are the people in the grave asleep or are they with god after death

I confess my heart is evil. I have constantly prayed wicked prayers against my family, friends, family members, coworkers, and people i don't even know because I don't want anyone to be happy. I don't want my mom to be happy. I confess i don't want to change, I'm greedy, arrogant, stubborn, prideful, lustful, jealous, and envious. I don't like being told what to do, i act stupid to deceive people, times i want to give up, I'm lazy. Times I blamed God because every time i get rebuked by God i just wanna run away and scream and say "God why don't you just fix me!?! You know my heart is evil, so why dont you just purify me to be good again? Its not like i want to be evil or want to go to hell for all eternity"! I get frustrated and impatient, even want to give in to temptation. Heavenly Father, I repent of everything I've done please forgive me for all I've done. Lord, today i choose to surrender my whole life to You and pray that whatever the cost, You would take full control of all that i am and all that You want me to be, from this point on. I ask this in the precious name of Jesus, Amen.

I think you may be seeking clarification of Romans 14:5,6 to a similar passage in Galatians 4:9,10.

As both of Paul's letters are to believers, I read the Galatians portion as applying to some who wanted to observe those aspects of the Jewish religious requirements as necessary, as opposed to the freedom believers now have in Christ, in Romans 14.

In Galatians, Paul speaks of the Jewish customs & observances (of special days & times) that were required for the performance of their religion. This went part & parcel with a strict & correct observance, & any departure from it, brought displeasure & punishment.

But when one is "in Christ", we have no such constraints placed upon us, as we look into the "perfect law of liberty" because Christ, in His Sacrifice, not only brought us a glorious salvation from sin's penalty, but also released us from the bondage to anything else (whether a Law, custom, or tradition), so that we may enjoy the liberty that comes with faith in Christ & being led of His Spirit in our lives. So in Romans 4:5,6, Paul is reminding the believers there that they are free to observe any day they wished or eat anything they desired, for they were no longer under legal constraint, but under the dictates of the conscience, as those now belonging to Jesus. And of course, the reason for Paul bringing up this matter, was the concern about a judgemental attitude, which would be prevalent especially by those coming out of Judaism & who believed that the 'old' observances were still necessary to live as a Christian. And we know that the Apostle Peter too failed momentarily in this matter of behaviour in front of Jews ( Galatians 2:11-16).

We are never to judge another, except to proclaim the Word accurately to one who is failing or departing from the teachings from the Word. Therefore, whether in our mind or action against them, we are to desist, but by loving instruction guide or warn them, leaving the matter of the soul's condition only to the Lord.

I need to see Matthew 17:17 in various Bible Translations, e.g., KJV, NIV, ESV, etc.?

Thank you Chris but I realize I have erred in the faith not only because I asked a Carnal question but I realized I had to seek Christ Jesus because he is the true bread of life. Luke 12:31 But seek ye first the kingdom and all these things shall be added unto you.

Apostle Paul explains the best teaching as it pertains to the Sabbath in Hebrews 4. The Sabbath in Genesis 7 is prophetic and must be stied with Revelation 10:7. The Sabbath given unto the children of Israel was codified into the Law of Moses. The Messiah, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ showed forth how to keep the Sabbath, doing the work of God. Daniel 7:25 is the 4th kingdom upon the earth which is Rome/Europe.

That my grandchildren are safe and no harm mentally,emotionally are filled with Love of God. My daughter has joint custody but the father and stepmother who are Christians reading the Bible verses in Tik Tok does not let the children communicate with their mother and maternal family. These children needs to know we are with them spiritually and pray to the Lord that the father get off his power control because he only has physcial custody which both parents have visitation rights. He say he is humble but doesn't see or care what his children feelings. I ask for power of prayer for him to open his heart and hear his and feel his children cries for their mother and grandparents who wants to see them always.

Psalm 116

Tell God your problems ! There is none that has his infinite understanding , and mercy !

Remember to acknowledge the Lord Jesus since it's through his name that we gain an audience with God lord almighty...

Acts 16:31; 1 Peter 1:8-9; Romans 10:10; Ephesians 1:12-13; Titus 3:5-6; Once a person gets saved, they will want to do what is right to honor God in any circumstance! James 2:14-26; 1 John 5:11-13

Wisdom is a concernment for understanding what is going on within a physical entity or within your very own structure of self. As the previous line talked of evil men because their heart is full of destruction. Do not eve be around them. By having the understanding of whom you are as a person you have established that foundation. Even if it was a physical entity you have the understanding of how the foundation is built. If a marriage you know the foundation already because you have established it by being wise and shunning evil. So a house could be many things but the key to it all is that you have shunned evil to build the house and based on that you have the foundation on which it is built on.

Jesus comes before the rapture ! Be ready live a faithful life and pray to escape all these things that are coming ...

we have nothing to fear or worry about as long we ,as we are born again in to the Family of GOD .vrse 4 of 121 tell us He JESUS is all way's with us never sleep or slumbers KJV Iwill

never leave you nor forsake you .

How do u know if u r save or not. And can u give m scripture to back it up

What is the difference between the practices referred to here and those referred to in Romans chapter 14 ?

