    Great exegesis Brother S Spencer,

    I've enjoyed reading your posts even though our views don't always agree they are always grounded in sound biblical doctrine. I can tell you are a true child of the light. I can't say that about everyone here.

    AMEN, Brother S Spencer:

    Psalms 107:20 He SENT his WORD, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.

    Sister Jema:

    Psalms 104:24 O Lord, how manifold are THY WORKS, in wisdom that thou MADE THEM ALL: the earth is full of THY riches.

    Psalms 104:25 So is this great and wide sea (of humanity), wherein are things creeping inumberal, both small and great BEAST.

    Psalms 104:26 There go the ships (all people): there is THAT LEVIATHAN (the carnal mind) made (by God) to PLAY THEREIN (the people).

    Psalms 104:27 THESE (all people) all wait upon thee, that thou mayest GIVE THEM their meat in DUE SEASON.

    Psalms 107:8 Oh that man would praise the Lord for his goodness, for his WONDERFUL WORKS to the children of men.

    God Bless YOU!

    Even Jesus Christ the son of God HIMSELF had to put up with this mingled condition even within his own band of disciples!

    Judas Iscariot the thief and betrayer of Jesus Christ.

    1 John 2:19 (KJV) 19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.

    1Jn 2:19 These false teachers were professing Christians who once associated with the apostles. However, in heart they were not really one with true believers, and they showed this by going out from the fellowship. If they had been of us, they would have continued with us. Here we learn that true faith always has the quality of permanence. If a man has really been born again, he will go on for the Lord. It does not mean that we are saved by enduring to the end, but rather that those who endure to the end are really saved. The false teachers went out that they might be made manifest, that none of them were of us.

    Isaiah 62:5 (KJV) For as a young man marrieth a virgin, so shall thy sons marry thee: and as the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, so shall thy God rejoice over thee.

    Isaiah 62:5 is indeed a poetic and metaphorical passage that compares the relationship between God and the people of Israel to that of a young man marrying a virgin and a bridegroom rejoicing over the bride. It emphasizes the joy and love that God has for His people. This passage is often cited to illustrate the intimate and loving nature of the relationship between God and His people.

    However, it's important to note that this passage, like many in the Bible, is metaphorical and symbolic in nature. It uses the imagery of a marital relationship to convey the idea of God's deep love and care for His people. It is not meant to be taken as a direct instruction for individuals to view themselves as the "wife of Christ" in the same way that human marriages are understood.

    > Rev 21:9 .... I will show you the bride (both men and women), the Lamb's WIFE .......

    Revelation 21:9 uses metaphorical language, likening believers to Christ's bride to convey a close spiritual relationship, not a literal marriage. Not to be used in support of Ephesians

    >Repent means to change ones BELIEFS.

    One may ask for forgiveness from sin and obtain it, but that doesn't mean they truly repented from that sin. TRUE repentance is like a burning house you don't go back to it!

    Please don't insinuate I need to "repent" as I am not the one who wrote blasphemous statements such as the one below in your original post below.

    As a added nail to the Scriptural Truth & confimation of the doctrine of perfection in this present life

    1Pet 4:1

    we must be still in our mortal flesh, to suffer in the flesh, & to cease from sin

    its the working of Grace / Cross in denying ungodliness & worldly lust that the carnal minded, which is in enmity against God that must be crucify & the learning of righteousness is the suffering described here,

    As we continue in well doing, ever increasing in the measure of His Spirit

    we come to Psalms 40:8

    I spoke to Chris once about this, but it's worth saying it again, my present measure is in the state of man before he fell, yet still capable of falling, & I have ! I found that in humility, 'Truth in the inward parts" & confessing the least motions of His convictions within my conscience is the key to growing in Grace. I learn to love it when He nails me, its His judgment of lovingkindness drawing me closer to Him, instilling in me the fear of the Lord & by continuing in this state of brokeness I receive strenght to overcome all the wiles of the devil, thus far 1 Thessalonians 5:24

    What God requires is that we walk according to the Truth that we know, as we abide in it, it cleanses us through the continuing exercising of the Grace received, once we mature in that present measure, God gives the increase & the process of sanctification of the Spirit unto obedience & Sprinkling of the Blood/Life of Jesus within us increases, until that final day of Luke 3:16,17 refer to Rom 6:3-5 2Pet 1:19 "not I, but Christ

    Folks, awake to Righteousness & Christ will give you Life

    with all that be open on the subject, those who willful choose not to believe, will have no excuse when they stand before a Holy Holy Holy God to give an account of the Light that's has been reveal to them, folks please consider.

