We know this side of the Cross that this is impossible for man, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
We, in Christ have His impuded (credited) Righteousness as a Gift of His Grace.
Have you accepted His Gift?
Blessings and Happy Father's Day all,

Commandments. They will be an example for the rulers and leaders of the world.
Paul's understanding of sin and its transmission through Adam in Romans 5:12 is absolutely correct!
The beginning of sin and its transmission is in no way affected by the creation of all the races in Genesis 1:26-28, as well as the beginning of the race through Adam in Genesis 2:7; eventually becoming known as "Hebrews" (look at Genesis 40:15, Exodus 3:18, etc.)
Original sin was not transmitted through a particular bloodline, but rather through the Spirit and the Will of God.
Had Adam fulfilled his responsibility, then there would have been no need for the promise of Genesis 3:15, and we would all be living in the 3rd dispensation of time now, right here; heaven on earth. But, that did not happen, and 6000 years later we are still waiting for His second Coming.
If you want to believe that all races of humans came from Adam that is your choice. That does not affect the saving grace of Jesus Christ. I have given you Biblical reference (man, flesh, Sons of God, giants, the flood, dispensations of time) for the position I make, as well as definitions of Hebrew words for assistance and reference.
Your Biblical explanation (or lack of one) concerning HOW the other races came to be upon the earth reinforces your shaky position on such an important topic(s).
I will restate that GOD specifically refers to "nations" and "gentiles" and "heathen" and "people" as FOREIGN to the specific tribe and nation and people known as Israel. God making this distinction throughout ALL Scripture should be a big clue.
Gold does not lie in the streets and on the pathways; we have to dig a little to find it. So also is the understanding of the Word of God! ( 2Timothy 2:15)
The Bible was not written in English, it was originally written in Hebrew, Chaldean, and Greek (N.T.). A Bible Concordance is a must for every Bible student (that doesn't know Biblical Hebrew, Chaldean, and Greek).
The church did not start in Acts, it was already there under Moses.
1 Corinthians Chapter 10: 1 Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all OUR FATHERS our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;
2 And were all baptized unto MOSES Moses in the cloud and in the sea; (Red Sea)
3 And did all eat the same spiritual meat; (Manna)
4 And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.
5 But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness.
So was Paul the apostle to the "Gentiles" and it seems he was not speaking to Jews? After all Paul is in Greece.
2 easy questions for you
1. Does God love everyone? (exclude Satan) Humans only
2. Would the Lord deceive people?
Scriptural proof only please. the answers might surprise you.
Peace.
Thank you for reading and your input. Much appreciated! The limited available space to write in is at least helping me to be more concise. Thanks!
God made 2 great lights.
God set the 2 lights in the firmament (the opened hearing ear) of Heaven. Hear, O Israel.
The greater light is the first and greatest commandment to rule the children of the Day who are to love God with all of their heart, soul, mind and strength.
The second, lesser light is like the first. to love our neighbor as ourselves. When we have love for one another, all people in this dark world shall know we are His disciples ( John 13:35). We shall shine as the stars in the darkness of this world. We are to love even our enemies who hate us. In doing so, there is rule over those who are of the night in the darkness of their minds as we let God avenge us ( Romans 12:19) .
Mark 12:29-31 KJV
(29) And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:
(30) And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.
(31) And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.
He made the stars also.as we shall shine as lights/luminaries in the darkness of this world in the doing of His 2 greatest commandments. And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth.
Philippians 2:14-16 KJV
(14) Do all things without murmurings and disputings:
(15) 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;
Holding forth the Word/Saying of Life: that God is Light.
(16) Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.
to be continued...
So we say that God is a Triune God, because God reveals Himself to us in His three Personages (NOT three gods): God the Father, God the Word (His Son, Jesus Christ) & God the Holy Spirit. ( 1 Jn 5:7: "For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one"). This is a difficult concept to understand, but it's like saying that you are composed of three parts: your body, soul & spirit; if one part is taken away, then you are incomplete & not the true complete YOU. The Sun has three parts: its substance/matter, heat & light; it wouldn't be the sun we know, if a part of it was removed. In like manner, God is perfectly God only in His three-fold personage & nothing else.
