Romans 16.

Chris

The point you posted about Saul is significant,the LORD showed what happened with the people of Israel under the rule of the stealthy/ disguised and cynic king Saul.Very awful, as follow:

Saul reigned about two years over Israel and chose him 3.000 men;2.000 were with Saul in Michmas and in mount Bethel,and 1.000 were with Jonathan in Gibeah of Benjamin:and the rest of the people he sent every man to his tent.And JONATHAN SMOTE the garrison of the Philistines that was in Geba,and the Philistines HEARD of it.

SAUL AS A LIAR

But the disguised and liar king Saul blew the trumpet throughout ALL THE LAND, saying, Let the Hebrews hear(hear what?), and ALL Israel heard say that SAUL HAD SMITTEN a garrison of the Philistines. This diabolic behavior of Saul caused that Israel also was had in abomination with the Philistines.(The same occurs today with churches whose ministers are like the king Saul- 2Corinthians 11:13-15 combined with Revelation chap.2&3)

Saul was not a confidence ruler and guide, evidently: The people were called together by Saul to be in Gilgal, and the Philistines gathered themselves together to fight with Israel around 30.000 chariots,and 6000 horsemen and people as the sand that is on the sea in multitude(such as we see the enemies of God's people in whole earth today):and they came up, and pitched in Michmas, eastward from Bethaven.

When the men of Israel saw that they were in a strait,(for the people were distressed), then the people HIDE THEMSELVES in caves, and in thickets, and in rocks, and in high places, and in pits.

The fearful PEOPLE OF ISRAEL

Very impressive the fear of the people of Israel from the enemy, but there was a reason: Some of the Hebrews went over Jordan to the land of Gad and Gilead, as for Saul he was still in Gilgal,but Samuel came not to Gilgal to the set time he had appointed, then the people were SCATTERED from Saul,and all the people followed him TREMBLING of fear,Saul was a bad ruler,a disguised and liar king

I would like to know...is the biblical description of our earth in Genesis a salvation issue? I have heard many people discussing this. Personally, I believe that the Bible is absolutely the Word of God and because it is impossible for God to lie- the earth, seas, heavens and firmament are 100% as God describes them to us.

A few of my Christian brethren refuse to discuss "flat earth", dismissing it as unimportant to salvation. I do not like the term "flat earth", I prefer to use "plane" we live on a plane, under a firmament etc. I am alarmed when people I care about appear so obviously sold on this great deception by our enemy. Next to his infamous work on Eve in the Garden..to me this is THE biggest and perhaps consequential lie facing us today.

I guess my question is how can anyone say they believe everything written in the bible as truth and yet this one important piece of our history (and our faith in our Father) is the "exception". Isn't that heresy? or I don't know the proper word. Please help me to understand as I am a "baby Christian" and this is really weighing on my heart.

Thank you in advance for your consideration. God bless you all.

Thanks Chris

Hello, I agree with brother Chris that verse 9 and 10 are communicating the message of the living and true God and those who once served idols can now serve by the power of the Holy Ghost vs 5, the one who came from heaven, the Son, who was raised from the dead, delivered us by faith vs 3 from the wrath to come, even Jesus.

As far as human perceptions & judgements go, Nstew, I agree with you, that as Saul did, so we also, when faced with a problem we automatically look for other options (Plans B, C, etc.) to give us relief. However, Saul's situation was different. He received a clear Word from the LORD, through Samuel, & knowing how God clearly spoke through His prophets & what was spoken would come to pass, Saul should have been focussed on believing the Word given & obeying it completely. If Saul took his eyes off his circumstances & his fearful army hiding in caves & bushes & wholly trusted in the LORD, come what may, then he would have done very well & seen the "salvation of the LORD".

But he responded without faith, trusting in his plans to get them out of the mess, which also clearly mirrors how often we, even as Christians, respond in difficult, sometimes overwhelming situations. But when we do hear the Word of the LORD clearly to our hearts (from the Word read or the Holy Spirit), we must single-mindedly adhere to His Direction to know His Blessing & a perfect outcome. But if we don't obey, we, or another, might just suffer in some way, but hopefully we would have learned an important lesson to fully trust in God no matter what our minds or hearts tell us. Saul suffered & his crown was given to another.

Matthew 24:24. For there shall rise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders: insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

Seek 'false apostles and false Christs' and ye shall find.

Matthew 7:7. Seek, and ye shall find.

Linda I have not seen anywhere in God's word that refers to aliens, such as you extraterrestrials? No matter, it's not supported by God's Word.

Heavenly Father, I pray that You lighten CSmith's work. Show CSmith what must be done and what can be left out. Bless CSmith with one who is reliable to help. Oh Lord God Almighty manifest Your power through CSmith. God bless you.

