My aunt married when she was 12 and had 25 kids.

God did say be fruitful and multiply so it's not sin for them at that time to be fruitful and to multiply.

No, we can not "loose" salvation. A person may choose to leave. That is not "loosing". Loss is a different meaning.

God didn't have to make man but he did and I think that he wanted someone not just animals to inhabit earth and I think think that is a beautiful thing that we are to be thankful for

This scripture is a warning that it is possible to eternally lose one's salvation having once known it. It puts a reverent fear in a believers heart to stay true. Thankfully God is the judge and will be the only one that knows the end result of a lost member. We know not to look back as Christians and we need a very close relationship with Jesus not banking on any self righteousness only as sinners saved by grace. By doing this a Christian will not find themselves luke warm.

The part about the Sabbath day. Without question the Veil of the Temple was torn and without question the ability to enter now into the Holy of Holies, placing one's self on the Mercy Seat by Faith in the work of Jesus Christ at Calvary is entering into His Sabbath. All seven days while time remains.

The day of circumcision of heart is the new life in the Risen Christ, we must finish the course of this race without looking back.

The importance of this verse is that the LORD preserved a godly seed in the midst of a corrupt generation.

"Mahalaleel" means "praise of God" , and "Jared" means "descent".

If you look in Luke chapter 3 verse 37, you will see both their names are in the lineage of Jesus Christ who is the promised "seed of the woman" of Genesis 3:15 who would bruise the head of the serpent, Satan.

Jesus, the Son of God, became our Savior from sin by sacrificially dying our death on the cross and rising from the dead, granting all who trust in him forgiveness and everlasting life.

They have been deceived with a counterfeit gospel .

Jesus said many will come in his name .

You must read the bible for yourself with the help of the Holy Spirit or you will be deceived by men. Read Matthew 24 Why I say this ? Because the spirit of truth will lead you into All truth . Men can not do this .

Also there is a spirit of Antichrist, and it opposes the truth . Not all spirits although real are good or from God . You must be able to identify them . It's all in the bible .

- I would like prayers to find a job in libraries in Brittany, to find a house, to restore my marriage. May my family be saved !! Be blessed !

I have been under violent persecution for not participating in or condoning offensive sexual immorality and blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. I love Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit and do not want to lose my salvation by denouncing them. Please pray for my protection. Thank you.

Am glad you quoted that Bob, because on my second paragraph it shows that Rome teach doctrines of men and neglect the word of God. Like replacing Sabbath with Sunday, they claim it's a mark of their authority.

Baptism of Children, Christ sent His disciples to preach and that them that believe to be baptised, Matthew 28:19, so how can you preach to a toddler?

They teach that you are saved by works yet the Bible teaches that you are saved by grace, an example of this is the Scala Sancta, read about it.

The Pope calls himself Pontifex Maximus, the bridge builder. This title was used Emperors of ancient pagan Rome where they were worshipped as gods.

Also read about Sola Scriptura

Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devises.

2 Corinthians 2:11

Darlene, concerning those taken first.

Again, well presented.

The words of Matthew 13:36-43, Matthew 24:40-41, and Luke 17:34-35 reveal that the people TAKEN FIRST are taken by Satan.

Many understand this in the complete opposite way.

Ira F Stamphill "A Tender Heart"

Give me a heart that's tender true; A heart that's kind a heart that's new; And let it be like Thine, O Lord, In every deed and every word. Take out the stony heart, take out the bitterness; Give me a gracious heart that's full of tenderness; A heart that understands, that will not fret nor pine, Give me a tender heart, a heart like Thine.

Give me a heart from sin set free, Unworthy though my life may be; And may Thy Spirit its temple fill And teach me to obey Thy will. May I forget the wrong someone has done to me And show the tenderness of Christ on Calvary; Let tears of sorrow come and all my ways refine, Give me a tender heart, a heart like Thine.

Give me a heart that no knows guile, A heart forgiving all the while; A heart that reaches to do a deed And stoops to help a friend in need. I want to feel the pain my neighbors often know And lend a helping hand if be friend or foe; I want to share the loss in every weal or woe And have a tender heart wherever I go.

