Please keep Kristie and myself in your prayers. Pray the Lord gives her the strength and courage to face what is before her. Pray the Lord remove the walls that separates once a for all.

I spoke too soon! There goes that steady goodness. It's like the movie Dark Knight when Batman says about Harvey Dent, he was suppose to be the best of us. But the devil ,(the Joker), made Solomon live long enough to become the villain. Sad chapter indeed.

It's beautiful to see King Solomon rich in gold and in wisdom. Sounds like still peace in Israel instead of going back to evil. Good to read steady goodness.

Did Solomon set the standard for people to confess their sins at the house of the Lord or was this already a practice with the tabernacle? Also the practice of praying before battle for example?

You're welcome. I'm just doing Jesus's will. He commanded us to love our neighbors, which includes everybody, friend, family, or stranger.

"Easter" is only found in the Bible once. In Acts, I think concerning James being killed and Peter in prison waiting for Roman holiday (Easter) to be over.

The Lord sprung Peter out of jail that very night!

Yay!!

The Jewish/Christian holiday we celebrate, is:

PASSOVER!!!!!!!!

It was hard for me to get bunnies and Reese eggs out of my head too...

Jesus had five half brothers, namely, James (Ya'qov), Simon (Shim'on), Judah (Yehudah), Joses (Yosef) and Thomas (Toma'). And he also had two half sisters, Rachel (Rakhel) and Lea (Le'ah).

Do not judge.

There will come a TIME when the scales come off their eyes, and ears opened to see and hear THE TRUTH; the GOSPEL.

Read the 10 Virgins parable. Born again Christians are the Bride of Christ. When the Father tells Jesus to go collect his Bride;

We are told to be looking for him! Lamps full of oil. It's a wedding, and then the Feast. It's not the 2nd coming.

Jesus's feet do not touch the earth at the time of the Caught Up In The Clouds event (some people call it Rapture).

Use the SEARCH Box when you enter this website. Type in 'Caught up in the Clouds' and you will see ALL scriptures that describe this Timing.

Jesus is not going to wait and collect his Bride AFTER the Tribulation. She will be feasting in heaven.

Other scripture says that the next time Jesus's FEET touch on EARTH, will be at the Mount of Olives, at the 2nd Coming.

Tip: quit reading drugstore Rapture books. All you need is the Bible;

And a really fast search engine like this website has. Use it.

Melchizedek was High Priest until Jesus ascended to Heaven immediately after his resurrection.

Remember he told Mary not to touch him until he had ascended to the Father in heaven? It would have defiled Him.

Jesus is our High Priest seated at the right hand of the Father, making intercession for all saints.

I would put that scripture into Google and read down the lists on commentary of it.

A vision and a dream are not the same.

A vision is seeing a scene in real time.

Commentary for 1 Corinthians 1:1

People's Bible Notes for 1 Corinthians 1:1

1Co 1:1 The Divisions in the Church Brought to Light SUMMARY OF I CORINTHIANS 1: Greetings to the Church. Thanksgiving for the Grace of God. An Exhortation to Unity. Schisms Rebuked. The Sin of Honoring Human Leaders Instead of Christ. The Preaching of the Cross the Power of God to Salvation. Not the Worldly Wise and Proud, but the Humble and Lowly. Converted. Paul, called [to be] an apostle of Jesus Christ. Some of the Judaizing teachers, who had visited the church at Corinth after the departure of Paul, in order to lessen his authority, had asserted that he was not an apostle, divinely called like the Twelve. Hence, at the beginning, he asserts his apostleship, and refers to his divine call. See 1Co 9:1 2Co 12:12. Sosthenes, [our] brother. A Sosthenes, who was then the chief ruler of the synagogue at Corinth, is named in Ac 18:17. The Sosthenes whom Paul associated with himself in the letter must have been well known to, and influential among, the Corinthians, and was probably the former chief ruler, who had been converted. Apollos, Priscilla and Aquila, all well known to the church, were at Ephesus with Paul ( 1Co 16:12,19), but Sosthenes is chosen to appear with him in the salutation.

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.

I think that pretty much gives everybody a chance to have sins forgiven and be grafted into the family of God, don't you?

Hallelujah! Mishael

Even though you are saved once, you can drift back into sin so deep without repentance you are lost again.

My opinion through Shepards Chapel.

Hello, I assume you mean Judaism- they don't believe Jesus has come yet. If you mean Jew the race then of course a % are Christians and a % are atheists and believe whatever else. Anyone who doesn't believe in and genuinely follow Jesus Christ is lost.

"And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house."

Acts 16:31

The truth shall make you free.

No Jew believes in Jesus, and they can't keep the Law. They all are lost today, is that right?

Hello JMCL,

Just to give a short reply to your question. I think what is more important to perceive is "do I love God"? God's mercy, compassion, lovingkindness, forgiveness is endless. For God is love and life. God has no pleasure in the death of the wicked and want's people to turn, repent, from their wickedness/sin and live by His Will which is Holy and pure. As said "Return to me and I will return unto you saith the Lord of hosts".

As even satan was one of His angels who turned against Him, along with many others, who are now His main adversaries.

