Dog spirits? Going ot have to teach me that one.

:?D

Thanks for the info. I had heard things about the Dakes, but like you said the lists are helpful. When you search historical events, are there reliable websites to go to?

Vincent,

You are correct. A person does not have to learn Greek and Hebrew to understand the English bible, and I would never tell anyone that. I believe it is a great tool for studying. It has helped me a lot. But that is just for me personally. I would never tell you or anyone else that they need to learn Greek. I think it would be great if we all knew it, but again, that's an individual's choice. If Greek offends you, I would for sure stay away from it.

I was simply trying to give an accurate representation of where faith comes from. If there is anything in my answer to the original question that you see in error, please let me know. If I may ask, you say that the King James Bible is "the literal translation." How do you know that? Like most English Bibles, it is a translation from Greek. So how do you know it is "the literal translation" without just taking someone's word for it?

I have absolutely nothing negative to say about the King James Bible. It is the only English bible I fully trust, and it is the only one I use in my study. I believe it to be the most accurate translation. But it is a translation. And as far as Greek goes, I don't have the time to sit down with the Textus Receptus and the King James Bible and do a side by side, word for word check to see if it is a "literal translation." So just like you, I'm stuck with just taking someone's word for it that the translators made no errors.

Ruth 1:22 the question was actually, how is Orpha related to Naomi, and. Daughter in law. Ruth 1:22 is cited- Orpha was married to Naomi's son Mahlon.

We don't know if Orpha was married to Mahlon or Cilion. It is a mistake to suggest we do.

The question Who was Mahlon's married to/ wife: Answer Orpha

The bible does not explicitly say. 50% chance it is true, but the bible does not tell us.

Just like Shem, Ham & Japheth- it would be an error to think Shem is the oldest.

God is good!

Check Isaiah 5:20

You are not alone in this Dana. You are surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses and Jesus promised he would be with you always.

Romans 10:9 If you confess with your mouth and believe in your heart that Father God had raised Jesus from the dead, you will be saved.

Hi Carol, you are allowed to remarry the person should you wish. It is only when your ex had remarried after your divorce, get divorced again, that he MAY NOT marry you. So if there was no other marriage in between, you are allowed to remarry him. If will thus be your free will...Shux who ever does that is a much person than me...I could never !!!!! If you could live with it, it is no problem. Hope it helps Carol. All my Jesus love !!!!

Lord we ask that you lift this Corona-virus up so that we may return to work and bless you for all that you have ever done for us and continue to do for us in our daily walk with you. This we ask in Jesus name Amen!

Lord I ask that you give this gentleman the knowledge and wisdom in his ministries to help his church members to acknowledge and understand what you have for them to hear in your Scriptural study. Let your message touch their hearts and move their spirits within each of them and know that you are there for them in good and bad times in their lives.

Lord I pray that you will touch this woman's heart as she goes to see her doctor today. Give the doctor knowledge to do what is best in giving her the best care possibly. This we ask in Jesus name. Amen!

Odd we dont put abilities in a bank to earn interest we ha

Hi, I believe that that wad an act of unbelive, that they did not believe Father's Word and serious consequences to disobedience. I dont believe that Father would expect a person to take ones ex-husband back if he had slept with another woman. That person made a bad choice and one has to forgive, but apply ones one free will and not obliged.

Thank you

Jesus reigns

Why Jesus did not make miracles in the presence of Pontius Pilatus and High Jewish religious priests.

Also, When Jesus raised from the Death He should have presented himself to the Roman government who condemned him to be crucified and the Jewish High priest that asked the Government to crucify Jesus. If He showed himself were it counts, the people of planet Earth would have accepted Christianity as their sole religion. The first one to see him was Maria Madeleine and some other unidentified women why?

Please pray for me

Here I'm reading 23 psalm and find beneath it the rantings of lunatics.

There is nothing wholesome in the minds of people who use Christian historical writings to reinforce such twisted beliefs.

Go out and do good works to help some of the people you have harmed and feel healthy in the burden lifted from your twisted souls.

That's a lovely poem, Patty, really expressing your special dream. It's such a wonderful sense the Lord gives us, whether we are awake, in sleep, or reading His Word, He adds that special view of the unknown that just lifts us up, especially when we need it the most. Blessings.

