Glad you continue with us here.
The Lord told Israel in Ezekiel 36:27 he will put his spirit within them, and cause them to walk in his statutes, and they shall keep his judgments, and do them.
This is also what he does for us Gentiles. If we all agree Israel is saved "or is to be saved" the same way we are then the Holyspirit that directs their walk is the same that directs ours.
If we agree we all sin and no one can present themselves perfect but yet you can forfeit your salvation, What percentage of your sins you have to repent from to be saved?
What percentage of sins you have to commit before you lose your salvation?
Ephesians 2:4-6 says "But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
EVEN WHEN WE WERE DEAD IN SINS, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)
( He made us alive WITH CHRIST)
And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
How long does that mercy last?
Does our imperfect nature forfeit God's mercy?
God's Commandments, statutes, and judgments are perfect!
The Holyspirit drives us to perform them perfectly.
However we stumble at the perfection in the Law and sin against it even in our imperfect minds.
Even the restraint from sin let's us know we are sinners in need of God's mercy.
Paul says, in Romans 7:24 "O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?
You can't do anything to gain salvation and you can't do anything to hold it.
If it's not the Holyspirit that is regenerating you then you are not saved even if you supposedly stopped sinning.
Salvation is a new life, one from above with a repentant heart.
Your walk testifies of this rebirth.
Salvation comes before Sanctification and Sanctification Is a continuing work of the Holyspirit.
God bless.
Exodus 6:20 is part of the Old Testament in the Bible, and it mentions the genealogy of Moses and Aaron. The verse reads:
"Amram married his father's sister Jochebed, who bore him Aaron and Moses. Amram lived 137 years."
So, based on this verse, Amram, the father of Moses and Aaron, married his father's sister, Jochebed. This would indeed mean that Amram married his aunt, according to the genealogy described in the Bible. In the context of the time and the cultural norms of that era, such marriages were not uncommon. However, it's essential to interpret these historical accounts within their cultural and historical context.
In love...
The numbers 77 or 777 or 77777 and all of them being connected to the words Jesus, Christ, Holy Spirit, LORD, or God, this is the LORD showing us who are alive today just how PERFECT HE MADE HIS WORD.
It only confirms the Words of the LORD are pure words! ( Ps 12:6-7) ( Proverbs 30:5-6) They are Perfect in 1 Bible ONLY!
The KJB!
Here's one example.
KJB ( Col 1:4) "In whom we have redemption through his blood"
The Nasb says "in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins"
Which verse would you say is Perfect?
Blessings to you.
But in your reply to Rainwater you forget to confim by the Word of GOD what you said in your post unto him.
You said: "Oseas, that's kinda my point, where is this 7 year trib?"
Well, it is in the Word of GOD, of course, have you never read or did not understand? No surprise, for JESUS said: (whoso readeth, let him understand:)Matthew.24:15
I'm assuming this presence is not peaceful, or you would not want it to leave. If it is not peaceful, it is not from the Holy Spirit. Peace has no other Source. Thou shall have no other Gods before Him because there are no other gods; being false (unreal). Yet, there APPEARS to be another which ALL pay homage to: ego, the self (small "s"). The ego is part of the mind that believes in separation from it's Creator is possible, which in itself is the most fearful experience the ego has convinced us of. Unlike the Holy Spirit, the ego is suspicious at best, and vicious at its worst, and does not love you. It knows nothing of peace.
Love creates Itself and NOTHING but Itself. This Self (capital "S") is your reality. Therefore this negative presence is not your reality, due to the fact that ego (us) is the author of fear - which is hate. The Bible states that there is NO fear in love, but perfect Love drives out fear, BECAUSE fear has to do with punishment. Thus it is obvious that we are the author of fear AND punishment, and yet many project fear and punishment and evil onto God Who is Love. Love can NEVER coexist with evil or have ANYTHING in common with that which is the source of that which is the opposite of God. Not a soul could possibly remember God until they search out everything that God is NOT. This is necessary because the ego has made up a divided God who opposes itself, and we believe in what we've made.
The ego must be relinquished in order that we will inevitably recognize our holiness and Who Love is. To recognize means to know again, implying we new before.
My friend, there is a silence in which the world cannot intrude. There is an ancient peace you carry in your heart, and have NOT lost. There is a sense of holiness in you the thought of sin has never touched.
You asked for prayer: Father I pray for this perfect creation to focus her mind on finding this silence, ancient peace, and holiness. In Jesus Name
A visitor to a large Church wandered into a back room accidentally. In this room were Money Counters and a Enormous amount of money laid across the tables. He was embarrassed and apologized and the Counters were shocked that someone would walk in. One of the Counters trying to get rid of the awkwardness said , Well The Church can't say Silver and Gold have I None anymore. As He closed the door, God spoke to Him and He stuck His head back around and said, No and neither can They say Rise and Walk in The Name of Jesus. The Tenth is upheld by a Religious Organization that mirrors that of Christ's day. Burdens too Grievous to be bourne for so Many. I am a Minister,a Pastor. I understand the Financial needs of the Church. But this Doctrine of not paying a Tenth is Jeopardizing Your Soul or if you only pay a fifth, etc,just keep it. You are going to be Cursed and Die and go to Hell is Blasphemous. It's Rejecting the Works and Salvation of God. Paul said to Give as You have Prospered . Jesus said whatever You have freely received then freely give. Now,,, if You are willing to Walk by Faith and not by SIGHT and trust God. You will begin to give beyond Your means. Not because of a Denomination or Man or Pressure. But God is going to deal with You and test You and see if You are Trustworthy. The reason a lot of People don't have much or struggle financially continually even in the Church is because They are not Givers. I gave 20 dollars in 1996 when I had literally 23 dollars. God put the 20 in My hand that Night .