Been there done that, we definitly get caught up in lifes turmoils in trying to juggle work, home, family & friends not wanting to upset anything or cause more turmoil. Take a step back, turn to His word & pray daily for His guidance. If you earnestly seek Him, He knows your inner most heart, He will guide you to what He wants for you & yours yet when He does, listen.! Took me yrs to learn how to shut out the noise around me but now, wow, what an awesome feeling of His peace that really does pass all understanding. You'll still have struggles yet walk by Him & they will smooth out faster & your knowlege of His will for us, will grow & you will prosper.! It's amazing.!

*Heavenly Father please be w/CSmith925 as they are in need of your love & guidance now. I pray your will for them saturates their soul allowing them to grow in your love & wisdom daily.! In Jesus name I pray, Amen.!

Heavenly Father we thank you always for your precious Son Jesus. Lord I ask that you walk w/Addie in school, daily, keeping her lil heart pure & set on you & all the school children these days in the evil that learks the halls. Remember Jessica & her family in their daily walk (or getting to know you) as well as David Lord, in keeping him in your love & wisdom.! In Christ Jesus name, I pray these thing, Amen.!

Lord Jesus you know the cries of our hearts and the petitions we have made even here. I continue to ask. Please grant soon breakthrough. I ask for strong protection, deliverance, healing, salvation (those not saved), guidance and all the specific situations and circumstances previously mentioned. Please grant help to all in need on here and everywhere, esp. salvation. Please confront A about her behavior and comfort K. Please heal M. Please also have your hand on the camp this week in all aspects incl. these 16-year old's. Thank you. In your holy name I pray. Amen.

The story of George Mueller was a great encouragement to me. Lord give us childlike faith and trust in your word just like you gave to him. I ask for Pnovello to be encouraged, strengthened and Lord yes I ask for her to be healed. We know from Hebrews 11 that not all who looked to the promises received their fulfillment in this life because you have something greater for us in store. Help us Lord. The enemy knows he has but a short time and assaults us left and right. Fight our battles Lord, rise up in great power. Glorify your name in our midst. Save multitudes before it is too late. We know you are coming very soon. Thank you Lord Jesus. Amen.

Thank you so much for your prayers. May the Lord bless you and yours abundantly.

Blessings Cheryl1655,

For clarification, Chris correctly used the term "this" Jesus in the fourth sentence of his reply, referring to the Son. For further clarification, the word "even" in v 10 doesn't infer to an additional individual other than Jesus. Try replacing the word "even" with the word "yes"; or the words "who is", and of course the word "even.

What I read in this verse reminds me that it was the power from the God of Life which overcame death. The rising of Jesus manifested in deliverance. It didn't occur through crucifixion which is death. Although this death appears as reality to us, how real was it to God and/or Jesus to whom death holds no power over.

It would seem reasonable that God's Holy Son couldn't fear death at all because God God is Life, not death, and thus death is meaningless because what God creates shares His life. Oh death, where is thy sting now?

Just as Perfect Love drives out fear, so does God Who is Life drive out its opposite which is death. Life and death cannot coexist: both cannot be God's reality; truth. Perhaps they both cannot be ours.

Love his enthusiasm of how lufe is & what things should be like, like his teaching from Proverbs. Spot on.! He does a great job, IF he wants to be an influancer & in my opinion, he really should concentrate on children.

I'd have liked to hear more God truth cuz evil is something we all know & see daily & to keep focusing on it, takes our focus off God.! However, from all the ones I listened to, although truthful & very intertaining, (99% to 1%) he doesn't focus on Christ as much as he does the enjoyment of intertaining ppl which inturn gets them feeling good & (in hopes of having a better life), gets them to give their hard earned money getting Nothing inreturn..TILL..

God has to undo everything they learned backwards inorder to open their heart to His truth ! That is:Jesus is The ONLY way, The ONLY truth & The ONLY Life! For w/out HIM & HIS DBR, we are NOTHING my friend.! DEFINITLY NOT as good as Voddie Baucham. At least he reads from THE word & exsplains in detail what things mean biblically, the way God intended.!. NOT other way around. Mr.Jennings does it worldly, "we are in the world yet not to be of it".!

*Heavenly Father I beg of you to open the hearts of believers that earnestly seek you yet keep getn turned away by wolves in sheeps clothing. Lord I ask that you guide them all before it ends up making your work harder so you can get their minds renewed in your truth. We need more of You in our lives cuz evil comes naturally. Lord, infact, if you would just get ppl AWAY from all electronics even if for a few days, letting them see how times would be when we will not have such. Please, hear my words in prayer as I ask of these things in your Sons name, Amen*.!

Oh, I see, thnx.! Fixen to look up Gino Jennings. Will get bk to you on him. I used to be an avid listener of Joyce Meyers till I figured out her stratagy.! Wow, what I'v found about many t.v. evangalist is just sickening. Some ppl may actually be saved listening to them however, as I was, yet we must keep in mind, God knows & has their heart if they truly believe, He will turn their eyes from evil in Him time.! So yes I most definitly will look Gono up & thank you again. God works w/each of us differantly. Some are going to prefer one over another for how & what they teach according to what God wants for us & in His direction we should follow.!

