    Most High Lord of Abraham Isaac and Jacob. Please quench my thirst for knowledge of You Dear Lord. Show me the words to share salvation with my family. Help me lead them to you Heavenly Father.

    Praise and bless your infinite Power and Glory Dear Lord.

    I pray this in Your Only begotten Son Jesus' name

    Amen and Amen.

    Cris, your statement: "Jesus came only for the lost sheep of Isreal not the whole world", indicates to us that you hold little or no regard to the rest of the New Testament. Am I right? If so, I can't offer further comment.

    But if I'm wrong & you do believe in the NT as well, then please consider these few verses (to which matter there are many more verses): of Paul, Gal 1:15,16; Acts 9:15,16; Rom 15:15-18; etc. Why was Paul sent by Christ to minister to the Gentiles? Apparently, so that they too could hear the Gospel & be saved (1 Thes 2:8-16, especially verses 14-16), therefore fulfilling the Lord's Word that He had 'other sheep' that still had to come into His fold ( Jn 10:14-17).

    You might be "for my people 12 tribes of israel" & that is wonderful, but since Israel was cut out from the olive tree because of their 'blindness to the Messiah' ( Romans 11, especially verses 18-25), they are in desperate need for the "fullness of the Gentiles" to be accomplished before they will one day be saved. It's not possible to rule out clear & abundant Scripture showing that Christ came for all people, Jew & Gentile alike, rather we ought to be concerned for the many who are going into a Christ-less eternity having never heard the Gospel & opportunity to be saved (I speak here not of God's election but man's concern & responsibility).
  • Anthony r johnson on Revelation 1:14 - 5 years ago
    I disagree with the color agenda. But I also disagree with the reference of scripture. If you will read that part of Revelation it is speaking of Jesus as a judge. The White Hair, The Bronze Feet. The Bible says that Jesus was from Nazareth. A place in Israel that was commonly Hot and Dry. Yes all of these men had a tanned skin. But Cris, the Bible does say that Jesus came into the world not to condemn it, but that it might be saved. He did not only come for the Israelites he grafted all into the vine. So that all men(women) might be saved.
  • Anthony r johnson - In Reply on Ephesians 1 - 5 years ago
    Mari B.

    I differ from you somewhat on your explanation of Acts 2:38. To my understanding you are receiving the Holy Spirit upon the new birth. The birth by water in John 3, is the fleshly birth.( uh oh my water just broke) and then born of the Spirit is the second birth. I believe verse 6 says that which is born of flesh is flesh and that which is born of the spirit is spirit. That is an explanation by Jesus on the new birth. I do believe that you have to be born again to enter the kingdom of Heaven. But also the water baptism is an outward expression of an inward change. Water baptism has nothing to do with salvation. No where in the gospels does it speak of any baptism that seals your salvation. The Word does say in Acts 4:12 There is salvation in no other, there is no other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved. Salvation is the gift of God and the shedding of Jesus blood for the remission of our sins. Christ and Christ alone.

  • Kathy Davies on Psalms 24:10 - 5 years ago
    Jesus The Lord of host, which are the angels in heaven, Jesus said in Mathews he can call on 12 legions of angels, we can call on the hosts of heaven also for help on earth , that's there main function to help us on earth.
  • Adam - In Reply on Revelation 1 - 5 years ago
    Jesus said otherwise in the Bible. Luke 19:10, Acts 17:26, John 12:46 - he came to save the lost of all people, not just who you claim are your 'own people'. Why do you care about skin color so much? Why not eye color? Why not height or weight? We're all individuals of equal value, not members of fictional political tribes. Satan is deceiving people into believing they are unequal and trying to divide everyone and some are believing the lie.

    Lamentations 4:7 - you know Jesus was from Nazareth, right? This says they're white so that counterbalances the assumption that because someone's hair is like wool it must be black. Other races can have wool-like hair too. There's plenty of hair variety within the races.
  • Chris - In Reply on Exodus 15 - 5 years ago
    D.J., if that were the case of Gen 1:26-28 referencing another creation of people simultaneously to Adam & Eve, then the question of the beginning of sin & its transmission comes up.

    Romans 5:12, in my understanding, tells me that sin was first committed by Adam & Eve, resulting in both spiritual & physical death to them, & so this death sentence (in & from A & E) passed upon all men. Given your understanding of the creation of man (not mankind in Gen 1:26-28), how did this transmission of the sin nature (or, even original sin) pass upon all men? Or, maybe this 'other creation of mankind' were likewise tempted to sin, with resulting death, which would make Paul's understanding erroneous by believing that the inception & transmission of sin was only through Adam.

