This was a great deliverance for the children of Israel by the Almighty Lord. God will always and forevermore deliver those who trust in Him. He said He will never leave us or forsake us. The same goes to all believers in Christ today, to always and forevermore trust Jesus Christ for all our needs and to be very prayerful for things that are for the glory of the lord. To be very earnest in our prayers. The fervent prayers of the righteous availeth much. James 5.16. To God be the glory in Christ Jesus name amen

1 John 5:6

This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ, not by water only, but by water and blood.

And it is the Spirit that beareth witness because the Spirit is truth.

1 John 5:7

For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost and these three are one.

1 John 5:8

And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood, and these three agree in one.

We are all God's possessions, and I, for one, am glad to be such. He is not morally deficient and could never be so, unlike slave owners. God takes care of his possessions just like I take care of my tractor, only better than I ever could.

Even the pure in heart can do better, at times. If you go back to Job 32 and read to the end of Job 37, Elihu explains why Job needs to repent. He says that Job justified himself rather than God.

Now, Elihu was not one of Job's three friends who had come to visit him, but he was there and had listened patiently to the discussion between them and Job. Notice that when God rebukes Job and his three friends, he DOESN'T rebuke Elihu. Elihu is the ONLY ONE who escapes God's rebuke. So read those six chapters where he speaks for enlightenment about why Job should have repented.

Acts 3:19

The Word of God is God ( John 1:1) and is not of any private interpretation ( 2 Peter 1:20).

The word 'Repent' means a lot more than what people by nature have been conditioned to believe. It is the key principle of all the teachings of Jesus Christ and the axiom (basis) of the Word of God and a prerequisite and primary requirement for the salvation of mankind. It actually means the changing of spirits - to turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan unto God ( Acts 26:18).



For a better understanding and the 'spiritual truth' of what it means to repent, and learn how and by whom mankind has been deceived ( Rev. 12:9) and what people must do to be reunited with the true and living God, we invite you to seek Him according to the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive ( Matthew 7:7; John 14:17).

You need not that any man teach you ( Isaiah 54:13; 6:45; 1 John 2:27), as mankind follows after an image of a false god and a false Christ ( Matthew 24:24; Mark 13:22; Gal. 4:8; 2 Cor. 11:13-15; Rev. 12:9).

It is only by revelation of God that you will come to know the true Christ ( Daniel 12:4,9; Amos 3:7; Matthew 16:17; Luke 2:26; Romans 16:25; 1 Cor. 2:10; Gal. 1:16; Eph. 3:3,5; Rev. 1:1), and only then will you be able to overcome the spirit of this world ( 1 John 5:4; Rev. 3:21) and learn what it means to Repent. It is a narrow way that leadeth unto 'Life', and few there be that find it ( Matthew 7:14).

LUKE 15:10. LIKEWISE, I SAY UNTO YOU, THERE IS JOY IN THE PRESENCE OF THE ANGELS OF GOD OVER ONE SINNER THAT REPENTETH

No. He wasn't. In fact, he said in 2 Samuel 11:8, "and I gave thee thy master's house, and thy master's wives into thy bosom, and gave thee the house of Israel and Judah; and if that had been too little, I would moreover have given thee such and such things."

In the very next verse, he makes it very clear that he was angry because David had "despised the commandment of the LORD, to do evil in his sight" by having Uriah killed and taking his wife. This was the word of the LORD spoken by Nathan the prophet. But he probably wasn't too happy about David's committing adultery with her before that, either.

Neither the LORD (God, the Father) nor Jesus EVER condemned any man at any time for having more than one wife, although I'm sure there were plenty around that did, even in the time of Jesus. There are still polygamous marriages in some countries even today.

What Jesus said was that if a man put one wife away (divorced her) to marry another, except if she had committed fornication, he was guilty of adultery and causing her and any future husband she might have to commit adultery. You have to read all accounts of his discourse on divorce to see that he's talking about putting her away in order to marry another. These are found in Matthew 5:31&32, Matthew 19:9, Mark 10:11&12, and Luke 16:18. So we see that, if a man had five wives, he was okay, but he could not put one away so that he could marry another. Perhaps this meant so he could afford to marry another. I don't know. But he could put her away for fornication. Why didn't he say adultery? Because adultery carried an automatic death sentence in those days. No divorce was necessary.

Too, Mark 10:12 shows that a woman could also put away her husband, but was under the same rules as the man pertaining to divorce.

