Amen, praise the Lord paul!

It's likely the animals were inactive, possibly hibernating, for the ark voyage. Also, small bodies were likely, as in young animals. Regardless, there was plenty of room.

Amen! He does!!! He Knows all, Friend, all will be revealed in the end...to US! But GOD will be over the revealing...He is silent now, often, but He knows...ALL...and I mean ALL!!!! Even every secret thing (DONE BY ALL WHO'VE EVER DONE anything IN SECRET. Every idle word we will give account thereof in the end, and also, remember, GOD's WORD divideth even unto or between soul and spirit!!! So...that's His WORD...how much power then is He who spake it, wrote it, and put it in others to speak it and to read it? I'm glad to have seen your comment, Friend, and I hope GOD will bless us both and not just us but all who have righteous intentions and good intentions towards others, and also toward GOD. I have a heart that needs to love Him, and my heart isn't fulfilling that need. My life has poisoned me against GOD...for His will, and His "silence..." at times...and for his "more audible" displeasure at other times...LOL/Sigh! I'm tired, but we have no choice in this life--if we "quit" or commit suicide, we go to Hell. We can't be forgiven if our last act was successfully murdering our own selves (sadly...but understandably). I am not GOD, and I don't know if He judges the same for little ones that "give up" or "quit" in that manner (suicide) as He does for older kids or adults (I assume), but I only say that to say that I will to not burn in Hell and suffer forever (the result of dying in unforgiveness "no murderer shall enter into the kingdom of heaven" or and without the kingdom are murderers...(and others), etc. The whole point of suicide is often to put an end to prolonged suffering. But then to burn in Hell where the pain will NEVER cease and the suffering will NEVER have hope for escape.... I just hate this world, and I have difficulty with the COMMANDMENT to "love GOD with all of your heart and with all of your soul" when His will (at enough times in my life and what I've witnessed of the hardships of others) is so different from what I would it 2 B.

Hello Brooke,

I like your question because it is the same thing I used to think. In my belief. Once you are saved by the Lord Jesus Christ and have a personal relationship with God there is no more need to fear Him. As pure love, for Him, will take over and your entire life with everything you do surrounds Him. In living your life after the foot steps of Christ. Living a life that makes God happy. After repentance from things of this world and living a life of Holiness, grace, and truth. Actually doing our best seriously to stay away from the sins of this world because that is what makes God happy.

Another way to look at it is the Hebrew word "yirah" for "fear" can also mean "respect, reverence, or piety". Hopefully people won't take this the wrong way and that I don't think there should be fear of God. As one of the verses states, that Adam posted, how God is Almighty and can destroy the body and soul of the evil and wicked. Sometimes fear is what may drive people toward God. Of coarse you have to believe in Him first which is a big problem in this world today.

So if you truly have an intimate relationship with God. There is no need to fear Him as love overcomes fear. Of coarse your respect and reverence for Him will be through your love. Living your life for Him. Your true love will shine to Him. Here's a couple verses you may like. God Bless you sister.

Still looking for comment I read years ago, Can anyone help ? Ezekiel lay on a bed of nails ? Andy

when a person is cremated how are they resurrected for judgement?

Please pray for my son and his family. Please pray for me!! My health, finances. My daughter needs prayer for her family. We are all coal miners. Due to laws being passed our jobs are growing extinct.

Is suicide a sin ?

What Nationality are Ethiopians?

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

hi juses plese hlep me for praising you i love you jses name amen

I know I have read it Ezekiel laying on a bed of nails

I love learning god's word

What is Grace? How does it act?

This is a reply on Chris's comment about judgment & hell. But I'm going to comment on it in a series of questions that I believe many bible believing Christians should think and pray on.

1) How much does God love people?

2) Where did Jesus Spirit go during the three days His body was in the earth?

3) Consider this: 1 Peter 3:18-20 NKJV "For Christ also suffer once for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive by the Spirit, by whom also He went and preached to the spirits in prison, who formerly were disobedient, when once the Divine longsuffering waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was being prepared..."

4) Who were these spirits Jesus preached to and freed?

Finally, I'll ask again, how much does God love people? I encourage everyone to think on this, and converse with the Holy Spirit.

I agree, god which is our heavenly father he does want us to come back and turn to him and look up to him.

does that mean that we do not have a second chance at forgivness

Lord please heal my baby girl spinal cord injury, please mighty lord have regain movements and feeling. Please forgive me and my family from our sin and restore my girls functions. I pray she is just under spinal shock and this is just temporary. Please give us all the strength to keep going, please look over us all and break our curses. In Jesus name , amen.

The new Israel IS the church that is the woman.

what is lust

My friends to come back to me. I have been deserted by my friends and relatives.

To find a good church to join.

Please help me!!!!

I don't believe God will condemn anyone to hell who has not heard about Jesus, who has not had the opportunity to choose

If the bible says asked and if shall be given,a father will not give is child stone when asked for bread.

I prayed to God for companion but the guy i met is totally different from my prayers, is he not the one?why has God put him in my life ?

How do I tell a friend who God is? He said, he doesn't know who God is.

We Can see even David knew Jesus was coming way after his death. His writing's indicate that

he knew Jesus and God were one!! The battle is won we only have to stay focused on Christ either until we are call home or he coming back to rain.

This is a wonderful site due to the great teaching here, When I first found it I was ambitious and eager to help defend the faith, but soon realized this site didn't need that from me, there's a time for that. I've learned to sit back and learn how to be still. There's a lot to learn from that. Thank you

I understand that those who have rejected Christ now or died not having heard the Gospel are consigned to hell. And there is no second chance for anybody. Hebrews 9:27, "And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgement". The decision we make in this life is the one & only opportunity we all have. It's a message many don't want to hear - but if we don't tell them, we have sealed their fate.

If Joash did so well why was there a conspiracy against him?

Please keep me in your Prayers today

To know that your experience of re-birth by God's Spirit is real, is found in the testimony from God's Word & by the witness of His Spirit to your heart.

There are many Scriptures that tell us, what God has done in a truly repentant, confessing sinner, is a declaration by God. And if God has said it (through His Word), then He cannot lie & He is faithful to perform it in your life. Look at: John 3:16; 1 John 1:9; 2 Peter 3:9; Acts 2:38; Luke 15:10; 1 John 5:4; 1 John 2:29 are just a few.

Not only from God's Word that He wants all to repent & turn to Him, but also His Spirit witnesses to our hearts:

Romans 8:16; Galatians 5:17,22; 1 Corinthians 12:7 ff; 1 Corinthians 2:14 are some for you to consider.

So these verses declare God's ministry to us to assure our hearts that we belong to Him, i.e. we have been born again by His Spirit. But for each of us, the Spirit's ministry can be specific & special. One may see God doing mighty things through him that blesses many. Others, can have a quiet confidence in the promises of God & willing & able to share with others what God has done in him. But in all cases, the indwelling Spirit is there to assure you, comfort you, direct you, teach you & give you a hope for the future, which an unbeliever simply cannot have & enjoy.

Sometimes, the initial reception of the Spirit can be quite dramatic, whether in outward manifestations or an inward contrition & resulting joy in salvation. If you've had that experience, be assured of His Presence in you. If you've been baptized in water, here is another great testimony of an inward response to God's Work in you. But if you're feeling empty & no different from when you were unsaved, then you need to examine yourself whether you have come to God in the way that God has prescribed or to check whether you are harbouring any sin that stops His Spirit from fully working in you. I can't know all about you from where I am - you will have to search your heart & life & be honest with God.
