    Hi Mike,

    As of coarse I can only speak for myself on this. I will never take that "vaccine" no matter what they try to do to force it on people. Looking over a count only in the USA over 50million people have been fully vaccinated and about 100million people have at least taken one shot or partial "vaccination". And that's only in just over three months. Even being the survival rate, if someone gets the so called "virus", is around 99%. Also nobody gets a normal cold or flu anymore, it's only this "virus" now.

    I would say trust in God and Jesus Christ with all your heart.

    God Bless.

    I also have periods of depression, especially during certain times of the year. Ask the Holy Spirit to show you how to lift yourself out of it. Pray. Ask Him to search your heart for any sins that you haven't asked forgiveness for. Cast the depression at Jesus's feet for He does care for you. You might sing, or read a favorite part of the Bible. Or get busy with housework or a hobby. Visit or call someone. Do something to help yourself. I WILL INDEED PRAY FOR YOU.

    Wally,

    I agree that the bible uses the word sleep or sleepeth as a term for death. It is the physical body that is put in the grave and the physical body lying there gives the appearance of a person sleeping. We know that Lazarus was dead for a few days and Jesus said he was sleeping. So yes, sleep does refer to death, physical death.

    However, there is a living spirit/soul in everyone that departs the physical body upon death. The physical body goes into the grave but the soul departs immediately.

    You mention that "The Bible clearly states that there will be those who are thrown into the Lake of Fire which is symbolic of total, complete, elimination, never to be seen again."

    I say those who are cast into the Lake of Fire are those who were not part of the first resurrection. When you say elimination, do you mean the same as annihilation? My understanding is that those who are cast into the lake of fire will neither be eliminated nor annihilated, but will suffer for eternity.

    I do believe that when a believer dies (Physical death) their soul immediately is in the presence of the Lord. You say that a person "does not go directly to Heaven or Hell, nor anywhere for that matter, but the grave? But then add that the grave is Hell." That sounds contradicting. If they don't go to Heaven or Hell, but you say the grave is Hell, where do they go?

    Paul said to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. Where's the Lord? Jesus dying on the cross told the man on the cross next to Him that today you will be with me in paradise. That man died. Where did he go? Paradise doesn't sound much like Hell to me.

    Your advice on reading the Holy Bible is great advice. It's how we grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. As far as a 501C3 preacher goes, I do not know what that is? I do know that there are some great pastors/bible teachers out there. But, as the Bereans did, we are to search the scriptures to see if those things line up!

  • Richard in Christ - In Reply on 1 Kings 13 - 4 years ago
    Hello Christina,

    Here are a couple verses for you: Matthew 8:16, Matthew 8:28-32, Matthew 9:32-33, Mark 1:23-26, Mark 1:34,

    Mark 1:39, Mark 5:2-13, Mark 7:25-30, Luke 4:33-36, Luke 4:41, Luke 11:14.

    Some may be of the same account just a different book.

    God Bless.
  • Jesse - In Reply on Matthew 27:54 - 4 years ago
    There is a place called Hades that Jesus went to for three days and three nights. And in Hades, there were compartments, as we know from Luke Chapter 16. The Old Testament saints were there on one side, and those who rejected were on the other side and were in torment.

    So Jesus, when He dismissed His Spirit on the cross, He went down and proclaimed the victory. And when He rose from the dead, many of the Old Testament saints appeared, and they revealed themselves to many in Jerusalem.

    According to 1 Corinthians Chapter 15, we know that Jesus revealed Himself to people for 40 days. At one time, 500 people, as witnesses to the resurrection of Christ.

  • Carleton - In Reply on John 3:13 - 4 years ago
    Not sure about Lazarus being dead nor the rich man nor Father Abraham in the story told by the Son of God. There was complete separation between Lazarus in the comfort of the bosom of Abraham and the rich man. We also know the rich man was of thirst and willing for any possible chance of recovery. If no recovery was possible at least a warning to his brethren who thought they understood their place in Abraham like he did when he was alive in the flesh. The gulf between the eternal blessing upon Lazarus and the eternal separation thereof of the rich man is the difference between heaven and hell. The body (flesh) of Jesus was crucified unto death for us if we can be that one whom the dogs licked the sores of by the gate.

    Hi Wally58,

    So it's seeming that you know everything about after this life in your post? What would you say to all the people who have had NDE experiences and have been dead. Experiencing things like Jesus Christ, a Heavenly place, others who were deceased, a Hell like place of darkness, out of body experiences, etc? Miracles coming back to life. Some of these people being atheist and this is what converted them to the Lord. I have met one personally myself. Would you just call them all liars?

    What would you say to me about all my experiences that most in this world, probably you as well, probably would not believe? After giving my life to Jesus Christ.

    So you do not believe in the resurrection of Christ?

