Isaiah 55:8 is the answer when trying to second guess what God does and why.

Please pray for me I am getting an endoscopy done tomorrow morning. Please pray that nothing is wrong with my stomach, lungs, and everything in my body and pray that I don't have cancer. pray that I am healthy and that nothing is wrong just anxiety.

It's not ok. I wouldn't dare to intentionally violate God's commands.

Brother Richard, Thank you for those verses. So it appears that those with the Gift of Tongues can choose to pray using that Gift (i.e. pray in an unlearned language) or can pray in a known language. But if he wanted to pray specifically about some situation, he would need to use a known language or else he won't know what he is asking (unless he has it interpreted).

So my eventual question to brother Michael would have been: can a person, baptised & filled with the Spirit, still pray in a known language seeing that when he prays he must needs use that Gift of praying in Tongues? Or, another way of putting it: would he no longer be praying in the Spirit if he chose to use a known/learned language? And if this is the case, then how could those who only pray in a known language (like you & me), be accused of not praying in the Spirit?

Maybe, it all boils down to whether a believer falls into that 'group' of people who spoke in Tongues when they first believed rather than a question of what language is used in prayer. I never seem to learn how all this works with those who not only have this Gift but insist that all believers must also have it. It seems the Word says one thing but a large body of believers interpret the matter differently.

Just to let you know, I'm away on holidays presently for three weeks, so will be contributing very little, if at all, on this Site. Every blessing.

"an help meet" should be "a help meet",do thou think so?

I don't want to fail Jesus. The cares of this world are consuming my thoughts and my time.

If 1 14 Corinthians speaks about woman not speaking in church, why is it okay to have women as pastor?

Should it be a interpreter In church when people are speaking in tongues?

Hello, those are interesting questions. If you got a fishtank and stocked it full of fish, but noticed one fish harassing, assaulting, and killing the other fish through relentless mean attacks... would you show mercy to the 99% of the fish (peaceful) and kill the evil mean fish. Or would you show 'mercy' to the evil mean fish, and show no mercy or justice to the 99% of the fish and let them continue to suffer?

Satan is pure evil and destroys countless lives, dragging everyone down. Why should evil be rewarded? Isn't rewarding evil actually harmful to everyone else who strives to do what is right?

Maybe you like your community, like your family, and maybe have precious daughters you love. Let's say your state governor tried to show 'mercy' to a prisoner and let him out and he moved in next door. He was convicted of horrific crimes against young girls and now lives next door. And he's watching as your kids play out in the yard while you're at work. Are you 100% ok with that? What if he then assaults your daughters, are you still ok with that? Because mercy, right?

The point is people often see one side of 'mercy' and don't always acknowlege that rewarding one person's evil can steal from others and harm them- and that's not truly merciful if you're harming others.

So, why doesn't God just create a bunch of robots that are 100% perfect? He loved us enough to give us the freedom to choose. Which is more meaningful to you? If your spouse and kids be forced to say I love you, or if they say it voluntarily and mean it? The latter of course and that's one reason God gave you the freedom to choose to follow Him or not. He won't force you to spend eternity with Him if you don't want to.

Finally, the 'evil' in Isaiah 45:7 means environmental evil like natural disasters, not a moral evil. God is perfect is cannot sin against Himself. He is loving and merciful and loves you enough to give you freewill. Most choose evil, but some choose good.

God bless...

I would be surprised if the word repented in that context meant the same as repented as if for sin. I believe in this context it meant regretted. If someone wants to look at the hebrew I'm sure it could shed light on it.

Please pray for my Grandma and Grandpa. Pray that they are well. Please pray that if anything is wrong that God will heal them. Pray that Covid will go away. Please pray that I will leave everything to God and to trust in him in every situation and every thought that I have. My family Greatly appreciates your prayers . Thank You And G od Bless.

I firmly believe in infinity.

Oops. At the end of my post I meant Galatians 1:18 not 13. About the Greek word used for "see".

Praying for an increase of faith, mind renewal, health, and family. Praying for anyone who believes that JESUS IS THE CHRIST, and that GOD will continue to grow them in faith, character, and strength.

Okay but next time please do not play with GOD and try it on your own and if you still cant figure it out please ask a parent or gaurdian

Why does God have to kill the devil, toss him in the lake of fire? Why can't Jesus baptize the devil, show him a little sympathy?

If Isaiah 45:7 states that God creates the evil, then what is God's punishment?

