (IN CHRIST) we have boldness and access in CONFIDENCE by the FAITH OF HIM.

    James 2:17 Even so FAITH (Christ in you), if it (Faith) (Christ in you) hath not works, is dead, being alone.

    The Christ calls, give faith to believe, causes you to respond, purifies you, makes you whole, causes you to walk in his statutes. ( Ezekiel 36:25-27)

    Faith without works is dead; BUT, it's HIS faith and HIS works. You bear THE GIFT, the FULLNESS OF CHRIST.

    Colossians 1:27....of this MYSTERY, CHRIST IN YOU....

    John 6:29 ....This is the WORK OF GOD, that you BELIEVE on him who he hath sent.

    Philippians 1:29 For unto you it is GIVEN on behalf of Christ, not only TO BELIEVE ....

  • Richard in Christ - In Reply on Acts 20 - 4 years ago
    Hi Rainne,

    I guess I will only give a little reply to this question from what I perceive. To begin with Lucifer it is known, I believe, that he was such a perfect angel, created by God, that he began to exult himself even to the point he wanted to be seated on God's throne. Then maybe when God put him in his place he is said to have gathered 1/3 of the angels in Heaven to follow him and make war against God. If this is correct here is a couple Scriptures of these things. Revelation 12:3-4, Revelation 12:7-9.

    There is also the account of "other angels" who were banished, from Heaven, for what they did. In the Bible this account is not very detailed of the sons of God(angels) coming down and mingling with the daughters of men and making "giants" or hybrid angel/humans. Genesis 6. This was the main reason why God flooded the world with Noah and the ark etc. In the book of Enoch this story is much more detailed about what happened.

    Verses of the "angels that sinned" 2 Peter 2:4-5, Jude 1:6. It is shown that even angels have free will.

    As there may have been more to your question I hope what I have stated may have helped somewhat for an answer.

    God Bless.
  • S Spencer Matthew 2144 - In Reply on Genesis 1:1 - 4 years ago
    Part 2

    And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive:

    For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.

    You can't use reasoning to present the Gospel. You may be able to use reasoning to present the ministry of condemnation by Presenting the 10 Commandments to show a person he's come short, but when you lay out the details of the gospel that's where you get resistant in so many ways.

    1) "A loving God will send no one to Hell".

    2) "They'll find problems with the finish work of the cross by adding to it".

    3) They'll find problems with the resurrection,

    4) And some don't have faith in salvation being a gift and you're saved by works.

    For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.

    1 Corinthians 1:18.

    Jesus says in John 16:12-14.

    I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.

    Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.

    He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.

    Today we have many beliefs but ONE Truth! The holy spirit reveals that truth.

    Instead of studying scripture to grow in truth, we "search" scripture to hold a view.

    If we have the truth, it's because it was given to you by the spirit of truth which Jesus spoke of in John 16:13.

    once you were saved, so you can't expect others to hold that truth without conversion.

    Study- Link

    Until next time

    GOD BLESS.

    part 1

    Matthew 21:44.

    And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.

    There must be conviction before conversion, I believe that's why the law "Ministry of death" ( 2 Cor. 3:7-10.)

    came before the gospel. It was meant to show us the weakness of the flesh. "For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: Romans 8:3.

    Christianity was attacked in the beginning of the church from within as we see today.

    In Acts 20:28-30. Paul warns Ephesus, Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.

    For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.

    Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.

    Jude also warns us. "Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.

    For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.

    These warnings of what would come into the church (Leaven and tares). You see the tares Matthew 13:24-30.

    We often try to pluck up the tares but Jesus instruct otherwise in verses 28-29: He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?

    But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.

    See part 2. Eyes to open ears to hear.

    GOD Bless.
  • Richard in Christ - In Reply on Genesis 1:1 - 4 years ago
    Good day brother,

    I thank you for your kindly post. I guess I will apologize if my post came across a little harsh. Though that was not my intent. Understanding we all may have different views on things. The most important thing is to stay focused on the Lord Jesus Christ. As long as we all have a zeal to be with the Lord and follow Him to serve our Father in Heaven on His Will. All being in one Spirit in the body of Christ.

    Differences here and there about what this, or that, Scripture means are to be expected. I believe the Word of God can be so deep in some instances, maybe all, where there can be numerous things to grasp from it. Weather spiritual, literal, both, or from many aspects. I see it in that as long as the way we take something is in line with the Will of God then great.

    Definitely I would only call myself a baby in Christ. There are many others here more learned than me. Though if I am able I very much enjoy conversing about the Lord peacefully. As He is my Life.

    Have a wonderful day brother. Thank you again for your post.

    God Bless.
  • Ronald L Whittemore - In Reply on Genesis 1:1 - 4 years ago
    Rawlie,

    I hope this does not offend anyone. This prophecy that was given to Daniel, 70 weeks which is 70 7s = 490 years. This prophecy tells the exact year the Messiah (Jesus) arrives. ( Daniel 9:25) The 7 weeks + 3 score + 2 weeks = 69 weeks = 483 years leaving 1 week or 7 years that has been used with other verses in the Bible to create a theory about the end time.