God hates sin and those who live in willful sin are not close to Him. Although, God knows everything and that one who is a sinner today may be a saint tomorrow. The Lord searches hearts. Though many shall die in there sin and not acknowledge God or Jesus Christ.

He loves His Creation so much that He gave His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, for us. By His grace and love for us.

Keep reading the Holy Bible. Give your life to Jesus Christ if you have not already done so. Pray from the heart. The truth shall set you free.

God Bless.

Very good word and needed for me to day.

How is a reference to Corinthians 1 written?

Thanks so much.

Mark 6:3, Matthew 13:55-56, Mark 3:31-35.

Why did the scripture said the two angels were seen in a vision?

Then just looking at what came to mind on Psalms 23. In that one version, DRA 1899 version, Psalms 23 is Psalms 24 in most, or all, other Bibles. And Psalms 22 is Psalms 23 in most, or all, other Bibles. As I won't spend the time finding where that one off number started from in that version. Good note on seeing the differences though.

God Bless.

I am a paradox of sorts. I was born to a saintly mother and a troubled dad who drank to forget horrors of World War II. We were poverty stricken but we never did without. My bossy sister was 6-years older, my sweet brother was 6 years younger. My life was great until my maternal grandmother fell and broke her shoulder. Turns out she was a victim of breast cancer when I was only 6. My amazing grandpa died 9 months after she did with a broken heart.

How sad my life became! No more fancy homemade dresses from Granny. No more fairy tales from Grandpa. I became very shy. The older I got, the more shy I became until, I would turn red if someone even looked at me. My sister and I started attending the Nazarene Church with our neighbors. The only friend I had in Sunday school was a crippled girl who did not make me feel inferior. In fact I picked out all my friends by looking to see if they had a right to be shy too. (too fat, too skinny, too tall, too short) How Shallow!

By the time 2 other brothers had been born, I had decided that I wanted to help the unfortunate, the lame, the weak, the sickly. In fact I wanted to become a missionary nurse. I became a born-again Christian at about the age of 12.

As my friends at school began to fill out a little, I noticed I was the one who was tall and skinny. I became more shy than ever afraid I would never have a boyfriend, never marry . . .

After graduation from high school, I did become a registered nurse. I wanted to witness to folks on their deathbeds so they would not miss Heaven. However, my personality did a 360 degree turn. Now I thought I was pretty, just the right size, the favorite nurse of everyone, etc. I ran into some issues with some sinful boyfriends. Please dont act this way. I broke my sweet mama's heart for a while until I returned to Christ who amazingly forgave me and set me on the path toward righteousness.

Hello Bruce,

Your questioned interested me. Ecclesiastes ends at chapter 12 as you stated. The book of Ecclesiasticus, an Apocrypha book, has 51 chapters. Did you just mix them up? As they are very close in title name. Searching a little bit I did not see Ecclesiastes going past 12. Though you may have some information I don't.

Now on Psalms 23 I looked up and did find at least one version, the DRA 1899 edition, in where Psalms 23 has 10 verses but they are all, 1-10, completely different from the KJV, and most others, for that chapter of Psalms. I have no idea where that Psalms 23 came from in that version of the Bible. Interesting.

God Bless.

What was the purpose of Melchisdec? I know he is shadow and type of Christ...but why was he needed...

I preached on the rapture as a young evangelist and the pastor said after service he was post trib and didnot believe in the rapture. I did not not learn alot from that opposition but he told me something wise and that was as an evangelist preach evangelical not pastorial messages we all agree Christ will come again. So that's a sermon to unite and not divide us. Evenso Lord Jesus hurry up and come.

Who were Jesus's Brothers and sisters?

Dear fellow brethren in Christ,

Peace be upon you!

I have a a prayer request

Now my uncle Lando who is mom's oldest brother's heart is weak. Fortunately, uncle Lando's doing fine given the circumstances. However, he is living by himself: his wife, my auntie Rosa lives in Spain as well as their youngest daughter, ate Sharon. Their two oldest daughters, ate Suzette and ate Roselyn live in the USA. Now these are all full grown women who run a household and have a healthy family.

Currently my auntie Rosa is very sick as she's in the hospital hospitalized for lung problems. As of this writing aunt Rosa is being kept alive by artificial oxygen. We are not sure if auntie will recover.

All of ate Sharon's family members including husband and two sons have been tested positive. And now her first born, 15 year old Seanley, believes he's responsible for auntie Rosa's decline. I have been in contact with ate Suzette with whom I share a special bond as she spent 9 years with my family in the Netherlands back in the 90's. She's been very concerned with her father also - especially with the distance between each other.

Of course all of my cousins are concerned for my uncle and aunt's health.

So pastor, I ask you and your congregation to pray for my relatives:

a. The recovery of my uncle Lando and auntie Rosa's health

b. The emotional well being of my cousins ate Sharon, Suzette and Roselyn and their families

c. That Seanley finds peace within himself through the blessing and guiding of the Holy Spirit and that his parents will assure him and take off the pressure Seanley has put on himself

d. That my relatives may be guided by the Lord's will and get them closer to our Lord and savior Jesus Christ

Thank you for your consideration and for your prayer in advance, pastor!

May the Most High bless you, your family and your congregation...

Have a nice week!