    Another thought, in light of the whole of Scriptures, only the devil influnence upon mankind would plead to remain in unbelief & sin, this doctrine come only from Rev 17:5

    Greetings in Christ JESUS, "Bennymkje"

    "In the beginning God created the heaven(s) and the earth." Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the Word of GOD(the Word is GOD, self-executing), so that things which are seen WERE NOT MADE of things which do appear.

    In the beginning-in JESUS- GOD the Father created the 1st,2nd,and 3rd heavens(this is the next to be established- Luke 20:35-36, combined with 2Corinthians 12:1-4, and Revelation 11:15-18), and the heaven of the heavens. By the way, "the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same Word are kept in store, reserved unto FIRE against the Day of Judgment (this Day arrived, that is the seventh and last Day, or seventh and last millennium) and perdition of ungodly men. NOTE: The heavens which will be burned from now on is the 1st and 2nd heavens, the 3rd will be established, and "unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath"- Matthew 25:29.

    Furthermore, GOD revealed the creation to Moses around 2.500 years after Adam or 1500 years BC. JESUS, the Greater Light- Genesis 1:16- came in the fourth Day, around 4.000 years after Adam. John 5:17 - JESUS said: My Father worketh hitherto, and I work. According Chistian calendar from JESUS until the present time passed more around 2.000 years, so we are living in the beginning of first century of the seventh and last millennium or seventh and last Day, the LORD's Day. Therefore, GOD RESTS DOWN FROM HIS WORKS FROM NOW ON.

    "In the beginning-IN JESUS- GOD -the Father - created the heaven(s) and the earth - earth here is Israel, still in the embryo, and not the planet Earth where GOD sits Himself - Isaiah 40- ,for Israel as a nation was created around 2500 years after Adam.

    John 1:3-5

    The light shineth in darkness;and the darkness comprehended it not. All things were made by JESUS; and without Him was not any thing made that was made.

    Brother Jordyn

    You said"Babylon fell when Christ died on the cross.Creation was married to Christ at his resurrection".

    You are saying that, but does not fit together the Word of GOD. What matters and prevails is the Word of GOD,the Word is GOD,self-executing,undersntand?What does the Word of GOD say for you and all? Come out of Babylon, MY PEOPLE, that you be not partakers of her sins,and that you receive not of her plagues.

    Wake up, wake up, it's midnight.And the sins of Babylon have reached unto HEAVEN, and GOD has remembered her iniquities.

    Therefore shall her plagues come in one Day(in the seventh and last Day, it is now, even now, from now on, understand?),death, and mourning,and famine;and she shall be utterly burned with fire:for strong is the Lord GOD who Judges her.

    Remember Revelation 18:20-23

    20Rejoice over Babylon, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for GOD has avenged you on her.

    21And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying,Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.

    22And the voice of harpers,and musicians,and of pipers,and trumpeters,shall be heard no more at all in thee;and no craftsman,of whatsoever craft he be,shall be found any more in thee;and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee;

    23And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee:for thy merchants were the great men of the earth;for by thy sorceries were ALL NATIONS deceived.

    There will be a War(Rev.12 combined with Revelation 16:13-15)against Babylon.

    Get ready

    1Corinthians15:24-27

    24 The END cometh, when JESUS shall have delivered up the Kingdom to GOD, even the Father; when He shall have PUT DOWN all RULE, and ALL AUTHORITY, and POWER

    25 For He must reign, till He hath put all enemies under His feet

    26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed

    Ge.1:11-13 "After His Kind"

    11And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.

