Burning is lusting - would you agree? Doesn't Paul contradict what Christ said about lusting? Nor, did Christ specify marriage. Christ said lusting is a sin in the heart.

Hi Rosie, Proverb 6:1

Surety for a friend is like co-signing on the car. Putting your own credit on the line for someone else. If you feel uneasy in your Spirit, please pray about it.

James 1:5

Repentance is necessary, true. Don't forget Jesus' words to Nicodemus earlier in this very chapter: "You MUST be born again of the WATER AND OF THE SPIRIT" if you want to claim being "born again". Peter told us how to do that on the day of Pentecost, when he, being filled with the Holy Spirit, addressed the crowd in Acts 2:38. That, my friends, is how one is truly "born again."

Here is another place in the Bible that supports not being a Christian island but instead, in humility supporting Jesus's bride the living church which is promised that the gates of hell will not prevail against her.

Hebrews 13:1

Let brotherly love continue.

From experience, the more the better!

Carleton, by love.

Pray for people in the Philippines; who have had many Large earthquakes in recent days

James 1:14-15

Jude 1:3-25

James 1:1-15

You have to read all 4 gospels (the Harmony) and the book of Acts to find these things out.

Read the center column references beside the verses for extra information.

You'll find that (Judas) Iscariot was written in a prophesy from Psalms. Jesus knew Judas would betray Him, upfront.

Some things you can google and find out how Jesus added each disciple into "the twelve". How they died, etc.

Attempting to help: you ask " Where do I go from here?"

To God Almighty in prayer & HIS Word.

For encouragement 2 Samuel 23:3,

Direction & wisdom : Proverbs

Understanding who Jesus is Mathew, Mark, Luke &/or John

Hope that's helpful

Christian, Do not be 'unequally yoked' to an UNBELIEVER. Search or google that.

The Bible says NOTHING about mixed race marriages. The "cultural issues" may doom the marriage tho. We are not to leave our faith and be converted to the others beliefs.

It could send the Christian into unbelief and apostasy; which is a road that leads to hell.

If you blaspheme the Holy Spirit And recant on your salvation through Jesus.

Consider that, before pleasures of the flesh.

Out of the mouth of 2 or 3 witnesses, let a thing be established. All must be in agreement, to be truth from the Lord.

We can be sitting ducks for false prophets, false teachers, wolves in sheep skins, Antichrist or his Antichrist spirit (demon).

Don't let your self be led into Apostasy. You could end up in hell.

Now go google on those words. Type Bible At the end of your question.

Francis, I'm going to pray for you. I don't want to falsely judge this situation by the few words you've stated. If you need help, please reach out to others, if this is regarding you & it's on going.

1:20-21; 2:2-4; 3:14-18; 4:7-8; 8:1-36 and 9:1-12. Each time wisdom speaks. The first time wisdom speaks is in Proverbs 1:20-21.

Wisdom shouts in the street,

She lifts her voice in the square;

At the head of the noisy streets she cries out;

At the entrance of the gates in the city she utters her sayings: Proverbs 1:20-21 (NASB)

The Hebrew word for wisdom is hakmot and this noun is a feminine plural. A literal reading would seem to be "Wisdom shouts in the street," except that the second line is in the singular - "she lifts her voice." F. C. Cook writes,

In the Hebrew the noun is a feminine plural . . . as though this Wisdom were the queen of all wisdoms, uniting in herself all their excellences.[1]

That is, since Proverbs 2:6 says that God gives wisdom, the wisdom in Proverbs is the queen of all wisdoms. There is no greater wisdom.

For the LORD gives wisdom;

From His mouth come knowledge and understanding;

He stores up sound wisdom for the upright;

He is a shield to those who walk uprightly . . . Proverbs 2:6-7 (NKJV)

Why Is Wisdom A Woman?

Why did Proverbs personify wisdom as a woman? The answer is we do not know because Scripture never tells us. However, many have speculated why wisdom is personified as a woman by suggesting different ideas, but we are never told. The explanations are merely speculation. It is wrong to state that Proverbs is written from a father to his son and then suggest that wisdom is personified as feminine in order to make wisdom appear attractive to the son when Proverbs 5:15-20 warns men to avoid prostitutes. Such a conclusion is contrary to the teaching of Scripture.

Others suggest that wisdom is feminine because the Hebrew word is assigned the feminine gender. But this conclusion is wrong since the grammatical structure clearly refers to a female such as in Proverbs 3:13-15 and 9:1.

