Acts 17

29 Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the GODHEAD is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device.

30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:

THE GODHEAD SCRIPTURES

Genesis 1:26, 3:22, 11:7

1 John 5:7.

John 10:30, I and My Father are one.

Also, in these following scriptures , we clearly see the Godhead ( Acts 17:27-30) speaking to each other.

NOTE: In the King James Bible, the words , TRINITY and TRIUNE,

ARE NOT used. Someone who was unable to teach LET US as a lesson, used these other words to describe, 'Three.'

If we used the Search Box provided on this website you would have seen it came up with NOTHING for triune and Trinity.

Father God is spirit

The Holy Spirit is spirit

Jesus is called, Son of Man. He is all God and all man. God in the flesh: so He could be the Lamb of God and save us from our sins.

Note these in your Bible. It comes up quite a lot.

Mishael

Hey could you send me some verse of encouragement please? I would really appreciate it.

Thanks.

In Jeremiah 19, we read about people who engage in literal child sacrifices to their false god, BAAL. This is also referred to as causing their children to pass through the fires of MOLECH. This was a horrible practice and a distortion and perversion of the final, atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross for the remissions of sin.

During times of intense warfare where cities are laid siege, the trapped population would be starved out. It became so bad that some people would resort to cannibalism in the face of prolonged starvation as a result of long sieges. This was punishment for enemies that were cruel and relentless in their persecution of others. I suppose that eventually all their bad deeds catch up with them. Live by the sword, die by the sword.

Sometimes you have to use Google for a Commentary.

I think your relative was horrified an marked it. Google those heathen deities to read of that culture.

They were not Jews.

Chris has a Greek explanation for this.

I was taught that: there is MAN

And WOMAN means, MAN WITH A WOMB

Lynn, beware of making assumptions about me or the Bible.

Romans 6 doesn't say what you've been saying. It's not a hall pass to commit and enjoy unlimited intentional sinning. Have you read the whole chapter? The first 2 verses contradicts the idea of you can't sin. It clearly says do NOT continue in sin in verse 1, and verse 23 is another warning to avoid sin. Freedom from sin doesn't mean unlimited sinning with no consequence, verse 15. V16: obey. V18 "servants of righteousness"

I've have never met anyone who claims they are without sin and that sin doesn't apply and that God is fine with you sinning, because "it's not sin". That's a distortion of the gospel. He didn't die for you so you could take advantage of him and enjoy sin and do evil all you want. That's not Christianity. The definition of a Christian is a Christ-follower and if someone isn't following and trying to emulate Jesus Christ then they aren't a Christian. Jesus called us to a ridiculously high standard that none can achieve. Only Jesus was perfect on earth, not you. You are a sinner just like everyone else and you still do sin, but if you genuinely follow Jesus and are genuinely trying to obey his commands then you're covered by grace for all our sins. It's not a hall pass so you can act wicked in the world and can commit all kinds of evil. Do you understand the difference?

Most people will go to hell. Narrow is the gate that leads to heaven. That means if 2/3 of the world believes in God that only a portion of those who call themselves Christians will go to heaven. Matthew 7:23. It's not about being 'good' or 'earning it', but about genuinely following Jesus. If you genuinely follow Jesus you would be serious about obeying him and avoiding sin. If you don't then you don't love Jesus. John 14:15. If someone doesn't love Jesus, in my opinion they are probably going to hell. This is a serious situation. People who consider themselves Christians will go there and should be afraid. Luke 12:5.

Someone asked is God a physical being, or a state of consciousness

You have to use all letters in the SEARCH boxes.

Scriptures will show a link and print, but it has to look like this: John 3:16

Or, 1 John 1:9

Any extra spaces or commas and it will not print a link.

Your right: no links from other websites.

You can mention the name but that's all.

Hope this helps :)

To say Christian is not worthy to have a spot as a Supreme Court Judge is really a test of tolerance. They've already ruled we can't sing inside a church. People have been singing in their cars in the church parking lots. Some cities are stricter. The President went to Church a week ago, and now we have to go through the income tax thing again :/

Everybody's life matters; even Jesus's Life Matters, and His Church. I'm going to sign that Petition! I want to vote for a professing Christian. My grandkid goes to a Christian school. The only power we have is prayer and our vote. I'm gonna use mine.