Hi Cheryl1655,

If I may, the word even is italicized, it was added by the translators thinking it would help English understanding. Read it without the word even and see if that helps. Sometimes the italicized words help, but sometimes they don't. In this verse, it is not two, it is one, the Son of God, Jesus the Messiah/Christ.

My understanding of this verse, we are to wait for God's Son/Jesus who will be coming from heaven, (Jesus's second coming) the Son whom God raised from the dead, 2000 years ago is Jesus. And Jesus/the Son of God is the one who died for us and delivered us from the wrath to come.

I hope this helps and forgive me if I have made it more confusing.

God bless,

RLW

David, After reading your comment, I want to remind you that we are in a fight between good and evil. I too pray that God will touch someone's heart in the Biden administration that can actually make a difference, yet at the same time I'm careful as to how I pray for this group of evil degenerates. They know what they're doing, as they march toward Marxism and Communism. They are trying to destroy everything good about America.

Look at the overflow of illegal aliens coming across our southern border. We have no idea what the intentions of most of these people are. As a reminder to all: Heaven has borders "Not all who say, Lord, Lord shall enter into the kingdom of heaven, but he that doeth the will of my Father, which is in heaven ".

I am not trying to be negative, but rather, I want to be realistic as to what is really going on in our country. No matter what happens our God is in control. When Christ returns, He's coming for judgement.

Seek, and ye will find ( Matthew 7:7) By seeking 'A World Deceived' you will find.

Iy is comforting to know that so many people are seeking the truth, By searching 'A World Deceived' it showed 34,200.000 Listings in Canada.

We explained earlier how Satan deceived this whole world ( Rev. 12:9) as confirmed in 2 Cor. 11:13-15 through the Religions of this world with the Mystery Babylon (The Roman Catholic Church) as its head and the Mother of Harlots and Abominations of the Earth (other Religions that followed). It didn't refer to a particular Religion or Cult, but it referred to the whole world.

John 3:19. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

No, that does not explain it, the verse reads raise his son and even Jesus speaking of 2 separate people ?

Thanks Chris.

It was Samuel's failure to keep the agreed schedule of his meeting that led to "this sad situation". Why punish Saul for trying a plan B, given the perceived tragedy he was facing?

hi, Nstew

A much discuss & debate subject on this site, Obedience, that's require in both Testaments

OT, in & of man's own ability. Which Saul continually fail to do, in this case waiting upon Samuel .

NT, the Spirit of Grace ability in mankind, its in man, but not of man, but of God. Grace will teaches & empowers man to will & do of His good pleasure, if believed in, God works by faith, that works by love

Father, through Your tender mercies

grant all of us a greater love for You

that we would pick up our cross & be followers of Your Son. John 14:31

Amen!

Today is my granddaughter Addie first day of school she is in the first grade pray for her , as well pray for all the school children this year , remember my daughter Jessica and her family remember me in your prayers , thank you and God Bless you

Hi Nstew. To learn of this sad situation & to the commandment that King Saul had to keep, we need to go back to 1 Samuel chapter 10. After Saul was crowned King over Israel, the prophet Samuel gave him some clear directions in this chapter. One of them was that Saul should head towards Gilgal & after he arrived there, he should wait for Samuel for seven days. After this time, Samuel would come to him, offer sacrifices & give the king further directions ( 1 Samuel 10:7,8).

However, as Saul waited for Samuel to come & the seven days had now expired & Samuel had still not arrived and seeing the fearful condition of his people as they remained before the large advancing Philistine army, took upon himself to offer the burnt offering for God's Mercies & Help upon this outnumbered dejected Saul's army. For this sin, of not abiding by God's Command (through Samuel) to wait & also for conducting the sacrifices himself which he was not authorized to do, Samuel gave Saul the stern rebuke & the promise of the loss of his kingship as a result ( 1 Samuel 13:10-14).

For things to slow down. it's feels too much going on in my life right now and i can't keep up. i'm asking God to slow my life down.

1 Samuel 13:14

But now thy kingdom shall not continue: the LORD hath sought him a man after his own heart, and the LORD hath commanded him to be captain over his people, because thou hast not kept that which the LORD commanded thee.

What was it that " thou hast not kept that which the LORD commanded thee"?

Heavenly Father, I kindly ask You to bless Dogman, for him praying that You bless RicoUS. Father, I ask You to bless us with the manifestation of Your supernatural power in our lives.

Dogman, thank you for responding. Yes, you are right, I need to look at Him not the source. It's almost impossible since mirrors are everywhere. Have you heard of George Muller? He himself was so desperate that he cried out for healing or heaven, now. The Lord healed him. Once again thank you and God bless you with His manifestation of His love for you.
