I know I'm not in here by mistake!

I was born into a communist country and raised athiest. when I was 23 yrs Old I defected communism! March 21, 1991 immigrated to the USA. Dec 8 got baptized & married in church! That nigh I see God and Jesus in my dream. Since then I kept seeing dreams! I Jesus healing me, John the Baptist, Haven, rapture, one months before the tsunami happened I see it on my dream! During the election 2016 when I voted for Trump because GOD told me to vote for him, and although I voted for Hillary 1st time & 2nd Time Romney! I was democrat for the past 25 yrs! I feel thirsty for knowledge of god but I don't feel going to any church! I really like to know what all this mean?

In Isaiah 7:14, the word is spelled out using the Hebrew/Chaldean/Aramaic spelling, Immanuel. Whereas in Matthew 1:23, Emmanuel is taken from the Greek spelling, Emmanouel. Both mean exactly the same: God with us.

Are all who say they are Christians really Christians? Who said I die daily--do you? I find very few so called Christians really are.

Exodus 6:2,3, "And God spake unto Moses, and said unto him, I am the LORD: And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them."

Jehovah, or Yahweh (YHWH) is the Hebrew word for the LORD GOD. It's meaning is: "the active self existent One". However, since YHWH cannot be correctly pronounced by the Jews, they refrain from speaking out God's Name lest they find themselves in serious error before God. Even in their writing in English, usually God is written as, G_d, for a similar reason.

As well, we have 'compound' Names for Yahweh: e.g. Yahweh-Yireh (The LORD Who provides); Yahweh-Ropheka (The LORD Who heals); etc. However, in English we just use the generic name, God, or Lord God & in the KJV, when Yahweh is referred to, the words are capitalized to indicate this. I don't believe we err in any way, by referring to our Great God & Saviour as simply 'God': He is unconcerned by which Name we prefer to use (& different languages will have their own words to refer to God), rather that we reverence Him & get to know Him for Who He is, for what He has done & what He will do in the future.

Let us stand perfect and complete in all the will of God. Time is winding up and the Lord's coming is nigh. Walk in wisdom, praying and giving thanks to the Lord. Always give thanks to Jesus for his love, grace, mercy and truth. Comfort one another with the Word. Let God's Word dwell in you richly in all things.

The Genesis 6 debate is a good example of people rejecting Scriptural TRUTH in favor of their own bias. "It's impossible for angels to have sex with women", they say. Why is it impossible? Because it goes against their innate BIAS, but not from ANY SCRIPTURAL reasoning. OK- here are SCRIPTURAL reasons why Genesis 6 refers to ANGELS co-habiting with WOMEN: (1. The phrase "Sons of God" found in Genesis 6:2,4 is used in ONLY three other places in the Old Testament: ALL are found in the Book of Job ( Job 1:6, 2:1, 38:7). In EACH of those 3 passages, the term "Sons of God" refers to ANGELS, not MEN. If you have a problem with that statement, take it up with the Author of the Book. I didn't write it, I'm only reporting it. (2. Mankind SONSHIP with God was SEVERED with the Fall of man in the Garden of Eden. Adam was a son of God; Adam and Eve spiritually DIED when they disobeyed God , and ate of the forbidden fruit. ALL of Adam's offspring, until Christ, the 2nd Adam, came were born spiritually DEAD. They were sons of Adam, made in Adam's image, not God's children. The Sonship relationship between God and man was re-established ONLY when Christ died on the Cross, and paid Adam's SIN DEBT that separated man from God. That was why Christ could say to His disciples, after His Resurrection, "I go to MY Father AND YOUR FATHER; to My God and YOUR GOD." There are many more points and Scriptures I could bring out to support the argument, but the two (2) points brought out (above) DEMOLISH the argument "the sons of Seth were the SONS OF GOD."

Hi Rodney, I did post a reply to your similar request yesterday. Maybe you haven't seen it, or you might be looking for further comment from others. I do hope you get other views to help you with your enquiry.