Amen. Rev 13:8 and 21:27. All who are written here are sealed & secure.

In the old testament there was the law of God and other laws. The must do to be holy and sanctified. When Christ died on the cross and rise again, we died with Him and rise with Him. When we believe in Christ, we are reborn, God planted His seed in us. The do has disappeared and we are a new Creation in Christ. We don't have to do anything we have liberty in Christ and we can live Christ. Gal 2:20. Our lives is our testimony and our words confirm that. There are several places where Paul stated that we are perfect in Christ. We don't have to do anything anymore save to build a living relationship with Christ.

LOL. Preach it. I'm loving it.

I was doing a whole big study on Lucifer because there's so much schism about it.

But now I think there's too much Bible left in the New Testament alone, that deserves as much comment and explanation to 2020's people. Just today I ran over my favorite dog (spirits) verse, but I lost it again :/ kinda brutal.

Rick, this group speaks of the initial taking away of the Church (the pre-Tribulation escape as they call it in 2020), & then the mid-Trib. Rapture of the remaining Church in 2026. All gobbledegook & not Scriptural based.

I urge you to avoid this sort of stuff as they are just added to the great list of other groups & cults that have attempted to put dates on future biblical events & have failed. Just look at the many attempts by the JWs. The Scriptures urge us to be ready for the Lord's coming, to keep short accounts with Him, & be watchful. There will be world events that will show us that time is getting short (keep your eyes peeled on Israel & Jerusalem), but to put a date & time on these events, is very unwise indeed.

Can't say that I know much about the Dakes Bible (by Finis Dake), though I used to sell it when giving some help in a Christian bookstore in the '80s. Many, particularly pastors, seemed to want it for its many references, though others expressed some concern. Dake was an evangelical Pentecostal minister, though had a chequered history in his earlier years. I actually use Charles C. Ryrie's Study Bible (Dallas Theo. Seminary), which has been a great blessing over my 41 yrs as a believer.

I had to research "Moab". Wikipedia gives a good account of it if for nothing else, to get you started into further research.

Carlos, we're keeping each other busy today, but I do enjoy our exchanging of views.

Apologies, I did mean Gen 4:16 (finger trouble). So, to briefly respond to your questions:

a. Cain & Abel's responsibilities: in their own farm & flocks; v 4 implies that Abel offered from HIS flock, as taking an animal from another flock would amount to stealing, unless permission was given.

b. Cain feared for his life: it could be he was talking about the future when in the passage of time, these others would seek out his life.

c. No idea who Nod was, just know it as shown in v 16. One can assume that the city was not the only one, or maybe it was the only one at that time.

d. Satan's accepting God's limits on him. 1:12 "all that he HATH" & 2:5,6 "upon his BODY". Life & death are the prerogative of God alone ( Deut 32:39; 1 Sam 2:6), that even Satan can't intrude into. That Satan was limited only to Job's possessions, & later, to affecting his body, was God's limit to the extent of influence upon Job. Whether Satan would have attempted to take Job's life as well, though would be unsuccessful, is arguable, but for the declaration by God to not go that far or to attempt to go that far.

e. Lk 22:31: not "asked" but "desired" to sift you as wheat. That's Satan's prerogative: to do as he wishes with us, except for the bounds set by God. I sometimes wonder what would be our state on Earth, if Satan had unlimited access to our lives.

f. Satan asking permission to go after Peter. He didn't ask for permission. To go after Adam. Again, no permission asked for. About the demoniac: to go into swine. Yes, permission was asked for, they're in subjection/limited ( Lk 10:17). I couldn't get the gist of the remaining part of your comment on Job 38, as to the connection to Permission, since God was speaking to Job about His Greatness & Power. Of course, if Satan indeed asked permission against Adam & Peter, then I could understand from where you're coming.

That was very sweet to let us read that. Tell it to all the Lord will show To you.

There is still beauty when life hurts.

LET US discuss the Falling Away of the Church.

Discuss what is the 2ND DEATH?

Isaiah 5:20

Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

Lots of WOES in that chapter. Better stay away from that ...

Only Father God knows the time. Jesus doesn't know it.

The Bride of Christ is male, female, young, old, children; Born again deceased, pre-born.

Don't buy any of their books...

There are seducing spirits. ...having done all, to stand.
