  • Lynn C Friend - In Reply on Ephesians 2 - 5 years ago
    Hello Chris, One must have a complete understanding of why ALL crimes are not sin... This is the reason Jesus could not be crucified according to the Covenant Law because he had done nothing worthy of sin so the Jews had him crucified under Roman Law, the law of the land. Paul was an expert in both Covenant Law and Roman Law, two completely different laws... Sin did not apply to Roman Law... Sin applies only to the Covenant Law that God gave to Moses to give to the Israelites... If one believes the Covenant Law that was given to the Israelites that defines sin, applies to them, that means that person has never believed in the finished work of the cross for their self...

    In other words, this is the reason one must have a complete understanding of why their was a need for a Savior and why their Savior is the Lord Jesus Christ..

    Everyone that has been freed for the Covenant Law, which is the Law of Sin and Death, has been freed via their belief that they were freed at the cross and that "sin" no longer applies to them...

    However that does not mean that "crime" does not apply because one is subject to the law of the land in which they live and if they break the law of the land they become a criminal and should pay the penalty that is required by the law of their land for that crime... Lynn :)
  • Chris - In Reply on Romans 13 - 5 years ago
    Joe, yes, Rom 13:1-7 does refer to the governments & legal system that have rule & authority by God to administer the necessary laws for the protection & welfare of society. And the apostle Paul states that we are to be subject to them because they are divinely appointed or even permitted by God to perform those functions.

    But your question & this passage raises other issues which may be perplexing to those who may be subject to the directives & laws of their governments that are actually "a terror to good works or don't appear to be God's minister executing wrath upon the evil". Of course, in our musings, we are reminded that Paul wrote all this whilst under the authority of the Roman government, which was renowned for its ruthless wickedness. So we have no excuse to debate this issue when our own governments appear to fall far short of God's Standards or of Paul's own instructions to us to obey such systems.

    So, in light of Scripture, I believe we still need to obey, or sometimes suffer, under our governments, as they are appointed by God, however knowing that most governments are godless by nature, we have to decide whether there is conflict by what they require and what God requires. So, I believe that in spite of this Romans passage which can be troubling to some who are under repressive & godless governments, believers are still in a position to obey them & come under their rule, yet oppose governmental directives & laws where they clearly oppose God's Directives to us. I personally find this Romans passage one of those difficult portions of Scripture to fully reconcile.

    Pro-creation. They had not eaten of the Tree of knowledge yet.
  • Chris - In Reply on Genesis 1 - 5 years ago
    What "matters of the flesh" are you thinking of? All 'animal' species intrinsically know what it takes to reproduce its own kind, so maybe you're thinking of some other matter.
  • Chris - In Reply on Ephesians 2 - 5 years ago
    All crimes are sin as the Bible determines. However, our governments don't like the word 'Sin' (it would be too religious & has an 'undesirable connotation') so we instead have the word 'crime'. So if someone commits murder, a righteous government would say: "a grievous sin has been committed before God & man" but you'll never hear that said.
  • Adam - In Reply on Ephesians 2 - 5 years ago
    Hi Lynn, I've never heard anyone say it's ok to kill people, especially from a Bible-reader, that its not immoral and not a sin, so this is a first. So, if this were true that civil law is the only thing making killing wrong then it would be totally fine to kill outside of a country's borders and laws? So its 100% fine for a Christian to harm others as long as there's no civil law where you are, such as in open waters, or on a remote island, or in space? Even most atheists and satan worshippers believe killing is immoral. The Bible does not support this idea and one would have to ignore a mountain of scripture to cherry pick something and massively distort it to even come remotely close to justifying this, however, I'm open to seeing your supporting scripture for this idea, because Jesus directly said he didn't destroy the law in Matthew 5:17. Paul still wrestled with sin and tried very hard to avoid it and this was after Jesus's resurrection, if there was no such thing as sin then Paul wouldn't have said all that in Romans 7. God bless.
  • Max Uribe on Genesis 1 - 5 years ago
    Why would man and woman be instructed to go forth and multiply if they knew not of matters of the flesh.
  • Lynn C Friend - In Reply on Ephesians 2 - 5 years ago
    Hello Adam, Jesus said that prior to his death and resurrection.. His death took away the sin of the world.. there are only 2 commandments, Love the Lord Thy God with all Thy Heart and all Thy mind and all Thy soul, and Love one another... On these 2 commandments rest ALL the Law and the Prophets...