Hello Charles,

Just to expand on the year "around 55 AD" when Paul writing the epistle to Corinth. Also you stating that the time between the Death of Jesus and His appearing to Paul on the road to Damascus being 8-9 years or 36-37 AD. I have never heard of that number. So you have learned the death of Jesus to be around 25-26 AD? I have learned that the Lord appeared to Paul sometime around 2-3 years after His death.

As also hearing lectures from Dr Gary Habermas who expands on this timeline. Which agree with several other sites of the chronological studies of that time. As I'll just leave a simple timeline and some verses of "around" times. As no one knows the exact year of the death of Jesus Christ I will be using the year 30 AD as most like to use.

30 AD Death of Jesus Christ.

32-33 AD The Lord appeared to Paul on the road to Damascus Acts 9:1-20.

35-36 AD After three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter Galatians 1:18.

49-50 AD Then 14 years after I went up again to Jerusalem Galatians 2:1.

50-51 AD Paul arrives at Corinth

51-52 AD Paul was in Corinth 1.5 years and brought before Gallieo Acts 18:11-12.

54-55 AD Paul is in Ephesus, staying there 2-3 years, which is where some believe he wrote the epistle to Corinth.

As there was a first letter, or "previous letter", written to Corinth, from Paul, which is no longer extant. Paul noting he wrote them and epistle previously in ( 1 Corinthians 5:9.

With all of these dates I'm sure they can be moved around a little as all being "about". Things we know of are the reign of Gallio to be of 51-52 AD. Which has been inscribed in stone.

Skip also did quote ( 1 Corinthians 11:23. Stating that Paul did "receive of the Lord that which I also delivered unto you". Which I'm sure Skip knows. In Galatians 1:13 the word "see" is the Greek word G2477. Meaning "to find out, learn by inquiry" or "to gain knowledge of by visiting".

Just to give some friendly information. God Bless.

what does this above scripture mean by ''Satan smote Job with sore boils from the sole of his foot unto his crown.''?

I believe there is only one way, one Gospel but preached in many different ways:

When Paul says according to the Scriptures, "OLD TESTAMENT"

We see THE PROMISE TO ABRAHAM-

Galatians 3:8-9. And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.

So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham. ( Jews and Gentiles)

HERE IS JOHN THE BAPTIST PLAYING A ROLE IN THE DISTRIBUTION OF THE GOSPEL.

John 1:29. The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the LAMB OF GOD, which taketh away the sin of the ""WORLD."" (Jews and Gentiles)

THOSE LAMB SACRIFICES IN THE OLD TESTAMENT SPOKE OF CHRIST DEATH FOR THE WHOLE WORLD.

NOTICE PETER PUTTING NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TEACHING TO JEWS AND GENTILES HERE IN ACTS. pay attention to the highlighted sentences.

Acts 15:7-11. And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up, and said unto them, Men and brethren, ye know how that a good while ago God made choice among us, that the Gentiles by my mouth should hear the word of the gospel, and believe.

And God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as he did unto us;

"""AND PUT NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN US AND THEM,""" purifying their hearts by faith.

Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?

But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ """WE SHALL BE SAVED, EVEN AS THEY."""

When the Apostles was baptizing "ritually" putting all believers (Jews and Gentiles) in one body speaks of Identifying us with his DEATH AND RESURRECTION.

They all preached the cross and resurrection in different ways throughout the scriptures. But the same narrow way.

David, may the Spirit grace you with HIS wisdom and HIS understanding.

Psalm 39:5 May my soul be joyful in the Lord: it shall rejoice in the Lord.

Most everyone thinks this is David's words. The traditions of man have done great harm in causing most everyone to stay deceived of the truth in the scriptures. Let's look at two verses in Samuel that will completely change the way Psalms should be understood.

2 Samuel 23:1-2 Now these be the last words of David, David the son of Jesse said, and the man who was raised up on high, the anointed of the God of Jacob said, and the sweet psalmist of Israel, said,

(vs 2) The SPIRIT OF THE LORD spake by me, and his words we in my tongue.

According to David it was Jesus (the Spirit of the Lord) speaking the words we read in the Psalms.

Now Psalm 35 becomes a prophecy about Jesus Christ. Jesus is talking (or praying, same thing) with his father (his salvation, the one who would raise him from the dead).

Look at the parallels he prophesies about in Psalm 35 (other Psalms also) and other places in scripture that say the same thing.

They persecute me without a cause.

False witnesses rise up against me.

I behaved myself as if they were my brothers (even though they crucified me).

GBU

does the Bible say that the earth is flat?? where if it does.