:)

Darlene,

Concerning Jesus and God being two separate entities.

Very well explained.

God and Jesus are NOT the same entity.

John 10:30

"I and My Father are One"

The word "One" is the Greek word "hen" and is given in the neutral form of speech. This means that they are one in "essence" not one person, which would be in the masculine form of speech, and would use the Greek word "heis."

If the words of John 10:30 are to be taken literally, what do people that believe this do with John 10:29 (as well as ALL other verses, including the ones you mention)?

"My Father,which gave them Me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of My Father's hand."

I suppose this means "I, which gave them Me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of My hand."

And John 10:30 would have to read; "I and Myself are One."

Seems like a lot of explaining has to be done here for these statements to make sense if God is Jesus and Jesus is God.

And please don't try and say that Jesus is God in flesh. Again, the understanding of figures of speech must be taken account for.

I would not want to be in the unenviable position of trying to uphold a position as truth while I am denying proper grammar and plain Scripture that is using OBVIOUS figures of speech.

Not a page of the word of God can be turned without the use of Figures of Speech."

Figures of speech are a LEGAL part of English grammar that follow rules, not something that is arbitrarily used by the reader whenever he or she feels the urge.

Taking literal what God states as figurative and taking figurative what God is states is literal is a fundamental reason why people misunderstand the word of God.

Pray that God destroys all witchcraft attacks against me in Jesus name. Pray that God put an end to all witches trying to hinder and block my blessings. I rebuke all curses, demonic strongholds, witchcraft against my abundance of financial blessing and me leaving.

This chapter will answer the question concerning the narrow mind of those that consider the condition of a true believing christian unfavorable. When we take the word of God, we need to take it all, not just some of it. The church has failed in this. The KJV, some say difficult to read have taken it upon their omniscient self too reinterpret it for us! While there are interpretations that may be reliable, what this has done is open floodgates for misinterpretations. Paul has taken on the sinful condition that is present in each and every one of us! He is not writing to a small synagogue in Galilee, but to Rome! It will not be long after this that Rome will fall, that the darkness that Christ spoke of will be upon humanity itself! You can deny the truth, but the truth will find you out. Remember the clanging cymbal, it is nothing when it comes to the condition of mans sinful heart. What is most interesting is that scripture refers to love as charity. Charity is what each and everyone of us is in need of!

We must be thoughtful of what Et say in this topic. Such actions of wayward can lead to unbelief and even blasphemy of the Holy Spirit.

Also the Lukewarm..

Do we bow down to a person a title someone has or an object?

That might be possible if the pertain were a child when they first made the choice for salvation and started the walk very young then was ignorantly and overwhelmingly exposed to wickedness.

Because they were a child when they first made the choice of salvation it is possible for them to be restored miraculously. That reminds me of the lost sheep, or wayward son.

Again not to crucify our Lord afresh.

However, if even they depart in unbelief it is the same for them as any other who departs in unbelief. That means they made a grave choice.

Praying for complete healing.

Asking for prayers for my co worker Missy Phillips. She's been diagnosed with breast cancer and the removal of her breast. Praying for complete healing, a speedy recovery and peace of mind for her and her family and friends.

I was not speaking of the backslider. They can definitely turn back.

I am talking about those who depart from God with an evil heart of unbelief.... even after salvation.

They have in a way blasphemed the Holy Spirit and there is No Forgiveness for that in this life and the next.

The back slider is able to be restored as long as they do not crucify Jesus afresh.

Praise the Lord Jesus Christ and God our Father.

Please continue to pray with me for my sons James and John: Lord, you've given me the beautiful gift of my sons. I ask you to pour out your Spirit over them and free them from the snares of addiction and mental anguish. Please bless them with long, healthy, happy lives, in the name of your son Jesus Christ, in union with your Holy Spirit Amen.

I would like prayers for healing in my life and my 2 daughters to stop using drugs they got with the wrong crowds, I've been trying to help them for a few years . I can't do this alone thanks .I just want a happy life and I want healing for myself I love to help others that's just who I am.

Please keep me in your prayers

Thank YouDearGod for every thing!!!