    If a person kills/murders another deliberately, that is a crime, not a sin... The crime committed is judged according to the Law of the land in which one lives... Lynn

  • Abrahams Olasupo Kingsman - In Reply on Psalms 10 - 5 years ago
    Brother Kevin seems politically abscessed that he failed seeing that the key element here are the evil people that oppressed humans. The failure of the Church can never be corrected by the politicians. The church has the burden responsibility to pray out the snakes that hide beneath the evangelicals to perpetrate their hatreds for the poor immigrants and the down trodden. Please read the Bible with the open heart and the Holy Ghost!
  • Elizabeth on Revelation 12 - 5 years ago

Thank You and God Bless. Matthew 18:20 says For where two or three are gather together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. Please p;ease help me pray for her and others who could be in a simmular cituation.
  • Alex on Isaiah 42:1 - 5 years ago
    Alex comments about Isaiah 42 th Elect, the Promised ones,Jesus neva refered to any man as the Elect, the Promised one. He only refered to the H.G. as PROMISED ONE. Simply b/c we were all born by the will of some man. But its only the H.G. that is born by the will of God in humanity. Thats y we must be bornagain of an incorruptible seed even by the words of God, thats y he said that which is born of the SPIRIT IS SPIRIT thats our new innerman the H.G. his name sake that is not born of flesh nor of the will of man, nor of blood but only by the WILL OF GOD IN OUR HEARTS via that good seed etc. The H.G. is not a flesh and blood being and he is only born by the will of God in mans hearts and he is the ELECT the PROMISE CHILD The multiplIcation of CHRIST, THAT WAS THE PROMISE THAT CHRIST WD BE MULTIPLIED AS THE STARS OF HEAVEN THUS THE H.G IS TRULY THE ELECT, THE CHILD OF PROMISE.And he and only he shall judge the world as Jesus said when he the Spirit of truth is come he will reprove the world of sin and judgement and righteousness etc.All the animals in Isaiah 11 is humanity the lil child that leads them is the H.G. ( the babes and sucklings ) ARE HIS CHILDREN THAT ARE GONA LEAD US INTO ALL TRUTH. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain ( the H.G. ) The kingdom of God,Unless you receive the Kingdom of God as a lil Child you will in no wise enter there in. Knowledge shall cover the earth as the waters cover the seas thus there shall be no more seas of humanity without the knowledge of God. I will KNOW them all from the least to the greatest IMPLING A BIRTH OF CHRIST IN US. GB
  • Sarah McGinnis on Revelation 12 - 5 years ago
    Please can everyone pray very hard for me. I'm 40 this year my sister was 30 my best friend is 50 my uncle Michael 60. My best friend is catholic and a heavy goth.her birthday is Halloween day. Her daughters is Christmas Day. Last June she went a bit weird and spray painted everything in her house black she also started with odd behaviour towards me. My uncle the 1 I speak to on my mums side of family she has died and she has 13 brothers and sisters and every one of the others are very bad people. Started telling me odd things it turns out I have a huge inheritance and my bad family trying to kill me. I went to police etc. I haven't worked out yet where it is because I have unraveled a huge family lie even my dads side of family are lying too me so I can trust no one. They are still after me but I have made us safe. My dad was catholic and he hated it so did his dad. My mum was Christian and she was a very good one. Me and my sister was told we didn't get christened so we could choose our own faith. All my life I hated it. I always believed in god always wore a crucifix. That was a lie I'm christened and my sister is catholic. All the birth certs have been tampered with. I do not have a surname on mine at all I'm just called Sarah Louise. It goes on and on. I lost faith years ago. I never told my mum and dad though. I re-found my faith in may when I nearly died. I'm reading the black family bible which has been handed down from family since 1881. My daughter told me a spirit gave her a message for me to look in the King James Bible and I would find the money now my daughter also said don't talk to your best friend she is a demon and so is my sister. She loves these people she has told me things she couldn't possibly know so I believe her. It goes on but what I'm asking for is forgiveness for losing my faith. everyone pray for me to help me find the answer and end this holy war. Money is the root of all evil I can't believe this is happening too me. Please pray.