Naomi and Ruth desired children, and God visited them in a sense to achieve that goal through Boaz. Today, many seem to want to get rid of the fruit of their womb through abortion. God help us and them to rid the world of this scourge.

Whatever he tells you to do, do it! jesus won't tell us to do anything wrong. whatever it is you can be sure you will benefit from it! it will be for our good and his glory! and it will surely help someone else, either then or in the future. and yes, this is what the church should be doing, whatever jesus tells us to do.

Thanks Chris for your reply. I agree with you on what the scriptures state. I was not implying that there is in fact a purgatory or a second chance. No sir, the Bible does not state that. My comment was more along the line of deep thinking of things that make you go hmmm...in an effort to stir up the spiritual mind of our Christian family. That is why I advised to seek the Holy Spirit's input on the matter. I would never teach people will have a second chance at repentance if they reject the gospel here. Again, as you stated, there are things we are just uncertain about.

I may have been out of line for making my statement on a public forum, I apologize. Please charge it to my head and not my heart.

What things did Jesus sufferwhereby he learned obedeince

Thank you for your response. I agree, the Jews that chose to reject our Savior have condemned themselves

Luke being a medical doctor described a great divide. The way I interpret this, those that accepted Christ are on one side of this divide with Christ in Heaven and those that rejected him are on the other side waiting judgment along with those that have never heard waiting on their opportunity to hear and either accept or reject him. Remember when Christ was crucified he went to where those that hadn't heard about the plan of salvation, because it hadn't happened yet and they were still under the law and he witnessed to them giving them the opportunity to accept or reject salvation. I don't believe anyone gets a second chance but I do believe the Gospel teaches all will have the opportunity to accept or reject Salvation. God Bless !

Paula Roberts, Acts20:7 is the earliest pattern of meeting to break bread, the first day of the week, long before there was a vatican. An individual can worship God at any time, but the body of believers, gathered together, should follow the pattern established by the apostles and early disciples, seen here in scripture.

If you are influenced by Adventist teaching, it may be justification by works that is causing the pushback. Following the Bible is not the way to heaven, knowing Christ has paid for all your sins is the only way. If you ever think you can be good enough, that's wrong.

The Sabbath/rest for Christians is throughly discussed by Paul in Hebrews 3&4. In particular, Heb.4:11, that is, a rest from our efforts to obtain salvation by our own works. What are you going to offer to God, that would add to the work of his son on the cross??? To offer anything is to diminish his ability to save you by his grace.

Israel/the world, was under the law(a schoolmaster Galatians 3:24 & 25) to bring them to Christ. The Church is by grace. Romans 6 There are many so called churches that confuse the distinctions between Israel and the Church, Adventists being only one.

ALL the work of salvation was done by Christ. You are saved, if you believe/trust him alone. 1Cor.15:3&4, Romans 10:9,10,11

I teach virtual bible class and my students noticed it. Tks for your reply.

I was just proud my students remembered this.

Tks again.

Is Elijah coming back before the Rapture? Thank you and God bless. Nancy Edwards.

i also suffer from residuals of several head injuries. I too have become very perceptive and can feel the pain of others whether they are present or not. I have started praying for those people. I believe God has finally gotten me to a place where I trust nobody but him. I have no strength left. My only hope is truly in Him and him alone. Just keep praying, keep trusting, keep putting your hope in Jesus alone. Remember how spoiled we have become.

Trust in the Lord with all thy heart and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and he shall direct thy paths.

Proverbs 3:5&6

God hath not given us the spirit of fear; But of power and of love and of a sound mind.

Please keep me in your prayers

Thanks for clarifying this chapter and it has surely given me great understanding of the coming end of days.

I'm single. I keep Deuteronomy 30:19 in my head when temptation is near. It's about choices we make. It's saying choose this day who you will serve: life or death. Sin works death.

We're told in 1 Corinthians 6:18, flee fornication. It actually means run! So I get busy doing things I dislike: straightening the pantry, linen closet, tools, until the temptation passes. It's helps to notice what started the temptation: watching worldly things on tv, reading romance novels instead of the Bible. It's spiritual warfare ( Ephesians 6) so sometimes we need to put that helmet of salvation back on our heads.

I Corinthians 7 actually teaches about marrying, to avoid burning with lust. Marry someone who is a Christian too, to avoid being unequally yoked.

Apostle Paul never married, so he's a good one to read in the Bible.

However, if you mean that when you do a Search on this KJB Site (i.e. Selecting a Bible Book) & you want to scroll down to a particular Psalm in the Psalter, but you find that all the Books are shown as having individual chapters, then you're right: the Psalms don't have chapters as other books but individual Psalms. They are listed as chapters here so as to keep everything standardized with the other Bible Books.

Give ear to my cry O Lord for I trust in thee Amen

Psalms has chapters. Are you assuming the book is not supposed to have them today? If you are referring to the original Hebrew or Greek scrolls, then yes, ancient scrolls didn't have chapters or verses, but that wasn't just Psalms, but all books of the Bible. The scrolls had natural breaks and spacing that could be interpreted as paragraphs or chunks of thought. The chapters and verses makes it much easier to read and share without changing any of the meaning. It was also copied onto papyrus and hand copied back then. Today it's on the internet and on mobile devices and in English so we can understand and read it in our own language easily.