    I realize that this matter has been raised earlier, but felt to just bring this out, as there needs to be a fuller justification of our understanding of the Word to those who read about this. No mischief intended - just scriptural proof for our positions for this very basic, important teaching.
  • Mari B on Ephesians 1 - 5 years ago
    Douglas Russell, Please read my comment in here. We must receive Christ by repenting. That means turning away from a wrong way of living & truly living for our Lord Jesus every day of our life. We can not do this on our own. It's why we need the Holy Spirit. It's a spiritual birth from above. We must surrender our life unto him. Let go & A!low him to lead our life thru the Holy Spirit. (Holy Ghost & the Holy Spirit are the same). Holy Spirit will lead you to all truth. If we are not lead by the Spirit, we are none of his. Romans 8. Let no man tell you different. Acts 2:38 is the New Testament salvation thru faith, love & obeying the gospel. This is all in the Bible. I learned this bc I was so hungry for God's truth. I still am. He loves everyone but it doesn't mean everyone will be saved. Stay in prayer each day. Ask him for his help. Thank him. Yes give thanksgiving into Christ. We are in the world but we must not love the world. now w the indwelling of God's Spirit, soon you will have the fruits of the Spirit. Peace, love, joy, faith, longsuffering, meekness, kindness. Praise him daily. He loves to be praised & he deserves to be praised & worshiped. God is a Spirit & we must Worship him in Spirit & in truth. This is also biblical. Amen

    Okay thank you
  • Mari B on Ephesians 1 - 5 years ago
    I meant John 3: 3-8 is where Jesus spoke in red letter words about water & the Spirit are needed to enter into the kingdom of God. Thank you Jesus
  • Mari B on Ephesians 1 - 5 years ago
    Jesus spoke in John 3-8 about the water & Spirit & how it is needed to enter into the kingdom of God. After we read the gospels we then go to the book of Acts. We must obey Acts 2:38. It's for everyone. The Bible from Acts & on is for the people that came from the book of Acts; the baptized, Holy Spirit filled,saved people/churches. First obey Acts 2:38 before you can claim Romans 9:10 or any other verse I was water baptized yet I didn't receive the Holy Ghost until nearly 3 yrs later. You will speak in tongues as the sign of receiving the Holy Ghost. It's a heavenly language known into God. Also in Acts 1:8 says you will receive power once the Holy Ghost has come upon you. Its a wonderful journey. We must know our God & obey the gospel. 2 Thessalonians 1:7-9 kjv is clear on these words. Amen
  • Bob Hilt - In Reply on Revelation 1 - 5 years ago
    Bible book Song of Solomon 5:10 - My beloved is WHITE white and ruddy, the chiefest among ten thousand.

    Bible book Lamentations 4:7 - Her Nazarites were purer than snow, they were WHITER whiter than milk, they were more ruddy in body than rubies, their polishing was of sapphire: (Ruddy means reddish as in blush)

    Revelation 1:14 - His (Jesus) HEAD head and his hairs were WHITE white like wool, as WHITE white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; 15 And his feet like unto fine brass,

    (Brass is made of copper which is REDDISH GOLDEN BROWN) as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters. The world hates white Christians especially it seems today.

    Who printed the Bibles and built the churches? Europe and the USA or Africa and asia?
  • Cris - In Reply on Revelation 1 - 5 years ago
    Revelation 14 hair like wool only black people have hair of wool I know that people like to always say middle eastern because they can be more comfortable with that than saying Jesus was an israelite from the tribe of Judah a black man Color does matter to me because my people have been lied to and still being lied to about the physical appearance of the Isrealites Lord and savior he did not come to save the world only the Nation of Isreal before just reading only John 3 16 also read Mathew 15:24 you have to read the bible precept upon precept Jesus came only for the lost sheep of Isreal not the whole world every one has their own interpretation but I'm for my people 12 tribes of israel
  • Obbie Beal on Revelation 19:20 - 5 years ago
    As it relate to verse 1-3 above let us we review.

    Note: in this case of this Great Whore from her beginning to her end, her 'intent' is kill, steal, and destroy men, women, children, using whatever means she had. It is important to know she 'is not' concern with pleasure from intimacy even though such a pretensions may have been one of many deadly weapons she used on us /nations when applicable.