Just as Jesus came to the Earth to die for our sins & in our stead, so that all who repent & believe in Him will not go to Hell, so God's Spirit is also here now in every believer to give him/her a new spiritual birth, to empower them to live this new life, & to share this wonderful news to others so that they too can be saved & become a part of God's family.
So, Yes, Mary was especially chosen by God to bear Jesus, Whom the Prophet Isaiah spoke of in Isa 7:14: "Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel". Jesus came in fulfilment of that prophecy & also read Isaiah chapter 53 and the Messianic Psalm 22, both showing His agony at the Cross.
I hope you can see that Jesus wasn't just a Prophet or just a good Man - He IS God's Son, being taken into Heaven after His Crucifixion & burial, showing our acceptance by God.
So, these religious leaders prided themselves in their knowledge of the Law & their authority to impose it, as well as their extra laws upon the people. They also loved to be seen by others & receive the praises of the people, etc. (you can read all about it in Mt 23). Jesus, in Mt 5:20, references these ungodly traits & acts by these leaders by telling his disciples, 'don't behave like those Jewish leaders who think themselves as the epitomy of righteousness, but rather you must behave in the manner prescribed by God'.
The apostle Paul also speaks of this in Rom 10:1-5, saying that Israel (because of these leaders) 'have a zeal of God but not according to knowledge; being ignorant of God's righteousness & going about to establish their own righteousness'. And what was the difference between them? They were sticklers for the law & added their own laws as well. God's righteousness is based purely on Faith & that through Jesus Christ, whom the leaders rejected ( Rom 10:8-12). No one coming in the strength of the Law can be saved: only those coming in faith. See Heb 11 for a great list of Faith Heroes, who were commended for their faith in action (righteousness) that went far beyond the Law.
he has a desire in his heart.His days were never numbered and he was purposed to
accomplish God's will.A gladness of unsurpassed measure was his because he
knew the facial expression,countenance, of the Lord.Yet, it was mercy of the Father
that sustained him in his explicit trust in the Father.A trust that grows within believers,
rooted in the trust of our Lord Jesus,the author and finisher of our faith.Hebrews12:2
(2:40-47)
"And THE LORD added to the CHURCH daily such as should be saved."
People build big buildings with great beauty, art; sculptures, but they can be dead as a door nail without Jesus in it by the Holy Spirit.
Get a grip. The people are out in the streets now. No apathy. Everyone's turned on to a cause. The Church needs to be out in the street too! Hand out some tracts. How do we know this isn't a move of God going on right now?! We're all banished from going to church so we're hiding out in the house.
You just want to hash for days how much you can expound on churches of the past.
Guess what? It was in the news how all the ancient churches have been sold to pay Taxes, so now they are reborn as event centers, restaurants with real art. Google it! Maybe we should consider what Peter said: it's all going to burn.
Is the hourglass full or empty?
Do you also have a supporting Scripture that the Gift of Tongues is a 'Heavenly language known only to God'? The Acts 2:4 account of Pentecost Day seems to indicate that the Tongues spoken was not Heavenly but Earthly & Paul's teaching on this in 1 Cor 14 was specifically to show that Tongues was an unknown (unlearned) language to the speaker but may be known to another present or to be used when one gifted with its Interpretation was present. Without an interpretation, the (unlearned) Tongue was not to be used however it could be used in prayer to God only, where "my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful" (v 14). This seems to me that apart from its use in prayer, the Tongue should only be used when someone who understands/interprets it is present.
I would be interested to learn what Scripture you know that can support what you've said.
The Holy Spirit was given to us by Jesus to be our Teacher. Questions you have should be asked of Him first.
Everything someone tells you should be compared to scripture. We are living in the last days and false teaching are out there. God has a plan for our lives: for good things; not evil.
Confusion and accusation is from the devil.
Proverbs 3:5-8. Trust in the Lord.
He truly deserves all praise and glory no matter what is going on here on planet earth.
He created it and knows all about it!!!
God bless you and thank you again!
I pray for all to find Christ Jesus, for the strength to not submit to the inevitable beast system lurking in the shadows.
Lord, I pray for your protection from all evil, seen and unseen.
God Bless America
God Bless the precious little time remaining.
God Bless everyone here tonight as we face the collapse of the Western world.