    Jesus Christ is the visible image of the invisible God. Let us apply the worlds framed by the word of God (He.11:3) and the life of vegetation also derives from it. "In him was life; and the life was the light of men."( John 1:4)The same holiness transcribes the Law in the case of plant life. " A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit"(Matt.7:18) A herb yielding seed seasons the dish presented at the table. If it is not subject to law can we depend on it? One day it adds 'zing' to your palate and next it may be poison.

    12And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

    Herb yielding seed after his kind is an objective lesson from the word sent forth by God. It applied to his Son and i applies to animate and inanimate world. In the quantum world exists an exclusion principle so 'no two electrons in the same atom can have identical values for all four of their quantum numbers'.

    The word of God is sound and signs so when we read of the glory of grass it is in context of the glory of the Son "For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away."(1 Pe.1:24) The Preacher calls it as 'vanity' and it is also a sign.

    13And the evening and the morning were the third day.

    The command number Three signifies the Son and the familiar phrase the morning and the evening were' shows us him as the tree of life.(Re.22:2)

    "LIKEWISE RECKON" ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin,

    What does Paul mean by saying "LIKEWISE RECKON"?

    Obviously Paul we are warned we shouldn't continue in sin after being saved by grace as Paul mentioned in Romans 5:15-21. through Romans 6:1-2.

    Paul goes on in verses 3-4. "Know ye not, that so many of us as were BAPTIZED INTO JESUS CHRIST were baptized into his death?

    Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so WE ALSO SHOULD WALK IN NEWNESS OF LIFE.

    Paul goes on in verses 6-7- "Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not SERVE sin.

    For he that is dead is freed from sin.

    Verses 9-11.

    Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.

    For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.

    LIKEWISE RECKON YE ALSO YOURSELVES TO BE DEAD INDEED UNTO SIN, BUT ALIVE UNTO GOD through Jesus Christ our Lord.

    Paul is talking to Believers!

    Paul is urging believers to "RECOGNIZE" you wasn't just Identified with Christ death in baptism,

    You should also be Identified in his ressurection and have newness of Life.

    God didn't just offer Christ as a free gift for those who believe unto Salvation. SALVATION IS A NEW LIFE.

    ( PAUL IS SAYING RECOGNIZE THAT SIN SHOULDN'T DOMINATE IN A BELIEVERS LIFE. )

    Does this makes you perfect?

    No, not CONDITIONALLY.

    Shall we resist sin? Yes

    We are perfect POSITIONALLY

    Colossians 3:1-4.

    We have been given an earnest of the Spirit, will be perfect CONDITIONALLY and glorified when we cast off this tabernacle/ Body of sin.

    God bless.

    Ge.1: 9-10

    "And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so;And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good."



    On second day he defined the light in terms of 'works wrought in God." It has a quality that darkness cannot comprehend. "And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not."( John 1:5) The similar separation was introduced by a firmament between waters above and waters below. This serves as a face so whosoever on the darkness may seek and find light. "The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up."(Matt.4:16;Is.9:2).

    This explains the quality of mercy.

    The Spirit moving upon the face of the waters did it so for a purpose. There is a certain knowledge in the face. Even adulterous and wicked generation looks for signs therein. This knowledge is different than what is in the face,"For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ."(2 Co.4:6). This face serves as a looking glass for man individually as well as whole mankind. On the cross the malefactor saw this knowledge,"And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom." ( Luke 23:41-43). What work did he do to ask a favor? He got it without trying, is it not? Here we see grace. By Jesus Christ came grace and truth. In short the separation of waters above from below is to give a body to holiness of God. This is the mercy of God embodied in the Son.(Ec.1:4)

    This clarifies still further: as gathering of seas and the dry land. Holiness of God through his Son sets this seal on a firm basis."God knows who are his." (2 Ti.2:19). Where does it lead to? "And there was no more sea."
  • Bennymkje - 1 year ago
    "And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day." (v.8)

    God named heaven so our heavenly calling is not a random call. In separation of light from darkness his holiness set his seal of approval of the works of the light. "But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God." Works of light therefore have transparency as it were. The reason is simple. It is wrought in God. The Holy Spirit gives us a clear proof: Believe in the Son who He sent. "Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent. " (John6:29) By the same token the chief priests, elders and those who rejected him, hated the true Light that made their evil point an accusatory finger at them. " For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved."( John 3:20-21)

