Deuteronomy 33v3

These saints also called people , existing before Moses time , also there is a reference to this in Ecclesiasticus ch 45 v 1,2,3

Theses saints origin ?

It could also be what God Meant when he said "let us make man in our image . "

We know God is Spirit , but if these saints where with God before the creation of the World , and there is nothing saying they where not . But they where before Moses time .

Enoch is said to be an example of repentance to all generations and was translated, read in Ecclesiasticus 44 v 16

love the bible

Thank you, Chris. After reading the passage, I too was a bit unsure of its meaning. Your input was very helpful!

pray for me that i may have a closer walk with thee and to have understanding direction

Amen. Peace be with you.

Hi Gloria,

There are several references to tithing in the Bible. Check out Genesis 14:20. A book I have that is helpful in these matters is Where to Find It in the Bible by Ken Anderson.

In Isaiah 13:20 the Word says Babylon will never be inhabited again, yet it's present day Iraq with millions of people right? It doesn't sound like this is a future event in the text, but I'm wondering what else it could be.

I pray that the LORD GOD knows the thoughts and intentions of those reading this thread. Christ is my LORD. Amen

Seeking in Scripture this morning attempting to discern through God's Holy Spirit Verse 10 where Jesus says on the back of the verse "nor yet staves;". Why did He use the word "yet" to the disciples? What was left for the Disciples to receive later but The Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit could be likened to a Stave, for doesn't one lean upon a stave? Doesn't one who is weak rely upon a staff to rest upon? And doesn't The Holy Spirit in Psalm 23 Verse 4 say of Jesus Himself saying "Thy Rod (Word) and Thy Staff (Spirit?) they comfort me."

Now throughout the Old Testament everywhere else, I find no reference of The Holy Spirit as a Staff only that of a wooden walking stick to rest upon. And in Mark 6:8 Jesus commanded " 'save' a staff only," here referring to a staff of wood to lean or rest upon when walking or standing. So what of the meaning of 'yet' and 'save' in each Gospel? So I am at a crossroads in my mind and must pray to Christ for discernment. If you desire to assist, feel free. Peace.

Please could you pray for the decision of the university authorities on the results of my required exam. Thank you

I hope God helps you with this issue I started taking pain pills for my knees and it is the worst thing I have ever done in my life and people that have never done it do not understand and that is great but it is the worst life you could ever have and I so hope you get help! My heart goes out to you! Dear Lord please help this person. Amen.

Dear Shirley Prado; you have asked a very important question. In the world you will get many answer but please realize the world is full of deception. You were given a answer and I do not feel it is strong enough for the answer to your question. Your answer can be simple but would not easy to absorb and also Satan's agents are waiting to attack with deception. We are in a spiritual war for the mind. Trust no one, however I will ask you to read Jeremiah 33.3 KJV. Make it your daily prayer. Make a deal with the Lord that you will follow where he leads no matter how unpopular. Pray daily and do not give up. God will answer, he can not lie. "Study to show thy self approved, a workman rightly dividing the word of Truth." I and millions more, clearly know what will be placed in the forehead. For years I have known after using Jeremiah 33.3 for over 6 months, until God led me to the correct church to find the answer's. For years I walked [ by faith in his prophecy,s] not knowing how it would be possible to put the mark in most of the world's forehead but in the last 3 years it is clear to see it coming . I say most because there is also another mark for those who do not take the beast mark. This mark is called the Seal of God. If you seek the Lord with all the heart you will be blessed because no secret thing will the Lord withhold from those who walk upright.

please pray for Kristie and myself today please pray i see her today please pray the walls that have separated us be removed once and for all

Shalom,

Thank you for your ministry, it's a blessing to me, I use your work every day and thank God for your talents being utilized for God's Kingdom and to reach people all over the globe with His Word, what a blessing!

My question is, does Genesis 11:10 mean that Shem was 98 years old when the flood occurred as according to Genesis 11:10 Shem was an 100 years old, and begat Arphaxad 2 years after the flood?

According to Gen 5:32 ... Noah was 500 years old : and Noah begat Shem, Ham, and Japhet.

According to Gen 7:6 ...Noah was 600 years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth.

Which would mean that the boys were 100 years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth or am I missing something?

