Where does it say "Who is like unto the O LORD"

What if God did that with us? What if God judged us by our outward appearance? What if He judged us based on where we grew up? Or what we do for a living? Or the mistakes we made when we were young? He wouldn't do that, would He? "Judge not,that you be not judged. For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you " ( Matthew 7:1,2-NKJV )

So be careful when you judge. That doesn't mean we shouldn't discern. That does mean we shouldn't pass the verdict. The amount of grace you give is the amount you get. Jesus had another view of the man born blind. Rather than see him as an opportunity for discussion, He saw him as an opportunity for God. Why was he blind? "That the works of God should be revealed in him" ( John 9:3)

The Spirit of God is the Spirit of the LORD, the Spirit of Wisdom and Understanding, the Spirit of Counsel and Might, the Spirit of Knowledge and Of The Fear of the LORD.

Praise God, Thank You!

The KJVInterpret:

The KJVBible is a media for the interpolation of the days of the generations, in the telling of the Creation. This is how Jesus provided us with information about things we cannot know, He has; by His wisdom, included everything we need, written in the KJVText. The "generations" exist in other dimensions, of which we can have no knowledge; this is the "sin" of the KJVBible. We cannot sin in this world; it is beyond our comprehension. This is why all the stories of the days of the Creation, have been interpolated from the Knowledge of God; into a matrix of understanding written in the KJVBible, by the Holy Word of the LORD.

This is not about the message in any one passage. Paul has demonstrated how there is an underlying discourse pattern throughout the KJVBible, which reveals things about the works of God; those of ancient times could not of understood. And, as a matter of fact, a message like this could only have been accomplished by an everlasting, omnipotent God!

Hi Susan : The Pharasees would not belive that Jesus was the Son of God, so when Jesus restored the blind man sight he asked him vs 35 Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when he had found him, he said unto him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God? 36 He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might believe on him? 37 And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee. 38 And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him. So becaused the blind man had belived he was the Son of God he sees the truth, but when the Pharasees said are we blind also, it was there sin remainith, because of there unbelief, that he was the Son of God.

The people who beat up some messengers and killed some, are the religious leaders, not being true worshippers of God. The son who is killed at the end of the line of messengers is the Messiah. The owner of the Vineyard is God.

The next portion which seems hard to understand to me is about marriage. In the resurrection, there will be no formality or arrangements to marriage. Even in some cases. there are people alive now who are in unequally yoked marriages. At that time, the believer will be able to have the person who was truly created for him/her. I know mine, and I'm not with her.

Paul - Yes we can not be saved without baptism, however getting the body wet is not it.

Mark Chapter 1: 6 And John was clothed with camel's hair, ...

7 And preached, saying, There cometh one mightier than I after me, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose.

8 I indeed have baptized you with water: but he (Jesus) shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost.

Acts 1:5 For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.

1 Corinthians 12:13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.

John 3:7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. (of the Spirit)

Matthew 3:11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:

Hi Ms White: Its not there, God is not sending plagues like he did in the old testament, don't be fooled by what you hear, we are under Grace, God is not punishing the belivers or sinners. God is a sovereign God and he has everything under control & for us belivers All things work together for good to those who Love God and are called according to his purpose. What good can come out of all this depends on you, if we die from it Praise God, to absent from the body and to present with the Lord. For God does not give us the Spirtit of Fear but of Power Love and of a sound mind. Rest your Faith on his Grace, his Word and His Love for You.

Hi Thomas: No insulting is not a sin, Jesus himself several times insultaed the Pharasees for there Hypocrisy, the world would have you feel bad when especially the religous folks when you speak against those who maybe speaking contrary to the bible, you just tell the truth and if its hurts someone oh well. They that Love the Lord shall not be offended.

Hi Emily: the best way to get closer to God is too read the Bible, I recommed reading Pauls letters Ephesians, Collosians, Phillipians, ect... Just a brief history Act 9 is where Jesus himself chose Paul to preach the gospel of Grace, Jesus himself has set aside the jewish kingdom gospel, do to there rejection Rom 11:11, God is reaching out to us Gentiles by his grace, and the gospel message for us today is found in 1Cor 15:1-4 Paul make it very clear. The Gospels are all about Jesus Kingdom Message that he had promised King David, however they rejected there King & after his resurrection Jesus did have the Apsotles continue to preach the kingdom message but after Acts 7 it Changed Acts 9.

how do I figure out the oldest bible verse I've read ?