  • Alex on Isaiah 53 - 5 years ago
    Comments by Alex about his death and resurrection which is gonna fulfill the LAW. Sin in the transgression of the law. But if them that are born of God cannot sin b/c his seed the living word is with in them ( Christ in us ) then the LAW IS FULFILLED simply b/c them that are born of GOD cannot sin, Its gonna make it impossible to sin when his kingdom is with in US Christ in US ETC. And thats how he will fulfill the LAW. We will all love God with all our hearts and our neighbors as ourselves, Love is the fulfillment of the LAW. But there is no divine love without Christ in us. The seed that is gona remain in us is the H.G. the seed of God our husband etc. Thats what true conversion is all about, we are gona birth a baby Christ THE SON OF MAN, THE H.G. THAT IS GONNA RULE ALL NATIONS, Simply b/c he is gona be born in the hearts of every man,remember Jeremiah saw ALL men in travail and birth pains,He was trying to tell us something everytime he refered to himself as the SON OF MAN,Mankind is gonna birth a baby Christ making it impossible to sin,Thus fulfilling the law, thus we will keep the commandments b/c we cannot sin,its gonna be impossible to sin simply b/c the manchild our new innerman is God,The new covenant is a birthing covenant he is gona put his seeds WORDS in our hearts and minds, THUS A NEW INNERMAN WHICH IS OUR NEW HEART AND NEW SPIRIT, That new heaven and new earth is simply our new innerman which is Christ in US, his seed and his name is that new earth and new heaven as Isaiah said.If we birth the Child which is the H.G a living being via his seed the Word we will keep the commandments remember the woman in rev 12 who births the Child keeps the commandments simply b/c the CHILD IS THE kingdom our king the SON OF MAN ETC OUR FRUIT UNTO GOD. All the law will be fulfilled simply b/c Christ is gona live with in US. ya think that we are gona go around breaking the law while Christ is living with us no. them that are born of GOD CANNOT SIN. gbu

  • Sheila on Revelation 9:11 - 5 years ago
    Im confused, is Abaddon, Gods angel or demonic? Why would Jesus give up his keys to hell to a demon? If he is the destroying angel used by God to cause harm to evil people, doesnt that make him good?

  • Dinah latcham on Matthew 27 - 5 years ago
    Lorenzo gen 22

    Thank you for your reply to my question on Abraham and Isaac

    This is what I'm getting at ...these things can come from your own head(wicked reasoning) .

    I am not questions Abraham or his faith in the LORD ,but just because he believed it was the True God did not make it necessarily so..... There is another interested party in all this that wanted to scuttle the Lords purpose in bringing mankind to its former good standing by his only begotten son Jesus the Christ

    How many times in history has he become an angle of light and tricked someone, Jesus warned us about , the wolf. Angle of light. The false prophet. The anti Christ . The leaven of the Pharisee . The son of perdition. And so on.

    My thoughts are that Abraham was probable tricked. Almighty God saved him from doing the deed because he had been tricked by that False God which many people in the world today are still chasing after. ( You will not be tested beyond what you can bear but he will make the way out for you so you are able bear it. ) Satan has tried to distroyed the Lords purpose and has failed every time and his end is near ,...... Down to the earth with great anger knowing he has but a short period of time.