Come Lord Jesus!

Article today:

"The Left has declared an all-out war on the Constitution, the Supreme Court, life, and the Christian faith.

The President's nomination of Judge Amy Coney Barrett marks a historic shift on the Supreme Court for generations. She could help determine the fate of abortion, religious liberty, and so many other critical issues.

Judge Barrett is an exceptionally qualified constitutional conservative nominee to the Supreme Court. Her credentials are impeccable. She must be confirmed.

But the Left is targeting her for her Christian faith and for adopting two children from Haiti. It's SICK.

We will see personal attacks unlike ever before. They could be even worse than the Kavanaugh hearings. Multiple radical Left Senators already harassed Judge Barrett for her "religious beliefs" as a Christian, astoundingly condemning, "The dogma lives loudly within you."

Attacking Judge Barrett's faith is not only unacceptable, it's a violation of the Constitution which directly prohibits this: "no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office."

The attack on her faith is an attack on YOUR FAITH. This will be the fight of a lifetime." Petition on ACLJ website.

I love psalms because praise is my weapon and when I praise him he set up an ambush for the devil

Hello Adam, I did send a link explaining the entirety of Covenant Law but later discovered this site does accept links from other sites so it was never posted.

I also sent bible scripture in same response from the Romans using the KJV on my site but evidently that is not acceptable either. I am new to this site so still learning how to use it. It appears as if when I want to get a bible verse I need to do it directly from this site.

I agree that all the things you see as evil are sin according to the Old Testament Covenant Law. I'm saying I used to believe that Covenant Law applied to me prior to my understanding of Jesus freeing me from that Covenant Law via his death and resurrection at the cross...

So none of that Covenant Law applies to me any longer or anyone else UNLESS they believe it applies to them via false teaching that caused them to believe it does...

I'm saying I love my life now free from sin, according to the New Covenant Law that God writes in the hearts and minds of those that believe in the cross as a finished work... In other works living life alive in Christ.

This does not mean that I am not subject to the laws of the land in which I live, because I am.. If I were to break the law of the land it simply means I would be a criminal, not a sinner...

If you are choosing to still believe you and all others are sinners, that simply says you are not believing in the cross as a finished work... In other words, up until this point, the cross has been of no benefit to you.. Lynn

Please explain Genesis 1 line 27 and Genesis 2 line 22 thanks

Ok thank n Adam, I'll check it out, thank you robert.

JESUS, destroyed the wall of hostility

Why can't men reason with one another.

Galatians 5:14

I need scripture to answer a question presented to me , who decides which words are bad words and how do they decide, is it just somebody's opinion or is it scripture?

In Luke 24...The promise that Jesus our Lord spoke about to His followers is confirmed in Acts 2. Being filled with the Holy Spirit and one will receive power (dunamis; greek). Acts 2:38,39 explains that one repents, one receives salvation and one receives the promised (gift) of the Holy Spirit in His fullness. John baptized with water to repentance but Jesus baptizes in fire. When Jesus Christ ascended into heaven; He sat at the right hand of the Father on High and poured out His Holy Spirit on the believers who were already saved by the cross of Jesus Christ and His atoning blood. Now Acts reveals a gift from God which enables a true believer or believers in Jesus Christ to undergo His work on earth through His power...The result is 1st Corinthians 12 - 14; included within is the revealing of the gifts of the Holy Spirit....Jesus left us to be with His Father but did not forsake His Church but given Himself for us through His precious Spirit..

Hello Chris, Anyone that believes they can still sin after accepting Jesus as their Lord and Savior has a skewed vision of that Jesus accomplished at the cross. He either completed the job his Father sent him to do or he didn't There is no sitting on the fence on this one. One either believes they are completely freed from sin or they don't.

