People have made charts of Jesus's genealogy through Mary

And Joseph too even though he was a step father. No blood connection. He was however a descendant of King David.

A baby always has its fathers blood type.

The only connection to the mother is for sustenance.

That's how Jesus's blood was SINLESS. That's why His blood is so Powerful.

Check those charts out on Google.

Amen. My question now is did Pharaoh know of the one true God or was he accustomed to pagan idols all his life and didn't know any better?

You need to read more slow, Exodus 1 through to chapter 11 & 12.

The children of Israel were slaves to Egypt for 400 years: subject to starvation often and body breaking work to build Pharaohs cities, monuments, etc.

Pharaoh had all male newborns killed to control Jewish numbers. Was that fair?

They finally seriously started crying out to God to deliver them! Don't feel sorry for Pharaoh. The story inExodus is different from Hollywood's Version.

God knew Pharaoh was not going to let them go, so He alerted Moses to prepare for Passover, and spread lambs blood over the door mantles and celebrate the first Passover meal.

The last plague was When God sent the Destroyer through Egypt and all firstborn of Egyptians fell dead; even Pharaohs son.

There was no more haggling about herds and cows for sacrifices; Pharaoh told Moses to take everything and get out!

The children of Israel leave, but then Pharaoh chases them to the Red Sea to slaughter them.

I think Pharaoh had every chance to change his mind.

God is at work within human wills to see the sheer miracle of earths creation to understand that none of this crawled out of the water onto land and walked until it evolved into humans. Romans 1 says clearly that we are able to understand that Someone made all of this! It says we are without excuse if we don't see it. Then we become: WITHOUT EXCUSE. Like Pharaoh we are left alone with our decision to oppose ourselves, and God.

Some people just aren't going to be saved.

Only people who can see God in his Creation, and accept the Creator of that creation; will respond to His Word, The Holy Bible, and the people who carry the Good News that Jesus Christ was born, lived a sinless life; was crucified for the sins of all mankind; was in the tomb 3 days and was Resurrected on that 3rd day, Victorious over

Death, Hell and the Grave!!

We can trust Jesus in all things pertaining to Life.

The entire bible is the word of God. One of Jesus many names is The word of God. Therefore all of the word is equally important and worthy of studying.

i am having trouble with my faith... a year ago i had a fall which fractured my lower 1 lumbar, abd caused trauma to my spinal cord... i have use of my legs, and through rehab, i'm starting to get back on my feet, taking steps... recently though, as my nerves started to renew themselves, i'm getting more pain than i can handle, even with pain medication.. it's the pain, that makws me break down, and keeps me wondering.... why??? why did this happen to me?.. i know i haven't been the best at being religious, and have slacked in my talk with GOD... i need to find my faith again,,, i'm not looking for a quick fix, because i know GOD is letting me ride this stprm out... and i pray he'll be with me all the way...but in the back of my head, doubt is laying in wait for my next distress.... i need GOD'S strength and JESUS in my life

I love The first of God's chosen Kings; a righteous king who bowed himself under the weight of his sinful shame and disgrace to submit to His God's Majesty. He is my father indeed. Thanks for the example, king David the greatest. Your descendants shall be innumerable in this glorious end time.

Ness, it's true that the apostle Paul was called to preach the Gospel & teach the Gentiles ( Rom 11:13, 1 Tim 1:7, 2 Tim 1:11).

To "rightly divide the Word" essentially means that when we consider a verse, or a portion of Scripture, we should examine it further to make sure that our initial understanding of it aligns with what the other relevant Scriptures in the Bible also tell us about it. There are of course other aspects to the meaning of this phrase, but basically God requires us to handle His Word correctly, & that can only come by the Holy Spirit's guidance & knowledge of the Word. That is why a believer needs to read the whole Word of God & not just 'favourite' Books of the Bible.

True, a lot of the Old Testament was written about matters affecting the Jewish heritage & their position before God, but they are not to be avoided by Christians for "ALL scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: that the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works." ( 2 Tim 3:16,17). We get immense benefit in knowing & understanding the whole Old Testament for that is how we learn of Israel's history & more importantly, about the God Whom we serve. And after all, when we love someone, don't we want to know as much about that person as we can? So it should be our constant desire to know God our Father, Jesus His Son & His Spirit as much as we are able from the Scriptures & what He reveals to us in our daily experiences that causes us to love Him more & grow in our faith.

When you enter this website, use the search box on top and type in TONGUES. The engine will pull up ALL scriptures pertaining to tongues. I would click on the New Testament only, for this word.