    Jesus said " it is finished, I have conquered.

    Praise the Lord
  • Spike4187 - In Reply on 2 Samuel 1 - 5 years ago
    Chris. I thank you again for helping me understand better some of the areas of contention in the Bible. I have been thinking of these things for some time now. I remember what Paul said, who wrote a letter to the Corinthians at 13:12 he writes something a bit odd. "For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. It would be so much easier if the text would just say exactly what it means and rule out any other possibility. I can only assume that God has made it this way because he wants us to investigate his word a little further, to study it better. I can also assume, now matter how well it is explained, there will always be someone who will still see something different in the text and of course we have the deceiver who will cleverly mix the words as he attempts to confuse and deceive people. You have helped me realize my gut feeling was not wrong.
  • Dinah latcham on Genesis 22 - 5 years ago
    In the light of what our Lord God said thet with evil things he wouldn't test anyone and the law that was given to Noah about killing anyone, and the demand that Satan made that the hedge should be taken away from Job so that he could test him ,and Job said "should I not take what is good from Almighty God and not what is bad also" and he was given a scolding by God for saying that.

    Also that the sacrifice should be on Mount Maria thus desecrating the place that the Lord God had designated for his temple and the land that he took as his portion for the seed to be take care of that produce Jesus the messiah (as Satan had won his right to be ruler of the word over Adam sin )

    And by no means last the Lord said about the people passing their children through the fire ( Molach) that it has never ever come up into his heart to ask them to do that.

    "Let God be found true though every man prove to be a liar".

    Thank you for you reply to my first question... I was surprised it ever got to you this is all new to me and I haven't yet worked it out how to corrispond.

    May the Holy Spirit be with you in all you do Dinah
  • 1 Peter 3 - In Reply on Matthew 10:5 - 5 years ago
    Sometimes you just have to read it slower to pick up the meaning.

    1 Peter 3

    8 Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous:

    9 NOT rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing.

    10 For he that will love life, and see good days, let him REFRAIN his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile:

    11 Let him eschew (avoid) evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue (follow) it.

    12 For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open to their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil.

    Mishael: there's no controversy to what you read. I read Genesis and Revelation at a snails pace. Genesis sometimes jumps forward; sometimes it adds more information, or points backward.

    It helps tremendously to get a Bible with Center of Each Page, Reference Columns.

    (See the abc notes?). It adds more info; or it fast forwards to fulfillment; or it will point to a prophesy about Jesus, etc.

    Before too long, you'll be teaching. I always ask the Holy Spirit to show me what I am reading.

    Like, if you're reading about Cain; it helps to read all the way through to his death and a little past that. Read the reference columns too as you move along.

  • Sarah - In Reply on Deuteronomy 22:5 - 5 years ago
    ..let me add to your comment sananka, that since those being led by those blind leaders are also blind ..they are women wearing men's clothes and are blind to how they look..they actually think its ok...yep it's ok ladies to wear men's garments....because nobody sees them as men's pants..they're women's pants..ok? naked..and don't even know it.

    well according to revelation 3..the church is full of undressed members that don't see their nakedness..consider this...women are wearing pants and donte even see that they're dressing like a man..an abominatiin and dont even know it.. not a deliberate act..they are blind. but have you tried telling those ladies they're an abomination to god for wearing men's clothes..i.e pants..????

    the devil has the women of this age in his cunning deception...look..the men are not blind..they will wear a skirt as a deliberate act of defiance..but the women wear pants and are none the wiser..see where the devil has worked on eve?? because she was designed to be that way..totally deluded..blind to her. nakedness and blind to abominable clotbes.. by nature that woman is deceivable ..get back to your husband the word eve..

    now read deuteronomy 22:5 again with your eyes open...