Rather, than repeat what I wrote earlier, I would add here: that the early Church may have picked the First Day of the Week as the day to come together to worship the Lord in remembrance of their Saviour's resurrection on that day, as well as a show of further segregation from the Jewish Law. Of course, the Sabbath was being adhered to by the Jews, & indeed by Paul in his ministry to them (as in Acts 17:2). But it appears that believers no longer observed the Sabbath for worship (maybe it was still a day of rest though), but they came together on the first day of the week ( Acts 20:7), now being referred to as the Lord's Day ( Revelation 1:10).

In ministry in Pakistan, Friday is the Muslim's rest day & for a more dedicated worship & preaching in the mosque. As Christians, we had to fall in line with this day & so our corporate worship time in a Church Fellowship fell on a Friday. Some Churches still held a Sunday service, though that was not well attended, as most were required to work. So, any day that is selected can be used as a corporate day of worship, seeing that for the Christian, every day is alike to come before the Lord; but as ordered by the Lord, one day in the week still needs to be set aside as rest, for the health & recuperation of the mind & body. So I find it strange that an insistence for a Christian having to observe a Saturday Sabbath as necessary, as the Jews do, when that is not only meaningless for us but also demonstrates one placing himself back under the Law. I also wonder how well that believer observes the Sabbath: does he refrain from buying, or working in the garden, or dealing with an urgent repair job at home?

To your other question on observing the correct day of rest from the days of Adam & Eve, I wrote about this earlier.

In response to the "forehead or hand" ; I don't believe this is literally our foreheads or hands, but rather what we rationalize, give an ear to or believe (forehead) and what are the works of our "hands".

We will have to trust that God will provide for us even when everything will be taken away from us if we don't follow what the world system has ordered us to do.

If we all believe this vaccine is changing DNA and is being forced on us or we cannot keep our jobs, we cannot buy or sell without it, and we walk away from this, then our foreheads and hands will be doing the work of God the Father.

Matthew 6:9-13; Luke 11:1-4 (in part).

How are we christians to distinugish the world's view of the word temporary which is like 6-9 months and God's view of it which could mean 6 months to about 20 years?

No, Cain was the first child of Adam & Eve, even as Genesis 4:1 declares. I realize that there's false teaching around to indicate otherwise, but that just comes from one's overactive imagination.

Mark 8:38, "Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels."

Those words of Jesus certainly mean, as you suggest, to deny Christ. But it could also mean that, in the midst of a Christ-rejecting people, we recoil from the Truth, whether we choose to keep quiet or even speak words that are so diluted so as to not offend anyone. We live in a World where we're being told that it's not right to offend anyone's person or beliefs. And this is correct, but when we then altogether refuse to speak up (in love & concern) for what is right & ordained in God's Word, then there is little difference to the one who is outwardly a denier of Christ in the midst of testing or persecution.

Not all Christians can be of the calibre of standing & preaching the Gospel to a crowd, but then again, most would rather keep their 'faith' private, sometimes so private that another person hardly notices that any difference. I'm retired now, but whenever I applied for a job earlier & the opportunity was there, I made sure that I stated that I was a Christian & adhered to biblical values & that my work ethic is based on my faith. Not that my position in Christ should have made any difference to the prospective employer, but I believed that the foundation was laid from the beginning, so any other action or event subsequent to it, could be seen as a result of my faith which was real & active. Of course, I too was under their scrutiny to live the Christian life before them. It's always a good policy to let others know of your new life in Christ, even in passing, for no other reason that to give you the incentive & boldness to live your life out, without reservation, before men.

There's nothing in the narrative ( Mark 4:36-41) to suggest that Satan had anything to do with the storm. I feel that it was just a normal weather phenomenon as apparently was quite common at the Sea of Galilee. It could be quite calm & in the next moment a violent storm could build up. This was partly due to its location where the wind comes over the mountains in the East & drops suddenly & violently towards the Sea. However, Jesus always took the daily experiences of the people to teach them, not about nature, but of the deeper spiritual life & God's operation over mankind.

Dinner and housing. Paranoid schizophrenia medication.

did Satan here try to destroy Christ with this storm

What does it mean to deny Christ in this sinful generation and be ashamed how can I apply this to my own life as a believer? Mark 38

His Grace is sufficient, our suffering is for His Glory. Deep Breathe... He hears. May Christ The Lord Grant you a healing in spirit, mind and body in Christ's name. Amen.