The Holy Spirit is your Teacher. He helps us understand Biblical truths.

The gift of speaking in tongues that continues throughout church history and is so widespread today is the Holy Spirit-prompted ability to pray and praise God in a heavenly dialect, possibly even an angelic language that is not related to anything spoken on earth such as German or Swahili or Mandarin or English. The Holy Spirit personally crafts or creates a special and unique language that enables a Christian to speak to God in prayer, praise, and thanksgiving. This gift is not a human language that one might encounter in some foreign country, but a Spirit-empowered capacity to speak meaningful words that are only understood by the Godhead: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (unless, of course, God provides the interpretation through the one speaking or through another believer.

The more you learn about the Holy Spirit's ministry to you, the more you will desire all that He has purposed for you. 1 Corinthians 12, teaches about all the gifts

(for believers). He knows where you are in your walk with God, and He will wait until you understand and desire His gifts. You should talk to Him and ask Him any questions about what you are learning through scripture. He responds to us through OUR inner spirit, where He indwells. His is the still small voice.

If you ever hear something that frightens you; that's the devil trying to prevent you from following Jesus. Just say: I rebuke you, satan, in the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth! Get thee hence.

If you'll scroll under the Search Box you'll see the Commentary Box; of Bible Teachers commentaries on that verse. Use the back arrow to get back to the Search box area.

Hope this helps.

Okay i will.

Pls,who is this man Paul was talking about here and what is the meaning of third heaven?

Dear Brother or Sister in Christ,

I am still not satisfied with the answers given for Jesus' lineage. It is critical that Jesus be a descendant of David to fulfill the prophesy that David's son will be the ruler of the kingdom. If we use the lineage given in Matthew it connects David by blood down to Joseph which has nothing to do with Jesus' bloodline. At best Joseph is Jesus' step father, a non-blood. There is no mention that Joseph legally adopted Jesus as his son. Jesus has no blood relation or legal relation (recorded) to Joseph. And, after the story of Jesus disappearing for 3-4 days at the age of 12, after the festival of Passover in Jerusalem, Joseph is never mentioned again. He is a truly insignificant figure in Jesus' life. Whereas, his mother Mary is mentioned a number of times even at his crucifixion in John 19:26. Unfortunately, the lineage in Luke is "assumed" to be that of Mary's but not stated. For Jesus to be a blood relative of David it is important to know not assume this to be the case. In the past years, this has not been important but has become so since this is a key prophecy and fulfillment of God's covenant. The best I can come to is Jesus was a man/God and was a Spiritual son/Lord of David and of God, the Almighty.

Respectfully,

Just curious why you believe the antichrists are Israel?

Revelation 3:9 "Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee."

1 John 2:22 - Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. (ALL Jews deny Jesus and that makes them antichrist, if they believed in Jesus then they would be CHRISTIANS. IF you do not believe me call any Synagogue and ask the Rabbi or them if Jesus is the Messiah.)

1 John 2:23 - Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.

If Jews do not accept Jesus as messiah, then who is their messiah?

1 Corinthians 16:22 - If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema (CURSED) Maranatha.

DO JEWS LOVE JESUS OR ARE THEY CURSED?

Please explain how these get saved without Jesus? I am curious

John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

John l Part 2

1 Kings 21:1 ....had a vineyard, which was in Jezreel, hard by the PALACE of Ahab KING of SAMARIA.

Jeremiah 31:31 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:

this verse says a new covenant with both Israel AND Judah. So how can they be the same?

Hosea 1:10 Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered; and it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people, there it shall be said unto them, Ye are the sons of the living God.

Romans 9:26 And it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my my people; there shall they be called the children of the living God.

Galatians 3:29. - And if ye be Christ's, then ARE ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

John L - I believe that is true that all who are in Christ ARE the seed of Abraham as Paul states in Galations 3:29

Galatians 3:29 "And if ye be Christ's, then ARE are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise."

I do not see anything about "becoming" or "spiritual seed"

and if Christians are divorced Israel of Jeremiah 3:8 that means they shall be the object of the wrath of Satan in the Tribulation.

Jeremiah 3:8 "And I saw, when for all the causes whereby backsliding Israel committed adultery I had put her away, and given her a bill of DIVORCE divorce; yet her treacherous sister Judah feared not, but went and played the harlot also."

God divorced Israel with the promise of remarriage

Jeremiah 31:31 "Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:"

Jesus in Matthew 15:24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

God promised Abraham he would be the Father of MANY NATIONS.

