Thank you for your reply Fred. I appreciate your comment. I want truth and I seek truth with all of my heart. I have left the prosperity gospel message after 20 years and I am hungry for His living Word. I want out of my belly to flow rivers of living water.

Why Philip Could not Bautize in the Holy Espirit in Samaria

Does verse 62 hereby nullify the one-time-only nature of salvation and elevate works salvation Currently lost on this.

I was Denied Disability.

All the modern signs may seem to show that the woman represents the RC religion /organisation, but please consider Revelation 11:8 And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified. The "great city" is clearly Jerusalem, my dears - in the Future Day of the LORD! The seven mountains represent the seven kingdoms under which Israel was held captive - Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Persia, Greece, Rome and the seventh kingdom into which the vile person comes and becomes the Antichrist when Satan enters into him. The man will be "the 8th" - used to bring judgments on rejecters of The Lamb! basar-blessings.org

I love Jesus

To answer your question, just go straight into His Word. Jesus is "the Word", He is the same as He was yesterday. Remember, Jesus didn't abolish the law, He completed it. The old testament holds enough examples about tithing. As Believers, we can't keep going to the "letter" or theology of Gods Word. As well as separating the bible as two era. It's one book, one God, one Word. Jesus is the same as yesterday, so He will be the same in the New Testament as He was in the Old. Peace

There is a way to escape... JESUS.

Lazarus died towards the end of Jesus' ministry. In Jn 11, Lazarus was then raised from the dead & lived a normal life. Unless, he is still miraculously walking amongst us in the 21st Century, I would say he would have died again and was buried. Yet, he still faced another death ( Jn 12:10,11), as the chief priests planned to put him (and Jesus) to death since through Lazarus' resurrection, many Jews began to believe on Jesus. We don't know what happened to him after this, but traditions give us a possibility. He would then have died, possibly in old age & is awaiting his 2nd resurrection (1 Thes 4:15-18). Here is a man well acquainted with death but remained true to the Lord whom he loved.

The above verses are examples of how artfully plus quickly the forces of evil using mankind attack those who accept JESUS as their SAVIOR, as it relates to SALVATION through John 3:16-21. The forces of evil knows how gullible humans are to a lie, especially a half-truth, or ..., ..., so in 2020, where ever evil can, evil continue using deceived men /wolfs with sheep clothing to torment, scatter, kill, device, ..., especially those of of John 3:16-21.

Chris...I agree about the JW. I've never met one who had doubts about their beliefs. I was a street evangelist and it's hard to turn away wipe the dust off my shoes and travel on. I do because the next person may listen. I can't go to the nursing homes at this time; but maybe soon. Thanks for your comment.

how to accept Jesus

What else did Jesus say to those that thought that their works were important to salvation If ye were of Abraham, you would do the works of Abraham. Is that a contradiction No. What does the Bible say that Abraham did, his work Genesis states that Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him (Abraham) as righteousness. Your faith is what saves you, not your works. The story of Cain and Abel, is the story of the flesh (Cain), versus the Spirit of God (Abel), and how the flesh is always inferior to the Spirit. The Bible says that those that live in the flesh cannot please God, thus Cain's offering was not accepted, because it came from his ego, and his flesh. God bless, in Jesus' name.

The common thought is, that the offering that Cain gave was based on ego. Cain was basically saying: "Look at me, look at what I have done." Exalting himself, while trying to look pious. Basically, a humble-brag. In addition, Abel's offering is a foreshadowing of the sacrifice of Christ, and is meant to teach that there is no acceptance without the blood. You can also look at it in this context, the Israelites of old thought that they were safe from condemnation based entirely on their works. The Israelites said to Christ: We have Abraham as our father, but what did Jesus say to them That their father was the devil, and their works were false. Cain believed in his works, and Abel had faith

Bill...the Book of James has been in contention over the centuries, as an authority that faith alone does not give salvation. If that were the case, then Jesus' death on the cross is of no effect since one's accepting of it by faith alone secures salvation. If anything else is included, viz. good works for others, baptism, faithfulness in Church going or tithing, etc., then Christ's work & salvation are no longer of grace but of works. ( Rom 11:5,6). However, James is correct, that the proof of real saving faith is seen in a life of good works. If a Christian says that he has faith, and have not works, his faith is dead (Js 2:14-17). Faith saves, but works follow only as evidence of grace.