    Note: she is a master of sorcery thereby her sinful actions guan teed success, so kings /people open their arms /country to her until she corrupted the WHOLE EARTH.

    Note: Her corruption and yeast are identical, meaning both when planted spreads and multiply until it takes-over all, all from the top officials down to the street person.

    Note: as Queen, she is empowered with another power /political power thereby she can flaunt herself. Such Queens /kings as this always have a mighty army to control, and in this case she flaunt it thinking she was untouchable.

    Note: artfully and where applicable she boldly was the means of slain men, women, children, and she thought the blood of those slain was well hidden, but Jehovah /GOD remained her restrainer /recorder until the day HE bring her down. GOD the JUDGE, JURY, and EXECUTIONER.

    Note: GOD blessed her, never-the-less she corrupted the WHOLE EARTH with her fornication /sins, and finally GOD passed HIS judgement on The Great Whore.

    fornication - any type relationships prohibited by JEHOVAH /GOD.
  • Adam - In Reply on Revelation 1 - 5 years ago
    Middle Eastern Jews today are medium olive skinned just like Jesus and others were 2,000 years ago. But most were probably very tan and dark, because they walked outside long distances. That opinion is based on scripture and evidence. However, I also don't care what the exact color is. It makes zero difference what his skin pigment is nor anyone else's. It's like people are trying to earn political or social points for their own team by convincing themselves someone they like is a certain skin color. I think doing so is wrong. Jesus died for everyone- he already said that in the Bible, so pigment is irrelevant and it really detracts from the message to keep talking about it.
  • Bob Hilt - In Reply on Matthew 12:31 - 5 years ago
    Revelation 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. satanism is considered sorcery.
  • Cris - In Reply on Revelation 1 - 5 years ago
    Edomite with black feet as if they were burnt in a furnace how so Jesus was a black man i know its hard to digest because of the false truth that has been the portrayal since The Roman Catholic church which is the synagogue of Satan Jesus Christ is a Black Man from the tribe of Judah
  • James Otto Yahnke on 2 Esdras 11 - 5 years ago
    Hi James,

    The number of short feathers on the left wing is 2 (for President Kennedy and President Nixon). How is President Carter and President George Herbert Walker Bush treated. They both served 1 term of 4 years. Are they considered short feathers?

    Thanks,

    P.S. A fantastic presentation!

  • Hogan - In Reply on Genesis 20 - 5 years ago
    Very good and true points. "The Bible gives the history of people, which includes the good and bad of what they did. People did much evil then just like people do much evil today " That's why we all need Christ.
  • Jesse - In Reply on Matthew 7:14 - 5 years ago
    Chris,

    I do agree that there are other English translations that are easier to read than the KJV. Maybe that's why I was given a Living Bible as my first Bible. It's not one I would recommend to anyone. I definitely wouldn't give it to one of my kids or grandkids. I don't think my mother knew much about the LB before she gave it to me. It's not even a translation, but a paraphrase. That's what concerns me about paraphrase bibles. The author can write anything he or she wants and then publish it. I only used two verses as an example. There are many others that I feel completely change the true meaning of the text. That's what matters the most to me. I am not a "King James Only" person, even though that is the translation I study from. There are other good English translations that are easier to read than the KJV. I can't argue that. But for myself, I stay away from the LB. I hope I have not offended anyone here that does use that version. We are all free to choose whatever Bible we want. We just have to ask ourselves what is most important to us when choosing a translation, accuracy or easy to read.
  • Bob Hilt - In Reply on Exodus 15 - 5 years ago
    Greetings Joan, where did Cain get his wife?

    I believe the answer to that lies in a careful reading of the book of Ezekiel 31.

    Does one build a city with just a husband and a wife as Cain did Genesis 3:17
  • Bob Hilt - In Reply on Genesis 1:10 - 5 years ago
    Mike that is very well written. I know we are limited to how much we can write on this forum and thought that I would add this to those wonderful thoughts you posted.

    Revelation 13:1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. a beast rise up out of the sea

    Revelation Chapter 17:1 And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many WATERS waters:

    14 These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him [are] called, and chosen, and faithful.

    15 And he saith unto me, The WATERS waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.

    The WATERS waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.

    Genesis 3:3

    "But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die."

    Revelations 3:16

    So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth
  • D.J. - In Reply on Mark 7:7 - 5 years ago
    Isaac,

    Romans 8:28 basically states that the plan of God will be done through His "elect" children.

    God also utilizes Satan's children to bring about His perfect plan, look at Isaiah 10:5, 19:25, Jeremiah 42:18, etc.