Google this question. Mishael

From the Commentary Box

Cautions against rash suretiship. (1-5) A rebuke to slothfulness. (6-11) Seven things hateful to God. (12-19) Exhortations to walk according to God's commandments. (20-35)1-5 If we live as directed by the word of God, we shall find it profitable even in this present world. We are stewards of our worldly substance, and have to answer to the Lord for our disposal of it; to waste it in rash schemes, or such plans as may entangle us in difficulties and temptations, is wrong. A man ought never to be surety for more than he is able and willing to pay, and can afford to pay, without wronging his family; he ought to look upon every sum he is engaged for, as his own debt. If we must take all this care to get our debts to men forgiven, much more to obtain forgiveness with God. Humble thyself to him, make sure of Christ as thy Friend, to plead for thee; pray earnestly that thy sins may be pardoned, and that thou mayest be kept from going down to the pit.

Twice God allowed some kind of visual but not clearly. JAcob only saw his back. Moses only saw His Fire.

Go do a search on burning bush.

Naturally they were afraid because of, "no man can see God and live."

Other ways to find your answers is go all the way down to the 1-100 pages of Comment History. You will most likely see your question has already been answered.

Great question! I was just thinking about those recently & I realized a deeper thought about them. He said these things before HE actually lived them out as example, before HIS crucifixion.

Genesis 4:14-16,

Hebrews 11:32,

John 21:25

I'm interested if you got a response to your question?

The impulse to compare myself with the character in Psalm 15 is irresistible: like the sword in the stone, I can't resist giving it a tug. But, the Holy Spirit is true in His ministry ( John 16; 7-11): He helps me see that I fall short of the Glory revealed in those few verses. He also brings to mind Jesus in His ministry here on earth then I recognize that Psalm 15 is a portrait of Jesus, that the Glory belongs to Him. The Holy Spirit also comforts me regarding salvation: though I fall short of the Glory of God, "... He hath made Him to be sin for us Who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him. ( 2corinthians 5; 21)". Truly, the Glory belongs to Jesus and no other. Bless you Lord Jesus and blessed be your Holy Name!

Pray for my 10year old who feels alone stressed pray for him please he is very nice he has potential for completed things thanks for reading and praying

Just to add a little to discussion:

Personal experience it is like to many new believers it's learning everything again but better.

I thought just the other day about this issue.

Like learning to talk, eat, walk & act all over again, in the Spirit

Like not going places that cause sin before, not saying hurtful or offensive words etc.

Mathew 25:31-46, Mathew 7:15-24, Philippians 2:4-15, Jude 1:21-25

Great this is great make an app soon but great job anyway

Hi T. I'm a T also.

I actually had this discussion just the other day with someone. Please read Isaiah 1 vrs. 1-31, Isaiah 53 vrs. 1-12 , John 1:11-12,

John 17,

John 17:20

John 3:16

Good faith : Hebrews 11 vrs. 1-40, James 1 vrs. 1-4,

Bad faith, may be putting your trust in anything other than God.

Jesus is the True High Priest and is the Prince of Salem (Peace) like the order of Melchisedec. Jesus completely fulfilled the position of Melchisedec and Abraham the Father of Faith paid tribute to him with Levi in his loins. Now his believing children are spiritual Levites on earth while Jesus is in the heavens.

Hebrews 8 agrees that there was and is and always be only one offering of sacrifice (offered up). The born again believer by full remittance of sins becomes a chosen vessel, a royal priesthood in the order of a Levite priest (earthy) while Jesus remains the Heavenly Priest.

His Holy Spirit directs our Priestly ways concerning our very own Tabernacle, in the order of peace which is harmless and not defiled and separate from sin.

Our Father, I pray I may be delivered from Earthly debts and share all the goodness and blessings to come with those whose faces I have yet to see. I pray my strong Faith grow abundantly and be evident to all and may many more join in following the PATH given by our Lord Jesus Christ.Amen!

John 1;18 says no one has seen god ,what about jacob and mosas in gen.

I do not have a complete answer on your question of Why is wisdom a she. However, here are some things I learned, that are facts. In the judgment upon Adam and Eve, in Genesis chapter three, because Adam was the husband, he makes the final decision with the input of his wife. Adam chose against Jesus, and chose sin and death. Adam could of stopped the fall of man by saying no to Eve. It was the man's failure. 2. The son of Jehovah, Jesus, was born of The Holy Ghost in an immaculate conception and the seed of a Woman, Mary. The man, and his seed was not selected, but the seed of a woman. 3. In Jesus' resurrection he appears first to the women, and not to the Apostles. I learned that the faith of the women was greater than the Apostles, and the Apostles struggled to believe Jesus' prophecy about himself, and failed to believe the women. The women were of a stronger faith, and believed Jesus' teachings more than the Apostles. 4. In the beginning, the male and female were made in the image of God Genesis 1:27. Thus, the female is equal to the male, in her soul. 5. A woman's special role of bearing children and being a Mother provides her insight into her Creator Jesus, that the men shall never have. The Song of the Woman's soul sings her love song to her baby in the womb for the entire gestation, and creates a love bond between mother and child, that the father does not have.