Gen 17:5 - Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of MANY many nations have I made thee.

If the "Jews" are all of Abraham, where are all these MANY "jewish nations"...?

There is only one and it was created by the antichrist United Nations and one is not many.

Either God lied (impossible) or the Jews are not all of Israel.

Where are the MANY JEWISH NATIONS of Abraham?

Judah and Israel were not the same people. God divorced Israel and not Judah. One tribe is not many

The Lord DIVORCED ISRAEL

Israel and judah had wars and different kings as well as different capitols. Jerusalem capitol of Judah.

Samaria capitol of Israel.

2 Kings 8:16 ...Joram the son of Ahab KING of ISRAEL, Jehoshaphat being then KING of JUDAH, ...

This is a testimony by Mathew regarding the basic events that occur when our Savior was born. Without adding anything from anywhere else we can conclude that the birth of Jesus was prophesied way before He was born. This chapter does not state that the wise men were saints. In Russian translation they are called volkhv (which are somebody like sorcerer or magician). Somehow it was open to them that there will be a birth of the King of Jews. God can use anybody in order to achieve His plans, and here he used wise men. Whether wise men knew about the real significance of this event, we do not know, however perhaps they knew something very important about was happening by reading stars.

Tim, I believe you're correct in your understanding. The fact that believers will partake at the Marriage Supper of the Lamb ( Rev 19:8-9) & also stand at the Judgement Seat of Christ is proof enough that their sins were fully dealt with while on Earth & they have been 'accepted in the beloved', being found spotless & holy to stand before His Presence.

Yet, it is incumbent on every believer to confess & turn away from every known sin while on Earth, not with lip service, but from a heart constrained by the Spirit & from one who longs to please his Lord in every area of his life. There are many 'Christians' going into confessionals as a routine or believing that God overlooks their continual sin by virtue of Christ's death, who sadly are impostors & are ignorant of the Truth & do despite to Christ's sacrifice.

The question is: what are the 'works' that are judged when we stand before Him in eternity? What have we built upon that foundation of Christ? Will it only be the works of visible ministry & the preaching of the Gospel amongst the unreached, or will it also include the unseen labours that have blessed humanity with Christ's Love or even shaken Heaven's Gates with their fervent prayers? But for those whose works will be burned, whose lives have produced nothing of worth, they will still be saved "yet so as by fire".

Yes it is.

Sabbath on Saturday?

Praying for healing for my fiancee ,admitted in the hospital praying that he can come off the ventilator,and that there wouldn't have to be anymore surgery ,and that he make a speedy recovery to come home soon.Amen

Write it down. This is spiritual warfare and sometimes you gotta fight it out till your faith gets involved.

Psalm 25 is another acrostic Psalm. It expresses the alternation of fervent petition & sober meditation which often characterizes the soul's waiting upon the Lord. There are three main moods in the prayer, but they are closely bound together. Verses 1-7, A Plea for Guidance. Verses 8-15, The Goodness of the Lord. Verses 16-22, A Prayer For Deliverance.

Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.

Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you NOT that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you THE TRUE BREAD from heaven.

For the bread of God is HE which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world.

Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread.

And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.

For now, this is why we celebrate Communion together, in remembrance of Jesus: at the Lords Supper.

A lot of people do not think it's proper to observe The Lords Supper at home. Alone or with family and friends. I don't agree.

The disciples rented the room, for the night of the Lords Supper. It wasn't a church.

If the Government closes our churches: we can still meet together other ways. If we've been in church all of lives, we know the seriousness of this celebration.

First we must forgive EVERYONE who has wronged us. If we partake without doing that, we bring condemnation on ourselves.

If we don't forgive others, that's why it feels like God is not listening to our prayers. It's a serious thing: unforgiveness. It's hard to remember all the faces who angered us.

You can ask the Holy Spirit to call those faces to your remembrance.

The act of forgiving those who don't even deserve it... is one of the most freeing spiritual moments a Christian can experience with God, our Father; Jesus our Savior.

The people we hold captive in our hearts and minds are the door that Satan uses to approach the Throne of God to accuse us.

Just say " I forgive you" over and over, until it takes root in your heart. God wants us to be free to worship in purity; heart, soul and mind. Pray about this.

I have tried to type this several times tonight but not one time do I think I have really hit where it needs to be? Seems to me like just overnight things went crazy!

We all need to come together and pray for everyone and I mean everyone! Have you ever seen anything like this in your lives? Please lets pray together. Dear Heavenly Father I would like to pray for all the people that are affected by all this hate that is going around right now.