Perhaps the 9 months in the womb and some other months while in the arc, which would add up to 2 years that are missing? Or how do I understand "begot" at the time of conception or at the time of birth? Please advise and thank you in advance,

God bless you,

Marta

That's a great request that you've put forward Braden. It's one that demonstrates a real hunger for the Lord & for more knowledge of Him from His Word. You're correct, one of the best ways of knowing the Lord & drawing closer to Him is from learning from His Word, communing with Him in your heart about what you read & giving Him the praise due to Him for the wonderful God that He is to you. Another important aspect about desiring greater communion with Him, is to allow Him (by His Spirit) to get 'more' of you. So often many Christians genuinely hunger more of the Lord's things but aren't prepared to let go of things in their own lives that come in the way of a deeper relationship with the Lord. Only you can do a heart & life search & see if there's anything there that would displease God.

Your Christian life with all its graces is always the best testimony one can have in front of family & close friends. When they observe your behaviour, your responses to difficult situations or people, your quiet confidence in the provision of your needs & the hope you have of everlasting life, often we say that it's those 'unspoken words' that can have the biggest impact. If you've already shared the Gospel with them, it's very likely that they'll stop listening to anymore words; you need to ask God that their ears & hearts will be opened & that they will enquire to hear from you. Nagging someone to listen to you isn't the best option in any family situation.

If you've done some Bible reading, then you'll know what God is saying in those many Bible Books & letters. All of Scripture needs to be read as all of it is profitable to your soul & for knowledge. Since I don't know how much knowledge of the Bible you have or where you are in your Christian life, it's difficult to suggest a Bible book to start with. The Gospels are always a good starting point to learn of Jesus Christ & His Love for you.

You can do a search right here on this KJB site for the word "worship". A quick check shows that it appears 188 times, including its past tense, present participle, etc.

I think to be good and happy is the best way to live....

In reading the Old Testament it strikes me that one must remember during his lifetime Jesus found himself less and less in the tabernacle. In his youth his parents searched for him and when found he reported he had been in discourse in the tabernacle. As he attained his 30 years we don't often find him in worship there. We must always remember that the Old Testament is the inspired word of God spoken at the time it was needed but to bring the emphasis on ritual into modern times, to me, does not do justice to Jesus' itinerant ministry as where we gather in his name is where our church is and the sanctification of a group of people to be separate to serve the Lord based on their birth is something Jesus rejected in action if not in word. We find true separation to serve the Lord in the person of John the Baptist and I believe in modern times certain sects of monks can be viewed as authentic in their service to the Lord. Ritual has a place in many religions but I try to remember Jesus was not a man who valued ritual as much one might think. Anyway, that is the notion that came to me in reading Numbers.

How many times in the Bible is the word or form of the word "worship" mentioned. I'm doing a research project and was wanting to know.

That's a difficult question to answer when applying it to a specific person's life. But my experience tells me that firstly, the one seeking to 'know' God's Will for him/her, must truly be 'in the Will of God'. That is, he/she must be re-born by God's Spirit having been cleansed from past sins by the offering of Christ's Blood on the Cross for him & being made a new creation, in Christ. To fully realize God's Will & to be joyful & at peace about it, whatever it is, can only come through our relationship to God our Father & fully trusting Him for any outcome in our lives.

Personally, I've never sought God's Will for me. I would have liked to know what it would be, the path I should take in life to reach that end and what I should perform to get there. But it's always been my impression that a believer just needs to be found 'in Christ', & having His Spirit in us, guarantees us His keeping of our souls, our teaching, our guidance & our continual refreshment. As we're 'in the way of life' & doing what God has set for us to do, He will lead us & take us further in that walk with Him.

Sometimes, we can have a burden on our hearts to pursue something, whether in the secular or religious world. It would not be wrong to ask God about it & state your desires. Then see whether that burden still remains upon you & observe over time, how events are panning out for you to reach that goal. However, be flexible & responsive, if the Lord should close the door you seek to enter through - He delights in His children obeying His Word & His leading, & not force one's own desires thereby bringing on painful results. God always does what is best for His children, even though we sometimes think otherwise. We can look at Israel who pressed God for a king, just as the other nations had one. God had warned them not to do so, but they insisted & eventually Saul was crowned. God gave into them bringing unfortunate results. You can pick up this story in 1 Samuel chapter 8 onwards.

How do I get closer to God? I know the best way to get closer to him is reading his word. But I never know where to start or what book to read, and most of the time just end up confused. Does anyone have any good references, I'm sixteen so what books of the Bible do you think would best fit me. I also want to learn more about the second coming of Jesus Christ, but I've read all I could find so far. I would like to ask for advice for the best way to serve god in a family that doesn't put God first. And thank you for all your help everyone, not one of my questions about Jesus and how to serve and honor him Have been unanswered or unhelpful. So thank you all