I am one that does not put the cross of Jesus to shame by saying and or believing that it's still possible for me to sin. In other words, at one time, I was a sinner because that was what the religion I belonged to taught me to believe and I believed that religion was teaching me the truth.. When God taught me the real Truth of what Jesus did for me it was a whole new ballgame

Always keep in mind that Paul had been raised since his birth under the Covenant Law because he was an Israelite of the tribe of Benjamin so it was far more difficult for Paul to see himself freed from the Covenant Law than it would be for someone that had never been raised under that Law.

Paul knew that Law he was living by since his conversion was the Law that was written in his heart and mind and he wished that for all his brethren, the Jews/Israelites, but he also knew they were not accepting Jesus Christ as their Messiah

When one comes to a complete understanding of exactly where Christ dwells and exactly where God dwells, they will absolutely know in their hearts and minds that sin has and never will have dominion over them

that was the Part 3... Yours In Christ, Lynn

Hello Chris, I agree Jesus was crucified because of false accusations because the Jews flat out wanted him dead. Pilate was put between a rock and a hard place with Jesus being brought before him so he gave the people to choice of what was to be done and it was the people that cried out crucify him

I completely understand what you are saying with the receiving of strong rebuttals IF one does not share the same belief that God has taught you. It is always my belief that IF someone cannot say, Oh, I never heard it that way before, that means to me, they are already set in their minds what they believe so best to avoid them We know we spoke the Word that God gave Us to speak and that is all that counts. The Word of God never comes back void so one day that Word will sink in

I agree the Covenant Law was and still is perfect in every way the difference is knowing whether just one jot or tittle of the Covenant Law applies to me/you or not, and the answer to that since Jesus's death on the cross is NO Not one jot or tittle of it applies to me/you or anyone else, UNLESS they have been taught to believe it does and they believe it IF they do believe it, it means they DO NOT believe in the cross as a finished workThere is a huge difference in the New Covenant Law that God writes in the hearts and minds of those that believe in the finished work versus those that believe the Old Covenant Law applies to them

This was in response to Part 2 of your post Lynn

Hello Chris, I have no idea if you live in America or somewhere else, however, as an American citizen I know the Constitution is set up to separate religious law from gov't law. We have the right to worship under any religion we so choose or not choose when it comes to worshiping God.

Since my complete understanding of the cross and what it did and has done for me, I no longer belong to any religion because I worship God in Spirit and in Truth. That means I know that God dwells within ALL His creation and that Christ dwells in me and me in Christ. Christ is sinless therefore IF I were to believe I could still sin, it would be putting the cross of Jesus to shame..

It appears to me that your religion has taught you to believe that you are still a sinner no matter what Jesus did for you at the cross. Is that correct? If so you would have to have an understanding of that religious doctrine in order to see if it agrees with the doctrine of Christ.

Long story short on Jesus being led up to be crucified. Jesus had never done anything worthy of death under the Jews Covenant Law and neither was he worthy of death under Roman Law He was put to death because they traded him for a murderer and the murderer was set free in his place

This was in answer to your Part 1 Lynn

Hello Chris,

Thank you for your responding... I have a lot of things to do today so will have to get back with you later but I will respond to what you have said when I get a chance... Lynn :)

Hello Adam, Here is the rest of the response I sent that appeared not to completely show up in the other post..

It appears to me that you have not believed with all your heart, mind, and soul that Jesus died for the sin of mankind on the cross. In other words according to what you have written, you believe you are still a sinner. So exactly what did Jesus's death do for you? Lynn

"Don't add and don't subtract, Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers."

Hello Adam,

I did give scripture references in a separate message but for some reason it was not posting on the site.. It had said, Thank you for the comment, but never evidently never showed up. Here again is what I had sent..

This is a copy of the Covenant Law that defines sin according to God's Covenant Law that He gave to Moses to give to the Israelites. Under this Covenant Law, yes, all the things you mention would be sin if this Law was transgressed by the person that believes this Covenant Law applies to them.

I had to delete the copy of the entire Covenant Law because the discussion site said external links were not allowed.. I was hoping that would be the quickest and easiest way to explain the Covenant Law versus the Law of the land in which one lives



Here one small section of Romans where Paul preached freedom from this Covenant Law for all those that believe it applies to them.