I was not raised to go to church, but I do believe in God. I try to read the bible daily and have so many questions. what does it mean to be saved what do I have to do

I pray for spiritual increase in life, the super natural to familiar with my life, God's favor, grace and love with me, friends, family and the body of Christ. Amen

Mishael...we usually have problems with cults because most of us know very little about their beliefs. It's not difficult to do some research on them so you might be more prepared when you meet. They too appreciate that a 'Christian' will give them time since they get mostly negative receptions. The important subject that JWs bring forward is on God's Kingdom on Earth & we should all share in it. Sounds nice but they don't believe in Hell, so if we refuse to accept their teaching, then we just die & remain in the grave & not rise to live again. My advice to them is that Jesus' death was to give us opportunity to not be in eternal Hell rather than not be left in the grave. No comfort in this.

If Lazarus was raised from the dead can he die again or is he still alive

Mt. 3:5-9: As John the Baptist was baptising (unto repentance), some Pharisees & Saducees had also come to see the spectacle. John basically told them that you talk of repentance but you have no fruit to show for it. And knowing their beliefs that Jews claim to be the children of Abraham (i.e. they only have the right to enter Heaven regardless of how they live their lives), John, looking down at the stones about him, said that from these very stones, God is able to raise children to Abraham. John not only opposed their belief system but in a sense, was saying that even Gentiles would one day have the opportunity. And through Jesus' Sacrifice, all nations can be saved through faith in Jesus.

Sorry for not responding I tend to for stuff I think I have all timers god forgive me for my sins an my our Angels help us lead our wayz the wright ways everlastinglife n love

Psalm 91 looks like it could refer to the present pandemic. However, the message there is that the LORD Whom we trust in, is well able to keep us & protect us from this & all evils that may be before us. We need to shelter under His Wings, look steadfastly into His Face, & have the Mind of Christ ( Phil 2:5) in our responses to others. How am I doing in all this Doing well, by His immeasurable Grace, as He continues to minister in His Own special ways. I feel for those who do not have this blessed benefit, as they suffer with isolation, without jobs, & fear of the unknown. We are on the cusp of a whole new world outlook, as was with 9/11, so praying it will bring on a spiritual awakening.

Luke 6:29: "& unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek, offer also the other; & him that taketh away thy cloak, forbid not to take thy coat also". When Jesus spoke those words, He showed the example of love and non-retaliation that we as believers need to exhibit to those who despise us.This is a great testimony of the love of Christ that no man can speak against. It IS hard to perform, especially in a culture where the opposite is the norm, but we are called to live on a higher plane. You are right: to pray for them ( Mt 5:44), to speak gently to them ( Prov 15:1), & give them space to reflect & maybe reconcile ( Mt 5:24). And to "offer your coat" meant that one would be cold in the Winter.

I have never heard of it as being in the Bible & after a search, I couldn't find the phrase. More likely, just a colloquial phrase in today's speech, to give some measure of comfort & assurance that most of our present sorrows will diminish or dissolve.

I quite agree. Christianity is to the World, just another religion, when in fact they should see it as a people changed and enjoying an abundant life: lives living beyond the carnal grips & deceptions of the world. We send out missionaries, who do a mighty work, we give our prayer & financial support to them, but at home our lives rarely demonstrate the finished work at the Cross. We stay mute when unborn babies are murdered, when homosexuality is given free rein, when convicted murderers & rapists are freed to repeat their wicked acts on innocents, & when lies & carnality become truth & purity. Many of the apostles died horrible deaths for the Gospel's sake AND for their stand against evil.

Isaiah 43 answers all my questions. God's people are precious in his sight. Every one called by His name he created for His glory. He formed us. My long standing question of whether God and Christ and the Holy Spirit are One. 43:11, "I am the Lord: and beside me there is no Savior." Jesus was God in the flesh. I trust now that the Holy Spirit is God our Comforter. We are here to do His work and bring His people to Him. He is always with us even as we die and in that twinkling are then with Him in Heaven. God bless all of you. Your comments inspire me. This KJVonline Bible has been a God send to me. Thank you to those who keep it up for us.

The only two references that come up are in Joshua 9:5,12; and these are spelt the U.K. way: mould. These references don't give the same application as your references to moth and rust, but to the deception by the Gibeonites when they went to visit Joshua.

In keeping with the painful & worrying times we are in for many people, as the children of God, "when these things come to pass, then LOOK UP, for your redemption draweth nigh". Lk 21:28. Blessings & His Power on you too, Debra, as we continue in prayer & witness to those around us of our "so great salvation".

Please, play for my kindred whether through fostership or through biology to be built upon Jesus as the basis of their Life for all time to come. They may not warm up to Him, since they have split up in a sense to the philosphies of life, asserting that this is the Truth, instead of the Absolute Truth in God. But may the Lord take them back on the route to Him, not allowing them to career in a sense, or even careen off it, through his fastness and fast ways in a difference senses. May the Friends to them and me also be touched upon through Jesus as well if they should run into each other's routes, so that the annointing may be contagious to make neophytes in the world on. Sometimes it hurts