Amen Well said James Brooks!

Where in the Bible are we taught, God did for us what we could not do ourselves? How does grace come to us? By faith. Unless you believe James is a liar, Faith without works is dead. You can't have grace without faith. If you understood the full context of the Bible you will see we are saved by grace and works. I say again, unless you believe James is liar. But in the end, our salvation will be decided by He who took upon Him the sin of the world so whether we follow Him in good works unto grace, the Master will decide our salvation, not us. Therefore may not man boast in his own good works for God is Christ. And if you or I do any good works, it by His grace. You cannot be saved without baptism. I'll gladly point that out to you in the Bible.

We have been already pardoned,forgiven,justified, and accepted by God, we are being refashioned and made ready to live in the presence of the wondrous Christ. It is the indwelling Christ who gives us the strength and the power to live a Christian life. ( 1Peter 5:7 -KJV) Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

We can't let people take away our sense of judgment. There are things we are to judge. We are to judge rightly. ( Dt 25:2; Jn 7:24) Saints will judge world ( 1 Cor 6:2). Help me with being able to judge rightly without being judgmental.

not afraid of the road, only afraid of short.

Should not be taken out of context, of course, Read the whole chapter to see what it refers to. 4

Buthe shall not defile himself,beinga chief man among his people, to profane himself.

This is a very significant portion of scripture..It is talking about the door finally being opened to anyone who was not Jew, having opportunity for salvation, through the Apostolic doctrine of Acts 2:38. Peter knew that they had recieved the Holy Spirot because as he preached, the Holy Ghost fell upon them like in Acts 2, and they began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance signifying Spirit baptism, which led him to direct them all to Water baptism in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ for the remission of their sins. Neither of these baptisms are optional, but necessary for salvation. The book of the Acts of the Apostles is where the church began, and where we can observe how they applied what Jesus taught them.

LYNN: when I trusted Jesus it was the worst and the best day of my life. I didn't learn much in church when I was young. I heard about God and Jesus, but they didn't speak about the Holy Spirit. After a years of pain and loneliness the day of Salvation came. I received Jesus. The next morning everything looked the same but different. I did things without knowing why. Later I would find out it was the Holy Spirit. He comforted me while showing me how to be free of all the emotional pain I had lived. I started reading the Bible and haven't laid it down since. I have never known a love so deep and wide as God's love. Song of Solomon 2:16, 6:3, 7:10, I was smitten with the deepest feeling of belonging and being loved no matter what! If I made mistakes I was so afraid He'd stop loving me. It was day by day, and learning how to depend on someone to love me no matter what. Receive Jesus and his gift, Holy Spirit. You'll never walk alone again. Open the door of your heart. God cares.

5, 6, 7 9 15 16 17 18 20 21 24 25 so difficult and fun to pick my favourite verses but I think

Probably 6, 9, 16, 24, one of them, but I am not sure which, Incidentally, I would say that we can see God's purpose in this chapter.

Apologies, the 1 Corinthian reference should read, 1 Cor 5:9-11.

(third comment): So those early sacrifices were only a shadow of the Perfect, Sinless, Lamb of God (Jesus Christ); i.e. an animal's death could never fully atone as a substitutionary payment for sin - it was only temporary till God's provision of HIS Lamb. (see Heb 9:6-28 for this). So Jesus, the Lamb of God (God's Word) became our substitution in death & our separation from God for all eternity. If Jesus had not come we would all go to hell & deserving of it. But "in due time" ( Rom 5:6), He came to give His Life on our behalf, so for ALL WHO BELIEVE, they would not perish in hell but have everlasting life ( Jn 3:16). But if Jesus remained dead in the tomb, then we would have no worthwhile sacrifice & we would still be guilty of our sins. But we know, that Jesus rose from the dead showing His Victory over the power of death & Satan, & God accepted His payment for our sins & so justified us ( Rom 4:25). Justification = Just as if we had never sinned. This only can come through Jesus.