    The Spirit gives us a sequence of events coming under the second day. The Spirit moved upon the face of the waters sets of their own development so steam rising when the sun heats a body of water to form clouds or wind blowing owing to variation in pressures obey laws of nature. These laws are subject to the Word which is the Law. Word is a sign so the spirit works. "The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit."( John 3:8) This invisible quality of the Spirit that any heart can hear is in harmony with holiness of God. It is thus God separated waters. Consequently mercy of God from above can work with the earth. The firmament is a face, which when the three magi looked at it saw the wondrous sign."Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east,"(Matt.2:1-2) It is thus deep calls unto the deep which is non verbal communication of the Spirit.

    Are you saying that ' so many of our churches are out of order ' because wives refuse to submit to their husbands ? That's not the case in my congregation . Wives are expected to and as far as I know do . In the last ten years in my congregation we have disfellowshiped a married man for sex offenses against children , another married man infected his wife with HIV because he was sleeping with men , another man stabbed himself and said he was attacked in order to claim compensation , and another married man had been having an extramarital affair behind his wife's back for ten years . These men were all disfellowshiped by our congregation . Their wives are still with us . Before long we won't have any men left ! Their obedient wives are well rid of them ! God sees all , you and I do not . He knows everything that goes on everywhere , we barely know what goes on in our own house . Be aware that God hears your accusations and judgements and you will have to give account of every word that comes out of your mouth .

    5. And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

    Day is many things to many people. It pleased the Father that in Jesus should all fulness dwell, So days, ages, the first and last, the beginning and the ending, Alpha and Omega must be explained in terms of his deity and humanity."Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof' (Matt.6:34) from the context refers to a period of time ie., of 24 hours. Whereas 'Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee."(Ps.2:7b) belongs to a time that only God shall know. Within which all shades of meaning mentioned above must fit in. Be that as it may in the Genesis account 'the seven days' serve as seven arguments that the Spirit has presented in the abstract to the God document.

    "What is an abstract? An abstract is 'a concise summary of a research paper or entire thesis'. It is an original work, not an excerpted passage. An abstract must be fully self-contained and make sense by itself, without further reference to outside sources or to the actual paper. "

    Its objective,- the thesis, is to instruct man in righteousness. (2 Ti.3:16). Medium of instruction is to mould a man after the image of the Son who is the only template in which he can be redeemed from the earth to his heavenly calling. God is a Spirit. "Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual."(1 Co.2:13).,/

    The phrase 'the evening and the morning were' is to set apart seven aspects of His holiness. For example separation of light from darkness sets off a sequence that we see in the city of God " the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, Having the glory of God." (Re.21:10) Thus with seven 'days' and each serves a definite purpose. '"And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it' refers to all saints redeemed from the earth descending out of heaven.(Ge.2:3)

    Hi Dan

    As an encouragement to you,

    In Rom 6 Holy Spirit describes the certainty of God expectation of not continuing in sin & reveals the working of Grace as the divine power to accomplish the command. Peter says, God gives His Grace to the humble, meekness of heart, lowliness of mind is the pathway to receiving the power of Grace that we desperately need & it is Merciful kindness of God who will work this within us if we acknowledge the Truth about ourselves concerning growing in godliness, Jesus says, "without me you can do nothing". A love for God must be cutivated, for faith worketh by love & Gal 3:2 so obedience to the hearing of the Word of God "Grace" in our hearts we receive ever increasing measures of His Spirit, this is the faith that purifies the heart & will eventually be held in a pure conscience in the working out of our perfect salvation.