    The "elect" children of God concerns "predestination," look at Romans 8:29-30, 1 Corinthians 2:7, Ephesians 1:5, 11.

    Predestination has to do with understanding that there are 3 earth and heaven ages spoken of in the word of God, 2 Peter 3:5-6 speaks of the 1st dispensation of time; 2 Peter 3:7 speaks of the 2nd dispensation of time; and 2 Peter 3:13 speaks of the 3rd dispensation of time.)

    The 1st earth and heaven age ended due to the fall of Satan, and is recorded in Genesis 1:1-2. The earth BECAME without form and void; God did not make it that way!

    The 2nd earth and heaven age came into being when the spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters and God said Let there be Light ( Genesis 1:2-3)

    The 3rd earth and heaven age is what all children of God look forward to.

    God "did foreknow" ( Rom 8:29) each and every one of us because we were all there in the 1st Dispensation of time.

    Jeremiah was (foreordained) a prophet BEFORE he was born ( Jeremiah 1:5).

    God hated Esau BEFORE he was born because Esau despised his (birth)-right and (likely) followed Satan in the 1st earth age ( Genesis 25:32-34, Malachi 1:3, Romans 9:13, Hebrews 12:16)
  • Robert Marino on Genesis 10 - 5 years ago
    Hi Chris,

    I have been real busy. You sound kind of post-trib or pre-wrath to me when you mentioned God's wrath in your comment. There is no reason to put a gap in 1st Thess. 4:13-18 just because harpazo and parousia are in verses 15 and 17. The Bible doesn't do that so we shouldn't do that. It seems to me that the rapture is THAT particular resurrection whether you want to believe in more than one. Yes, there is no gap in that passage just like there is no gap in Genesis 1:1 and verse 2 thta some scholars magically put in there ignoring grammar, context and the word yom.

    I believe it is this way.

    1. Satan pours out his wrath for 3 1/2 years based on Revelation stating a 3 1/2 year time period, not a 7 year that supposedly wasn't fulfilled in Daniel 9:24 - 27 because the Bible clearly states that Jesus died in the middle of the 70th week if you follow the antecedent of 'he' in verse 27 as it points to Matthew, 23's curse. This is why verse 27 in Daniel 9 doesn't say abomination but plural abominationS. This verse has nothing to do with a future antichrist but is Jesus Himself as that is what the passage is about and fulfills all the warnings of Matthew 20, 21, 22, and 23.The abominationS is the return to animal sacrifice for 40 years after Jesus died.

    2. God pours out his wrath with plagues for an indeterminate amount of time. We know ONE plague lasts 5 months alone so my guess is at least a few years to ten or more. The Bible doesn't state either way. My question for you here is since this is typology of the time God brought Israel out of Egypt, 1. where were the children of Israel at the time of the plagues?, Answer: still in Egypt and Egypt is a type of the world.

    3. Grapes of WRATH. THE RETURN OF JESUS. This wrath really is the beginning of judgment where the wicked are taken first as in the days of Noah.

    God Bless!
  • Mike on Genesis 1:11 - 5 years ago
    The "dry" land is the meek heart dried up the waters of evil speaking. Happy are the "poor in spirit"that is, poor in breath as they will be swift to hear His opened mouth teaching and slow to speak.poor in words.

    Matthew 5:2-3 KJV

    (2) And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,

    (3) Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

    The good ground.the honest and good heartshall hear the Word and keep it and bring forth the fruit of righteousness towards His teaching of the Word of God.



    Luke 8:15-16 KJV

    (15) But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.

    The earth shall bring forth "grass"that is, peace within the heart. The fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace. They will act in the wisdom that descends from above and not in that earthly, devilish wisdom that is from below the Heaven.



    James 3:18 KJV

    (18) And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.

    The herb yielding seed after his kind is faith in what they hear Him saying. There are different degrees of faith. The fruit tree yielding fruit whose seed is in itself is the kingdom of God within us that can grow into a great tree. We are to be His planting of the trees of His righteousness.



    Luke 13:18-19 KJV

    (18) Then said he, Unto what is the kingdom of God like? and whereunto shall I resemble it?

    (19) It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and cast into his garden; and it grew, and waxed a great tree; and the fowls of the air lodged in the branches of it.

    The seed within us is able to save our souls but we must be "dry" within the heart of all superfluity of naughtiness that overflows the heart in words. We must be doers of His Word.

    James 1:21 KJV

    (21) Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.