Romans 6:17 But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.

6:18 Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.

6:19 I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness.

6:20 For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness.

6:21 What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.

6:22 But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.

6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

It appears to me that you have not believed with all your heart, mind, and soul that Jesus died for the sin of mankind on the cross. In other words according to what you have written, you believe you

Comments by Alex about tithes and offerings the Law. Now our tithes are our bodies,present your bodies a living sacrfice etc. Our bodies are his temple as he said abide in me and i in you. Jesus has no respect for buildings made with mans hands. The new covenant is Christ in you the hope of Glory, He died for humanity not for Church buildings. He wants to be born in us sinners hearts not in your temple made with hands. Thats y he always refered to himself as the SON OF MAN, He wants to be born in our hearts not in some church building. Read Philipians 3 v 8 KJV Paul says i HAVE SUFFERED THE LOSS OF ALL THINGS AND COUNT THEM BUT DUNG THAT MIGHT WIN CHRIST and be found in him etc This is PAULS TAKE ON TITHES AND OFFERINGS I HAVE SUFFERED THE LOSS OF ALL THINGS AND COUNT THEM BUT DUNG THAT I MIGHT WIN CHRIST ETC.Paul had his eyes on JESUS and nothin else not on materialistic things. Like JESUS said set your effections on heavenly things. Labor NOT for the bread that perishes but for that bread that endures unto everlasting life. The Kingdom of God is not in meat or drink but in joy and peace in the H.G.What happened to early Christinanity, Jesus gave them up till she that goes into travail has given birth,and Catholicism came in which was of the devil. Joel said how do the priests and the ministers do mourn for the NEW WINE HAS BEEN CUT OFF FROM THEIR MOUTHS. THATS WHAT HAPPENED TO EARLY CHRISTIANITY IT WAS CUT OFF.It was a great Army but it was cut off till the woman gives birth which is the 2 nd coming Ezech. died bones testify of early Christianity that was cut off. Jesus said 4 times i will raise them up AGAIN the last day. My lil children of whom i travail in birth AGAIN. YA remember Batheheba had to travail a 2 nd time for the child of Promise. Jesus had to anoint the blindman a 2 nd time b/f he cd see clearly. It was the 2 nd wine that was the best wine that 3 rd day wine, we are in the 3 r day now. Catholicism/religions tried to come in and deceive humanity.

Can you help me understand Jeremiah 19:9-13?

I just opened a family bible I inherited and it is the only passage highlighted. It's a bit grim... and I would love to hear more about it in context from a scholar.

Thank you.

Just wondering what happened to all the comments I was getting

Please keep me in your prayers today

What is the Blessing from Numbers 6:24 called?

Warren, those are worthy thoughts you've expressed there: that to change the phrase "the fear of the LORD" to anything else, changes its meaning & implications to the reader. I feel that man has found that phrase to be outdated & confusing to anyone contemplating its meaning. It might, to them, present a loving, merciful God as One also filled with anger, unknowable & to be kept at a distance. And it's for this very reason that the Holy Character of God needs a full & complete explanation so none are kept in the dark, fearful or mystified to this God Who is personal & knowable.

Psalm 33:8: "Let all the earth fear the LORD: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him." An appropriate Psalm which should explain how our words should be used & to cause us to stop in our tracks if we dare to alter the Divine meaning of them. This Scripture declares that if the world is able to stand in awe (= admiration, astonishment, reverence, wonder) of the display & wonder of God, then they must first have the "fear of the LORD" within (fear = understanding the Character of God as we see Him as Holy & we are so unholy, Just as we are unjust, Merciful as we are unmerciful, Truthful as we harbour lies & deceit).

That we should cry out as Isaiah did ( Isa 6:5: "Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts."). This was not just a man beholding the Almighty in awe, but one who had to fall to his knees as he saw the absolute Holiness God revealing his sinfulness. This I see is a proper 'fear of the LORD' when we can understand & see with the spiritual eye Who God is that causes us to tremble before Him. Too many today have that 'casual chat with a Friend' approach to God & forget Who He is in the light of who they are.