(from previous comment No 1). You may know that in the Old Testament, God's people, the Israelites (Jews), had to perform various sacrifices, along with observance of days & various other instructions (see Book of Exodus & Leviticus). Normally, payment for our sin (any sin) against God is death, but in His Mercy, God instituted these sacrifices and given to remind the people that for their sin, they had to make offerings by sacrificing an unblemished animal (lambs, bulls, sheep, doves, etc.) to God. The priests did this on behalf of the people. God accepted their sacrifice but we know that this system was temporal until the appearing of God's Gift of His Word made human ( Jn 1:14). (see next comment No 3).

I don't know if He dangled the fruit or if the sin is Adam or Adam and eve; but God is the head of man and man the woman, and the man needs the woman as it is not right to live alone; she was made for him, and we must treat her right; which we have often failed to do; but i do know that God had a purpose; and He made man for that purpose, I would say; and it went, I say, as it should have to fulfill that purpose; and I would say, that maybe, it is being fulfilled today and every day as we make our decisions on scripture. It is your decision just as it is mine; and the other thing that i am sure of, is that I love the comments. Great stuff

Petr

Felix, so I've given you the meaning of Jesus Christ's Name & His incarnation (i.e. Word of God coming to Earth as a man to give God's Message & to give His Life for man's sins). You ask for more info, but you don't mention specifics. So I'll write further: Many people of different religions understand that Christians believe in three gods because they don't understand (& we ourselves can't fully comprehend the mystery of Almighty God). But in the Bible, God has shown us Himself throughout the ages as only One God ( Isaiah 43-45 often mentions God speaking as being only One). But God has revealed that He brings forth Commands & Words for His people, & He also sends out His Spirit to do His bidding on Earth (e.g. empower the prophets to prophesy, to direct worship to God, to work miracles, etc). So this is ONE God, but revealed to us in His Fullness: God, His Word & His Spirit. If one aspect of God is missing, then God wouldn't be God. (see next comment).

What lovely comments. I love them

They do my heart good

The word 'Rapture' is not a biblical word. It is an extra-biblical word to denote a 'snatching away' of the Bride of Christ. So this event, unheard of in the Old Testament, was mainly spoken of by the apostle Paul (1 Thes 4:13-17; 1 Cor 15:51-53; 2 Thes 2:2 (Day of Christ as opposed to the Day of the Lord); & the Lord spoke of His Coming during His Ministry on Earth, but those mostly referred to His 2nd Coming at the end of the Great Tribulation and dawn of His reign on Earth: Mt 24:30-31; Mk 13:24-37; Lk 17:34-37. To also state, many Christians also understand the Rapture to possibly take place mid way through Anti-Christ's reign, & others, that we will go through the Tribulation & raptured at the end. However, 2 Thes 2:7,8 speaks of the 'one' who prevents the Anti-Christ from appearing now. There is speculation on who/what this 'one' is. I hold that it speaks of the Holy Spirit in believers; that if He, Who restrains the anti-Christ, leaves, then the believers go at that time.

Peter, you're doing well in Genesis. I thought I knew it well too until someone showed me that Adam had dominion over everything except other humans that would be born.

I was shown how "racism" got its start. Probably Satan trying to bring down some joy of Gods creation. It's a hot subject when we aren't dealing with something like covid19. I'm bad about asking God why this, why that. I learned to read slower lol.

What does it mean to constantly see letter S?

Glenda, the reference to Jerusalem ("street of that great City": Rev 11:8) is also made to the wicked city of Sodom ( Gen 13:13) & wicked country of Egypt ( Ezek 23:3; Ex 3:7 ff). This was the state of Jerusalem, for their wickedness not only by the Jewish leaders, but also in the sufferings & death of the Blessed Saviour. Then in Jn 19:17, the reference to Golgotha (place of a skull). Golgotha was in the vicinity of Jerusalem at a skull shaped hill; the Bible also calls this place, Calvary ( Lk 23:33). So there is no difference in these portions of Scripture - it is just the different names given to it & also figuratively refers to Sodom & Egypt.