It means that each day, we have enough to handle without taking on the problems of tomorrow or some other day. Therefore, we should live in the day we are in, because we cannot live in tomorrow until it gets here.

Your nephew is right that there's nothing in the Bible about marrying outside your race. However, the OT does count. He's wrong about that. How many times does Jesus say, "It is written . . ." or "It has been said . . ."? Ok. Just where was it written? In the Old Testament, of course! If Jesus thinks it counts, trust me, it counts.

Now, on the racial question, Miriam objected to the race of Moses' wife, and God made her (Miriam) white as snow -- with leprosy! The children of Israel were instructed not to take wives from or give wives to the heathen people around them, but there was no racial specification given whereby they were to determine who was heathen and who was not. Nor was there a "heathen patent" issued to any particular race. You were free to be a heathen, regardless of your race, as long as you weren't one of the children of Israel.

The children of Israel were also commanded by Moses not to make intertribal marriages within the tribes of Israel, so that their inheritances would not move from tribe to tribe. There was nothing racist about that.

I'm almost done with my eighth study of the Bible, and, to my knowledge, there's nothing about staying within your RACE in it.

Calm down. Jesus was speaking to his disciple who had been a fisherman by occupation.

Jesus invited him to be shown how to "fish" for peoples souls.

The word Apostle means, one who has seen the person of Jesus Christ; the Son of Man.

The office of an Apostle, works as touching the 5-fold Ministry of: Apostle, prophet, teacher, pastor, evangelist. Also, someone once said to me that 'pastor' is positioned on the ring finger because it involves full time shepherding of Jesus's sheep and baby lambs.

If you open your hand: the thumb is the apostle. Using the thumb it can reach out and touch each of the other 4 fingers.

The Apostle can minister in any of the other offices.

My take: Jesus would like us to be versatile by nature. He had to do it this way because someone is always going to bark, "That's Not My Job!."

We are all called to follow Jesus and DO the work of an evangelist.

Personally: I don't have cable and I watch very little television. My computer is 1 year old and hasn't been used yet. I have an unproven theory that if we watch too much tv, our rears rebel and move around to the front. :D

I'm just saying we have time to read the Bible. It goes much faster if you'll buy a Strongs concordance; a commentary; maybe a dictionary. How's your Bible appetite?

I love Jesus! First time I saw that he evaded Satan all over the place and Satan could only focus on murdering the Son of God! Satan forgot all about Genesis 3:14-15 prophesy. When that spear cut into Jesus's side, He had already died. Satan didn't get to cheer :( Then when Jesus came walking out of the tomb: He bruised Satans head (I hope he knocked him out) and Jesus took the Keys and went to hell, preached salvation, opened the cells and led everybody in there out, in the streets and into Paradise. He then met up with both Marys because they were over at the Empty Tomb.

This is the Mighty Son of God that we worship! He is worthy to be praised & adored.

Abraham as far as i am concerned, is an epitome of contentment, humility,peace and a man of exemplary lifestyle characterized by a great measure of unselfishness. He would do and give anything up even his life, for the peace of those he loves and are under his care.

Prayer for God to forgive, have mercy and grace, deliver, save, restore, bless, comfort, favor, heal, unify and lead, guide & protect all of my children, grandson and I, and cover us in the Blood of Jesus and our minds, health, finances, homes, cars, jobs. Prayer for God to bless us with the job we desire that has good pay & benefits & to pay all bills & debts in full and prayer for God too convict neighbors to mind they business and stop discriminating & listening to my children and I as we are in the bathroom or other rooms where we reside & for God's perfect fulfilled life that He has predestined for our lives to be fulfilled in Jesus Christ Name.

The words "trinity" and "triune" are NOT in the Bible.

You can type them in the Search Box and neither word will come up.

You can type in GODHEAD and it will fetch all Godhead scriptures.

I've written on this often. Drop down to near bottom; to the history pages 1-100 and explore past days of comments made.

Thank you so much. I will take your advice and try to search. Anything else you would like to share would be appreciated. God is Good!!!

We can't really know who said it first because of the time issue between the 2 Chapters:

Matthew 16:16. Peter

John 1:49. Nathaniel

I think you made a good catch. The only problem is that Nathanel was not one of the 12 Disciples.

Comments anyone else?

God doesn't say anything about interracial marriage. Many have occurred in the Bible ie Moses and Abraham.