    In Rom 7 Holy Spirit reveals the interworking of Paul struggles, now that He found himself without the righteousness of the law, now having to die to this self efforts, what a struggle he had. At the end of 7 Holy Spirit starts to open to us, the Righteousness that is by faith, the hearing of the Word of God in the heart. the Grace of God that appears to all mankind bringing salvation Rom 7:25 picking up the Cross & denying the motions of the carnal minded flesh. Rom 8:2 reveals His Grace is the Law, & goes on to declare Rom 8:14 Revealing 1John 3:6, abiding in His Grace/Spirit/Light/Cross. For the Spirit of God will never lead us into sin. As we continue in the exercise of Grace, putting Christ on, 2Cor 4:6 we're in the working of Titus 3:5 1Pet 1:2 unto the new creature, Col 3:10 where 2Cor 5:17. Rom 8:29 reveals this sonship, the divine nature implanted being Rom 8:15-17 & in Him there is no sin or 1John 1:5,6 we're sinless

    All a free gift from our Father, yet must be appropriated by Faith, God causing us to will do of His good pleasure, for His own Name sake. Ezekiel 36:21-23 Isa 55:3

    "And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness."

    Holiness is His name. Mary mother of Jesus qualified God thus,'Holy is his name'. From whence came this knowledge? The Spirit moving upon the waters (v.2) sensitized every vapor that God is knowable. "The spirit of man is the candle of the LORD, searching all the inward parts of the belly" accordingly gave Mary a measure of the invisible quality of God. How do we differentiate between good and evil? There is only one standard which is what we can infer from this short colloquy. "And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God."( Mark 10:18). When God settled for light as good who shall contradict him? He as the Father of lights saw the light, that it was good. Amen.

    Light and darkness are alike unto him. His Son consequently is the true Light which has a great consequence. He named the light as His own. He called the light Day which from henceforth shall signify his holiness as radiating from His godhead, from his force of will. It is set as the law. "And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not."( John 1:5). So children of light cannot remain hidden but shine forth boldly. "That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;"(Ph.2:15)

    And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

    God separated two nations, children of light and children of darkness on the basis man responds to His holiness."But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God."( John 3:21) Adam hid from the presence of God knowing that he disobeyed him.

    Ge.1:1-3

    "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth."

    The Spirit sets the time which for God is immaterial. The Holy Spirit refers to the eternal Will. He.11:3 annotates it for our understanding. He framed the world with the Word, which is His law. His holiness is the sum total of his Being. His law makes it expressed as signs and sounds." There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard."(Ps.19:3) Glory of His holiness has a body whether it is as small as a seed or a celestial object. Because of this heavens declare the glory of his Presence. (Ps.19:1)

    2And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

    The invisible aspects of holiness shall in appropriate time manifest so the Spirit speaks of his Son as the visible aspect of His holiness. It is thus the worlds framed by faith is set in terms of lights. God is the Father of lights and Jesus Christ as the true Light which lights everyone that comes into the world. From the above the expression 'in the beginning' is a device to explain the culmination of the brightness of his glory. "Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power" What do we know of holiness is through his Son and it is what this quote signifies.

    3And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

    The Word was with God in the beginning and the word becoming flesh is the culmination of his Will as an express image of his person.

    The waters made up of vapors which present a face as live of man presents a face before God. As "a man beholding his natural face in a glass" the Spirit works so heaven and the earth are set in context of each other. ( Jas 1:17,23)"The spirit of man is the candle of the LORD, searching all the inward parts of the belly."(Pr.20:27) Heart is the designated inward parts.

    According to the GOD's Word,what needs to happen first?Exactly what is written in Revelation 18:1-5,i.e.the Judgment of the Great Whore,as follows:

    1 And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory.

    2 And he cried (will cry) mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.

    3 For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.

    The Antichrist was born and rose up from the own Church.Yes, the birthplace or the cradle of Antichrist, was the own Church, unfortunately. 1John 2:19- They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us:but they went out,

    4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.

    5 For her sins have reached unto heaven,and GOD hath remembered her iniquities.

    Just after the fall of Babylon the marriage of the Lamb will be celebrated, yes, the marriage of the Lamb comes and the wife of the Lamb will make herself ready,the Bride will make herself ready for this wonderful event,Hallelujah! And to her was granted that she be arrayed in fine linen,clean and white:for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.

