Dear Chris, Thank you very much for your quick reply! Also, Thank you for confirming my suspicion that the "Escape of the Bride" is nonsense, and detrimental to believers in Christ who are being misled by a group of people who think they can put a date on something where scripture shows NO date!!! God Bless you, and see you when the REAL rapture happens!!! :)

Yeshua is the real Hebrew name for Jesus. Jesus is the english name for Yeshua. So Angel Gabriel must have been speaking in Hebrew to Mary. Hence Yeshua is the name angel Gabriel used. Whatever the case it is in order. Our God know we do not speak the same languages. In our national language, Jesus is called 'Yesu'. In my Meru mother tongue Jesus is 'Jesu'.

Be blessed.

Do not sorrow, for the joy of the Lord Jesus is our strength. Refer Nehemiah 8:10b.

Psalms 2:8, "Ask of Me. and I will give you nations for inheritance, and the ends of the earth for possession"

God loves you!

Dear Abimael,

Thank you very much for responding to my requests.

I would like to know what the Bible has to say and not Churches. Or Doctrines of man.

May be you will be able to clarify more clearly by studying Mathew 12:40, we need to seek the Truth.

Please help me.

Warm regards

Herman

Very perceptive of you Happy Jack, you are one of the first that I have seen that could concatenate the two passages. However, those are the number of days in the flesh, on this planet, so I hope you have been storing your treasures in heaven.

I believe God told Joshua to take over the leadership.

He needs an X-ray to look for structural damage. He may need a new mattress? Or walk a little every evening. If he doesn't drink milk, he may need citracal with D3.

If he's a Christian he may need to do some spiritual warfare. A spirit of infirmity can drag in others to chip away at his joy. To rev up his faith he needs to read the gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke, John (red letter edition). It helps to study how Jesus healed people. If you don't feed your faith; it stays little.

Erichburg, great Truths you have declared there. Though I see the original question (from nine years ago!), was to do with Jesus position as part of the Deity, yet the Scriptures show Him praying to the Deity, which seems unreasonable. The question is valid, but the understanding of Christ's position in incarnation is defective. I would turn to Psalm 8:5 which is the prophecy alluded to in Hebrews 2:9: "But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man." Also Phil 2:6-9.

These verses give us a glimpse: who the Word of God made incarnate is, & was given (by the Father or He took upon Himself voluntarily), some of the limitations of humanity. Jesus was in Heaven (pre-incarnate) as the Word only (some could disagree with me on this). That is, He was not known as Jesus there, but was the Word that proceeded from God, as was the Spirit of God. In His incarnation, he was given the Name of Jesus ( Lk 1:31), simply meaning, 'Saviour', which was not His Position pre-incarnation. Therefore, as the man Jesus, Who is the Christ, resorted to His Heavenly Father often in prayer, this seems quite appropriate given His Humanity & His position before God & in the Deity. And I would presume that in His ascended position at His Father's right Hand, He still holds the position of equality with the Godhead, yet as a Son (both human & part of the Godhead). Is this how you understand this?

Speaking from experience:

Improve your immune system: eat better, no junk food; spring water: vitamin D3 with calcium, multi-vitamin, sunshine, walking.

Attend a church where they pray for the sick. Corporate prayer, laying on hands; receive the healing.

A mother that prays for her children every day is a mom who loves them well. Pray what's in your heart. Read Proverbs every day; chapter by chapter. Speak that wisdom over them.

I am over 50 ignorant but curious if I was to pick up the Bible and start to read it where would I start once somebody had put me on the book of John what are your thoughts Hobson

Timothy, Bob has given excellent examples showing our first obedience is to the Lord in all things & as part of that obedience we are obey our governments, only if they don't demand that we deny Him in any way. Many through the ages withstood such govts. (think of the various Empires we've seen in history & to which (a type) all on Earth will one day be subject to), & those who disobeyed because of their faith & love for God, were executed. Fortunately, our govts. have not resorted to this, treating everyone 'fairly', but it won't be like this when the Anti-Christ reigns.

However, your point I see is, do we even have God-fearing leaders, & if we do, are they challenging the wicked legislations in place (which include homosexuality, abortion, wilful murder, & anything contrary to God's Word)? As you know, some are doing something in this regard, but if they are to be leaders with a voice, they know they cannot overstep the bounds set by their political party, or out they go. So really, the status quo is that good leaders have not really made too much of a difference. Who then do we obey? This really has to be a personal decision, according to the dictates of one's conscience.

For me, I refuse to vote, as to me it means hypocrisy (as it is, I have to be on guard over some weak areas in my life - I don't need to add another to it). I still obey the laws of the land, but my vote can't go to any person or party that dishonours God. We will never get a perfect govt, I know, but I believe as Christians we should expect God-honouring laws from people that fear God (& not man), that God may indeed bless our lands. The U.S & most other countries suffer greatly because of wickedness in 'high places'. Can we expect the blessings from God? What do we get instead from govts.? Laws that generally meet people's expectations, regardless of their correctness, so that the majority vote may be garnered when needed.

He sure did. When one (as David did) depends so much on the Lord, for provision, safety, companionship, wisdom, etc., the natural recourse is to talk it over with the Giver of Life & Love. This tells me how far short we fall in our communing with our Heavenly Father, Who not only gives us all that David received, but far more, a sure salvation through His only begotten Son. We have much to talk to God about & to praise Him for.

I have a skin disease called psoriasis and trying to get clear. My sons to be happy and know they are loved

The Bible says If any one lacks wisdom...... Who is the any one? Does it only refers to christains? How was James speaking to? How can we apply this today?

how much barley (measure) Ruth 3:15

SC - You claim Jesus was a female? what?