He does caution a Christian marrying an unbeliever. The unbeliever might forbid the Christian from going to church or reading the Bible.

You can google 'interracial Marriage Bible' and see what you see. I did.

Interculturaly it's difficult. Arguments ensue over religion, culture, baptism of children; things like that.

That's why a couple should DATE for at least a YEAR. Most people can't maintain being on their best behavior for that long.

I am so thankful that Jesus Himself said that there would be a rapture of His Church as in John Chapter 14:1-3 V3b I will come back and take you to myself, so that you will be where I am. Where Jesus will get His pride from and take it to where? It is from here on earth to heaven. God placed Noah and his family in the boat leaving the bads behind. The angels took Lot and his family out of Sodom and left the bad people behind. Israel was safe and Secure in Goshen while all Egyptians faced the all plagues. So here we come to Matthew.24:40-42, Two men working in the field, one will be taken away, the other will be left behind. Two women will be at a mill grinding meal, one will be taken away another will be left behind. Those people were working on the earth, At the time of blessed hope mentioned by apostle Paul, or rapture, all the believers will be caught up forcibly as fast as the twinkling of the eye to meet their Lord and Savior in the air . Then Jesus Christ took His Pride, the Church to be with Him until the time He will come with them to establish Thousand Years Kingdom.

My nephew is trying to say that it is no where in the Bible about dating outside your race. Our family is not racist nor are we against the African Americans. We are trying to get him to understand that it is in the Bible and he argues that the Old Testament doesn't count. Can you please help me with this?

Hold on to me my Father as l fight for others that the enemy has taken in his grips. Help the ones l take care of. I am strong in the Light of your Love. Protect me as l take one day at a time knowing God is leading me as He did His Son. God is your answer in these days. Go to Him on your knees. Know He will answer your needs no matter what it looks like now. Keep praying. Keep going to His words in His writings. His word is truth. Nothing but truth. He will never forsake you. Never!!!

God is absolutely never morally deficient. Job was already walking in communion with God prior to his trials because God told Satan "behold my servant Job" in the first chapter. God allowed the afflictions not to punish Job for sin but to strengthen his faith for His glory. And although the old testament predates Christ's death on the cross, the Bible says the lamb of God (Jesus) was slain from the foundation of the world. Meaning that man's ultimate salvation through the blood of Christ was always God's plan, even before He created man. If God always intended to take on flesh and be made a sacrifice for His children's souls then He certainly never viewed us as objects but rather as something so cherished He was willing to die to preserve us. Praise the Lord for his infinite love and mercy for sinners like us!

Give Thanks To God And Jesus Christ!

Please that my husband will have a bold faith in Christ and to except and/or open heart for the Holy Spirit In Christ Jesus, Amen

Wanda,

I would love to help.

Before I reference the laws within the Old Testament may I sincerely inquire why you ask this question?

Thanks

Heaven(s) and the Earth KJV

Revelation(s) KJV

The Universe has lost a couple of S's

I was always under the impression that Peter was the first to believe Jesus was the Messiah/Son of God. ( Matthew 16:16). Who is Nathanael and was he the first person to acknowledge Jesus as the Son of God/King of Israel? Thank you.

Where in the KJV does it state about staying with our race?

Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation. Salvation he had known, and had known it as the Lord's own; he had also felt the joy which arises from being saved in the Lord, but he had lost it for a while, and therefore he longed for its restoration. None but God can give back this joy; he can do it; we may ask it; he will do it for his own glory and our benefit. This joy comes not first, but follows pardon and purity: in such order it is safe, in any other it is vain presumption or idiotic delirium. And uphold me with thy free Spirit. Conscious of weakness, mindful of having so lately fallen, he seeks to be kept on his feet by power superior to his own. That royal Spirit, whose holiness is true dignity, is able to make us walk as kings and priests, in all the uprightness of holiness; and he will do so if we seek his gracious upholding. Such influences will not enslave but emancipate us; for holiness is liberty, and the Holy Spirit is a free Spirit. In the roughest and most treacherous ways we are safe with such a Keeper; in the best paths we stumble if left to ourselves. The praying for joy and upholding go well together; it is all over with joy if the foot is not kept; and, on the other hand, joy is a very upholding thing, and greatly aids holiness; meanwhile, the free, noble, royal Spirit is at the bottom of both.

I like this proverb, it seems to apply to all parts of life: Proverbs 11:1

A false balance is an abomination to the LORD: but a just weight is his delight.