We are human and we will sin, it has been passed down from the first Adam. As long as we are faithful, repentant, and obedient, the blood that Jesus made available on the cross as payment for the penalty of sin will cover and blot out our sins and we will be in the mercy and grace of God. Will we ever be free from sin? Yes. When we are raised by the same Spirit that raised Jesus, we as mortals will then put on immortality and this corruptible will put on incorruption.
If we say we can be sin-free, we claim something that scripture says we are incapable of, only one man has lived a perfect sinless life and that is our Lord Jesus Christ. Are we to strive to be sinless every day, Yes. Our sins can be covered and blotted out by the righteousness of God through Jesus Christ, but they are still our sins and until we are resurrected, we will not be free from sin. We are sown in dishonor and are raised in glory.
1 Cor. 15:52-58 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. 54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. 55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? 56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. 57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

Thanks for the reply.
I'm on the road, Hopefully I will get the chance to give my response by this weekend.
God bless
do you believe you'll ever overcome sin / satan ?
Jeremiah 29:11 (KJV) 11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
Thank you, I did use 1 Cor. 9:25-27 there are many other scriptures on this but I try to keep my posts as short as I can. I agree the longer we walk in the Spirit the stronger our faith becomes. Our repentance and our obedience keep us in a relationship through the Spirit of God with Jesus and through this faith given to us by God it becomes easier to say no to the temptations that come against us.
Our obedience and our conscience reveal who we are servants to, and we must stay obedient unto righteousness, Rom. 6:16. Nothing can separate us from the love of Christ, and as you said only sin separates us from God that is why if we fail to stay repentant and obedient, we fall out of His mercy and grace and our sins will no longer be covered and if we do not repent and return, we will perish and pay the penalty. My understanding is that is our choice, many are called few are chosen, Matt. 22:14.
If someone wants to do a word study that will be worth the time it would be on the little word if. If is a little word but is important, it expresses directly to our responsibility to God. If we hold fast the confidence, Heb. 3:6 If we faint not, Gal. 6:9 If ye continue in the faith, Col. 1:23 If ye do these things, 2 Peter 1:10 If we say that we have no sin, 1 John 1:8, many many more.
God bless,

I go to see the eye doctor next month. So I will know more then when I will schedule these eye surgeries.
The comments remind me of Matthew 24:49 as to fellowservants that are trying to get the message across about the King coming soon; and the bride being snatched. Zephaniah 2:3 is one of those O.T. nuggets about being delivered before wrath begins. I don't argue about whether it is man's wrath; Satan's or Gods anyway since it is all under God's judgment. What is different is that once the Trib. starts things are all going to happen in sequence all 21 judgments PLUS what the 2 Prophets decide to dish out. Another argument is that Pretribbers left behind will fall for Antichrist; and I may agree partially that those who are NOT praying to escape ALL things to come to pass ( Luke 21:36; see also Rev. 3:10) may either not be real believers or the rapture is a reward issue; all of God's children are saved but some need their garments washed through martyrdom (that is my contention if they have garments in the first place they must be saved; whether or not they are new Trib saints or ones stained that are left behind such as with Zechariah 8:3. However we are to buy oil or be tried as gold in the fire may mean refinement in the Tribulation; but since that is unpopular I won't force the issue and be open to all believers being raptured.
Post Tribbers can be fooled if they think the Beast is making the world ready for Christ also.
Napoleon Bonaparte: "The Bible is no mere book, but a Living Creature, with a power that conquers all that oppose it."
We should not accept that sin will always play a part in our lives!
God is not a sinner, and if you are a true child of God you will not be saying you can't stop sinning. Worse than telling yourself that you can't stop sinning, is telling others that they can't stop sinning! The phrase misery loves company is so true here. This mindset is wrong, and goes directly agains all of the bible scripture.This thought that you can never stop sinning is from Satan, and he has convinced you that you can't stop sinning. If you believe this , and live this, you will certainly die as a sinner, and never achieve becoming a true child of God.
God's children strive to live without sin, and eventually succeed and win the race! Those who have been born of God (Born Again) should no longer be a part of this world (we have died to this world) and we should no longer be slaves to satan/sin that is inherent to the world.
So, if we are truly Born Again we are now becoming the children of God and not children of this world.
Scripture goes on to state that children of God are gods: I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High. Psalm 82:6
But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. John 1:12-13
Matthew 12:50 "For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother."
Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. Matthew 5:48