Matthew 1:1 The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the SON son of David, the son of Abraham.

Matthew 1:21 And she shall bring forth a SON son, and thou shalt call HIS his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.

Mark 1:1 The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the SON Son of God;

Luke 7:9 When Jesus heard these things, HE he marvelled at him,

John 6:42 And they said, Is not this Jesus, the SON son of Joseph

1 Thessalonians 2:19 For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Are not even ye in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at HIS his coming?

Prayers for my sons to find spouses of God-s choice. Blocking satans attempts at sending the wrong ladys. Also for my new spouse to show up sent by God for me too. Thankyou for praying

I suspected possible false church teachings 2x in Bible church ... I urgently felt the need for myself and wife to seek Jesus not Trump during 2016 presidential debates. Publicly baptized and accepted Jesus as savior in a safe space. We also attended bible studies and Praise worship and fellowship means every single week.

501C3 I also suspect is synonymous with at least partially beholden to Caesar (government).

My guy level beliefs after reading my own KJV Bible and praying for Holy Spirit discernment differs from pastoral teachings.

I think witnessing publicly that Jesus is savior to a hostile boss (trials/tribes) or as prophesied under persecution or certainty of death (seems likely) is more in line with the great disciples in my Bible.

Love thy neighbor as thy self. (esp neighbors who oppose me) (Works) is directly in line with gospel.

"Endure til the end" "few will choose the narrow path" in gospel doesn't seem to line up with the multitudes who being "taught" the Bible and choosing to believe in a pre tribulation rapture and immunity for themselves from all the extreme trials hardship and persecution of death reserved for other undefined non pre trib raptured people.

My husband would love to have another job. He has his Master's degree and would love to find a position teaching adults. But there are no current openings in our area. Please pray that God would open a door that no one can close. Thank you!

Rich, here is a verse for you: 1 John 1:9 "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."

Praise God for His forgiveness!

April, Adam, I believe, was not with Eve when the serpent was talking with her. The serpent was talking to Even when she was alone. Adam was somewhere else in the Garden. But Eve took the fruit and then then gave the fruit to her husband who possibly just walked up to her after she took the fruit. The Bible indicates that Adam knew what he was doing, in 1 Timothy 2:14 "And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression." Adam knew that Eve had sinned and because he loved her he decided to join her in whatever punishment she incurred.

Connie, it was God's plan for His people to go over Jordan into the Promised Land. So Joshua led them into this special place.

Victor, what this means is that a person cannot server both God and mammon. It is not wrong to make money but when you wan to serve money, and it becomes your master then you cannot serve God also.

Victor, the law and the prophets mean the first five books of the Bible.

Please help me pray for my brother who is in continuous pain on his hips down to thighs to the legs, I'm asking God to heal him in Jesus name

It's always an interesting exercise when considering future events & places & the one you are sharing is one of them.

Firstly, the New Jerusalem will be on the New Earth, i.e. not in Heaven. With the dimensions given of the city, it appears to sit in a cube, though one can rightly assume that the height of it probably means to the point where the clouds/atmosphere ends. The walls at 144 cubits (1 cubit = 1.5 ft) makes them 216 ft (again, probably height since the necessity for walls of that thickness seem unnecessary). Your further details of population density was interesting: I had never considered this to that extent. Though, our whole being (i.e. as those outfitted for Heavenly life) & therefore the necessity for shopping malls, beaches, etc. seem unnatural since we will be in the presence of Almighty God (v3), enjoying Him & His Son in continual praise & worship & thus we would pursue a lifestyle akin to what had in Heaven.

What did pique my interest was vv 26,27. "And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life." I just can't work out why the reference to sinners in a New Earth since all evil has been locked away by this time. Or, is it just to show the purity & holiness of the Earth & Jerusalem, that nothing evil could ever hope to come into it (i.e. if evil existed). And who are the nations? Any thoughts?

I need prayers or help for my brother who is alcoholic, stays alone and has no hope in life, I'm continually praying God to deliver him from this life, save him and make him repent and se his problem.

Victor, to answer your question, it means that the people wanted Jesus to go away. He had just cast out the devils that were in the devil possessed man and he sent the devils into the pigs. The pigs drowned themselves and the men who had the devils was now healed. But those who owned the pigs, they now had no animals. Therefore they wanted this Man Who did these remarkable things to leave them.

Very concerned; the qurstion uses an explanation in error when it attributes Lot & Esau having descendants from Moabites & Ammonites. Those 2 decendants are both from Lot's older & younger daughter. Esau's decendants are the Edomites.

I totally agree with Stephen Botts. God's word also tells us not to use our freedom as an opportunity to sin, because we are free from sin, in a spiritual sense, so we continue to strive in the leading of His holy spirit. We must grow and mature in Christ Jesus, while He continues to sanctify us which is an ongoing process. God is moving Believers to perfection, and when He returns, He will complete our perfection. We are to contend to the faith and the way of Christ while we are waiting. We a=should be in a state of mind to love His appearing. Blessings.

I am persecuted by demonic forces. Up to three years ago,

I held on .But in a great beat down, and suffering in which

I finally broke. I do not seem to have the heart to be, as

before. Praying and reading. I keep remembering this great

suffering, and no help. No hope. No answers. And no reason.

Can I recieve the heart, to be faithfull ? I dont even remember.

Even though, Gids Word still flows from my mouth for others.

For myself, I can only groan in pains that never stop.