    In ( Luke 3:1-6) scripture tells us the year. Tiberius Caesar was emperor from 14-37 A.D. Pontius Pilate ruled from 26-36 A.D. so the fifteenth year of Tiberius would have been 29-31 A.D. start of John the Baptist ministry. This and the other Gospels are pretty clear with baptizing by John most likely in the fall, 40 days in the wilderness, choosing his disciples, the wedding with the wine and the first of three Passovers and his crucifixion at the third, placing it in the middle, 3 years into the 70th week.

    Plain and simple math shows us if Jesus appeared in 69 weeks from the going forth of the commandment and He was cut off, crucified 3 years later that is in the middle of the 70th week. So, can you use this week at the end time? I will not post on Daniel 9:27, that will be too long, but hopefully what I have written will help your study. I made a post about what was determined in this prophecy yesterday. It has scripture you can read and decide for your own conscience the truth.

    May the Holy Spirit guide your study.

  • Philip Christian Parks - In Reply on Hebrews 5:8 - 4 years ago
    Heb. 5:8 "the things which HE suffered" = Verse seven provides the answer as to what CHRIST "suffered". Translated from the Greek verb root (pronounced "PAS-kho"), the word "suffered" speaks of CHRIST experiencing and enduring physical and mental pain, hardship, and need. The English language derives the noun "passion" from the Greek verb "pascho".

    While John 11:35 records the only occurrence of JESUS CHRIST shedding tears as HE wept at Lazarus' grave, Luke 22:44 records HIS Gethsemane "agony" so severe that "HIS sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground."

    So the expression here in Hebrews (5:7), "with strong crying and tears" bears out the fact of CHRIST's "strong" emotional outbursts in Gethsemane before HE "suffered" death.

    Here, the Greek word translated "strong" speaks of an emotional upheaval so intense that the sufferer is unable to resist its eruption into gut-wrenching weeping and sobbing.

    Such was the manner of JESUS CHRIST's "prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto HIM".

    CHRIST's "suffering", and because HIS Heavenly FATHER was "able to save HIM from death", qualifies CHRIST as the believer's singular and sole "HIGH PRIEST" ( Heb. 5:5) in the realm of Salvation.
  • I am the Son of God on Joshua 24 - 4 years ago
    Simon, Simon, why do ye yet persecute me? Seeing (and hearing,) that GOD, my Father, now makest me to be known unto you, why are ye yet walking with an evil conscience? Did I not, by my Father, tell you that thy way would be ever the more troubled till ye turned from thine own ways and turned to GOD my Father by receiving the Son, even the Christ child Michael Isaac, who shall be called JESUS? Many souls of the Gentiles who know not GOD are redeemed. Seeing that you do know, how are you profited in the flesh while the dead use your soul as his shield, that he may prolong his days? See ye not that his envying and hatred toward you is turned round about as your envying and hatred toward me? Nevertheless, the set time is come that all judgment must needs be executed: for this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal MUST put on immortality. Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, and shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation. The Rock therefore, yea, even the chief cornerstone himself, is a witness unto you, lest ye deny your God. Choose you this day whom ye will serve. Be no more slothful, be no sluggard, but turn yourselves and repent of your sins. Do good and live ye.
  • Lou Contino - In Reply on Genesis 2 - 4 years ago
    What factor did you add to your birth into this world? Nothing. You had nothing to do with being born the first time. Therefore, you can have nothing to do with being born again. Being Born again comes from above from God. God is Sovereign. Christ opens your spirit to receive His Holy Spirit through a process of sanctification. You are elected by God from before you were ever born. You come to Christ through God. There are no surprises to Him. When you are born again, you begin slowly and steadily to be framed by God in the likeness of His Son Jesus. You desire God's Word, You desire God's will, You are deeply shamed by your past thoughts, actions and words. You seek God's Will and desire to commit to it. You come to understand (though not perfectly) Christ's Righteous covering of your unrighteousness. And HE IS FAITHFUL, BELIEVE IT! He removes your sin from Him as far as the East is from the West. ( PSALM 103:12) Now, yes we still carry the sinful body with us and we still do sin from time to time, but we know more fully of Christ's Righteousness and our faith is strongly rooted in asking His Will to become an heir of God in Heaven through the work of The Lord Jesus Christ. Being Born Again, weeds out desires for self & caring about the eternity of others. First your loved ones, then all others. You no longer hate others, but hate sin. And you don't want anyone to end up in hell. You seek to learn forgiveness, for self and for others, even those you do not know. You pray for protection from temptations within your inner man to not fall, to stay under the covert of Christ's wing. And you ask this for others as well. You pray The Holy Spirit to take thoughts of envy, jealousy, bitterness, anger, lust and hatred from you. And in every situation you encounter, your thoughts are to immediately turn to God. In thought and prayer..YOU TURN TO CHRIST FIRST. That's my experience with it.