    God makes the rules not men and no preacher taught me anything. The Holy Ghost is my teacher.

    God Bless.

  • Richard in Christ - In Reply on Genesis 2 - 4 years ago
    Hello Janoyce,

    Just to expand a little more to the truth S Spencer shared with you. As recently someone had a question similar to yours. The Love of God, Jesus Christ, is beyond what we can imagine. What I perceive as more important to ask is "do I love Jesus Christ"?

    God is Holy and hates sin. To repent from the sins of this world, giving your life to Him, and live to do His Will is very important. I will just leave a couple Scriptures for you showing how important it is for us to love Him with all our heart, soul, and mind. Our love for Him shall not be forgotten.

    Deuteronomy 7:9, Deuteronomy 10:12-13, Psalms 31:23, Psalms 97:10, Psalms 145:20, Proverbs 8:17, John 14:21,

    James 1:12, James 2:5,

    God Bless.

    Please pray for my mother's repentance from the occult. She believes that it is okay, since she is not using her "power" against anyone. Also, please pray for me as well. I have a problem with staying calm in the face of this adversity so close to my heart. After being mad this morning, I felt the urge to read some of the Bible verses pertaining to the occult, and my mother picked up her phone and looked to be ignoring me once the Bible came directly into the conversation.

    Where in the Bible does Jesus perform an exorcism
  • Jesse - In Reply on Revelation 12 - 4 years ago
    Maria,

    My understanding is that the woman represents Israel, and the child is Christ. My reason for believing that the woman is Israel and the child is Christ comes from Genesis Chapter 37, the story of Joseph and his brothers, where we get the sun and the moon, and the twelve stars.

    The sun and moon represented his parents, and the 12 stars represented the twelve tribes of Israel. This is referring to the nation Israel. And the Messiah was prophesied to come through Israel.

    Revelation 12:5 gives us the description of the male child: It says "And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron:" That's the Messiah in Psalm Chapter 2 Verses 8 and 9. And then it goes on to say that her child was caught up unto God. That's the ascension. And to His throne!

    And then Revelation 12:6 tells us that the woman (Israel/Jews) fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days, or 3-1/2 years.

    Many believe that this is the rock city of Petra that is already supplied with food out in the wilderness, so that when those who are sealed by God, the 144,000 especially, they will have a place to go.

    Dahg,

    Thank you so much for pointing that out. I know very little Hebrew so I did learn some as I did a little research on the Hebrew meaning of Har. As you mentioned, it does refer to either a mountain or a hill, not a valley. I also understand that the battle of Armageddon will take place in the valley of Meggido. Surrounding this valley is a group of small hills. Many OT battles took place in this same valley.

    I would be interested in you sharing more on this if you wish to. Mainly, is there an actual mountain called Mt. Megiddo?

    Thanks again for the clarification!

  • Ron - In Reply on Acts 1 - 4 years ago
    What is so sad the world has such a grip; people do not even take the time to read, much less study the Bible. They put their souls in the hands of man and walk blind and deaf. Many live in a routine, listen to feel good sermons taking the word of a wolf in sheep's clothing.

    They called it the resurrection day which now is called Easter. It was on the Feast of First Fruits one of the three Feasts they were required to have in Jerusalem. It was the first day after the Sabbath following Passover, it was in the middle of the Feast of Unleavened Bread. Now it has no relation to that day.

    2 Corinthians 11:13-15 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.

    2 Peter 2:1-3 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. 2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. 3 And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.

    May the scriptures with the guidance of the Holy Spirit lead our way. Ron
  • Michael - In Reply on 2 Samuel 6:21 - 4 years ago
    In the preexistence Lucifer did not become jelaous at once.

    Jealousy is a progress and initially not necessary evil.

    When jealousy increases and pride increases evilness may become the fruits thereof

    The Bible says there was a War In Heaven and that the Dragon and one third of the Stars

    were cast out.

    Therefore we can assume in the great heaven that evilness started to grow due to Lucifers

    first non good intentions.
  • S Spencer - In Reply on Genesis 2 - 4 years ago
    Hi Janoyce.

    God IS Love, He's also Holy, He's also Just, He's also Truth.

    None of these attributes fails him.

    and they all play an equal role in our salvation.

    God Loves us so he provided us a sacrificial Lamb. "Jesus"

    And He's Just!!!

    Tho he Loves us, that doesn't void hi justice, A Christian WONT continue in sinful "practices"

    John 14:6 (KJV) Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

    He's Holy and Truth, so he sent us his Spirit to create in us a NEW Heart. "The Holyspirit"

    1 Corinthians 13:4-8 (KJV) Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,

    Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;

    Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;

    Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.

    Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.

    God is Love but He's also Holy, ang Judge righteously.

    Hope that helps.