May The Holy Spirit implant the desire in the hearts of men this Christmas to ask, seek and knock for a deeper understanding of The Glory of Christ Jesus The Lord, The Coronated King of All Creation. Amen.

I would like to know if satan is the the father of cane? thank you

/ I love to learn God words more.

I must commend you for ending your prayer in the Name of Jesus. As you well know, Jesus is the Name of the Savior. Colossians 3:17 says"And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him." So by praying in the Name of Jesus, you are praying to God. Salvation came only by Jesus ( Acts 4:12; Matthew 1:21; John 17:6; Luke 3:31; John 1:14) So when you pray in the name of Jesus, you are praying to God. All of the fullness of God is in Jesus( Colossians 1:19). We are saved through Jesus--He died on the Cross and provided the means of escape for the whole world. The demons tremble at the name of Jesus( James 2:19) Again, I commend you for praying in Jesus' Name and ending your prayer in Jesus' Name. There is no other name given to us whereby we must be saved. Jesus even said that repentance and remission of sins would be preached in His name ( Luke 24:47). It is through His name that we are baptized ( Matthew 28:18-20; Acts 1:8; Acts 2:38; Acts 3: 19) I am so grateful to find believers who still hold to the Bible. God bless you and may God keep you is my prayer. I hope I provided some insight into Name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Why was god also called jehovah?

I am baptize in the name of jesus, Prayer to keep us safe from covid and to have Good health. I pray that each day I do the right thing to please Jesus. I fall short sometimes and I do repent. I want to pray to live each and every day that i do the right way to be sure I will be excepted into Heaven and not in Hell. I also ask of the Lord that i can experience the spirit of jesus. In Jesus name Amen

Jim the.disciple of Christ, 1 Corinthians 3. I have feed you with milk, and not with meat. For hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able. For whereas there is among you. Envying, and, strife, and division, are ye not carnal, and walk as men? For while one saith I am of Paul; and another; I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal.? When men have to make hard choices we often forget our duty. Life is not about doing any and everything your heart desire . Then when you are

Sleep -- dead no man can repent of their sin. Life is full of hard choices, be wise follow Jesus, stay in the word , let God led you and guide you

Hi. Just read your page about the anti-christ, of which you post a list of possible candidates. Unless I missed something, why isn't Bill Gates on your list? Microsoft owns "Patent 060606" -- He's heavily invested in micro-chipping quantum/ nano-technology; and one vaccine with an enzyme called "LUCIFERASE". His vaccines have injured thousands over the years. He's controlling the entire world right now. People trust him. He giggles, smiles & grins when he's questioned about his so-called "save the world vaccines". Can you NO SEE WHAT IS RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOUR EYES?

God please forgive me of my sin God I want to walk with you now please clean me up for better God please take away bad things in my heart god please take away the taste of beer or wine to less I pray for a better readership with my daughter and I want to pray for my family and friends and enemies and I pray for the hold world..and god please keep your hand and arms around my best friend Kim and her family and kids and Billie and Broderick Carter and his family...and God please keep my mom and brothers in your hands..Amen

Grace is never servient to a formula. Mishael, A subtile twist of the parable of the sower, and you put forth the lie of salvation by works.

In context, the sweetest thing heard by BI was written previously by KingsleyJim.

The preparation of the soil for the seed was not gentle drops of kindness, but instead the turmoil of turning by the plow. In plain words, God only, prepares souls for the word/seed to flourish, not a plan by other people, saved or otherwise. The plowing is sometimes where the shallows are revealed, and also where nearby everpresent thorns take root. The over abundance of seed/word is evident and no "good ground" is missed. Despite the fowls, enough seed is fruitful, and thus harvested.

Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. Matthew 7:22&23 Salvation by good works is iniquity.

Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God. Psalm 20:7 To remember, we must first know God's name/character, and recognize his sovereignty in salvation, specifically ours, and also towards others. Believers serve God, only because he first saved us, not because we "deserve". But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound. Romans 5:20 The seed/word of God and grace, the inexhaustable expressions of God. Grace is never servient to a formula.