    AFTER THE JUDGMENT OF BABYLON- Revelation 19:1-10

    1-I heard a great voice of much people in heaven,saying,Alleluia; Salvation,and Glory,and Honour,and Power,unto the Lord our GOD:

    2 For true and righteous are His Judgments: for He hath Judged the Great Whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of His servants at her hand.

    " 2 Peter 3:16 (KJV) 16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.

    All of Christendom is part of Christ's CHURCH, it is no mere building. All saints are part of his church. The church is the wife of Christ but does not lower the husband's position to that of wife. God's divine order is revealed in 1 Corinthians 11:3 (KJV) 3 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.

    Having the husband being in the corpus of the church does NOT make him the WIFE of Christ as you stated in 3. & 4. above and then the order for wifely submission would then apply to him as you also stated. This is utter blasphemy!

    You have in your past wrested with scripture to make it say what you wanted in the past and it has affected your exegesis. You have mingled the Word & Self in a dangerous way for yourself.... "which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction."

    Repent before it is too late and you go down the road of apostacy!

    Dec. 31, 2022 the world press announced the death of Benedict XVI.Pope Francis is also on the brink of death.The last Pope will be elected,the husband No.266 of the Great Whore,the RCC,(excluding Peter Apostle).By the way,would be his religious nickname Paulus VII?I think so,because at the same time must manifest also another Beast,the Beast of earth-Rev.13:11-a false lamb with two horns-(a false messiah/prophet,master of Torah),as was prophesied by Paul,saying in 2Thes.2:v.3-5 & 9-12 & Jn 5:43-47, as follow:

    3 Let no MAN deceive you by any means(Pastors,and Bichops,Evangelists,among others,fallen angels of the Churches):for that Day(this Day arrived)shall not come except there come a falling away first,and that MAN of sin be revealed,the son of perdition;

    4 Who(will)opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God,or that is worshipped;so that he as God(he will)sitteth in the temple of God,shewing himself that he is God

    11... God shall send them strong delusion,that they(the Jews)should believe a lie:

    12 That they all might be damned who believed not the Truth(believed not in JESUS)but had pleasure in unrighteousness

    With the election of the last Pope in the current decade,and manifestation of a false and ruthless messiah in Israel as is above described,and according Jn 5:43-47combined with Rev.13:11-18 and Ez.21:25,among other biblical references-,then will start the last week,week 70th Dan.9:27,until the total destruction of the current world of the Devil-Rev.11:18

    GET READY. THE 5th UNIVERSAL AND SATANIC KINGDOM,THE ANTICHRIST's KINGDOM,IT WILL BE ESTABLISHED IN THE EARTH FROM NOW ON-Dan.2:41-45

    Is.26:20-21

    20 -Come,my people,enter thou into thy chambers,and shut thy doors about thee:hide thyself as it were for a little moment,until the indignation be overpast

    21-For, behold,the Lord cometh out of His place to PUNISH the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity:the earth also shall disclose her blood,and shall no more cover her slain

    This was in regard to your original blasphemous post!

    >The word of God cuts both ways, a two edged sword.

    >How many husbands love their wives as CHRIST loves the church ..... probably NONE.

    >The word says you are the WIFE of Christ, so these scripture of a wife submitting to her HUSBAND apply as much to you as to any earthly wife.

    In NO WAY shape or form is the Christian HUSBAND the WIFE of CHRIST in any regard or in any kind of sense or parallel.

    ">The word says you are the WIFE of Christ, so these scripture of a wife submitting to her HUSBAND apply as much to you as to any earthly wife." Is utter blasphemy! A first-year theological student could see that.

    You seem to have an unrepentant nature. That doesn't address what you wrote. Instead of admitting it and asking for forgiveness you press on. In NO WAY shape or form is the Christian HUSBAND the WIFE of CHRIST in any regard.

    >The word of God cuts both ways, a two edged sword.

    >How many husbands love their wives as CHRIST loves the church ..... probably NONE.

    >The word says you are the WIFE of Christ, so these scripture of a wife submitting to her HUSBAND apply as much to you as to any earthly wife.

    Paul urges all those claiming to be spiritually saved to "examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves"

    2 Corinthians 13:5 (KJV) 5 Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?
